"boom!"
The study door was closed, Mina was standing in the corridor, her cheeks were flushed, her blue eyes were misty, and her lips were pursed.
Mina didn't know what happened to her tonight, but she actually asked what kind of woman the young master would marry as his wife. She knew the answer to this question.
A noble will of course marry a noble girl as his wife, even if it is different, he will also marry a commoner girl, such as a beautiful and capable girl like Nicole.
Instead of a cat clan orc like her, a person with no special skills, an orc who can only kill, and likes to eat polished rice porridge, even if she is very beautiful.
The nobles will never marry an orc, and no one of the nobles of the human race has ever married an orc girl. Whoever does, may be laughed at by the nobles all over the world.
But Mina still asked, she had an extravagant hope in her heart, she was not qualified to ask, but she couldn't hold back in the end.
Now, Mina felt that she was lucky to ask, and the answer from the young master was beyond her expectations, but it was also the answer she wanted most in her heart.
"Maybe marry an orc as a wife!" Mina showed a captivating smile and walked away, saying this sentence all the time.
Even if it is a lie, Mina can be happy for many days, but she knows that the young master will not lie to her.
Even if the young master would not marry her, she decided not to leave the young master's side.
As long as he can accompany him, isn't this also a kind of happiness?
Chapter 0072 rampant salt merchants.
Early in the morning, the castle is a lively start again in the morning.
As for the deaths of Carter and the others, no one cared about them. The bodies were pulled and disposed of, and the five glasses were also brought back.
Liu Feng threw the glass directly into the big market. There is an auction that has not yet opened. He has a big move in the spring tomorrow, and that auction is one of them.
He will come up with some things at the auction, and those big businessmen and big nobles will throw a lot of gold coins there.
Now, what Liu Feng is worried about is the population problem. The development of the territory has reached a bottleneck, that is, the population is too small, and two-thirds of the people who build a house alone will be taken away.
Not to mention that it will be the time for the wheat harvest in a few days. After the wheat harvest, it will enter a long winter, which is also a problem he has to consider.
Are you going to be idle in winter?No, don't think about it, it is impossible to be idle, and it is impossible to be idle for a lifetime.
In this way, as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, Liu Feng was thinking about many issues, and he was skimming the development direction of Xiyang City.
For some reason, he woke up earlier today, around seven o'clock. Maybe it was Mina's problem last night that made him a little concerned.
"Gag!"
The door was pushed open, and Nicole walked in lightly, but it happened to meet Liu Feng's black eyes, which made her stay for a second.
"Huh... Young master, you're awake, I thought you'd be arriving at nine o'clock."
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. She came in to get her clothes out to bask in the sun. After all, after winter entered, drying clothes would be an extravagant hope.
The people in the castle now use the watch brought by Liu Feng to keep time.
Liu Feng brought a lot of mechanical watches, but not everyone has them, only a few close ones have them, and they are all carefully hidden for fear of being seen.
For them, this is simply a fetish, a fetish that can accurately divide time. You must know that people in this era still look at the time or the sky, or the nobles use candles as timekeeping.
"Have Mi Na and the others woke up?" Liu Feng asked casually.
"No, I don't know what happened today, Mina and Anli haven't woken up yet." Nicole said in surprise.
Usually in the morning, Mina and Enri would get up early. Mina was exercising, while Enri helped with official duties.
Not to mention, after having An Li, Liu Feng got away from the tedious official duties, some unimportant things.He handed it all over to Enri, and he handled it very well.
"Really?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the question from last night was not answered well?
Regardless of whether he is on the other side of the earth or here, he is a little white who has never been in love, but he still has basic emotional intelligence.
Marrying a cat-eared girl, fox-eared girl, etc., seems to be no problem at all, he does not reject it, on the contrary, he is a little excited.
Under the service of Nicole, Liu Feng came to the dining room and happened to see Mina and An Li yawning, both of whom had dark circles under their eyes.
"Morning!" Liu Feng greeted.
"Morning...morning!" Mina's body was a little stiff and her face flushed in response.
"Morning~~Aha~~~" Enri replied lazily, yawning with her small mouth open, her lips curled up and ready to hang on to soy sauce.
An Li glared at Mina with a bit of resentment. This mutant catwoman, for some reason, kept chatting with her all night, even if she was sleepy, she would not sleep until five o'clock in the morning.
Well, Liu Feng's answer was absolutely fine, so Mina had insomnia last night and was so excited that she was on hormones.
When Mina saw Liu Feng, she thought of last night's fantasy. She was wearing a wedding dress, sitting on the back of a high horse, and was solemnly married by Liu Feng.
The atmosphere at breakfast was a bit weird, Mina's little face was flushed, the spoon almost stuck up her nose, and she giggled from time to time.
En Li's eyes widened. She wondered if Mina was broken. She had seen this foolish look on the axe.
"Master, there is no more salt in the kitchen."
After eating breakfast, Nicole suddenly said that the salt she was talking about was the kind of snow salt that the young master brought from his hometown.
The salt of this era is not white, but gray. The taste of salt is not only salty, but also bitter.
"Go to Nekura later that night." Liu Feng nodded. After he tasted the salt of this era, he stopped eating it.
Suddenly, he remembered that salt in this era was very expensive, and he didn't know about other places, but in Xiyang City, a pound of salt cost dozens of copper coins.
The common people use a pound of salt for several months, but without salt, how can they have strength.
"Is there a salt shop over there?" Liu Feng raised his head and asked An Li.
"No, those salt merchants are unwilling to pay taxes." En Li said solemnly.
She remembered the servant's report, those salt merchants seemed to be quite arrogant, thinking that Xiyang City could not do without them.
The salt in Xiyang City is all imported, and it is all shipped from far away by salt merchants, even in several nearby cities.
To enter the big market, you have to pay tax, and the tax is calculated according to the income. The higher the income, the more tax you pay.
For example, salt merchants are basically money-grabbing businesses, and the taxes they have to pay are exaggerated. They are not willing to go to the big market to be slaughtered.
"Nicole, is there a salt mine near us?" Liu Feng asked.
"Salt mine? Is there a salt mine?" Nicole was stunned, she blinked and stared at Liu Feng.
"Master, are you mistaken? Salt comes from the sea." An Li said, and reached out and took a piece of cake from Mina's plate.
