Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"I'll buy No. 2 to win." Viscount Genie handed over a copper coin.

"No, why are you so stingy?" Viscount Gambaf couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I call it a try first." Viscount Genie was unmoved.

"..."

On the main stage, An Li watched the horse races in the stable with great interest, and began to write with a pen in her hand.

"An Li, do you want to place a bet too?" Mina glanced at the fox-eared lady.

"Yes, I want to buy the first place in the nine games, and I can get a lot of coins that way."

An Li held the tip of her pen in her mouth, and said seriously, "In this way, I can buy a bunch of lollipops."

"Master, do you think someone might be in the top of the nine games?" Mina asked softly.

"This is quite difficult. After all, every day's races and horse races are mixed, and there is no way for people to mark them." Liu Feng said lightly. The reason for making so many things is to promote consumption.

"Ah? Then I'm hopeless? I still want to buy the top two of the nine games." An Li pouted and put down her pen, completely lost interest.

"How is the arrangement at Zuixiao Building? Has the machine been moved there?" Liu Feng shook his head and asked.

"It's all set up and ready to use at any time." An Li said seriously.

"Then wait a minute and bring the person there." Liu Feng said slowly.

"Yes." An Li replied.

Chapter 0708 big flicker.

The lobby on the first floor of Zuixiao Tower is now full of nobles from all the major city lords.

Except for some of the city lords and nobles of the entire western land who did not come, the rest are all here.

Standing in front of the podium, Liu Feng looked at the people who were still discussing the horse race just now, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Everyone, be quiet!"

After the words fell, everyone became quiet. Looking at Liu Feng on the stage, they all knew that the main event was coming.

"Everyone has received my invitation to come here, what do you think of Xiyang City?" Liu Feng embraced.

"Very nice, a very bustling city."

"It's amazing, I've never seen such a great city."

"It's a city of miracles."

"..."

The nobles below praised him one after another, and no one dared to say anything bad.

"So, everyone, do you want your city to develop as well?" Liu Feng raised his lips slightly.

"Of course I think about it, please Your Excellency Liu Feng teach us." A nobleman shouted with bright eyes.

"I said before that we need to do business for everyone." Liu Feng raised a finger and said, "Then let me tell you now."

"What's the business?" Viscount Guinny shouted.

"Don't worry." Liu Feng glanced at Viscount Genie, and said calmly, "Do you know why your city can't develop?"

"This..." Someone was speechless.

"We don't have any good craftsmanship." Someone began to complain.

"It doesn't have the brains of Your Excellency Liu Feng." Some people also started to flatter.

"..."

"Really? Then apart from these things, what difference do you find between my city and yours?" Liu Feng raised his lips slightly.

"The common people are living well." Suddenly a female nobleman shouted.

"This lady got the answer right." Liu Feng glanced at Xilan in the crowd below, it was his entrustment.

He went on to say, "Then, everyone will definitely ask why, and what does it have to do with you."

"Yeah? What's the matter?" Someone asked.

"Where do you think your money comes from?" Liu Feng asked, spreading his hands.

"The output in the territory, as well as the taxes of the common people." Viscount Genie responded with a frown.

"So, how is the life of the civilians in your territory?" Liu Feng continued to ask, "How is it compared to the civilians in my territory?"

"It's poor, there's no comparison." Hana from Chitu City shouted.

"Yes, common people are so poor, how can you collect so much tax?" Liu Feng shrugged.

"That's right, those civilians are very poor, and they can't even collect taxes if they want to."

"Damn, what can I do?"

The crowd below suddenly started talking, saying everything.

"Everyone, I have a suggestion here, please listen to it." Liu Feng interrupted everyone's discussion.

"Speak," said Viscount Gambaff.

"In terms of taxation, I would like to ask everyone to abolish some unnecessary taxes, so as to make life easier for ordinary people. If they get rich, you can also have income." Liu Feng said lightly. .

"Then what shall we eat?" Some nobles were unwilling.

"It depends on your choice. I will give everyone some crafts or new types of seed food, but you have to pay something to get these things." Liu Feng said with a serious face.

"Is it the manufacturing process of linen?" A city owner shouted.

"It's also included, it depends on how you choose." Liu Feng nodded.

"What price do we have to pay?" cried Viscount Gambaff.

"Taxes." Liu Feng propped his hands on the podium, leaned forward, looked at everyone with black eyes, and said with a serious face, "I want you to pay taxes for me."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect it to be like this at all.

Asking them to pay taxes to Liu Feng, doesn't that mean that they all work for Liu Feng? How could some people want to.

"We need to change some policies, policies that can speed up your development and allow you to collect a lot of taxes." Liu Feng said calmly.
