Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Happy New Year!!!"

Suddenly there was a shout from outside, like the waves of the sea, louder than louder.

"The new year is here." Liu Feng smiled lightly, and glanced at his watch. It was exactly twelve o'clock, and his new year in another world had begun.

"Shua!"

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Nicole covered her face, ran out of the toilet, and slipped away so quickly, it was so embarrassing, she was a little afraid to face the young master now.

"Really..." Liu Feng looked at Nicole's back running in embarrassment. Embarrassing things happened in the New Year, and he couldn't help laughing, "Days will only get better and better."

"Aha!"

"I'm still a little sleepy." Liu Feng walked towards his room. In the few days since the new year is easy, he will start to be busy with the water supply project and the city expansion plan.

"Just a few more people to help."

Liu Feng's muttering words came from the corridor, making the maids on guard look at each other in dismay.

"Your City Lord is really hardworking."

"Yeah, everyone is on vacation, and the city owner is still concerned about the territory."

Chapter 0518 Bridge on the Youshui River?

In the early morning, around eight o'clock, the streets are full of people coming and going.

"The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold, good news for the New Year, good news." Ale shouted around with the newspaper, with a smile on his face, he was very happy and full these days.

He sells newspapers in the morning and at noon, and at night he goes to Mr. Buff’s night hall to learn how to read. He can already write his own name, and he can eat enough and clothe himself warmly. The next step is to save money to buy a house.

"The newspaper is sold, good news for the New Year, and the city owner has written blessings to everyone." Ale waved the newspaper and shouted.

"Newspaper seller, give me a newspaper." Tori shouted, holding two steel coins in his hand, the change for buying buns.

Now in Xiyang City, those who are a little richer will buy a newspaper early in the morning, and then spend the whole day discussing things in the newspaper. It is really difficult to get involved in other people's conversations without buying a newspaper.

"Okay, sir, your newspaper." Ale immediately handed over the newspaper.

Tori took the newspaper and opened it to look. The political news said Happy New Year, and some New Year's etiquette. Amount suggestions, etc.

"Huh? This is interesting, give red envelopes to juniors, then go to Mr. Solo's house tonight, do you want to give red envelopes to Geer? Ten copper coins should be about the same? Just treat it as pocket money." Tori chuckled.

"Pasting door couplets on both sides of the door of the house can actually exorcise evil spirits? The word "Fu" is pasted upside down, which means that blessing has arrived? Is this okay?" Tori was shocked, and then nodded seriously, "Since the Lord City Lord has also posted it, then I will buy a few too. Come and paste it."

Tori walked according to the address recorded in the newspaper, and read the newspaper while walking. He continued to read, and there were many political news, but the last one made Tori's eyes widen, and he said in astonishment, "Building a bridge on the Youshui River, Almost finished? Is this a joke?"

He had heard about the construction of the bridge over the Youshui River for a long time. He heard that it was under construction a month or two ago, but he didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that it was just the words of the city lord.

"After the New Year, the Youshui Pontoon Bridge will be officially opened. The land across the Youshui River is fertile. Please prepare for land reclamation. You only need to pay 10% of the grain tax in the first year of land reclamation, and 20% of the grain tax in the second year. Only pay 30% of the food tax in the third year." Tori muttered softly, he was surprised by the policy issued by the city lord, and he was really kind to these commoners.

He was thinking about whether to hire civilians to open up wasteland and grow wheat. After all, this is also a way of making money, but the next piece of political news made Tori dispel this idea.

"The city lord's mansion needs a lot of manpower to open up wasteland. The monthly salary is 80 copper coins. Please sign up in three days."

Now that Tori knows, the city lord is making another big move. Could it be that he wants to recruit people to grow their own food?

"Huh? This advertisement was actually accepted by this store. I heard that it costs one silver coin a day now, so I'm really willing to do it."

"..."

Princess Lucy and Jones stood by the side of the avenue, watching the nagging fat man go away, and couldn't help being curious about the newspaper.

"Jones, do we want to buy a copy?" Princess Lucy asked curiously. They went after the end of last night. The two slept soundly and went out for a stroll early in the morning.

"Buy." Jones walked directly to the yelling boy, and under the timid eyes of the boy, handed over two steel coins and took a newspaper.

Ale pursed his lips, held the steel coin tightly and ran away. That woman is so cold, colder than Miss Mina who is beside the Lord.

"Jones, you scared him." Princess Lucy scolded, her golden eyes were full of smiles as she looked at the boy going away, and reached out to take the newspaper handed over by Leopard-Er Niang.

"..." Jones was speechless, her character was like this, and she was frightened by this, which showed that the other party was timid.

"This is a newspaper? It's incredible." Princess Lucy's golden eyes trembled, and she opened her mouth to look at the words on the newspaper. She only glanced around and found that the newspaper was definitely not written by hand.

Because it is handwritten, it is impossible to have no typos in the whole article, and more importantly, the font gaps in this newspaper are all neat and tidy.

Jones just glanced at the newspaper and stopped paying attention. She was not interested in words at all, but the smell of meat in the air made her very interested.

"It's not handwritten, how did this word come from?" Princess Lucy frowned and thought about it. This kind of technology made her very jealous. After all, all the novels she published were copied by hand. The novels copied in this way Lots of typos.

Princess Lucy thought how wonderful it would be if a thousand books of her novels could be produced according to this technology, and everyone could read her novels.

This should be made by the city lord, do you want to ask him? Princess Lucy thought for a while, then shook her head, putting this thought aside for the time being.

"Conscription? What is this?" Princess Lucy frowned and looked at the newspaper seriously. She didn't understand the word very well, and continued to read, "It is required to be able to swim, to be familiar with water, to be physically strong, to be between fifteen and thirty years old, and to have a monthly salary One hundred copper coins."

"It should be the fleet guard." Jones said lightly.

"Jones, do you read this political news? A bridge is being built over the Youshui River, and it's almost finished. Are you kidding me?" Princess Lucy pointed to the last political news with a chuckle.

"Whimsical." Jones was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, "Impossible."

How wide is the Youshui River? Everyone knows that it is impossible to build a bridge on the Youshui River. This is clearly a grandstanding.

"Yes, I also think it's impossible." Princess Lucy chuckled and shook her head, then looked down.

Half an hour later, Princess Lucy stood on the side of the road, finished reading a newspaper, and couldn't help sighing, "This newspaper is really a great invention. With this newspaper, all the big and small things that happen in a city can be easily reported." learned."

"Are you going to find Eliza?" Jones asked indifferently.

"Not for now, let's take a look around the city first." Princess Lucy rolled up the newspaper. She is very interested in the city now, especially the newspaper office and the library.

Chapter 0519 comer is not good.

"Clatter..."

The sound of water hitting the wooden boards sounded.

On the Youshui River, a fleet of hundreds of ships is slowly advancing, and Darlene's fleet is leading the way.

Darlene stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the densely packed boats behind her. She was in a very complicated mood now, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad to bring so many people to Xiyang City.

But she thought of what His Excellency Liu Feng said before leaving, so she didn't need to worry, don't worry about those followers when you come, just take them to Xiyang City.

"How long will it take to reach Xiyang City?" Darlene asked without looking back.
