Chapter 108: Death Canyon Mines
Liu Feifei welcomed Xiao Ke and his entourage to the living room of the town lord's mansion, and asked people to serve fragrant tea, she didn't dare to sit, she stood directly and listened to Xiao Ke's lecture, and her attitude was very respectful. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
Xiao Ke's first feeling about this woman is that she is a little shrewd, and she knows current affairs, and her impression of Liu Feifei is not bad. Anyway, the town owner is just an empty shelf, and I think that if it is suitable, it is not bad to let this woman who knows the current affairs be the one. It can save a lot of trouble.
Xiao Ke had just sat down on the master's seat in the living room, and Ye Yun next to him had already handed Xiao Ke a simple data file, Xiao Ke took it and glanced at it twice, it turned out to be Liu Feifei's data file.
Liu Feifei turned out to be the owner of a tavern in Anping Town, where women survived. Naturally, it is not easy, especially a woman like Liu Feifei, who is still a little beautiful. A woman like her, if she is in a barbaric place like the Land of Lawlessness, without a backer, will not survive at all.
Liu Feifei knows how to use her strengths. It was also her appearance that happened to Aragorn to take a fancy to her, so under the half-push and half-push, she became Aragorn's concubine. It was also because of Aragorn's help that she had the opportunity to become the deputy mayor of Anping Town.
The information shows that Aragorn is a person who does not have much ability, and Liu Feifei basically handles the work for Aragorn behind the scenes, and takes care of this not light and heavy town lord's mansion in an orderly manner.
Xiao Ke glanced at ten lines, read Liu Feifei's daring information in a minute or two, then closed the documents, put the file on the table, took a sip of tea, and then his eyes fell on Liu Feifei, who looked a little nervous in front of him, and asked lightly: "Aragorn is your man?" “
Liu Feifei was silent for two seconds, and did not directly answer Xiao Ke's question, but bit her lip and said, "If you ask him if he is my husband or my lover, then I can answer that you are not." If you ask me if I've ever had a relationship with him, I can only answer yes, and more than once, even though that's not my will. “
Xiao Ke stared at Liu Feifei: "I don't really have much interest in your private life, but you should know that Aragorn was killed by me, so I have to consider whether I should replace you, the deputy town lord, now?" Or, continue to let you manage the work of the Town Lord's Mansion? “
Liu Feifei realized when she heard this, whether Xiao Ke was going to use her or was going to brush her down, she was smart enough to feel that Xiao Ke wanted to continue to use her, but because of her previous relationship with Aragorn, Xiao Ke had some scruples, worried that she would disobey the yin and yang and make trouble behind her back.
Liu Feifei: "I hope that Master Wanfu can let me continue to manage the work of the Town Lord's Mansion." “
The corners of Xiao Ke's mouth rose slightly: "Give me a reason, if your reason can convince me, I will let you continue to stay here and be in charge of the work of the town lord's mansion, if your reason can't convince me, then you can leave here." “
Liu Feifei: "My relationship with Aragon. It's just a relationship of mutual use. Moreover, Aragorn is dead, and Anping Town has changed hands, and I must rely on your protection to continue to run my tavern in Anping Town. Otherwise, not only will my tavern probably not be able to operate, but I will probably become someone else's plaything. I don't have a choice now, but to be loyal to you, the best choice?? In addition, I firmly believe that among the more than 200,000 people in this town, I am the most familiar with the work of the town lord's office, and I am also the most qualified person for this job. “
Xiao Ke: "Very good, from now on, you will officially become the town lord of Anping Town, and I will send an official document to the empire for the record, you are different from the self-appointed town lord of Aragon before." Rather, it is the town lord who is recognized by the empire. “
Liu Feifei was overjoyed when she heard this: "Lord Xie! “
After Xiao Ke decided to continue to use Liu Feifei, he instructed Qin Bing to arrange soldiers to deploy in Anping Town, Anping Town will still be a small black market trading town in the future, but after the steel wheel is guarded here, Xiao Ke wants this place to become safer and more stable, at least there can be no slaughter of merchants like Huo Shifeng here.
Then, Xiao Ke instructed Ling Feng to visit and arrange for his brother who was wounded in the battle last night to ensure that the medical treatment kept up and let the injured brother recover as soon as possible.
In the end, Xiao Ke followed Ye Yun. In the living room of the town lord's mansion, listening to Liu Feifei's report, he wanted to know the general situation of Anping Town.
Liu Feifei does have some ability, and she told Xiao Ke clearly about all the big and small forces of the merchants in Anping Town, as well as the types of businesses, and how much tax they can collect every month.
According to Liu Feifei's report, Xiao Ke learned that under normal circumstances, Anping Town would probably be able to collect about 10,000 gold coins in taxes from aborigines and traders every month. It is less than Xiao Ke imagined, but 10,000 gold coins per month should be enough for the monthly military salary and expenses of the Steel Wheel War Regiment, barely self-sufficient.
You must know that Xiao Ke and their war group were approved by His Majesty Jiang Ning, and the cabinet did not give food and salary, and before Xiao Ke came here, His Majesty also said that all the income from Xiao Ke's first year here can be withheld and used for raising the army.
When Liu Feifei reported the approximate monthly tax amount in Anping Town, she noticed that Xiao Ke frowned slightly, and seemed not very satisfied with this figure.
She immediately said to Xiao Ke: "The taxes in Anping Town are not much, and adults want more money, so they need to look at other places, such as the Death Canyon mine a hundred kilometers away, which is a black iron mine, and there are also a small number of associated black crystal mines, although the price of black iron ore is average, but black crystal is a good thing, the price has been high, the only drawback is that the black crystal production of this mine is not high." Of course, this mine is now occupied by the Guns and Roses, and it will take a lot of effort if you want to take the mine. “
Xiao Ke nodded, and praised Liu Feifei for the first time: "Very good, I found that I used you correctly, I am very satisfied." “
Liu Feifei's eyes radiated brilliance, she took the opportunity to pick up the teapot on the coffee table, bent down to pour tea for Xiao Ke, she was wearing a V-neck dress, when she poured tea for Xiao Ke, she was infinitely beautiful, and her expression was provocative.
This woman is very intelligent, or rather cunning, and always knows how to use her strengths to please or please others.
She didn't expect Xiao Ke to fall in love with her or anything, but as long as Xiao Ke was interested in her, she didn't mind becoming Xiao Ke's plaything, after all, Xiao Ke would be the master here in the future and become Xiao Ke's plaything. It's good for her after all.
It's a pity that Xiao Ke obviously looks down on her like a broken flower and a willow, and flatters her, and frowns slightly.
Liu Feifei is the best at observing words and feelings, and can see that Xiao Ke doesn't like her. has no interest in her, she can only restrain her demeanor, so as not to backfire, and it will be troublesome to provoke Xiao Ke to dislike her.
Soon, Liu Feifei finished reporting work. He retreated.
There were only a few Xiao Ke and Ye Yun, Duan Canglong, and Luo Hu left in the living room, Xiao Ke turned his head to look at Ye Yun, who was not wearing a battle robe today, but was wearing a white robe, and asked with a smile: "Third brother, what do you think?" “
The corners of Ye Yun's mouth rose slightly, her smile turned out to be better than that of a woman, and she said teasingly: "This woman is not bad, she obviously knows how to please men, and she is a lovely person." And I saw it just now, people are interesting to you, big brother, don't you really have any thoughts about her? “
Xiao Ke couldn't cry or laugh, he asked Ye Yun what he thought of the current situation in Anping Town, and what he thought of the mine that Liu Feifei said, but he didn't expect Ye Yun to pull Liu Feifei's body.
Xiao Ke said with a wry smile: "Third brother, you are joking again, I don't like women like Liu Feifei." “
Ye Yun asked narrowly: "What kind of woman does the eldest brother like?" “
Xiao Ke heard Ye Yun's question. First of all, he was stunned, because he was originally a humble refugee, and his own survival was a problem, how could he have the opportunity to tell his qualifications what woman he liked? Immediately, Xiao Ke's mind appeared with Qin Bing's shadow. Qin Bing is undoubtedly the most outstanding and appreciated among so many women Xiao Ke has known.
But Xiao Ke was taught by Qin Bing, without Qin Bing, the leader, there would be no him today, although he is now Qin Bing's superior, but in his heart, Qin Bing is also a teacher and friend, so he naturally didn't dare to admit that he liked a woman like Qin Bing in front of Ye Yun, Duan Canglong, and Luo Hu.
Xiao Ke looked at Ye Yun's narrow expression, and when he saw Ye Yun's soft face that was a little more beautiful than a woman, he suddenly laughed, and deliberately joked: "I really haven't thought about what kind of woman I like, but since I met the third brother, I can't help but think, if the third brother is a woman, you will definitely fall for the city and the country, and I may not fall for my brother!" “
Xiao Ke was originally joking, but Ye Yun's face was flushed, obviously embarrassed and ashamed, like sitting on pins and needles.
