Zhang Feng was very angry, very angry, and very helpless, what happened to this world!

Even if you inherit other people's property, you still have to inherit other people's wives?

How can there be such shameless rules!

This bad habit must be abolished!

And so—

Zhang Feng chose to compromise.

In life, there are always some things that are forced to happen.

Now I represent the privileged class, and I can't change my own life.

As the saying goes, there are no rules.

Therefore, there are some rules that must be followed, and Zhang Feng, as a nobleman, must lead by example!

"Please, please move to the castle."

Caroline lowered her eyes, her cold voice trembling slightly.

"Ahem, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, you first tell me how Red Leaf City is now, sit down and say."

Zhang Feng coughed dryly, he remembered that three days ago, the situation in Red Leaf City did not seem to be very good, I don't know if Caroline and they have made any adjustments in the past three days.

Caroline sat respectfully beside Zhang Feng, and her tone was a little sad when she mentioned Red Leaf City.

"There is still no way out of the current Red Leaf City, I issued a law before, stipulating that each person can only eat one meal a day-"

"Ahem, what did you say? Can only eat one meal a day, or is it the law? ”

Zhang Feng almost choked on saliva, what kind of strange law is this, as a citizen of a big country with food, Zhang Feng feels that three meals a day are a bit less, if he is not afraid of gaining weight, he is willing to eat five meals a day.

"None of the civilians objected?"

"Almost nothing, mainly because they don't have much food in stock, and our City Lord's Mansion can't distribute food, they just want to eat two meals a day and have no food......

Zhang Feng was a little painful, and then asked:

"Do you have any plans, or ideas?"

After all, Zhang Feng has only been in this world for a few days, although he has a little idea about the situation in Red Leaf City, but he may not be accustomed to the water and soil, and it may be better if he can combine the ideas of these local people.

"What we need most in Red Leaf City at the moment is food, and some big merchants in the city may have food in their hands, or they have channels to get food, if you are willing to borrow some from them as a nobleman, the situation in Red Leaf City will be much better, of course, provided that they are willing to borrow."

"You should have tried this method, right? Didn't work out? ”

Zhang Feng believed that if those merchants were not stupid, they would definitely not lend grain to Caroline, because they didn't see the benefits, and the current Red Leaf City had a bad prospect.

And even if he borrowed food, he didn't think that Momiji City would survive the difficulties.

Zhang Feng just took a brief look, although he was just a baron with a fief, but this fief was not small.

Red Leaf City is only the most prosperous place in his territory at present, in addition to Red Leaf City, there are many villages that are also in Zhang Feng's territory, and Zhang Feng is the main one.

There are as few as one or twenty people in a village, and as many as hundreds, and these people don't seem to have much to do with Red Leaf City now, but some of their food comes from Red Leaf City, and if Red Leaf City has no food, their situation will not be good.

"Huh? How do you know? It's true that no one wants to lend us money, but I think they'll give you face if you go. ”

Caroline was a little surprised, she only talked to those big businessmen yesterday, but she didn't expect Zhang Feng to guess it. However, she thought that she was not the city lord after all, and if Zhang Feng went, those merchants would definitely not perfunctory him.

Zhang Feng waved his hand, as a nobleman, he would not do such a degraded thing, even if it was to talk, they had to take the initiative to come and talk.

Zhang Feng already had some thoughts in his heart, but he still asked again:

"Is there anything else besides this?"

"I think we can gather soldiers to hunt in the Black Market Forest, and if we can catch a certain amount of prey, it will also alleviate the situation in Red Leaf City."

"Have you assembled then?"

"Well, no, because the Blackstone Forest is your private property, and soldiers can only go hunting if you agree. And ......"

"And what?"

Zhang Feng estimated that it was bad news again.

"We don't have many soldiers in Red Leaf City, originally we had 6 knights and 120 soldiers in Red Leaf City, but because the former city officials and four other knights took away the food and a large number of soldiers that had been stored for more than half a year, now we only have two knights and 20 soldiers......"

Caroline's tone was a little ashamed, if she had known that these white-eyed wolves would leave and take so many things with them, she would not have let them leave so easily, Red Leaf City has today's situation, and she herself is partly responsible.

"Two knights and 20 soldiers, can you hold Momiji City?"

Zhang Feng asked with some confusion.

After all, Red Leaf City is its own home base, and in this era, it is very common for forces to clash with each other, there are conflicts between nobles and nobles, there are conflicts between nobles and horse thieves, and even conflicts between nobles from their own country and soldiers from other countries.

The easiest way to measure the strength of a force is to see how many knights and soldiers there are on the other side.

"Momiji Castle can barely hold ......"

Caroline didn't finish speaking, Zhang Feng already knew what she meant, if she wanted to go hunting in the Black Market Forest, Red Leaf City would be empty, although Red Leaf City was a remote place, there were almost no horse thieves or anything, but Zhang Feng didn't want to take this risk.

Besides, how much hunting is an uncertain event, in case the prey is not hunted and the castle is occupied again, then Zhang Feng will lose a lot, after all, this is what he exchanged for a bottle of beer and a few compressed biscuits!

"This solution has been put on hold for the time being, is there anything else?"

Zhang Feng still has some expectations for hunting, after all, he has seen it in the TV series, he really wants to experience it, but now is obviously not the time.

"Turning to other nobles for help is also a way, but I think it's better to count on the arrogant and selfish nobles to help us, than to expect the conscience of these cunning merchants to find out......"

"Or ask for the help of a superior lord, but we don't have a superior lord, only obey the king. Because our Red Leaf City is too remote, many years ago, this place was already independent, and no big nobles and lords were willing to ask us for this oil bottle......"

Well, this Red Leaf City is still an autonomous region!

"Then why don't you ask the king for help?"

"We are too far from the royal capital, and even if the king promises to help us, by the time they come, the winter will be gone......"

"Well, Red Leaf City is really bad."

"That's all I can think about for the time being......"

Caroline's face flushed slightly, and she replied a little embarrassed, in fact, these were the results of his discussion with Marlowe Knight and Ms. Blanche.

"The problem of food shortage, in addition to some unexpected reasons, is mainly because there is no money in Red Leaf City, so you don't want to make money?"

If there is enough gold coins, what grain cannot be bought?

"Make money? Do you mean raising taxes? ”

Caroline was taken aback, in her impression, the way the nobles make money is nothing more than war and taxes, and the current Red Leaf City must not be able to compete with others for territory, so the only thing left is taxes.

She was afraid that Zhang Feng would raise taxes, so she hurriedly stopped her with some euphemism.

"Our civilians in Red Leaf City are already living very hard, and if the tax is raised again, I'm afraid they would rather become homeless people than stay in Red Leaf City anymore......"
