Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Mina compared the braised pork made by May, the soft bread made by Nicole, and the food on the table below, which should be the pig food that the young master said.

Before Mina was kept waiting, the grain merchants came in from outside, the maids were all driven out, and a few strong guards stood guard at the door.

"Wow! My friend, the food tonight is very rich. This pork is rotten and delicious." One of the grain merchants shouted excitedly. He grabbed the pork with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's really delicious, even better than the one made by my cook. This wheat bread is full of fragrance." Another grain merchant, more like a starving ghost, chewed pork with one hand and wheat bread with the other.

"Everyone enjoy themselves, this is held according to the banquet of nobles, everyone eat more." A fat grain merchant said happily, and he poured wheat wine into his mouth.

Mina on the beam, she almost vomited when she saw how the people below were eating.

The black fingernails are catching food, and the beard is greasy; compared to her current life in the castle, Mina is really the difference between heaven and hell.

She thought about it for a while, and found that the other nobles seemed to be in the same way. They all ate with their hands, and at most they would be accompanied by an exquisite knife.

"Could it be that the young master is the real nobleman?"

Mina had such a question. There are several ways to eat meat in the castle. You can use a knife and fork to eat steak, and chopsticks made of two wooden sticks to eat fried meat.

She remembered that when she and Nicole ate steak for the first time, they felt like laughing when they saw the dazed look of the knife and fork. It was the young master who taught them to eat steak with knife, fork and chopsticks.

"In other words, am I living a better life than the princess?" Mina was thinking wildly in her heart.

While chatting while eating, the conversation at the beginning was all gossip, such as which grain merchant made a lot of money, who mixed coarse wheat with refined wheat, but sold it at the price of refined wheat.

After the food merchants were full, they burped a few times, and they all burst out laughing, "Hahaha... so cool!"

"Everyone is full, it's time to talk about business." The fat grain merchant said seriously.

"Come on, it's definitely not as simple as eating alone when you call us here."

The fat grain merchant nodded, glanced at the few people present, and lowered his voice slightly, "Everyone should know that the autumn harvest of wheat is only a few days away. When the wheat harvest is bumper, our wheat price will plummet."

"Indeed, ours is old wheat from the warehouse, which is worse than the newly harvested wheat." Some grain merchants agreed.

"Is it going to raise the price again? It was raised only two days ago, and how long it takes to raise the price again. I'm afraid it will be disturbed by the people." Some grain merchants worried.

"What are you afraid of? Don't they buy wheat? As long as we don't sell wheat for five or six days, many people will starve to death. Who dares to make trouble?" The fat grain merchant said disdainfully.

"Indeed, as long as we unify the price, those people will have to buy it if they don't."

"I'm only worried about whether the city lord will suppress us. You must know that the city lord has recruited more than a hundred soldiers today." A grain merchant said worriedly.

"Hey..." The fat grain merchant smiled disdainfully, "Are you afraid of those newly recruited militiamen? They're not knights."

"When the new city lord has trained the militia, the autumn harvest is here, we have earned enough, and everyone will leave Xiyang City, what are you afraid of?"

The fat grain merchant stood up, waved his hands and said passionately, "Besides, are you afraid? This new city lord has no skills, and even cut himself off. He actually exempted so much tax. He has to support more than a hundred people. You Do you think the wheat should be sold to him?"

"Hahaha... sell him if you listen, and don't sell if you don't listen. Those militiamen will make trouble if they have nothing to eat."

Chapter 0022 Mina's killing intent.

On the beam, Mina took out two sabers, and when she heard that the grain merchants below were plotting against Liu Feng, she wanted to go down and kill these people. The grain merchants are all dead.

"Everyone, don't forget that we are helping Baron Omar and the others. The new city lord dare not offend Baron Omar and the others. Otherwise, Baron Omar and other nobles can easily kill the new city lord by sending troops together. "The fat grain merchant shouted triumphantly.

"Hahaha... Do you want to leak the news that we are Baron Omar?" A grain merchant laughed wildly.

"Okay, and in a few days, we will make another price. Before the autumn harvest, we will raise six copper coins for a catty of rough wheat." The fat grain merchant sneered.

"Hahaha... yes, I will do as you say."

After hearing this, Mina stopped listening. She took out a notepad from her arms and wrote down what she heard.

She wanted to spread the news back quickly. These grain merchants were here to harvest money. You must know that a catty of rough wheat was only two copper coins, even if it was refined wheat, it was only four copper coins.

Now the price of coarse wheat has reached the price of refined wheat, which will kill many people, and they plan to raise the price again.

Mina came down from the beam without a sound, and under the cover of the shadow, she walked out of the house easily, and she even brought out a piece of pork.

"Pooh……"

On the way, Mina spat out the pork, "This meat is really unpalatable."

Seeing those people eating with gusto, she thought it was delicious, but when she ate it, she realized that it was salty and fishy, ​​just like the taste in her memory.

Soon, Mina returned to the castle, and she came to the study with ease.

As soon as she entered the door, Mina smelled a familiar smell, and a warm voice sounded in her ears. Liu Feng smiled lightly, "I'm back, I cooked lean meat porridge for you, come and eat."

"Yeah!" Mina nodded obediently, her cat ears trembling, she put the notepad in her arms in front of Liu Feng, and sat down on the desk.

"Meow! It's so delicious..." Mina took the lean meat porridge and ate it in big mouthfuls, shaking her head from time to time.

Liu Feng looked at the news on the notepad, and turned his head to ask about the situation from time to time. After all, the characters written by Mao Er Niang were just like Mao Pa.

"The situation is similar to what I imagined, but a little unexpected. I didn't expect the nobles from several other cities to have reached out for so long."

Liu Feng closed the notepad and thought about it. What happened today reminded him.

"Master, shall I kill them all?" Mina put down the third empty bowl and said murderously.

"We can't kill them yet."

Liu Feng shook his head. His soldiers had just been recruited and had no combat effectiveness at all. Once these grain merchants were killed, those nobles would find an excuse to send troops to Xiyang City.

What he lacks now is time. Give him twenty days, and he won't be afraid of those nobles' knights.

"What about the food price?" Mina asked in distress.

"Don't worry, they're going to raise the price. I think it will be three days later. I'll let them experience how no one goes to buy wheat." Liu Feng's eyes flashed coldly.

Mina blinked her blue eyes, tilted her head and thought for a while, but she couldn't think of any way to make people stop buying wheat for three days.

"Okay, when you're full, go wash up and go to sleep, you've been tired all day." Liu Feng pinched Mina's cat tail which kept wagging.

"Hey..." Mina's cheeks turned red in an instant, her blue eyes were full of water mist, she pulled her tail back in a hurry, and ran out of the study in a bit of a panic.

"Well……"

Liu Feng's palm was stiff there. He scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Mina? Why is she suddenly shy?"

"By the way, I pinched her tail just now...this...cough cough cough..."

Liu Feng thought of an article he read on the earth, which said that if human beings still had tails when they evolved, then the tail would be one of the most sensitive parts of human beings.

"It seems that you just molested Mina!" Liu Feng smiled wryly.
