Chapter 45 City Construction
The group returned to the castle.
Zhang Feng sat on the first seat of the hall, and the Marlowe knight was reluctant to put it down with a large bag of gold coins.
"Caroline, you take out 700 gold coins first, and the day after tomorrow, those merchants will transport grain to Red Leaf City, you have to make sure that there is no quality problem with the grain, and there is no shortage of catties or two. The food you buy is left in the castle, and soldiers are sent to guard it day and night, so that there can be no mistakes. ”
Only when there is food can you not panic, maybe there is no need to buy so much food at one time, but now these grains will be used as a fixed sea god needle to calm people's hearts, and Zhang Feng needs it.
"Yes."
Caroline sat beside him, looked at Zhang Feng with sparkling eyes, and said respectfully.
"Marlowe, you take 100 gold coins as a start-up capital for recruiting soldiers and knights, remember that recruiting people is not only based on physical fitness, character is also very important, some people with a bad reputation, even if they are excellent, we don't want them!"
"Recruiting soldiers, even knights, can't use so many gold coins, the rest of the gold coins can be used to buy ordnance, you can also buy war horses, I don't participate in these, you just make your own decisions, I just need you to train an army that can protect Red Leaf City!"
Zhang Feng's tone was very serious, soldiers were the top priority of Red Leaf City, and there was no room for sloppiness.
"Yes!"
Knight Marlowe saluted with a standard knightly salute.
Such an important task was entrusted to him, which represented the lord's absolute trust in him, Marlowe couldn't see anything on the surface, but there was still a different taste in his heart.
"Blanche, you are responsible for the rest of the recruitment work, you also take away 100 gold coins, the conditions for recruiting people are still what I said before, it doesn't matter if the ability is almost, the character must be guaranteed."
The current Red Leaf City has just begun to develop, and Zhang Feng can't allow those things like a rat poop to spoil a pot of soup.
"Yes!"
"If you recruit people, those constructions will also have to increase the schedule, the first thing to start is the public toilets, this is the first task, and then the hotels and taverns will be demolished and rebuilt."
Those inns and stuff are so dirty that they can't be cleaned up, so Zhang Feng simply pushed it down, anyway, he has money in his hand now.
"And then there'......"
Because today is the third day of coming to the other world again, and he can return to the modern world tomorrow, Zhang Feng needs to go back to purchase supplies, so he will explain everything he can think of at the moment.
"Well, that's all for the time being—I almost forgot, you've worked hard all this time! Marlowe and Blanche each received ten gold coins, which were used as rewards for this time. ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
They can't refuse a lord's reward, and besides, ten gold coins, a fool will refuse!
Caroline looked at Zhang Feng with a blank eye, but found that Zhang Feng and Ben didn't mention the reward to herself, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
"It's time for dinner, and Marlowe Knight and Miss Blanche are with you!"
"Yes!"
Both of them were happy, and even the more calm Marlowe showed an excited look.
Ever since he saw the food eaten by the City Lord, he had long been obsessed with it, but unfortunately, without the permission of the City Lord, no one would dare to eat here.
"Let's go. Oh, by the way, the rest of the gold coins will be handed over to you for safekeeping, you can see where it is safer. ”
Zhang Feng suddenly said to Caroline.
"Huh? Will you leave them all to me for safekeeping? ”
Caroline asked, incredulous.
You must know that the nobles generally have a firm grasp of the control of the gold coins, and each nobleman will have several keys, which are the keys to the gold coin box at home, and they don't worry about others, even if it is a family member.
However, Zhang Feng handed over the power of keeping the gold coins to Caroline, which Caroline did not expect.
"Well, if you need to use gold coins, just take them without reporting to me."
Zhang Feng said with a smile.
After contacting her for the past few days, he thinks that Caroline is not bad, although sometimes she is prone to blushing and making mistakes, but on the whole, she is quite reliable, and the development of Red Leaf City needs gold coins, and it is also very convenient to take it directly from her when the time comes.
Besides, this bit of gold coin, Zhang Feng still doesn't pay attention to it, well, to put it simply, Zhang Feng has swelled.
"Uh-huh~"
Caroline nodded happily.
It's not because Zhang Feng said that she can use gold coins casually, of course, this is also a reason, but the more important reason is that Zhang Feng trusts him!
After buying the grain, there are at least two hundred gold coins left, which is enough to buy two Red Leaf Cities, but Zhang Feng handed it over to her so trustingly, Caroline enjoyed the feeling of being trusted by Zhang Feng.
Everyone came to the restaurant upstairs, and Zhang Feng cooked it himself.
Since he was going back tomorrow, Zhang Feng didn't save it, took out all the ingredients in the space, and made a Chinese stir-fry that was not rich.
The food of the other world is not delicious, except for some strange ways to eat, a big reason is because they have no seasoning.
The difference between the food of the general nobles and the commoners is to see who puts more salt.
Zhang Feng couldn't eat this kind of salty food.
And he felt that it was a bad habit, and it was necessary to help these people from the other world change the habit.
Since there were not many ingredients, Zhang Feng stewed a large pot of pork, boiled a large carp, fried a chicken, and made a pot of pork rib soup.
Except for the freshly caught fish, the pork is all the food that Zhang Feng brought from Lanxing, after all, the pork here is too delicious to eat.
Although the ingredients are simple, Zhang Feng's ingredients are rich.
To use a fashionable saying, with so many ingredients, even a boiled insole is fragrant!
A meal is naturally a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts.
Caroline: It's the first time they've eaten this kind of dish, and the dishes they used to eat didn't have so many rich seasonings, and the cooking method was single—no, there was no way at all, no matter what the dish was, just put it in the pot and cook it!
The taste was a world of difference from what it is now.
"Lord of the City, my subordinates have taken their leave!"
After eating and drinking, Knights Marlow and Lady Blanche took their leave.
"Well, during this time, you guys have worked harder, and when the crisis in our Red Leaf City is over, I will reward you well!
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Both of them hurriedly said yes.
After the two left, Zhang Feng and Caroline came to the study.
Zhang Feng explained some things again, and Caroline always felt that something was wrong when she listened to it.
"Lord Zhang Feng, are you leaving?"
Caroline asked cautiously.
"Well, that's right."
Zhang Feng nodded in acknowledgement.
"Ahh Why are you leaving, we all need you, Red Leaf City...... Momiji Castle is getting better now......"
Caroline was just a woman's sixth sense erupted, and she asked subconsciously, but she didn't expect Zhang Feng to really want to leave, and she was suddenly a little incoherent.
Since Zhang Feng became the city lord, she has the backbone.
In fact, under the leadership of Zhang Feng, Red Leaf City has almost no existential crisis.
And it is still developing towards a better place, if Zhang Feng leaves, she doesn't know what to do in the future.
Looking at Caroline who was at a loss, Zhang Feng was actually a little nervous in his heart, it seemed that he was still quite important in their hearts!
However, Zhang Feng still explained.
"You're stupid! I'm just going out for a while, maybe two or three days, and I'll be back soon! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Feng touched the mountaineering bag that was placed aside, and put some of the remaining things in the storage space into the mountaineering bag in one go.
"I have a lot of things here, the food is reserved for you, you can eat as much as you want, you don't need to save it, when I come back, I will bring some more, and other things that are not needed, you just keep them, don't lose them."
"Eun! Don't worry, I'll take care of it! ”
Hearing that Zhang Feng was only leaving temporarily, although she was still a little worried in her heart, Caroline could only choose to believe Zhang Feng.
And Zhang Feng also left her a lot of delicious food, which made Caroline's mood not so sad.
"By the way, I'll give you a gift. But it needs your body's data. ”
"Data?"
Caroline didn't quite understand what that meant.
Zhang Luo didn't say much, there were still some small things in his space, such as a tape measure.
"Here, I'll show you how to use it."
Zhang Feng took the tape measure and gestured on Caroline, looking at Zhang Feng who was close, her body was a little stiff, and the bodies of the two inevitably had some contact, Zhang Feng naturally felt Caroline's nervousness.
"Relax, I'll measure your body measurements, and I'll send you some nice clothes when I get back!"
"Well, thank you, Lord Zhang Feng!"
Although she was still a little nervous, Caroline slowly relaxed.
It's just that when he measured some parts, Zhang Feng was a little surprised.
"Hey, I always thought you were very thin, I can't imagine that people can't look good!"
Feeling Zhang Feng's hand touching her body, Caroline's little face was as red as an apple, especially when she heard Zhang Feng's words again, she suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in!
"I said, I'm not skinny......"
Caroline still remembers that Zhang Feng said that she was too thin.
"Uh...... You are now fat where you should be fat, thin where you should be thin, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the golden ratio, such a figure is very beautiful, it is this dress that covers your figure......"
Zhang Feng did not hesitate to praise.
Caroline was both shy and a little surprised, usually Zhang Feng rarely praised her so intimately and praised.
Zhang Feng measured it, but he didn't touch it, after all, he couldn't touch anything through the thick clothes.
Soon, a detailed data of Caroline's body was recorded.
Caroline's little face flushed, Zhang Feng didn't care too much, he said directly:
"Well, let's do it first, it's late, you can rest early, I'll leave directly tomorrow morning, you don't have to say goodbye to me."
Zhang Feng waved his hand.
"Yes......"
Caroline bit her lip and left with some complications in her eyes.
"Whew~ I'm still quite tired these two days!"
Zhang Feng returned to the bed and lay down, and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar white ceiling lamp.
