Chapter 293
Cross-border transactions have always been fraught with obstacles, especially in feudal society.

Merchants, local governments, and the central government all want to get a share of the heavy profits of cross-border transactions. The longer any commodity is operated, the more people will participate in it, and the profits will be thinner until the market is saturated or changes again.

Iron ore has always been the trump card of the Northern Han Dynasty. Hearing that Cheng Jinzhou wanted it, Priest Zhuo Huan immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "Trade is friendly. Mr. Cheng likes trade, and we welcome it. For gold, it depends on the quantity and quality." price."

As the priest of the holy hall, Master Zhuo Huan is not like other warriors in the Northern Han Dynasty, who speaks and acts like a businessman in Xia Jing.

But he was too happy.Cheng Jinzhou said without a smile on his face: "10 kilograms of gilt gold, plus 5000 tons of iron ore, and a population of 5 households, we turned around and left. As for the price of iron ore transactions in the future, let the people below discuss it .”

He wants to grow pearl rice, so he wants to grab some ore for farming.As for the gilt, it is one of the materials used to make Yisu's body, and it is a kind of iron compound.Without an instrument, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't analyze its specific composition and what kind of metal it was compounded with.But since both the astrologists and Ysu are interested in it, it has value.

There are gilt samples in the Star Warlock Association, and the price per kilogram is at least [-] to [-] silver. If the transportation cost of iron ore is added, Cheng Jinzhou will have to exploit at least one million taels of silver from the Northern Han Dynasty, plus tens of thousands population.

The latter is obviously more valuable.

The smile on Zhuo Huan's face froze, and he said coldly: "Master Jinzhou, why should he be too mean, as neighbors, we will always meet each other in the future."

The system of the Holy Church is much more unified than that of the Astromancer Association, and the high-ranking Astromancers in it have a certain degree of mobility.For example, Zhuo Huan himself is not from the Northern Han Dynasty, so what he said was half a threat, not just casually.With his four-star level, it is also a headache to find someone to trouble the next day.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't care.His power is stronger in a year than in a year. With Lu Xu, he can't beat the fourth-level star warlock, and there is always a chance to run.Therefore, not afraid of Zhuo Huan's threat, he flew back to the airship, stood in front of the door, turned his back to Zhuo Huan and said decisively: "Ultimatum, after one hour, Luoshan Pass will be an example."

Tai Yu and others were on the airship, watching Cheng Jinzhou talk to the fourth-level star warlock on the other side, and heard the content clearly.Waiting for Cheng Jinzhou to board the ship, Taiyu clapped his hands and laughed: "You borrowed a group of us old men, and you made a lot of money just for 10 kilograms of gilt gold."

"You are all young, why, do you want me to share the spoils?" Cheng Jinzhou joked.

10 kilograms of gilt gold is a lot of money to him, but it is really nothing to a fourth-level star warlock with deep pockets.The monthly materials they receive from the Astrology Association alone are more than this.

Unexpectedly, Hui Minren said disapprovingly: "You are robbing openly, and you are borrowing our name."

Compared to Taiyu and Kong Wei, he has a tougher temper.Some people couldn't stand it and said: "The nobles of the aristocratic families are always getting worse year by year. Has Shengya also fallen? Those who practice gain profits through threats; they rely on plundering people to increase their income. Instead of seriously training their star power, what are they trying to do? The United Star Formation may be a new development of Sacred Cliff, but if you want to increase the power of Star Warlocks by lowering the threshold of Star Warlocks, then Holy Cliff is wrong. It is on the opposite path. Star Warlocks have always been scarce. Yes, a few, they win by improving their own strength, not by having more people. Think about the power of the fifth-level star warlocks, think about the legendary sixth-level star warlocks, no matter how much control they have over the star power, The fourth-level star warlock is just a pointless resistance..."

"That's a legend. There are no sixth-level star warlocks, and that's enough." Kong Wei interrupted Hui Minren. He couldn't stop fellow star warlocks from expressing their opinions, but he couldn't let him continue to play.

Cheng Jinzhou was a little confused, but also a little clear.He looked at Hui Minren, shrugged his shoulders at last, and said, "Whatever you want, I will do what I should do. In addition, I am not taking captive people, I am bringing the captive people home. Before coming, we I think it will be clear to you. And you also agree to come to Hanjing together."

"You get benefits from it, I didn't think of this." Hui Minren looked at Cheng Jinzhou coldly, and he didn't know where it touched his nerves.

"Anyone gets benefits, Minren." Tai Yu stopped him, not allowing him to continue talking.

Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand to Taiyu, and said equally righteously: "I am gaining benefits, which has nothing to do with the plundering of people. What I do is beneficial to these former Daxia residents. When they return to De'an, they will Becoming a tenant, although not a free citizen, can still lead the life of an ordinary person, unlike in the Northern Han Dynasty, when the weather was cold and lacked food and clothing, and he was a slave.”

Hui Minren couldn't continue arguing with him, so he turned his head and didn't speak.What he reported to Shengya was reverence and a perfect attitude, so he couldn't accept Cheng Jinzhou's approach at all.For a moment, apart from his disillusionment, he also had a trace of doubt.

Taiyu sighed, hugged Cheng Jinzhou and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Minren has such a temper. He pursues perfection in everything, but the result always makes everyone unhappy. Are we waiting for Beihan's reaction here?"

"Yes." Cheng Jinzhou answered lazily. In his heart, he regarded himself as the leader who liberated the serfs, but unexpectedly, he was regarded as a money-grubber, although he was indeed short of money.

"What do you want to do with gold, I remember I still have some saved." Taiyu turned the topic to the other side.

"It's still for experiments, about those machines that can operate automatically. 10 kilograms of gilt gold is enough." Cheng Jinzhou lay on the chair in a daze,

The airship fell into silence, and the Northern Han court below was also in dead silence.

Stone buildings are a characteristic of the Northern Han Dynasty, and their palaces were built with tons of stones. The good design ensures a certain amount of lighting, and the stones on the ground are polished to a bright luster.

In the past Northern Han Dynasty gatherings, gentlemen who advocated natural forms would turn the roof upside down, but today, all you can hear is the sound of heavy breathing.Like the gasp of a huge creature about to die.

There are two fourth-level star warlocks in Hanjing, one is Zhuo Huan priest, and the other is Mokan star warlock, both belong to the holy hall.In normal years, the deterrent power of the two of them is enough to offset the influence of Daxia's high-level star warlocks, but now, they will never fight.

The current patriarch of the An family, An Xiaofeng, clasped his hands together, pinched his fingers and said for a long time, "Zhuo Huanxing Warlock? Is there no chance of winning?"

Even though Zhuo Huan didn't like Cheng Jinzhou, he would not risk his life to fight with the star warlocks of the same level. He excused: "Cheng Jinzhou is the Priest of Chenguang. In the sequence of the temple, he is higher than me."

An Xiaofeng didn't care what the excuse was, sighed silently, and said decisively: "Send the Xia people south of the Han River, count the number, and send them over. Any noble who is willing to release a family of Xia slaves will be freed from 10 acres of land for three years." Taxes, or three years' poll tax exemption for each Shanu."

"Really?" The ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty were excited.They also have no solution, but they are unwilling to solve it like this.

Everyone hopes to get the best of both worlds, but most of the time, people end up seeing the lesser of both worlds.

An Xiaofeng looked at the 12-year-old emperor, bowed and said: "My emperor, when the country is in trouble, please grant your ministers full authority."

The child sitting on the dragon chair twisted his body, and said in a still immature voice: "Zuzao."

Immediately, a scholar drafted the imperial decree and submitted it to His Majesty the Emperor.

Someone suggested: "We can divide one Xianu household into two or three households..."

"Proposal to destroy the country!" Before he finished speaking, An Xiaofeng suddenly became furious, and said, "How long do you want Cheng Jinzhou to stay at the border? Five fourth-level star warlocks are on the list, and Luoshan Pass has been destroyed. After the inspection wasted time, do we have to wait for Daxia to send troops before we hand over the population to him?"

The Northern Han Dynasty has always been based on the will of the family, and a few nobles dare not speak up, and others do not speak up.

An Xiaofeng directed two people to come out, then he said with a flick of his sleeves: "My emperor, I will take my leave."

"Ai Qing, please." The little emperor still stood up and watched An Xiaofeng leave.

A low-level star warlock took off and headed for the Dawn-class airship.Surrendering without a fight and adding compensation is not a good job, so everyone naturally gave in.If it weren't for the need for star warlocks to fly, they might choose a seventh-rank officer to go up.

The low-level star warlock sent the 5-page document to the deck of the airship, and then stopped, allowing the first-level star warlock on board to take the document.

Cheng Jinzhou and others were naturally reading on the deck.

Just like An Xiaofeng's decision, there was no concealment or falsification in the documents of the Northern Han Dynasty - An Xiaofeng was a pure Northern Han, and he believed in the grassland law of pure wolves eating sheep.When he was a wolf, he did not hesitate to eat sheep, and when he was a sheep, he did not hesitate to give his son to the wolf to eat.

Now, Cheng Jinzhou, with five star warlocks and the Dawn-class airship, is the wolf.

Hui Minren looked at the smiling Cheng Jinzhou with dissatisfaction, and whispered to the others: "I don't believe that he is the star warlock of Shengya, and he has not publicly promised."

Taiyu didn't want Cheng Jinzhou to hear anything, so while he was on the deck, he whispered: "Miansuguo, who has Miansuguo except Shengya?"

"The cardinal of the church gave the committee the power to use the stored cotton fruit."

"There are only a few of them." Tai Yu said, his tone was not so firm.

Kong Wei also seemed to be influenced by Hui Minren, and couldn't help but say: "He has indeed never admitted his identity as a Holy Cliff practitioner..."

Taiyu laughed and said: "No experienced person would admit it."

"We can test him, we have helped him a lot, we have the qualifications." Kong Wei said seriously.

At this moment, Cheng Jinzhou turned around, and Tai Yu patted the shoulders of the two of them and said: "Let's find a chance to try, not now."
