Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord
Chapter 40
It never occurred to him that he had already controlled the wheat business, causing Carter to lose a lot of income. Omar's temperament is: my fault is not my fault, but the fault of others is the fault.
"Lord Omar, that Carter mentioned before, let us rob Beifeng City and take Xiyang City by the way," the knight reminded.
Omar was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Hahahaha... Interesting, that old man Carter is a good candidate to be a horse thief, so cruel."
How does the knight feel that these words are a bit self-deprecating? Others don't know that, as Baron Omar's confidant, he knows that among the dozen or so cities around here, the biggest horse thief was founded by Baron Omar.
"Lord Omar, is the plan still going on as before?" the knight lowered his voice and asked for instructions.
"Well! The plan remains the same, let them sneak in as soon as possible, those orcs will give me a good look, if anyone makes trouble, I will starve him for two days, and they will be obedient."
Omar raised his hand and clenched it into the void, his eyes glowed with fiery light, "This year, I must collect five hundred gold coins. I don't want to stay in this remote place anymore. I want to go back to the inland."
"yes!"
The knights didn't like the western land very much either, it was too barren, especially in winter, when the weather was cold, and they could only stay indoors all day, and they would stay for four months.
Baron Omar, as the youngest son of the earl, is also the most naughty son. His father drove him to this land in the west, asking him to return to the earl's mansion and participate in the earldom as long as he can earn 500 gold coins a year. heir qualifications.
The annual income of the baron's territory is about 100 gold coins, while that of the viscount's territory is only more than 500 gold coins a year. This is the standard in the inland side. In the west, minus two-thirds is the real income.
That is to say, the baronial territory in the west land only has more than 30 gold coins a year. For Omar who is eager to go back to the inland, it is impossible to collect 500 gold coins in this barren territory, so Can only find another way out.
What gets gold coins the fastest? Of course it was to rob other people's gold coins. Last year, Baron Omar got 200 gold coins. This year he planned to grab 300 gold coins.
"My elder brother, if I go back with five hundred gold coins, will you, the viscount, look ugly?"
Omar smiled coldly. If his elder brother hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have been driven to the west, but he still wanted to go to the capital to pursue the daughters of dukes, or princesses, or even princesses.
The knight knew that Baron Omar was about to enter his fantasy again, so he quickly interrupted, "Lord Omar, do you want your subordinates to visit that Xiyang City?"
"No, don't waste manpower in that small place, just wait until Beifeng City is taken down, and then send some people to kill him." Omar said disdainfully, a remote town, he didn't care at all.
"clear!"

The yellow leaves in autumn are trembling, and under the sweeping of the autumn wind, a naked tree is left behind.
In the past few days, Liu Feng got up later and later. From getting up at six o'clock in the morning before, he didn't get up until nine o'clock now.
"Are you still used to life in the castle?"
Liu Feng asked with concern, stretching out his hand to catch a fallen leaf, looking at the bare forest in front, it must be considered a different kind of beauty.
"Very satisfied, very fulfilling." An Li followed behind with a notepad in her arms, her expression full of smiles.
After breakfast, she would follow the young master out to inspect, or to put it more appropriately, take a walk. She had never imagined such a life before.
"The cold winter is getting closer and closer. This year, there should be no need to hide in a cave to survive the cold winter."
Mina sighed, playing with the saber nimbly with her fingers, piercing the fallen leaves from time to time. Her originally thin body has slowly grown flesh.
"Well, don't worry, everyone doesn't have to endure the cold winter this year." Liu Feng handed the fallen leaves to An Li, and said with a light smile, "Put them on the notepad, and I'll make them into bookmarks when I go back."
"Yeah!" An Li pinched the fallen leaves and looked at the texture on them. This was the first time she saw fallen leaves and felt so beautiful.
In the past, when they saw fallen leaves, they knew that winter was coming, which meant that they would be hungry for several months, relying on the dried fruits stored in autumn to survive the long cold winter.
"Let's go, go and see if the thing I want has been built." Liu Feng changed the subject, and it would be a bit sad to continue talking.
When he was in the orphanage, he also suffered from starvation, and his food was robbed by others. The world is impermanent, and he is now a nobleman.
And those orphans who robbed him of food, in that prison window this year, do you know how they are doing? It should be good, after all, there are free meals, and occasionally - picking up soap? ? ?
"Today is a good day..."
Liu Feng didn't know why he was suddenly a little happy, and sang happily.
Mina and An Li looked at each other in blank dismay. Neither of them had heard of this weird singing voice. They guessed it should be a song from the young master's hometown.
However, it was very pleasant to hear, and the two also learned to hum.
The arrival of Liu Feng from the Scientific Research Department made them all excited. Everyone knew that their dinner tonight would be richer as soon as Mr. Liu Feng came.
"Is what I want built?" Liu Feng asked, winter is coming, and he has to make some preparations.
"My lord, I have tried two styles, and now I will move them here for you to see." The person in charge immediately ran away and did it himself.
Soon, two things were placed in front of Liu Feng. They were two stoves, coal-burning stoves.
What Liu Feng focused on was the stove made of ceramics, and the other one was made of iron, which was not much different from the design he gave.
"How long can this ceramic stove last if it burns coal?"
His current steel output is still too small. After all, there are few people mining, and the output cannot increase. If you can save a little, you can save it. Iron stoves still have to wait for the increase in steel output before they can be popularized.
Moreover, stoves made of steel are also expensive. In this period, iron is a rare resource. If the iron stoves are sold, the poor will dare to sell them at a high price in a few days to those knights who lack iron to make armor.
"My lord, the ceramic stove can last for ten days and half a month without breaking. If it is thicker, it will last longer."
Liu Feng was very satisfied with this time, "Then let's use this ceramic stove to start firing. I want to see four thousand stoves before the cold winter comes."
"yes!"
"Let the kitchen give you extra meals tonight."
Liu Feng left satisfied. With the stove, the winter will not be so cold. In addition to the newly built house and a kang bed inside, it will be a warm winter this year.
"Master, what's the use of that stove? To light the fire?" An Li asked without knowing what to do, without holding back.
"This is one of the secrets of not being cold in winter. You will know it in winter." Liu Feng smiled mysteriously. No matter how much he explained now, the two of them would not understand.
An Li pouted slightly, causing the corners of Mina's mouth to rise, "Master, are we going to the military camp?"
"Well! Several of your companions have entered the barracks. It has been two days. We have to go and see if they can adapt." Liu Feng nodded. He did not expect that five orcs were willing to join the army.
An Li, a touch of emotion flashed in Mina's eyes, the young master caring so much about her companion warmed their hearts.
The barracks arrived soon, and the three of them came at the right time. The five orcs with axes were carrying large logs and were training.
When Niu Da saw Liu Feng, he ran over immediately, and said with a smile, "Master, they have a good foundation and great strength, and they are good candidates for soldiers."
Liu Feng nodded and asked, "Shouldn't the heavy infantry armor be sent over? How many sets are there?"
"There are twelve sets of heavy armor."
"Very good, get four sets out, let them wear them, let me see the power."
