Zhang Feng was confident that he would manage the far north, provided that no one came to make trouble.

The contract he signed with the king made this clear.

Even better than Zhang Feng imagined, the king completely handed over the autonomy of the far north to Zhang Feng. Apart from paying a tax of 100,000 gold coins every year, there was almost no restriction, and no one allowed others to limit Zhang Feng!

All of this is said to have a lot to do with the sound that Fox Ear Girl shouted before, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Thank you so much!"

Zhang Feng gently stroked the fox-eared girl's hair lying in her arms.

"Yeah ~ It's good that it can help you!"

The fox-Earing Girl transformed into a whimpering monster, and Zhang Feng was looking at it with a black thread on his forehead.

...

...

the next day.

Legends about Zhang Feng have been circulated in Buck City, of course, they are all negative.

What are the news about "a big foreign dog family who was cheated badly", "the worst-lucked marquis in history", "the man who loses 100,000 gold coins every year" and so on.

One by one, they are all serious, as if they are on the scene.

If Zhang Feng hadn't been the "victim", he would have believed it.

Now Zhang Feng is in the commercial area of ​​Buck City. Since the fief has been obtained at no cost, it is time to buy shops, real estate, etc. There are so many goods in Hongye Steam No. 1 that are not sold.

The one who was accompanied was Mao Er Niang, who is now Zhang Feng’s little secretary.

The saying that Buck City is the most prosperous city in the Buck Kingdom is not a false reputation.

At least Zhang Feng has never seen such a huge commercial area in other cities.

The weather is still cold today, but there are still many pedestrians on the streets of the commercial district, and some shops are even full of customers.

Although Zhang Feng is famous, most of his appearance is still unclear, so when he comes to the commercial area, he doesn't attract much attention.

"Master, which shops do you want to buy?"

The cat-eared girl looked at the numerous shops and was a little dazzled.

"It's not what I want to buy, but who are willing to sell."

Zhang Feng shook his head. Now it looks like the business of these stores is very good, and no one should be willing to sell them.

But I have come here, so it’s not a big deal to ask. At worst, I can think of a solution after looking back.

More than an hour later, things were almost the same as Zhang Feng thought.

He asked many stores, and although the real owners in many stores were not there, the caliber was surprisingly uniform: not to sell - unless you add money!

It is naturally impossible to increase money. Those people saw that Zhang Feng was an outsider, and they all started with lions. Although Zhang Feng could afford it, there was no need to spend this money in vain.

"Do you want to find an acquaintance?"

Although he is a marquis, the foreign marquis are not very useful in the capital. After all, there are many dukes here, let alone marquis. The other party may respect Zhang Feng very much, but want them to suffer a loss? It is impossible!

The acquaintance Zhang Feng refers to the queen, but Zhang Feng doesn't want to see the queen, and he always feels that the woman is a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, I'd better forget it. If it really doesn't work, go find her again.

Zhang Feng brought Cat Earn to the City Hall.

House purchases and sales are handled in the city hall.

"Hello, Lord Marquis, do you need any help?"

A middle-aged man with a big belly greeted him respectfully.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Feng generously put the medal indicating the identity of the marquis on his chest, so the other party could see his identity at a glance.

"I want to buy a shop, are there any left?"

Zhang Feng didn't say nonsense, and spoke very directly.

"Shop? Sir, please allow me to check it out. I don't think much of it, but there should be..."

"Okay, please trouble you."

"No trouble or trouble! It is my honor to be able to serve the Marquis!"

The other party went to search for information happily.

I have to say that his identity as a marquis is quite useful at some point. Theoretically, the city hall and the aristocrat are two different systems. There is no superior-level relationship between the two parties, and neither can order anyone. However, Zhang Feng is a marquis after all, and the workers working in the city hall are very polite to Zhang Feng.

"Sir, all the unsold shops in Buck City are here."

The municipal official took out a sheepskin map, which marked the information of some shops. The shop had a small black dot that had been sold, while the red dot had not been sold yet.

At first glance, it was almost all black spots.

But Zhang Feng discovered an unexpected situation.

"Why are there so many shops not sold here?"

Zhang Feng asked pointing to a place.

Judging from the map, although this place is not the best location in the commercial area, it is not bad either. Logically speaking, it is impossible to have so many empty houses.

But it's red here.

“Uh…this…”

The city magistrate didn't know how to speak.

"What, what can't be said? Could it be that I still need to go to the palace to find His Majesty the King for advice?"

Zhang Feng showed unhappiness and moved out of the king's banner.

"No, no! The Marquis misunderstood. This is the thing..."

The city administrator didn't care whether Zhang Feng could see the king directly. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend a marquis.

"These shops used to belong to a Count, but because... for some reasons, the business conditions of these shops were not very good, so the Count put the shops here to sell them on our behalf..."

“Not sold?”

“Not sold.”

"Why?"

Zhang Feng was a little strange. This location does not look bad. Even if it is a little more expensive, it should have been bought by someone. How could it not be sold?

"this……"

When the city administrator looked around and confirmed that no one was nearby, he spoke to Zhang Feng in a low voice:

"It is said that the original owners of these shops offended some people with great backgrounds, and those people joined forces, and then... When these shops were still open, the business was not good. When the shops closed, no one dared to take over because there were rumors that whoever took over would be... "

Although the city magistrate said it vaguely, Zhang Feng still understood it, and he suddenly realized it.

He just said, the location is pretty good and the space is not small, how could it be that it was not needed? It turned out that there was such a thing! But then again, Zhang Feng was a little surprised that an earl could own more than ten such good shops.

"So, Lord Marquis, are you going to look elsewhere?"

The city magistrate said carefully.

"I want it here, how much does it cost?"

"ah?"

The city magistrate was stunned and asked carefully:

"Sir, are you saying, are you going to buy these shops?"

“Yes, can’t you buy it?”

Zhang Feng smiled.

"Yes, just... just..."

The municipal official only had a long time to say it. Why did he tell Zhang Feng these things? In addition to his awe of Zhang Feng, there was another most important reason, that is, he promised some people that when someone wanted to buy these shops, he would try his best to persuade them not to buy them!

But after so long, it has basically succeeded. After all, the people who buy these shops are outsiders, and these outsiders usually want to make money, and no one wants to be troubled.

Even if some people don’t believe it, there are some ways to make him believe it.

But now it seems that Zhang Feng, the foreign marquis, obviously doesn't believe in this evil!

The city administrator was helpless, but in the face of Zhang Feng's somewhat forced eyes, he obediently helped Zhang Feng complete the procedures.

"Sir, the permanent ownership of a total of ten shops is 23,221 gold coins. Because this is sold by someone else, I have no right to give you a discount. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and wait for me to contact the original owner here..."

The city officials wanted to work hard for the last time, but Zhang Feng waved his hand.

"No, just this price."

Zhang Feng doesn’t have the time to be so troublesome, it’s just over 20,000 gold coins, it’s a slight silly!

However, it has to be said that the shops in the capital are really expensive, with more than 20,000 gold coins. At least you can buy a good title, or you can bring a large fiefdom.
