Otherworld Management Manual

the next day.

Zhang Feng slept until the sun was shining on his buttocks before getting up.

"I'm also big-hearted..."

Seeing the rising sun, Zhang Feng laughed at himself.

Last night, he was worried about being cheated by Pan Xi, and was thinking of a way, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

When I came to the kitchen, I found a fairly clean iron pot, washed it with water, and then boiled a large pot of hot water.

Zhang Feng first poured part of the boiled hot water into another smaller pot, ready to let it cool down, and use it as today's drinking water. Zhang Feng can't drink that kind of sour beer, so it's right to drink more hot water.

Then he poured the rest of the water into the wooden barrel, mixed some cold water and felt that the water temperature was about the same, then stripped naked, jumped into the wooden barrel, and took a good hot bath.

"Comfortable~"

The tension, exhaustion, overwhelm and other negative emotions of the past three days seemed to be swept away. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, listening to the chirping of birds in the trees, especially looking at such a big house, Zhang At this time, Feng felt that it was not so unacceptable to travel here.

After taking a bath, soaked a few compressed biscuits in boiling water, and settled for a simple breakfast. Zhang Feng was going to the market to purchase some supplies.

After all, there wasn't much in the bag, and it might be finished in a day if you let it go, but Zhang Feng felt his gums ache when he thought of the black bread that he saw in the market before that could be used as a weapon.

With the gold coins in his pocket, Zhang Feng was careful all the way for fear of stepping on landmines. Only now did he understand why those ancient Western men loved to wear high heels.

Arriving at Hongye City Market, Zhang Feng felt that there were not as many people in the market today as yesterday, and many stalls were empty.

Speaking of people, Zhang Feng felt that he should hire some servants. After all, in such a big family, it was too deserted for him to be alone. Anyway, now that he had money, he could hire them.

While thinking, Zhang Feng found that there seemed to be a notice posted on the bulletin board in front, surrounded by a group of people.

It is human instinct to watch the excitement, and Zhang Feng is no exception, he ran over in a hurry.

"Baron Charles sells his title, together with the territory and Charles's personal wealth, for only 100 gold coins?"

Can noble titles be sold? And so cheap?

Zhang Feng was a little surprised, subconsciously read out loud.

In fact, 100 gold coins is already a lot, but Zhang Feng still doesn't understand the purchasing power of gold coins in this world. After all, he only used three items to exchange half of the city yesterday.

Almost none of these civilians could read, and they were surprised when they heard Zhang Feng's words.

"How could Baron Charles sell his title?"

"Could it be that he is leaving Hongye City?"

"I can't tell. I heard that Hongye City has been unable to make money for the City Lord's Mansion. Are we really going to give up on us?"

"Could it be fake?"

"It should be true. Both the City Hall and the City Lord's Mansion are stamped, as well as the handprint of Baron Charles."

"This is an opportunity to become a nobleman, but 100 gold coins are too expensive. I doubt that anyone in our Red Leaf City can come up with so many gold coins..."

"I don't even think Lord Charles himself can take it out..."

Listening to these people's discussions, Zhang Feng frowned when he thought of some people leaving in a hurry last night, thinking that these two things should be related.

A shadow suddenly appeared, and Zhang Feng greeted the figure passing by like a hill.

"Mr. Pansy?"

"Ah...Your Excellency Zhang Feng?"

Meeting Zhang Feng here, Pan Xi was a little surprised, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"Good morning."

"Morning... good morning."

Zhang Feng is sure that Pan Xi must have something to hide from him, and he has to find a way to see if he can get something out of it.

"Your Excellency Pansy seems to have something on your mind?"

Zhang Feng pretended to ask casually.

"No no."

Pan Xi waved his hands again and again, but the more this happened, the more Zhang Feng felt that there was something wrong with him.

"You also sold this title of Charles?"

"Uh, no, no, I don't have such great power. It's the City Hall and the City Lord's Mansion. I'm just an errand!"

Zhang Feng rolled his eyes and said:

"I am very interested in the territory here. If you can promise me one condition, I will buy it."

Zhang Feng deliberately did not mention the title, only said that he is interested in the territory, because after all, his character is set as "noble" now, which belongs to those who already have the title, so as not to reveal his secrets. He guessed that as an errand, Pan Xi would definitely get a lot of commission.

Pan Xi struggled for a long time, but he really couldn't resist the temptation of gold coins. Zhang Feng guessed right, if he could sell the title, he could get a large commission.

"Your Excellency Zhang Feng, please tell me."

"Just tell me what happened in Hongye City recently, or what you hid from me. Don't worry, I will never pursue it. Even if you earn my gold coins, I will not pursue it. You know, I don't lack money." gold!"

Zhang Feng looked indifferent.

Pan Xi thought for a while. Anyway, the previous contract has been signed, and Zhang Feng has no way to go back on his word. Now another opportunity to make money must be seized!

So he pulled Zhang Feng to a corner where no one was around, and whispered mysteriously:

"Lord Charles is dead!"

"Ah? Is the sale of your title legal?"

Hearing the news, Zhang Feng was a little surprised.

"Of course, our city hall has complete procedures, please rest assured, I can't cheat a nobleman on the contract!"

"Then why don't you yourself have the title of nobility? Don't you want to become nobility? You can sell it to your own people cheaply!"

Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"Of course not, everyone wants to be a nobleman!"

Pansy organized his language and continued.

"But the situation here is a bit special. First of all, there is only one title of nobility, while there are more than a dozen gentlemen in the city hall, so there is no way to distinguish them.

Then, if you sell it cheaply to your own people, everyone will share less gold coins, and no one is willing to, and if you sell it expensive, no one can afford gold coins!

So in the end they figured out a way to sell the title and territory to other nobles or big businessmen, and then divide the gold coins they got equally. "

There is another thing that Pan Xi didn't say, that is, the current Hongye City will be finished at any time. If you become the lord of Hongye City, you must bring Hongye City back to life, otherwise, if you buy a dead city, the gold coins will be meaningless.

"That's it..."

Zhang Feng touched his chin. He knew that Pan Xi must have something to hide, but he didn't need to ask. The money man took the supplies and left, knowing that the current situation of Hongye City itself is not very good.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Feng doesn't care about these.

He just wanted to buy a title of nobility and experience the feeling of being a real nobility.

"Okay, I bought it!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Pan Xi was agitated. He could get one-tenth of a hundred gold coins! Yesterday's 10 gold coins can be earned and will come!

Although Zhang Feng does not have a hundred gold coins, he has other things.

Back home with Pan Xi, Zhang Feng took out several bottles of beer and a pack of compressed biscuits, and Pan Xi signed the contract with him with bright eyes.

In fact, it was enough for Zhang Feng himself to sign and draw a deposit. Many parts of the contract were filled in, and even Charles himself's fingerprints were included.

However, I noticed a detail. There was a clause in the contract, after Zhang Feng became the lord of Hongye City, Pan Xi was allowed to leave.

Zhang Feng didn't care, and signed happily.

"Dear City Master, happy cooperation!"

Pansy performed a not-so-standard aristocratic salute, presenting the noble medal representing the baron.

"I've become a noble now? It doesn't seem to be any different!"

Zhang Feng didn't feel any shock in his body.

At the same time, in the castle hall.

"Madam, we may be in trouble."
