Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 8: High Rewards Will Get Brave Men

Chapter 8: High Rewards Will Get Brave Men

"In other words, when it's time for the wheat to be harvested, people will come to rob it?" Liu Feng frowned.

"Of course, weak cities will be robbed," Mina said confidently. She had tailed thieves before and had witnessed the events with her own eyes.

Liu Feng frowned. It wasn't that far away from the autumn harvest; there were at most 20 days left. He immediately thought of Carter and realized why Carter sold him the city and the territory.

"What are you going to do now? I didn't even find a single maid or a guard in this castle, let alone a knight."

Mina put her arms in front of her chest and said, "Without a knight, it's impossible for you to resist the attack of the thieves. When the time comes, you will also be killed by the thieves. They will then occupy your castle and become the new owners of this city."

She had often heard of such things. Several cities have been occupied by thieves, and they were openly doing so.

"Indeed, Carter took away the original knights and guards," Liu Feng said, sighing.

If there were no incidents, then twenty days later, his life as a city lord would end.

"Do you want to come with me?" Mina said suddenly. She didn't know why she said that and she blushed. She explained, "I'm just repaying you, yes, I'm just repaying you."

Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the catgirl and said calmly, "Isn't there still twenty days?"

"You..." Seeing Liu Feng's confident smile, she stopped what she was about to say to persuade him, and said angrily, "Then you better not die."

She left without waiting for Liu Feng to answer. She gave Liu Feng some time to digest everything. I am a considerate catgirl!

Liu Feng looked at the closed door, and a cold light flashed across his eyes, "Carter, good scheme, good scheme, but..."

"Recruiting experienced hunters, 16 to 30 years old, limited to 50 people. People who pass the trial three days later will have a monthly salary of 100 copper coins."

"Recruiting physically strong people, no bad habits, 16 to 30 years old, limited to 100 people. People who pass the interview three days later will have a monthly salary of 80 copper coins."

"The above two lines are requirements for joining the army. Those who are interested, please take the test in front of the City Lord's Mansion three days later."

Everyone was in a daze when Ba Fu finished reading, and then a clamor broke out.

"That's a lie, right? 80 copper coins to serve in the army for one month?"

"Yeah, even a hunter gets 100 copper coins. That's absurd."

"The previous city lord only offered a monthly salary of 50 copper coins to serve in the army. Does this new city lord have a lot of money?"

The average monthly salary in this world for people that went to work was about 40 to 50 copper coins, including most people that served in the army.

A family of three with a monthly salary of 60 copper coins could barely support themselves. After all, the wheat in Xi Yang City cost 2 copper coins per ounce, and adding on wild vegetables barely allows the family to have enough to eat. Because of how high Liu Feng's salary was, many people were tempted.

This was one of Liu Feng's strategies: high rewards will get brave men.

. Luxury or sumptuous. Yeah, doesn't sound right.

. Documents. Author only wrote documents, but it's obviously a job so I put in clerk. Also, clerk seemed to fit the job descriptions in future chapters the best.

. Literally, heavy gold must have brave men. Basically means that as long as reward is high enough, there will be people willing to do the work.
