Chapter 20 "On Agriculture"

Before the gate of the city was closed, Shi Yan returned to the other courtyard carrying food.

The members of Cheng Jiaqing's sub-branch all have duties, and they naturally live in the old house on weekdays. Except for the guests in the other courtyard, Cheng Jinzhou is the only one.

200 shi of grain sounds like a lot, but in fact it only costs five or six horse-drawn carriages. If you are not in a hurry, donkey-carts will save even more.

The heavy-duty wooden wheels made a tight sound of "bouncing" on the bluestone road, and opened along the back door. The servants along the way just took a look and then ran away. The second housekeeper had already ordered, and no one dared to care about it Nosy.

Cheng Jinzhou waited leisurely under the big banyan tree in the middle courtyard. The green space covering an area of ​​nearly acre was the site of a single tree. With the setting sun, he could not help but feel the shade under the tree.

Watching Zhuangzi's servants bring in the grain packed in hemp bags, Cheng Jinzhou asked Shi Yan, who had reported his meritorious service, "Did you see how they hid the grain?"

"Tibetan?"

"There is less food, and the family must be checked. Then how did they hide this small amount?" Cheng Jinzhou asked eagerly. This is an experience that can be learned.When I was reading online at home, I often saw various cases and methods of corruption, but I didn’t remember any of them.

When the book is in use, I hate it less, but it is a pity that the ring in my hand cannot read the book infinitely, and Cheng Jinzhou feels regretful again.

Shi Yan's passion was suppressed, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience: "They didn't let me in when they were transporting food. In the end, they just checked the quality because you said you don't need to care about whether it's good or bad..."

"It's okay, you did a good job." Cheng Jinzhou threw him a small silver ingot weighing two taels.

Shi Yan's face was full of smiles, and the previous apprehensions were all thrown away without a trace.

"From now on, I will buy grain from my own granary, in name, and say that I am doing experiments."

The corner of Shi Yan's mouth twitched for the experiment of 200 shi of grain, which really can only be regarded as a reason.

Hastily cleaned up the place, put the food in the warehouse, Shi Yan Shi Mo left quietly, Cheng Jinzhou touched the ring with great interest, and said: "Mr. Ke, the book has been changed."

"151 thousand words, are you sure?" The customer service 010 came out as fast as ever, and naturally said the book selected last time.

151 words, should be about 250 pages thick, Cheng Jinzhou licked his lips, not giving himself too much time to think, said: "Let's do it."

Think about Jin Yong Gulong who was at home and rented a bookstore for [-] cents a book, and the novels with millions of words were just the price of a bowl of rice. Such days seem to be gone forever.

"The Greek reading, "On Agriculture," requires a 50% surcharge for translation." Customer Service 010 didn't sound embarrassed at all.

"Translate it here." Hearing the name is good, Cheng Jinzhou's face remained normal. Exploitation is nothing after getting used to it.There was enough stock in the warehouse, and after going around like this, the small granary instantly became empty.

Cheng Jinzhou's mood is all on the reading interface on the ring. If you don't mind the incorporeality of the book in the void, it is almost the same as an ordinary book.

Judging from the cover of the book, there should be three volumes in the book. Cheng Jinzhou opened the book on the surface of the ring as if nothing had happened, and read it casually.

He was mentally prepared to face Zha Shu, even if he had to pay 300 stones of food for it.

After a short introduction and discussion about the scope of the purpose of agriculture, starting from Chapter 8, we talked about the pruning of grape branches, then the measurement of the land, the buildings on the farm, the equipment on the farm - the slaves... and then, Then it talks about olive trees and grains.

It can be seen that the author is very serious about writing a popular agricultural tutorial. Although some of the content is general and many of the contents are about the main cash crops in Greece, many of the contents are of reference value.

Cheng Jinzhou flipped faster and faster, his whole body became excited, and said with joy: "Mr. Ke, this is a book, do you know that it is a book that can be used? The pile of garbage you gave me before, they are only in the garbage. value of the heap."

Dr. Cheng Da has always been a utilitarian.

Customer service 010 rarely said nonsense: "That's good."

Cheng Jinzhou smiled like a rabbit that has lost its teeth, with his chin resting on his shoulder, muttering to himself, "This guy called MT Valo is not bad. Let me just say that those who can be the main tank in the guild have to work hard. Hardworking people."

God is sorry, although he was born 2000 years earlier than him, Lord Valo is still a very famous scholar, and he has never played World of Warcraft.

Cheng Jinzhou continued to work hard to turn over the book, not to mention the content of the book itself, which gave him a hope, or a goal and direction. Compared with "Elements of Geometry", "On Agriculture" is more practical, and it can be imagined , as long as the base invested in the ring is large enough, he still has a chance to get more.

Quickly flipping through it again, Cheng Jinzhou reluctantly repeated, "This is the book..."

Immediately, he couldn't forget to say: "In this way, I will have 11 Star Alliance points, right?"

"Yes."

"If it's a useless book in the future, I'll write one with fewer words." Cheng Jinzhou quickly found an excuse for his previous waste. He was still excited and said to Jiezi: "By the way, to reach Star Alliance level 3, you need to How many Covenant points are there?”

He still remembers that when he upgrades to Star Alliance level 3, there will be a so-called independent trading platform. Hearing the name, he feels a sense of expectation.

Customer service 010 answered Cheng Jinzhou's expectation with a smile: "100 points."

Cheng Jinzhou's mood suddenly became less exciting.

The accountants were soon called again to do the homework of copying books, and Cheng Jinzhou was running back and forth in each wing with tea.Like ancient China, the basic education in the Great Xia Dynasty was very solid. Even those who had only studied for a few years could use their pens like flying. Therefore, the speed of copying mainly depends on Cheng Jinzhou's walking speed.

Dr. Cheng Da likes to split short sentences. In order to make it easier for him to connect the content later, he also used a few sets of very simple passwords, such as using 3 sentences as intervals, reading in circles, or using 2 natural numbers As an interval, the 200-page content is very troublesome.

It was getting dark very quickly. As soon as the little handyman holding the lamp left, he heard the sound of the courtyard door being knocked, and at the same time the voice of the second housekeeper came: "Third brother, the young mistress asked me to inform you to go home on time for dinner in the evening."

Cheng Jinzhou said impatiently, "Got it."

The second housekeeper standing outside the small door probably knew his nature, so he added: "Young mistress told me to arrive before dinner. It's almost time to set off."

"What is so urgent?" Seeing that the copying could not continue, Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand helplessly, and watched as he packed up the copied things in each room.

"Young Mistress only said it's important..."

Cheng Jinzhou frowned and said, "Talk about something."

"Young one, I really don't know."

"You are the second housekeeper, if you don't know about this, can you take care of the other courtyard?" Cheng Jinzhou snorted, raised his head and said: "Just chat and talk casually."

The second steward glanced left and right, and took a few steps back from the man, before he said in a low voice: "The other courtyard did announce that it would vacate the house, but later the young lady said that the guest lives in the old house... "

Whether you live in the old house or another courtyard, the actual environment is almost the same, but there is a huge difference in the degree of intimacy. It only took Cheng Jinzhou a few days to understand these simple contents. He nodded and said: "Continue..."

"It's Liu Bin, the former envoy of Longdong, who served as the transshipment envoy of Hexi, with his family, passing by Shaonan." The voice of the second housekeeper became even lower.

Guard envoys are only established in a few large border states and counties, and they are a typical example of civil servants replacing military positions.However, although this position is of a high rank and is very authoritative in the local area, it can only be said to be dispensable to the nobles of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.The transshipment envoy is different. It is a purely civilian job, with both financial and taxation and transportation responsibilities. The corresponding level 6 civil servant seems to be downgraded, but it is actually a fat job. Hexi is adjacent to the capital, and its status is much more important.

"It's really interesting to pass by Shaonan when Tangtang's guardian envoy is transferred, leaving the airship alone." Cheng Jinzhou thought to himself, his thoughts were quite different from those when he first arrived in the aristocratic realm.
