Become the city lord from today

Just when Liu Feng was thinking about how to generate income for Xiyang City, a small boat landed at the dock of Xiyang City.

"How did Baron Omar take a fancy to this broken place?"

Ryan, the messenger of Liema City, stood on the boat, frowning at the tattered dock, especially some wooden platforms had collapsed.

Lane was an unpopular civil servant in Baron Omar's domain, and one of the local quasi-nobles, once a knight, now driven by Omar to become a civil servant.

The knights of this era were not nobles, but a class between commoners and nobles, and were also nicknamed quasi-nobles, which was also desired by many commoners.

As long as the knight makes meritorious achievements, he is likely to become a nobleman, or like Liu Feng, buy a baronial title in the western land.

But few knights had savings, such as Lane, who had all his family possessions and only had a dozen silver coins, which he had struggled for twenty years to save.

The reason why Lane was driven to Xiyang City was only because he heard that there was a big change in Xiyang City, so let him come to see it, or come to test it.

This is a drudgery, and it is definitely a chore for Ryan, who is going to get married, he was not treated well by Baron Omar, and he was removed from his knighthood and changed to a clerical officer to deal with civil disputes in the territory.

"It seems that I can't catch up with the wedding date this time, I hope Li Zao won't blame me." Lane is not in a good mood, who was called to go on a business trip before getting married, and the best mood is to meet his lover.

He has never been able to integrate into Baron Omar's inner circle, only in the periphery, no, even the outer circle cannot be integrated, just an ordinary clerk for salaried work.

Before Baron Omar came, he was a famous knight in Fierce Horse City, but now he is so downtrodden that he only acts as a clerk, is it because I contradicted Baron Omar, a few unreliable things he did?

"Sir, are you going to enter Xiyang City now?" The servant asked earnestly.

He didn't know why the master's family was in a daze, only knew that the master was very good to him, that Baron Omar had been suppressing the master, and everyone in Liema City knew that it was the Lane Knight who was too upright.

"Let's go, Advanced City, this remote small city, where even foot merchants rarely come to a year, actually said that there is a big change."

Ryan shook his head, he didn't know what the person who delivered the news thought, or if Baron Omar deliberately suppressed him and wanted to drive him out of Liema City.

"Tread, tread..."

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Ryan turned his head to see four or five carriages coming towards the dock.

"Whew..."

The coachman stopped the carriage, Ying Ya jumped down from the carriage, and shouted politely, "Everyone, help unload the salt, and you will give two more steel coins." "

"Yes!"

Those coachmen hurriedly helped to lift the salt, saying that this was additional income, and there was no need to hand it over to the city lord's mansion.

Lane stared at this scene blankly, why is there so much salt from Xiyang? Can't civilians even buy salt?

With curiosity, Lane came to Yingya and said, "Excuse me, how did you transport all the salt away?" "

"You're from out of town, right? Tooth smiled bitterly.

"Yes, just coming today!"

"You know when you go to Xiyang City." Ying Ya lowered his head and said, it was a sad thing, why mention it again.

Lane looked at Yingya who walked away, confused, he turned his head to look in the direction of Xiyang City, with a little curiosity in his eyes, could it be that the nobles of Xiyang City were too cruel? Even the salt merchant can't stay?

"Let's go!" Lane led the servants towards Xiyang City.

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.

"Tread, tread..."

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Lane and the two quickly hid on the side of the road, and saw the carriages carrying salt.

In the distance, before Lane could speak, a coachman shouted, "Two outsiders, do you want to take the carriage?" "

Lane was stunned, are the people in Xiyang City so hospitable? He actually asked passers-by if they wanted to take the carriage first?

"Yes!" Lane hurriedly replied, there is still a distance from Xiyang City.

The coachman stopped the carriage and said with a smile on his face, "Here to Xiyang City, because out of the city, one person needs three steel coins, if you want, come up!" "

Lord City Lord said that when carrying outsiders, you must explain it clearly, otherwise you still think that you are carrying them kindly.

"Steel coins? What is it? Ryan froze, frowning and asking, "Did you say something wrong?" It's a copper coin, right? "

"Hey, you guys robbed? It costs three copper coins to take a person to Xiyang City? The servant was dissatisfied when he heard this, his monthly salary was only 60 copper coins, which he had only been with the master for so many years.

"No, you misunderstood, guests, 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 said of the city lord, his nostrils were raised by one point. The favorite of the civilians in Xiyang City is the steel coin, because you can buy a lot of things, which is very convenient to use.

"Is that so?" Ryan's eyes widened, which he never expected, and quickly took out a copper coin and asked, "Can you exchange it for steel coins?" "

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

Ryan took the servant to the carriage, handed over a copper coin, and recovered four steel coins.

"This is a steel coin?" Ryan squeezed a steel coin and looked closely.

The number 1 on the top was a symbol he hadn't seen, but the word 'horn' was recognized, which was the front of the steel coin, and behind it was a beautiful picture of ears of wheat.

"Hiss..."

Lane took a deep breath, just this coinage technology is already more powerful than the kingdom coinage technology.

He was now more and more curious about the situation in Xiyang City, especially the city lord who could invent this steel coin.

"Coachman, aren't you afraid of being known by your master when you take passengers halfway and collect money like this?" The servant sat next to the coachman and asked in a low voice.

"Why be afraid? What we do is this passenger business. The coachman shook his head amusedly, he had carried many people asking such questions these days.

It's really rare and strange, now the children in Xiyang City know that there is a rental carriage to sit on, as long as they spend two steel coins, they can go anywhere in Xiyang City.
