Zhang Feng is confident that he can manage the Far North well, provided that no one comes to cause trouble.

The contract he signed with the king made this clear.

It was even better than Zhang Feng had imagined. The king completely handed over the autonomy of the Far North to Zhang Feng. Apart from the annual tax of 100,000 gold coins, there were almost no restrictions. At the same time, no one else could restrict Zhang Feng! All of this was closely related to the shout from the fox-eared woman, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Thank you so much!"

Zhang Feng gently stroked the hair of the fox-eared girl who was lying in his arms.

"Oh, oh, oh~ I'm glad I can help you!"

The fox-eared girl turned into a crying monster, which made Zhang Feng frown.

"Do you want to find someone you know?"

The weather is still cold today, but there are still many pedestrians on the streets in the commercial district, and some shops are packed with customers.

"ah?"

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. If it really doesn't work, I'll go find her again.

But since I'm here, it doesn't hurt to ask. I can just think of a solution later.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

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

Zhang Feng looked unhappy and brought out the king's banner.

With so many shops at once, he could finally set up his stall in Buck City.

More than an hour later, things turned out pretty much as Zhang Feng had expected.

The one who accompanied him was the cat-eared girl, who is now Zhang Feng’s secretary.

Looking at the thick stack of house deeds in his hand, a smile appeared on Zhang Feng's face.

"I want to buy a shop. Are there any left?"

And the slave business was Delia’s forte.

"Hehe, I thought these shops would eventually be sold to those adults, but I didn't expect that they would be snatched away by someone else!"

"But if he is the one who bought it, it seems very interesting! No matter what, he has taken over the Far North after all. Before he returns to the Far North, His Majesty the King will definitely not let anything happen to him. No matter how powerful those dukes are, they are not more powerful than His Majesty the King!"

“Didn’t sell it?”

"These shops used to belong to a Lord Earl, but because... because of some reasons, the business conditions of these shops were not very good, so the Lord Earl handed the shops over to us to sell on his behalf..."

"The people who bought these shops must be outsiders. We in Buck City can't be so ignorant. Now we are going to see something interesting!"

"By the way, who were the previous owners of these shops?"

The reason why Zhang Feng thought it was Delia was because judging from some of the tools left in the shops, this was a business doing slavery.

Although the shop has been empty for a long time, it has always been maintained. This is also one of the obligations of the city hall. After all, the handling fees for selling things in the city hall are very high, so there will be some additional services.

The municipal official just didn't know what to say for a long time. Why did he tell these things to Zhang Feng? In addition to his respect for Zhang Feng, there was another most important reason, that is, he promised certain people that if someone wanted to buy these shops, he would try his best to persuade them not to buy!

"Sir, the permanent ownership of ten shops in total is priced at 23,221 gold coins. Because these are consigned by others, I have no right to give you a discount. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until I contact the original owner..."

"No, absolutely not. And there's no need for that. If His Majesty the King finds out, it will be totally a loss!"

The alderman spoke cautiously.

After Zhang Feng signed the contract to purchase the shop, the news quickly reached the ears of the merchants and nobles in Buck City.

…

However, Zhang Feng just sighed and didn't care anymore. No matter who these places belonged to before, they all belonged to Zhang Feng now. Delia's enemies had nothing to do with Zhang Feng, but if the other party really wanted to harm Zhang Feng because of these things, he would let these people know why the flowers were so red!

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

"Yes, can't I buy it?"

When Zhang Feng arrived at these ten shops, he knew that these were Delia's former shops.

If Zhang Feng himself hadn’t been the “victim”, he would have almost believed it.

"No, that's the price."

But here it's all red.

Zhang Feng was a little surprised. This location didn’t look bad. Even if the price was a little higher, there should be people who would buy it. How could it not be sold?

“Why are there so many shops here that are not selling anything?”

"It's Count Delia."

"Why?"

"Sir, are you saying that you want to buy these shops?"

"Shops? Sir, please allow me to check. I don't think there are many, but there should still be some..."

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

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Feng generously wore the medal indicating his status as a marquis on his chest, so the other party could recognize his identity at a glance.

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

"No, there is no way we can let him go! Since we can't do anything to that hateful woman, then he shouldn't blame us. He bought these shops, so he must be doing business. Then we will compete with him in a legitimate way. Whatever business he does, we will do too, and at a lower price than him! You know, the shops around those ten shops are all ours!"

"Go find some people to come over here and sort out everything here. Throw away the useless stuff. I want to open the store within three days."

"What? Someone actually bought those ten shops? Who is so bold as to go against the Duke?"

"Hello, my dear Marquis, how can I help you?"

Although the mayor wanted to stop Zhang Feng, he wanted to keep his job more. He had no choice but to help Zhang Feng complete the procedures very seriously.

Zhang Feng was smiling.

Each of them spoke in an orderly manner, as if they were all there on the scene.

"...Okay, just sign here."

The alderman was startled. He asked carefully:

"this……"

The alderman didn't care whether Zhang Feng could meet the king directly. He couldn't afford to offend a marquis anyway.

After completing all the formalities, Zhang Feng prepared to go to the shop first. He suddenly asked curiously:

Zhang Feng was stunned. If he remembered correctly, the mayor of Moore City was also called Delia!

"Then shall we teach them a little lesson?"

"Delia? Why does it sound familiar?"

Zhang Feng doesn’t have the time to go through so much trouble. It’s just more than 20,000 gold coins, no big deal!

Could it be her?

It has to be said that his identity as a marquis is quite useful at times. Theoretically, the city hall and the nobility are two different systems. There is no hierarchical relationship between the two sides, and no one can order anyone around. But Zhang Feng is a marquis after all, and the workers in the city hall are very polite to him.

"Yes, but... but..."

The alderman looked around and made sure that no one was around. He then whispered to Zhang Feng, "It is said that the original owners of these shops offended some people with strong backgrounds, and those people united, and then... when these shops were still open, business was not good. When the shops closed, no one dared to take over, because there were rumors that whoever took over would be..."

"Eh? This is great. Not only does it make us look like gentlemen, but it can also deal a blow to Zhang Feng. When he can no longer run the business and sells the store to us at a low price, we can also get back the face we lost in front of that woman. This is simply killing two birds with one stone!"

The municipal official was helpless, but facing Zhang Feng's somewhat coercive look, he still obediently helped Zhang Feng with the procedures.

…

He said, this location is not bad, the space is not small, how could there be no one who wants it, so there is such a thing! But then again, it was still a bit surprising for Zhang Feng that a count could own more than ten shops with such a good location.

…

Zhang Feng shook his head. It seemed that these shops were doing good business now, and no one would be willing to sell them.

At first glance, they are almost all black spots.

Zhang Feng is now in the commercial area of ​​Buck City. Since he has obtained the fiefdom at no cost, it is time to buy shops, real estate and other things. There are still so many goods in Hongye Steam No. 1 that have not been sold.

He had previously said that he wanted to buy a street in Buck City, but he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

Such news as "A foreign dog owner was badly cheated", "The worst luck marquis in history", "The man who loses 100,000 gold coins every year" and so on.

Zhang Feng needs to plan carefully how to use these ten stores.

Zhang Feng brought the cat-eared girl to the city hall.

But Zhang Feng discovered an unexpected situation.

Zhang Feng pointed to a place and asked.

He asked many shops. Although the real owners were not there in many shops, they all said the same thing: not for sale unless you pay more! Of course, it was impossible to pay more. Seeing that Zhang Feng was an outsider, those people asked for a lot of money. Although Zhang Feng could afford it, there was no need to spend the money.

“It didn’t sell.”

"Should we quietly teach him a lesson?"

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

"So, Lord Marquis, why don't you look somewhere else?"

The saying that Buck City is the most prosperous city in the Buck Kingdom is not undeserved.

Even if some people are stubborn and refuse to believe it, there are still ways to make them believe it.

Zhang Feng didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

The cat-eared girl left with a big bag of coins. Zhang Feng looked at his ten shops with a satisfied look.

"Why, is there something you can't tell me? Do you think I need to go to the palace to ask His Majesty the King for advice on such a small matter?"

"No, no! The Marquis has misunderstood. This is what happened..."

After such a long time, they have basically been successful. After all, the people who bought these shops are outsiders, and these outsiders generally want to make money, and no one wants to be troubled.

"good!"

"What? That woman's ten shops were sold? Or were they sold to Marquis Zhang Feng? This...what should we do?"

"I want it here, how much is it?"

"What should we do? Should we just let it go? But we've already said it. If we just let it go, where will we put our faces..."

"That's settled then. I'll have someone find out what business he's in. We'll be ready to stop him at any time!"

“Good Master!”

…

"He is really unlucky. He just took over the bottomless pit of Far North the day before, and today he bought a shop that no one dared to buy. He..."

"Uh... this..."

"It's no trouble, no trouble! It's my honor to serve the Marquis!"

“It’s not about which ones I want to buy, but which ones are willing to sell.”

Matters such as house sales are handled at the City Hall.

…

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

Although Zhang Feng is famous, most people still don't know what he looks like, so when he came to the commercial district, he didn't attract much attention.

However, it must be said that the shops with good locations in the royal capital are really expensive. With more than 20,000 gold coins, you can at least buy a good title, and that comes with a large fiefdom.

Zhang Feng spoke to the cat-eared girl.

The alderman took out a sheepskin map with information of some shops marked on it. The shops with a small black dot on them had already sold the items, while the shops with a red dot on them had not yet sold the items.

"Huh? Now that you mention it, it seems really interesting!"

The mayor wanted to make one last effort, but Zhang Feng just waved his hand.

There are five large two-story shops on both sides of a relatively spacious road. These are all the shops purchased by Zhang Feng, which can be considered a street.

Although the alderman spoke vaguely, Zhang Feng still understood it, and he suddenly realized it.

"Wow! No way, it's him. Why is he so unlucky!"

After all, the situations of these ten stores are very special and they are very famous in Buck City.

"You are stupid! He just agreed to sign a contract with the King for the Far North. Before he goes back, the King will definitely not let anything unexpected happen to him. If anything happens to him, even a fool would know it's related to us!"

…

the next day.

The alderman didn't know how to start.

Although he was a marquis, foreign marquises were not very useful in the capital. After all, there were many dukes here, not to mention marquises. The other party might respect Zhang Feng very much, but wanted to make them suffer? Impossible! The acquaintance Zhang Feng was talking about was the queen, but Zhang Feng didn't want to see the queen. He always felt that the woman had some bad intentions.

At least Zhang Feng had never seen such a large commercial district in any other city.

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

The other party went to look up the information happily.

…

Zhang Feng naturally didn't know that he had become famous again.

As the servants were busy, clean, tidy and empty shops appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes.

He stroked his chin and thought:

"What kind of business should we start? We must first start a business that doesn't exist in Buck City and build up the reputation of our shop..."
