Chapter 290 Robbery

The righteous and stern student from a poor family was carried out by Meng Da with one hand. The nobles continued the banquet, and no one cared about whether the social system was appropriate. That was a matter for the palace officials in the capital to consider. As vested interests, the only thing the local nobles need to do is enjoy, and at the same time, do not offend the first noble before becoming the first noble.

Zhao Zuxiang sat on the chair a little decadently, wondering which link had gone wrong. In order to feed a third-level star warlock without letting him know his identity, he spent a lot of money. Seeing Cheng Jinzhou walking back from the back garden, he felt really unhappy.

Fortunately, it was already getting late, and he was a bad old man, so no noble would come forward to ask for trouble. Your Majesty, the King of the County, misses the days when the family was the only one in the family.

Seeing Cheng Jinzhou chatting with the three high-level star warlocks again, Zhao Zuxiang couldn't help but get up and walk out. He didn't see the third-level star warlock he hired until he reached the edge of the back garden, a bad old man who was even more decadent than him.

It is very shameful for Star Warlocks to be hired by ordinary people. But Star Warlocks always need to consume. Sometimes, some Star Warlocks are tired of making money in clever ways, or they like to make quick money, so they will come out to do simple work. Most of the time, it is just for people. Star Warlock Simple job.

The bad old man received at least 500,000 taels of silver from Zhao Zuxiang, as well as various other benefits. He was a little embarrassed when he saw the prince, so he turned over his hands and said, "I quit."

"What did you say?" Zhao Zuxiang almost went crazy and raised his voice: "As long as tonight is over, everything will be over and you can do it again. Did you back down just now?"

"I quit." The old man continued, wiping his face with his sleeves without any trace of demeanor.

He is also the Star Warlock. If he were a noble, he would have been eliminated from the circle long ago.

"Deng Ping, that's not what you said when you collected the money."

"What do you want me to do?" The old man's beard curled up and he said, "I hid there, waiting for him to get close, and then you know what I saw? Three fourth-level star warlocks followed him, and I Knowing that Warlock Jiang Huangxing and Warlock Li Xianfengxing are nearby, what do you want me to do, what should I do?"

"but……"

"No more buts." The old man looked frightened, rubbing the beard on his chin, making it curl up, and said in shock: "Do you know why I promised you? My star array can guarantee that in the first time, Just avoid the detection of Jiang Huangxing Warlock or Li Xianfeng Star Warlock. You may be able to avoid the two of them, but 5 fourth-level Star Warlocks. When have you ever heard that there are 5 fourth-level Star Warlocks in Daxia? I'll take the money At that time, there were no five fourth-level star warlocks, and I never expected that there would be five fourth-level star warlocks."

Zhao Zuxiang's face was tense. When he was planning everything, he never expected that Xingzhou would send three fourth-level star warlocks. Although this made him want to kill Cheng Jinzhou even more.

The bad old man just turned around and left. Zhao Zuxiang looked at his back without saying a word, always finding an opportunity for him to take action again. As for getting the money back, he didn't even think about it - there were more star warlocks who were short of money than dogs who were short of meat, let alone these star warlocks who had reached their age.

A silent failed assassination obviously did not change Cheng Jinzhou's mood. He still listened to Taiyu's chatter, answering two or three unintelligible questions at the same time, and finally fell asleep at some point.

Young people, sleep is always good. The next morning, the nobles resumed their morning activities and carnivals. Kong Wei looked at Cheng Jinzhou and sighed to Jiang Huang: "The last time you saw a young man falling asleep while talking to you, was when?"

"I don't know, I might bleed its nose, or use a gravity star array to press it to bleed." Jiang Huang said with a smile and said: "He is still growing, it will be very good if he sleeps for a while. Normal. Haha, have you ever seen a three-star warlock with a long body?"

Several people laughed, and Taiyu gasped: "I remember what my son was doing when he was 15 years old. He didn't have any talent as a star warlock, so I married him a wife, locked him in the house, and told him , Unless you give me a gifted grandson, I will never leave the house for the rest of my life."

"and after?"

"He gave me 12 grandsons. The seventh grandson is quite talented." Taiyu snickered and said, "I'm too lazy to give birth to another son. If I did it myself, I would definitely succeed without having so many." .”

The reason why it is difficult for the Star Warlock family to inherit the family is that it is difficult to have heirs. It is not easy to have a gifted son. As for whether he can become a third-level or fourth-level star warlock, it will take a lot of opportunities.

Kong Wei listened to Taiyu's joke, smiled and shook his head: "I don't know how the Holy Church cultivates future generations, a 15-year-old three-star warlock."

"And there must be original contributions." Jiang Huang told the three people about the promise of "Extensive Function", shook his head and said: "I am a four-star warlock, and I have never received such a promise."

"Calculus is a hot topic. You are a pioneer." Hui Minren rarely speaks, and his words are concise and to the point.

The chatting of several star warlocks woke Cheng Jinzhou up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Taiyu's red hair, swung like a scarf.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Jinzhou took a sip of light green tea, then went to the flower bed next to him to rinse his mouth.

"I've considered your suggestion. It's very interesting, but I have to read your new article again." Taiyu said what he was thinking.

"The second issue of Science?" Cheng Jinzhou glanced at Warlock Jiang Huangxing and said, "You can read the articles I selected at any time."

"He graded all the articles." Jiang Huang patted Taiyu on the shoulder and said, "It's accurate to single digits. It seems that he really has his own standards."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, turned around and coughed: "I think you will stay in Daxia for the next few days. When the banquet is over, are you interested in going to Beihan with me? "

Jiang Huang asked strangely: "Why are you going to Beihan?"

"I'm going to plant some more things. I have a lot of land in Shaonan, and De'an too, but there is a lack of people to farm it. I remember that the Northern Han Dynasty plundered a lot of Daxia's population every year, so I wanted to go to them and get some back." Cheng Jinzhou To be honest, in this era of the 17th century, human resources were still the most important resource. The cost of raising children was not cheap, and production always required more and more people.

If he pulls out all the tenants controlled by the Cheng family and grows real rice for himself, it is theoretically possible, but in reality it will cause more trouble. Seeing that there were so many star warlocks around me, I simply wanted to take advantage of them.

Cheng Jinzhou was able to come up with exchange items that made all the Star Warlocks excited, such as the cotton fruit that Warlock Jiang Huangxing liked very much, but he wanted to try it first and see if he could directly invite a few Star Warlocks together without making the relationship too naked. .

"Do you want to rob the Northern Han Dynasty?" Jiang Huang asked, and then explained to the other three star warlocks the relationship between Daxia and the Northern Han Dynasty, as well as the recent invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty.

By accepting Cheng Jinzhou's cotton fruit, he was actually expressing his love for Cheng Jinzhou. After all, the things were very valuable. The explanation between the words was quite biased towards Cheng Jinzhou. On the other hand, he was a star warlock in Daxia, and his relationship with the Northern Han Dynasty was not much better. It was a barren land of star warlocks, and only the Holy Church was preaching and developing. Slower than Daxia.

Taiyu looked at the other two people and said cheerfully: "I'll go with you."

"I've heard about Northern Han Dynasty, let's go and see it." Kong Wei also said the same.

Hui Minren nodded indifferently. There were probably few things that four level four star warlocks couldn't do.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He thanked him happily and waved to Shi Mo, saying, "Go and prepare ships and carriages that can transport more than 30,000 people. Oh, and call Xu Guinian."

He shrugged and said to the others: "Since everyone is willing to go to Beihan to have a look, I will just send the documents there."

Dr. Cheng Da is not interested in war or anything like that, but if he wants to grow real rice and pearl rice, he must do it manually. He can't take a star warlock to plow the fields. Compared with buying cattle and farm tools, population is the most effective. In fact, as semi-nomadic people often do, every few years in Daxia, tens of thousands of household registrations will be lost. They rush to work as coolies, and after so many years of accumulation, they can almost have as many people as they want.

Compared with acquiring populations from other places in Daxia, the moral cost of choosing Northern Han will be much lower. Tenants are one of the most valued private properties of nobles. If someone robs a noble's tenants without any reason, or turns free people into tenants, although they will not be resisted immediately, they will always be resented. In addition, in the era before trains and automobiles, when poor families moved thousands of miles, the mortality rate would be higher than in war.

The star warlocks didn't care what Cheng Jinzhou was farming for. Taiyu clapped his hands and said, "Let us take a look at the article you selected first."

"Then go to the Star Tower. The articles are all in the workroom." Cheng Jinzhou said and was about to leave when he saw Xu Guinian trotting over.

The county magistrate, who is about to retire, seems to have a second spring under the leadership of the county magistrate. As the second-in-command of De'an County, he not only mastered the daily work of the county, but also received unanimous praise from the central government and the people. The latter was nothing more than the former, which many fourth- and fifth-rank officials could not hope for.

He naturally knew where all this came from. He trotted bumpily, bowed his head and bowed.

Cheng Jinzhou was too lazy to help him and said directly: "Go and draft a document and give it to the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. Just say that their army caused losses to us some time ago. You can go over the reasons a little more and then let them accompany 100,000 households. Give it to me. Just do it."

"To the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, isn't that the credential?" Xu Guinian had finally done a job as a civil servant, so he was not too ignorant. He whispered: "The credential can only be issued by the central government..."

"Give the central government a backup copy. I will send two copies together today. In addition, please note in it that in three days, Jiang Huang, a fourth-level star warlock, Taiyu, a fourth-level star warlock, Kong Wei, a fourth-level star warlock, and Hui Minren, a fourth-level star warlock, will The top star warlocks will go to the border together to see the customs of the Northern Han Dynasty."

"And I, Li Xianfeng, a fourth-level star warlock." Li Xianfeng, who had disappeared for a day, appeared at the door covered with a veil.
