Become the city lord from today

In the early morning, around eight o'clock, the streets were full of people.

"Newspapers are sold, newspapers are sold, good news for the New Year, good news."A Le was shouting everywhere with the newspaper, with a smile on his face. He was very happy and contented these days.

He sold newspapers in the morning and noon, and in the evening he went to Mr. Buff's night hall to learn literacy. He could already write I have my own name, I can have food and clothing, and the next step is to save money to buy a house.

"Newspapers are sold, good news for the New Year, and the Lord of the City has written blessings for everyone."Ale shouted, waving the newspaper

"Newspaper seller, give me a newspaper. Tori shouted, holding two steel coins in his hand, the change for buying steamed buns.

Now in Xiyang City, the wealthier families will buy a newspaper in the morning, and then spend the whole day talking about it. People discuss things in newspapers. If you don’t buy newspapers, it’s really difficult to get involved in other people’s conversations.

"Okay, sir, your newspaper."Ale immediately handed over the newspaper.

Tori took the newspaper and spread it out. The political news said Happy New Year and some New Year's gifts.Wait, for example, on the first day of the new year, you have to send red envelopes to your relatives, juniors and elders. There are also the meanings of the red envelopes and suggestions for the amount, etc.

"Huh? This is interesting. Give red envelopes to juniors. So when you go to Mr. Solo's house tonight, should you give red envelopes to Geer? Ten copper coins should be about the same, right? Just treat it as pocket money. Tori chuckled.

"Can putting door couplets on both sides of your home's door ward off evil spirits? The word"福" is pasted upside down, which means blessing has arrived? Is this okay? Tori was shocked, and then nodded seriously,"Since the Lord of the City has also posted it, I will also buy a few pieces and post them.""

Tori walked to the address where the door couplets were sold as recorded in the newspaper. He read the newspaper as he walked. He continued to read. There were many political news items, but the last one made Tori widen his eyes and said in shock,"Build a bridge over the Youshui River. , almost finished? This is no joke, right?"

He has heard about the construction of a bridge on Youshui River for a long time. He heard that it was being built a month or two ago. He didn't take it seriously at all. He thought it was just the city lord talking about it.

"After the New Year, the Youshui Floating Bridge was officially opened. The land across the Youshui River is fertile. Civilians are asked to prepare for land reclamation. They only need to pay 10% of the grain tax in the first year and 20% of the grain tax in the second year. Only 30% of the grain tax will be paid starting from three years."Tori muttered softly. He was surprised by the policy issued by the Lord of the City. He was really kind to these civilians.

He was thinking about whether to hire civilians to open up wasteland and grow wheat. After all, this is also a way to make money, but what comes next A piece of political news made Tori give up this idea.

"The City Lord's Mansion is recruiting workers and requires a large number of manpower to clear up wasteland. The monthly salary is eighty copper coins. Please sign up in three days."

Tori now knows that the city lord is making big moves again. Is he going to recruit people to grow his own food?

"Huh? This advertisement actually got accepted by this store. I heard that it costs one silver coin a day, and I’m really willing to give it up."

"……"

Princess Lucy and Jones stood on the side of the avenue, watching the muttering fat man go away, and couldn't help but become curious about the newspaper.

"Jones, should we buy a copy and take a look?"Princess Lucy asked curiously. She went there after last night. The two of them slept soundly and went out for a stroll early in the morning.

"purchase."Jones walked directly towards the boy who shouted, and in the timid eyes of the boy, he handed over two steel coins and took away a newspaper.

Ale pursed his lips, held the steel coins tightly and ran away. That woman is so cold, even colder than Miss Mina next to the Lord.

"Jones, you scared him."Princess Lucy scolded, looking at the boy going away with her golden eyes full of smiles, and reached out to take the newspaper handed over by the leopard-eared girl.

"……"Jones was speechless. That's her character. Being scared by this shows that the other person is cowardly.

"This is a newspaper? It's incredible."Princess Lucy's golden eyes trembled, and she looked at the words on the newspaper with her mouth open. She just glanced at it a few times and realized that the newspaper was definitely not handwritten.

Because it is handwritten, it is impossible for the entire article to be free of typos. More importantly, The gaps between the fonts in the newspaper were all neat.

Jones just glanced at the newspaper and stopped paying attention. She was not interested in the words at all, but the smell of meat in the air made her very interested.

"It's not handwritten, so where did this word come from?"Princess Lucy frowned and thought. This technology made her very envious. After all, all the novels she published were copied by hand, and the novels copied in this way had many typos.

Princess Lucy thought, if the novels she wrote , how wonderful it would be to be able to produce a thousand books based on this technology. Everyone can see the novel she wrote.

This should be done by the city lord. Do you want to ask him? Princess Lucy After thinking for a while, he shook his head and let go of this idea for the time being.

"conscription? What's this?"Princess Lucy frowned and read the newspaper carefully. She didn't understand this word very well, and continued to read,"The requirement is to be able to swim, be familiar with water, be physically strong, be between fifteen and thirty years old, and have a monthly salary of one hundred copper coins."

"It should be the fleet guard."Jones said calmly.

"Jones, do you read this political news? A bridge is being built across the Youshui River and is almost ready. Is this a joke?"Princess Lucy chuckled and pointed to the last piece of political news.

"Whimsical. Jones was stunned for a moment, then said coldly,"It's impossible.""

How wide is the Youshui River? Everyone knows that it is impossible to build a bridge on the Youshui River. This is clearly just sensationalism.

"Right, I don’t think it’s possible either."Princess Lucy smiled and shook her head, then looked down.

Half an hour later, Princess Lucy stood on the roadside and read a newspaper. She couldn't help but sigh,"This newspaper is really an amazing invention. With this newspaper, you can easily learn about all the big and small things happening in a city."

"Going to find Eliza?"Jones asked indifferently.

"Not for now, let’s take a look around the city."Princess Lucy rolled up the newspaper. She was very interested in the city now, especially the newspaper office and the library.

"Second update,(￣▽￣)Please support."
