Buff left with deep confusion, increasingly unable to comprehend the actions of the City Lord.
Could there really be a nobleman willing to do so much for the commoners? Buff had visited several cities, but he had never seen such a nobleman.
He had only encountered a few kind-hearted noble ladies who would distribute wheat bread, hard as wood, to the starving commoners in the city.
Looking at what was recorded on the scroll, one could receive 0.5 kilogram of wheat or a meal for a day just by working for the City Lord.
Wasn't this aiding all the commoners in West Sun City? Did the City Lord know about the wickedness of those grain merchants? But such relief would bankrupt the City Lord.
Working for the City Lord? There were still twenty days left before the autumn harvest. Besides harvesting wheat, what other work was there to do?
Below the scroll, Buff also saw some strange notices. The City Lord would replan West Sun City, acquire houses in several areas, and rebuild them. The original owners would receive a new house based on the size of their land.
Perhaps those willing to sell their land could do so, with the City Lord's office purchasing it at 20 copper coins per square meter.
This point was even more confusing to Buff. Demolishing those shabby houses and then rebuilding them to give a new house? Everyone would rush to give their old houses to the City Lord, wouldn't they?
As for those who sold their land, Buff couldn't imagine who would be so foolish. At 20 copper coins per square meter, the houses in the city now were worth more than 30 copper coins per square meter. A family would have to work a month to buy a few square meters.
It was already an old house, and after the rebuilding, they could own a new one. Such a good thing was hard to come by.
The more Buff looked, the more he wanted to go back and tell the City Lord to retract these orders. This was too disadvantageous, but realizing he was just a commoner, he didn't have the courage to question anything.
"Sigh, I hope the City Lord's decision won't be wrong. Such a good City Lord is hard to find." Buff left with the scroll.
Nicole had the same doubts. She watched Buff leave and placed the pastry on the desk. That document was read by Liu Feng, and she copied it down.
"Young Master, according to your requirements, the gold coins in the treasury won't last long." Nicole expressed her doubts.
Liu Feng chuckled, "What, do you also think I'm at a loss?"
"Well..." Nicole hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded. "Young Master, by helping everyone rebuild their houses for free and giving them wheat to eat, you're definitely at a loss."
"Hahaha..." Liu Feng laughed instead and took out a blueprint from the drawer, placing it before Nicole. "Take a look at this blueprint first."
Nicole curiously took the blueprint and her eyes immediately widened, her mouth forming an O-shape.
The blueprint depicted a magnificent city with wide streets and two-stony houses. Trees lined both sides of the roads, neatly and orderly.
"Y-Young Master, is this the city you want to rebuild?" Nicole asked, a bit surprised.
Liu Feng nodded affirmatively and smiled, "Yes, those two-stony buildings aren't just one house. Building one can exchange for several pieces of land, so it's not a loss at all. The extra houses can be sold."
"Moreover, building these houses requires labor. I can give wheat as wages or provide meals for a day. In this way, those grain merchants' wheat won't sell."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that the wheat can be smoothly transported back from other cities tomorrow. Otherwise, this plan will have to be postponed for a few days."
Liu Feng's method was commonly used by real estate companies on Earth. For example, if you had a piece of land but no money to build a house and didn't want to sell the land.
Then the developer would help you build the house. The developer would build a twenty or thirty-stony building, and five floors would be given to you, while the rest would belong to the developer.
Nicole understood. She knew about the magical cement. Thinking this way, it was killing several birds with one stone. They were only paying wheat or meals as wages, but what they got was a transformation of West Sun City.
With many new houses, more importantly, it also hit the grain merchants, and the commoners wouldn't starve. They could obtain food through labor and own new houses.
With nearly two thousand people in West Sun City working together and with cement, it wouldn't take long to build many houses.
"Young Master, you're so amazing." Nicole's excited face turned red, her chest heaving, her eyes watery, gazing at Liu Feng intently.
For a girl, a capable man was like a strong magnet, exceptionally attractive.
"Ahem..." Liu Feng felt the strange gaze of a certain cat-eared girl and couldn't help but clear his throat lightly.
"Ah..." Nicole regained her composure, covered her face shyly, and ran away. She had become infatuated.
Liu Feng chuckled and shook his head, turning to look at the quiet Mina. "You seem a bit off today. Are you worried about the orcs appearing in the forest?"
"Ah... this, that..." Mina hesitated a bit. She was indeed worried about the orcs, which reminded her of Anli.
Although she thought Anli should now be on the way to the south with the orcs, she was afraid that if Anli didn't go, she wanted to confirm the suddenly appearing orcs.
But Mina was also afraid that Liu Feng would misunderstand that she had brought those orcs. She didn't know why, but she just didn't want Liu Feng to misunderstand her.
"Go, this is your forever home. Just remember to come back." Liu Feng smiled warmly.
"I'll be back tonight!" Mina twisted her hips, swished her cat tail, and went to the door, revealing a charming smile on her lips.
"There's no such good City Lord in other places!!!"
