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

Bafu, about fifty years old, is one of the few people in Xiyang City who can read words. He came to the board and read it silently, then his eyes widened and he said, "120 copper coins?"

"What 120 copper coins? Mr. Buff, please read it."

"Cough cough cough..."

Bafu returned to his senses slightly and read aloud, "The City Lord's Mansion is now recruiting three clerks who can read and write. After the interview is successful, the monthly salary is 120 copper coins. Those who are interested can now go to the City Lord's Mansion for an interview."

"Experienced hunters, aged 16 to 30, are limited to 50 people. Those who pass the test after three days will receive a monthly salary of 100 copper coins."

"We recruit people who are physically strong and have no bad habits. From 16 to 30 years old, there are only 100 people. After passing the interview three days later, the monthly salary is 80 copper coins."

"The above two are all requirements for joining the army. If you are interested, please take the test in front of the city lord's mansion three days later."

As soon as Buff finished reading, everyone present was stunned, and then a strong clamor broke out.

"Is this a lie? You actually get 80 copper coins a month in the army?"

"Yes, the hunter actually has 100 copper coins, which is too exaggerated."

"The last city lord joined the army with only 50 copper coins for a month. Is this new city lord very rich?"

In this world, if people go to help work, the average monthly salary is only 40 to 50 copper coins, and most of them join the army at 50 copper coins.

A family of three, with a monthly salary of 60 copper coins, can barely support the family. After all, the coarse wheat in Xiyang City is 2 copper coins per pound, plus wild vegetables, which is barely enough to feed the family.

And now, Liu Feng's monthly salary for recruiting soldiers is directly as high as 80 copper coins, which is [-]% of the salary, and many people immediately became excited.

This is one of Liu Feng's strategies. There must be a brave man with a lot of money.

Chapter 0009 scares people's taxes.

How about the others, Buff doesn't know, and doesn't want to know, the document with a salary of 120 copper coins is really tempting.

He used to be a teacher in Xiyang City, but most of the people in Xiyang City could not have enough to eat, and there was money to read and write.

Therefore, he was very poor, and now he has a high-paying job of 120 copper coins in front of him, and he is moved.

Buff squeezed out of the crowd, tidied up his clothes, and went to the City Lord's Mansion. He wanted to be the first to apply for the job, so as not to be robbed first.

Liu Feng was standing inside the gate of the castle. He stared at the tumultuous crowd and couldn't help chuckling, "It's a good start."

He also saw Buff coming over, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and brought him back to the castle.

Liu Feng took a seat in the main seat of the living room, looked at the old book that was a little nervous in front of him, and asked, "Are you here to apply for the essay?"

"Yes, yes." Buff replied nervously, can he not be nervous, the young man in front of him is the only noble city lord of Xiyang City.

"Don't be nervous, sit down!" Liu Feng waved his hand and asked after the other party sat down, "The clerical work is to assist me in managing Xiyang City and the affairs of the territory."

"Yes!" Buff nodded quickly.

"Tell me about the situation in Xiyang City." Liu Feng said indifferently.

"Yes!" Buff hurriedly stood up and respectfully told everything he knew.

The more Liu Feng listened, the more his brows wrinkled. This time, the wrinkling could kill a fly, which is simply appalling.

The entire Xiyang City is basically a slum, the existence of refugee camps, and what makes them like this is abnormal taxation.

There are hundreds of unscrupulous taxes in Xiyang City, such as the entry fee, each time you enter the city, you need to pay a copper coin.

This has led to many people moving out of Xiyang City to live, or returning to Xiyang City only once in several days. The people would rather live in a wheat field than waste a copper coin.

What about the toll tax, childbirth tax, wheat toll tax, daughter-in-law tax... Anyway, several city lords and nobles changed their ways to exploit the people.

Buff is now trembling all over. He looks at Liu Feng who is displeased, and now he regrets applying for the essay.

If he is asked to be responsible for the tax in the future, he will quit his job immediately, or he will be scolded by his friends and neighbors to death.

Liu Feng calmed down, looked at the sweaty Buff, and said calmly, "Starting today, get rid of these miscellaneous taxes and leave a few basic taxes."

"Ah?" Buff's eyes widened, staring blankly at Liu Feng, he suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.

Liu Feng took out two rolls of sheepskin and quickly wrote on them. The first volume was the notice to remove some unscrupulous taxes; the other was the proof of Buff's appointment.

"Here, put this roll of notice on the wooden board outside, and you will come to work tomorrow." Liu Feng handed the two rolls of sheepskin to Buff and let him go out.

Liu Feng looked at Buff who was leaving, and couldn't help sighing, "Such absurdly extortionate taxes and miscellaneous taxes, these people actually didn't object. That old man Carter is really lucky."

"You are indeed different from ordinary nobles."

Suddenly, a crisp female voice came from the side, which made Liu Feng startled, and turned to look at Mina, who was standing silently by the side.

"Can you walk with some noise?" Liu Feng rolled his eyes and asked.

"This is the instinct of the great cat warrior, but it cannot be changed." Mina said lightly.

"A city lord, if he can't feed the people under his rule, he is not a qualified city lord." Liu Feng said with emotion.

Mina remembered what she said when she first met Liu Feng: In this life, you can have nothing, but you can't starve.

She was silent. She had always been hungry since she was a child. For this sentence, she agrees the most.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Liu Feng asked curiously. He remembered that in the beginning, the cat ears were not friendly to him, but now she is here?Although it is hard to play, this attitude has become too fast.

"It's up to you!" Mina wrinkled Qiong's nose, shook her ears, and walked away with her hips twisted.
