"By the way, how much money did the goods in the capital sell for?" Liu Feng put down his teacup. Now Xiyang City needs a large amount of coins. For example, tomorrow's auction is to make money. He has already asked people from the intelligence organization to start the auction. There will be momentum.

"Eleven thousand two hundred and thirty-two gold coins, sixty-seven silver coins, and four hundred and twenty-one copper coins." Nicole read solemnly.

"More than 11,000 pieces? It seems that Darlene has raised the price." Liu Feng narrowed his black eyes slightly. There is an estimated price for the goods in the capital, and the current price is ten times higher than the estimated price. of two.

"Darina said that because there were too few goods, those nobles competed to increase the price first, resulting in a much higher price." Nicole's gray eyes looked at the egg tart crumbs at the corner of Liu Feng's mouth, and her heart quickened for some reason.

"Just share it with Darlene according to the requirements in the contract, and give another one hundred gold coins, which can be regarded as a commission for her performance." Liu Feng raised the corner of his mouth and said gently, "Just say that I rewarded her alone, no Into her family's bill."

"Okay." Nicole pursed her lips, the money Darlene earned for the young master, these one hundred gold coins are really nothing.

"Well, tonight's egg tart is delicious." Liu Feng picked up another egg tart and stuffed two mouthfuls into his mouth.

In terms of cooking, Nicole has nothing to teach him. Nicole is limited by the material problem and knows more than him. He has sorted out domestic and domestic menus and will translate some when he has time. Practice with Nicole.

"Master, don't move." Nicole's cheeks were flushed, she reached out to pinch the crumbs of the egg tart that were sticking to the corner of Liu Feng's mouth, and put them into her mouth.

"..." Liu Feng stared at Nicole in a daze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, this behavior a little teased him.

"Kagji..."

In the next second, the study door opened, and Liu Feng's strange thoughts were calmed down.

"Master, I'm here." An Li said crisply, bouncing in, her ears twitching.

"Washed up? Where's Mina?" Liu Feng turned his head to look at Weiya, Avery, and Tees who came in one after another from the study door, but he didn't see the cat-eared lady.

"She said she was going to collect today's information." An Li pouted her pretty nose, immediately saw the egg tart on the desk, and subconsciously pursed her lips.

"Let's eat, one for each person." Liu Feng looked at the furtive look of Hu'er Niang with a funny face, and pushed the egg tart over.

"Then young master, have you eaten?" An Li asked, she knew that Nicole had prepared it for the young master, so Nicole had only soaked in the hot spring for a while.

"Eat." Liu Feng waved to Di Si and the others.

"Then we'll share." An Li immediately stepped forward, took the egg tart plate and shared it with the horned wolves.

"Tiss, what's the situation in Xiyang City today?" Liu Feng looked at Niujiao Niang, who swallowed the egg tart, and handed over the teacup.

"Hmm..." Tess was chewing, and quickly took a sip of tea from the teacup. After swallowing, she said with a serious face, "Those businessmen and nobles are too good at making trouble, and many people have been arrested today."

"What's the matter?" Liu Feng frowned, it was inevitable, so many people came, it was impossible that nothing happened.

"Fighting and fighting, competing for perfume, and..." Tess said, lowering her head slowly, her voice a little lost, "There are also things like dislike of orcs blocking the way."

"Oh?" Liu Feng narrowed his black eyes slightly, and his temperament immediately became fierce, and he said coldly, "Has everyone been arrested?"

"They've been caught, and they're all locked up in the Security Division." Disi raised her head and looked at the cold face of the young master, feeling warm in her heart.

"Put them in a small dark room and lock them up for three days." Liu Feng had known for a long time that such a thing would happen, those people who came from the king's capital habitually treated the orcs as slaves.

It seems that there should be a warning to the monkeys, so that those people know who has the final say in Xiyang City, they can either abide by the rules or get out.

"Yes." Tessy replied with a smile on her lips.

Chapter 0567 different information.

"An Li, how long can we last with our existing wheat?" Liu Feng turned to look at the fox-eared lady who was eating egg tart crumbs.

"Ah?" An Li was stunned for a moment, flipped through the notepad immediately, and muttered, "There are only three warehouses left for the current wheat storage. Based on the current population growth, there are more than 25,000 people, and we can only hold on to one and a half. Many months."

"More than a month and a half?" Liu Feng was silent, frowning and thinking, developing a territory, basic necessities of life are always the most important.

The food in the territory has not been harvested yet, even if the vegetable seeds are sown, it will take a month to harvest, but the vegetables are not wheat, which can grow and mature quickly, which can only alleviate the food crisis.

That is to say, Xiyang City is now falling into a food crisis again due to the increase in victims of disasters. Now it can only rely on imported wheat, and the city with a large amount of food storage is only Beifeng City recently.

"Master, the layout of Beifeng City should be able to be implemented, so as not to have long nights and dreams." An Li whispered.

"Yeah." Liu Feng nodded. He had set his sights on Beifeng City as early as winter, and the layout had already begun, and he said slowly, "Start to use salt and linen to pry open the trading rights of wheat. Isn't the owner of Beifeng City here?" Here? Before he returns, I want half of the wheat in North Wind City."

"Master, I want so much wheat, I'm afraid that other cities will take advantage of it." An Li's brown eyes were full of worry.

She knew that the plan was to use salt and linen, let other cities purchase wheat on behalf of others, and then transfer it to Xiyang City, the price would be higher. This was one of the reasons why gold coins were urgently needed in addition to the monthly salary.

"Don't worry, they don't dare." Liu Feng said with a confident smile, "The market economy of other cities is now in our hands. If they want to make a fortune, they can only listen to us."

Liu Feng is not worried about the noise in other cities at all. Taking Xiyang City as the starting point, the nearby cities have trade relations with Xiyang City. Although they are all small cities, because the cities are small and the economy is monotonous and unique, they are easily attracted by the West. Yangcheng, a big capital, invaded the market.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the first two things are controlled by Xiyang City. To put it bluntly, without the trade of Xiyang City, I am afraid that these cities will go bankrupt one after another. There is no salt for cooking, no linen for clothing, and the living standard It will drop several notches.

This is another kind of rule by Liu Feng, which is higher than the rule by force. You can win the fruits of victory without blood, and you can win without fighting.

Of course, for such a layout, first of all, there must be strong capital, production industry, manufacturing industry and so on. And the most important military power, otherwise everything is just a paper tiger, a paper tiger that will be torn open by the barbarians with long swords, and take away everything needed.

Liu Feng's plan is to accumulate enough industrial foundation in the early stage, even if there is a war in the future, it can support him to 1v2, 1v3, or even 1v10... After victory, he can quickly restore prosperity.

"Then I will immediately write to the other city lords, asking them to cooperate with us." An Li immediately fell down on the table and began to write.

"Tell them, as long as they can help us buy enough wheat, we will give you 10% more of the next batch of goods." Liu Feng said lightly, and they must give some food to make the horse run.

"Okay." An Li replied without raising her head.

Liu Feng is not afraid of not having enough goods now. Several of his workshops have been producing goods all winter without stopping. The most important linen has been piled up in several warehouses.

"By the way, I have to go to Heishui City in a while to meet the leader of the orc tribe, and I need to discuss some cooperation with him." Liu Feng lowered his eyes, looked at the notepad on the desktop, and thought about the development of the next plan.

Good news came from the scientific research department yesterday that the hydraulic loom and the hydraulic loom have been successfully researched, which means that a large number of people can be liberated, and the production of linen will be doubled several times.

Moreover, the use of hydraulic power can meet many conditions that cannot be produced quickly by manpower. The linen market can be gradually occupied, so a new generation of cashmere coats should also be put on the agenda.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door, causing Liu Feng, who was in deep thought, to look up, and saw the cat-eared lady stepping in, holding a thick stack of letters in her hand, all of the information collected today was 0...

"Master, here is an important piece of information." Mina sat on the corner of the desk with her hips upturned, put the letters into a pile on the desk, and handed the selected letter to Liu Feng. It was an urgent letter.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take the letter and looked, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, as if he had encountered something embarrassing.

The information on the letter refers to two things that he has been paying attention to all the time, namely coal and iron ore, and now the iron ore has been found.

Xiyang City is currently short of steel. Even if Liu Feng has been investing a lot of manpower and material resources in steelmaking, the steel production will never be enough. The steel production throughout the winter is only enough for the initial construction of Xiyang City.

However, for Liu Feng’s great development, steel is the most important thing. He has asked the scientific research department to study steam engines. With the current level of technology, according to the blueprints, Liu Feng estimates that it will be produced by the end of the year, or sooner. maybe.

Then the steam engine is produced, and the steam engine train will not be far away after that. That is the real iron-swallowing monster. The amount of steel in the laying of the rails can be prohibitive.

To get rich first, to build roads, Liu Feng intends to carry out this famous saying to the end, so the construction of railways is inevitable, and it is also what he will focus on in the future. Waterways always have too many limitations.
