Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 0556 North Wind City was emptied.

The flood in the lower reaches of the Youshui River has already spread in the upper reaches, and many victims of the disaster have flooded into these cities, and Beifeng City also has flooded in.

The Lord of Beifeng stood on the city wall, looking with a gloomy face at the refugees queuing up outside the city to enter the city. There were hundreds of people in this wave, and it was already the third wave today.

"How many refugees are there in the city?" Beifeng City Lord said in a low voice.

"Big, there are about 2,000 people." The knight said cautiously, he could see that the city lord was not very happy.

"Is there something wrong?" Beifeng City Lord said flatly, no one could see what he was thinking.

"A few refugees stole wheat, and now they have been hanged for public display." The knight said with a serious face.

"There are more and more refugees." The Beifeng City Lord's fat face trembled, looking at the refugees gathered at the gate of the city. Safety.

"My lord, why don't you send knights to drive away the refugees?" The knight suggested, the city is very unsafe now, there are messy refugees everywhere, and things like stealing and smashing happen from time to time.

"Hmph, no need." The Lord of Beifeng waved his hand and said indifferently, "Send people to send these refugees to Xiyang City. Isn't that Liu Feng short of people? Let's send some people to him for free."

He thought that the people from Xiyang City came to borrow a boat a few days ago, and it was extremely ridiculous to save people, making him think that Liu Feng had a brain twitch? Can the civilians in your own territory afford it? Is it okay to keep coins? It's ridiculous to have such a kind heart to save people.

"Is City Lord Liu Feng willing to accept these refugees?" The knight hesitated. He knew that the City Lord had a lot of opinions on Xiyang City Lord Liu Feng, mainly because the current Beifeng City was about to be taken over by Xiyang City.

"I will accept it, and send some wheat to Xiyang City by the way, Liu Feng will definitely accept it." The Lord of Beifeng City sneered, it would be better if he didn't accept it, and he spread rumors to make that Liu Feng famous in the street.

He would like to see how Xiyang City can support so many people. It is only spring now, and the harvest will not be until autumn. Even if you go to buy wheat, you have to go inland, where wheat is harvested twice a year, but you have to be prepared to be slaughtered.

The trade in Xiyang City has just started not long ago. Unlike Beifeng City, which hoards enough wheat for tens of thousands of people every year, after all, he is a middleman of wheat, and he sells it at a higher price every time.

Who knows that a large population is good, but it must be able to afford it, and raising so many wastes is a waste of food, so he will not foolishly give wheat to those refugees, just like the Xiyang city lord. Only a fool would do that, no amount of wealth would be ruined.

Anyway, he won't sell his wheat to Xiyang City anymore. He wanted to see what that Liu Feng did, but he actually put his hands in Beifeng City. Does this mean he is easy to bully?

"My lord, how much wheat do you want to send?" The knight didn't expect the city lord to be so generous that he would give wheat to others.

"A thousand catties of wheat." Beifeng City Lord smiled lightly.

"Uh..." The knight was stunned. A thousand catties of wheat, if eaten sparingly, is enough to feed a thousand people for two days. Isn't it too stingy to send this little wheat over there?

"What? Is there any problem?" Beifeng City Lord squinted his eyes and looked over, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"No, no problem." The knight said excitedly, the city lord has been a little moody recently.

"Get ready, I'll go to Xiyang City together tomorrow." Beifeng City Lord said lightly, he missed the food at Zuixiaolou a little bit, and also wanted to see Xiyang City Lord's jokes.

"My subordinates will make arrangements immediately." The knight saluted, turned around and went down the city wall.

The knight stood under the city wall, turned his head to look at the city lord, sighed silently, and muttered to himself, "Master the city lord, why are you bothering? We can't afford to provoke the city lord of Xiyang."

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The knight strode towards the city. He was going to dispatch someone to arrange for these refugees. Now the streets of Beifeng City were full of refugees with their families and their families, holding a broken bowl in their hands.

"Hey, have you heard? There is cheap salt for sale in the city."

"Really? Now a catty of salt costs forty copper coins. Cheap salt is not much cheaper, right? How many copper coins can you drop?"

"Hey... Look, this bag of salt only costs five copper coins, and this bag weighs less than three taels. It only costs more than twenty copper coins per catty, isn't it cheap?"

"It only costs more than 20 copper coins for a catty of salt? Are you kidding me? How can it be so cheap? Is the salt bad? Is it mixed with sand?"

"No, how could it be mixed with sand? It's green salt from Xiyang City. It's good salt. The owner of Xiyang City specially makes this small bag of salt so that the common people can afford it."

"Salt from Xiyang City, then it's no problem, I'll go buy a pack now."

"It's just in the east of the city. There's a newly opened salt shop there. Hurry up, there are a lot of people rushing to buy it."

"good."

"..."

"Alas~~" The knight couldn't help sighing when he heard the conversation between the two civilians just now. The salt sellers in Beifeng City have been controlled by Xiyang City, and the linen business is the same. They are all shops opened by Xiyang City. .

Now the civilians in Beifeng City heard that the goods were from Xiyang City, and they desperately snapped up the goods. They were cheap and of good quality, and the market was already full of goods produced in Xiyang City.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, clothing and food are controlled by Xiyang City, if the wheat business is not controlled by the city lord, maybe this Beifeng City is the city lord of Xiyang.

This is also one of the reasons why the Lord of Beifeng City hates Xiyang City so much now. Apart from jealousy, he hates Xiyang City for meddling in the affairs of Beifeng City.

If it weren't for the fear of Xiyang City's military strength, perhaps the salt shop, linen shop, restaurant, etc. had all been swallowed up by the Lord of Beifeng City.

Chapter 0557 Darlene arrived.

"Clatter..."

On the Youshui River, hundreds of boats are advancing. The leading boat is more than 30 boats, and the boats are full of people and victims. Behind them are seven or eight boats led by the Lord Beifeng. They met Niu Da on the way. Waiting for the rescue ship.

"It's here, it's finally here." Xilan looked at the port in the distance and shouted excitedly, "Sister Avery, look, the port of Xiyang City has arrived."

She has to calculate the food consumption every day these days, which makes her nerves tense.

"Yes." Avery's orange eyes have thick dark circles. She hasn't slept well in the past five days. She is either patrolling or on the way to patrol, for fear that the victims will riot. Once there is a riot on board, it means that the ship is about to sink.

"The population should be enough this time." Niu Da turned his head and looked at the victims with their heads stretched out. They all stood on tiptoes and looked towards the direction of the port.

These days, they have instilled in the victims how good Xiyang City is and how the benefits are. They almost blow Xiyang City up to the sky, which arouses great expectations from the victims.

"Gaba, go make another inspection, and tell the victims not to mess up. Don't mess up at this time." Avery told the bear-eared wolf in a deep voice.

"Yes, I understand." Gaba replied in a deep voice, and turned her head to lead the veteran into the cabin. This 50-meter-long ship, nothing can happen.

"Wow, that port is so big, is Xiyang City in front of it? Isn't this too powerful?"

"Are we going to live here in the future?"

"Can we really have enough to eat every day? And a new house to live in? It won't be a lie to us, right?"

"You'll know when we arrive, our home is gone anyway."

"..."

The victims all started talking about it, for fear that what they heard before was false. After all, they are so far away from home, so they will inevitably feel panic.

"Everyone, please rest assured that Xiyang City will not treat you badly. As long as you work hard, you can have new houses and new clothes." Niu Da turned his head and shouted to the victims, he was also afraid of accidents at the last minute.

"Master Niu, please don't worry, I will restrain everyone." Taki said in a low voice beside Niu Da, he knew what Niu Da and others were worried about.

"Wait a minute, come with me to see the Lord City Master." Niu Da said softly, he thinks that Taki is a talent, especially in these days, he has helped him a lot.
