De'an's wharf has developed to be larger than Huangjin Port near the capital.

Low tax rates, no local protection, and relatively convenient transportation have allowed De'an Port to expand rapidly. Businessmen gather in the port in a haphazard manner. There is no government certification, no randomly allocated taxes, and no planning requirements. Everything is done in a way that is best for profit.

Although the shantytowns near the port were filthy, the roads on the outskirts of the port were soon overwhelmed by heavily loaded horse-drawn carriages, and the waters near the port were filled with ships and garbage. However, Cheng Jinzhou is now able to collect materials worth 3.5 million star yuan through a mere port, which is equivalent to 450,000 taels of silver, or more than 13 million U.S. dollars. With the material richness of this world, even if it is placed in the capital, it is also It takes a lot of time, but in De'an, because Cheng Jinzhou encourages faster operation, the merchants have greatly improved the supply and replenishment speed of materials.

After paying a large amount of linen and cotton to the Star Alliance, Cheng Jinzhou said with a smile on his face: "I guess in Daxia now, there must be many places growing more flax and cotton."

"It is the duty of the Star Alliance to integrate the resources of various planets." Buddha waited there to receive the resources and said casually, and then said: "If the entire planet is planted with real rice, your benefits will be much greater. "

Of course Cheng Jinzhou knew that if the entire planet was planted with real rice, the income would be tens of thousands of times higher, but how could he have such ability? He just smiled and said: "The price of fourth-grade real rice is much higher than that of linen. I think it is." almost the same."

"Yes." A strange look flashed across Lord Fo's face. During the conversation, he was constantly judging Cheng Jinzhou's value.

After closing the normal interface, Cheng Jinzhou paid 3.5 million star yuan to "Elder Dashang" and then waited quietly, completely unaware of what impact his words would have on the current customer service Buddha.

At the same time, intensive production of the second issue of "Science" began. In the age of woodblock printing, it was difficult to complete a 200-page journal - there was no point in making movable type, which was shallow and blurry, like a tasteless pirated copy. Not to mention that astrologers and nobles looked down on movable type printing, even small businessmen with a little savings were unwilling to look at movable type fonts.

The tendencies of the astromancers can be seen in typography. Even when it comes to relevant technologies, Star Warlocks are usually not very active. For example, the biographer Plutarch commented on Archimedes: "His ambition was so high, his soul was so deep, and his scientific knowledge was so rich that although his inventions made people regard him as a god, he disdained him. Write these things in books and pass them down to future generations, regard all machines and techniques for use and profit as contempt, and only pursue the wonderful knowledge that is not mixed with worldly needs."

The astrologers' pursuit of mathematics and their disdain for practice have reached a certain level, so in the final selection of the journal, Cheng Jinzhou had to emphasize mathematics and despise practice.

If "Science" were full of practical content, it would lose most of its readers, even those who are serious about practical matters.

Even though Warlock Cao Fengxing and Warlock Jin Heixing have already decided on their practical development, they are not proud of it and expect more recognition.

Of the 12 articles, Cheng Jinzhou simply omitted his own and filled in 9 mathematics and physics articles and 3 practical research articles. It can almost be predicted that the 5 articles selected by "Extensive Functions" according to the agreement will appear in the 9 mathematical articles. They may not have the shocking performances of the first issue, but due to the large number of applicants, the content is above average.

No one expects Science to outperform all journals every issue. Maintaining a comparable standard is the best choice, especially for the Star Warlocks of De'an. A journal platform that allows their articles to be distributed fairly is more important, and it is also the value of the existence of "Science".

Cheng Jinzhou stared at the journal sample before he went to visit his land in Shaonan, and left all the remaining work in the hands of Warlock Yan Yuxing. He is also a practical astral warlock. Compared with his colleagues, Yan Yu has to spend more time working to earn contribution points to maintain research.

If someone works hard, someone will live a leisurely life.

Taking advantage of the last busy hours in the farmland, Cheng Jinzhou invited Liu Qingshuang to ride on a tall and strong thoroughbred horse to inspect his new territory. He actually had no idea of ​​how much output 200,000 acres of land could produce and how big it would be.

The weather in August is the hottest time, and the freshly-baked jockey is bumping on Yueying, with sweat all over his thighs. His speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and he had difficulty adapting to the ups and downs of the horse. Equestrian is a skill that takes a lot of time to be tested in school. Even if he has been trained in polo, Xiao Cheng cannot compare with the nobles who have been practicing since childhood.

On the other hand, Liu Qingshuang followed Cheng Jinzhou easily. No matter whether he was fast or slow, she was always half a horse's head on the right side. Just doing this was extremely difficult.

Not only did Liu Qingshuang control her speed well, her movements on the horse were as graceful as a swan. When a thoroughbred horse runs, she also rises and falls harmoniously, and whenever she turns and accelerates, she changes with the horse's arc.

Cheng Jinzhou was quickly attracted to him. While imitating his movements, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "My equestrian coach is not good. If I learn from you, I will be at least twice as good."

His equestrian coach is the best coach in the Cheng family, so there is nothing wrong with him.

"You are a star warlock, you don't have to travel long distances on horseback." Liu Qingshuang knew in her heart that her little fiancé was complimenting her. I don't know since when, she started to be willing to stay with Cheng Jinzhou and listen to him speak different languages ​​​​from ordinary people. Of course, this is also the habit of noble families, and familiarity is one of the necessary procedures.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and shook his head and said: "It's a pity that we are still far away from Shaonan. Otherwise, we can hunt at Xiding Villa, and I should also be able to practice riding. I am not very good at bows and arrows, but I can use the star formation to hunt rabbits."

Liu Qingshuang tried her best to hold back her laughter and said, "You can't ride a horse when hunting in the forest."

"Oh, that's right." Cheng Jinzhou laughed awkwardly and was speechless. When he was in school, he wasn't very good at dealing with girls, and in Daxia, he didn't have a flexible tongue.

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhou was not angry, Liu Qingshuang stuck out her tongue carefully. When she first met Cheng Jinzhou, she only regarded him as an ordinary local noble. Later, when she was betrothed by her father, she was filled with surprise and fear. When she finally heard that Cheng Jinzhou had become a star warlock, she was completely surprised. .

For a 15-year-old girl, no matter how much she thinks, it is actually superficial.

Arriving at a small hill, he heard the sound of horses snorting. Cheng Jinzhou looked at the location and asked strangely: "Isn't this our land?"

There were tenants of his own for miles around, but no one could afford to ride a horse.

A second-level star warlock swooped down, and Lu Xu landed leisurely and said, "It's someone I've seen before."

"who is it?"

While talking, Cheng Jinzhou also rode up the hill, and what he saw was Prince Zhao Zuxiang, the former ruler of Nanling.

Now, what he was holding in his hand was an uprooted real rice seedling.
