Otherworld Management Manual

Zhang Feng was very resentful, very unhappy, very helpless, what happened to this world!

It doesn't matter if you inherit someone else's property, but you also need to inherit someone else's wife?

How can there be such shameless rules!

This bad habit must be abolished!

then--

Zhang Feng chose to compromise.

In life, there are always things that are unavoidable.

The current self represents the privileged class, so I can't kill myself.

As the saying goes, nothing is perfect without rules.

Therefore, some rules still have to be followed, and Zhang Feng, as a nobleman, must lead by example!

"Please, sir, please move to the castle."

Caroline lowered her eyes, her cold voice trembling slightly.

"Cough, it's easy to talk, easy to talk, first tell me how Hongye City is doing now, sit down and talk."

Zhang Feng coughed twice. He remembered that the situation in Hongye City seemed to be not very good three days ago. He wondered if Caroline and the others had made any adjustments in the past three days.

Caroline sat beside Zhang Feng respectfully, and when she mentioned Hongye City, her tone was a little sad.

"Red Leaf City still can't get out of the predicament. I issued a law before, stipulating that each person can only eat one meal a day—"

"Ahem, what are you talking about? You can only eat once a day, or is it the law?"

Zhang Feng almost choked on his saliva. What kind of strange law is this? As a citizen of a food-rich country, Zhang Feng feels that three meals a day are a bit short. If he is not afraid of gaining weight, he would be willing to eat five meals a day.

"Those civilians have no voice of opposition?"

"Almost none. The main reason is that they don't have much food in storage, and our City Lord's Mansion can't distribute food. They just want to eat two meals a day and there is no food..."

Zhang Feng was a little bit pained, and then asked:

"Then do you have any plans, or ideas?"

After all, Zhang Feng has only been in this world for a few days. Although he has some ideas about the situation in Hongye City, he may be unacceptable. It may be better if he can combine the ideas of these local people.

"What our Red Leaf City needs most at the moment is food, and some big merchants in the city may have food in their hands, or they have channels to get food. If you are willing to borrow some money from them as a nobleman, Hongye City's The situation will be much better, of course, if they are willing to borrow."

"You should have tried this method? Didn't work?"

Zhang Feng believed that if those businessmen were not stupid, they would definitely not lend food to Caroline, because they did not see the benefits, and the future of Hongye City is not good.

And even if he borrowed food, he didn't think Hongye City would be able to tide over the difficulties.

Zhang Feng took a brief look just now. Although he is only a baron with a fief, the fief is not small.

Hongye City is currently the most prosperous place in his territory. Apart from Hongye City, there are many other villages in Zhang Feng's territory, dedicated to Zhang Feng.

A village has as few as 10 or 20 people, and as many as hundreds of people. These people don’t seem to have much to do with Hongye City now, but part of their food comes from Hongye City. not good.

"Huh? How do you know? It's true that no one wants to lend us a loan, but I think they will give you face if you go."

Caroline was a little surprised. She only talked to those big businessmen yesterday, and she didn't expect Zhang Feng to guess it. But she thinks that she is not the city lord after all, if Zhang Feng goes, those businessmen will definitely not perfunctory him.

However, Zhang Feng waved his hand. As a nobleman, he would not do such a low-level thing. Even if it was a talk, they had to take the initiative to talk.

Zhang Feng already had some thoughts in his mind, but he asked again:

"Is there any other way besides this?"

"I think it's possible to gather soldiers and go hunting in the black market forest,

If a certain amount of prey can be caught, the situation in Hongye City will also be eased. "

"So have you assembled?"

"Uh, no, because the Blackstone Forest is your private property, and soldiers can go hunting only with your consent. And..."

"And what?"

Zhang Feng estimated that it was another bad news.

"We don't have many soldiers in Hongye City. Originally, we had 6 knights and 120 soldiers in Hongye City, but because the former city officials and four other knights took away the food and a large number of soldiers that had been stored for more than half a year, now we only have Two knights and twenty soldiers..."

Caroline's tone was a little ashamed. If she had known that these white-eyed wolves would leave and take so many things with them, she would never have let them leave so easily. She is also partly responsible for the current situation in Hongye City.

"Two knights, 20 soldiers, can they hold Red Leaf City?"

Zhang Feng asked with some doubts.

After all, Hongye City is his old base camp. In this era, conflicts between forces are very common. There are conflicts between nobles and nobles, between nobles and horse thieves, and even between nobles from their own country and soldiers from other countries.

The easiest way to measure the strength of a power is to see how many knights and soldiers the opponent has.

"Hongye City can barely hold on..."

Before Caroline finished speaking, Zhang Feng already knew what she meant. If he wanted to go hunting in the black market forest, Hongye City would be empty. This risk.

Besides, hunting is more or less an uncertain event. If the castle is occupied by someone without killing any of the prey, Zhang Feng will be in a big loss. After all, he bought it with a bottle of beer and a few compressed biscuits. !

"This method has been put on hold for the time being, is there anything else?"

Zhang Feng is still looking forward to hunting. After all, life is so big, and he has seen it in TV dramas. He really wants to experience it, but now is obviously not the time.

"Seeking help from other nobles is also a way, but I think it's better to count on those cunning businessmen to find out..."

"Or ask the superior lord for help, but we don't have a superior lord, we only obey the king. Because our Hongye City is too remote, it has been independent many years ago, and no big nobles and lords are willing Want our oil bottle..."

Well, this Hongye City is still an autonomous region!

"Then why don't you ask the king for help?"

"We are too far away from the king's capital. Even if the king agrees to rescue us, by the time they arrive, winter will be gone..."

"Well, Hongye City is really bad."

"That's all I can think of for now..."

Caroline blushed slightly, and answered with some embarrassment. In fact, these were the results of discussions between him, Knight Marlowe, and Ms. Blanche.

"The problem of food shortage is not only due to some unexpected reasons, but the main reason is that Hongye City has no money, so you don't think about making money?"

If there are enough gold coins, what food cannot be bought?

"Make money? Do you mean raise taxes?"

Caroline was taken aback. In her impression, the way nobles make money is nothing more than war and taxation. The current Red Leaf City must not be able to compete with others for territory, so the only thing left is taxation.

She was afraid that Zhang Feng would raise taxes, so she hurriedly stopped him somewhat tactfully.

"Our civilians in Hongye City are already living a very difficult life. If the tax is raised again, I am afraid they would rather become refugees than stay in Hongye City..."
