Now, Cater and Fess felt as if they had been knocked over by hot and sour noodles. They were sour and spicy. The two of them stood in the middle of the main street of the big market and looked at the surging crowd in a daze.
Everyone was nervous and happy. They were all holding something in their hands. They were all talking and laughing. Some of them were tired and were resting on the chairs by the roadside. They were even eating snacks in their hands.
Ka Te's expression was ferocious. He wasn't a fool. Anyone who knew a little about business could see huge profits in this big market.
And all of this was given up by Kate. It originally belonged to him. The future prospects of this bustling market could be imagined.
He wanted to take back everything. Ka Te didn't think about how this big market came about, or why he had been a noble for so many years but hadn't created a big market.
Who would think about this? Ka Te spat on the other party's face. He only wanted the results. He had to take back the territory. He had to take it back.
"All of this belongs to me, mine.”Ka Te's expression was ferocious. He raised his hand and clenched it in the air, as if he wanted to grasp the entire market.
As long as he had a big market, he could live even better than an earl. As long as he could take back his territory, he would move into the big market and watch the money enter the warehouse every day.
If they wanted to eat or use anything, they could just take it from the market. They would definitely give it to a king, cough, or even an earl.
Fess looked at the slightly crazy Kate and asked worriedly," Father, are you alright?”
" Phew…" Ka Te took a deep breath and said calmly," Go and prepare immediately. We are going to visit Baron Liu Feng."”
"Ah?" Fess was dumbfounded. He looked at Cater blankly. This decision was a bit too sudden. He said anxiously," No, Father, why do you want to visit him?”
"Pa! Idiot!"
Caite raised his hand and slapped Fess on the face." Do you see the situation now?" This territory must be taken back, no matter what.”
"…" Fess covered his face and shrunk his neck slightly. He hadn't been beaten for many years. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Liu Feng and the others walking out not far away.
"Father, look, Liu Feng is over there.”Fess tugged at Kate's clothes and pointed in a direction.
"Don't expose yourself. Now is not the time to see him.”Caite pressed down on Fess 'face.
The two of them suddenly turned to look in another direction, pretending to point at each other from time to time.
"Is it an illusion?" Mi Na muttered to herself. She turned her head and saw that there were people everywhere. She had felt that someone was spying on her.
An Li saw Mi Na's strange expression and asked with concern," What's wrong?”
Mi Na shook her head. She moved even closer to Liu Feng, her eyes filled with sharpness as she glanced around from time to time, causing many people to not dare to look her in the eye.
"Alright, if you continue to watch like this, your eyes will be sore.”
Liu Feng raised his hand and patted the cat-eared girl's little head. He chuckled and said," It's alright. Zhan Lang and the others are in the crowd.”
Tori blinked his eyes in a daze. What was a war wolf? There was a wolf in the crowd? Or was it a werewolf orc?
"Yes, yes!" Mi Na's face was slightly red. Her slender fingers moved nimbly, and the military knife in her hand was quietly hidden.
Liu Feng comforted Mi Na and turned to ask," Mr. Tori, how are you feeling today?”
"Good, this is great. I've only felt happy today in my life.”
Tori said excitedly," This big market is the best place I've ever seen. Unfortunately, North Wind City doesn't have such a place.”
These words made Nicole, who was behind him, curl her lips. Not to mention Northwind City, even Princess Lucy's 'Romance Notes of a Noble Girl' did not have any records of a large market.
"Then you can come here often, or you can open a shop here.”Liu Feng smiled slightly. Some things in the big market could be replicated, but it was difficult to coordinate the core aspects. Otherwise, they would only suffer losses.
Just the construction alone required a large amount of money. Liu Feng had cement, people, and courage, so the investment cost was not large.
"Can we really open a shop here?" When Tori heard this, he said in disbelief," Lord Liu Feng, you can't be joking, right?”
Liu Feng shook his head and said seriously," No, no, I'm serious. You saw it inside. Many shops are closed. You can rent them out. Remember to pay the rent and taxes every year.”
His ultimate goal was to collect taxes. This was the only thing that was fundamental. Anyone who did business had to pay taxes, regardless of whether they were nobles or not.
"Taxes? Do nobles have to pay too?" Tory frowned. It wasn't that there weren't cases of nobles paying taxes to nobles, but those of the same rank rarely mentioned taxes.
"Of course, in my territory, no matter who does business, they have to pay taxes.”Liu Feng said seriously.
"I understand. I'll go back and discuss it with Father.”Tori said seriously.
He did not dare to agree easily. This was a matter of the noble's face. It was not something he could agree to.
"Let's go. I'm tired today. I should go back and rest.”Liu Feng stretched and led the way out.
When they arrived at the market, Tory was distressed. He had bought too many things and did not bring a carriage.
"The carriage over there, here, here!”Suddenly, someone shouted from the side, shouting at a row of carriages parked not far away.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
Soon, the first carriage was driven over by the coachman. He said to the man," Sir, where are you going?”
The carriage was a flatbed carriage with a board at the back with the words 'limited to four people' written on it.
" North of the city..." The man said the name of the place, climbed onto the carriage, and handed over two steel coins.
The carriage left very quickly, leaving behind a dumbfounded Tory, especially when he heard the word 'guest'. He turned to look at Liu Feng." Lord Liu Feng, wasn't that person's carriage just now?”
"Of course not. That row of carriages, including the one just now, all belong to the City Lord's Estate.”Liu Feng looked at the departing carriage and chuckled." That's for better travel. The City Lord's Estate has lent out some idle carriages to make it easier for the commoners to move around. As long as they are in Xiyang City, they will be given two steel coins to board the carriage.”
"This…this is too unbelievable. Why hasn't anyone thought of this for so many years?”Tory opened his mouth, not knowing what to do.
Liu Feng smiled. It wasn't that no one had thought of it, but that no one was willing to do it. Only those aristocrats who owned horses disdained such a small amount of money.
Moreover, there was no smaller currency. Traveling in the same city cost one copper coin per ride, and no commoners were willing to take it.
"Lord Liu Feng, you are truly a genius. You should go to the capital and let you take the position of minister.”Tory said exaggeratedly.
Liu Feng only smiled at such praise.
A golden nest or a silver nest was not as good as his own broken nest. Moreover, the current Xiyang City was not inferior to other places. He believed that in the near future, Xiyang City would be the golden nest that the whole world envied.
