Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"The last city lord joined the army for only 50 copper coins a month. Is this new city lord rich?"

In this world, if people go to help with work, the average monthly salary is only 40 to 50 copper coins, and most of them join the army with 50 copper coins.

A family of three, with a monthly salary of 60 copper coins, can barely support the family. After all, the coarse wheat in Xiyang City is 2 copper coins per catty, plus wild vegetables, which is barely enough for the whole family to eat.

But now, Liu Feng's monthly recruiting salary is directly as high as 80 copper coins, which is a 30% increase in salary, and many people are immediately moved.

This is one of Liu Feng's strategies. If you spend a lot of money, you will find a brave man.

Chapter 0009 Scary taxes.

What about the others, Buff doesn't know, and doesn't want to know, the document with a salary of 120 copper coins is really too tempting.

He used to be a teacher in Xiyang City, but most of the people in Xiyang City don't have enough to eat, and there is still money to learn to read and study.

Therefore, he lived in poverty, and now he has a job with a high salary of 120 copper coins in front of him, and he is moved.

Buff squeezed out of the crowd, straightened his clothes, and headed for the City Lord's Mansion. He wanted to be the first to apply for the job, so as not to be preempted by others.

Liu Feng was standing inside the gate of the castle. He watched the commotion of the crowd, and couldn't help but chuckled, "It's a good start."

He also saw Buff approaching, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and brought him back to the castle.

Liu Feng sat down in the main seat in the living room, looked at the nervous old book in front of him, and asked, "Are you here to apply for documents?"

"Yes, yes." Buff replied nervously. Could he not be nervous? The young man in front of him is the god of Xiyang City, the only noble city lord.

"Don't be nervous, sit down!" Liu Feng waved his hand, and asked after the other party sat down, "The clerical work is to assist me in managing Xiyang City and matters in the territory."

"Yes!" Buff nodded quickly.

"Tell me about the situation in Xiyang City." Liu Feng said calmly.

"Yes!" Buff stood up quickly, and said everything he knew respectfully.

The more Liu Feng listened, the more he frowned. This time, he frowned so much that a fly could be crushed to death. It was simply shocking.

The entire Xiyang City is basically a slum and a refugee camp, and what makes them become like this is the perverted taxation.

There are hundreds of unscrupulous taxes in Xiyang City, such as the entry fee, which requires a copper coin every time you enter the city.

This caused many people to move out of Xiyang City, or only return to Xiyang City once in a few days. People would rather live in a wheat field than waste a copper coin.

There is also a road tax, a childbirth tax, a wheat toll tax, a daughter-in-law tax... Anyway, several city lords and nobles have changed their ways to exploit the people.

Buff is trembling all over now, he looks at the displeased Liu Feng, and now he regrets applying for the paperwork a little bit.

If he is asked to be responsible for taxes in the future, he will quit his job immediately, otherwise he will be scolded to death by his friends and neighbors.

Liu Feng regained his composure, looked at Buff, who was sweating profusely, and said calmly, "From today on, remove all these miscellaneous taxes and leave a few basic taxes."

"Ah?" Buff stared at Liu Feng blankly, his eyes widened. He suspected that he had an auditory hallucination.

Liu Feng took out two rolls of sheepskin and quickly wrote on them. The first roll was a notice to remove certain unscrupulous taxes; the other was the certificate of Buff's appointment as a secretary.

"Here, stick this roll of notice on the wooden board outside, and you will come to work tomorrow." Liu Feng handed the two rolls of sheepskin to Buff, allowing him to go out.

Liu Feng looked at Buff who was leaving, and couldn't help sighing, "The people didn't turn against such outrageous taxation. That old bastard, Carter, is really lucky."

"You are indeed different from ordinary nobles."

Suddenly a clear female voice came from the side, startling Liu Feng, and turned to look at Mina who was standing silently by the side.

"Can you walk with a little sound?" Liu Feng rolled his eyes and asked.

"This is the instinct of a great cat warrior, but it cannot be changed." Mina said lightly.

"If a city lord can't feed the people under his rule, he is not a qualified city lord." Liu Feng said with emotion.

Mina remembered what she said when she first met Liu Feng: In this life, one can have nothing, but one cannot go hungry.

She remained silent. Since she was a child, she always ate every meal and was hungry. She agrees with this sentence the most.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Liu Feng asked curiously. He remembered that Maoer Niang was unfriendly to him at the beginning, but now she is here? Although it was playing hard to get, this attitude changed too quickly.

"I want you to care!" Mina wrinkled her nose, shook her ears, and walked away with her hips twisted.

...

And Buff left the City Lord's Mansion in a daze, and when he came to the door, he turned his head and looked at the door. Then he recovered, looked at the parchment in his hand, and suddenly there was a smile on his old face.

The people outside also saw Buff coming out of the city lord's mansion, and they were immediately surrounded by people, and they began to ask questions.

"Mr. Buff, how is it? That vampire nobleman, did he add some taxes?"

"Yeah! What kind of tax was added? Otherwise, how could it be possible to give such a high salary."

"If it's too much, I'll have to smuggle to another big city, otherwise I won't be able to save the winter wheat this year."

The more Buff listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help raising his hand to the people in front of him, slapped them on the head a few times, and cursed loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to die?"

"Well……"

Everyone fell silent, and they all looked at the excited Buff in surprise. Isn't this old man the most scolding person? How has it changed today.

"Cough cough cough..."

Buff raised the parchment in his hand, and said seriously, "This year has changed, and a good city lord has come, everyone is blessed."

"ah???"

"Has Mr. Buff been bought by the nobles?"

"It's very possible. After all, the salary of 120 copper coins, I was also bought, so that the family can not live too hard, and can also put more salt in the dishes."

"Papapa..." Buff raised his eyebrows angrily, and slapped out like the wind, hitting the head of the person in front of him, and roared, "Shut up."

Everyone was stunned and stared blankly at the angry Buff.

"Hmph! Some things can't be said indiscriminately. If you don't understand the situation, you will ruin my reputation. You are acting like a villain." Buff pointed at the noses of several people and cursed loudly.

"Also, if you dare to speak ill of Lord City Lord, I will fight him desperately."

Buff's serious face let everyone know that the old man was telling the truth. Now, no one dared to speak nonsense.

This is uneducated people who only guess others according to their personal preferences, and don't understand them logically.
