Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord

She was holding a lollipop in her mouth, and there were many open notepads on the desk. These were the financial revenue and expenditure of Xiyang City.

Liu Feng frowned, about [-] gold coins, don't look like a lot, in fact they are consumed faster, like Josen's war horse, once it arrives, at least half of the gold coins will be lost.

There are also the wages of those workshops, which also need to be paid. The income and expenditure are already out of balance. The main reason is that there is no trade line. It depends on the small businessmen in the nearby cities, which cannot drive much of the economy at all.

The most important thing is that many of his trades take time, and the capital is a big market, and it is also a place that can bring a lot of profits quickly for the time being.

But he won't be able to see the gold coins until the beginning of spring next year, and he can only work hard when the income of the king's capital arrives, otherwise it will be really difficult to let go.

Liu Feng pays the most in three aspects, one is the infrastructure, the other is the army, and the third is the salary of the workshop.Needless to say about the infrastructure, the amount of money he invested in transforming Xiyang City so quickly could make some nobles feel heartbroken for several years, and the single grain consumption would make people dumbfounded.

The army, the research and development funds he invested, as well as the security of the soldiers, as well as food, etc., also required a lot of gold coins.

Workshops, Liu Feng now has many workshops, such as spinning workshops, weaving workshops, pottery workshops, steelmaking workshops, etc. The salaries of these people are also very large.

There are already a lot of goods in the warehouse, and those who have to sell them can get back the funds, and only if these goods are sold, he can become a big local tycoon.

"What is the current daily income of the big market?" Liu Feng asked lightly.

"Master, the big market now has very little shipments, and the average daily income is about eight gold coins. Compared with before winter, there are twelve gold coins less." An Li frowned.

She is also very worried. According to the current situation, Xiyang City's financial situation is very dangerous. If the workers' salaries cannot be paid after a month, that is the biggest crisis, and it is a credit crisis.

"It seems that the shipment volume of those merchants is not very large." Liu Feng sighed, many things have stagnated in winter, like merchants seldom ship goods to sell.

He started work here in full swing, and he was indeed one step ahead of others, which also caused the volume of goods to pile up.

But the workshop cannot stop working, otherwise there will be a break in the great development next year. After all, the current depression is due to the winter. As long as it survives the winter, those merchants will desperately buy goods from him.

Moreover, once Darlene sells his goods in the capital, it will definitely attract some big businessmen to Xiyang City, and they will only be afraid that the goods will not be enough.

"Master, I still have 22 silver coins here." An Li took out a money ticket from her backpack and said softly, "I will buy less lollipops."

"Master, I also have some silver coins here." Nicole reached out and pulled her flaxen hair behind her ears, and said softly, "I can borrow some from my father."

"I... I spent it all." Tess scratched her cheek embarrassedly, the one silver coin she had paid in advance was spent on food.

"I can go to pick up the hunting mission." Mina said coldly with a saber in both hands, "I haven't done it for a long time, so I can just go for some activities."

"I can do it too." Avery subconsciously grabbed behind her, but it was empty, and she was stunned for a while before she realized that she didn't have the big sword in her hands now.

"Wow..." Panda Caesar turned over, scratched the corner of his mouth and went back to sleep.

"Okay, it's not like the family can't get rid of the pot." Liu Feng turned around, showed a gentle smile, and said softly, "Your pocket money is still kept, and you can buy something you like in the future."

The financial situation is similar to what he estimated. It should be said that his pace is too fast, causing the economy to fail to keep up. No, it should be said that the winter is too sluggish, even more sluggish than he expected.

In fact, if you don't buy war horses, Xiyang City's financial balance is just right, but you have to buy war horses, which is related to the safety of Xiyang City.

"But……"

An Li opened her mouth anxiously, but was interrupted softly by Liu Feng, "Did you forget the income from Zuixiaolou?"

"Eh?" An Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly searched through the unprocessed government affairs, and soon found the income and expenditure report of Zuixiaolou, which was sent over today.

"How is it? How's the income?" Liu Feng said calmly. Since joining Qingcai, the sales of Zuixiaolou have not been reported yet.

"This...how is this possible?" En Li stared at her brown eyes and shouted in disbelief, "In three days, I earned seven gold coins."

"Oh? So many?" Liu Feng was also surprised. It seems that there are quite a few businessmen in Xiyang City, and they are willing to spend money on food and drink.

"Master, if this continues, the sales of Zuixiaolou can pay one-tenth of the wages of the workers." An Li said excitedly.

"Indeed." Liu Feng nodded. This is good news, he said to An Li, "Calculate, excluding the gold coins for buying war horses, whether the remaining gold coins can support the income of the king's capital."

"Yes." An Li nodded obediently, took out the paper and quickly calculated, she had already developed a powerful calculation ability, which was second only to Nicole and Liu Feng in the castle.

Quiet in the study, Liu Feng stepped forward and sat on the desk, resting his cheeks and thinking. He had no experience in managing a territory or a city in the past. He was also a novice on the road. .

"Master, according to the current financial revenue and expenditure, we can barely make ends meet until the beginning of spring next year, but if Darlene's fleet fails to arrive at Xiyang City within the estimated time, it will be a bit difficult to make ends meet." An Li said softly.

"As long as they can sell the goods in the capital, that's fine. As for whether they can arrive on time, that's not under consideration." Liu Feng smiled mysteriously. He has a hot air balloon. Just bring it back.

Chapter 0316 to participate in the auction?

Can you come back to Xiyang City on time? Is it not under consideration?The people present were stunned when they heard this. What does this mean?Is there other income generation?

"Master, if the Royal Capital's fleet fails to return to Xiyang City on time, we will have no money to pay the workers." An Li said with a serious face.

What she said is very possible. The waterway and the poor sales of goods in the capital will cause time delays. As long as there is a delay of half a month, Xiyang City will have a financial crisis.

Not to mention that in the spring of next year, Liu Feng will buy a lot of horses, and those workers will also start working. The whole city will work for Liu Feng, and the salary will be terrifying.

"Don't worry, I will find a solution when the time comes." Liu Feng said with a light smile, "Besides, the fleet hasn't set off yet, so how do you know that the fleet can't be on time?"

The hot air balloon hasn't been made yet, so it's hard for the beast-eared girls to believe what they say now. He said that he can go to the sky and reach the capital in a few days. Will anyone believe it?

Riding in a hot air balloon is also very dangerous. If there is a strong wind, it is really difficult to guarantee where you will be blown. This depends entirely on the practice of wind sense and other operations. For example, if the wind direction is not right, you will immediately descend. The route was blown off course, and fuel is also a big problem.

Personnel, fuel, etc., must be tested before they can be put into use.The use of hot air balloons is only used in desperate situations. This is just a preventive measure. Hot air balloons are used only when there is no other choice...

In fact, if there are bird-type orcs, the risk is reduced by 50.00%, and the bird-type orcs can easily solve the direction problem. When there is wind or the wind direction is correct, they can rely on hot air balloons to move forward, and when there is no wind, rely on bird-type orcs to pull Keep the hot air balloon off course.

After all, the load-bearing capacity of a hot air balloon is many times larger than that of a single bird orc, and it can also be used for some special trades, such as the transportation of perfume.

"It's just... just in case..." A trace of worry flashed in An Li's eyes. The coins in that batch of goods were not a small amount. She was worried that they would be swallowed privately, or that there would be problems on the way of the fleet.

"Anxin, Solo is not a short-sighted person." Liu Feng smiled lightly, he knew what Hu Erniang was worried about, if Solo's family were not idiots, they would not have embezzled gold coins.
