Chapter 180 Missing each other (eight thousand characters chapter)(1/4)

Buck City is different from other cities that Zhang Feng has seen.

In addition to the retro, tall and charming buildings in the city, the residents here also show a strong sense of confidence.

This kind of confidence is exaggerated from the inside out, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that the nostrils look at people, but the civilians here walk with their heads raised and their chests are not as timid as other cities, and they dare not look at people.

As people from the royal capital, of course they also have this capital.

For example, welfare benefits are much better than residents in other cities. Some people even said that even begging for food in the capital is better than being an ordinary person in some remote small towns!

Zhang Feng didn't know whether this was true or false, but he did see many beggars.

As soon as they entered the city, a group of beggars were preparing to siege on the side of the road in the city, but Zhang Feng came by a small steamer. They had never seen this thing before. They were a little scared for a moment and dared not come forward.

This saved Zhang Feng a lot of trouble. He asked Abei curiously.

"Does the capital still have beggars?"

Abe asked back with some surprise:

"Shouldn't there be beggars in the king?"

“…I don’t have any in my Red Leaf City…”

“…”

Feeling that Tian'er was a little chatting, Zhang Feng coughed and changed the subject.

"Do you know where the busiest commercial center in the city is?"

“Business Center…”

After following Zhang Feng for a long time, Abei is no longer surprised and understands new terms like Zhang Feng that appear from time to time.

"If you mean the place with the most merchants and the most shops, it should be not far ahead."

Abbe pointed ahead.

"That's right, let's go and take a look."

"Um."

In fact, in the Kingdom of Baker, or in this world, there has always been business, but it has never been valued.

Especially when the rulers were nobles, most of them looked down on merchants from the bottom of their hearts, but they had to need merchants.

After all, businessmen hate it, but gold coins are not!

Therefore, the relationship between merchants and nobles became more complicated.

Generally, nobles would not say in public that they have any industry, and they thought it would be unavailable. But in private, they asked merchants to help them work and make money.

It seems that the businessman is unlucky, but it is not.

Because the name of aristocrats is a natural protective umbrella, if they cooperate with the nobles, they will pay some of the benefits, but they will save a lot of trouble.

For both sides, this is a win-win situation.

This is how Buck City’s commercial center is now.

"This is the XX industry of Marquis XX..."

Whenever Zhang Feng looked at some shops, Abei would give Zhang Feng an answer.

At first I didn’t feel anything, but as I listened, Zhang Feng discovered that almost all the industries here were monopolized by the nobles of Buck City!

There were no independent businessmen at all. Even those who came back from Hongye City before, those from the Hongye Business Alliance were backed by various nobles.

If this is the case, it would be a bit difficult for Zhang Feng to open a store in Buck City and gain the reputation of Hongye City.

Although the market here is large, it still has a scope after all. As long as Zhang Feng participates and gets a share of the pie, someone's interests will definitely be damaged.

Moreover, the damage will definitely not be small. Zhang Feng is still very confident about the store he opened.

If everyone is a businessman, then Zhang Feng has nothing to be afraid of. As long as he acts within the rules, no one can do anything to Zhang Feng.

But it’s different if there are nobles behind them, and nobles won’t tell you the rules.

In other words, the rules are set by the nobles. How to say the rules depends on their mouths.

If Zhang Feng’s business is small, no one will spend this effort to deliberately target Zhang Feng, but as long as Zhang Feng becomes serious, Zhang Feng himself doesn’t know how big the business scale can be!

He was just a little foreign nobleman, even though he was an earl now, he was still an outsider.

Those nobles will definitely not let Zhang Feng grow unscrupulously.

After all, this is something that concerns one's own personal interests, and no one will give in.

Unless, Zhang Feng has an identity that they can't afford to offend!

And the existence that Buck City, or the entire Buck Kingdom, seems to be the only few people who can fear these nobles.

Thinking of the queen who gave Zhang Feng a good sense today, and thinking of Annie's identity, Zhang Feng felt that if he could hold the queen's thigh... wouldn't that be very confusing?

"You said, if I want to buy these stores, will I be rejected?"

Zhang Feng asked Abei.

"As long as the price you offer is satisfied with the other party, you will naturally not refuse."

"I mean, I may have bought a lot of stores..."

Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed.

“How many are there?”

"Start from here."

Zhang Feng pointed to the place he had just arrived, and then pointed to the end of the road.

"...You don't want to buy this street!"

"Well, although it feels a little bit small, it can be used even if it is just a matter of course."

“…”

Abei looked at Zhang Feng speechlessly, what he said was human words!

Isn't it enough to buy a street?

“It’s not cheap to buy this street.”

Abei always feels that Zhang Feng is bragging.

This is the best place in Buck City. If you buy a street here, the price is definitely a sky-high price!

"I know, but I think I can still afford it."

"Even if you can afford it, you will definitely encounter some trouble when you buy so much at once."

Although Abei doesn't know how to do business, he still knows these basic things. Zhang Feng's making such a big deal at once and is still an outsider, he will definitely attract attention and even encounter some trouble.

"I understand, I won't buy it for now, let's talk about it."

Zhang Feng nodded.

Seeing this, Abei didn't say much.

The small steam car that Zhang Feng was riding in attracted countless people's attention along the way, and Zhang Feng had no choice but to think about it, but on the other hand, it was a good thing. Zhang Feng estimated that their news would definitely spread throughout Buck City for up to three days.

Because he promised to buy things for the beast-eared ladies, Zhang Feng parked the car in a corner, and then Abei called out a few patrol soldiers to help guard.

Whatever you do with shopping, whether it is a human or an orc woman, you are very interested.

Although Zhang Feng felt that the things they bought were useless, he couldn't stand their happiness, so Zhang Feng let them go.

As for the envious gazes that frequently cast, Zhang Feng naturally ignored them.

The fox-Earing Girl and the others did not disguise themselves, and they directly exposed the orcs' faces. Anyway, they came out openly and did not need to be sneaky.

The people in Buck City are very curious about the orcs. They have only heard of them, but this is the first time they have actually seen them. If Abbe hadn't been on the side of the golden royal knight, they would have been watched.

"Zhang Feng, I don't want to go shopping!"

She was noticed everywhere she went. After a long time, the fox-Earing Girl couldn't stand it, and she suddenly lost her interest.

Looking at the fox-eared lady who was pulling her sleeves and acting coquettishly, Zhang Feng asked everyone:

"Where are you?"

"I won't go shopping anymore, I won't go shopping anymore!"

"Okay, let's go find a place to stay first."

"Earl Zhang Feng, His Highness has prepared a place for you, you don't need to be so troubled."

Abe suddenly spoke.

"Well? Then the relationship is good, where is it?"

"I'll take you there now!"

This place is not very far from the commercial center. It was originally a Count's home. Later, after the Count's death, the family was not strong, and the title was worse than the previous generation. Now they have become barons. They can no longer afford to live here, so they were recycled.

This is a small three-story castle. The house is not big, but there is a large yard with weeds growing in it. Zhang Feng still likes it very much, after all, it doesn’t cost money!
