On the third day, Bai Yue raised twelve thousand tons of fourth-level grain.

She thought carefully. Since a high-level agent purchases a large amount of grain, he will definitely not just limit it to a certain amount. A slightly larger amount will also show his ability in trade.

Cheng Jinzhou was really happy and bought them all. The price was only 70% of the platform purchase price, that is, 7 stars per ton.

Twelve thousand tons can be bought for less than one million stars. Compared with things like cotton fruit, food for common people is really cheap.

Yssu said disapprovingly: "It will take at least several months to sell 12,000 tons of grain. Storage is a big problem. You should buy it in batches. However, you can't make a fortune by buying and selling ordinary grain."

"Businessmen may not be able to afford it for a while, but the government will definitely be able to afford it." Cheng Jinzhou completely transformed into an official businessman,

His thinking was completely different from Ys. At the beginning of the purchase, he did not consider pure market operations.

In the feudal era, the largest channel provider in society was the government. It was foolish to try to open up new channels regardless of the government's capabilities.

On the contrary, making good use of existing government channels is the fastest way out.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't even need to show up in person, he could just entrust his family to sell 12,000 tons of grain.

Of course, about 20% of the cost is unavoidable, but in terms of cost, this is only a small amount, and he is not aiming to make a profit.

After a long period of cultivation, Cheng Jinzhou's vision has already transcended the limitations of simple trade and looked towards a larger strategic direction - changing the planting structure of Daxia.

Farmers produce high-grade food, and the Covenant supplies low-grade food. As for the price difference, of course it is obtained by great middlemen, more accurately called agents.

As early as when he purchased his first piece of land, he had already promised to become a "food king". Now it seems that even in the entire Star Alliance, food is a top priority.

The adjective for choice is always hard, not hard.

Having made his decision, Cheng Jinzhou only needs to wait patiently for others to implement the plan, while he himself has a lot of time left to spend on research. He also had to use it in research, because warlock Liu Kuangxing seemed to be recruiting to put aside his past suspicions. Only by hiding in his own team could he avoid his harassment.

No matter where in the world you are, if you don’t believe sows can climb trees, then don’t believe politicians’ gestures; if you don’t believe sows will eventually climb trees, then don’t expect politicians’ gestures to be as you wish.

Liu Kuang, in the final analysis, is a politician.

At least Cheng Jinzhou knew him that way.

His tolerance was essentially a compliment to Xiang Xin's exploration of advanced mathematics, but if it were Liu Kuang, it would be a completely different matter. The late development of non-Euclidean geometry is Riemannian geometry, which is an essential mathematical foundation for the development of modern physics and a tool used by the general theory of relativity. For astrologers, physics is an external strength.

If Xiang Xin's research is purely mathematical, then Liu Kuang is a star warlock who has the ability to apply it into practice.

However, Cheng Jinzhou's polite refusal had no effect. For people like Warlock Liu Kuangxing, when he decides what to do, some environmental influences and slight dangers are nothing at all.

With his noble status, Warlock Liu Kuangxing still had no hesitation and came to Cheng Jinzhou's residence in person.

A double row of cavalry cleared the way, and the star warlocks guarded him at high altitude. The knights accompanied him on both sides. Twenty-four people carried the nanmu-carved sedan as steady as a mountain. He actually had no intention of hiding at all.

Even before he set out, Cheng Jinzhou had already received news that warlock Liu Kuangxing would come to visit.

For the Star Warlocks who were in the midst of the Cold War, this trip was of great significance.

As a fourth-level star warlock, Liu Kuang uses the experience brought by his longer life to tell people - I can do what officials can do - he is too lazy to deal with worldly affairs when his own interests are not affected. ; When his own interests are affected, he lets the secular world serve him; when his own interests demand it, he is simply an official.

"Open the middle door." Cheng Jinzhou looked at the Star Warlocks in the back room. These gentlemen, now known as the De'an Department, had long been indifferent to the Star Warlock Association.

Even Warlock Jiang Huangxing and others only stood up instead of stepping forward to greet him.

In the world of Star Warlocks with a small number of people, it is really easy to switch offense and defense sometimes.

Meng Dameng Er pushed the heavy door open hard, and the rollers that rarely had a chance to slide made a cry of oppression, which became more and more solemn.

"Mr. Cheng, good morning." Warlock Liu Kuangxing stepped out of the large nanmu sedan and said solemnly.

Compared to flying in person, using nanmu sedans and other means of transportation is more official.

Standing in his room, breathing the last warm and comfortable fresh air before noon, Cheng Jinzhou reluctantly opened his eyes, hung the koala wrapped around his neck on his belt, and smiled. Said: "Didn't Warlock Liu Kuangxing and Warlock Xiang Xinxing come together?"

Liu Kuang smiled and said, "Xiang Xin is organizing the students in the Star Tower."

"organize?"

Liu Kuang nodded and said more seriously: "In view of the increasingly difficult research work, the Star Warlock Association has decided to form two new teams. Many high-level Star Warlocks will participate in them to solve some major problems. I hope Mr. Cheng can give you some advice. "

In just over a year, Cheng Jinzhou went from an ignorant boy to a person that the Star Warlock Association hopes to help.

Classmate Xiao Cheng smiled humbly, pushed the koala's flailing paws away, and declined: "Mr. Liu is too modest, I am still young..."

"Helping to establish the Star Warlock team is a new attempt and important help for the Star Warlock Association." Liu Kuang paused, looked at his face and said: "After the team is established, it will go to Xingzhou for further training. , the Star Warlock Association will also be grateful for your contribution."

At his position, any gratitude is not unfounded, and going to Xingzhou to study is indeed a moderate temptation.

The three star warlocks are all qualified to go to Xingzhou, but when they go and what they do are different. The local association of Star Warlocks does have a lot of power to make suggestions on this.

However, the same sweet honey, which is an attractive delicacy in front of black bears, becomes an annoying sticky substance in front of tigers. Cheng Jinzhou refused neatly and said: "I have no plans to go to Xingzhou yet."

He would be interested in participating in the Star Alliance gathering in more than a month.

He no longer wanted to waste a lot of energy on the game between the Star Warlocks. After all, the voyage to Xingzhou is long and full of twists and turns.

"So what's the Star Warlock's contribution?" Liu Kuang smiled, filled with emotion, but his tone didn't change much.

"Contribution point?"

"If you make a contribution to the association, of course the association can give you Star Warlock contribution points. But..." Liu Kuang trailed off for a second and then said: "The association rarely approves the donation of contribution points. This is rare. Case."

The koala scratched Cheng Jinzhou twice with its paws, hinting that he agreed.

The currency issued by the newly established commercial bank, which he considered to be the central bank, was equivalent to two types of debt mortgages. One was the government's credibility, as well as real gold and silver precious metals, and flying tickets in various vassal treasury; Debt is a contribution point.

The stability of the Star Warlock Association makes Star Warlock contribution points have the value of world currency, but due to the difficulty of circulation and circulation, it is actually equivalent to an international settlement currency.

For Cheng Jinzhou now, it is impossible to master the association contribution points, but the benefits of having more association contribution points are obvious. Since the total amount of agricultural society is very small, tens of thousands of contribution points will absolutely change the economy.

Cheng Jinzhou was deeply skeptical about how much contribution the Great Xia Star Warlock Association could make.

He thought for a moment and said: "Will the association's contribution points be the initial contribution points?"

"There can only be a small amount of initial contribution points." Liu Kuang knew that Cheng Jinzhou was a money addict, so he just regarded him as a young man trapped in the secular world and didn't think much about it.

"To be honest, I am not far away from reaching the level of a four-star warlock, so apart from research work, I have no intention of developing in other directions." Cheng Jinzhou said righteously.

Liu Kuang smiled bitterly, greeted Jiang Huang from a distance, and then said: "Mr. Cheng, don't rush to conclusions yet. How about meeting the team organized by our association first?"

Jiang Huang walked up slowly and smiled when he heard his words: "Aren't you afraid that he will eat your team?"

"Haha." Liu Kuang covered it up with laughter.

The so-called De'an team is famous throughout Daxia - no matter what kind of person enters, the label after coming out has the word "Cheng" on it. Just like the human stomach, its digestive capacity is amazing.

It is inevitable for Liu Kuang to be worried. The problem is that in today's star warlock world, especially in Daxia, calculus, geometry and optics have become popular research directions, with more than 80% of the monthly contribution points based on this. Born for the foundation, the De'an Department plays an increasingly important role. Seeing that the Star Warlocks who joined the team were getting better and better and earning more and more, it became increasingly difficult for the gentlemen who were also Star Warlocks to sit still.

There is no benefit, and the self-centered Star Warlocks will not listen to the association.

Liu Kuang knew this very well, so when he saw his apprentice Xiang Xin, he began to consult Cheng Jinzhou about the problem. After it was effective, he had to change his strategy.

From the perspective of political philosophy, pulling Cheng Jinzhou from the other side of the center line between the enemy and the friend to the friendly side is naturally the best choice.

Perhaps, the only hidden worry is that the association team that has been built so hard is being pulled away.

Cheng Jinzhou pondered.

"Invite the star warlocks to come over." Liu Kuang immediately ordered back.

Regardless of whether it is a high-level or low-level star warlock, once someone walks through the door, it is very difficult to stop them.

Bishop Kant, on the other hand, woke up from his state of indifference, swung his slippers and butterfly bell-bottoms, and walked over slowly.

The church and the association, that was a story countless years ago.
