"Everyone should know what happened a few days ago. Those unscrupulous grain merchants raised the price of wheat by several copper coins before the autumn harvest, and recklessly harvested everyone's copper coins."

"Even if everyone will starve to death, the unscrupulous grain merchants will continue to raise the price of wheat. They only care about their copper coin income, and they don't care about everyone's life or death."

Having said that, Liu Feng looked at the hated people below and knew that the atmosphere he wanted had already been achieved.

"Everyone knows that because I want to change Xiyang City, I recruit everyone to help me with the work. Because the City Lord's Mansion does not have many copper coins, there are only some remaining wheat, and the wheat can only be paid to everyone as a salary."

When these words fell, many civilians cheered.

"Lord Lord is a good noble!"

"We like a city master like you."

"Lord Liu Feng, just leave the work to us, and anyone who is lazy will be beaten to death."

Liu Feng looked at the excited civilians and knew that it was time for dinner. After waving his hand to calm everyone down, he said in a low voice, "Just because everyone can receive wheat as a salary from me, those unscrupulous grain merchants will not be able to sell the high-priced wheat. Get out and they blame me for everything."

"Even, such a black-hearted grain merchant actually wants to murder a nobleman and make everyone lose their jobs, and then they can go to them to buy high-priced wheat, coarse wheat for six copper coins per pound."

In the crowd, there were bursts of exclamations. Everyone was too impressed with the high price of wheat. For six copper coins per pound of wheat, few families could eat it for a few days.

"What? They actually dare to murder a noble, or a good noble like the Lord of the City???"

"Damn, a black-hearted grain merchant, who dares to murder Mr. Liu Feng, it's abominable."

"My lord, hang all those grain merchants, let them be punished, dig out their black hearts, let the wild dogs devour them, and be a piece of shit in the next life."

"Yes! Hang them."

"Hang them!!!"

The commoners all shouted in unison, and Niu Ben, who was beside him, made a gesture below, and immediately someone took the six grain merchants in black cloth bags to the gallows.

Liu Feng wanted to use public execution to establish the majesty of his city lord.

Chapter 0050 The right to buy and sell wheat.

Six grain merchants were put on the gallows, and the executioners put noose around their necks.

The faces of the grain merchants were ashen. The ghosts knew what they had experienced last night. Instead, they felt that the noose around their necks was a relief. They would rather die than go back to the dark and damp punishment room.

There are three kinds of executions in this world. One is hanging, which is hanging.

Then there is the burning at the stake, where people are tied to a cross and then burned to death.Of course, the last one is beheading.

"Bah! Deserving it, you black-hearted grain merchants will have today."

"That is, bah, you can't earn copper coins, but you dare to murder the Lord of the City. You really deserve to die."

The civilians scolded one after another, and those who were bolder and more willing smashed their shoes out.

In fact, what killed the grain merchants was the last point, that is, they wanted to murder Liu Feng.

If it's just high-priced wheat, Liu Feng can't say anything. They just sell wheat formally, but the price is higher. Whoever lets them have wheat, and there is no such thing as a price bureau in this world, whoever controls the grain has the right to speak.

But people's greed killed them. Even if there was no murder charge, Liu Feng would make it difficult for them to live. It was just that before the start, the grain merchant chose to murder Liu Feng.

Niu Ben was holding a roll of sheepskin, and now the City Lord’s Mansion used paper, and the sheepskin roll was only used for important decisions, or occasions like today’s trial.

"...These six people have been tried by Lord Liu Feng, and the following are their charges, one for disrupting market order, two for murdering nobles, three...four... Hereby, sentenced to death and executed by hanging."

This is a foreign version of an open judicial judgment. Of course, if the grain merchants don't keep their mouths shut, this trial may not be so quiet.

There was endless fear in the eyes of the fat grain merchant. Tears were like brooks, his nose was full of snot, and his nostrils kept expanding.

Why is this happening?I don't want to die!The grain merchants shouted in their hearts, the life they enjoyed has just begun, why is this happening.

The grain merchants looked at Liu Feng with hatred. They were all nobles like this madman. If it wasn't for him, maybe he wouldn't have to die.

Lord Baron Omar will avenge us, all the wheat is his, he will not let this Liu Feng go!

"implement!"

"implement!!"

"implement!!!"

Three executions, one higher than one, and in the end, all six grain merchants were hanged to death.

Liu Feng calmly looked at the hanging six people, waved his hands, and immediately someone went to clean up the bodies for cremation.

He understands the eyes of several grain merchants, does Baron Omar?He is not afraid of each other at all now.

Rather, he now expects the other party to come over, his soldiers need a real battle, and he lacks slaves for mining, and those horse thieves are the best slaves.

The death of the grain merchant caused fear in the eyes of some civilians, who looked at Liu Feng in awe.

What Liu Feng wanted was this effect, he stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone, in order to prevent the tragedy of high-priced wheat from happening, now as the city lord, I declare that the right to sell wheat belongs to the city lord's mansion, and buy and sell wheat. It can only be done with the City Lord's Mansion."

"That is, after your autumn harvest, in addition to the [-]% of the tax you paid, the remaining wheat, if you are worried about the improper storage of the wheat, or the fear of mildew and rot, if you want to sell the wheat, you can only sell it to the City Lord's Mansion. "

"It is forbidden to sell wheat privately, or buy wheat. The City Lord's Mansion will buy everyone's wheat at the market price. Of course, if you buy wheat, the City Lord's Mansion will also sell it to everyone at the market price."

This is the focus of Liu Feng today. The right to buy and sell grain belongs to the city lord's mansion, and the order of the market is in his own hands. Next time, there will be no such thing as high-priced wheat.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he controls the lifeline. In this era, filling the stomach is the luxury of the common people, so Liu Feng, who controls the food, is the person who has the most say.

"Lord City Lord, how many copper coins are there for a pound of wheat now?" Someone daring shouted.

The commoners under the high platform looked at Liu Feng with anticipation. They were all frightened by the high price of wheat. If it wasn't for the salary that Liu Feng had made, they might have left Xiyang City to find a way to survive.

"The market price of wheat a few days ago was two copper coins for coarse wheat, so the City Lord's Mansion is naturally selling two copper coins per pound of wheat." Liu Feng smiled gently and said affirmatively!

"..." The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and some people were even more excited to shed tears, and the next second burst into an unprecedented cry.

"Long live the city master, long live, long live!"

"Long live Lord Liu Feng, long live, long live!"

This shout made Liu Feng's mouth tremble, how could he have a sense of being an emperor.

Niu Ben on the side twitched the corners of his mouth, and he subconsciously swept a circle of people, there were a few familiar faces, and they shouted 'long live'.

All right!This was a few trusts that Niu Ben arranged immediately after he knew about the young master's plan. After all, nobles often used this trick to incite ignorant commoners.

The word 'long live' was what Mina told him. I heard that the young master described a great person in his hometown and hoped that the other party would live a long life.

Then the second step of the plan was completed, and the rest was the last step. Niu Ben looked at Liu Feng worriedly. This last step was the most dangerous step.
