Otherworld Management Manual

In the tavern, everyone is discussing enthusiastically because of the topic of "a new batch of titles will be sold soon".

Basically, everyone is not surprised that the title can be bought with gold coins. After all, this kind of thing is not a once or twice.

Basically, in the second month of spring every year, His Majesty the King will take out part of the title for sale.

Landlords, businessmen or some former nobles who are rich but do not have titles will all come to the capital during this time to participate in the purchase.

"If I have enough gold coins, I will also buy a title to play with!"

Someone said enviously, a baron title requires a few hundred gold coins at a minimum, and his family background still cannot afford it.

"Hey! I heard that the nobles outside are not as good as the commoners in Buck City!"

"How is that possible? That's a nobleman!"

"Don't believe it, I knew a nobleman before, and he told me personally that his fief was particularly remote, and he was worried about the survival of the people in the territory every day. He was originally a small businessman, but he bought it. After a noble with a fief, in less than a year, all the gold coins in his hand were used up! There was no money to pay taxes to the king, and he finally sold the title reluctantly and resumed his old business."

"This... so scary!"

It was the first time everyone heard this kind of news, and they were all in disbelief.

"Of course, I don't have to lie to you, but there is a reason for this, because he gave the people in the territory a lot of tax reduction and exemption policies, and as a result, he couldn't collect the tax, so he had to pay for it..."

"…"

Everyone was silent for a while, and some of them didn't know what to say. They were ordinary people after all, and of course they hoped that the lord would be kinder, but if because of the kindness of the lord, they couldn't do it by themselves, and they didn't want to see it. Yes, after all, no one knows what the next lord will be like, and it is even a question whether or not to wait for the next lord.

"So, it's better for us Buck King City!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Yes! I don't envy you at all what a **** aristocrat!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, a few nobles came in just now..."

"Ah? Ahem, where did we just say, but unfortunately I don't have any gold coins, otherwise I would definitely buy a title and become a noble noble!"

…

When Zhang Feng led Beast Ear Niang in, it attracted the attention of some people. Seeing that Zhang Feng's people were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a noble temperament, the voices of everyone were unconsciously lowered by three points. Several beast ears are so beautiful!

Facing the faint gazes from the surrounding civilians, Zhang Feng didn't care, except for the nervousness of Mao Er Niang, others didn't care.

This tavern is cleaner than Zhang Feng imagined, and apart from himself, Zhang doesn't seem to see any other nobles.

If Zhang Feng is a local, you will know that because there are more people in Buck City, there are naturally many taverns and so on. Those nobles disdain to drink with commoners, so taverns dedicated to serving nobles appeared.

And the one that Zhang Feng came from was naturally a civilian tavern.

But even if he knew this, Zhang Feng didn't care, what he cared about was what the person next to him said.

"Hello."

Zhang Feng smiled and greeted a young man in a thick cotton coat with freckles next to him.

"You... hello!"

The freckled man was a little nervous.

He also did not expect that this tavern has always been a place where nobles disdain to come, how come a noble is here today!

Although Zhang Feng didn't wear his Marquis Noble Medal, and he wasn't an aristocrat with a familiar face, but whether it was clothing or appearance, it was in line with the nobles they had seen. No, it should be better!

"I told you that this time I'm interested in selling a 'noble title of a very large territory', can you tell me? I'll treat you to a drink."

Zhang Feng spoke very approachably.

When the freckled man heard Zhang Feng's words, he instantly knew that Zhang Feng was a foreign aristocrat, because this matter had already spread among the noble circles in the capital, and it was also an accident that he heard a marquis speak.

But no matter whether Zhang Feng is a foreign aristocrat or not, as far as his outfit and temperament are concerned, at least he can only possess a great aristocrat.

"I also heard from others that the king is going to sell a large piece of fief, but many people don't know exactly what it is, but many people are already preparing gold coins..."

After hearing the freckled man's words, Zhang Feng fell into deep thought. He felt that this large fief was very likely to be the extreme northern land. Could it be that the king was going to make an auction and let himself buy it?

etc?

buy it?

The king should not let himself pay, right? After all, this is the fief you want!

Zhang Feng was not sure what the king meant, but in any case, he must have a look.

"Do you know when this title sale started?"

Zhang Feng asked again.

"tomorrow!"

The other party immediately spoke, and he just knew this question.

"Thank you very much."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Hearing Zhang Feng thank him, the freckled man seemed a little flattered.

Although they often say that the nobles in some places can't even compare with the commoners in their capitals, this is just a talk. If they are given a title for free, I am afraid they will run faster than anyone else!

Nobles, born and commoners are not of the same class.

This was the first time he had received thanks from the nobles, and his face was a little rosy for a while.

Zhang Feng got the news he wanted, and he didn't break his promise. He invited him a glass of the most expensive wine here - dark beer worth one silver coin!

This made the freckled man even more excited. He could actually get a glass of wine invited by a great nobleman in his lifetime. Note that this is an invitation, not a reward!

This is enough for him to blow for a year!

Didn't you see the envious expressions of everyone around you?

Zhang Feng also ordered a cup for himself. The price of a silver coin is actually not expensive in Zhang Feng's opinion, but this wine is a bit unworthy. Zhang Feng can only say that it is enough to drink.

He took a sip and handed it to Hu Er Niang.

Hu Erniang didn't dislike it either. She picked up the cup that Zhang Feng had just used, and drank it in one gulp.

"Delicious!"

The food came quickly. Compared with the wine in this tavern, Zhang Feng felt that the food was better.

Because they are relatively vegetarian, there is no strange-shaped meat that Zhang Feng does not know.

Zhang Feng's coming to the tavern was just a small episode. When Zhang Feng deliberately kept a low profile, everyone quickly forgot about him and started talking loudly. After all, the gossip in Buck City is still very interesting.

Especially this year, the king sold the title ahead of schedule, which made people feel that something big might happen this year, and all kinds of speculations emerged for a while.

When Zhang Feng heard these words, he suddenly thought that the king had told him that Archduke Oran, the lord of the southern cast iron city, meant to overthrow the regime, so are these two things related?

Zhang Feng originally thought that this was specially arranged for him by the king, but now he thinks that he should think too much, and he doesn't have such a big face. The king is obviously preparing to gather funds!

However, it can be seen that things in the south are really serious. Although the king didn't tell Zhang Feng in detail, he can make the king begin to prepare for the war. It can be seen that things are far more serious than what he said!

After eating a meal for a long time, Zhang Feng spent most of the time listening to these gossips.

When he got home, Zhang Feng accidentally saw Knight Abe.

"Is there any order from Your Majesty the King, or does Her Majesty the Queen have something to do?"

There is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall, Zhang Feng knows that the other party must have something.

Abe didn't answer directly, but looked at Zhang Feng strangely. Just when Zhang Feng thought there was something dirty on his face, Abe spoke.

"Did you talk to His Majesty the King?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Zhang Feng didn't understand what Abe meant for a while.

"His Majesty said that my service period has come, and I can apply to stay in the palace, be a royal knight, or leave freely."

"Huh? Isn't that a good thing!"

Although he doesn't understand the rules of the Royal Knights, Abe obviously wants to be "free", and freedom is generally a good thing.

"But His Majesty the King recommended you to me, saying that if I am going to change the environment, I can come to see you..."

Abe's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any mood swings.

"Oh? Then how did you choose?"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect the king to actually agree with Abe to come to him. Although it was not an order, he let Abe choose by himself, but this still surprised Zhang Feng.

After all, Abe is a very strong and young knight with unlimited potential!

"I signed a contract to quit the Royal Knights, and I will officially leave the Royal Knights in ten days..."

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was instantly a little excited. He didn't expect Abe to choose him!

But soon, Zhang Feng knew that he was thinking too much.

"...Princess Anne is still young, and I plan to stay by Princess Anne's side to protect her."

"Well, I thought you chose to come to me, and it made me happy for nothing!"

Zhang Feng shrugged, the disappointment on his face didn't seem like a fake.

Abe's eyes are a bit complicated, but she doesn't plan to say much about this.

"His Majesty the King asked me to inform you that starting at noon tomorrow, some titles and fiefs will be publicly sold. You should be interested. The location is at the gate of the palace."

"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."

Zhang Feng nodded, and the king really sent someone to inform him.

After Abe left, Zhang Feng prepared some gold coins. Regardless of whether they will be used tomorrow or not, the gold coins must be prepared.

As for what will happen tomorrow, we will only know until tomorrow.

…

…

the next day.

Zhang Feng sat in the small steam car, and the cat-ear lady accompanied her.

The driver's cab is a soldier and driver brought by Zhang Feng, and now he can be regarded as an old driver, and the co-pilot is a royal knight.

This is the news that Zhang Feng brought to the king after he asked Abe to go back yesterday, saying that he needed someone trusted by His Majesty to teach him how to drive.

Abe didn't know what it meant, but the king must have known it. Sure enough, early in the morning, there was a royal knight with a serious face and wearing casual clothes waiting outside the door.

Zhang Feng politely invited people in, and then asked Zhang Feng's driver to teach him how to operate the steam car.

This car does not have many functions, it is very simple to operate, and the knight is not stupid. He quickly learned it. He personally let him drive the car, and after two laps outside the door at the slowest speed, Zhang Feng I think he is qualified.

However, on the way to the palace, Zhang Feng still let his driver drive the car, not because he didn't trust it, but because the car had been with the driver for many days after all, and he was about to say goodbye to his car, so he didn't deliver it in person. How can it be done.

Along the way, the co-pilot's royal knight's face was a little red, which was excited.

After all, driving is completely different from him, this novelty is the same as the first time she learned to ride a horse when she was a child!

And really driving, this is much more windy than riding a horse, after all, so many attentions along the way are not fake.

When the small steam car came to the gate of the palace, it was already crowded with people.

Because the people are relatively large, it is impossible for these people to enter the palace, so the business of titles is right at the gate of the palace. This is also a feature of Buck City. Selling titles is like selling vegetables.

The arrival of the steam car instantly became the only focus, and the noisy crowd also quieted down, leaving only the sound of the steam engine operating.

Seeing Zhang Feng getting out of the car, everyone standing outside in the cold wind showed envious eyes, and some people had undisguised liking in their eyes.

They knew there was no way to buy the big steam car outside, but this small one might have a chance!

If the main task today was not to buy titles, these rich people would definitely find Zhang Feng to have a good conversation.

Because today not only sells titles, but also sells fiefs. All the nobles are there, and the marquis Zhang Feng is not abrupt here - today he wears the noble medal that symbolizes this marquis on his chest.

Although Zhang Feng felt that the design of this badge was ugly, let alone, after wearing it, it felt a little different.

There was no long wait, and the gate of the palace opened soon.

Some soldiers and knights came out, escorting the king and many ministers.

Everyone was a little surprised. In the past, the king would not appear. I didn't expect the king to come today, still in such a cold situation. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

As soon as the king went out, he saw the steam car that stood out from the crowd, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng hurriedly gave the soldier a wink, and then said:

"Your Majesty, I have heating here, you can come to me!"

The soldier turned on the switch immediately, and a telescopic transparent shed was immediately erected on the side of the steam car, which blocked the cold wind, and the door opened, and the heater inside the car blew out, and the people nearby were suddenly shocked.

"It's so warm!"

The king was not polite, and came directly with many ministers.

"Hoo~ it's so warm!"

"This...it's amazing!"

"Okay, let's start now!"

And the many nobles looked unhappy. Zhang Feng didn't invite them, even if he still pleases the king, then the next competition is probably a little troublesome...
