Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Damn it, why is it gone? Is this... the plate edible?"

"Crack!!!"

Chapter 0042 There is a good show tonight.

When Liu Feng came to the living room, he looked at Tori's bloody mouth, his eyelids twitched, thinking of the report Niu Ben gave him just now, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

"Mr. Tory, please sit down."

Liu Feng beckoned Tori, who had stood up and saluted, to sit down, and ordered him to serve more refreshments.

"Thank you Baron Liu Feng!" Tori performed another courtesy, and then sat down slowly, accidentally pulling the corner of his mouth, causing his face to tremble in pain.

Tori eagerly looked at the exquisite pastries on the table, resisting the urge to do it, he couldn't lose the face of the nobles of North Wind City.

"This time, I would like to thank Beifeng City for its generosity and willingness to open up the wheat for us to buy." Liu Feng took a sip of the teacup, and his behavior became more and more noble.

"This is a small matter of mutual benefit, please don't take Baron Liu Feng to heart." Tori said seriously.

Now he dare not underestimate this nobleman Liu Feng at all. From the moment he entered the castle to now, all the details show that the other party's current living standard is very superior, at least dozens of times better than the nobles of Beifeng City.

As for the life of the common people, Tori doesn't care at all. Isn't the untouchables just to support their nobles?

Think about the housekeeper named Niu Ben, who wears better clothes than him, and Baron Liu Feng's clothes are even more noble, and the style is never seen before.

"Then, Mr. Tory, is there any business for you this time?"

Liu Feng got straight to the point, he didn't have time to quibble, but there was a good show to watch tonight, some preparations in advance, he had to go through them himself.

The main event came, and Tori tried to sit up straight. Of course, in Liu Feng's view, his whole body was waist.

"Baron Liu Feng, my lord father, the Lord of Beifeng City, hopes that you can open up the fur business in Xiyang City."

Before Liu Feng could reply, Tori continued, "Of course, we in North Wind City will continue to open up the sale of wheat for you. The wheat in our North Wind City has already piled up like a mountain, which can be consumed for two years."

North Wind City is a city close to the river, so there are many fleets, and they often go to other cities for trade. Wheat is the staple food of this world, and it is also one of the most important materials.

Liu Feng believed that there could be two years of wheat in Beifeng City. It was just the fur business, which reminded him of one thing, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Oh? Fur trading, it's not a big problem, I can agree."

Liu Feng agreed. In addition to keeping warm and making clothes, the most important thing is that it can be made into leather armor, leather armor for war.

Xiyang City is one of the cities closest to the Forbidden Mountains. There is nothing else in the Forbidden Mountains, but there are many wild beasts.

The hunters in the territory hunt many wild animals every year, and they will be skinned and sold, and the fur will be tanned and sold at a high price.

"Really?" Tori was stunned. He thought it would take some price to get the other party to agree, but he didn't expect to agree so easily.

"Mr. Tory, there is nothing else in Xiyang City, but there are some furs, which can generate income for the citizens. This is a good thing."

Liu Feng smiled lightly, the most important thing he didn't say was that he didn't like leather armor at all. He already had steel, so there was no need to make leather armor that was not durable.

Moreover, from this point, he also saw that the situation in Beifeng City was not optimistic, and he would come directly to buy furs, like most nobles who secretly bought military supplies.

Tori frowned. He wondered if there was a conspiracy in it. As long as there are some knowledgeable nobles, even businessmen, they all know the importance of fur.

No matter which city it is, the sale of fur in large quantities is prohibited. In some cities, the sale and purchase of fur is directly prohibited, and all of them are taken away by the city lord himself.

Of course, the fur mentioned here is the kind of fur that can be made into leather armor, such as wild boar skin, rhinoceros skin and so on.

"Baron Liu Feng, do you have any requests?" Tori could only think of this, and the other party had requests.

"Oh?" Liu Feng was slightly taken aback, and then the corners of his mouth raised, "Of course, we need more wheat in Xiyang City, and even some cattle, sheep, horses, etc. Of course, just give some cubs."

"That's all??" Tori was even more confused. He didn't quite understand such a request.

Young horses are understandable, and they can be war horses when they grow up, but cattle and sheep are all meat animals that are killed for meat.

How long does it take to raise a cow for a few months, and then kill and peel it to make armor? It's better to buy other furs, such as wild boar skins.

The fur of sheep is a good fur to keep warm, but the meat is too fishy, ​​and only those untouchables like to eat it.

"Yes, that's all!"

As far as Liu Feng learned, they were all people who thought like Tori, even Niu Ben, who said that beef was not very tasty.

So he almost died laughing, the cows are actually raised as pigs to eat meat, and then they want the fur.

Liu Feng thinks about the level of this period, they will do this, and he understands that the common people don't have any horses or cattle, only manual planting.

In the era when iron tools were not widely used, many people planted the land with hoes made of stones, and opened up wasteland one by one. The yield of wheat planted in that way was of course terribly low. Can people not starve to death?

In Liu Feng's territory, there is no shortage of furs, but these three animals are lacking, not to mention cattle. There are only some inland.

He wants to put a ring on the ox, then make it into a farm ox, then get out the plow, add an iron hoe, and bring some improved seeds from the earth.

Next year, Liu Feng's territory will be able to say goodbye to the famine completely, and there will be no need to buy wheat from Beifeng City.

Chapter 0043 Sworn to the death to complete the task.

"Baron Liu Feng, may I ask how many cattle, sheep and horses you want?" Tori asked quickly, it was too simple for him to agree to any number of such requests.

"One hundred cows, two hundred horses, and three hundred sheep." Liu Feng slowly reported a number.

"The number of these cows is too much, and Beifeng City can only find thirty cows after searching all over."

Tori wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although the cow is a meat animal, its fur is top-notch, and many rich nobles keep it as treasure.

For example, his father raised 20 cows, and he had to go to another city to find 10 more cows.

"Only thirty cows? The number of horses needs to be three hundred, and the number of sheep needs to be five hundred." Liu Feng doubled the number with a smile on his lips.

Tori stared blankly at Liu Feng, why did the number increase more and more, using his honorific title, and said eagerly, "Lord Liu Feng, there are too many horses, we don't have that many horses in Beifeng City, even half of them It's hard to put together."

"Oh!" Liu Feng's smile disappeared, and he said lightly, "Then how many cattle, horses and sheep can you give?"

Tori's heart sank, and after a little thought, he reported a number, "Thirty cows, one hundred and twenty horses, and three hundred sheep."

"Yes!" Liu Feng nodded in agreement.

"Ah?" Tori was stunned again, agreed so simply? He also made a bunch of excuses.

In fact, such a number has already exceeded Liu Feng's estimate, and it will be difficult to raise any more.

After he grows up, he doesn't need to bring steaks from the other side of the earth, he can eat beef and mutton here.

As for horses, they are really one of the most precious animals in this era. One hundred and twenty horses can be brought. Although they are only young horses, they are beyond imagination. It also proves that Beifeng City is not optimistic.
