Chapter 305 Detectors

In human society, people are the most valuable and least valuable commodities.

Compared with the star warlock, the country's sharp weapon, ordinary fighters are the cheapest. Any noble, any official, and any government can waste the lives of fighters to their heart's content-leaving aside the needs of society and patriotism, renting their lives To the government is the most unreliable thing.

Cheng Jinzhou has no soldiers, and he has no interest in controlling the army.Hearing Yisu say that he needed to hire people, his mind came alive.

The courtyard of "Dacheng Commercial Firm" soon became the busiest place in De'an.Nearly a hundred persons in charge of the firm came one after another, most of them were shopkeepers, and another seven or eight were bosses.Just like the businessmen in many places in the Xia Dynasty, most of the businesses where the owner is here are small dynamic businesses that rely on personal struggles, while those businesses that are vassals of aristocratic families are huge, but their institutions are much more rigid.

Cheng Jinzhou also knew the rules, and when it was almost time for people to come, he came out and asked, "Who are the owners of the firm?"

Several hosts immediately stood up and knelt down to salute.They don't have fame and fame, and bowing is not acceptable.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded to the steward and returned to the inner courtyard. The steward raised his voice and shouted eight times: "Please let the bosses speak at home."

After speaking, he rejoiced in his heart, thanks to the hard work he had learned in the house, otherwise it would be ugly if he couldn't sing a tune.

The owners of the seven trading houses, all dressed in long robes and coats, followed Cheng Jinzhou swaying.The other shopkeepers complained and said, "If we don't need to talk, what's the point of coming?"

"Yeah, such a busy time." Whether busy or not, every gentleman will dress himself up as a businessman who can earn thousands of taels of silver every minute.

It was hard for the manager to say anything, so he tried to persuade him in a low voice, and then he saw Lu Lushan coming out of the back room.

The three-star badge flashed so dazzlingly that the whining gentlemen kept silent, fearing that they would be offended by their words and lose their lives—according to the character of the astro-warlock, similar things happened quite a lot.

Lu Lushan looked young, but his eyes were very sharp, and the murderous aura he cultivated on the battlefield made people tremble even more.

The small courtyard suddenly became quiet.

In the kiosk in the backyard, Cheng Jinzhou's expression was equally serious. He looked at the seven stewards and said without the slightest hesitation: "Everyone, everyone's time is very tight, so I asked directly, where is there a business that buys cotton and linen?" , wood, bamboo, medicinal materials, ores, food for sale, etc.?"

He has studied in Daxia for a long time, and there are only so many goods that can be bought and sold in bulk.Although there are many luxury goods that can make a lot of money, they are not conducive to fast in and fast out, or the trading volume is too small, so they are not suitable for trading on the platform.Such is the case with high-priced gemstones and diamonds. Compared with tens of thousands of tons of goods, the profits they can exchange are extremely limited.

In fact, even in the 21st century, the annual consumption of luxury goods in many European countries is only on the scale of billions of dollars. In a small big summer, except for the nobles whose population accounts for less than 1%, how can there be any business.

If a border crosser appears, the goods he can buy and sell are extremely limited. There are only hundreds or thousands of types of goods that can be traded in society, leaving little room for choice.

The seven masters present all looked at the white-haired old man in the middle.

The old man couldn't help but smiled wryly, cupped his hands and said, "Master Cheng, it's not that we don't want to say it, it's really hard to tell."

In this era, there are no business secrets.The United States and Europe are both worlds dominated by capitalists, so they can naturally formulate laws that suit their interests. Daxia is a Chinese-style society, and everything must be in line with the interests of the government in power and the star warlocks. Cheng Jinzhou has both, and speaks without nonsense. : "Let me tell you what you know first."

"My lord..." Several businessmen were anxious.

Cheng Jinzhou's tone eased slightly, and he said kindly: "I don't care about your business matters. Buying low and selling high is what you should do. But I called you today, of course not because of business matters, so, also Don't talk to me about business rules."

His words became more and more severe, and several businessmen broke out in cold sweat.Ordinary people would be nervous for a long time if they were caught by the police, let alone when their lives were at stake when they were caught by gangsters.

The white-haired old man was helpless, and whispered: "Master Cheng, it's not that we don't want to sell to De'an, it's because the price from the north is really high, which is a full [-]% higher."

He held up three fingers.

"Which firm."

"Several trading firms, Puda Bank, Tongshang..." The old man named a dozen trading firms in succession. It turned out that there was too much information and it was meaningless.

Yisu jumped out and said: "Ask where their goods are traded."

Cheng Jinzhou immediately repeated it.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm at Chijiangkou."

He said and looked at other businessmen, it seemed that everyone traded in different places.

The remaining six owners have different expressions, but their answers are surprisingly the same: "Chijiangkou."

"Which map are you going to?" Cheng Jinzhou yelled at the servants outside the kiosk.

"Chijiangkou is between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Xia." Yisu's voice became low.

"Is there really someone who crossed the border?" Now it was Cheng Jinzhou's turn to become suspicious.He didn't want to believe it.

Although Yisu underplayed his assumptions, he knew in his heart that the other party was from the Star Alliance, and he didn't even know which planet he was from.He is a little doctor who has never even been to the Maldives, how can he defeat the opponent.

Yisu said "hmm" and said, "If you want to be sure, you know how to do it."

Cheng Jinzhou nodded silently, stood up at the same time and said: "From today onwards, Daxia will ban supplies from the Northern Han Dynasty, and not even a single piece of rice is allowed to be brought in."

"My lord." Several businessmen exclaimed.

"Smuggling is tantamount to betraying the country." Cheng Jinzhou said a word, and then left without a trace.

after one day.Cheng Jinzhou's request for an embargo on Daxia's supplies was placed on Emperor Lizong's desk.

If it had been earlier, His Majesty the Emperor might have sneered and said something like "It finally fell into my hands", and then sternly dismissed the memorial.But now, with a clear mind, he drove away from the palace, and went directly to the Royal Astromancer's mansion to inquire about countermeasures.

Mr. Liu Kuang, the Royal Star Warlock, certainly doesn’t care about everything.In fact, just like the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a good thing if the cabinet ministers could arrange national affairs properly and allow those in power to play comfortably.

Putting it on Warlock Liu Kuangxing, if His Majesty the Emperor can manage the country properly, produce a lot of resources, and provide some of them to him, he won't bother to care about whether you are good or bad, war or peace.

In the final analysis, the interests of the Star Warlocks lie in the world of Star Warlocks. National power is the foundation, but there is no need to waste too much energy on it.

However, His Majesty the Emperor believes that Warlock Liu Kuangxing must be interested in knowing about Cheng Jinzhou.

……

Cheng Jinzhou, who had finished his rest period, began to publish employment announcements in the Star Warlock Association.

He is a three-star warlock, with more than 1000 contribution points, all of which are hung in it, and the requirements are naturally in the chemical direction: purchasing materials, purifying materials.

As for mechanical star warlocks, Erwin, Wen Rui and Huang Xuan are basically enough.

He needs to make a detection device first to judge whether there are really border crossers, so that he can continue to make targeted arrangements.Otherwise, even if the star warlocks and the army who organized a large group found out that they were oversensitive, that would be the worst thing.

Yisu has wanted the body and detection equipment for a long time, but Cheng Jinzhouguang agreed but did not do it. There are all kinds of safety concerns, but it is not too difficult to really concentrate on collecting resources and so on.

Of course, if you can use the independent trading platform to purchase, the cost will be lower.

After purchasing a batch, together with the materials previously looted in the church, more than a dozen star warlocks in De'an soon entered the final stage of work.

The so-called detection instrument is more like a ray absorption instrument.It has a large radar-like fan-shaped absorbing plate, below it is a filter device made of eight kinds of materials, and at the end is an excitation and final judgment device.

According to Ysu.Due to the process of crossing the border, the person who crosses the border has a special wave on his body. The eight-layer filter device will be able to exclude other known waves similar to this wave, leaving this wave and other different types of waves together. When it reaches the bottom, make a final judgment, and if it matches, it will confirm the position in reverse.

This is the easiest detection instrument to make under the current conditions in Daxia—even so, the gentlemen, including Cheng Jinzhou, are still busy for two full weeks.

During this period, there was no reaction from the center of the imperial court. Except for the closure of a section of the border near the southwest, the transactions in other places remained the same.

The three star warlocks from Xingzhou watched Cheng Jinzhou's actions curiously, and even went to the scene to observe from time to time.

Due to the necessity of knowledge, Cheng Jinzhou sometimes briefly talks about some knowledge about waves, such as the differences between the frequencies of long and short waves, and even Kepler's laws.Because it was about the application, it didn't attract too many star warlocks' attention.However, the astrologists in Xingzhou have a broad vision, coupled with their suspicion of Cheng Jinzhou, they are full of interest.

On the day of the detector test, Cheng Jinzhou spent a total of 1200 contribution points and added 5 taels of silver.The star warlocks all gathered together to see what the use of such an expensive thing was.

Even Yisu muttered: "The body I designed was originally the strongest body form. If there are these resources, why should I simplify it?"

……

Other words: 2900 words supplement.I am going to go to other places, the update is uncertain in the next two days, and it should not be interrupted.
