future library.

Chapter 34 Xiaoxizhuang (1)

Cheng Jinzhou used up all the grain stored in the warehouse that day.

The more than 200 taels of silver saved earlier have all been cleared out so far.Although the other courtyard was quiet, it couldn't store too much food. Seeing that the scribes were exhausted, Cheng Jinzhou finally shook his finger and let them all out.

"Go and buy some more grain." Cheng Jinzhou took out two ingots of silver and threw them to Shi Yan.

The latter did not dare to ask where the food had gone. The aristocratic family had always had a tradition of storing food and weapons in times of peace.Even if the ground of the other courtyard was completely hollowed out, he didn't find it strange at all.As for asking the accountant to write some strange words or phrases, or to deceive others, or to compile verses for the treasure map, Shi Yan didn't want to think about it at all.

Cheng Jinzhou bowed his head and began to sort out the pages of the book. Although there were marks on the corners, since seven people copied them separately, it was almost impossible to make the content of each paragraph and sentence easy to find and not easy to link together. Fortunately, Cheng Jinzhou is good at mathematics, and he can use English without restriction, with Cantonese notation mixed in. Now, after comparing it, he finally put together a bunch of books.

Seeing the messy and messy tearing of the books pasted on the paper again, Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and smiled wryly. He originally fantasized that he could take out these books and search for them at any time when he needed them. After years of use, these papers will rot.

"There is a gap in technology." Cheng Jinzhou sighed, huddled together under the setting sun, and used clumsy needlework to staple several books together. While poking at the paper, he said to himself to the no longer dense face: "23 books, you gave me 5 novels, that's not bad, I'll take it for leisure, what is the rest? Except for this rice-milling book, it's either in foreign languages ​​or full of nonsense."

He was talking to himself, but he was actually quite satisfied, at least he added more than 20 Star Alliance points, and the book he got was not too bad. Although he had to pay 50% more for translating foreign language books, it was better than the so-called The star field is several times stronger.

What's more, he got more or less a technical book about rice milling that he can use - "Dynamic Analysis and Dynamic Balancing Process of Main Shaft Components of Rice Milling Machine".If this was the era of internal combustion engines, with just such content, he could immediately transform into a big grain merchant in Shaonan.

The warning face was not activated, and naturally no one answered. Cheng Jinzhou put the books into the copper box in a good mood, and hummed a song unconsciously.

It was a great encouragement to Cheng Jinzhou to find that the managers of the Star Alliance library still had to strictly abide by the rules.Although the other party will not let him manipulate, it is enough to be able to form under the same rules.

Cheng Jinzhou came out of the room shaking his head, while Shi Yanzao stood outside with a bitter face, his body covered with dust, as if he had traveled a long way.

"Third brother, the bald head of the gatekeeper of Hongri Village said that we took too much grain and refused to sell it. The grain store in the city also said that someone will check it soon, and it must have the official seal of the yamen to take it. Give us the food." Without Cheng Jinzhou asking, Shi Yan filed a complaint first.

Dr. Cheng Da raised his eyebrows and said, "Then file it for them."

"It's closed." Shi Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Cheng Jinzhou. It wasn't too late. When the grain store was still open, it was five or six o'clock at most, but the government officials got off work earlier.

"The yamen is not opened by our family, and the yamen is normal." When Cheng Jinzhou said this, he felt a little weird.The boss of the Shaonan yamen is his cheap father. From top to bottom, the one who can be named is either Cheng or his wife. At least three generations have blood relations with the main line of the Cheng family...

Shi Yan was also worried about being scolded by Cheng Jinzhou for failing to finish the work, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Then tomorrow?"

"En..." Cheng Jinzhou dragged his voice, and thought about it: "Is it because we have bought too much food recently, and they are a little scared?"

Shi Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to move. It's wrong to say yes or no at this time.

The Great Xia Dynasty has always been very strict with the food. In the past, the quantity was small. Everyone looked at the Cheng family's face and did not strictly abide by the rules. It is no problem to report after the event or even to report the statistics the next day, but the more food he wants to use The more and more people came, the food companies including the Huo family were a little afraid.

Such a thing as rebellion hadn't happened for many years, but even if it was a crime of hoarding, it was related to such a major matter as food and fodder, the Cheng family could easily get away with it, and other families would not dare to act rashly.

The Zhuang Ding of Hongri Village used the method of half-stealing and half-selling, and it was okay for less, but it was a bit difficult for transactions of more than one hundred taels of silver.

Thinking about it this way, every family has a reason not to sell grain, but there will be more and more places to use grain in the future.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his eyebrows, thought of the book in his hand, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We still need to build some institutions to digest food, Shi Yan."

"Yes." Shi Yan took the opportunity to move his rigid body quickly.

"Which one of the villages at home has a rice mill?"

"There should be all of them." Shi Yan whispered: "There may be more big Zhuangzi."

Cheng Jinzhou scolded himself for being stupid. This is not a future world of division of labor and cooperation. He patted his forehead and said, "How many of them use water power?"

"Hongri Village uses river water..."

"What's more? You're close to the city, too lazy to run." Everyone in Hongri Village was staring at him. He was just setting up a flag and didn't want to fall in the eyes of others.

Shi Yan thought about it and said, "Xiaoxizhuang? You can get there at most 10 miles out of the city."

The 5-kilometer horse race was approaching in no time, Cheng Jinzhou snapped his fingers and said, "Go to Xiaoxizhuang tomorrow and tell the people in charge there, sir, I have requisitioned their rice mill, and I will call in a few more skilled workers. I will make things .”

Xiaoxizhuang is the Zhuangzi of the public, but if Cheng Jinzhou only troubled a rice mill, no one would care.

Shi Yan came down and thought about how to tell the first butler and the second butler that Cheng Jinzhou had already directed the staff to lift the copper box.

He doesn't plan to really mill the rice either. The book in his hand is at best to improve the rice mill, but no matter how much the production efficiency can be improved, it is not easy to make money in this world.

The accountants walked out through the small door, each holding a string of money, which was almost five days' wages.The salary is not deducted, this reward is already a lot for the second-class accountants, half of it can be regarded as a hush money.

Aristocratic families have a sense of proportion in rewarding people.After adulthood, servants usually prepare red envelopes one by one. At most, the master just indicates that the reward is more and the reward is less. The specific amount has a fixed number.Cheng Jinzhou is still young, and the bookboys under him have not been trained in this way, and the strings of bounties are exposed, but there are servants in the inner house secretly laughing at them.

Of course, growing up, many people have laughed at the sick Yangzi Cheng. Now it is not easy to find something that can be laughed at.

There will be another update tonight, I hope everyone will vote to let Zhiniao stay on the rookie list longer.
