Lord of the North

After a while, Gareth brought Jason to the casino. From the outside, it looked like a smaller castle, but of course it couldn't compare with the castle in terms of architectural requirements.

They only look similar on the outside, but inside is an empty hall with a second floor above it, which is specially prepared for those nobles and big businessmen.

"It's really worth the money."

Jason looked at the exquisitely decorated interior of the casino with a look of admiration. The construction team Violet hired was indeed reliable. The tens of thousands of gold coins poured into it did indeed look as expected, and even exceeded Jason's expectations.

Especially the relief above, the content is that the gods gather in the garden, and the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsman makes it look very spectacular.

Legend has it that the gods live on the infinite mountain, where there is a huge garden.

They would go there to hold parties when they had nothing to do on weekdays. They drank fine wine, tasted delicious food, and had a carnival.

"I think our future guests will love it."

He touched the polished and smooth wooden entertainment facilities and said with satisfaction.

"Yes, my lord, I hope this place can bring us great benefits." Gareth spoke with a smile.

"Pray for our future and praise for our efforts."

………………

A few nights later in the city of Lucca, Violet turned on the lamp in her study to process the latest accounts. The faint light was scattered on the yellowed parchment, and then reflected on her delicate face.

"Miss, Butler Bolton, please see me." At this time, a maid called softly outside the door. Bolton is the real name of the old butler. It is impossible for him to be by Violet's side all the time, so at this time, a maid needs to go in and ask. It's inconvenient for her.

"Well, let him come in." Violet tightened the coat on her body, put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her head, and replied softly.

I don't know what the old butler is looking for at such a late hour. If there is no important matter, he won't bother me at this time.

"Miss." After a while, the old butler came in, first saluted Violet, and then glanced at the pen and paper on the table.

"Miss, you should pay more attention to rest, your body will not be able to hold on if this continues." He said worriedly, there are too many things recently, everything needs to be done by Violet herself.

"It's okay, I'm still young and my body can hold on." Violet forced a smile, her face was full of exhaustion, there were too many things recently, and judging from the recent news from the family, she This side needs to speed up the pace, otherwise the Kyle family will suffer the greatest impact and loss in a century.

"Let's not talk about that, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late?" She collected her thoughts and asked with a smile.

"Someone from Tie Ya Ling delivered a letter." The old housekeeper sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to make her happy about it.

"It's a letter from Marquis Jason," he added at last.

"Yeah?"

A gleam of happiness flashed in Violet's eyes, but nothing could be seen on her expression.

"Yes."

The old butler took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Violet. Looking at her pretty face, which was about to hold back the smile, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, hoping that the lady would not lose her head because of it.

"Miss, I'm leaving first."

"Well, you walk slowly on the road."

Immediately after the old housekeeper left, Violet couldn't help picking up the letter on the table, which said "From the beautiful Miss Violet".

This brat actually still remembered to write a letter to himself, thinking he had already forgotten Miss Ben!

Looking at the handwriting with great improvement on it, Violet secretly swore in her heart that if this guy didn't apologize properly in the letter, she would decide not to take the initiative to find him next time she went to Iron Fangling.

Quickly opened the envelope, Violet pursed her lips and began to read. She couldn't help showing a smile from time to time while reading the letter. It seems that Jason's EQ is not low enough to recharge, and he also knows that girls need to be coaxed. This truth.

"It's really disgusting." Violet bit her lip after reading, muttering in an unhappy tone, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still revealed her mood.

In the letter, Jason first talked about his recent situation, then expressed his miss for Violet and his concern for her, and finally mentioned the casino issue, and then invited her to come to Seoul in half a month. Biya meet.

Of course, it would be even better if a few invitations could be sent in her name to invite some big businessmen from Lucca City to attend the banquet.

"I know that you, a stinky bastard, must have no good intentions in writing to me."

Violet frowned cutely, a little emotional, but still took out some letter paper from under the table, and then slowly wrote on it after thinking about it for a while, with a smile still on the corner of her mouth.

………………

"My lord, can we really use these sawdust to make things for us to write?" Gareth looked at Jason and asked suspiciously, and Lang Nat next to him looked at Jason like him.

"That's right, boil these wood chips and pound them into a powder. Finally, take them out and spread them on this mat, flatten them and dry them. It should be almost done."

Jason looked at the boiling cauldron and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, after all, although papermaking sounds simple, it is not easy to practice.

It is still difficult to make smooth, strong, and not easy to break paper. This requires Jason's craftsmen to perfect it. Jason only needs to tell the general process and ideas.

"However, if we want to make paper that is really suitable for writing, we still need to continue to explore." The parchment that is commonly used today is actually cut out of the skin of a kind of sheep called Lolo, and the cost is too high.

As for why Jason suddenly wanted to make blank paper, it was because he wrote a letter to Willie a few days ago. He had a lot to write, and it would be wasteful and troublesome to write on that kind of parchment, so he suddenly thought of One of the four great inventions of the previous world, papermaking.

This is a good thing. If it can be produced, it will not only save a lot of expenses. After all, the price of sheepskin scrolls is not low. If you can find out how to make it and mass-produce it, you can also bring a lot of money to the territory. income.

"..."

Although he wanted to believe Jason, Gareth didn't think that the mushy stuff in the pot could be used to make something for people to write on, let alone a substitute for parchment.

"One day you will believe me." Jason didn't explain to them carefully, but shrugged at them.

It is impossible for me to make it successfully at one time. The next step is to tell a few trusted craftsmen about this technology, let them help explore and improve, and finally show the finished product to open the eyes of these two guys.

But after this incident, Jason felt that he seemed to have forgotten a lot of things. In his previous life, it seemed that many simple and practical things could be made to improve his territorial income!
