Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Let's go. We've seen it. Let's find out what the reason for that boat is, and how it got going without sails or oars." Princess Daisy said eagerly, caring about this matter very much.

"Yeah." Viscount Mueller nodded, and he also wanted to know why.

"Tap Tat Tat..."

After crossing the other side of the river, they boarded the carriage and headed for the city. They were going to investigate the strange ship. It was so fast without sails, and this speed could represent many things.

…………

At night, in the Xiyang City Castle, in the study.

Liu Feng was flipping through the government affairs. The Mid-Autumn Festival just passed yesterday, and he had some things to deal with piled up in his hands.

"Crunch..."

"Master." Mina opened the door and walked in, and put a report on Liu Feng's desk.

"What is this?" Liu Feng frowned, picked up the file and asked.

"The whereabouts of Princess Daisy and Viscount Muller today." Mina answered, taking a sip of water from the water glass on the table.

Liu Feng flipped through the document, which contained detailed records of everything that Princess Daisy and Viscount Mueller did after they left the castle.

"Going to the grain field?" Liu Feng raised his brows again, and continued with a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that they are still not at ease."

"Master, the most important thing is the back." Mina reminded, as to why the dwarf went to the grain field, she also guessed.

"Hmm." Liu Feng read the entire document, frowned, and began to think.

At the back of this document are some things that Princess Daisy and Viscount Muller did after returning to the city.

They were inquiring about steamships, but the people in the city who knew about steamships could count on both hands, so how could they be able to inquire about them.

"Send someone to deliberately leak some news about the steam engine to them." Liu Feng said after pondering for a while.

"Huh, why?" Mina asked in amazement, isn't this steam engine a secret?

"Let them know the application of the steam engine in some fields, rather than the principle, and it will have little impact." Liu Feng's black eyes are full of wisdom.

"Master, are you planning to lure the dwarves to increase their cooperation?" Mina instantly understood.

"Well, after the train is built in the future, the laying of the rails alone will be very troublesome..." Liu Feng said calmly. Some of his plans will be accelerated, so the amount of iron ore will have to be doubled.

To increase the volume of transactions, some costs can still be paid, and coal-fired steam engines can still be used for transactions, but the laying of railroad tracks should draw a big cake and invite some people to come in and cooperate.

"..." Mina didn't ask much, turned around and left the study, and arranged for someone to leak the secret.

…………

At this time, Viscount Muller and Princess Daisy are in the box on the second floor of Zuixiao Building, ordering a table of dishes and eating.

"After asking so many people, no one knows." Viscount Muller was discouraged. After they returned to the city, they sent someone to inquire. As a result, at night, without exception, no one knew what they were talking about.

"Why don't we ask Liu Feng directly." Princess Daisy put a piece of mutton into her mouth with a fork.

"I don't think Your Excellency Liu Feng will tell us." Viscount Muller sighed. He knew very well what changes the ship would bring, whether it was used for war or transportation, it would be a huge change.

Suddenly, a voice from the empty box next door caught Viscount Muller's attention.

"Kefu, why are you free to treat me to dinner today?" In the next room, two people were chatting.

"The workshop gave me a day off today, so I have time." The man known as Kefu replied.

"That's great. I heard that your workshop is driven by a power machine, and the efficiency has been improved several times." Another person sighed.

"This can't be said indiscriminately, the city lord ordered it to be kept secret." Kefu sounded slightly reproachful.

"There is no one else here. I also heard that the city lord has a kind of boat, which is also driven by a power engine. Do you think it is true or false?"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"One more, (￣▽￣). Please support.". .

Chapter 896: This is confidential. (2 for support)

Viscount Muller and Princess Daisy glanced at each other. They both heard the conversation in the next box. Isn't this the information they want to know?

"So it's His Excellency Liu Feng's order not to be leaked..." Viscount Muller lowered his voice.

When he heard about the ship, he knew what he was talking about, but he didn't know what the engine was.

"Keep listening." Princess Daisy whispered, her ears pressed against the wall, and she continued to eavesdrop on the conversation next door.

Allen Knight looked at the two of them sticking to the wall, he couldn't bear to look directly, and turned his head silently.

"This seems to be true. The nephew of my great uncle from far away came to join me yesterday. He said that he saw a strange boat on the other side of the pontoon bridge. It had no sails or oars. It was pulling a boat and it was driving very fast. I thought You lied to me, and now it seems to be true." Kefu exclaimed, but looked at the wall next to him.

Koff, an intelligence officer in the Security Department, is responsible for disseminating leading speeches and is known as a big mouth in the city.

"It should be, the Lord City Master is really powerful, you can make such a thing." Another person sighed and praised Liu Feng.

"The power machine is a secret. Don't tell others. If the city lord finds out, he will be severely punished." Kefu said with a warning in his words.

"I know, come to drink, we haven't seen each other for a long time, if you don't get drunk today..."

"Okay, drink..."

Viscount Muller continued to listen for a while, and sat back in his seat after realizing that the next topic had nothing to do with the power machine.

"A power machine, what kind of thing is it?" Viscount Muller scratched his hair, arousing his search for a power machine.

Listening to their chats, this power machine seems to be able to drive the operation of some workshops and improve work efficiency. In his opinion, this power machine is a magic weapon.

"I found that it was really the right time to come to Xiyang City this time." Princess Daisy sighed.

"It's indeed the right time." Viscount Mueller nodded approvingly.

"Let's go back to the castle and talk to Your Excellency Liu Feng." Princess Daisy stood up and walked outside.

"Tap Tat Tat..."

After dinner, Viscount Muller and Princess Daisy got into the carriage and went back to the castle.

"Boom boom boom..."

The two came to Liu Feng's room door, reached out and knocked on the door.

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