Chapter 334 The Big Wharf Running Smoothly
Cheng Wenzheng is still in good spirits, dressed in full armor, he looks like a man of about forty at first glance.

Standing in front of his cheap grandfather, Cheng Jinzhou was a little embarrassed.In terms of age, Cheng Wenzheng is indeed his grandfather, but in terms of blood relationship and intimacy, the two seem like strangers.

However, opposite to Cheng Yun'an, Cheng Wenzheng is a very rigid official.He first greeted Cheng Jinzhou in the name of Zhennan Governor's envoy, and then said in a more ordinary tone: "Jinzhou, I heard that you broke up the tens of thousands of Northern Han troops?"

The sudden courtesy caught Cheng Jinzhou off guard. For the sake of the dozen or so generals around him, he had to pinch his nose and say, "There are tens of thousands of people, probably thirty or forty thousand or fifty or sixty thousand."

"How much?" Cheng Wenzheng hated people without military qualities the most, his eyes widened, and he could no longer see the etiquette just now.

If it wasn't for the fact that Cheng Jinzhou was an astrologer, he might have slapped him. The difference between 3 and 6 is double, and the number of soldiers under his command can be almost the same.

Cheng Jinzhou continued to laugh awkwardly, and finally pulled out the man from the canvas bag, went to the quartermaster and asked, "How many thousands of people are there?"

"4 people." The quartermaster's face was like a panda swimming in muddy water, with sweat, snot and tears mixed together, along with dust and other stickies on the clothes, the degree of filth was astonishing.He breathed in the air greedily, and could no longer see the earl's arrogance and the quartermaster's high spirits.

Those few merchants were miserable, they all had at least one big firm under their name, but in front of the astromancer, no matter how expensive a life was, it could be replaced at any time.

However, no one cared about the fate of several merchants.Cheng Wenzheng looked at the quartermaster with great interest, and finally smiled and said, "The prisoner you captured? Is the officer not small?"

"It's their quartermaster. I heard he's an earl." Cheng Jinzhou seemed to be offering a treasure.His immaturity as an astrologer made him more attached to worldly power and fame.

Those who can achieve self-satisfaction in a very small scope and spiritual world are, after all, a minority.Normal people want to be recognized in the wider circle.

The quartermaster looked at Cheng Wenzheng eagerly, not daring to speak nonsense.The bumps on the road made him understand that his life was so fragile that if someone let go, he would lose it.Coupled with the fact that there is a fourth-level star warlock by his side, it is also difficult for him to judge who is the one who really has the final say.

The old man of the Cheng family slowly began to ponder.

He looked at the generals around him with some hesitation, and finally sighed: "The general will inevitably die in battle. No one can predict such a day. Come, help him to inform his family. I want double the ransom."

The quartermaster nodded excitedly, and then wept uncontrollably.The dealer used to be a well-known big family in the Northern Han Dynasty. In this turmoil, they didn't get much benefit from adhering to neutrality, but they didn't lose their family business either.In the case that many big families have been broken up, the ranking of the banker has risen again, and money is not a problem.

Just when the businessmen were about to beg for mercy, Cheng Jinzhou said in a low voice: "The quartermaster, didn't you say 20 times earlier? When will it become twice?"

"Twenty..." The quartermaster was sure that he had never said such a thing, but he quickly reacted and nodded repeatedly: "The small one means 20 times, the small one means 20 times."

Daxia's generals looked at the quartermaster with discriminatory eyes. To them, nobles should be the most reserved people. It was really shameful to cry for a small life.Some people even covered their faces and ran away because of this, which surprised Cheng Jinzhou for a while.

Kong Wei clutched his arm and went back to the carriage to rest, while Hui Minren lazily found the carriage and sat on it.Cheng Jinzhou reluctantly smiled at Cheng Wenzheng: "We are going back to Daxia, but the soldiers, I am afraid that we will have to garrison for a while."

Cheng Wenzheng's army has moved to an ideal position. Now it only needs to wait for Daxia's reinforcements to arrive before it can successfully attack Hanking.At this time, Cheng Jinzhou did not want to waste time and took the army home. He only promised to send some of the heavily damaged cavalry battalions to the second line after reinforcements were received.

The officers all agreed with his idea, so they simply found a place to set up camp.Unless Beihan can organize another high-injury force, it is impossible to break the deadlock with only two unfaithful fourth-level star warlocks.

Cheng Jinzhou notified Taiyu and asked him to replace the injured Kong Weixing Warlock.As long as there are two fourth-level star warlocks on the battlefield, the opponent's fourth-level star warlocks will basically not appear.

After finishing these, the gentlemen of Daxia began to live a life of grassland tourism.

It is impossible for the Northern Han Dynasty to send people to harass the team with high-level star warlocks, and Cheng Jinzhou does not plan to go to the front line now, and now it only depends on how many reinforcements the two sides can get.

After two days like this, Xiao Cheng re-entered the stage of learning, and Yisu's work changed from exercising, sleeping, and improving materials to exercising, teaching, and sleeping.There are not so many materials for him to use here.

On the fourth day, Taiyu Star Warlock finished his work and came to Tianshui Grassland.He also brought a lot of ointment and applied it to Kong Wei's injured area, and the infection was quickly resolved.

"Sorcerer Cao Fengxing helped me with it." Tai Yu didn't take the credit.

Kong Wei hadn’t been injured for some years, and he didn’t want to talk about his heroic process with Tai Yu. When the wound healed up, he was ready to go back. Hui Minren stayed, but judging by their appearance, they obviously didn’t want to be in Beihan or Daxia. I stayed too long.

Speaking of which, the three of them all wanted to gain something from the Cheng Jinzhou Holy Church practitioner, but after such a long time, it was hard for them to persevere with their patience.The research of mathematics and physics is a process of retreat if you do not advance. When you stop researching and do other things, other researchers will take a step ahead of you.Once something like this happens, the honor of priority research is likely to be continuously lost.For the same effort, No. 1 gets much more than No. 2.

Even if he is a trainee in the temple, the information he revealed still needs the assiduous study of the astrologists, not to mention that Cheng Jinzhou doesn't want to reveal a little bit now.

So except for Taiyu who got the benefits and kept silent, the other two became less interested.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't point out that if the resources given to the fourth-level star warlocks were regarded as salary, Li Xianfeng's requirement of eating enough was obviously a more suitable choice.Comparing the latter to the former is like comparing a sweatshop worker to a civil servant.

Cheng Wenzheng's elite troops roamed the grassland every day, driving those tribes to the south and north.

Northern Han's own food production was limited, and Hanjing's city defenses were also ordinary. It was really not easy to put up a defensive posture.

Daxia's second batch of reinforcements slowly crossed the Tianshui grassland and arrived at the camp.A total of 3 soldiers, plus nearly [-] heavy soldiers, represented that the supply line through the grassland was normal. This alone made Cheng Wenzheng very excited. For a hundred years, no army has established a front.

And positional warfare is what Daxia is good at.Compared with the first batch of elite cavalry, these ordinary soldiers may not be able to play a big role. At best, they can be used when attacking cities and defending villages.But because of this, Cheng Wenzheng felt relieved all of a sudden.

As a result, Cheng Jinzhou was also preparing for the return journey. He originally wanted to bring his grandfather back to Daxia, but the stubborn Master Zhennan Governor had no concept of the danger of the battlefield at all. .

On the 38th day after entering the grassland, Cheng Jinzhou rode Lu Xu and returned to Daxia by himself.

Kong Wei had already gone back to recover from his injuries, and Hui Minren was going to stay on Tianshui Grassland for a long time. Of the three people who came, he and Lu Xu were the only ones left, and they completed the set goal.

At this time, De'an had become a logistics port for the southwest front.

Not only did the war not scare away the merchants, but because of the element of war, more foreign merchants joined De'an's material circulation.Facts have proved that the war did promote consumption, and the purchase quantity of various materials, including the army, has increased significantly.

Those aristocratic families and the old local squires were actually affected by the war, and the preparation of war supplies became a hot spot in the supply and purchase of the entire Great Xia during this period.

Although there was no news of calling the noble cavalry battalion, the nobles of the right age spontaneously purchased armor, swords and horses-the equipment in the noble cavalry battalion was required to be purchased by themselves within the regulations. would be so good.Compared with ordinary cavalry armor, the equipment purchased by the nobles can withstand at least three more swords, and can withstand stray arrows 10 times without dying.

Hoarding of iron ingots, horses and other supplies was inevitable. The price of iron ingots, horses and other supplies far exceeded people's expectations, so much so that some people were willing to sell iron ore from Xiajing to nearby cities for smelting, and then send it to De'an for sale.

Since the Daxia government has no plans to directly intervene in the war, the various war supplies that should have been restricted in circulation are still in the sales stage.This kind of surprise made the merchants very excited. The private transactions in the past were carried out in the sun, and the speed of operation and profits have been greatly improved.

Naturally, some people suggested that Cheng Jinzhou restrict the flow of war materials, but he never made a clear stance.

According to his understanding of economic theory, in the war between a developed society and an underdeveloped society, it is actually beneficial to let go of the market.On the other hand, he is not prepared to rely on Daxia's current workshop-style industry to prepare materials for the whole army.

His plan is actually well designed, the only shortcoming is that the autonomous trading platform is still unavailable.

Yssu always advised him to wait, but did not explain more.

In order to maintain the superficial "peace", Cheng Jinzhou also waited patiently.

However, by the end of the second month, his patience was almost exhausted.

Opening the ring again and looking at the empty trading platform, Cheng Jinzhou finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Fo Ye, I want to exchange books."

Naturally, there was no reaction.

"I want to complain."

"I want to apply for permission."

After trying many sentences like this, Cheng Jinzhou gave up and closed the ring.

He grabbed Yisu's neck, shook it vigorously and asked, "I won't lose the ability to link with the Star Alliance, will I?"

I want a monthly pass, I want a monthly pass.
