Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"It's just Mina, do you want to keep supporting your companions?" Liu Feng looked at the two girls with a serious face.

"This..." Mina hesitated a bit, thinking of her salary, she seemed unable to support too many companions.

An Li couldn't help but patted her forehead, and said hastily, "Master Liu Feng, what can I do for you?"

"No...you misunderstood, although I know that you care about your companions, but..."

Liu Feng got up, came to the window, looked at the bustling work outside, and said lightly, "But, have you thought about it? Everyone has their own way of life, and they can't be raised by you for a lifetime. If you want to, Nor does their self-esteem."

"What if, one day, they leave you? What will they do? It's not a good thing to protect too well."

An Li thought for a while, and immediately understood the reason, "Master Liu Feng, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Feng turned around, supported the chair and said, "Let them be self-reliant, this is the best for them."

An Li and Mina looked at each other. They hadn't thought about this problem at all before. The companions in the team were both responsible for gathering and managing them.

"Master Liu Feng, they can't do without the two of us." An Li said bitterly. She also knew the seriousness of the problem. Her companions were so well protected by the two of them.

"Also, Mr. Liu Feng, my companions, don't know how to do anything, they only have a lot of energy and eat a lot..." Anli Barabara said.

The more Liu Feng listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he said with a smile, "Strength is enough, I need many strong people to help me work."

Under the puzzled eyes of An Li and Mina, Liu Feng pointed to the people working outside the window and said, "Let them help me work, I will pay them a salary, as long as they work hard, they can support themselves."

This is Liu Feng's first attempt. If he wants the orcs to coexist peacefully with the human race, this step must be taken.

After a while, An Li said seriously, "Won't those human races hate us? Moreover, they will capture us orcs as slaves. In this way, we don't need to be paid at all."

She had seen too many cases of orc abuse.

"If you don't try it, you will never know the result. I will help you solve your problem." Liu Feng smiled confidently.

Chapter 0041 self righteous Tori.

Tori is the youngest son of the city lord of Beifeng City, and also the envoy to Xiyang City this time. He is a big fat man, at least one hundred and seventy to eighty catties, and he is short, making him look like a meatball.

He didn't really want to come, if his father didn't drive him here, he would never come to this barren Xiyang City.

Look at those people, they are actually demolishing houses. The autumn harvest is not far away. After the autumn harvest, winter will begin in less than half a month, and the weather will suddenly enter the cold winter. Now demolishing houses—I am afraid they have some brain problems.

It takes seven or eight days to build a house, even if it is made of wood, let alone a house with earth walls or wooden bricks.

Tori shook his head. For the unmasked Xiyang City Lord, he had already labeled him as a foolish nobleman.

He was worried about the task his father entrusted to him. No, Tori suddenly thought about the information about the new city lord of Xiyang City. Maybe there is no need to worry, the task should be completed soon.

According to intelligence, Carter, the former owner of Xiyang City, packaged the title and territory together and sold them to a businessman named Liu Feng. He bought the title and territory at a high price with goods worth 30 gold coins.

Carter's method is no secret among the nearby aristocratic circles, and there are really a few nobles who have learned this method.

Sell ​​the title territory, then do things secretly, and then buy back the title and territory at a low price, and even kill the other party, and then get back the title territory.

Tori now believes that Baron Liu Feng should be a pauper now, and he bought so much wheat this time that he might not be able to maintain his noble life.

If he expresses his willingness to subsidize the other party, no, to make some deals, and believes that the other party will quickly agree to his request, then he can immediately return to North Wind City.

Tori felt heartache when he thought of the wheat that was given to Xiyang City, and he blamed his father for being too generous. As for the nobles in this barren place, if you give them anything, they should be able to get rid of it.

"The young master has been waiting for almost a quarter of an hour. The other party is too rude." Tori's guard said a little unhappy.

Tori, who was being carried by several guards, looked at the castle with the closed gate, his face darkened. He was reminded by the guards that he had indeed been waiting at the gate for a quarter of an hour.

"I'm rude, I'm very rude. A merchant is a merchant. Even if he becomes an aristocrat, he will still be a merchant aristocrat who smells like copper. He doesn't have any aristocratic etiquette."

Tori is proud. After his family bought the noble title of Northwind City from his grandfather, after several generations of development, he has become a pure nobleman, no longer a greedy and rude businessman.

Buying and selling aristocratic titles is quite normal for the land in the west. In this barren land, real nobles and royal power rarely take care of this side.

Of course, only the titles of baron and viscount are allowed to be bought and sold, and if they are higher, they will be awarded royal honors.

Just when Tori was getting impatient, the gate of the castle opened, and Niu Ben was wearing the butler uniform that Liu Feng brought from the other side of the earth. It was a reformed Hanfu without wide sleeves.

"Mr. Tory, welcome to Xiyang City." Niu Ben said with perfect etiquette, neither humble nor overbearing.

Tori blinked his eyes, scanned the details of Niu Ben's clothes, and was a little surprised. This is Liu Feng, the lord of Xiyang City? The clothes and clothing on this body are more expensive than him.

Also, didn't Liu Feng say that he was only about twenty years old? Why are you so old?

It seems that Tori mistook Niu Ben for Liu Feng.

"Baron Liu Feng, I'm very happy to come to Xiyang City." Tori quickly asked the guards to let him down, and came to Niu Ben to salute.

"Well……"

Niu Ben was a little dumbfounded. The other party had admitted the wrong person. There was a strange flash in his eyes, and he said with an unchanged expression, "Mr. Tory, the young master has ordered someone to prepare refreshments, please come with me."

"Master?? Cough cough..." Tori was not stupid, and immediately knew from Niu Ben's words that he was ashamed, and even his master could admit his mistake.

Niu Ben turned his head to lead the way, and couldn't help curling his lips. What kind of identity does this short fat man think he is? How could the young master lower himself to meet him.

He also said that after he was a nobleman, even a housekeeper could recognize him as the young master, so it was no big deal if he wanted to be a nobleman in Beifeng City.

Tori's face was a little ugly. If he knew the kind of nobleman that Niu Ben thought of him as worthless, he might kill someone.

Along the way, Tori found that the castle was not simple, and many facilities inside were prepared for war.

In the living room, Tori sat on the second seat, staring blankly at the refreshments on the table.

"Is this refreshment?"

A beautiful ceramic plate with several small and delicate pastries, made by the maid.

If it was Nicole, it would only be more delicate if May made it, but the cakes made by Nicole would only be eaten by the young master.

"Yes, Mr. Tory, please take it easy, the young master still has some business to deal with, and he will be here soon."

Niu Ben suppressed his laughter. He was afraid that he would laugh out loud when he saw Toli's "bumpkin" again, and left the living room in a hurry.

"How could it be a pastry? This is too beautiful." Tori carefully picked up the pastry and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.

"This smell... absolutely amazing!"

Tori found that the pastries he had eaten before were not as good as one-thousandth of the pastries here, and they were as unpalatable as shit.

"Wow! This taste is completely different."

"Huh? This smells so good, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. It's simply delicious in the world."
