Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Mina stared wide-eyed, looking like a fool, and lost her voice, "You don't understand this, but you still bought it?"

Liu Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I bought this place, so you didn't starve to death."

"Ahem..." Mina choked, and sighed, "Did you forget that it's going to be autumn now?"

"What happened to Autumn?" Liu Feng had a bad feeling.

"Stupid!" Mina said helplessly, "Autumn is here, the harvest season is here, and the feast of some thieves has begun."

Liu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he said in shock, "You mean, someone will come to snatch the food?"

"Of course, you don't even know this? Are you from the big city?" Mina asked in surprise.

"Uh..." Liu Feng shook his head and made up, "I'm from the east."

Mina was even more amazed, and said loudly, "East, that is a few other wealthy human countries. Why did you come to this bitter cold place? You are really special."

Liu Feng rolled his eyes. He came to this place as soon as he crossed. Fortunately, he was in this place. If he was in the east, he might be taken away by someone after he took out a glass or something.

"Tell me about the situation in the west." Liu Feng urged.

"Okay!" Mina nodded, and began to give Liu Feng a general introduction.

Mina couldn't say how big the land to the west was. She only said that there were several human kingdoms and several orc kingdoms.

Five years ago, an extremely cold storm came to the west, and it affected a wide range, including the kingdom of orcs and several human kingdoms, and countless people froze to death.

This extremely cold storm is called by the troublemakers: the anger of the ice and snow goddess.

For five full years, the 'Ice and Snow Goddess' anger' has not receded, which directly led to the demise of several countries, and everyone left these countries to seek life outside.

Mina came out of one of the orc kingdoms, and Xiyang City is located on the edge of the West Land, not far from the 'Wrath of the Ice and Snow Goddess' raging area.

So in winter, the cold wind of the extremely cold storm will blow here, causing the current winter to arrive earlier than five years ago, and it is also colder.

In a small city like Xiyang City, there are tens of thousands of people in the west, so the people who escaped from the "Wrath of the Ice and Snow Goddess", or the orcs, are homeless. Under the food, you can only be a horse thief to snatch the food.

This will allow them to survive the long winter.

Chapter 0008 A lot of money must have a brave man.

"That is to say, when the wheat field is harvested, someone will come to snatch it?" Liu Feng frowned.

"Of course, weak cities will be robbed." Mina affirmed, because she had also followed horse thieves, and she had seen everything with her own eyes.

Liu Feng frowned, the autumn harvest was not far away, at most twenty days away, he immediately thought of that old man Carter, and now he knew why the other party sold the city and territory to him.

"What are you going to do now? I found that there is not even a maid or guard in the castle, let alone any knights."

Mina clasped her arms around her chest, and said calmly, "Without knights, you can't resist the attack of horse thieves at all. I'm afraid that even you will be killed by horse thieves; they will even occupy your castle and become the leader of this city." New owner."

She had heard such things a lot, that several cities were occupied by horse thieves, and they were living in an aboveboard manner.

"Indeed, the original knights and guards were taken away by Carter." Liu Feng sighed.

Twenty days later, if there were no accidents, his life as a city lord would come to an end.

"Would you like to come with me?" Mina asked suddenly, she didn't know why she said this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she explained, "I'm just repaying the favor, yes, I'm repaying the favor."

Liu Feng couldn't help laughing, and looked at Maoerniang fixedly, and said calmly, "Isn't there still 20 more days?"

"You..." Mina looked at the other party's confident smile, stopped trying to persuade, and said angrily, "Then you don't want to die."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Feng to reply, she twisted her hips and left the study with a flick of her tail. She gave Liu Feng some space to digest.

She is an understanding cat ear girl!

Liu Feng looked at the door that was gently closed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Carter, you're so calculating, so calculating, it's just..."

It's just that he is not an ordinary person. For others, this is an unsolvable situation.

Either abandon the city and leave, or wait to be robbed. If you are lucky, you can survive, if you are not good, you can only die, but he is a man with golden fingers.

"It seems that we have to plan carefully, it's not easy to be a city lord."

While muttering, Liu Feng took a roll of sheepskin from the desk, took out a pen and began to write on it.

In this world, there is no paper, most of them use sheepskin as paper; or use cloth as paper, and only the nobles can afford it.

After a while, before putting down the pen, Liu Feng rolled up the sheepskin, got up and left the study.

Along the way, Liu Feng was thinking about a problem, that is, how to quickly pull up a team of combatable soldiers, which was his primary task to settle down.

Looking at the empty castle, Liu Feng smiled wryly, "It seems that we have to go and fetch Uncle Niuben's family first. With their help, it should be much better."

Niu Ben's family, he just came to this world, met a family by chance, and the other party saved his life, and he lived in the other party's home for most of the month.

He found a wooden board, fixed the written parchment on it, and then took the wooden board out of the castle, and erected the wooden board in the small square.

It immediately attracted some curious people to look over, but no one dared to come over. Liu Feng smiled and left.

As soon as he left, the people came over and stared at the parchment in a daze.

"Hey! Does anyone know how to read? Read what's written on it? Is there another tax increase?"

It is a luxury to let a group of people who are struggling with hunger be literate.

If Liu Feng hadn't met Niu Ben's family, he wouldn't know the characters of this world. Under Niu Ben's teaching, after a month of study, he only understood most of the characters.

Buff, about fifty years old, is one of the few people who can read in Xiyang City. When he came to the wooden board, he read it silently, then his eyes widened and he lost his voice, "120 copper coins?"

"What 120 copper coins? Mr. Buff, please read it quickly."

"Cough cough cough..."

Buff regained his composure slightly, and read aloud, "The City Lord's Mansion is now recruiting three clerks who can read and write. After the interview is successful, the monthly salary is 120 copper coins. Those who are interested can go to the City Lord's Mansion for an interview now."

"Recruiting experienced hunters, aged 16 to 30, limited to 50 people, those who pass the trial after three days, the monthly salary is 100 copper coins."

"Recruit those who are physically strong and have no bad habits. From 16 to 30 years old, only 100 people will be recruited. After passing the interview in three days, the monthly salary will be 80 copper coins."

"The above two are requirements for joining the army. Those who are interested, please take the test in front of the city lord's mansion in three days."

As soon as Buff finished reading, everyone present was stunned, and then a strong clamor broke out.

"Is this a lie? There are 80 copper coins for one month of joining the army?"

"That's right, the hunter actually has 100 copper coins, which is too exaggerated."
