Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord.

"This..." Hana was stunned, and said hesitantly, "There are probably tens of thousands of catties of iron ore."

This is the iron ore that he had asked people to dig before, and some of it was used for iron smelting. When he found that the investment was not proportional to the income, there was no iron smelting left.

"Too little." Liu Feng shook his head, tens of thousands of catties of iron ore seemed to be a lot, but it was a stone, which was already heavy.

"We can dig again," Hana said eagerly.

"Don't be in a hurry." Liu Feng waved his hand gently, and said with a light smile, "I don't need to say how important salt is. Just some goods, you can't get a little iron ore."

"..." Hana was silent, he knew what Liu Feng said was right.

"How many people are there in Your Excellency's Chitu City?" Liu Feng asked.

"There are about three or four thousand people." Hana answered honestly, looking at Liu Feng suspiciously, not knowing what to ask this question for.

"How about this, I'll help someone to teach you how to mine, and I'll invest in building a huge iron smelting workshop, and your Excellency will provide me with iron ore for iron smelting."

Liu Feng took a sip of tea, and then said, "According to the iron ore you gave me, I will use the goods and part of the salt as salary, how about that?"

"Does Your Excellency Liu Feng want to smelt iron near Chitu City?" Hana asked in amazement, which he did not expect.

"Yes, after all, it took too much effort to transport the iron ore back." Liu Feng said indifferently.

He has iron-making technology, as well as advanced steel-making technology, which can be regarded as preparation for the future steel revolution. After all, trains, armies, buildings, etc. need too much steel.

"I agree." Hana quickly agreed, the iron ore is now a hot potato in his hands, and it is still thankless.

There are quite a few nobles who have the same idea as Hana. Except for some big nobles, they have money to invest in iron ore, and spend a lot of money to build a team of well-equipped knights.

The little nobles found iron ore, that is a piece of chicken ribs, and they will lose money if they develop it, and they feel unwilling if they don't develop it.

"After the banquet tonight, I will send someone to take you to pick the first batch of goods." Liu Feng said with a smile on his lips.

The other party is now equivalent to working for him, that is, the most tiring work of mining is covered by Chitucheng. He only needs to pay some goods, which is a win-win situation for both parties.

"Okay." Hana replied with a smile on her face. Things went very smoothly, which made him feel that these days were not in vain.

"I've already set up a banquet. Your Excellency, please move." Liu Feng stood up and said.

"I have heard for a long time that the food in Liu Feng's castle is first-class delicacy. I must try it this time." Hana said with a smile on his face.

He solved the predicament for Chitu City, and now he is indescribably happy.

"Then eat more." Liu Feng took the lead and walked in front, and the cat-eared lady gave a subtle gesture.

This is a secret signal, there is one more protagonist tonight, and that is Pichu, a big businessman in the east.

Liu Feng took Hana to the restaurant, and before he arrived, he heard voices in the restaurant, Pichu had already been invited to the banquet first.

"Ta Tata..."

"Huh?" Hana stared in astonishment at the person in front of the dining table. He knew this person, and he was one of the top five businessmen in Xiyang City.

"I have met Lord Liu Feng." Pichu quickly saluted, he is not a nobleman, even if he is already richer than some earls, but some etiquette is indispensable.

"I kept Mr. Piqiu waiting for a long time." Liu Feng smiled lightly and introduced, "The one next to me is the Lord Hana."

"I have met Master Hana." Pichu hastily saluted again.

"Mr. Pichu." Hana also bowed back.

"Let's all sit down." Liu Feng took the lead in the main seat, turned to Nicole and said, "Let the back chef start serving the dishes."

"Yes." Nicole said respectfully, and immediately arranged for the maid to serve the dishes.

"Mr. Piqiu, I heard that you are a big businessman in the east. What kind of business do you run?" Liu Feng asked first.

"Ah?" Pichu was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Feng to be so direct, he thought it would take a long time.

In less than two seconds, he thought about many possibilities, but he replied honestly, "I mainly deal in fabrics and some ceramics."

"So, what do you want from me?" Liu Feng looked at the dishes being served one after another, he didn't want to waste too much time.

"Goods, and salt." Pichu said with a serious face.

"You want salt too?" Liu Feng smiled, and glanced meaningfully at Hana who was stunned beside him.

"Could it be?" Pichu was not stupid, and immediately knew from the words that Hana who was opposite him was also here to ask for salt.

Now, he was in a hurry. Although the cargo was heavy, it was not as absolutely important as salt.

"I don't have much salt left in my inventory, so it's a bit difficult to handle now." Liu Feng said a little distressed.

This is why he brought Hana and Pichu together, that is to show the importance of salt and put pressure on them.

In fact, it is to put pressure on Pichu, but Hana is not very important, because the other party can only be a vassal to him now, but Pichu is different.

"This...Master Liu Feng, I can buy it at an extra price of [-]%." Piqiu said urgently.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at this item first." Liu Feng signaled Anli to give Pichu a copy of the agency agreement.

"Okay." Pichu quickly took the agreement with both hands, and at this time the dishes were also served.

"Eat first, Mr. Piqiu can take it back to see." Liu Feng said softly, some things can't be rushed, he believes that the other party will sign, after all this time, he hooked the salt together.

To be honest, the biggest beneficiary of the pirates blocking the coastline this time is Liu Feng, who gave him the technology to refine non-toxic mineral salt.

"Okay." Pichu could only suppress his anxiety, but he couldn't feel at ease while eating delicious food.
