Otherworld Management Manual

"Knight Marlowe, Lord City Lord... He hasn't come out yet?"

In the Red Leaf Castle, Caroline sat in the main seat and asked with a tired face.

"Yes ma'am, Lord City Lord has not been out for the past three days."

Knight Marlow stood respectfully below.

"Hey... Blanche, how is the implementation of the new policy? Did the public react violently?"

Blanche is the only remaining mayor in the original city hall.

She considered her words and replied:

"It's okay for the people to say that although the order to eat only one meal a day has aroused some people's dissatisfaction, most people can still understand it. After all, the situation in Hongye City can't be hidden, and many people are psychologically prepared. ,only…"

"Just what?"

Caroline had a bad feeling, but she still had to bite the bullet and ask.

"It's just that the merchants in Hongye City have already left for 30%. You know, the source of Hongye City's economy, in addition to the food grown, trade with other cities or villages is also an important part, perhaps because of the new policy. The reason is that these businessmen with a keen sense of smell are not optimistic about the future of Hongye City, so they have already evacuated in advance."

Blanche's tone was a little helpless, she paused, and said again:

"However, it's not too bad, because the evacuated merchants are all small merchants, and their ability to resist risks is poor, so they are naturally more cautious. Those big merchants still stay in Hongye City."

That's what she said, but Caroline knew that the stay of these big businessmen was temporary. If Hongye City couldn't recover and get on the right track, they would have to leave sooner or later.

If that time comes, then Hongye City will completely become an isolated city, losing the channel to communicate with the outside world, plus there is not enough food, it will definitely die.

"Are those merchants willing to lend us some gold coins or food?"

Although it is embarrassing for nobles to borrow money from merchants, in this case, there is no way to do it.

"Oh, those businessmen are more cunning than each other! On the surface, they are respectful, but when they ask about loans, they don't open their mouths. They always have excuses to shirk. I think they just don't like us, even if we are willing to outperform the market. They still don’t want to pay 30% of the price!”

Blanche's tone was a bit sarcastic. He didn't like those sly, blood-sucking businessmen at first, but now he hates them even more.

"In that case, why didn't those businessmen leave?"

Caroline doesn't know much about business, she asked with some doubts.

"Madam, they are just waiting for an opportunity. After all, we now have a new Lord Mayor, maybe Lord City Lord can help us get through this difficult time - this is their idea. Although the chance is small, it is worth a bet, they often say One of the sayings is 'in crisis there must be opportunity'."

"The new city owner..."

Caroline bit her lip, remorseful.

She always believed that the reason why Zhang Feng left the castle was because of her hesitation at the time, which angered the Lord of the City, causing the Lord of the City to "ignore political affairs".

In the absence of a city lord, she could only carry this burden alone, but it was obvious that this burden was a little too heavy.

"About the identity of the Lord of the City..."

"Reporting Madam, in the past three days, I have only found the Lord City Lord, that is, Baron Zhang Feng is from the east, and he seems to be a nobleman. "

Knight Marlow replied.

The scope of the east is too large, and it is impossible to find out, but the royal city of their Buck Kingdom is also in the east. Could it be that they came from the royal city?

But none of this is important. What matters is the last sentence.

"Rich?"

"Yes, he is rich. He bought the best residential area and the best business district in Hongye City from the former mayor. At the same time, he bought Charles' title and territory for 100 gold coins."

Knight Marlowe said in amazement.

"Those people are really abominable!"

Speaking of these 100 gold coins, even Blanche gnashed her teeth.

It stands to reason that even if the title is sold, the 100 gold coins belong to the city lord's mansion, but those greedy city officials stole Charles's relics and made the transaction on behalf of the city lord's mansion.

If those former city officials hadn't swept away the food of Red Leaf City, and with so many gold coins, Red Leaf City would still have a chance to tide over the difficulties.

"I'll go again today!"

Caroline's eyes flashed with determination, she wanted to come to the door to apologize in person.

In fact, after Zhang Feng left the castle, Caroline went to him, but no one answered the door, and Caroline didn't dare to go too far, so she could only give up temporarily.

But now, seeing that the Red Leaf City was getting worse and worse, she couldn't care about it anymore, so she could only take the risk of angering Zhang Feng and invite him out.

As for why he had to find Zhang Feng, the reason is very simple. Besides his identity as the city owner, the most important thing is that he is rich!

…

When Zhang Feng opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the bedroom on the second floor of the otherworld property.

"Huh~ I actually feel a little tired. I guess it's almost enough to bring something like this."

Zhang Feng looked at the mountaineering bag bulging high behind him, took a deep breath, and knew that it was the culprit that caused him to feel tired.

It seems that it is enough to bring a mountaineering bag. Although according to the current state, it is enough to bring a little more, but it is not necessary. Safety is the most important thing, and it cannot be overloaded.

Putting the mountaineering bag away, Zhang Feng sat beside the bed to rest for a while, and then prepared to go out for a walk. He brought so many supplies, but he couldn't hold it in his hands. Let's see if there are any merchants or nobles who can cooperate.

Actually, Zhang Feng prefers businessmen to trading with nobles.

Zhang Feng knew about the nobles of this era, most of them were greedy, arrogant and ignorant.

On the contrary, for businessmen, there are not so many things, and all interests come first.

However, before going out, he still had to fill his stomach. Zhang Feng was in a hurry, so he didn't even bother to eat breakfast.

He prepared rice, steamed buns, eggs, pork, salt, green onions and **** and other ingredients and seasonings. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Wash the rice first, pour water into the pot, and boil it directly. After the rice is cooked, add the minced meat, shredded green onion, and shredded ginger. After another ten minutes of cooking, add some salt and pepper. A delicious lean meat porridge is ready.

Actually, Zhang Feng wanted to make preserved egg porridge with lean meat, but he forgot to buy it. He had no choice but to make a youth version of preserved egg porridge with lean meat.

The aroma of the porridge was already very strong. Zhang Feng smelled it. It was the smell.

When the porridge is almost cooked, put the steamed buns in the pot and steam briefly.

Then I started to boil the eggs. It only took about five minutes to cook them. I quickly picked them up. Zhang Feng likes to eat soft-hearted eggs.

These eggs are all sterile eggs that Zhang Feng bought in the supermarket and can be eaten raw, so he is not afraid that there are bacteria that do not kill anything.

Lean meat porridge, steamed bread, eggs, a very simple breakfast.

Although Zhang Feng knows how to cook, he is a lazy one. Anyway, he doesn't need to be so troublesome to have breakfast by himself, just eat a little bit.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

However, before we had time to eat, there was a dull knock on the door.

"Huh? Who will come to me, is it Cotton?"

Zhang Feng glanced through the crack of the door with some doubts.

"is her?"

Opening the door, Caroline's hand was still in a knocking position. She didn't expect that the door would open from the inside as soon as she knocked on the door this time.

Seeing Caroline, Zhang Feng subconsciously admired her beauty, and then asked habitually:

"What's the matter, have you eaten breakfast? Would you like to have some together?"

"Gulong~"

Smelling the fragrance in the room, the sound of swallowing is particularly clear in the quiet room.
