"…" All the commoners raised their heads and stared blankly at Liu Feng. They wondered if they had heard wrongly or if they were hallucinating.
Now, a catty of salt cost 30 copper coins. They had also heard that in other cities, a catty of salt cost 32 copper coins, and it was still rising.
Some traveling merchants brought news that Salt City had been attacked by pirates, causing more than half of the salt making tools to be destroyed. They no longer allowed salt to be supplied to the west.
But now, Liu Feng had announced that one catty of salt was only five copper coins. This was a huge loss.
"City Lord, are you saying that you can buy five copper coins per catty of salt?”A commoner mustered up his courage and shouted.
"Yes, you didn't hear wrongly. It's five copper coins per 500 grams of salt. Only people with an ID card can buy 500 grams of salt at a time.”Liu Feng took a step forward and shouted again. This was a good opportunity to increase his reputation. Otherwise, he could have just posted an announcement.
"Yay! That's great. I can afford salt now!"
"Long live the City Lord!”
The commoners shouted excitedly. To them, the city lord who could give them food, shelter, and good food had already risen to a god-like status in their hearts.
As for what kind of god it was, it depended on what the commoners needed. For example, if they suddenly wanted a son, they could bow to the castle and perhaps become a father.
This time, Bull Run did not arrange for anyone to shout in the crowd. It was completely the sincere feelings of the commoners.
What Liu Feng wanted was the hearts of the people. Only the hearts of the commoners would support him. Even if he did something stupid, they would blindly follow him. At that time, he would not be a noble, but he would be more like a noble.
Soon, the salt shop behind Liu Feng opened for business. The commoners obediently went to line up. This was also taught by the children who had studied at home. They said that a cultured and civilized person should not be like a dog that pounced on a bone when it saw it.
The lives of the commoners were getting better and better. Who would be willing to be called a dog, and a dog that ate sh * t?
Just like that, a person squeezed through the crowd and rushed inside.
"Hey, hey, didn't your child teach you to line up when buying things? Are you in a hurry to eat sh * t?”
Someone in the group shouted loudly. They did not even think about what they were going to buy. They were really careless.
"I didn't teach my child?" The man's expression changed. He didn't even buy the salt. He turned his head and walked out. As he walked, he muttered," You itchy bear child. You actually embarrassed me. I'll teach you a lesson when I get back."”
Most of the children of the commoners were sent to school. When they returned home, they would teach their families something. This was also Liu Feng's request.
After Liu Feng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to ask who was so powerful that he could cheat his father? He remembered that he taught them to be civilized and not to throw rubbish everywhere, not to find a corner to pee like a dog, not to throw rubbish after eating...
" The education industry has a long way to go. We have to let them establish the core values of the city lord, cough…"
Liu Feng coughed lightly and felt that it was necessary to go back and compile some teaching materials. Otherwise, such a funny thing would still happen.
He watched as the civilians went in with their ID cards to buy green salt. Everyone was very happy to buy salt. Some people tore open paper bags and stuffed their fingers into their mouths with salt.
" It's really salt, it's salt!!!"
The salt in the salt shop was packed in paper bags. There were two types of bags. One was a small paper bag with one tael of salt, and the other was a large paper bag with one catty of salt.
Outside the crowd, Ying Ya stood there in a daze. His eyes were lifeless as he looked at the long line of people who were buying salt. Especially when a few people were holding salt and 'whistling' past him. Their gloating expressions made his heart sink to his stomach.
Ying Ya had originally planned to stroll around the market to see what he could buy, but he saw the judgment that made him despair.
He was done for. He had to lose all of his assets. He hadn't even sold one-third of the salt that had just been shipped over. Now, it was five copper coins per catty. This was going to bankrupt him.
The cost price was 10 copper coins. Ying Ya couldn't possibly sell it for 5 copper coins. He was just making money out of it.
"What should we do? Are we leaving Xiyang City?" Ying Ya could only think of this method. Could it be that he was going to play a conspiracy with the City Lord? This was simply courting death.
"Sigh! We can only leave."
Ying Ya's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He had seen the changes in Xiyang City. This place would definitely develop greatly in the future. He had originally planned to stay in Xiyang City for his retirement after selling all the salt, or find another business to do.
"What a pity! I'm leaving now. I have to buy a house first. Otherwise…it'll be too late.”
Ying Ya left with his salt carts. He decided to sell the salt at a low price and then return to retire or do other businesses. He could not touch the salt business at all.
He didn't know where the City Lord got the cheap salt from, and he didn't want to know now. He had seen the City Lord's ability, so he definitely wouldn't lose money.
Ying Ya's departure didn't cause any commotion at all. Many people didn't even know that he had left.
Viya quietly looked at the excited civilians around her and suddenly realized that humans were not that scary. They would also worry about food and drink, no different from orcs.
However, the humans in this city were all different. There was no feeling of superiority among the commoners in other cities. She knew that all of this was done by the noble on the stage.
An Li hugged Weiya's waist and tried her best to look in the direction of the high platform. She turned to look at the rabbit eared girl who was in a daze. The corners of her mouth curled up into an evil smile as she leaned close to Weiya's ear and whispered," Weiya, let me tell you something!”
"What is it?"
An Li's brown eyes turned, and her eyes were filled with a smile." The clothes you're wearing are Young Master's. He's even worn them before!"”
" W-What did you say?"
Weiya's body stiffened, and her face was flushed red. Her bunny ears stood up, and she turned her head slowly toward An Li. Her light red eyes were misty, and her lips trembled as she said," An Li, you're joking, right?”
"No, it's true. The clothes you wore last night were also Young Master's! It's a close-fitting one!"
" Sticking, sticking, sticking close???"
"Hey, hey, don't faint, oh my god…the silly rabbit actually fainted from embarrassment!!!”
