Chapter 275 Female Level 4 Star Warlock

Hearing Cheng Jinzhou's words, Liu Qingshuang burst into laughter. The original worry was gone.

The court officials were ashamed, annoyed, and helpless.

Li Shaolin was worthy of being a senior official, and he was also thick-skinned. He could still smile and said: "If you think about it again, if the princess gets married, the dowry will be generous."

Even with the shamelessness of central officials, there are no more than three gentlemen who can resist Li Shaolin. The few people standing behind him either turned their heads or simply looked angry - in fact, the officials were more or less decent, just like they were more or less corrupt and more or less servile. inability.

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

Lord Shangshu didn't understand that it was already almost August and the rice in the fields was being harvested. As long as all the grain in the 150,000 acres of land was harvested, Cheng Jinzhou would not care about the so-called dowry from the royal family.

The embarrassment of the officials did not last long. Xu Guinian finally improved his intelligence and let Zhang Biaohu, the classic historian who came to report, in first, so that no one would speak in the whole place.

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

Dianshi is the county office director. The previous magistrate of De'an County liked to use his own people, so he placed Zhang Biaohu, who had a family background, in the position of Dianshi. The main reason was that there were limited positions with official titles in the county. Dianshi was a ninth-grade position, so in general. Better than being unpopular.

When Cheng Jinzhou heard Zhang Biaohu's exaggeration, he laughed and said: "We deserve a compliment from them for accompanying us with 100,000 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 abandon all the supplies on the river bank. Many merchants suffered heavy losses and were unable to continue to make a living. The prosperity of De'an requires merchants, and naturally it cannot be due to accidental factors such as war, especially It was a victorious war, but it affected the confidence of the businessmen, so I decided that as long as the businessmen can provide evidence to prove the quantity of materials in their warehouses and have paid taxes to De'an County on time, then the official will pay them compensation." 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 by the Northern Han Army. The confidence of many commercial banks 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 banks, he simply decided to have the official compensation for their losses.

For Cheng Jinzhou now, using half a month's income to qualify for a commodity distribution center is not too expensive. Moreover, he added a tax clause, which can not only reduce some compensation, but also increase 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 this. He was not a victim. He was not willing to take on a debt of 100,000 taels for no reason. He almost refused on the spot and said: "Master Cheng, there has always been a distinction between local finance and taxation and central finance and taxation..."

"Master Li's benevolence and righteousness will definitely be known to the merchants in De'an." Cheng Jinzhou didn't listen to what Li Shaolin said at all. He turned to Dian Shi and said: "Zhang Biaohu, go hang up another notice and say that Mr. Li from the Imperial Court's Department of Etiquette , agreed to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to us, which will be received 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 was blackmailing Li Shaolin, the latter gritted his teeth and was helpless. He said in a bachelor's voice: "I am the Minister of Rites. I have no financial power in my hands, so my words don't count."

"I will add the words 'My Emperor's grace' to you." Cheng Jinzhou glanced at him and said: "You can go back and say something, what is written in the memorial, don't go too far, and I will accept it."

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

100,000 taels of silver buy a level. Li Shaolin pondered for a moment and looked at the officials behind him. He was a little depressed that his proposal was made in such a public place.

However, the mission of this trip has not been completed, and everyone must bear the slap on the butt. So even the strong-minded men who were filled with anger just now remained silent at this time.

After waiting for them for two minutes and seeing that they did not object, Cheng Jinzhou smiled and said: "Zhang Biaohu, I will let Mr. Li prepare a notice later. I will read it before you hang out."

Zhang Biaohu couldn't recognize what level of official the red-robed Yumang belt was, so he just nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to write now." Li Shaolin didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear of being saddled with another 100,000 taels of silver debt, so he quickly ran away.

The officials he led also dispersed in a hurry, leaving only a few who thought they were proficient at polo and wanted to stay and 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 knelt down to clean his riding boots, and said at the same time: "Everything is ready. Tang Zheng will lead the harvest, and Chen Jie will lead the transportation. We will definitely get back every grain of the 150,000 acres of land."

"There is really no grain left." Cheng Jinzhou shook his fingers vigorously and said: "Watch the tenants, pick up the grain in the fields so clean that the sparrows will starve to death. There are also people who handle it in various places. Who dares to stick a grain to it?" , cut off one of his fingers, stick a pound of grain on it, and kill him. In addition, the remaining 60% of the grain should be supplied to the tenants, plus half the amount, but if anyone dares to steal the rice I grow, 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.

If we follow the Star Alliance's official price, the asking price of fourth-grade real rice is 16 times that of fourth-grade regular rice. After selection, the price of high-quality first-grade real rice will be 8 times that of fourth-grade real rice, which is equivalent to 128 It is twice that of a fourth-level ordinary meter, not to mention its actual value. If it is stolen as ordinary food by the tenants, or if it is pocketed by rats in every link, it will be a really 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 the leader Wu Zongshang is a star warlock apprentice, and his status is far lower than that of apprentices with teachers, let alone other star warlock apprentices. They often just make a living, so they might as well follow Cheng Jinzhou.

Having said that, apprentices who are looked down upon by ordinary star warlocks are still very influential and controlling among low-level officials and common people. Rather than letting Chen Jie lead the unruly Star Warlock, it would be better to send him some Star Warlock apprentices. Despite this, Chen Jie still needs some management skills to ensure that the work is completed.

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 your feet and is very 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 have suddenly disappeared, 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 servants are trained, no one will do anything special, 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 talk about themselves.

…

After Warlock Jiang Huangxing got two cotton fruits, he prepared to go to Xingzhou in person.

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

His physical condition could not pass the ultra-long-distance star formation, so he chose to use an airship. For him, although the effect of using cotton fruit for the second time will not be more outstanding, it is possible to gain a life of 50 to 100 years. What is even more tempting is that his intelligence has returned to 50 years ago, which was his heyday - even including Xingzhou, his name should be among the smartest and most accomplished 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 Fengxing so that they would not cause trouble to Cheng Jinzhou after he left. At the same time, he spent 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. Level 4, three-star, standard Star Warlock of the Association. He 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 invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty, and even caused strong uneasiness in the Northern Han Dynasty.
