Be the Mayor From Today

"Okay!" An Li took over the documents, and it was up to her to keep up with the progress. The more she helped the young master handle government affairs, the more she realized how big the young master's layout was.

"There are still too few people!" Liu Feng turned around, looked out the window, and sighed, "It would be great if you gave me tens of thousands of people now!"

With tens of thousands of people, he can fully bloom, and the output of some goods can be doubled. It is not a dream to make money every day. The most important thing is that the surrounding cities will be affected by him, or they will depend on his city and embark on a rapid development. Road; or rest on your laurels and become barren landowners.

At that time, Liu Feng will not need a single soldier or a single soldier, and the surrounding cities will be dominated by him. This is an economic war.

If you think about it, there should be some city owners who can't sit still. Liu Feng's city has nearly 10,000 people. In this era, it is a big city with a population. Like the capital, there are only about 100,000 people.

"I know that there are a lot of people in one place." After Avril played a pair of A's, she suddenly turned her head and said, "However, they are all slaves, so many people should freeze to death now."

A trace of sadness flashed in Avili's eyes. She thought of the struggling slaves outside Blade's Edge City. In the past three days of heavy snow, many people must have been frozen to death.

But she knew that this was impossible. No city would take slaves so generously. No, there should be no nobles who would take in a large number of slaves in winter. For nobles, it meant that they had to pay a lot and get no return. wheat porridge.

If it is in the spring and summer, I am afraid that the more slaves the better, this represents free labor, and can help with a lot of work, as long as you pay for a bite, this is the most cost-effective business.

"Oh? Slave? Has the owner?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What's the price?"

If it is cheap, he can buy some slaves back, and then come up with a reward and punishment system, such as helping him work for a few years, he can restore the free people.

"It can be considered a master, but it doesn't cost money, as long as you can take them away." Avery said solemnly, and threw a big trump card, ending the fight against the landlord.

"What do you mean?" Liu Feng frowned, it sounded like the slave owner didn't care whether the slave lived or died.

"Blade's Edge City is a city of slavery. Some worthless civilians and orc slaves will be driven out of the city, and they will be left to fend for themselves. At most, they will only distribute a little wheat soup porridge." Avril gave a brief introduction. The situation in Blade's Edge City.

"How many people are there?" Liu Feng's black eyes flickered.

"There are about a thousand people, and they should have died in the past few days." Avery pursed her lips and said.

"A thousand people?" Liu Feng nodded, frowning and thinking, the number of a thousand people is quite a lot, and he is calculating the amount of wheat stored.

"..." Avril looked at Liu Feng with a bit of disappointment. Sure enough, no one would take in slaves for free? Don't these nobles know? Can slaves help out as long as they survive the winter?

But she was not qualified to say anything to blame, because the tragedy of slaves outside Blade's Edge City was caused by Diss, who was also an orc.

Chapter 0252 population is the biggest resource.

The study was very quiet, and everyone looked at Liu Feng who was frowning and thinking. They all knew what Liu Feng was planning now.

"An Li, if there are another 1,000 people in the territory, will they be able to afford it when the grain is harvested next year?" Liu Feng suddenly turned his head and asked An Li. Before making a decision, some specific values ​​should be consulted.

"Oh, I'll check it out." En Li nodded and quickly flipped through the notepad.

The daily food consumption of Xiyang City will be recorded, and then handed over once every three days. This is a special request by Liu Feng, so that the food changes in Xiyang City can be monitored. This can often be the first time to detect what is happening in Xiyang City. Variety.

Avril's orange eyes widened, she looked at Liu Feng, what's the situation now? Are you going to accept slaves from Blade's Edge City?

"Master, there are still seventeen granaries full." An Li flipped through the notepad and described the data, "And the large market has sold very little wheat these days, only about one-twentieth of what it used to be. Now the consumption of Xiyang City's population is calculated..."

An Li took out a pen and quickly calculated on the notepad. After a while, she said, "By the time of next year's grain harvest, five thousand more people can support it."

"Five thousand people?" Liu Feng frowned, this number made him dissatisfied, and said solemnly, "Have you removed the part of brewing?"

"It has been removed, and I also budgeted 10% of the emergency food." An Li said in a clear voice, this emergency food was taught to her by Liu Feng, to prepare for the war.

"Very good!" Liu Feng praised and fell into deep thought again. Originally, he prepared wheat grain for 15,000 people. The rations used are about 12,000 people.

Of course, the wheat that was originally harvested and stored by the civilians was not included, that is to say, Enri was calculated based on the consumption of civilians in the whole city.

This is also a safe calculation method. If civilians eat up all the wheat stored at home, they will go to the big market to buy wheat. This variable is calculated because they do not know how much wheat is stored in each household.

"Avery, what's the specific situation in that Blade's Edge City?"

Liu Feng looked at the wolf-eared girl with black eyes. He was going to set the population. Next year, 1,000 more people would open up the wasteland, and the amount of food that could be planted could feed tens of thousands of people.

In this era, the population is the biggest resource. Of course, for Liu Feng, too much population is a burden to other nobles, because the yield of food crops cannot increase... In addition to the usual greed and extravagance of the nobles For the enjoyment, most of the lowly civilians will starve to death.

No matter where you are, the people below are the most miserable people who are either starved to death, forced to work for free, or involved in war.

However, Liu Feng does not have this concern now. The current food in his territory is enough to feed ten or twenty thousand people. He will not be so short-sighted and only look at temporary gains and losses.

If a thousand slaves are added, by the spring of next year, the value created for him will be several times more than that of investing in wheat porridge in winter.

Moreover, as long as he insists on planting the rice, improved wheat seeds, and potatoes he brought from the earth next year, then another 100,000 people will be able to afford Liu Feng.

This era is really vast and sparsely populated, and people stay around the city. It seems that far away places are completely deserted. Even if the place is full of fertile land, no one has the courage to open up.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that there are more beasts in this era. For example, the places a little further away near Xiyang City are all wasteland. Next year, Liu Feng will open up wasteland, and all of this will require a large population.

"You, do you want those slaves?" Avery's orange eyes brightened.

"Why not?" Liu Feng raised the corners of his mouth and said with a light smile, "There is a shortage of people to grow wheat in many wastelands outside Xiyang City."

"This..." Avril turned her head to look at Enri, and after nodding her consent, she immediately started talking about what she saw in Blade's Edge City, especially about Dis, the former prince of the Karutu orc kingdom.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, looked at An Li, and asked suspiciously, "That Dies' relationship is not good with you?"

"It's not good, it can be said to be very bad." An Li spread her hands and said helplessly, "That disgusting guy Diess has been spying on my father's throne, if it weren't for my father's only remaining brother, he would have committed crimes. Some of the things that have already brought him to the gallows."

"That's good!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Feng's mouth. According to Avili, he guessed that Diess had been operating in Blade's Edge City for at least two years, and now he has even controlled the Lord of Blade's Edge City.

Devil fruit, in Liu Feng's opinion, is some kind of addictive drug, similar to opium. He didn't expect that someone in this era has already been infected with this "devil of desire".

Liu Feng took out a roll of maps from the drawer, spread it out and waved to Avery, saying, "Tell me the location of Blade's Edge City."

"Yes!" Avril got up immediately and came to the desk to watch carefully.

When she saw the map, Avril was stunned. The map was too detailed. The landscape roads in the area around Xiyang City were marked, just like the hill where she was hiding, which can also be seen on the map. arrive.

This map, but Liu Feng asked Niu Da's patrolling soldiers to record it, and the approximate distances are marked. Liu Feng plans to get a sand table model in the future.

"Here, roughly this area." Avery gestured on the map.

"Okay!" Liu Feng nodded. The place Avril pointed to was a general direction, and there was no careful marking on the map, which also showed that Xiyang City and Blade's Edge City had not been in contact.

"The location of Blade's Edge City is quite a distance from the Youshui River." Liu Feng held his chin and said slowly, "The first half of the journey can be taken by boat, and the second half of the journey has to be walked."

"This journey will take about a day." Avery said, "In addition to the time by boat, it will take two days."

"The question now is how to deal with Diess' pursuit."

Liu Feng tilted his head and considered that Blade's Edge City would definitely not let him take slaves in vain. If a thousand slaves moved, Blade's Edge City would definitely find out if they were not idiots.

Chapter 0253 Let's play a show.

Take away the slaves. If Blade's Edge City comes out to pursue them, there is no other way than sending soldiers to block them.
