Chapter 298 Seedlings
De'an's wharf has grown bigger than Huangjin Port near the capital.

The low tax rate, no local protection, and relatively convenient transportation made De'an Port rapidly expand.Merchants gathered in the port in a random way, without government certification, without random apportionment of taxes, without planning requirements, and everything was carried out in a way that was most profitable.

Although the shantytowns near the port were filthy, the roads on the outskirts of the port were soon overwhelmed by heavily loaded horse-drawn carriages, and the waters near the port were filled with ships and garbage.However, Cheng Jinzhou is now able to collect materials worth 350 million star yuan through a mere port, which is equivalent to 45 taels of silver, or more than 1300 million U.S. dollars. With the material richness of this world, even if it is placed in the capital, it is also It takes a lot of time, but in De'an, because Cheng Jinzhou encourages faster operation, the merchants have greatly improved the supply and replenishment speed of materials.

After paying a large amount of linen and cotton cloth to the Star Alliance, Cheng Jinzhou said with a smile on his lips: "I guess in the current summer, there must be many places that are growing linen and cotton."

"It is the duty of the Star Alliance to integrate the resources of various planets." Buddha waited there to receive the resources and said casually, and then said: "If the entire planet is planted with real rice, your benefits will be much greater. "

Of course Cheng Jinzhou knows that if real rice is planted on the entire planet, the income will be tens of thousands of times more, but how can he have such ability, he just smiled: "The price of fourth-grade real rice is also limited to be higher than that of linen, I think it is almost the same."

"That's right." A strange look flashed across Foye's face. During the conversation, he was constantly judging Cheng Jinzhou's value.

After closing the normal interface, Cheng Jinzhou paid 350 million star dollars to the "elder businessman", and then waited quietly, completely unaware of what kind of impact his words had on the current customer service Buddha.

At the same time, intensive production of the second issue of "Science" began.In the age of woodblock printing, it was difficult to complete a 200-page journal - there was no point in making movable type, which was shallow and blurry, like a tasteless pirated copy.Not to mention that astrologists and nobles looked down on movable type printing, even small businessmen with a little savings were unwilling to look at movable type.

The tendencies of the Astromancers can be seen from the typography.Even with the related technologies, astro-warlocks are usually not very active.For example, the biographer Plutarch commented on Archimedes: "The ambition is so high, the soul is so deep, and the scientific knowledge is so rich that although his invention makes people look at him as a god, he doesn't care about it." Write these things into books and pass them on to future generations, and regard all the machines and skills used for use and profit as contemptible things, and wholeheartedly pursue the wonderful knowledge that does not mix worldly needs."

The astrologers' pursuit of mathematics and their disdain for practice have reached a certain level, so in the final selection of the journal, Cheng Jinzhou had to emphasize mathematics and despise practice.

If Science is full of practical content, it will lose most of its readers, even those who are serious about practical matters.

Even though Warlock Cao Fengxing and Warlock Jin Heixing have already decided on their practical development, they are not proud of it, and they expect more recognition.

Of the 12 articles, Cheng Jinzhou simply omitted his own, and filled in 9 mathematical articles and 3 practical research articles.It can almost be predicted that the 5 articles selected by "Extensive Functions" according to the agreement will appear in the 9 mathematical articles.They may not have the shocking performances of the first issue, but due to the large number of applicants, the content is also above average.

Nobody expects Science to outperform all journals every issue.Maintaining a considerable standard is the best choice, especially for the astrologists in Dean, a journal platform that allows their articles to be distributed fairly is more important, and it is also the value of "Science".

Cheng Jinzhou stared at the journal sample before he went to visit his land in Shaonan, and left all the remaining work in the hands of Warlock Yan Yuxing.He is also a practical astral warlock. Compared with his colleagues, Yan Yu has to spend more time working to earn contribution points to maintain research.

Some people work hard, and some people live leisurely.

Taking advantage of the last busy time in the farmland, Cheng Jinzhou invited Liu Qingshuang to ride a tall and strong thoroughbred horse to inspect his new territory. In fact, he has no definite idea of ​​how much output and how big the 20 mu of land will be able to produce.

The weather in August was the hottest time, and the freshly baked jockey was bumping on Yueying, and his thighs were covered with sweat.His speed was fast and slow, and it was difficult to adapt to the ups and downs of the horse.Equestrianism is a skill that takes a lot of time to take the school exam. Even after polo training, Xiao Cheng can't compare with the nobles who practiced since childhood.

On the other hand, Liu Qingshuang, she easily followed Cheng Jinzhou, no matter whether his speed was fast or slow, she was always half a horse's head to the right, and just doing this was extremely difficult.

Not only is the speed well controlled, Liu Qingshuang's movements on the horse are even more graceful like a swan.She also undulates harmoniously when the Thoroughbred runs, changing with the arc of the horse whenever it turns and accelerates.

Cheng Jinzhou was quickly attracted to him. While imitating his movements, he said with a self-deprecating smile: "My equestrian coach is not good. If I learn from you, I can at least be twice as strong."

His equestrian coach is the best in the Cheng family, so what could be wrong.

"You are an astrologer, so you don't need to travel long distances on horseback." Liu Qingshuang knew in her heart that her little fiancé was flattering her.I don't know when, she began to be willing to stay with Cheng Jinzhou and listen to him speak a language different from ordinary people.Of course, this is also the habit of noble families, familiarity is one of the necessary procedures.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and shook his head and said: "It's a pity that we are still far away from Shaonan. Otherwise, we can hunt at Xiding Villa, and I should also be able to practice riding. I am not very good at bows and arrows, but I can use the star formation to hunt rabbits."

Liu Qingshuang tried her best to hold back her smile, and said, "You can't ride a horse while hunting in the forest."

"Oh, that's right." Cheng Jinzhou laughed awkwardly, and was at a loss for words.When he was in school, he was not very good at dealing with girls, and in Daxia, he would not be able to conjure up a flexible tongue.

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhou was not angry, Liu Qingshuang stuck out her tongue carefully.When she first met Cheng Jinzhou, she only regarded him as an ordinary local noble. Later, when she was betrothed by her father, she was filled with surprise and fear. When she finally heard that Cheng Jinzhou had become a star warlock, she was completely surprised. .

For a 15-year-old girl, no matter how much she thinks, it is actually superficial.

Arriving at a small hill, he heard the sound of horses snorting. Cheng Jinzhou looked at the location and asked strangely: "Isn't this our land?"

There are tenants for several miles nearby, but no one can afford to ride a horse.

A second-level star warlock swooped down, and Lu Xu landed leisurely and said, "It's someone I've seen before."

"who is it?"

While speaking, Cheng Jinzhou also rode up the hill, and what he saw was King Zhao Zuxiang, the former ruler of Nanling.

Now, what he was holding in his hand was an uprooted real rice seedling.
