Bafu left with deep doubts. He was getting more and more confused by the City Lord's actions.
Was there really a noble who was willing to sacrifice so much for the commoners? Bafu had been to several cities, but he had never seen such a noble.
He had only met a few kind-hearted noble women who would give some wheat bread that was as hard as wood to the starving civilians in the city.
Looking at the things recorded on the scroll, as long as you work for the City Lord, you can get a pound of wheat or a day's worth of food.
Wasn't this helping the civilians of Xiyang City? Could it be that the City Lord knew how despicable those grain merchants were? However, such relief would make the city lord bankrupt.
Work for the City Lord? There were still 20 days before the autumn harvest. Other than harvesting the wheat, there was no other work to be done.
Beneath the scroll, Bafu also saw some strange notices. It was that the city lord was going to re-plan Xiyang City and would take over several areas of the house. After demolishing and rebuilding, he could give a new house to the owner of the original address. The size would be calculated according to the land.
If they were willing to sell their Lands, the City Lord's Mansion could purchase them for 20 Copper per square meter.
Bafu couldn't understand this point. After demolishing those dilapidated houses, he actually gave them a new house after rebuilding them. This was probably why everyone was fighting to give the old house to the city lord.
As for the person who sold the land, Bafu couldn't think of anyone who would be so idiotic. One square meter cost 20 copper coins. A house in the city now cost more than 30 copper coins per square meter. A family could only buy a few square meters after working for a month.
It was an old house to begin with. After rebuilding it, they could have a new house. Such a good thing could not be found even with lanterns.
The more Bafu looked at it, the more he wanted to go back and tell the city lord to take back these orders. This would be too disadvantageous. However, when he thought about how he was only a commoner, he did not have the guts to question anything.
"Sigh, I hope that the City Lord's decision will not be wrong. Such a good City Lord is already hard to find.”Bafu left with the scroll.
Nicole had the same doubts. She looked at Bafu who was leaving and placed the snacks in her hands on the desk. The document was written by Liu Feng.
"Young Master, according to your request, the gold coins in the palace treasury won't last long.”Nicole voiced out the doubts in her heart.
Liu Feng chuckled." Why? Do you think I'm at a disadvantage too?"”
" This…" Nicole hesitated for a moment before nodding her head gently." Young Master, if you help everyone rebuild their houses for free and give everyone wheat to eat, you will definitely suffer.”
" Hahaha…" Liu Feng laughed instead. He took out a drawing from the drawer and placed it in front of Nicole." Take a look at this drawing first."”
Nicole curiously took the blueprint. Her eyes immediately widened and her mouth formed an 'O' shape.
It was a beautiful city with wide streets and two-story houses. There were trees on both sides of the road, which were very orderly.
"Young, Young Master, is this the city you want to rebuild?”Nicole was a little surprised.
Liu Feng nodded affirmatively and smiled." Yes, those two-story buildings have more than one house. Building one can be exchanged for several pieces of land, so we won't suffer a loss at all. The extra houses can be sold.”
"Moreover, building these houses requires labor. I can pay the wheat as a salary or buy a day's worth of food. That way, the grain merchants won't be able to sell their wheat.”
"Of course, the premise is that the wheat can be successfully transported back from other cities tomorrow. Otherwise, this plan will have to be postponed for a few days.”
Liu Feng's method was a common method used by real estate companies on Earth. For example, if you had a piece of land, you didn't have the money to build a house, but you didn't want to sell the land.
Then, the developer would help you build a house. The house that the developer wanted to build would be a 20 - 30-story building. Five of the floors would be given to you, while the rest would belong to the developer.
Nicole understood. She knew about the miraculous cement. Thinking of it this way, she could kill several birds with one arrow. She had only paid wheat or food as a salary, but she had received a change in Xiyang City.
They had many new houses, and more importantly, they had dealt a blow to the grain merchants. Moreover, the civilians would not starve to death. They could obtain food through labor and have new houses.
Based on the number of people in Xiyang City, with nearly 2,000 people working together, with cement, it would not take long for many houses to be built.
"Young Master, you, you're really amazing.”Nicole was so excited that her face turned red. Her chest heaved up and down, and her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Liu Feng in a daze.
A capable man was like a strong magnet to girls, especially attractive.
" Cough, cough, cough…" Liu Feng felt the strange look in the cat-eared girl's eyes and coughed lightly.
" Ah…" Nicole snapped back to her senses. She shyly covered her face and fled. She was actually smitten.
Liu Feng shook his head with a smile. He turned to look at the quiet Mi Na and asked," You seem a little off today. Are you worried about the orcs that appeared in the forest?"”
" Ah... this, that..." Mina stammered. She was indeed worried about the orcs, which reminded her of An Li.
Although she thought that An Li should be on her way to the south with the orcs, she was afraid that An Li might not be there. She wanted to confirm the orcs that had suddenly appeared.
However, Mi Na was also afraid that Liu Feng would misunderstand that she was the one who lured those Beastmen here. She did not know why, but she did not want Liu Feng to misunderstand her.
"Go. This is your forever home. Just remember to come back.”Liu Feng smiled gently.
"I'll be back tonight!" Mi Na swayed her butt and tail as she walked out of the door with a charming smile on her face.
"There's no other place with such a good City Lord!!!”
