After his morning exercises, Liu Feng had breakfast and went to his study to read. These days, he was either busy with government affairs or learning new things.
To build West Sun City into his ideal form, knowledge was indispensable. After all, it was up to him to create all the plans.
Liu Feng was now reading a physics book. But rather than learning new things, it was more like revisiting stuff that he had learned before. After all, he had already returned much of his knowledge to his teachers.
As Liu Feng read, he took notes. The book he was reading now was the physics textbook he had used in middle school. As he read, he noted the knowledge that would be suitable for teaching in the next five or six years of this world, and if he found it useful, he would record it. Later, he would have others slowly organize it.
This was very taxing on Liu Feng’s brainpower. Copying was not difficult, but presenting it in a different form was challenging.
“Flames burn air, producing many gases, such as carbon dioxide and helium, thus reducing the density compared to ordinary air…”
Liu Feng muttered as he wrote, and when he finished writing this sentence, he closed his notebook.
Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Half of the other world version university lessons were done. Yes, the knowledge he had learned in middle school on Earth had been turned into knowledge that could only be learned at a university in another world.
“Oh, right, can the principle of air expanding when heated and contracting when cooled be used to create hot air balloons?” Liu Feng had a sudden inspiration, but he quickly suppressed this thought. Now was not the time for that.
“Young Master, take a rest.”
Mina’s soft voice came from the side. She handed a pack of fried fish to Liu Feng.
“Okay!” Liu Feng was slightly stunned, then smiled lightly, took fried fish, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly. It was very crispy and became more fragrant the more he chewed.
He turned to look at Mina, who sat on the edge of the desk, with half of her ass on it, and her slender legs swinging from time to time. Things were back to normal, and it was as if the catgirl had never left.
“Did Anri and Tess go to the pizza store again?” Liu Feng grabbed another piece of fried fish.
“Yes, they went out after breakfast, and Anri even took the government affairs to the pizza store to handle.” Mina laughed lightly.
“Seriously? Well, it’s just the honeymoon phase of something new.” Liu Feng smiled wryly. It had been three days since the pizza store opened. The pizza store was doing well, and aside from Elisa, Nicole had also transferred two maids from the castle to the store.
Newly opened shops generally had good business, and three people weren’t enough to handle it. However, there was no need to hire more people, so Nicole went to help for the time being. Tess and Anri were just there for show, and the biggest help they could provide was not to cause trouble.
“Young Master, this is the document Anri asked me to give you this morning.” Mina pulled out a document from under her ass and handed it to Liu Feng with a slightly red face. She had just remembered it.
“Oh?” Liu Feng took it and flipped through it. “Tariffs? They seem to be going well. Sure enough, merchants are the biggest taxpayers. Just the taxes paid by these merchants are several times more than the taxes collected from the residents in West Sun City.”
As for those who refused to pay the tariffs? Well, after seeing other people’s fleets being able to leave the port while they were detained with their goods, they all obediently went to pay the tariffs.
Liu Feng continued reading and also saw the news of his own fleet’s departure, heading for North Wind City. It was time for them to try to sell some of their goods, such as linen and salt. They also brought along the goods that North Wind City’s City Lord had ordered.
Moreover, and most importantly, some of the original residents from North Wind City also wrote letters back, calling on their friends to come to West Sun City to work…
When it came to government affairs, Mina just listened quietly. She didn’t understand a lot, so she didn’t interrupt, but just chewed the fried fish quietly.
“Mina, I usually won’t have any problems in the castle, you can also go out and hang out with Anri and the others.” Liu Feng suddenly said. He didn’t want to keep Mina bored in the study all day because of him. It was very uncomfortable to sit alone and do nothing.
“Ah?” Mina was stunned, her blue eyes flickered, and then she smiled sweetly, “Okay.”
Liu Feng knew it was pointless. Whenever Mina didn’t mean what she said, she couldn’t meet anyone’s eyes, and her cat ears would always droop.
“I can’t do anything about you.” Liu Feng didn’t try to persuade her anymore. Whenever Mina insisted on something, she wouldn’t change her mind. For example, staying by his side.
“Young Master, my life is very good now, and I won’t feel bored,” Mina said softly, her blue eyes filled with peace. She was very satisfied with her current life. Her mind had washed away its restlessness, and she was enamored with this peaceful, ordinary life with its tiny surprises.
Liu Feng shrugged. Maybe so. If he had to sit still all day, he would probably go crazy. He was wondering if he should get more novels.
Eh? Liu Feng suddenly thought of an idea, before he could say it, someone knocked on the door.
“Master, the four members of the War Wolf Squad are back.” Niu Ben’s voice sounded.
“Oh?” Liu Feng’s eyes lit up. After eight days, they were finally back?
The door was pushed open, Niu Ben was holding a box, and behind him was Sinke, who was still holding a constantly wriggling burlap bag in his arms.
“You’ve worked hard!’ Liu Feng looked at Sinke’s slightly thinner cheeks, and he looked very tired.
“Not at all, this is my mission.” Sinke raised his head and chest slightly with excitement, feeling that all the hard work of eight days was worth it with Liu Feng’s words.
“Did you find it?” Liu Feng asked.
“I don’t know if this is it or not, but I saw it was similar to the drawing, so I brought it back.” Sinke grinned.
Niu Ben opened the box first, then placed the box in front of Liu Feng’s desk. This was in case there was poisonous gas or something, and this showed that Niu Ben was a very careful person.
“So big!” Liu Feng looked at the thing in the box that looked like a tree root, carefully took a small piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then his eyes lit up.
“Yes, it’s this taste, this is ginseng.” Liu Feng nodded affirmatively.
Yes, after the four members of the War Wolf Squad escorted Mina and Weya to the Forbidden Mountains, the secret mission they went to complete was to find ginseng. Originally, Liu Feng thought about sending someone there next spring, but since Weya happened to be returning to her tribe, he simply took the opportunity to do both things together.
Unexpectedly, there really was ginseng. Liu Feng just needed to take it back to Earth for identification. If this was real, this box of wild ginseng could probably be sold at a super high price.
