future library.

Chapter 131
The pages of the book in the void were slightly distorted, but soon became smooth again.

Cheng Jinzhou stared at the index catalog like Cihai. If he wanted to say how he feels now, his first reaction would be too much.

6000 thousand words is 600 million words.If it is changed to a novel, the number of 30 books may only make people admire twice, but if it is changed to the name of the item, it is really scary.The indexing of this book alone would make any cataloger cry.

In fact, what Cheng Jinzhou wants to buy the most is the "Star Alliance Library Book List", but that thing has 8500 million words, which is 1.7 million star dollars, and maybe even Daxia can't afford it after selling it. Correspondingly, he can get it now The "Star Alliance Library Exchange Form" is much more amiable, 1.2 star dollars, which is still within the acceptable range.

Moreover, before knowing what the Star Alliance is, it is easy for him to conduct targeted transactions, so as not to encounter valuable items without knowing it, but instead produce some worthless things.

In Cheng Jinzhou's view, the content of tens of thousands of pages is almost like a new encyclopedia.For most of the items, it not only provides the name, attribute and identification method of the item, but also provides the origin, search method, and even the primary processing method.

For example, in the item of coal, the introduction provided is: ancient plants were buried underground, and after a long period of changes, they gradually formed solid combustible minerals.The environmental conditions are weak, the output is large, and the production time is long...

At the end is the purchase price, 0.25 tons per ton, and a long list of transportation costs.

Starting from the front of the exchange table, they are sorted in an orderly manner.

There are four categories: plants, animals, minerals, and rare resources.Most of them are written in Chinese, and a few are written in languages ​​that are not even foreign languages.

Cheng Jinzhou inevitably asked: "There are materials that are not in Chinese, are there any duplicates? Are there duplicates with things I can understand?"

"It's all difficult to describe in Chinese, that is, it doesn't belong to the category of materials you understand, so don't worry about it." Customer service 010 quickly replied.

"Does real rice count?" Cheng Jinzhou asked immediately.

Customer service 010 was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Real rice is a kind of food that is higher than ordinary rice. It doesn't exist on the earth, so you don't know about it."

"In other words, it's gone inside?"

"There will be a price for real rice, but the type and description of real rice will naturally use different languages ​​depending on its origin." Customer service 010 rarely explained: "Before you encounter it, the description is difficult to be accurate. .”

Cheng Jinzhou snorted, and looked down the column of food, and found that under a string of Chinese labels, instructions in an unknown language were transferred.

However, just the label can also let Cheng Jinzhou know the price difference of different grades of grain.

The price of fourth-grade real rice is 16 times that of fourth-grade regular rice, and the price of fourth-grade pearl rice is 16 times that of fourth-grade real rice. There are also long rice and core rice. According to the same ratio, this is obviously quite amazing. number.

Cheng Jinzhou immediately asked, "Where can I find Xinmi?"

"At present, there are only a few places where it is produced, and the environment here does not seem to be suitable for planting..."

Cheng Jinzhou pouted, flipped down the pages of plants, and soon found the fiber item, and then found the subdivided linen item, and then read one by one.

Kenaf is the most expensive hemp fiber, but it is also the most expensive in Xiajing.Cheng Jinzhou had stayed in many shops that day, and when he thought about it now, he could remember the prices of many items.

Even if the price of materials fluctuates violently, it must be within a certain range. If he can find something with a higher price comparison, his current trading bottleneck will be broken.

After all, the transaction scale of tens of thousands of pieces of cloth and tens of thousands of tons of grain is already very eye-catching.

If it is increased, there will even be a situation where money cannot be purchased.

Checking each item is very time-consuming, but Cheng Jinzhou enjoys it endlessly.

He looked in front of him all the way back, making Shi Yan and others bewildered, wondering why he was in a daze.

It wasn't until he was about to enter the room that Cheng Jinzhou slapped himself on the head and said, "Shi Yan, copy the price list you gave me earlier."

"Yes." Shi Yan didn't understand what was going on, but still respectfully agreed, then turned around to get the things.He shuttles between major shops every day, copying different price lists every few days.

Ma Ling watched Cheng Jinzhou enter the room, and hurried over, met Shi Yan and asked in a low voice, "How is Mr. Cheng?"

Shi Yan glanced at him, seeing that the other party was an apprentice astrologist, he said in a low voice: "It's okay, but third brother is busy, if you don't have anything important, don't bother."

"Who dares to disturb the star warlock." Ma Ling's eyes are usually high above his head, and he smiled at Shi Yan, cupped his hands and said: "By the way, congratulations to you, I heard that Mr. Cheng's star formation piercing went well, and you guys will follow in the future." Tight, the future is boundless.”

A smile appeared on Shi Yan's face, and he cupped his hands and walked away.

Only then did Ma Ling tidy up his clothes, took out the letter from his pocket, and knocked on the door lightly.

After a long time, Cheng Jinzhou said slowly, "Come in."

He naturally put the ring away in his hand.

Ma Ling stood humbly by the door, not intending to come in at all. He raised the letter above his head and said, "Mr. Cheng, the news from Shaonan indicates that it will be handed over to you."

In the past, when facing Mr. Two-Star Warlock, he was polite and considerate, but he would not show any awe.But now that Cheng Jinzhou has the Star Formation, his attitude immediately changes.

Low-level star warlock apprentices rely on observation and hard work.

Cheng Jinzhou came to the capital, but he had never received any news from the Astromancer's communication system. His face was slightly nervous, and he quickly tore the letter away after only one glance, and his brows were tightly frowned. I said silently in my stomach: don't be bad news, don't be bad news.

He just owned the Star Array, and he was preparing to make great strides and really gain a foothold. At this time, the demand for the family can be said to be increasing, and what he fears the most is that something will happen to Shaonan.

Cheng Jinzhou frowned tightly and read each word.By the time I saw half of it, a smile was already on my face.

"Thank you very much." Xiao Cheng said to Ma Ling with a smile in a good mood.

"It's good news. Is there anything you want me to do?" Ma Ling smiled immediately. Sending good news when others are happy is always more welcome than sending bad news.

Cheng Jinzhou said "no" twice, and then read the letter again.

Ma Ling backed out of the room knowingly.

……

Cheng Mansion in Shaonan City.

The Bajiao Pavilion is the place with the best scenery in the old houses of the city government. Because it is located in the front house, it has always been a place for small-scale banquets for distinguished guests.

Cheng Yun'an used it today to hold exchanges with several adults from the capital.

As an unqualified official, Cheng Yun'an reserved all his talents for poetry, and such occasions are often when he shines the most.

Civil servants who did not pass the imperial examination had difficulty in officialdom. In many cases, it was probably related to their poetic talent.His colleagues prefer people who can compete with them in poetry. As for the so-called management and problem-solving abilities, they are often not what they care about most.

After drinking for three times and singing poems twice, Wu Guo from Dali Temple laughed and said: "I received some good news today and I want to tell Brother Cheng."

"Oh?" Cheng Yun'an drank the wine in the glass in good spirits and said, "It's already the best news that a few of you can reinstate a certain official Cheng."

"You're welcome, brother." Wu Guo, who was a little older than Cheng Yun'an, stroked his sparse beard and said, "The message from the capital was specially requested by the Ministry of Officials, asking you to return to Beijing with me to report on your duties."

"Debrief?" Cheng Yun'an repeated unconsciously.Everyone in the officialdom is very sensitive to the word "debriefing". Under normal circumstances, official debriefings only have good things and no bad things.

"Congratulations." Several other people clasped their fists with smiles. They were all civil servants in most of the capital, so it was considered good to have a smile on their faces on weekdays.Today I was laughing very hard.

"Thank you very much." Cheng Yun'an took advantage of the strength of the wine and asked with a smile: "Cheng originally thought it would be difficult to escape, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to go to Beijing to report on his work."

Wu Guo turned his face away, toasted him, and whispered in his ear: "Speaking of this matter, we have also been honored by you this time."

"Mine?" Cheng Yun'an was startled.

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Wu Guo picked up the jug and poured wine for the two of them, and said in a low voice: "I heard that when we go back, the Astromancer Association can help us to make room for us to take the airship. Go directly to Beijing."

Airships, no matter what time they are, are rare in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the supply is in short supply. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are many people who have never done it in their entire lives. ..."

"It seems that Brother Cheng really doesn't know that you have a good son. I am so envious that I can't envy him. I will ask you to take care of him more in the future." Wu Guo said, toasting with everyone.

Cheng Yun'an drank the wine in the glass in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "How is Jinzhou?"

Wu Guo said in a mysterious and low voice: "A few days ago, I heard that the star formation was stabbed. It seems that the Cheng family will have a first-level star warlock and a second-level star warlock in a short time. And..."

Cheng Yun'an was stunned for a moment, his source of news was not comparable to these civil servants from the capital.

Wu Guo wanted to win over him, and continued pouring wine, saying, "I have received some rumors that there is a vacant position in the household department, my brother has a great chance."

"how is this possible."

"Why not?"

"Central positions are rarely given to local aristocratic families."

Wu Guo shook his head and laughed, raised his glass and said, "In short, we will help each other in the future."

A group of people toasted and drank, and they saved the most for such cost-free toasts.
