Duke of Grief

Chapter 139: ‘Silk Road’

   "Is this... silk?"

   No matter how it feels or looks, it looks like ‘silk’, or it should be said that it is silk!

   Even Bishop Pelonandi faced this, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed, "So many?!"

   Bishop Pelonandi was very surprised. How could the rest of the clergy continue to calm down?

   They all stunned and let go of the hand holding the weapon. Cervantes smiled twice: "How is it? Powerful? But do you know that these'silk's are just a bunch of'silk'?"

"I don't know if you have observed that some insects will pupate. When the moth is turned, the pupae will stay. Now the'mulberry silkworm' that we breed here will also turn into a silkworm moth. When the silkworm grows to'cooked' Silkworm', that is, the appearance of the big fat worms, it takes two days and two nights for the fifth instar larvae to form a cocoon, and the silkworm that makes the cocoon is drawn out, hey, you know how long it is Can it be almost two thousand feet long!"

"what?!"

   The clergy were shocked again. They did not know that such a small bug could spit out such a long... "silk"?

Cervantes shut up and did not go on. After all, the "silk" has a source of wealth in the Principality of the Winds. He said that the purpose is to let them know that enough silk can be produced here, although they It is not known how much silk is needed to make a piece of silk.

"However, at least for now, the cost of making silk is still quite high, whether it is mulberry or silkworm, it is difficult to breed, although it is much cheaper than the black skin elves from the dark areas, but if you really want to sell If the price is not low, Cervantes sighed, which is really regrettable.

As a giant dragon that loves treasure, Cervantes naturally hopes to make more money, not to mention that there is not much money in the treasury of the Principality of Sad Wind, but that is only a superficial phenomenon, because money is invested in production and development. In the middle, only increase productivity and allow the territory to develop continuously, so that you can make more money with money.

   He is not as stingy as other dragons. Although he is also very greedy, he knows that unless it is robbery... No, even robbery will have to pay ‘costs’.

  If you want to lie at home and make money, you can only do business. As long as the business grows bigger, then ten gold coins per second are possible.

  Sera’s task for herself is to entice them to raise their desire to shop as much as possible, and to explain the ‘more expensive’ price of silk.

   Thinking of this, Cervantes asked the weaver: "Can I take a piece of silk?"

  The textile worker was a little nervous. After being asked so politely by Cervantes, she nodded immediately, "You are the Grand Duke, and this is also your property. You can take as much as you want."

   However, something unexpected happened to everyone.

   Black Dragon frowned and said coldly, "You shouldn't say that!"

  The clergy were stunned, and the weaver suddenly grabbed his apron, his face pale, and his body became extremely stiff.

   "This is the result of your labor. You can get some remuneration for every piece of silk weave. This is the rule we set at the beginning. If we can't follow these rules ourselves, who will follow them?"

After speaking, Cervantes' brows were relaxed, and he said gently: "I am not blaming you, but I hope everyone can consciously follow the rules set by me and Serra. For this, I need to lead by example. . Then, I ask again, can I take a piece of silk?"

   "When, of course... Your Excellency!"

   hands squeezed the apron tightly, the weaver said with a sob, but there was no sadness on her face.

  Heilong grinned and added: "Hi! Of course, that... I will pay!"

   "Pooh..."

   Suddenly there was a laugh from the priesthood. The face of Cervantes seemed to know that he was struggling with his heart. Anyone who looked at it would want to laugh.

   "Who smiles?"

   Angrily angry Cervantes turned his head, "Stand up to me!"

   The black dragon's grin and grumpy appearance made the weavers laugh, but she covered her mouth in panic.

   swept the young priests fiercely for a few moments, and saw that they all had scalp numbness before the black dragon turned his head and snorted coldly: "Forget it, I am too lazy to care about this with you!"

   Cervantes glanced at the panicked weaver, smiled gently, picked up the piece of silk, and handed it to Bishop Pelonandi.

   "His Grand Duke, you are..."

Bishop Pelonandi was a bit "stunned" and a little suspicious, because he knew that this black dragon was not as stupid as it seemed on the surface. Most black dragons were insidious and cunning, and this black dragon was no exception.

   "I gave it to you, but I beg you to accept it!"

Cervantes pointed to the silk in his hand and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to open the market of the Ogden Empire. It's a big market, except for the dark areas, only us There are silks here, and there are only a few of the richer countries on the mainland. The Kurkut Empire probably won’t be too interested in this kind of thing. We have a sales channel on the side of the Moore Commercial Federation. The silk is for you, I just hope you can help us open the market of the Ogden Empire."

   "This thing is not unpaid, this is just a transaction, so if you agree, I can now give you a set of movable type templates, as long as you have the template, you can directly make other movable type after you return!"

  Bironandi originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing the sentence behind Cervantes, he took a breath.

   It may not be worth much if it is just "movable type blocks". After all, movable type printing has been sold to the Knowledge Church, but a set of movable type templates is extremely precious.

   As long as they can take that set of templates back, they will be able to print books using printing in a few days, and with the introduction of new papermaking techniques, they will be able to produce books in a self-sufficient way.

When these costs are reduced, the cost of acquiring knowledge will also be reduced, just as the Principality of the Winds and Winds has put the Criminal Law in the bookstore and sold it, they can also make more textbooks for missions, let alone once. Talking about building church schools has allowed children to receive education about the belief in the **** of brilliance from an early age.

   is just to open the market of the Ogden Empire, and it will not harm any interests of the church. This transaction can be a win-win situation.

"of course can!"

   Bishop Pelonandi solemnly took the silk in Cervantes' hands, as if he was looking at something'sacred'.

   "This is a gift given to the church by the Principality of the Winds and Winds, just like the ‘li etiquette is light’ sentiment learned before. Although this piece of silk is light, the friendship contained in it is heavier than a mountain.”

  Cervantes is weird and wants to remind him that this sentence does not mean that, UU reading www.uukanshu. com but thought about it...forget it! Anyway, it's quite interesting!

Thinking of this, Cervantes took out the only gold coin in his pocket with heartache, pretended to throw the gold coin to the weaver, and then took the priests out without looking back .

Hearing the light laughter from behind, Cervantes whispered to Bishop Pelonandi: "The people who can come here are almost unable to survive... Some of them are disabled soldiers, and some are the widows of soldiers. They can’t live their entire lives on pensions alone. They will either have a hard life, be poor all their lives, or die on their own. This situation is not very rare, but is common in this world."

"Sera hopes to establish an order here, so I won’t break it easily. If even my lord can’t abide by the rules I set, then no one will respect this rule, and no one will. To consciously comply. Strong pressure will not bring good results. The civilians are like springs. The harder the pressure, the greater the rebound force."

"Those nobles waged wars at will for their own selfish desires. Those soldiers were killed or disabled. They just gave some perfunctory pension, and then they ignored it. I can't understand, Serra also hates this behavior...so here Only people who are forced to survive can get a job here."

Cervantes looked back, the gate standing at the mouth of the valley had just been closed, and then he said casually: "I hope the bishop you can bring back the Penal Code I gave you, and take it back to Lolandal, this It’s not a deal, it’s just a small expectation."

   After a pause, Black Dragon chuckled: "Sera, she really doesn't like the world now..."
