In the editorial department, after the editor-in-chief read the manuscript written by Zhang Cheng, he couldn't help but cursed: "Isn't what you wrote is nonsense? Everyone knows that the most basic principle of this society is that the king's son becomes the king.

The son of a baron became a baron, the son of a knight became a knight, the son of a blacksmith became a blacksmith, the son of a carpenter became a carpenter, and the son of a farmer became a farmer.

How can a farmer's son eventually become an officer and finally become a generalissimo? Even if he was a soldier in the royal guard and knew the queen's secret and made some achievements, he would definitely be given a glass of poisonous wine in the end.

Keep secrets forever! Have you ever heard that only the dead can keep secrets?"

Zhang Cheng thought to himself, I have heard that the dead can talk.

After arriving here, the house Zhang Cheng rented was a large house used by businessmen. The main building had two floors, thirty rooms and two halls, which could hold dances and dinner parties respectively. There were also stores and inventory that could be opened on the street.

Warehouses, as well as stables, gardens, wells and other facilities.

Naturally, such a house is not cheap. The weekly rent is seven gold coins, and the furniture deposit is two gold coins, which is equivalent to 378 gold coins for fifty-four weeks a year.

The annual income of ordinary citizens here is about thirty gold coins - this refers to workers with certain skills. The income of high-level workers is doubled.

Of course, the rich must be the church, the nobility and the royal family.

In order to rent a house, Zhang Chengcheng's bag was empty, and the animal skins in the storage bag were limited for the foundation period. He could not sell them all the time. In order to make a living, and considering that the customs here are closer to France, Zhang Chengcheng wrote a book "The Three Musketeers" overnight.

, I took the manuscript and prepared it for publication the next day, and got some royalties to support it first.

As a result, the editor-in-chief immediately killed "The Three Musketeers" after reading the manuscript. His comment was: Ridiculous.

At the publishing house, Zhang Cheng looked at the novels being printed and discovered Qing Yishui's knight novel.

The content is roughly similar. For example, a prince (or the son of a nobleman) went out and experienced countless risks, and finally defeated the devil, captured the devil's treasure, married the princess, and finally lived a happy life.

It's right to think about it, if you don't have a status above ten thousand people, a wealth that rivals the country's, and a wife who is as beautiful as a flower and comes from a noble family and well-bred, how can you be happy?

It's a pity that fiction requires rationality, but reality does not. Those kings and nobles were originally born with mud-legged backgrounds. However, after class solidification, they are definitely the most supportive of class solidification, and they are not even willing to leave room for YY.

Zhang Cheng lamented that meat eaters are despicable and left the publishing house.

The pressure of life is still real. After leaving the publishing house, Zhang Cheng used an invisibility technique, then took off and flew out of the city at high speed. Under Zhang Cheng's Immortal Eye Technique, he could see every detail on the ground.

Since I can't publish a book, I have to go back to my old job, which is to make money through mining.

There are two kinds of mines in the world that are almost equivalent to money printing factories after being dug out. One is a gold mine, and the other is a gem mine. In history, mankind has lost countless people and lost a lot of blood in the fight for gold and gem mines.

The geological origin here is no different from what Zhang Cheng had seen in his previous life. Every detail entered Zhang Cheng's mind. After rapid calculations, Zhang Cheng landed by a stream. Looking at the mountains and terrain here, Zhang Cheng judged the nearby area.

There is a gem mine - the highlight is that I saw a natural ruby ​​in the stream from the sky.

After landing, Zhang Cheng condensed all his magic power into a huge hand measuring several thousand feet in size. He grabbed and threw it on the ground, and a large amount of sand, gravel and soil were mixed and thrown into the sky.

This move is the prototype of the Dharma Appearance Heaven and Earth. Zhang Cheng at the Golden Elixir stage can only turn part of his body into the Dharma Appearance Heaven and Earth, and the Dharma Appearance transformed into the body with the cultivation level at the Golden Elixir stage is not condensed, so it is only suitable for torture.

The gems that fell along with the sand and gravel were attracted by the magic power in Zhang Cheng's hands, and finally concentrated in Zhang Cheng's hands. In just two simple steps, hundreds of rubies were obtained.

After using his giant hands to grab more than 1,800 rubies of various grades, Zhang Chengcai became invisible and flew home.

After returning home, Zhang Cheng drew lots in the presence of all his wives, and Liu Yundai was chosen to accompany Zhang Cheng out. Liu Yundai shook off her cassock and replaced it with a long skirt and hat in the style of a local lady.

With his arms stretched out in a tuxedo and hat, he went out and hailed a taxi outside the door.

It seems that people here also know that the streets are muddy. Nobles and wealthy people go out in carriages. There are also a lot of rental carriages on the street. The smell of perfume on the carriages washes away the stench of yellow and white things on the street.

.

It seems that not only servants, but also carriages are one of the necessary conditions for living here. Otherwise, Zhang Cheng would simply not be able to breathe outside.

Hey, why do I know the phrase "can't breathe" so well?

The coachman asked: "Sir, madam, where are you going?"

“The biggest jewelry store here!”

"Okay." The carriage started slowly.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a three-story, three-door jewelry store. After getting off the car, Zhang Cheng looked at the name, Tia Jewelry.

I gave the coachman two silver coins and asked him to leave. This place is close to the aristocratic area, and access is expensive if not rich. There are more carriages for hire.

After Liu Yundai and Zhang Cheng got off the car, they entered the store under the guidance of the clerk. After learning about the price, Zhang Chengcai explained his purpose: "I have a batch of rubies for sale."

Clerk: "I'm going to ask the manager to come over for this matter. Wait a moment."

After a while, a professional man in his forties with a gold chain monoglass appeared: "I am Hansen, the manager of Tia Jewelry. I heard that sir has a batch of rubies for sale? I am a jewelry appraiser here.

I’m also a pricer. Can I take a look at the goods first?”

"Of course." He took out a small bag from his pocket and poured it on the counter. Sixteen rubies that were as small as half the size of his little finger and as large as the size of his thumb were shining brightly under the kerosene lamp that illuminated the room.

The rubies were arranged in a row according to size. Manager Hansen used the light of a kerosene lamp to look carefully at the smallest ruby. After looking at each ruby, he would give a quote: "Seven gold coins, seven gold coins and fifteen

Silver, eleven gold coins and three silver pieces...the last piece, ninety gold coins."

"If we sell them all in this store..." Hansen looked at the clerk who recorded the records and gave the figure: "A total of three hundred and seven gold coins and fifteen silver coins. Sir, this should be the highest purchase price."

"This is an acceptable price." After asking about the price just now, Zhang Cheng already knew that after these rubies are polished and set in gold and silver jewelry, the price can rise to five or six times the current price of raw gemstones.
Chapter completed!
