Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

The chief knight leader standing behind him was secretly surprised. This Liu Feng is really not simple, he is very aristocratic, and he will not look down on his own city lord like some nobles.

"Please sit down." Liu Feng raised his hand to signal.

"Please." Hana waited for Liu Feng to sit down before agreeing to sit down. He kept some etiquette in mind.

After Hana sat down, he took a wooden box from the chief knight commander, opened it and pushed it in Liu Feng's direction, "This is a small gesture."

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, looked at the thumb-sized blue gemstone in the wooden box, and said calmly, "Your Excellency Hana, this gift is a bit expensive."

The color and size of this sapphire is worth hundreds of gold coins at least. Considering the other party's wealth, it is considered a big deal.

"Your Excellency Liu Feng, please be sure to accept it." Hana quickly bowed his head and begged, and he only had the value of this sapphire passed down from his ancestors.

Liu Feng understood what the other party meant, and it was not because he was afraid that he would not agree to some requests from the other party, and used this sapphire to increase his bargaining chips.

Anyway, he was also thinking about the other party's iron ore, so he was not ashamed, and signaled to Nicole to accept it. He would not delay, and he would be busy today, and the other party had been left hanging by him for so many days.

"Your Excellency Hana, I heard that you have something to talk to me about?" Liu Feng picked up the tea made by Nicole.

"Huh..." Hana breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little nervous, but fortunately the other party accepted it, and said quickly, "I want to cooperate with Your Excellency Liu Feng."

"Cooperation? Which aspect?" Liu Feng asked knowingly, he was not in a hurry, everything was under control.

"Your Excellency Liu Feng, I want to buy some goods from Xiyang City, as well as salt." Hana said that the focus of today is salt.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised, "Salt? Other goods are fine, but for salt, there are not many stocks in the city."

If buying and selling goods, the other party sold the sapphire, which is enough to buy some goods back. It turned out that the other party still had the idea of ​​playing salt.

He paused, glanced at Sapphire, and said calmly, "And, as far as I know, Chitu City seems to have a big financial problem, right?"

"I have iron ore." Hana said with a serious face. He did have the idea of ​​salt. It can be said that the land in the west is short of salt, and pirates are rampant by the sea, and there is no salt coming to the inland.

He took the sapphire to increase some bargaining chips for the salt, and the iron ore was the price tag.

Chapter 0625 competitors.

"Iron ore?" Liu Feng pretended to be surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much?"

"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.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

"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 food.

"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.
