The indifference of customer service 010 did not dampen the enthusiasm. Just the discovery of more than 80 abandoned sites in the first preliminary visit allowed Cheng Jinzhou to earn more than two million stars, which is equivalent to four times his income in Tong County.

More importantly, slag is completely cost-effective. All the resources borrowed from Tong County must be repaid. Three or four months later, there will still be troublesome and annoying procedures. In Fuyang, it is conceivable that there must be many old slags buried under vegetation or loess, and there must also be many slags that have been abandoned separately. If you find them, the revenue will be exponential.

Bathed in the morning light, Cheng Jinzhou sighed without any sleepiness: "It is indeed Fuyang. The rich sunshine hurts people's eyes."

Customer service 010 unexpectedly appeared and said: "After your Star Alliance level is upgraded to level 4, you will have the authority to communicate with sellers on the independent trading platform. When the time comes, you will find that free communication is better than fixed The sales method brings too many benefits. You have to thank this barren land. It is precisely because of its barrenness that you lose your competitors."

"Will I have any competitors?" Cheng Jinzhou asked casually.

"There will always be, there will always be..." Customer Service 010 repeated in a low voice, with a sense of unfinished business.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his head slightly, as if he was fearless.

Shi Mo knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Cheng Jinzhou tidied his hair. It was inconvenient to take a maid with him when he was out, and the mining area was dusty. Fortunately, he was not a complete official's son, so he was not helpless.

"Third brother, if you find a reward of more than 30,000 kilograms of slag, you will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver, and if you find more than 30,000 kilograms of slag, you will be rewarded with 1 tael. Yesterday, a total of 2,800 taels of silver were redeemed." Shi Mo said in a low voice: "A total of 57 cases have been reported and 36 have been verified."

It doesn't matter if the reward was mistakenly reported, but it would be troublesome if Cheng Jinzhou made a blind trip, so Shi Mo had already sent people to check one by one to confirm the location and the amount of slag.

Cheng Jinzhou only remembered the quantity, nodded with satisfaction and said: "We will set off after dinner, follow the order."

"Yes." Shi Mo said and clapped his hands, and a servant brought dishes, including a thinly sliced ​​crystal clear ham, a plate of radish and cabbage mixed with balsamic vinegar, the latter was raw cabbage hearts. The small bowl contained white rice cooked from real rice, which was Cheng Jinzhou's request. Finally, there is the three-in-one mead commonly used by nobles, which is three parts water to one part honey and one part ginger juice that has been fermented for eight months.

For Cheng Jinzhou, mead is not delicious, but it is a sign of the maturity of a nobleman. Without the title of scholar or star warlock, many young people are not eligible to drink a glass of mead on formal occasions until they are twenty years old.

Even the choice of which kind of honey to mix with wine is also particular in different aristocratic families. Many century-old wealthy families have their own breakfast secrets, which are kept secret like treasures, as if they are really preserving the imprint of their ancestors.

Shi Mo stood in front of the small courtyard with his head held high. Guaranteeing Cheng Jinzhou's breakfast time was his only task from Cheng's mother. Whenever he fulfilled this duty, he would feel inexplicable excitement and honor.

In another room outside the door, Shen Cong was also discussing with Guifang the next stop.

Two consecutive smooth journeys made Shen Cong feel relieved. The 30,000 taels of silver stuffed into his pocket seemed to have allowed him to find a new way to make money.

Until the 21st century, there is no good way to prevent the misappropriation of warehouse supplies. The country cannot arrange too many officials and personnel in the warehouse, nor can it expect the officials in the warehouse to have high morals and sentiments. In fact, since the warehouse position is infinitely far away from the center of power, it is a very suitable place. The fat place of exile, like prison, is suitable for the gentleman in charge to immerse himself in his own world.

In other words, the risk of misappropriating the warehouse is very low and the cost of crime is very low.

Shen Cong absolutely believed in the power of the Star Warlock and the strength of his father. Of course, he did not want this matter to really reach his father's ears, but this hope did not mean that he would give up acquiring more capital.

The children of the aristocracy always have various reasons to spend money. The demand for consumption is like Niagara Falls, but the money earned is less than tears. Things like bankruptcy of the aristocrats are not surprising anywhere in Daxia. . Shen Cong was born as a bastard, so he needed money more than ordinary noble sons. Compared with the lack of money, his father's anger was actually far less terrifying.

After looking at the map for a while, Shen Cong finally circled a spot and said: "I think Lingbi County will be the next stop. This is also the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue. They are all tea leaves and tea bricks. I guess I can make a lot of money by selling them to the north. Little money. He’s always going to rob the household warehouse anyway.”

Guifang smiled and said: "Young masters, I have decided that I will do the actual work. I just don't know why Mr. Cheng takes the slag so seriously. I am greedy for the reward of 10 taels of silver for the location of the mine pile. This time it is over." I don’t know how many mine workers want to become landlords.”

"You and I both have a subsidy of thousands of taels, so don't think about astrology." Shen Cong was even less curious and said with a maturity that did not match his age: "Let your people be more dedicated, and they can do more. When you find a mine, look for another mine, and give them half of the silver reward first to boost everyone's morale. In a few days, there may be another silver reward."

Guifang responded loudly and said with a smile: "A group of boys have already received several months' worth of treatment money within a few days of coming out. How can they lose morale? Besides, working for the second young master, everyone will be happy even if they have no money." "

"You're right. Work hard." Shen Cong is the kind of unruly nobleman who likes unruly servants like Guifang the most. He slapped him twice and smiled.

Cheng Jinzhou raced against time to plunder the slag resources.

As hardworking as a groundhog, as diligent as an earthworm, as happy as a dung beetle...

In the face of direct interests, Xiao Cheng has always been a patient and meticulous person.

Most young people who have the ability to make their own cheat sheets and successfully cheat possess this valuable quality. They lack patience in class and lack of meticulousness in their homework, but they take the trouble to make cheat sheets and strive for perfection; in the process of cheating in exams, they are meticulous and conscientious, trying not to kill the wrong one or let anyone go.

They are young people who are good at making use of 2 hours. They can always burst out with amazing fighting power in a short period of time. Especially when they can see their grades rising, they will give full play to their advantages.

Adhering to the good quality, Cheng Jinzhou, like an old farmer, plowed Fuyang County twice with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky.

Although the number of ore piles that can be found every day is decreasing and their size is shrinking, it cannot be denied that the overall number is still extremely alarming.

The mines of the 17th century have no management and operation requirements of later generations - even the capitalist companies of the 21st century may not have any brilliant progress - they use every means to facilitate themselves, and abandon the slag on both sides of the road. The simplest, large-scale plowing on the back of deep ravines and mountains is also common. Because it is located in a plain, in some years, Fuyang Tin Factory even discarded tin slag directly into the waterway, and did not stop until it affected shipping.

When the last slag remained at the bottom of the river, in order to shorten his stay, Cheng Jinzhou even tied a rope and dived directly underwater to sell the slag to the Star Alliance. I don't care about the cold river water.

The total value of 4.5 million star yuan is a heart-warming reward.

"It's more than 5 million stars." Cheng Jinzhou was wrapped in a blanket and did not forget to open the ring.

Ever since Customer Service 010 showed up in front of Warlock Jiang Huangxing, Xiao Cheng has become less worried about the discovery of the ring, so much so that he has become very casual in front of ordinary people.

"5.27 million stars, do you want to buy books?"

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Cheng Jinzhou shrugged, feeling a little reluctant. If this money were converted into grain and sold in Daxia, it would be equivalent to almost 1 million taels of silver, which would be enough to ensure a comfortable life for three generations of ordinary people without the need for family planning - for the nobles, it would be enough to maintain a luxurious life for thirty to fifty years. It's also very easy.

Shen Cong looked at Cheng Jinzhou with admiration and gloating, laughed softly, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Cheng, we have chosen a few new places, please come and take a look."

As he spoke, he spread the map on the ground.

Cheng Jinzhou ignored the dusty ground and wet water stains on his body, and lay on the ground with Shen Cong to study.

Needless to say, Shi Mo and others blocked the situation and turned their backs, leaving only two protruding buttocks and heads that kept shaking in the outer circle.

Around the capital, a legend about "locusts" gradually emerged.

For these junior officials, whose highest official position is only level 13 or 14, and who are in charge of warehouses, no matter how hard they try, they cannot resist the invasion of Mr. Star Warlock and the officials - Shen Cong is a serious person, not a legitimate son. The version of the son of the prime minister has no legitimate son in the brackets.

In the political landscape of the Great Xia Dynasty, the so-called political system and the so-called checks and balances of power were all based on strength. Words such as justice were not often mentioned even by gentlemen of ethics. Not to mention the petty officials at the lowest level of power, especially the Cangsi of Fuyang County, who was forced to resign early without any reason, which made many people feel chilly - Cheng Jinzhou didn't have to go through his father at all. This can be done.

As for the gentlemen at the higher level, they watched Cheng Jinzhou wreaking havoc in the surrounding area with their usual dull eyes. Not long ago, the intervention of Warlock Jiang Huangxing obviously made them re-evaluate Cheng Jinzhou's value and ability.
