Cheng Jinzhou used all the food stored in the warehouse that day.

The more than 200 taels of silver I had saved were cleared out at this point. Although the courtyard was quiet, it could not store too much food. Seeing that the copying accountants were tired, Cheng Jinzhou finally shook his finger and let them all go out.

"Go and buy some more grain." Cheng Jinzhou took out two ingots of silver and threw it to Shiyan.

The latter did not dare to ask where the food was gone. The family had always had a tradition of storing grain, fodder and weapons in peacetime. Even if the underground of the other courtyard was hollowed out, he did not find it strange at all. As for asking the accountant to write some strange words, or covering people's eyes or compiling verses to treasure maps, Shi Yan was not willing to think about it at all.

Cheng Jinzhou bowed his head and began to sort out the pages. Although there were marked on the corners, since seven people copied them separately, the contents of each paragraph and sentence were easy to find and not easy to be linked together, which was almost impossible to complete. Fortunately, Cheng Jinzhou was still good at mathematics and could still use English without restrictions, mixed with Cantonese annotations. Now, after comparing, he finally put a bunch of books together.

Seeing the messy tearing the books on the paper back on it, Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had originally fantasized about when he needed them and could take out these books to find them at any time, but judging from his current situation, if he wanted to use them in a few decades, the paper would be rotten.

"The gap in technology." Cheng Jinzhou sighed, gathered in the sunset, and used his poor needlework to pin several books together. While poking the paper, he said to himself to the ring face that was no longer misty: "23 books, you gave me 5 novels. This is good. I just treat it as a leisure time. What is the rest? Apart from this book that grinds rice, it is either foreign language or nonsense."

He was actually quite satisfied with what he said to himself. At least he added more than 20 Star Covenant points, and the books he got were not bad. Although he had to pay 50% more to translate foreign books, it was always several times better than the so-called Star Domain additional charges.

What's more, he got a copy of the technical book about rice milling - "Kinetic Analysis and Dynamic Balance Technology of the Spindle Parts of Rice Miller". If this was an era of internal combustion engines, with such a little content, he would immediately become a big grain merchant in Shaonan.

The ring face was not activated, so naturally no one answered. Cheng Jinzhou was in a good mood and put the books in a copper box in a good manner, and hummed a song unconsciously on his mouth.

It was a great encouragement for Cheng Jinzhou to find that the administrator of Star Covenant Library still had to strictly abide by the rules. Although the other party would not be at his mercy, it would be enough to be able to form under the same rules.

Cheng Jinzhou walked out of the room with a shaking head. Shi Yan was standing outside with a bitter face, with a dusty body on his body, as if he had been rushing a lot of roads.

"San Ge'er, the bald man in Hongrizhuang's government office, said that we had too much grain and refused to sell it. The grain shop in the city also said that someone would investigate recently and that there must be an official seal from the yamen before we can give us the grain." Without Cheng Jinzhou's request, Shi Yan filed a complaint first.

Dr. Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can register it for them."

"It's Guanya." Shi Yan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Cheng Jinzhou. It was not too late. When the grain shop was still open, it was only five or six o'clock at most, but it was just that government civil servants got off work earlier.

"The yamen is not opened by our family, so it is normal for the yamen to be kept." When Cheng Jinzhou said this, he felt a little strange. The boss of Shaonan Yamen was his cheap father. From top to bottom, the one who could name the name was either Cheng or his wife's surname was Cheng. Even if it was not good, he would have to be related to the main lineage of the Cheng family within three generations...

Shi Yan was also worried that Cheng Jinzhou would be scolded by Cheng Jinzhou, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Then tomorrow?"

"Well..." Cheng Jinzhou dragged his voice and thought about it: "Has we bought a lot of food recently, they are a little scared?"

Shi Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to move. It was all wrong to say yes or not at this time.

The Daxia Dynasty has always been very close to food. In the past, the amount was small, and everyone did not strictly abide by the rules for the sake of the Cheng family. It was fine to report afterwards or even report the next day. However, he wanted to use more and more grain, and grain stores including the Huo family were a little afraid.

Rebellion has not happened for many years, but even if it is a crime of hoarding, it is related to major issues such as food and fodder. The Cheng family can easily escape, and other families dare not act rashly.

The bankers of Hongri Village use the method of stealing and selling half-selling. It’s okay to have less money, but it’s a bit difficult to trade more than 100 taels of silver.

Thinking about this, every family has reasons not to sell grain, but in the future, there will be more and more places to use grain.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his eyebrows, thought of the book in his hand, and sighed: "We still need to build some institutions to digest food, Shiyan."

"At this." Shi Yan took the opportunity to move his rigid body quickly.

"Which one of my family's farms has a rice mill?"

"It should be all." Shi Yan whispered: "There may be more big Zhuangzi."

Cheng Jinzhou secretly scolded himself for being stupid. This is not a future world of division of labor and cooperation. He patted his head: "How many people use hydraulic power?"

"The Hongrizhuang uses river water..."

"What's better? I'm too lazy to run away from the city." Everyone in Hongri Village stared at him. He was just raising a flag and didn't want it to fall into the eyes of others.

Shi Yan thought about it and said, "Xiaoxizhuang? You can get there at most 10 miles away from the city."

The 5-kilometer horse racing was just around the corner, and Cheng Jinzhou snapped his fingers and said, "You go to Xiaoxizhuang tomorrow and tell the manager there, I will recruit their rice millshop, and then transfer a few workers with excellent skills. I want to make things."

Xiaoxizhuang is the Zhuangzi of Gongzhong, but if Cheng Jinzhou only causes disaster, no one will care.

Shi Yan responded and thought to himself how to tell the butler and the second butler that Cheng Jinzhou had already commanded the man to lift the copper box.

He was not planning to really grind rice. The books he had in his hand were at most to improve the rice mill, but no matter how much production efficiency could be improved, it was difficult to make money in this world.

The accountants walked out along the small door, each holding a string of money, which was almost their five-day salary. Without deducting the salary, this reward was already a lot for the second-class accountants, and half of it could be regarded as a hush fee.

Aristocratic families have a proper degree of reward. When adults, their subordinates usually prepare red envelopes one by one. At most, the master just indicates that they can give more rewards or less. The specific amounts are fixed. Cheng Jinzhou is still young, and his subordinates have not received such training. They are exposed in a string of rewards, but they are secretly joked by servants in the inner house.

Of course, from childhood to adulthood, there have been more people who have been making jokes about the disease. Now it is not easy to find something that can be joked about.
