Chapter 7 Selling titles

The next day.

Zhang Feng slept until the sun shone in his butt before getting up.

"I'm also very hearted..."

When Zhang Feng saw the rising sun, he felt a little self-deprecating.

Last night, I was worried that I would be cheated by Pan Xi, so I was thinking about it and fell asleep as I thought about it.

I came to the kitchen and found a fairly clean iron pot, washed it with water, and then burned a large pot of hot water.

Zhang Feng first poured part of the boiled hot water into another small pot and prepared to cool it down as today's drinking water. Zhang Feng couldn't drink that sour beer, so it's okay to drink more hot water.

Then he poured the remaining water into the wooden barrel, added some cold water and felt that the temperature was almost the same, so he took off all his legs, jumped into the wooden barrel, and took a good hot shower.

“Comfortable~”

The negative emotions such as nervousness, fatigue, and at a loss for the past three days seemed to be swept away. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, listening to the chirping of birds on the trees, especially looking at his big house, Zhang Feng felt that traveling here was not so unacceptable.

After taking a shower, he soaked a few compressed biscuits in boiling water and simply solved the breakfast. Zhang Feng was preparing to go to the market to purchase some supplies.

After all, there is not much in the bag, so I may finish it in one day after I eat it. However, when I think of the black bread I saw on the market before, Zhang Feng felt his gums ached faintly.

With gold coins in his arms, Zhang Feng was cautious all the way, afraid of stepping on landmines. Only now he understood why those ancient Western men loved to wear high heels.

When he arrived at the Hongye City Market, Zhang Feng felt that there were not as many people in the market today as yesterday, and many stalls were empty.

Speaking of people, Zhang Feng felt that he should recruit some servants. After all, with such a big family, he was too deserted by himself. Anyway, he had money now, so he could afford to hire him.

While thinking, Zhang Feng found that there seemed to be a notice posted on the bulletin board in front, surrounded by a group of people.

Watching the fun is human instinct, and Zhang Feng is no exception. He ran over happily.

"Baron Charles sells his title, together with the territory and Charles' personal wealth, only 100 gold coins?"

Can aristocratic titles be sold? And so cheap?

Zhang Feng was a little surprised and subconsciously recited it out loud.

In fact, 100 gold coins are already a lot, but Zhang Feng doesn’t understand the purchasing power of gold coins in this world. After all, yesterday he only used three items to exchange for half a city.

These civilians almost didn't know how to read. When they heard Zhang Feng's words, they were surprised.

"How could Baron Charles sell his title?"

"Is he going to leave our Red Leaf City?"

"This is not certain. I heard that Hongye City has never been able to make money for the City Lord's Mansion. Do you really have to give up on us?"

“Will this be fake?”

"It should be true, the city hall and the lord's mansion have stamped the seal, and Baron Charles' handprints."

"This is an opportunity to become a nobleman, but 100 gold coins are too expensive. I suspect that no one in Hongye City can bring out so many gold coins..."

"I don't even think Lord Charles himself can take it out..."

Listening to these people's comments, Zhang Feng frowned and always felt that these two things should have something to do with each other when he thought about some of the people who left in a hurry last night.

A shadow suddenly appeared. Looking at the figure passing by like a hill, Zhang Feng said hello.

"Mr. Pansy?"

"Ah...Herson Zhang Feng?"

Pan Xi was a little surprised to meet Zhang Feng here and his face was a little unnatural.

"Good morning."

"Good morning...good morning."

Zhang Feng was sure that Pan Xi must have something hidden from him, and he had to find a way to see if he could make some things happen.

"Your Excellency Pansy seems to have something to worry about?"

Zhang Feng pretended to ask inadvertently.

“No, no.”

Pan Xi waved his hands repeatedly, but the more he did, the more Zhang Feng felt that he had a ghost in his heart.

"You also sold this Charles title?"

"Uh, no, I don't have such great power. It's the city hall and the city lord's mansion. I'm just an errand runner!"

Zhang Feng's eyes rolled and said:

"I'm very interested in the territory here. If you can promise me a condition, I'll buy it."

Zhang Feng deliberately did not mention the title, but only said he was interested in the territory, because after all, his personality is now "noble" and belongs to people who already have the title to prevent it from being exposed. He guessed that Pansy would definitely have a considerable commission as an errand.

Pan Xi had been struggling for a long time, but he could not resist the temptation of gold coins. Zhang Feng guessed correctly. If he could sell the title, he would get a large commission.

"Hisser Zhang Feng, please tell me."

"Just tell me what happened in Hongye City recently, or what you have hidden from me. Don't worry, I will never pursue it. Even if you earn my gold coins, I won't pursue it. You know, I don't lack gold coins!"

Zhang Feng looked indifferent.

Pan Xi thought about it. Anyway, the previous contract had been signed, so Zhang Feng couldn't regret it. Now, another opportunity to make money must be seized!

So he pulled Zhang Feng into the corner where no one was, and whispered mysteriously:

"Baron Charles is dead!"

"Ah? Then is your title transaction legal?"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised when he heard this news.

"Of course, our city hall has complete procedures. Please rest assured that I can't deceive a nobleman on the contract!"

"Then why don't you want the title of aristocrat? Don't you want to become aristocrats? You can sell them to your own people at a cheap price!"

Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"Of course not, everyone wants to be a noble!"

Pansy organized the language and continued.

"But the situation here is a bit special. First of all, there is only one noble title, and there are more than a dozen men in the city hall, and there are no choices.

Then, if you sell it to your own people at a cheap price, everyone will be less gold coins, and no one will be willing. If it is expensive, no one can afford gold coins!

So in the end they came up with a way to sell the title and territory to other nobles, or big merchants, and then share the gold coins they received."

There is another thing Pan Xi didn't say, that is, the current Red Leaf City will be ruined at any time. If you become the lord of Red Leaf City, you must bring Red Leaf City back to life, otherwise it would be meaningless to buy a dead city.

"That's how..."

Zhang Feng touched his chin. He knew that Pan Xi must have hidden something, but without asking, he had guessed that after all, a city without a leader would definitely be panic, especially when he thought of the rich people who saw that he had left with supplies last night, he knew that the situation in Hongye City itself was not very good now.

But it doesn't matter, and Zhang Feng doesn't care about these things.

He just wanted to buy a noble title and experience the feeling of becoming a real noble.

"Okay, I bought it!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Pan Xi was excited. He could get one tenth of the 100 gold coins! The 10 gold coins from yesterday can be earned!

Although Zhang Feng does not have a hundred gold coins, he has something else.

When he returned home with Pan Xi, Zhang Feng took out a few bottles of beer and a pack of compressed biscuits. Pan Xi's eyes shone brightly and signed a contract with him.

In fact, Zhang Feng just signed the autograph and sealed it alone. Many places on the contract were filled in, and Charles's own fingerprints were even included.

However, I noticed a detail. There was a contract that after Zhang Feng became the lord of Hongye City, Pan Xi was allowed to leave.

Zhang Feng didn't care, so he signed it happily.

"Dear City Lord, happy cooperation!"

Pansy performed a not-so-standard aristocratic ceremony and presented a nobility medal to represent the baron.

"I'm now aristocrat? It seems that it's no different!"

Zhang Feng didn't feel like he was shocked.

At the same time, in the castle hall.
