Chapter 150 Plunder (3)

Shen Cong waited outside the open-air warehouse, watching the mines disappearing from behind the low wall, feeling excited and envious.Excited because of the [-]% money he will get immediately, and envious because of the profoundness of astrology, which he will never be able to touch.

Perhaps in a few years, when he gets old and writes a will to prepare to leave the accumulated money to future generations, Cheng Jinzhou will become a third-level star warlock, and then have a longer life - 17-year-old Shen Cong, occasionally Get sentimental.

Gui Fang took off the shelf of the master book, and waited on the side with tea and water.Seeing the mountains of ore gradually disappearing, Shen Cong's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "When I went to the capital a few years ago, I mentioned the name of this star warlock, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. How is the energy.

Shen Cong put away his unrestrained fantasies, sneered and said, "What? You have the guts to start a game in the house and your own warehouse, and now you're scared?"

"Where is the fear." Gui Fang said with a sly smile: "I see how powerful this Master Astromancer is, so I am worried about waiting too long. Tell me, how many levels of Astromancer must be to be able to use this kind of heaven and earth shifting tricks?" ah?"

Like most low-level officials, no matter how shrewd and capable Gui Fang is, she still has limited access to information. As for the division of ranks among astrologists, their strength, etc., at most they have some outline impressions, and there is no way to know more Got it.

Relying that he is a child of Kyoto, Shen Cong smiled twice and said, "Don't care about the level, just wait carefully. The former Gao Muen star warlock was good at space astrology. It is said that he first stored the energy imprint, and then How to reorganize is very complicated. Throughout Daxia, since him, I have never heard of anyone who can copy this trick."

"Then Cheng Jinzhou Astromancer..."

"Don't ask about astrology! No matter how small astrology is, it's a secret." Shen Cong immediately interrupted Guifang. He didn't know, so how could he answer.

What's more, astrologers really don't like other people to know their star formation.The star array that everyone can stab is limited, if it is carefully studied, with the talent of the opponent - we must believe that every normal star magician is a strong intellectual, then everyone will inevitably have Omissions, the so-called dead ends and gates of life are bound to exist.

It's a matter of family and life, no matter how careful you are.

Guifang agreed with a smile, picked up the previous topic and said with a smile: "When I was serving the old masters and young masters, my hands were itchy and I opened a gambling game at home. At that time, I was ignorant and stupid. If it happened again, I would be a fool. I don't dare to do things in the house anymore."

"It's luck that you didn't get killed."

"The little one is lucky." Although the master secretary is small, he has stepped into the civil service system in a serious manner, but Gui Fang still uses the old name of Shen Cong's house in front of Shen Cong.

Shen Cong glanced at him and laughed, "You have been the master bookkeeper in Tong County for two years, how do you feel?"

"One year and eight months. You know the young ones, if you don't learn the good ones, you will understand the bad ones once you learn it. The county magistrate Xu of Tong County was born with Jinshi, so he looks down on us. From the official point of view of the entire Tong County, the young ones Just relying on being a servant of the Shen family, and being able to talk to the Dianshi county captain, he can live a decent life."

Shen Cong's son of an official, immediately recognized the smell, slapped him on the shoulder and smiled: "You are successful, isn't that the county magistrate?"

The county lieutenant is equivalent to China's senior political and legal officials plus the chief of the public security bureau. It is combined with the master book, and it is indeed possible to fight in separate courts against the county magistrate who is not strong.In fact, since county magistrates and magistrates are always airborne from the central government, and localities are always the domain of noble families, the struggle for power and profit is always inevitable.In traditional areas such as Shaonan, the central government has almost given up the power to select officials.Of course, Tong County is very close to the capital, and the central government officials are relatively strong. Guifang is backed by a big tree that does not help, and it is not easy to succeed.

"The little one is relying on the shadow of the master and the young master." Guifang grinned his walnut mouth and said, "Congratulations to the second young master, with this star warlock friend, you will definitely be able to enter the pavilion and enter the political affairs hall .”

"You don't need to think about entering the pavilion." Shen Cong thought about it and was a little proud.After this vote is done, at least three to fifty thousand taels of silver can be obtained. With such a large sum of money, it is not a problem to buy the title of Juren.None of the five concubine sons of the Shen family got a Jinshi so far, and they were able to stand upright at home if they were recruited.

What's more, Shen Cong is really optimistic about Cheng Jinzhou.Most of the nobles did not mean that they were unwilling to befriend star warlocks since they were young, but that they had no chance due to limited conditions.Ordinary star warlocks, reaching the second or second star, can take 30 years at the fastest, 60 years at the slowest, and there are countless people who finally get what they want at the age of 80.However, no matter how well an ordinary person takes care of his body, at the age of 60, it is almost time to take care of his life.

As for first-level star warlocks, although they are important to the nobles in the capital, they are not rare. It is even more unnecessary to start investing from the very beginning.If you don't invest in the Ten Thousand Years Star Warlock Apprentice, you can lose a family.

And when it comes to the status of third-level or three-star warlocks, it is even more difficult for ordinary nobles to climb up to. They have a life span of more than two hundred years, and they are registered in the Star Warlock Association. To a large extent, their life goals are no longer limited. In the political arenas of each country, the main reason why they still communicate with ordinary people is that astrologists also need various precious materials and people to support them.

Let alone Shen Cong, he had never heard of Cheng Jinzhou, a fast-leveling star warlock.Although many outsiders will say: Astromancer level up too fast is not the right way, not a good thing.But how can he believe that there are children who are Jinshi at the age of 13, so why can't someone become an astrologer at the age of 13.

To enter the pavilion, one needs to be a literati from a professional class with outstanding writing skills, but to enter the political affairs hall, it depends entirely on skill strength. Shen Cong feels that if Cheng Jinzhou can be promoted to a three-star warlock in his lifetime, he can earn the support of his family at least, and then he will work hard For a moment, the title of a level 6 civil servant must be impossible to escape.

Thinking of this, Shen Cong became more enthusiastic.He brought Cheng Jinzhou to Tong County with the intention of wooing Guifang. At this moment, while the latter was admiring the astrology, he dragged him and said, "You see a lot outside and do a lot. Do you have any idea to help?" I do something?"

"What does the second young master want to do?"

"You still pretend to be stupid." Shen Cong snorted, but did not overwhelm others, but pointed to the open-air warehouse where the tin mine was no longer visible, and explained seriously: "To be honest, my Cheng Brother, I’m short of money recently. Although I don’t know what he wants money for, but when a two-star warlock spends money desperately, it’s probably a good thing. The newly appointed head of the Cangbu is his father, and he is an astrologer himself, if something goes wrong, he will carry it in front, and the two of us just need to help."

Gui Fang laughed dryly, thinking that her master is really a young man, and he is very reckless in his words and actions.How could he, a master who was born as a servant of the Shen family, be able to handle such a big matter.

But looking at the open-air warehouse not far away, Guifang felt itchy again, and said with a little hesitation: "I'm afraid the small ones won't be able to help you much."

"You are already familiar with the counties around the capital, right? In the future, we won't come forward directly for such things." Shen Cong also played his little Jiujiu, two young people always have inconvenience in doing things, Especially in the officialdom where there are traps every step of the way, Guifang has been in Shen's residence since she was a child, and she is also psychologically close to him.

"Only choose local warehouses?" Gui Fang's words were implying something.

Daxia's warehouses are divided into three types.One is a warehouse established by the local government, which is used to store grain, cloth, and government money and other materials for the autumn harvest, such as the warehouse in Tong County; the other is a warehouse established by the army, mainly stored in In the prefectures and counties close to the border, the granaries near Hongri Village in Shaonan belonged to this case; the third is the national warehouses under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, which include both strategic materials and livelihood materials, such as the grain in the Changping warehouse. Iron ingots and copper ingots used to make utensils, gold, silver, and money representing government property, and even large-scale wood and utensils used for sacrifices and funerals, etc...

Among the three kinds of warehouses, the local warehouses have the largest number, the least management, and the lowest value.At first, he had the courage to make a few strokes, but as Shen Cong and others, it was nothing.For other warehouses, the danger would be much greater.

Shen Cong snorted, and said: "Don't worry about which warehouse it is, just bring your people and clean up all the tricks for me. I will give you a share of the money from myself, and count the warehouse every time. How about [-]% of the total price?"

Since ancient times, Qian has been heroic and courageous, and the money is the blood of prostitutes. Bearing Shen Cong's stern eyes, Gui Fang gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it."

After agreeing, he felt relaxed.The second young master of the Shen family came to find him. As long as he said these words, the outcome was already determined.Thinking of this, the muscles on his face twisted and he said: "Second Young Master, I have a group of people to support. I don't have to pay for it at all, but I don't need [-]% of the money. I only need half of it."

Shen Cong shook his hand and said, "One achievement is ten percent."

He really didn't pay attention to half the money.

But soon, he knew that he regretted it.

……

Cheng Jinzhou "wanders" in the ocean of tin mines.

The land of more than [-] mu is at least two or three kilometers long. Every few tens of meters, there is a low yellow ore mountain piled up, like a steamed bun with too much alkali flour, being slapped flat by someone.

The closer the ore is to the intersection, the fresher it will be, and the closer to the center, the more it will be exposed to wind and rain.Da Xia didn't use much tin, except for a small amount as utensils, there was no good market, and the imperial court did not allow local processing, so the tin mines in Tong County were still operating half-dead.

When it came time for the commercial firms to purchase aggressively, limited by land transportation, no matter how much the price was, at most two or three hundred ox carts would pull away two or three piles of ore every day. Instead, the officials in Tong County thought that all the hardships would be rewarding and kept pushing them away. I followed the peasants to dig mines, and as a result, although a lot of ore was sold, more was accumulated.

Cheng Jinzhou almost half-runs and half-walks around the ore pile, and customer service 010 is also floating above the ring, counting and reporting the number every time he reaches a place.

Usually the price of a small pile is around 2000 star yuan, and the price of a large pile can exceed 5000 star yuan.And even under the premise of rising prices, the price of a pile is less than 500 taels of silver.

Tin ore often contains sulfur, lead, brilliance, antimony, silver, boron, magnesium and other elements. In the era that Cheng Jinzhou was familiar with, people usually only extracted one or two of them, and the rest had to be discarded. Material discarded.

As for the Star Alliance, Cheng Jinzhou knew with his chin that they must be of great use.

Therefore, when customer service 010 asked for transportation and handling fees because the ore was a metal material, Cheng Jinzhou firmly objected.

As expected, Mr. Ke gave in "weakly" again.

The transaction proceeded smoothly.
