Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Yeah! I caught another one." Catherine shouted excitedly, holding the fishing line carefully, just like a little girl who got candy.

"Hush, Catherine, keep your voice down, you'll scare the fish away," Darlene scolded.

She fished for a long time, but she didn't even see a fish, like Catherine, Nicole and Mina, they pulled up one by one. Of course, there was His Excellency Liu Feng like her.

Darlene turned her head to look at Liu Feng who was basking in the sun, rolled her eyes, pouted and lifted the hook from time to time to see if there was any fish caught.

"Don't be impatient when fishing. Be steady and the fish will take the bait." Liu Feng slightly opened his eyes and said with a light smile, "You keep bringing it up to see, how do fish eat bait?"

"Ah! I took the bait." Darlene felt that the fishing rod sank in her hand, and she quickly lifted the fishing rod, only to see a fish as thick as two fingers caught.

"..." The corners of Liu Feng's eyes trembled, should he fight back so soon? He turned his head to look at his fishing rod, and there had been no movement for a long time. He lifted the fishing rod and looked, and the bait was still there.

what? This fish also picks the bait of beautiful women to bite? Liu Feng found that this fishing activity was not suitable for him. In the past, he could occasionally catch a fish, but now he would not take the bait.

"Huh? Your Excellency Liu Feng, what did you just say?" Darlene put down the fish and said embarrassedly, "I didn't hear it just now, can you say it again?"

"Uh..." Liu Feng was at a loss for words, seeing Darlene's puzzled face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said softly, "It's nothing, I just said that you are very beautiful."

"Ah?" Darlene was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, a blush crept up her cheeks, she turned her head a little at a loss, and stared blankly at the river.

What, what does His Excellency Liu Feng mean? Why did he suddenly praise me for being beautiful? Could it be...he has thoughts about me? No, it's impossible, but why?

Well, Liu Feng didn't expect that a joke of his own made Darlene fall into the entanglement of herself, perhaps, the age is different.

If it was placed on the other side of the earth, the girl would clearly know that it was perfunctory when she heard this, and she would probably get a blank stare.

"Dalena, I'm asking you something." Liu Feng had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of changing the subject.

Sure enough, Darlene was stunned when she heard this, turned her head to look at Liu Feng, and asked doubtfully, "Your Excellency Liu Feng, what do you want to ask?"

"I want to know which place has the most meat, that is, which place has the most livestock." Liu Feng said softly.

"The most animals? What does Your Excellency Liu Feng mean? Horses? Or sheep?" Darlene frowned, tilting her head and said, "If there are wild beasts, it means that there are the most confinement mountains."

"Let's just goat." Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and said, he only remembered at this time that the staple food of meat in this era is sheep, like pigs that haven't been domesticated yet, and there are still a herd of wild boars, and there is a herd of wild boars in his farm .

"What about sheep?" Darlene raised her chin and pondered, before she spoke after a while, "Now there are several large pastures in the Kingdom of Yingluo, all of which raise many sheep."

"Huh? Big pasture?" Liu Feng was surprised, and quickly asked, "How big is it? How many sheep?"

For his canned meat strategic materials, he had to find a supplier first, otherwise it would be difficult to store enough canned meat for a year with the Xiyang City farm alone.

It was only last night, in Anli's last report, that he found out that the price of meat in Xiyang City had quadrupled. It turned out that most of the meat had gone to the army, and the difficulty of hunting in winter had increased many times.

And the meat of the army cannot be reduced. This is the key to whether a strong army can be cultivated. How strong a man can be without meat, and how can he fight if he is not strong. I am afraid that he can't even support heavy armor.

But Xiyang City can’t run out of meat supply. It’s okay for a while, but if it goes on for a long time, there will be troubles. It’s not enough for the common people to resist him. If they are guided by people with good intentions, troubles will happen.

He couldn't kill the young wild boars, young pheasants, and lambs in the farm to eat meat. The cows inside were related to his important task of opening up wasteland next year.

"Big? There should be one or two thousand sheep..." Darlene said uncertainly, "I don't know now. In winter, there will probably be only lambs left, and the number should not be many."

"This..." Liu Feng frowned. Lamb was not what he wanted. There was no pasture in Xiyang City, it was all wasteland, and he didn't want to build a pasture either.

"Does Your Excellency Liu Feng want a lot of sheep?" Darlene asked curiously.

"Yeah!" Liu Feng nodded. If calculated by eating mutton alone, the army ate at least one hundred sheep a day, which is not free to eat.

Not to mention Zuixiaolou, and the consumables of nearly 10,000 people in Xiyang City, can these two thousand sheep last for ten days?

Now the people in Xiyang City have gradually become richer, and everyone is willing to eat meat. Don’t buy meat with coins, and the market will become deformed and unbalanced. The most important thing is that once foreign butchers invade In the market, the price will definitely not be cheap.

"I know a place with a lot of sheep, but that place is a bit far away." Darlene hesitated.

"Oh? That place?" Liu Feng asked quickly.

"The Sahara prairie is full of tribes that raise sheep and horses." Darlene said slowly.

"The prairie?" Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How far is it from here?"

"The Sahara Prairie is ten days away from Tengying City, and seventeen days away from Xiyang City." Darlene shook her head and said, this distance is very far. If you buy sheep and come back, you may have to use them for fodder. to many ships.

"The waterway takes seventeen days?" Liu Feng frowned and asked, "Is there no closer waterway?"

"This..." Darlene blushed and said embarrassedly, "I don't know either. I also heard about this route from others. As for whether there are other water routes to the Sahara Prairie, I don't know."

"That's it." Liu Feng nodded, it seems that he will go to Tengying City to find out the route.

In fact, apart from buying sheep, the most important thing he wanted was to buy cattle. Otherwise, it would take too much manpower to open up wasteland just relying on the few cattle in Xiyang City.

Chapter 0352 is hard to be a princess.

In the Royal City of Yingluo, in the palace, in the courtyard of Princess Lucy.

At this time, an unpleasant conversation is going on here, or in other words, one party is ordering the other party to do things according to his requirements.

"Lucy, as Brother Wang's little sister, you should help Brother Wang more. I will definitely treat you well when I become king." The eldest prince Lucia said very sincerely.

"This..." Lucy lowered her body slightly and said timidly, "Brother, let my little sister think about it."

"Consider?" The eldest prince Lucia frowned, then stretched his brows, and said with a smile, "Okay, when the younger sister has considered it, give me an answer."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lucy's answer, he got up and walked out with a flick of his sleeves. The moment he turned around, his face was as black as ink.

"call……"

Lucy watched the eldest prince leave, patted her chest and exhaled lightly. She is having a hard time now. These days, the eldest prince, the second prince and the fourth prince send people to send messages from time to time, wanting her to use them as the protagonists to write a novel.

Just write it, the plot, the villain and the ending are up to them; like the plot is to describe how great they are, how many achievements they have made, and by the way, smear the competitors, that is, the opponents who are fighting for the throne. The ending is all them. The king ends.

How can I write this? She can't write at all, she can write but dare not write, this will be blamed by her father, and she doesn't want to write, which completely violates her original intention and wish.

No, Princess Lucy pretended to be sick, didn't go out of the courtyard, and didn't meet anyone, but still couldn't escape, the eldest prince came to the door in person, or forced his way in, saying he cared about the health of the younger sister.

But as soon as she was rejected, she walked away angrily, which also made Lucy see that her brothers wanted to use her reputation among nobles and businessmen to gain momentum for them.

...

The eldest prince Lucia had a gloomy face, his heart was burning with anger, thinking? In his opinion, this is already a refusal. He is really brave. A wild princess who was born to a lowly maidservant dared to refuse him.

It's a pity that he has been maintaining the image of Prince Pianpian, but he can't get angry, otherwise he might just slap the table and reprimand Lucy, and he still wants to consider his request. Could it be that he is planning to write a book for that barbarian Greener?

"Tat Tat Tat..."

As soon as Lucia stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the person he hated. That was the second prince, Greener, the barbarian who could most threaten his throne.

"Hey, isn't this the second brother? Why? You also come to visit little sister Lucy?" Lucia said with a smile, with a very enthusiastic look, even if she wanted to stab her to death with a sword.
