Chapter 201 Compensation
The miracles of the sanctuary will be chanted throughout Great Xia and even wider areas for a long time.
Not only the Xia Jing Holy Church, but also the holy churches everywhere are taking this opportunity to expand aggressively.Recruiting believers is only one aspect of it. Purchasing various properties, reaching deals with various parties, and obtaining profits for the Holy Religion are all part of it.
The development of any religious affairs is inseparable from the support of massive funds.
Cheng Jinzhou was going to spend a long time collecting new body parts for Yisu.Although he is still not sure whether he is really willing to create a body for him.
Cheng Jinzhou would definitely not feel safe letting a Star Alliance fugitive, a former Star Alliance customer service, bounce around on his own territory.
However, the Star Alliance is a problem that bothers him more. Ever since Foye accepted the customer service job, the Star Alliance has become even more difficult to deal with.He also needs to improve his strength and needs the help of the former customer service.
In fact, Mr. Fo's only active contact with the current customer service is to make a request to Cheng Jinzhou and forcibly assign books to him.According to Ys's explanation: "No matter how much you buy, it's useless. They will ask for a 30% increase every time."
Because customer service also has performance pressure.
Cheng Jinzhou can understand, but he doesn't like being the one under pressure, especially because Buddha's performance time period seems to be very irregular, and the allocated books are extremely meaningless, and the cost of hundreds of thousands of stars makes him feel very meaningless, even if It is for this reason that dozens of Star Alliance contribution points have been increased.
Fortunately, he can still transfer the pressure.
The warehouse managers of the church are the ultimate bearers of the current pressure. They not only have to endure Father Li Zhong's complaints, but also have to deal with Cheng Jinzhou's demands. Their lives are very difficult.The priest was unwilling to personally stop Cheng Jinzhou, and he quickly bought out all the supplies in the warehouse. The other astrologists even criticized the administrator, but no one criticized the "Morning Light Sacrifice".
Whether it is the world of astrologists or the survival philosophy of feudal society, the privileged class is allowed to occupy the most resources, even in the most unreasonable way.
In return, Yisu provided Cheng Jinzhou with more realistic technology.
For example, Yi Su needs pure ferrous iron. Although he can separate it for a while with the chemical knowledge of middle school, ferrous iron is easily oxidized into ferric iron. To get the needed reagents, the former customer service can teach Cheng Jinzhou a lot of knowledge. After all, the things in the independent trading platform are not cheap. Any unit of goods is calculated at 10 star yuan, which is equivalent to several taels of silver. It is acceptable for daily use. , if it is produced on a large scale, the first person to suffer is himself.
The peasant class who do not have enough to eat and clothing to wear will not buy good and cheap things.The first thing they need is low price and sufficient quantity.There is no need to worry about the tenants who are downgraded to another level. Their property does not allow them to buy anything casually.
Standing in the specially made laboratory, Cheng Jinzhou had a great time.
The experimental table made of logs, the hard platform made of pure granite, coupled with the continuous supply of distilled water, almost thought it was in some kind of high-level and quiet national middle school laboratory.
Two star warlock apprentices helped Cheng Jinzhou, and Cao Feng star warlock also visited the laboratory.He is now focused on pursuing the advancement of astrology, and doesn't care about issues such as the Holy Church and the Association.
In other words, even if he doesn't pursue the advancement of astrology, he doesn't care about the relationship between the Holy Church and the Astromancer Association.
He will stay in the outer peninsula, except for the good treatment in the star tower of Warlock Liu Kuang, it is largely a coincidence.
In fact, there are far fewer astromancers in the temple and the association who have a sense of identity than imagined. They are either busy with their own affairs, or they are scientists who lack sympathy, just like all scientists.
Warlock Cao Fengxing watched Cheng Jinzhou busy with chemical problems, and shook his head regretfully: "Are you really going to waste time on changing objects?"
Astromancers' views on chemistry are still scattered, and there is no unified understanding of chemistry.Changing the form of matter through reagents, etc. is called the transformation of objects.
While doing it, Cheng Jinzhou replied, "What's wrong?"
"The transformation of objects cannot solve the world's problems. It is just a matter of one object, which is too simple." Warlock Cao Fengxing used a very fashionable point of view. Most warlocks are not optimistic about chemistry and never regard it as a formal way.
Cheng Jinzhou laughed and said, "I will only spend a short time on this."
"You are wasting your talent. You should spend your time on more important things. Take longer to get more accurate answers." Cao Feng's reason is very good. He has warned Jinzhou more than once to cherish talent.
Cheng Jinzhou didn't know how to answer. His talent could only be described as average. He was able to successfully cheat and become a doctor. He passed the national examination after all. His intelligence level was not low, but it was far from the level of a scientific genius.
Of course, in Daxia, he has the thoughts cultivated by later generations, and now he has the teachings of Yisu, and he can consult books at any time, which shows that he is much better than normal star warlocks, but how can he not waste his talent, or he Whether he is really talented, Cheng Jinzhou himself is not sure.
At this moment, a star warlock knocked on the door and freed Cheng Jinzhou.
Xiao Cheng immediately said loudly: "Come in."
"My lord, your second uncle, Cheng Yunxiang, is here." The status of an apprentice in the church sometimes has more to do with his occupation, but they usually have religious tendencies, and their attitude towards Cheng Jinzhou is also very respectful.
"Let him come in." Cheng Jinzhou said, and the apprentices began to enter the door.
Cheng Yunxiang paced around with a smile and walked in.
He is also in charge, and he has already stepped into the ranks of senior officials.Now that his official career is going smoothly, his face is getting redder and brighter. When he saw Cheng Jinzhou, he laughed loudly and said, "My good nephew, Lord Sacrifice."
His voice has a strong sense of frustration, which not only highlights family affection, but also has a lot of greetings on class status, which is very skillful.
Cao Feng glanced at him, and turned to the inner room without interest.He is a standard technical person and never asks about personnel matters, etc. Although he has his own way of dealing with people, he is actually not annoying.
Sure enough, Cheng Yunxiang laughed twice, and said with a long bow: "Master Star Warlock, please help yourself."
Then, he said in an exaggerated and showy voice: "Jinzhou, do you know how many people have come to see my second uncle recently?"
"Oh?" Cheng Jinzhou not only has the Holy Church to report information, but also has Shen Cong in the capital, so the information is not blocked.
"I collected 5 taels of silver alone, and brought a total of more than a dozen sentences. Do you want to listen?" Cheng Yunxiang is a smart man. His house is open to the public, and all the clever servants in the capital know it. How to hide Cheng Jinzhou.But he would not give up such a good opportunity, so he told Cheng Jinzhou everything without hiding anything about the money.
At his current position, hiding thousands of taels of silver is of no use, but gaining connections is crucial.It was also a matter of using money. Cheng Yunxiang could more or less choose who could get it and who couldn't. In this way, he took the money with his left hand and handed it to Cheng Jinzhou with his right hand to gain some favors by the way. A very simple win-win approach.
Cheng Jinzhou didn't think so deeply, but he was a little dazed when he heard his number: "5 taels of silver? You didn't promise anything?"
He himself misappropriated public funds, cheated and embezzled a lot of things, and he wouldn't say anything about it if he just "returned" in an awe-inspiring manner.However, 5 taels of silver was also very unexpected. The so-called three-year Qing Zhifu, a hundred thousand snowflake silver, received 5 taels of silver in such a short period of time, which is really surprising.
Cheng Yunxiang is a snobbish eye in the officialdom, he doesn't like poor relatives, but he doesn't have any envy for rich and powerful family members, which is completely different from the so-called small peasant spirit.He smiled and took out a small box from his sleeve and said: "I didn't give a definite answer. The 5 taels of silver are all here, of which 2 taels are pure gifts, and some are for your father. The third brother returned it again, and I took it when they gave it to me. The remaining 3 taels, and any money that needs to be passed on, 500 taels will be given away, and one or two thousand is not a lot, so I took it all. Those who want to meet, I have returned them all, and I wrote down the name, number and words for you on a piece of paper. Those who want to meet are on another piece of paper."
He took out a piece of jute paper, on which was densely written in small script, the accounts were clear, not only the name, but also the human relationship behind it.It looks clear.
Cheng Jinzhou looked at it and nodded in his mind. His cheap second uncle didn't have a very good character, but his ability as an official was top-notch. He was a standard Chinese official.
Just looking at this form, it is not something ordinary people can do.In comparison, my cheap dad is too literate, and giving gifts without accepting them will not work in future generations, let alone in a feudal society.
Cheng Yunxiang said again: "Did you know, Grand Duke Heyi? He sent 1 taels of silver and just wanted to meet you. I refused, so he sent another 5000 taels of silver as an apology."
"apologize?"
"It is said that he is the fourth commander under him. He is jealous of others. When he went to sprinkle salt on other people's fields, he accidentally sprinkled it on your field..."
"I know about this." Cheng Jinzhou immediately interrupted him and said: "Hundreds of acres of my land have been watered thoroughly. Not only is the food in it gone, but the land will not be usable for many years. 5000 taels of silver will Want to let it go? Don’t even think about it.”
"5000 taels of silver is just to spread the word." Cheng Yunxiang smiled and said in a long voice: "I heard that the entire battalion of the fourth commander is locked up in the basement of the church. This kind of thing will not be spread out. It sounds good, so let’s forget about it, right?”
Real rice is a very valuable thing.Cheng Jinzhou had long known that Wu Shuangsheng and others were imprisoned, but he was too busy with ceremonies and the like to take care of it.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and said: "That's all for other people. Please return the compensation from Grand Duke Heyi."
Cheng Yunxiang immediately understood that Cheng Jinzhou was expressing dissatisfaction in disguise.But he still said euphemistically: "After all, Grand Duke Heyi is one of the few nobles in the capital, and he is also the emperor's confidant. In my opinion, the number should not be too large."
He felt that the loss of hundreds of acres of paddy fields was nothing, and in his heart he regarded the Grand Duke of Heyi as a high-level person.On the contrary, Grand Duke Heyi himself felt that he had offended the Dawn Priest and the Star Warlock, and wanted to make amends neatly.
If the loss was not real rice, Cheng Jinzhou's thoughts might be more like Cheng Yunxiang's. Now he simply shook his head and said: "There is no need to talk about tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Cheng Yunxiang suddenly smiled wryly, thinking that asking someone to pay 10,000+ taels of silver seemed a little too much.But he didn't know that the prices offered by He Dagong himself were higher than this.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Yunxiang suddenly said: "Grand Duke Heyi has great influence in the imperial court, why don't you ask him to help you with the provincial examination quota?"
