Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

In the early morning, Xiyang City summoned a new machine, and the whole city was bustling with discussions everywhere.

In the study of the castle, Liu Feng listened quietly to the noise outside. The three-day holiday for the New Year passed, and all the workshop workers started to go to work. And other people who have been idle all winter, go out early in the morning, they are all waiting to arrange work.

"Huh..." Liu Feng exhaled, and took out a letter from the drawer. It was a letter sent by Niu Wu last night, and he didn't think to check it until now.

Mina sat on the desk with her buttocks, chewing dried fish, watching the young master's movements curiously, turning her head to look at An Li who was writing and drawing with her head down from time to time.

Everyone went to work today, Avery escorted Nicole and Sheeran to inspect the store, Tees went to work in the security department, Eliza went to sniper training, and Wei Ya took Frey and Su Mi to school.

Only she can be lazy for a while. The intelligence organization is already on the right track, and she no longer needs to do it herself. Now the letter express is expanding to other cities in an orderly manner. I believe that within half a year, all cities in the west will have a letter express delivery.

"It's interesting. There are thirty cows. This is really good news." Liu Feng said with a light smile. This is Niu Wu reporting back the request of the orc tribe in the Sahara prairie.

"Master, does that orc tribe have any requests?" Mina asked curiously. She was very interested in that orc tribe. It was incredible that she could build a large tribe of 30,000 to 40,000 orcs in the prairie. thing.

"They want salt and vegetables." Liu Feng said slowly, he was determined to have 30 cows, Xiyang City was too short of cows, or the entire western land was short of cows.

As long as there is a cow, it can be tamed into a farming cow. With a Quyuan plow, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Now the orc tribe also attaches great importance to cattle, and cowhide is definitely a good material for leather armor.

According to the information sent back by Niu Wu, it seems that many nobles know that cowhide is the best material for leather armor, and some people have started to raise a large number of cows in captivity.

Now that Liu Feng needs cattle, he is aiming at the lack of salt in the orc tribe, and he is negotiating terms with the other party. This letter is the second negotiation. The last time he bought a horse and came back, it was the first time to discuss cattle.

He also wants the orc tribe to help him raise cow cubs, and more and more farming cattle will be used in the future.

"Master, the surrounding cities are short of salt recently, and the price of salt has risen to forty copper coins per catty." Mina said a piece of information, which was collected during the three days of the New Year.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, wondering, "What's the reason? Although there was a lack of salt before, it wasn't that exaggerated, right?"

Forty copper coins for a catty of salt, needless to say, few commoners could afford it, so something must have happened in that place.

"Information shows that something happened in the ocean to the east. I heard that more than a dozen gangs of big pirates are harassing the coastal cities." Mina said with a serious face.

"That is to say, the production of sea salt has been destroyed." Liu Feng's black eyes flickered, and there were actually more than a dozen groups of pirates, which reminded him of the colonial period in modern times on Earth. Could it be that someone is targeting the coastal areas? Want to go ashore and occupy land?

"Yes, traveling merchants can't get new sources of salt, and now they are increasing their prices." Mina said in a low voice, which reminded her of the salt sellers in the city who raised the price of salt when Xiyang City first started.

"Master, this may be an opportunity. Our green salt reserves are enough to feed Xiyang City for ten years. We can sell the green salt." An Li raised her head and suggested that selling salt is definitely a profitable business.

The salt production in Xiyang City has never stopped. The salt produced every day is enough for half a month in Xiyang City. The excess salt is stored, and the warehouse has already filled up to three.

"Oh? There's so much salt." Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, "Mina, arrange for someone to investigate the salt usage in nearby cities, as well as the operation of those salt vendors."

"Yes." Mina replied seriously.

"It seems that you can give more salt to the orc tribe." Liu Feng took out a piece of paper and began to write. Since there is more salt, he should give more, which is his sincerity.

Fifteen minutes later, Liu Feng finished writing the letter, handed it to Mina and said, "Arrange someone to send it to Heishui City and hand it over to Niu Wu. By the way, bring three hundred catties of green salt and one thousand catties of Chinese cabbage."

"Okay." Mina replied, and immediately went out of the study to arrange for someone to deliver salt and letters.

"An Li, how many people did we recruit in total?" Liu Feng turned his head and asked Hu Er Niang, "How many people signed up for the work of land reclamation?"

Thirty cows will arrive in Xiyang City, at least ten days later, but now the land reclamation time cannot be stopped.

"Master, more than a thousand people signed up for land reclamation." An Li flipped through her notepad and said, this data was collected before the New Year.

The first important thing in the beginning of spring is to sow spring seeds. The earlier the food seeds are planted, the earlier the harvest will be, and the food will be self-sufficient, so that people will not be controlled by others.

"What about construction?" Liu Feng nodded. More than a thousand people opened up wasteland, which made him very satisfied.

"Master, this number is more than a thousand, and many of them are registered by the autumn batch of civilians." An Li read quickly, she knew these statistics in her mind.

"Very good." Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction, took out a drawing from the drawer, and spread it out on the table.

"Master, what is this?" An Li surrounded her curiously, she lay her hands on the desk and looked at the blueprint, and asked in surprise, "This is the planning map of Xiyang City?"

Chapter 0525 population constraints.

The planning map of Xiyang City was designed by Liu Feng himself. The previous planning map of Xiyang City was only the size of the original Xiyang City. The planning map he has produced now is after the expansion of Xiyang City blueprints.

"This is the new planning map of Xiyang City." The corners of Liu Feng's mouth rose. It took him a whole winter to come up with a planning map suitable for this era.

"Master, can this really be built?" An Li's brown eyes trembled as she stared blankly at the blueprint, feeling a little whimsical.

Have you ever seen a building tens of meters high? And there is a platform on the building, the big round bun-like building is too big, right? It looks like something that only exists in fantasy.

"What? You don't think it can be built?" Liu Feng raised his brows slightly, and Maoer Niang had doubts before. After all, a building tens of meters high is really incredible in this era.

"Uh..." An Lihu raised her ears and hesitated. She really thought it was impossible. A building tens of meters high is really too high. Who can build it so high? It will also collapse easily.

"You'll know in the future." Liu Feng didn't bother to explain. The building, which is tens of meters high, can be regarded as the landmark building he built for Xiyang City.

Landmark buildings are very necessary, just like some tourist areas, some people just go to see that certain thing, and this landmark building will become a symbol of Xiyang City in the future, such as the tallest building in the world!

With the construction capabilities of this era, it will definitely cost a lot to build such a building, and it will use a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is a worthwhile investment.

"Master, what is this?" An Li didn't bother, and asked about the bun-like building. The young master said yes, although it was unbelievable.

"This is a theater, and it's also a meeting place." Liu Feng said with a light smile, he could see that Hu Erniang was dubious.

"Is it that big?" An Li was stunned. How did she find out that many things in the new planning map of Xiyang City are tall and big.

"This is a theater that can accommodate 5,000 people." Liu Feng smiled lightly, and the planning map he made was the planning map for the next five years.

In fact, the construction speed will only be a little slower than that of the earth, because the manpower he uses is several times, or ten times the number of people who build buildings on the earth, just like ants moving houses, winning by quantity.

"Then young master, do you want to start building now?" An Li's brown eyes flickered, full of worry.

She was afraid that the young master would build these improbable buildings, which would waste a lot of materials and manpower, and drag down Xiyang City.

"Not yet." Liu Feng smiled and shook his head. "There are not enough houses for common people now. The school for students has not been built yet, and the city wall has to be built."

He was not dazzled by his longing, and he pursued face-saving projects in a feverish manner. This would make the future development of Xiyang City deformed, and the price of going astray and turning back would be too high.

"That's good, that's good." An Li breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that the young master would pursue these shocking things, and not care about the lives of the common people below. However, the young master is the young master, he did not disappoint her, he is still a good nobleman who loves the people.

The appearance of the fox-eared lady made Liu Feng roll his eyes. He pointed to a group of low buildings on the drawing and said, "I will build all of this area into residential buildings, which is one of the primary tasks of Xiyang City. "

The design of the residential building can accommodate more than 10,000 people, which can be regarded as a densely populated area.

"Yes." An Li immediately took a notepad and began to write.

"This area will become a park, that is, a place to hang out." Liu Feng pointed to the blank space near the residential building area.

"Park? What's this like?" An Li didn't understand, and park was a new and unfamiliar word.

"It's just to plant some flowers and plants, make some gravel roads, a place where you can go out and walk around after dinner in the evening." Liu Feng roughly talked about it, and he will understand if he understands it. He even has a zoo on his agenda.
