Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"boom!"

The study door was closed, and Mina stood in the corridor, her cheeks were flushed, her blue eyes were misty, and her upper lip was pursed.

Mina didn't know what happened to herself tonight, but she actually asked the young master what kind of woman he would marry as his wife. She knew the answer to this question.

Of course a noble will marry a noble girl as his wife, even if it is different, he will also marry a commoner girl, such as a beautiful and smart girl like Nicole.

It's not a cat orc like her, a person with no special skills, who can only kill people and likes to eat polished rice porridge, even if she is very beautiful.

Nobles would never marry a beastman as a wife. None of the nobles of the human race had ever married a beastman girl. Whoever married might be laughed at by the nobles all over the world.

Ke Mina still asked, she had an extravagant hope in her heart, she was not qualified to ask, but she couldn't hold back in the end.

Now, Mina felt lucky that she had asked, and the young master's answer was beyond her expectations, but it was also the answer she wanted the most in her heart.

"Maybe I'll marry an orc!" Mina showed a captivating smile, and skipped away, chanting this sentence all the time.

Even if it was a lie, Mina could be happy for many days, but she knew that the young master would not lie to her.

Even if the young master would not marry her, she decided not to leave the young master's side.

As long as you can be with him, isn't this also a kind of happiness?

Chapter 0072 rampant salt merchants.

In the early morning, the castle is lively again in the early morning.

As for the death of Carter and others, no one cared. The corpse was taken away for disposal, and the five glasses were also taken back.

Liu Feng directly threw the glass to the big market. There was an auction that hadn't opened yet. He would make a big move in spring tomorrow, and that auction was one of them.

He will take out some things at the auction, and those big merchants and nobles will drop a lot of gold coins there frantically.

Now, Liu Feng is worried about the population problem. The development of the territory has reached a bottleneck, that is, the population is too small, and building a house alone will take away two-thirds of the people.

Not to mention that it will be time for wheat harvest in a few days. After the wheat harvest, it will enter a long winter, which is also something he has to consider.

Are you going to be idle in winter? No, don't think about it, it is impossible to be idle, and it is impossible to be idle for a lifetime.

In this way, as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, Liu Feng was thinking about many issues, including the development direction of Xiyang City.

I don't know why, but he woke up earlier today, around seven o'clock, maybe it was Mina's question last night that made him a little concerned.

"Kagji!"

The door was pushed open, and Nicole walked in lightly, but she happened to meet Liu Feng's black eyes, which made her stunned for a second.

"Phew...Young master, you are awake, I thought you were going to be nine o'clock."

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. She came in because she wanted to take her clothes out to bask in the sun. After all, after winter, drying clothes would be a luxury.

The people in the castle now use the watches brought by Liu Feng to keep time.

Liu Feng brought a lot of mechanical watches, but not everyone had them, only a few close ones had them, and they all hid them carefully for fear of being seen.

For them, this is simply a fetish, a fetish that can accurately divide time. You must know that people in this era look at the time or the sky, or nobles use candles as a way of timing.

"Are Mina and the others awake?" Liu Feng asked casually.

"No, I don't know what happened today. Mina and Anli haven't woken up yet." Nicole said in surprise.

Usually, Mina and Anli would get up very early in the morning, Mina was exercising, and Anli was helping with official duties.

Not to mention, after having An Li, Liu Feng got away from tedious official duties, some unimportant things. He left it to An Li to handle it, and it was handled very well.

"Really?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. Could it be that he didn't answer the question last night well?

Whether he is on the other side of the earth or here, he is a novice who has never been in a relationship, but he still has a basic emotional intelligence. He thinks that the answer last night is no problem, and it is also an answer based on his heart.

Marrying a cat-eared girl, fox-eared girl, etc. seems to be no problem at all. He doesn't reject it, on the contrary, he is a little excited.

Under the service of Nicole, Liu Feng came to the dining room, just in time to see Mina and An Li who were yawning, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.

"Morning!" Liu Feng greeted.

"Morning...morning!" Mina responded with a stiff body and flushed face.

"Morning~~Aha~~~" An Li replied lazily, and yawned long with her small mouth open, her lips could be hung with soy sauce.

An Li glared at Mina resentfully. This mutated catwoman was so nervous last night that she chatted with her all night. Even if she was sleepy, she wouldn't let her sleep.

Well, Liu Feng's answer was no problem at all, which caused Mina to suffer from insomnia last night, as if she was so excited that she was on hormones.

When Mina saw Liu Feng, she thought of the fantasy of last night. She was wearing a wedding dress, sitting on a tall horse, and was solemnly married by Liu Feng.

The atmosphere of the breakfast was a bit weird. Mina's face was blushing, the spoon was almost stuffed up her nose, and she giggled from time to time.

Enri's eyes widened. She wondered if Mina was broken. She had seen this foolish look on an axe before.

"Master, there will be no salt in the kitchen."

While eating breakfast, Nicole suddenly said that the salt she was talking about was the kind of snow salt that the young master brought from his hometown.

The salt of this era is not white, but gray. The taste of salt is not only salty, but also bitter.

"I'll go to the inner library to get it later that night." Liu Feng nodded. After he tasted the salt of this era once, he stopped eating it.

Suddenly, he remembered that salt in this era was very expensive. He didn't know about other places, but in Xiyang City, a catty of salt cost dozens of copper coins.

Common people use a catty of salt for several months, but without salt, how can they have strength.

"Is there a salt shop over there at the big market?" Liu Feng raised his head and asked An Li.

"No, those salt merchants are unwilling to pay taxes." An Li said in a deep voice.

She remembered the servant's report, those salt merchants seemed to be quite crazy, and thought that Xiyang City could not do without them.

The salt in Xiyang City was imported from faraway places, even from several nearby cities.

And to enter the big market, you have to pay taxes. Taxes are calculated according to income. The higher the income, the more taxes you pay.

For example, salt merchants are simply money-grabbing businesses, and the taxes they have to pay are exaggerated, so they don't want to go to the big market to be slaughtered.

"Nicole, is there a salt mine near us?" Liu Feng asked.

"Salt mine? Are there mines for salt?" Nicole was confused, she blinked and stared at Liu Feng.

"Master, did you make a mistake? All the salt comes from the sea." An Li said, and reached out to take a piece of pastry from Mina's plate.
