For a long time, the imperial examinations in Daxia had clearly marked prices.

Things like three hundred taels for a scholar and three thousand taels for a scholar often appeared in the Shenzong period when the economy was the most prosperous.

On the contrary, in the period when the economy was less developed, the price of imperial examinations continued to rise - which shows that price transparency is very meaningful, and opaque prices will allow monopolies to obtain excess profits.

In the famously corrupt era, one Jieyuan would be auctioned for two to thirty thousand taels of silver, which would be the limit. After all, it is only half a level higher than others.

But under Lizong's tenure, everyone practiced corruption secretly, and the cost of corruption also increased. It's like drugs. In some countries, 100 yuan is enough to smoke for a month, while in other countries, 100 yuan is only enough for one puff...

Cheng Jinzhou was heartbroken over the loss of hundreds of acres of paddy fields, and wanted to teach others a lesson, so he thought for a moment and responded: "Jie Yuan can only be regarded as an additional condition. The money to be compensated and the people to be dealt with cannot be less."

In fact, he really doesn't care about the resistance of the "Grand Duke of Harmony". The temple is a standard moisturizer and silent. With his status today, he can exert a great influence in Daxia. In addition, more things will be planted and produced in the future. The Grand Duke of Italy is equivalent to a shield made of the bones of a thousand-mile horse. A sharp knife edge must be cut on it to make up for the losses to the greatest extent.

Seeing that his nephew was resolute, Cheng Yunxiang couldn't say anything else. In fact, he had achieved his goal long ago and inadvertently became Cheng Jinzhou's agent in the court. In terms of his ability and identity, he was indeed more suitable than Cheng's father.

Mr. Cheng Yun'an's stubbornness is suitable for sacrificing his life to encourage morale when the country is ruined and the family is in ruins, but it is not suitable for organizational development when resources are abundant. Cheng Yunxiang is more suitable to make full use of resources.

Cheng Jinzhou also knew this, but the various benefits he brought could not be used by himself, and the profits had to be distributed to the family. No matter how powerful the second uncle is, he is still stronger than the indifferent passers-by on the street. Compared with people like Cheng Bingxun who never pay anything, he has made infinite progress. It is not impossible for both parties to adjust their relationship and put aside their past grudges.

He opened the small box and took out more than a dozen flying tickets worth about a thousand taels of silver. He pushed the rest to Cheng Yunxiang and said, "I've been busy recently. You can give the extra to my father's house. I'll take some." Reward others for their use.”

The church is not a paradise. The priests inside also like shiny and valuable "securities".

Giving the rest of the money to the second uncle naturally meant to express trust.

Cheng Yunxiang nodded happily and left. Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and returned, thinking wildly in his mind.

When he came out of the capital, he wanted some help but couldn't get it, but now he didn't have to say anything and help came to him. The treatment was completely different, which made him feel a little sad.

The advantage of being a noble family is that the cake can be made as big as the ability is high. In addition to focusing on their main business, noble children do not need to worry about too many idle matters. Unlike a child from a commoner background, once he attains enlightenment, the people around him will hug him tightly until he is completely pulled down.

As for the group of relatives and friends of the nobles, in addition to spending money, they can at least help a little bit. Sometimes, the nobles can support each other better - human nature may be ugly, and the purpose of morality is to cover up the ugliness. Limiting it to a certain extent does not eliminate ugliness or humanity. Hypocrites are more beneficial to society than true villains.

From the nouveau riche to the nobility, the first problem to be solved is actually still the problem of how to hold the thigh. The well-to-do nobles in the family are like lifeguards in the water. The nobles are like swimmers whose mouth and nose are soaked in water. He at least knows not to scratch and hug. The relatives of the nouveau riche are like drowning people who drink water quickly. , as long as there is a little consciousness, he will desperately grab everything he can grab with his hands, and then drag it to himself.

Looking at Cheng Jinzhou's contemplation, Cao Feng took a thread-bound book, returned to his original position, and used the established formula to persuade: "You are a promising star warlock, why bother with some practical matters in the field?"

Cheng Jinzhou was amused by him and said, "You are more verbose than the old professor. The food I grow is useful."

After being interrupted, he stopped his random thoughts, took out a pen and paper from under the table and started calculating again.

"It doesn't take 150,000 acres to do experiments." Cao said in a low voice: "But you won't be able to farm next year. If you become a sacrifice to the Holy Cult, the Star Warlock Association will definitely not be able to lease the fertile land to you for a long time."

"Let's talk about it next year." Cheng Jinzhou thought in his heart. He must go to other places next. The land in the capital is also the last year.

Cao Feng had a very good attitude. He picked up the thread-bound book and started reading it. He came to ask Cheng Jinzhou to answer some questions. With the help of classmate Xiao Cheng, the work originally completed by him progressed very quickly. Since it was impossible for Cao Feng to master the relevant knowledge of calculus, he simply handed over the theoretical part to Cheng Jinzhou, and he and Jin Xi delved into the practice.

They are all star warlocks who are about to reach their longevity. If the last attempt fails, they will have no choice but to return to their hometown to find a quiet place to retire. Second-level astromancers may live to be 150 years old, or even longer, but at most 100 years old, their intelligence will decline and will not change according to human will.

Cheng Jinzhou is indeed working hard on calculations and writing articles separately.

The main responsibility of the priests of the Holy Religion is to educate believers and guide the clergy. The secondary responsibility is to develop mathematics and increase the quantity and quality of star magicians. Cheng Jinzhou himself does not understand the teachings of the Holy Religion. The first point is to completely It won’t work. On the second point, he is sure that he can complete it.

Although the second job of priests in most countries is to teach star warlock apprentices and protect star warlock resources, for Cheng Jinzhou, it seems easier to do it himself.

The world of science is a cruel world - any world is cruel when it has definite goals and operating rules - in this world, the people standing at the top are always a small group, and valuable research It’s always the last 0.5 percent.

When the three laws of mechanics were released, Newton put an end to the classical physicists, who left no sound except applauding the innovation across the ages. When Kepler completed the laws of planetary motion, astronomers who observed the sky with their eyes had lost their academic value.

Cheng Jinzhou has too many things that can end this era.

The 17th century was a century of change, and it was also a century that was easily destroyed.

Other than the word count: March is coming to an end, and I have maintained the state of updating twice a day. Although it is a bit hard, I finally persevered and I believe I will be more in tune. At the same time, we will work hard to compete for monthly tickets in April, and I hope everyone can save their monthly tickets for Shitori at the beginning of the month.
