Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Okay, let's start, they all follow your command." The bald Viscount Genie was stunned, he didn't expect Niu Ben to be so direct.

"Let's start to act, first push down the old port and tear it down." Niu Ben said in a deep voice, directing the civilians to start to act.

"Boss Niu, is the entire port going to be demolished?" Viscount Genie said in amazement. He didn't expect that the entire port would be demolished.

"Yes, a brand new port will be built here. In the future, merchant ships to and from Xiyang City can dock here." Niu Ben responded lightly.

"No, if this port is completely demolished, where will our ship berth?" Viscount Genie was stunned and asked in a daze.

"It may take us a while. Isn't there an open space over there? You can temporarily build a port there." Niu Ben said coldly, pointing to the pile of rocks in front of him.

"This..." Viscount Genie was dumbfounded, and was about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Your port is too small. In the future, we will have more merchant ships, and there is not enough to park them, so we must rebuild them all. The place here is small, so we can only use it all." Niu Ben said seriously.

"I..." Viscount Genie couldn't express his suffering, and in the end he had to rebuild a port.

Niu Ben glanced coldly at Viscount Genie, and continued, "Let's get started, time is a little tight, and we should finish it before winter."

"..." Viscount Genie really has no choice now, what else can he do if he doesn't build it, he has no right to resist at all, and now he has to build it if he doesn't build it.

He turned his head and gave a few instructions to his subordinates, got into the carriage directly, and returned to the castle, out of sight and out of mind.

3.4 He is still very distressed. It will cost a lot of gold coins to build the simplest port. During this period of time, he made some money because of the textile technology. Now it seems that most of it will be invested in the new port. .

Otherwise, during the period without a port, when other merchants come to Mar City to do business, if there is no port for them to call, I am afraid that they will be lost to other cities directly. You must know that not only their family has linen.

Niu Ben didn't care about Viscount Genie, he still had to be strong outside, lest some people play tricks.

"Remove all the wood and fill this place with stones..."

Niu Ben directed the workers, and the project was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Chapter 824: Another World Version Recitation Contest.

In the castle of Xiyang City, Wei Ya came to the study and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom..."

"My lord, can I come in?" Wei Ya shouted with doubts on her face.

"Come in." Liu Feng's voice came from inside the room. .

"Crunch..."

After Wei Ya pushed open the door, she went in and saw Liu Feng holding a page of paper, discussing something with An Li and Mina.

"My lord, what can I do for you?" Wei Ya looked at the three of them suspiciously.

She was sitting in her room reading a novel just now, and she hadn't finished reading "City of Miracles", and then she was called over by the maid, saying that the adults wanted to discuss something with her.

"Sit down first." Liu Feng smiled.

"Is it about education?" Wei Ya blinked her light red eyes curiously, and naturally pulled 18 on the chair and sat down.

Generally, when Liu Feng came to her, it was about education, which also made her calm down and looked at Liu Feng intently.

"I plan to hold a recitation contest to improve the literary accomplishment of common people." Liu Feng said with a smile on his lips.

"Hey, what is the recitation competition?" Wei Ya's rabbit ears stood up and she was surprised.

"Just let the students..." Liu Feng simply explained the rules of the recitation competition. In fact, it is to let the children choose an article by themselves, and then read it aloud with emotion.

"It seems very interesting. Do you want all the literate students to participate?" Wei Ya's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that this was a good competition.

"Yes, all literate children can participate, and a scholarship will be set up. Whoever ranks in the top ten will get a scholarship." Liu Feng nodded. He decided to use this method to improve the enthusiasm of those children in learning. .

He recently heard that there are many students who have no intention of studying. This is not acceptable. Xiyang City will develop for a long time in the future, but it needs a lot of talents.

And now in Xiyang City, although there are many entertainment items, such as horse racing and boxing, these are only suitable for adults to participate in, but not suitable for children.

So Liu Feng planned to hold a reading competition, once every semester.

"How much scholarship?" Wei Ya asked with a frown.

"The first place will get one silver coin, the second place will get 900 copper coins, the third place will get 800 copper coins... the tenth place will get 100 copper coins." Liu Feng said the top ten indifferently. famous rewards.

"With the motivation of coins, those children will definitely work hard." Mina laughed after hearing this. After all, the silver coin scholarship for the first place is quite a lot.

But now most of the people who can read and write in school are common people's children, and their family conditions are not very rich.

The current salary in Xiyang City is about 100 copper coins per month on average, and the highest reward Liu Feng gives is directly 1 silver coin.

"This method is good." An Li also agreed with this approach.

"Weiya, what do you think?" Liu Feng looked at the rabbit-eared lady.

"That's a good idea." Wei Ya was amazed, and her light red eyes were full of admiration for Liu Feng.

She knew that the students were a little impetuous recently, they all yearned to go outside, wanted to go out to play, and some wanted to be newspaper sellers, especially those orphans.

"That's good. I want you to be the judge and organize the reading competition." Liu Feng smiled gently, and explained his purpose for coming to her.

"Eh?? Let me be a judge?" Wei Ya froze for a moment, then waved her hands hastily and said, "No, no, sir, I can't."

"Why?" Liu Feng asked with a chuckle.

"I, I'm afraid I'll mess it up..." Wei Ya grabbed the corner of her clothes and said incredulously, she had never done this recitation competition before.

"You haven't tried it, how do you know? Believe in yourself." Liu Feng smiled, and then comforted, "Don't worry, I will let other teachers cooperate with you."

"We'll help you too." An Li said hastily raising her hand.

"Then I'll give it a try..." Wei Ya glanced at them and nodded hesitantly.

"This is the recitation competition process I wrote. You can take it back and refer to it. If you don't understand, you can ask me." Liu Feng handed over the paper in his hand.

This is the plan he sorted out from the earth, and it will be more suitable for the situation here.

Wei Ya took the paper, glanced at it roughly, and found that she only needed to follow the above process, and it seemed that there was no difficulty.

I am an old 307 teacher, and I should communicate with those students, and it should be easy for them to accept it.

What's more, there are coins rewards for the top ten in this competition, which is enough to attract them to prepare for this competition.
