Future library

Cheng Jinzhou suddenly realized that he couldn't keep up with his father's thinking. When he heard what Hui Jinchuan said, he didn't understand and said, "What?"

Cheng Yun'an said clearly: "The provincial examination in Beijing is just a funnel. Do you think I don't know your purpose of taking the provincial examination?"

Classmate Xiao Cheng suddenly laughed awkwardly.

"Our Cheng family does not have a fiefdom, and you are a star warlock. It is understandable if you want to be a local official. But there are nobles everywhere. If you are not in Jinchuan Prefecture, do you really think that you can figure it out with the power of the star warlock?" Cheng Yunan If you are not good at being an official, you will not be confused.

"No one will be against me, right?" Cheng Jinzhou smiled sarcastically. His current status would not be compromised when standing in front of the officials of the Political Affairs Hall.

Cheng Yunan looked at him with a half-smile but said, "If the local officials didn't have their own tricks, Daxia would have become a vassal of the Star Warlocks long ago. The local officials won't openly go against you, but you don't have time to manage them." , from tax collection to spending money, there are countless tricks in it, so in Jinchuan, it is most comfortable for the family to help manage it. "

It is not that Cheng Jinzhou has not considered returning to Jinchuan, but what he first wants is sufficient mineral resources and relatively fertile land. It would be best if the surrounding environment can adapt to the needs - a county that can meet so many requirements, but As you can imagine, the number was very small, so there was little room for him to consider the specific location.

Cheng Yun'an's mind still maintains a comfortable and leisurely life, and only on this basis does he focus on getting promoted and making a fortune.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his nose and said for a long time: "I want to see where the second uncle can choose. There must be a vacancy."

It is actually not easy to recruit people who want to become officials. Generally speaking, only when the court is short of officials, candidates will be pulled out from time to time, which is called "big selection". After some internal operations, the selected gentlemen can serve as they wish. The whole process sounds simple, but for the candidates, it may take many years to prepare for the tribute, which is not much easier than the imperial examination.

Even so, the previous imperial courts also stipulated that unless they were too old, candidates had to go through three examinations before they could wait in line - three examinations is nine years, which is so far away that there is no hope.

After Shenzong, the imperial court was restructured. Because the civil service group needed a lot of fresh blood, such regulations were removed. However, the competitiveness of appointing people to officials was still weak. Cheng Jinzhou also took the actual situation into consideration.

Cheng's father didn't force him. Seeing that Cheng Jinzhou understood, he waved his hand and said, "I'm going to continue pretending to be sick. You can go out and play by yourself."

"Yes." Cheng Jinzhou smiled bitterly and took advantage of the situation to retreat.

Returning to his house, Yisu suddenly chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that your father would be the clearest."

"How do you say that?" Cheng Jinzhou frowned and said, "Of course I have to find a place with sufficient resources first."

"Whether you want to collect resources or manage states and counties, someone has to do it. I don't think you are a management genius. If you don't have such ability, it would be better to leave it to your own family to handle it."

Cheng Jinzhou reluctantly snorted and said, "It's not that simple."

Yisu did not argue with him, but half-urged: "You didn't even look at the autonomous trading platform today."

"What's the hurry?" Cheng Jinzhou said, still opening the trading platform.

As usual, the search is from top to bottom.

As usual, nothing special. In particular, there was no trace of the food Cheng Jinzhou was looking for.

Most of the other businessmen do not deal in grain.

Yisu was also watching, and said in a calm voice: "Buddha has never given you any trouble recently."

"Maybe the anger has dissipated?" Cheng Jinzhou guessed.

"Does it look like it to you?"

Cheng Jinzhou recalled: "In the beginning, no matter what I asked for, he would always find trouble. Now it seems a bit like you when we first met."

To say that he didn't offend the other party too much, the way he dealt with it was more like dealing with the former customer service - it's a pity that Buddha's belly is too small.

Yisu smiled like a witch boiling a frog: "I was thinking about how to escape from the Star Alliance and how not to be caught. At the beginning, my attitude was very good."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "You have to be careful."

"Is there anything I need to be careful about?" Cheng Jinzhou smiled and disagreed.

"The fact that he forced you to buy books before means that he is short of money. He is causing trouble because he hates you." Yisu smiled evilly and said: "A customer service person who is short of money and doesn't like you is very dangerous. . And, since he is short of money, why hasn’t he distributed books to you for more than a month? Do you think he has money again? "

Cheng Jinzhou looked around, knowing that Yi Su would not threaten him out of boredom, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"There are so many disgusting things that customer service can do. You lack the ability to protect yourself."

Cheng Jinzhou glanced at him suspiciously and said, "You have another request, right?"

Yisu smiled and said nothing.

With his own life at stake, Cheng Jinzhou thought for a while and said in an uncertain tone: "If you were still a customer service person and I provoked you, what would you do?"

"You should also add that customer service is short of money." Yisu snorted and said: "It's just fun for rich customer service to kill agents, but customer service without money usually restrains themselves more to avoid being Covenant fine. You're not too lucky."

Cheng Jinzhou took a breath and said, "Okay, what would you do if you were short of money?"

"Secretly sell your planet to border crossers."

"Border crossers?" Cheng Jinzhou didn't sound like a good thing. He looked at Yisu's face in the sky and asked, "What is that situation?"

"There are many people from the Star Alliance who want to be the Earth Emperor, but only indigenous people can become agents of the Star Alliance. But don't think that with this rule, you can sit back and relax." Yisu said with a very interesting expression: "Yes. As far as customer service is concerned, smuggling people to backward planets is the most profitable business. Not only can you collect a lot of money before, but you can also continue to make profits in the future."

Cheng Jinzhou widened his eyes and said, "Human smuggling? How many people? What kind of people?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Yisu said lazily: "Some people may want to be nobles like you; some people may be tired of being rich and want to be emperors; some people may just want to kill people. , or come to play with beauties; some may want to do an experiment. In short, although the Star Alliance prohibits similar behaviors, it does not mean that no one breaks the law. As for the number, there will rarely be more than one person on a planet."

"Will it threaten me?"

"It depends on the situation." Yi Su looked at Cheng Jinzhou's nervous expression, smiled, and said, "The world you live in is very vast. If the customer service puts someone in another country, you probably won't know."

"If it's in another country, then it's up to him." Cheng Jinzhou said insincerely.

Yisu saw what he was thinking, laughed twice and said: "He doesn't like you so much. If he wants to let someone come over, I'm afraid he will be violent. Maybe he will be a small businessman who can't survive. Let's just replace him." In your position, you will be miserable when the time comes."

Cheng Jinzhou's expression finally changed and he said, "Is there any way to deal with this situation? Does the Star Alliance not care?"

"The Star Alliance manages it, but your level is so low and everything has to be contacted through customer service, so what can you do?"

"So you want me to raise my level?" Cheng Jinzhou was always half doubtful.

"I have an easier way."

Cheng Jinzhou thought to himself: Here we come.

He kept a smile on his face and said, "You say."

"Don't think that I want to take advantage of you. We are in the same boat." Ys said and laughed: "You need to build an instrument to detect the connection between the planes. If the other party lets people in, you will know. , no matter where they land on this planet.”

Cheng Jinzhou was moved in his heart and said, "If someone comes after you, will you know about it right away?"

Yisu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You are very smart, you help each other."

As he spoke, he made a list in front of Cheng Jinzhou.

Light gray feldspar, hard chlorite, and permeable stone are all things Cheng Jinzhou has seen on the independent trading platform. The price per kilogram is at the level of 100,000 star yuan, exceeding the price of gold. In addition, cross stones are rare and expensive materials that can be purchased on independent trading platforms. You can often see people asking for them, and the price per kilogram has reached millions.

As for metals such as iron, manganese, chromium, lead and tin, tungsten, molybdenum, germanium, lithium and lanthanum, although they are familiar to Cheng Jinzhou, the prices on the independent trading platform are not low. A few types are even restricted in purchase, which makes Cheng Jinzhou scratch his head.

After a little research, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but said: "How do you know that I am willing to buy these expensive things?"

"Because you and I both want to survive?" Ys said very honestly.

Cheng Jinzhou couldn't say no. What Ys described might be true, maybe it was fake, or it might just be a plan for himself, but he couldn't be sure. Furthermore, even if Ys really wanted to avoid the Covenant's pursuit, he couldn't say. Want to help.

The current former customer service classmate is, to a certain extent, more useful than the Covenant Library.

After all, the library is too random, and what Cheng Jinzhou needs more is a thorough explanation.

Maybe one day, he will be able to grow to the point where he can make progress by studying on his own, but for now, he is still a humble graduate student and needs the guidance of a mentor.

Although Ys has selfish motives, his knowledge is very practical. And when it comes to selfishness, no professor in later generations will be less selfish than Ysu, and the graduate students still stood up to it.

"Maybe I should talk to Lord Buddha again." Cheng Jinzhou was hesitant. According to Yi Su's request, he couldn't rob the imperial warehouse again.

Yisu smiled nonchalantly and said, "You can talk about whatever you want."

Cheng Jinzhou immediately didn't know what to say.

The new customer service comrade is really not someone I can communicate with.
