Since ancient times, mercury has been regarded as a wonderful thing

In the normal person's mind, gases are the lightest, followed by liquids, and the heaviest are solids. Mercury uses its own flowing body. attacking this theory. Not only does it store in a liquid form at room temperature, but it can also maintain a spherical appearance, even if it is sprinkled on the ground, it will quickly coalesce into a ball. In fact. The astrosorcers who worship the "circle" once used mercury as an example and called it "the servant who follows the star god"

Because of these many peculiarities, mercury appeared frequently and was expensive among the various reals of the early astrosorcerers.

Nowadays, astrology has been developed, and the frequency of the use of mercury by gentlemen has decreased, but the quantity has not decreased, and the price is still expensive.

The large quantities stipulated by Cheng Jinzhou are calculated in tons. This is to adapt to the price of other cheaper metal minerals, who would have thought that it would be activated by mercury.

And his first reaction when he heard the news was: Where did this guy get all the cash?

There are no such financial regulations in this world, and the use of flying tickets is very limited, and it is in the nature of a cashier's check. It is necessary to deposit a sufficient amount of money in advance before the bill can be issued, and the means of redeeming huàn are cumbersome, extremely unpopular with merchants, and are often even denied direct transactions; The use of cash in gold and silver is also terrible. Several tons of mercury are at least three to five hundred kilograms of gold to pay, which is equivalent to thousands of gold disciples, and the amount of hundreds of small yellow croakers is even more dreamy as for the means of payment such as gems and diamonds.

The main reason why diamonds can be used as a circulation method in later generations is that the standardized model of the West will grade diamonds in detail according to five types, so that the detailed price can be found on the table accordingly, which is the key premise for its inclusion in the financial world. And in the world of Great Xia, the complicated process of bartering is definitely not something that can be decided in a few minutes, or even a few hours.

Cheng Jinzhou felt incredible when he thought about it, grabbed the second shopkeeper who came to report the news and asked, "What did you receive?" What did he pay for? ”

He asked in a hurry, which frightened the second shopkeeper.

A small merchant who had ever communicated with the star warlock face-to-face, first trembled and knelt down before he said in a trembling voice: The small one has not been handled, and it seems that the bill is paid with silver taels. ”

"How many taels of silver does that cost?"

"Mouth cart. The cow couldn't even pull it. The second shopkeeper stretched out his thumb and licked his lower lip inadvertently. De'an Port is the largest number of maritime merchants. That ordinary trading house, a transaction is only a few thousand taels of silver, and the sea that has become bigger will not play any trick with the business bank of "handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other".

Cheng Jinzhou was puzzled, and said to himself: "Could it be that he has prepared the silver and is waiting for the transaction?" Then why linger near the Star Warlock Tower. ”

The second shopkeeper thought he was asking himself, and thought for a long time and said, "Are you talking about a star warlock?" ”

Cheng Jinzhou was amused by him, and waved his hand: "You go down first, but don't go far, stay here today and leave tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he called out "Shimo" and ignored him.

In fact, just like the outfield scattered people didn't understand why Cheng Jinzhou could judge the absorption frequency of sound waves, the latter's understanding also took a detour. The silver of the four ox carts does not mean that the Zhao family has to travel thousands of miles to pull the cart. As a high-level star warlock, it would only take a few minutes for a black-robed man to move thousands of kilograms of silver taels from outside the city into the city.

He turned back. Just to find one. place to buy supplies. By the way, doing research, naturally do not hesitate to do the body, and in the minds of normal people, where would the star warlock do this kind of body work, so he is still thinking about where the silver two come from.

The government of a feudal society. The control of the people is strong, and the control of the environment is limited. The outfield scattered people who led Zhao Yeyu didn't think much about it at all, so they lived in the Zhao family's other house, and they hid it a little. The Cheng family still has no way of knowing.

With the ability of the regular army of the imperial court, it is not possible to destroy the thieves in the green forest, so with the inaction of ordinary star warlocks, how dare you expect to search for high-level star warlocks all day long Not only did Cheng Jinzhou not have such thoughts, even Jiang Huang Star Warlock and others never looked forward to using low-level star warlocks to hunt down the myth of high-level star warlocks.

That kind of thing is often heard in legends, if the low-level star warlock is not afraid of death, and the high-level star warlock does not run or escape, then the weak and the strong may be able to do it. However, the reality is that unless there is a clear advantage on the battlefield, the Astral Warlocks will not engage in combat at all, let alone a moth to a flame. For these human elites, who live without a worry-free life and have little sense of statehood, the value of preserving themselves, studying the world, and thinking about life may lie.

De'an's servants poured out of their nests in search of mercury and red letter stones that had been pulled away by ox carts near the docks. But where can they find it? Not every star warlock is as lazy as Cheng Jinzhou. The scattered people in the field worked tirelessly, carrying more than ten tons of ore. Fly to the shelter, this dedication. It's really a matter of letting the astrologists learn from it. It is also the natural enemy of Cheng Jinzhou's children.

With his mindset. Obviously there is a way to catch a car, and you fly around carrying ore, doesn't that make people unemployed?

Over the next few days. Mercury and other related materials rose slightly. The servants and white-skinned men were sweating a little, and the De'an Wharf was still doing entrepot business, quiet as if oil was dripping in the water.

Jiang Huang Star Warlock and Li Xian Feng Star Warlock both disappeared without a trace. Cheng Jinzhou felt a little hairy in his heart, and rode Lu Xuyou around all day long. And the main range of activities. In addition to re-reviewing math with koalas in the Star Warlock Tower, he organized the officials to secretly search all over the place.

Cheng Jinzhou as a mathematician is humble, Cheng Jinzhou as a doctor of theoretical physics is ordinary, but Cheng Jinzhou as an ordinary person is smart. Based on the statements of Jiang Huang and others, he is eighty percent sure that the mysterious outfield scattered people are related to the holy cliff.

Otherwise, with their status, why should they shy away from it, and even say the words "you will solve it yourself".

However, none of these people showed up anymore, and he didn't have a chance to ask even if he wanted to.

At the same time, the war in the Northern Han Dynasty also intensified, and the plan of sending troops promised by Liu Kuangxing Warlock was implemented smoothly, and the imperial army of nearly 80,000 people was sent out in advance, completely cutting off the traffic of the Sweet Water Grassland and cutting off the last way for Han Jing to increase troops.

Cheng Jinzhou's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the past.

For the soldiers of Great Xia, the capture of Hanjing was already on the agenda, and the only obstacle was to form a strategic advantage over the Zhuo Fantasy Sacrifice and the Mokan Star Warlocks. But at the moment of anxiety, Jiang Huangxing Warlock and Li Xianfeng Star Warlock were gone.

Of the five Star Warlocks who had appeared in De'an, one returned to Sin Continent. Two local astral warlocks vanished, remaining on the battlefield. It turned out to be two star warlocks from the Star Continent. The exhibition of the situation is really ridiculous.
