"Zhang, Zhang Feng..."

Caroline seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng handed over his residence to Erica to train the slaves and is now on his way back to the castle.

"We are running low on food. If we don't limit the supply to the slaves, they may not last even a week."

Caroline knew that saying this might make Zhang Feng unhappy, but it was the fact and she had to say it.

After Zhang Feng announced that there would be unlimited food supply to these slaves, Caroline almost wanted to interrupt, but she held back. She could not affect the authority of the city lord. She could only complain to Zhang Feng when no one was around.

He could bring advanced training methods from another world for the knights to refer to, but the specific operations still had to be decided by the knights. After all, to become a qualified knight, one had to start training at the age of six. Zhang Feng didn't think that just a few days of theoretical knowledge could match other people's experience for most of their lives.

That's just regular coarse salt.

A pile of beautifully packaged things caught Caroline's eye.

Caroline was a little shy about Zhang Feng's actions, but she didn't refuse because she was more curious.

Caroline thought to herself, frowning.

Originally, Zhang Feng was not very concerned about the military strength, because he felt that Hongye City still looked very safe. However, after meeting Erica today and hearing about the existence of such a profession as horse thieves, he had a sense of crisis and felt that he should put recruiting soldiers on the agenda.

"Knight Marlowe."

If this kind of snow-white refined salt appeared on the market, Caroline was sure that there would be people willing to buy it even if it was ten or even a hundred times more expensive than coarse salt.

Zhang Feng seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around and shouted:

Zhang Feng looked at Ma Luo leaving and seemed thoughtful.

Although the common people are poor, the nobles are rich! Seeing Caroline frowning because of the salty taste, but unwilling to spit it out and swallowing the salt in one gulp, Zhang Feng felt that she was inexplicably cute.

Caroline picked up another package of transparent items. The crystals inside looked very white, like white sand. This bag was much smaller than the refined rice, only about the size of her two palms.

"Mmm~ So salty!"

Although she knew that Zhang Feng had refined rice, after all, Caroline had eaten the refined rice porridge made by Zhang Feng in the morning, but she was still a little surprised to see so much refined rice in front of her.

Caroline was somewhat excited and expectant, because the three bags of refined rice only took up a small part of the strange black bundle.

Caroline was a little confused. The salt she had seen was thumb-sized and slightly yellow crystal particles. How could it be so white and fine? Zhang Feng didn't waste any words and took it directly tore open a corner of the package.

He was holding a large black bag, his eyes showing some shock and disbelief.

"exist."

Although Zhang Feng had no intention of conquering the world and did not need a lot of soldiers, having them was one thing and whether to use them was another.

As for training in person? Zhang Feng had never considered it. After all, professional matters should be done by professionals.

Zhang Feng sat in the main seat and waved his hand.

Zhang Feng walked over.

In fact, Zhang Feng's order just now was so great that not only the slaves, but even the soldiers who were maintaining order on the side were envious. If it weren't for their high quality, they might have voluntarily become Zhang Feng's slaves. After all, they would be provided with food and drink and salary, and most importantly, there would be no danger to their lives, and they would not have to do heavy work. They only needed to learn aristocratic etiquette. This was simply the life most people dreamed of.

Marlowe, wearing shiny knight armor, didn't ask any questions and went back directly.

Caroline walked in curiously and observed.

It is a bit unreasonable to always ask a knight to run errands for you, mainly because there are too few knights in Hongye City.

There are only two knights left at the moment. Knight Marlowe usually stays with Caroline to protect her. Knight Baker is temporarily responsible for the security of Red Leaf City and patrols every day. Together with a dozen soldiers, these are the entire military force of Red Leaf City.

"Of course I know that you don't have to worry about the food problem. It will be solved soon - or it will be solved soon."

Marlowe, who was standing by, responded immediately.

After receiving Zhang Feng's order, Malo unzipped his pants with some awkward movements.

For a chef, the amount of salt to put in cooking is very important. It should be salty but not too bitter. Even the chef of the city lord's family cannot control the amount well, and Caroline often tastes bitter.

Polished rice is a food that many nobles pursue. Deliciousness is only one of the reasons. More importantly, it is rare. This is a capital that can be shown off in the aristocratic circle. The price of polished rice can be imagined, and it is naturally not cheap.

Due to climatic reasons, the production of refined rice here is very scarce. Even the nobles seldom buy rice. They usually take meat and bread as their staple food.

The big bag contained three bags of refined rice, each weighing 5 jin. As for the price, it was hard to estimate, because this kind of luxury item could be sold at different prices in the hands of different people.

"yes."

"This is?"

"Salt?"

Gently holding the tip of Caroline's palm, Zhang Feng poured some salt into her palm.

“That’s salt.”

Dip a little bit of it with your finger and put it in your mouth.

He opened another bag of the same white granular substance.

I'll go back and discuss with Marlowe to see what conditions can attract the knights. As long as there are enough knights, they can train soldiers.

But it certainly won’t be cheap.

"Is this also refined salt? But it feels a little coarser than refined salt..."

"What's this?"

"I left something at my house. Please go and get it for me. It's a bundle, about this big. You can see it when you go upstairs."

And the most important point is that salt is expensive! There is neither sea nor salt mine near Hongye City, and salt is a necessity that needs to be transported from far away, so the price of salt has always been high.

Zhang Feng stretched out his arms and gestured to measure the size with his hands.

"Open it."

“Rice!”

When Marlowe found the big bag, it was not zipped up. He saw with his own eyes what was inside the bag, which is why he was so shocked.

When Zhang Feng and Caroline leisurely returned to the castle hall, Knight Marlowe came back.

First, you see a translucent bag filled with white particles.

"Then try this."

"Try it and see how it differs from the salt you eat."

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"

Caroline opened her mouth subconsciously, and Zhang Feng took out a small spoon from somewhere, scooped a spoonful, and before Caroline could react, he put it directly into her mouth.

"Hmm~"

Caroline's eyes, which sparkled like a lake, suddenly widened.

So sweet!
