"Chirp chirp…"
The birds cheered loudly. The morning after the rain was bright and the air was much fresher.
Liu Feng slowly opened his eyes and looked around with his sleepy eyes. It was best to sleep on rainy days.
"Gagji…"
The door was pushed open. Nicole brought a maid in with a glass of water. After leaving Nicole behind, the other maids went out.
"Good morning, Young Master!" Nicole bowed.
"Good morning, Little Nicole." Liu Feng yawned as he got up and walked to the basin. Before he could do anything, a towel gently wiped his face.
Now, Liu Feng had completely fallen. In the past, he even washed his face himself. Now, he had Nicole do it for him. In Nicole's words, the young master was a true noble. He should not worry about these miscellaneous matters. He should just leave them to her.
Liu Feng had wanted to retort, but Nicole's teary expression made her look like an abandoned kitten. She said that it was a dereliction of duty for her servants to let the nobles handle such trivial matters.
Every time he thought of this, Liu Feng would want to say that the nobles of this world, other than enjoying themselves, were on the road of enjoyment. Then, they would think of ways to enjoy themselves. He could only do as the locals did.
"How are their preparations?" Liu Feng asked lazily.
Nicole knew that the young master was asking about Mi Na and An Li. She replied gently," They left the city last night. Mi Na only came back around four in the morning.”
"Oh? An Li didn't come back with us?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. This was beyond his expectations.
"No, An Li seems to want to enter the city with her companions.”Nicole said as she tidied Liu Feng's clothes.
"Alright, let's witness it together." Liu Feng stretched and walked to the dining room. After breakfast, he was going to start today's revolution.
When Liu Feng finished his breakfast and arrived at the square outside the castle, it was already an hour later.
A platform had been set up overnight in the square. Although it was very simple, there was still a gallows.
In front of the gallows, there was a platform. This was originally there, and it was the place where the lord used to make a speech.
At this moment, nearly 3,000 commoners had gathered in the square. The commoners who had been outside the city had also entered the city in the past few days.
The commoners were all discussing animatedly as they waited for Liu Feng's speech. They were no longer like before, asking the City Lord to send someone to drive them away to listen to the speech.
As soon as Liu Feng's announcement was made, they spontaneously came to listen to the speech. With such a good City Lord, they couldn't wait to love him.
By the time Liu Feng ascended the platform, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning. He looked at the surging heads below. The various colors of hair and eyes made him a little nervous.
After coming to this world for more than a month, Liu Feng realized that he was the only one with black hair and black eyes. The others either had black hair with green eyes or yellow hair with black eyes…
Mi Na stood beside Liu Feng. Her slender fingers were holding a few military sabers under her sleeves. Her eyes were sharp as she scanned the surroundings. She would swing her military saber at any actions that harmed the young master.
Even though the Battle Wolves Special Forces had already set up a perimeter around the area, Mi Na did not dare to relax. Her young master was her and An Li's hope.
Liu Feng raised his hand and pressed on the air. The commoners who were discussing below all quieted down and obediently waited to listen.
"My subjects, I am your lord, Baron Liu Feng, the lord of Xiyang City. I have gathered everyone here today because I have three things to announce.”
Liu Feng was a little nervous at the beginning, but after he started, he immediately got into the mood.
"Everyone should know what happened a few days ago. Those unscrupulous grain merchants took advantage of the autumn harvest to raise the price of wheat by several copper coins and harvest everyone's copper coins without restraint.”
"Even if everyone will starve to death, the unscrupulous grain merchants will still continue to raise the price of wheat. They care about their own copper coins and don't care about everyone's life or death.”
At this point, Liu Feng looked at the people below who were filled with hatred and knew that the atmosphere he wanted had been achieved.
"Everyone knows that because I want to change Xiyang City, I'm recruiting everyone to help me. Because the City Lord's Estate doesn't have many copper coins and only has some remaining wheat, I can only give the wheat to everyone as salary.”
As soon as he said this, many civilians cheered.
"My lord is a good noble!"
"We like a city lord like you.”
"Lord Liu Feng, rest assured and leave the work to us. Whoever slacks off will be beaten to death.”
Liu Feng looked at the excited commoners and knew that it was time to serve the main course. After waving his hand to calm everyone down, he said in a low voice," Just because everyone can receive wheat as salary from me, those unscrupulous grain merchants can't sell their high-priced wheat. They blame everything on me.”
" Furthermore, such a black-hearted grain merchant actually wanted to murder a noble and make everyone lose their jobs. Then, they could go to them to buy high-priced wheat, which costs six copper coins per catty.”
Cries of surprise rang out in the crowd. Everyone had a deep impression of the high price of wheat. Six copper coins for a catty of wheat was not enough for many families to eat for a few days.
"What is it? They actually dared to murder a noble, and such a good noble like the city lord?？？”
"Detestable, black-hearted grain merchant, actually daring to murder Lord Liu Feng, too detestable.”
"Sir, hang those grain merchants and let them be punished. Dig out their black hearts and let the wild dogs devour them.”
"Yes! Hang them."
"Hang them!"
The commoners shouted in unison. Niu Ben, who was at the side, gestured to the people below. Immediately, six grain merchants, who were covered in black cloth bags, were brought to the gallows.
Liu Feng wanted to use a public execution method to establish the dignity of the City Lord.
