It's morning now, and there is still a long time before the dinner.

Since the lion orc problem has been temporarily solved, there is no need to leave. Zhang Feng is still very curious about this Moore City. Before he had time to take a good look, he just went to a ecstasy.

For breakfast, Zhang Feng originally wanted to invite Niujiao Niang and Lion Orc to join him, but they might be a little unhappy with Zhang Feng and did not agree, saying that they had something to eat.

Zhang Feng did not force it, as if he had saved himself a meal.

After dinner, Zhang Feng took Marlow and Abei out.

Without driving, I was ready to walk, and before the Lord of More City made his attitude, I would be a little bit low-key.

Although there are still snowflakes floating outside, there are still many pedestrians on the road. From this we can see that the prosperity of Moore City is still very high.

Zhang Feng wore two more clothes, and it was too cold outside.

Zhang Feng did his homework in advance where the places in More City are the most prosperous. In addition to the Ecstasy, there are Morgan Tavern and the slave market.

These three places are the most famous in More City.

There is a saying in More City: In More City, no place can be more prosperous than the Ecstasy, unless you are during the day.

From this we can see how terrifying the money-making ability of the Ecstasy Museum at night is, and Zhang Feng has already seen this.

If the Ecstasy is the king of Moor City at night, then the king of Moor City is the slave market.

The slave market is only open during the day. The door is opened when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, and the door is closed when the last ray of sunlight leaves. It is so punctual every day that no one comes to it.

Logically speaking, such things that don’t know how to adapt will definitely not be too good, and may even cause some trouble without realizing it.

But the slave market has been operating well for so many years.

In addition to the huge number of slaves itself, there is another most important reason, that is, the real master behind it is the lord of the city of Moore!

It is the only commercial place directly under the city lord in Moore City!

Why do I say it is directly affiliated? It is because in Moore City, some places do not belong to the city lord herself. She only collects taxes and does not participate in management.

Regarding this issue, I need to talk about cities in another world.

Although the lord of a city has absolute control over the city in name, the city is owned by itself.

But many times, you cannot be completely controlled. For example, if you are a viscount, but there is a shop in your city that is opened by an earl, then you must give it to the other party, and you have to turn a blind eye to some things.

This kind of thing is very common, and even these city lords are happy with it, because in addition to strengthening the ties between the two parties and cultivating a community of interests, there is another and the most important point.

That is, not all city lords will run their own cities, and they want those capable people to come to their own cities to do business!

It is not that simple to operate a city and your own territory. It is not a game and there is no chance to come again. If you accidentally lose the city, then congratulations, you will become a noble without territory, which is what people often call a down-and-out noble.

After becoming a down-and-out noble, it is basically impossible for someone to give you territory besides rewards. If you want to become the lord of the land again, you can only spend money to buy it.

But not to mention that buying a territory requires a huge amount of gold coins, it is a question whether you can buy it.

Of course, people will not sell good territory. If bad territory is more difficult to operate, it is likely to repeat the same mistakes. Wouldn't it be a waste of work?

Therefore, almost most city lords will not interfere too much in the affairs of the entire territory. This is both troublesome and not much benefit. They only focus on the general direction.

Especially in cities, the city is one of the two most important channels for the city lord to come from gold coins, and the other one is food.

As for those other places, just hand them over to others, and the city lord only needs to collect taxes.

Although Moore City is a bit special, its business model is similar to other cities. Many places in Moore City are sold to others, including merchants, nobles, and even their own subordinates.

The city lord doesn't care about how others are doing. As long as the other party does not violate the laws of Moore City, she only needs to collect taxes.

This is very convenient for the city lord and doesn't have to worry so much. Moreover, the other party will definitely be very attentive in its business. It is also very good for those who buy shops and territory. After all, do business, the bigger the plate, the better.

Moreover, due to some rules, although these people who buy industries in the city buy permanent property rights, this is limited to the situation recognized by the city lord.

In other words, if the city lord is replaced or the city lord is killed, the contract they signed with the former city lord will become a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, for their own interests, these people must support the rule of the city lord, which is a win-win situation between the city lord and the merchant.

Just like the nobles of the Buck Kingdom, they must support the rule of King Buck, otherwise if the king is killed, their aristocratic status will be gone.

Of course, there are exceptions in everything. For example, if you want to rebel and become a king by yourself, you will definitely not support it, or you will be lip service. This kind of thing has been seen a lot in the long river of history.

There are people who want to rebel within the country, and there are naturally people who want to replace them in the territory of the city lord and want to be the city lord.

Therefore, how to manage these people is also a compulsory course for a good city lord.

And these are exactly what most city lords are good at. After all, they have basically had several brothers and sisters in a noble family since childhood. They can stand out among them. Without some ability, they will not even have a scum left.

The above are just about business and military matters, the city lord basically won't let anyone interfere. After all, the armed forces are the real backing of a city, and they can only be at ease in their own hands.

Let’s talk about More City, the only industry that is currently open to the city lord is this slave market.

Therefore, the backend of the slave market is very strong, and the city lord can mobilize all her resources at any time, and even use force to support the slave market. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the slave market is the king of Moore City during the day.

Many people even think that if the slave market opens at night, the business may be better than the Viagra. After all, the richer the place, the more you are, you will not have to worry about the sales of slaves.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

As for another Morgan Tavern, it is a relatively balanced place, open 24 hours a day. It is not as good as the slave market during the day and the Ecstasy at night. But on the other hand, it is better than the Ecstasy during the day and the slave market at night.

Zhang Feng is naturally very interested in this Morgan tavern. He wants to see what the tavern here is different from the tavern in Red Leaf City, and whether there is any place for him to learn.

However, the tavern is open all day and can be visited at any time. Now Zhang Feng’s destination is the slave market.

If, in the City of More, the Slave Market, Psychedelic Hall and Morgan Tavern are the three most well-known places, then outside the City of More, others mentioned the first impression of the City of More - this is a slave city.

Although Abbe and Anne had never been to More City, they also knew that this was a city famous for selling slaves. This shows how powerful this slave market is.

But after walking for a while, Zhang Feng realized that this slave market was really far away.

The hotels and psychedelic halls where Zhang Feng are located are all in the east of the city, the tavern is in the middle, and the slave market is in the west of the city. More City is very big, so if you walk there, it will be a lot of time.

Zhang Feng did not find any transportation tools in the city, let alone horse-drawn carriages, not even a rickshaw.

On the street, Zhang Feng looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky and felt a little uncomfortable. Do you think he is going back to drive, or not?

Just drive, he has walked so far, wouldn’t it be a pity to go back again?

If you don’t drive, it’s still so far. When you walk over, it’s probably noon.

It’s not that Zhang Feng doesn’t have this little energy, he is just lazy.

"Hey, you said that at such a big city, why don't you even have a taxi cart? These people don't make money!"

Zhang Feng complained helplessly.

Marlow and Abe were also helpless.

It was Zhang Feng who didn’t take the bus himself, saying that he was walking more and exercised. As a result, he had just taken a few steps and didn’t want to leave anymore. It’s not a loss that he was a nobleman!

Even if you are as outstanding as Zhang Feng, you still have a common problem with aristocratic ones, that is, laziness.

When Ma Luo was about to open his mouth and allow Zhang Feng to go back and drive, an ordinary carriage passed by Zhang Feng and then stopped beside Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng looked up in confusion. The window of the carriage opened and a mature and charming female face was revealed. She looked in her thirties, but she didn't look old at all. Instead, she looked delicate like a little girl and had fair skin.

But the most attractive thing is her peach blossom eyes with slightly upturned eyes, which feels like a big sister next door.

"It's you?"

The voice is soft and pleasant.

When Zhang Feng heard the other party's words, he was a little confused.

"Hmm? Do we know each other?"

After searching in my mind for a long time, Zhang Feng had no memories of the other party. After all, as long as he saw this kind of appearance, he would not generally forget it.

Regarding Zhang Feng's doubts, the woman smiled and seemed to be careless and said, "Maybe she admitted her mistake." Then she spoke very well.

"I heard you just said the taxi car. Can you ask me what it means? Where is your car? Where are you going?"

"car?"

The other party asked several questions in a row. Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this woman must have seen herself and Steam Car when she entered the city yesterday, otherwise she would not have asked questions about the car.

Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, Zhang Feng had nothing to hide, he spoke helplessly:

"I was going to the slave market, but I didn't notice that More City is bigger than I thought, and it was a little far from the slave market. I didn't plan to drive before, but now I want to take the bus, but I found that there was no taxi carriage or even rickshaw on the road. For such a good business, the city lord of this Moore City didn't do it. This is..."

The woman who heard the word "taxi carriage" again was a little confused.

"Taxi carriage? Business?"

"Yes, you see so many people walking on the road. If there are carriages on the side of the road that can be rented, as long as the price is not very expensive, someone will definitely be willing to take it."

"The cost of a carriage is not low, and this business doesn't seem to be very cost-effective."

The woman shook her head. Naturally, there are carriages sold in Moore City, and in a special horse market, but the prices are not cheap. An ordinary carriage also costs fifteen gold coins.

If you are engaged in this kind of carriage business, it is better to buy one if you carry a carriage at a time, but if it is too cheap, you will have to pull a lot of people to make a profit. It takes too long, not cost-effective, not cost-effective!

Zhang Feng was a little surprised when he saw the woman shaking her head.

"Why is this not cost-effective? Based on fifteen gold coins in a carriage, that is, fifteen thousand copper coins, it is so far from the east to the west of the city, and the carriage is charged by the distance. Isn't it too much to ask for one hundred copper coins per person?"

"Not too much, but..."

The woman nodded. The price is indeed not expensive. It may be a bit distressing for people in other places to buy three large pieces of black bread with a hundred copper coins. But this is Moore City. People who can survive in Moore City have more or less saved, otherwise they would have been driven out of Moore City long ago.
