Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

In the era when linen clothes can be used as bride price, it also represents a person's face. Whoever can buy new clothes is the envy of the neighbors.

Chapter 0088 the emissary of Ritual Horse City.

Just as Liu Feng was thinking about how to generate income for Xiyang City, a small boat docked at the pier of Xiyang City.

"Why did Baron Omar take a fancy to this dilapidated place?"

Ryan, the envoy of Ritmema City, stood on the boat, frowning at the dilapidated docks, especially some wooden platforms that had collapsed.

Ryan is an unpopular civil servant in the baronial territory of Omar, and one of the local quasi-nobles. He used to be a knight, but now he is driven by Omar to become a civil servant.

The knights of this era are not nobles, but a class between commoners and nobles. They are also jokingly called quasi-nobles, which is what many commoners yearn for.

As long as a knight makes great achievements, he is likely to become a nobleman, or like Liu Feng, he can buy a baronship in the west.

But few knights have savings. For example, Ryan owns all his property and only owns a dozen silver coins, which he saved after 20 years of hard work.

The reason why Ryan was driven to Xiyang City was because he heard that there were major changes in Xiyang City, so he was asked to take a look, or to try it out.

This is a hard job. For Ryan, who is going to get married, it is definitely a hard job. He was not welcomed by Baron Omar, and he was stripped of his title of knight and changed to a clerk to deal with the noisy civilian disputes in the territory.

"It seems that we will not be able to catch up with the wedding this time. I hope Lizao won't blame me." Ryan is not in a good mood. Anyone who is called to go on a business trip before getting married should be in a good mood to meet his lover.

He has never been integrated into the inner circle of Baron Omar, only on the periphery, no, not even into the outer circle, he is just an ordinary clerk with a salary.

Before Baron Omar came, he was a well-known knight in Lime Horse City, but now he is only a clerk doing chores. Is it because I refuted the unreliable things he did to Baron Omar?

"My lord, are you going to enter Xiyang City now?" the servant asked courteously from the side.

He didn't know why his master was in a daze. He only knew that his master was very kind to him. That Baron Omar had been suppressing his master. Everyone in Lime City knew that Knight Lane was too upright.

"Let's go, Xianjin City, this remote town, where even traveling merchants seldom come here for a year, actually said that there is a big change."

Ryan shook his head. He didn't know what the person who spread the news was thinking, or whether Baron Omar deliberately suppressed him and wanted to drive him out of Limema City.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Ryan turned his head to look, and saw four or five carriages approaching the pier.

"call……"

The coachman stopped the carriage, Ying Ya jumped out of the carriage, and shouted politely, "Everyone, help unload the salt, and I will give you two extra steel coins."

"Can!"

Those coachmen hurriedly helped to carry the salt. For them, this was extra income and they didn't have to hand it over to the City Lord's Mansion.

Ryan stared blankly at this scene, why so much salt was transported from Xiyang City? Could it be that common people can't even buy salt?

Curious, Ryan came to Ying Ya and asked, "Excuse me, why did you transport all the salt away?"

"Are you from out of town?" Ying Ya smiled wryly.

"Yes, I just came today!"

"You will know when you go to Xiyang City." Ying Ya said dejectedly, it was already a sad thing, why mention it again.

Ryan looked at Yingya walking away, confused. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Xiyang City, with a little curiosity in his eyes. Could it be that the nobles of Xiyang City are too cruel? Even the salt merchants can't stay?

"Let's go!" Ryan walked towards Xiyang City with his servants.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they saw the wheat fields on both sides of the road and couldn't help nodding.

"The wheat is growing very well, and it looks like it can be harvested in four or five days." Ryan said with a smile. Anyone who sees a wheat field will be very happy.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The sound of horseshoes sounded, Ryan and the two hurriedly hid by the roadside, and what they saw were the carriages transporting salt.

Far away, before Ryan could speak, a coachman shouted, "Two foreign visitors, do you want to take a carriage?"

Ryan was taken aback, are the people in Xiyang City so hospitable? He actually asked passers-by if he wanted to take a carriage?

"Yes!" Ryan quickly responded, there is still a distance from Xiyang City.

The coachman stopped the carriage and said with a smile on his face, "Here we are in Xiyang City. Because we are out of the city, one person wants three steel coins. If you want, come up!"

The city lord said that when you pick up foreign guests, you must first explain clearly, otherwise you will think that you are picking them up out of good intentions.

"Steel coin? What is this?" Ryan froze for a moment, then asked with a frown, "Did you say something wrong? Is it a copper coin?"

"Hey, are you robbing? Will it cost three copper coins to drive a person to Xiyang City?" The servant was dissatisfied when he heard that. His monthly salary was only 60 copper coins, which was only after working with the master for so many years.

"No, guests, you have misunderstood. It is a steel coin. One copper coin can be exchanged for ten steel coins. It is a new currency invented by the city lord."

When the coachman mentioned the city lord, his nostrils were raised a bit. The common people in Xiyang City like steel coins the most, because they can buy many things and are very convenient to use.

"It turned out to be like this?" Ryan's eyes widened. This was something he never expected. He quickly took out a copper coin and asked, "Can I exchange it for steel coins?"

"Of course, you guys come up first." The coachman urged, he had to go back to report, and then let the horse rest for half an hour.

Ryan led the servant into the carriage, handed over a copper coin, and retrieved four steel coins.

"This is the steel coin?" Ryan held a steel coin and observed it carefully.

The number 1 on it was a symbol he hadn't seen before, but he recognized the word 'corner'. This was the front of the steel coin, and on the back was a beautiful picture of ears of wheat.

"hiss……"

Ryan took a deep breath. This coinage technology is already more powerful than the kingdom's coinage technology.

Now he is more and more curious about the situation in Xiyang City, especially the city owner who can invent this steel coin.

"Coachman, are you not afraid that your master will find out if you pick up passengers halfway like this?" The servant sat beside the coachman and asked in a low voice.

"Why are you afraid? We are in the business of carrying passengers." The coachman shook his head amusedly. He has carried many people who asked such questions in the past few days.

It's really rare and strange, and now all the children in Xiyang City know that there are horse-drawn carriages they can ride in, and they can go anywhere in Xiyang City for just two steel coins.

Chapter 0089 intelligence error.

Ryan also heard the servant's question, which made him frown. The business of using a carriage to carry people, plus the steel coins in his hand, the combination of the two is really a good business. Can you think of this The idea man, what a genius.

Along the way, Ryan could see many civilians carrying logs and stones, all with smiles on their faces.

Ryan can only see this kind of smile when the common people have a good harvest, but now everyone is working, but he is really surprised to see such a smile.

That's what made Ryan more curious, and he didn't have any resentment from the beginning. After all, staying in Ritual Horse City is also crowded out by others, so it's good to go out to relax.
