Chapter 275 Female Level [-] Star Warlock
Hearing Cheng Jinzhou's words, Liu Qingshuang laughed out loud.The original look of worry was swept away.

The court officials were ashamed, annoyed, and helpless.

As expected of a high-ranking official, Li Shaolin has a thick skin and can still smile and say: "If you don't think about it again, if the princess marries, the dowry must be generous."

Even with the shamelessness of central government officials, there are no more than three gentlemen who can resist Li Shaolin.The few people standing behind him either turned their heads away, or simply showed anger on their faces—in fact, the officials are more or less virtuous, as if they are more or less corrupt, and more or less responsible inability.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed, stood up, patted Li Shaolin on the shoulder and said, "You're late."

Master Shang Shu didn't understand that it was almost August now, and the rice in the fields was being harvested, and Cheng Jinzhou would not care about the royal dowry when all the grain on the 15 mu of land was harvested.

The embarrassment of the officials didn't last long, Xu Guinian finally improved his intelligence, and first let Zhang Biaohu, who came to report the classic history, in so that no one would speak.

The latter said stupidly: "Master Cheng, the notices have been posted, and the merchants reacted strongly, praising him as Master Qingtian."

Dian Shi is the office director of the county.The former county magistrate of De'an County liked to use his own manpower, so he put Zhang Biaohu, who had a family background, in the position of Dian Shi. The main reason is that there are limited positions with official titles in the county. Stronger than no inflow.

When Cheng Jinzhou heard Zhang Biaohu's exaggeration, he laughed and said: "We deserve a compliment from them for accompanying us with 10 taels of silver. By the way, Mr. Li, shouldn't this money come from the imperial court?"

As he spoke, he turned to Li Shaolin. Lord Shangshu asked confusedly: "What money?"

"When the Northern Han army attacked, we had to give up all the supplies on the side of the river. Many merchants suffered heavy losses, so that they could not continue to make a living. The prosperity of De'an needs merchants. Naturally, it cannot be due to accidental factors such as war. It was a victorious war, but it affected the confidence of the merchants, so I decided that as long as the merchants can produce evidence to prove the amount of supplies in their warehouses, and have paid taxes to De'an County on time, the government will pay them money." Cheng Jinzhou Most of the so-called lost materials were actually sold to the Star Alliance by him, but the merchants didn't know it.The Northern Han army came and left in a hurry, like a puddle of urine with kidney deficiency, which could not even be washed away by a sanitary pellet, so it could not cause much damage.

However, because of the attack of the Northern Han army.The confidence of many commercial firms has indeed been hit, especially the status of the commodity distribution center that Cheng Jinzhou has always hoped for, because this war has been greatly affected. In order to restore the confidence of the commercial firms, he simply decided to let the government compensate them for their losses.

For the current Cheng Jinzhou, it is not too expensive to use half a month's income to qualify as a finalist for a commodity distribution center.Moreover, he added a tax clause, which not only reduces some compensation, but also increases the enthusiasm of businessmen to pay taxes.

Of course, it would be better if the losses could be passed on to the court.

Li Shaolin was dumbfounded when he heard that.He is not a fool, he is not willing to bear a debt of 10 taels of silver for no reason, he almost refused on the spot: "Master Cheng, there has always been a distinction between local taxation and central taxation..."

"Master Li's benevolence and righteousness, I will definitely let the merchants in De'an know." Cheng Jinzhou didn't listen to what Li Shaolin said, turned his head to Dian Shi and said: "Zhang Biaohu, go hang up another notice, and say that Mr. Li from the Ministry of Rites of the court , agreed to allocate us 10 taels of silver, and it will arrive within three days, and after three days, everyone can come to the county government to withdraw the money."

Even if he made it clear that he blackmailed Li Shaolin, the latter gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He said in a bachelor way, "I'm the Minister of Rites. I don't have financial power in my hands, so my words don't count."

"I'll add the words 'My Emperor Long'en' to you." Cheng Jinzhou glanced at him and said, "You're going to talk a little bit when you go back. Don't go too far with what is written in the memorial, and I will admit it."

Cheng Jinzhou is talking about very real issues.Li Shaolin came to De'an for a month, and if he didn't get any decent results in the end, he would go back to see Emperor Lizong, and at least he would be scolded bloody.But with his ability as a literati, as long as Cheng Jinzhou acquiesces, his memorial should be able to write colorful flowers.

10 taels of silver to buy a level.Li Shaolin pondered for a moment, looked at the small officials behind him, feeling a little depressed that his proposal was made in such a public.

However, the task of this trip has not been completed, and the board that hit the buttocks must be borne by everyone.So even the strong men who were filled with anger just now are silent at this time.

After waiting for them for 2 minutes, seeing that he didn't object, Cheng Jinzhou smiled and said: "Zhang Biaohu, I'll let Mr. Li draw up a notice later, I'll see you before posting."

Zhang Biaohu couldn't recognize what level of official Zhu Hongpao Yumang brought, so he just nodded.

"I'm going to write now." Li Shaolin didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that he would be in debt of another 10 taels of silver, so he quickly ran away.

The officials he led also dispersed, leaving only a few who thought they were proficient in polo, and wanted to stay to find some opportunities.

Cheng Jinzhou sat down again, stretched out his legs, and was massaged by two maids. He asked in a long voice: "Are you ready for the team to harvest grain in the capital?"

Shi Mo half-knelt down to wipe his riding boots, and said at the same time: "It's all ready, Tang Zheng leads the team to harvest, and Chen Jie leads people to transport, and we will definitely grab back every grain of the 15 mu of land."

"It's true that there is not one left." Cheng Jinzhou shook his fingers vigorously and said, "Take care of those tenants, the grain in the field, and the starving sparrows that need to be picked up clean. , just cut off one of his fingers, sticking a catty of grain, will kill him. In addition, the remaining 60% of the grain should be supplemented to the tenants, plus half of the amount, but if anyone dares to steal the rice I planted, Then there is nothing."

In front of his own people, he did not hide his respect for Zhenmi.But most others thought it was an expensive experiment.

According to the official price of the Star Alliance, the asking price of the fourth-grade real rice is 16 times that of the fourth-grade regular rice, and the price of the high-quality first-grade real rice after selection will be 8 times that of the fourth-grade real rice, which is equivalent to 128 It is twice as long as the fourth-grade regular rice, not to mention the actual value it possesses.If it is stolen by the tenants as ordinary food, or if it is filled by mice in various links, it will be a sad waste.

Thinking about the villagers he saw in Hongri Village and their theft methods, Cheng Jinzhou said uneasily: "Take Wu Zong and the others with you again and tell Chen Jie to feel free to use them and contact me at any time. I'm here Some of them are star warlock apprentices for him. If they don’t obey, I will change them to another group. If you dare to steal food, I will kill a group of them ruthlessly."

Since he returned to the Cheng family, the star warlocks worshiped by the Cheng family have undoubtedly switched sides.Even if Wu Zong, the leader, is still an apprentice of an astronomy practitioner, and his status is far lower than that of an apprentice with a teacher, let alone other apprentice astronomy practitioners, they are often just eating for a living, so they might as well follow Cheng Jinzhou.

Having said that, apprentices, whom ordinary astrologists look down upon, are quite influential and controlling among low-level officials and common people.Instead of letting Chen Jie take the unruly astromancer with him, it is better to send some astromancer apprentices to him.Still, Chen Jie needs some management skills to get the job done.

Shi Mo followed the order and left. Liu Qingshuang stepped forward to take the boots, wiped them gently with a brush, and asked at the same time: "Do the new boots still fit?"

"It fits well, and it's still soft." Cheng Jinzhou smelled the scent mixed with the fragrance, and sat very close to Liu Qingshuang.

Since the Northern Han army withdrew, the gap between the two seemed to disappear suddenly, and they gradually became closer.

Cheng Jinzhou began to face the problem of "I have a fiancée, even though I am only 14 years old", and Liu Qingshuang also began to face the problem of "Now Cheng Jinzhou is an excellent fiancé".

The servants pretend not to see and lower their heads to do things, or they pretend not to see and pretend to lower their heads to do things.

All the servants are trained, no one will do special things, no one will look up at the master, no matter what happens above.

The remaining people like Zhang Biaohu finally knew how to leave quietly, leaving Cheng Jinzhou and Liu Qingshuang to speak their own words.

……

After Star Warlock Jiang Huang got the two Cotton Fruits, he prepared to go to Xingzhou himself.

He did not deliberately conceal the news that he had obtained Mian Suguo.Since you want to use these two fruits, you must use the special star array of the Astromancer Association or the Holy Church. In this way, the cotton fruit fruit cannot be hidden.

His physical condition cannot pass through the ultra-long-distance star array, so he chose to use the airship.For him, although the effect of using cotton fruit for the second time will not be more prominent, it is possible to gain 50 to 100 years of life.What's even more tempting is that his intelligence returned to 50 years ago, which was his heyday - even counting Xingzhou, he should have his name among the smartest and most outstanding star warlocks of that era.

However, before leaving Daxia, Warlock Jiang Huangxing did not abandon his promise. He personally persuaded Warlock Liu Kuangxing and Warlock An Feng so that they would not trouble Cheng Jinzhou after he left.At the same time, he paid a lot of money to hire another fourth-level star warlock, Li Xianfeng.

What is different from the star warlocks Cheng Jinzhou has seen before is that Li Xianfeng is a female star warlock.A four-star star warlock, a standard association star warlock, was originally a high-level star warlock of the association, but after the war 50 years ago, he returned to his hometown and never appeared in public again.

Her appearance in De'an immediately became the most sensational news after the Northern Han invasion, and even aroused strong anxiety from the Northern Han side.
