Working Prophet

The plant Li Yu saw in the garden was the acacia tree, which belonged to an old friend of the Chinese people in another plane.

It can be cooked, eaten and used as medicine. These are all included. The most useful thing about honey locust is that it can be used to replace soap to a certain extent.

Used as a detergent, it costs less than pig pancreas.

It just so happened that the bathhouse of the Shuangxiu Church was about to open, and Li Yu planned to introduce the Roman bathing culture to the continent of Bratis, so as to improve the personal health problems of the local aborigines.

However, just dry rubbing is not suitable. It is a godsend to encounter acacia at this time, and this kind of thing can not only be used to wash people, but also can be used to wash clothes, which is less harmful to clothes than plant ash.

Li Yu plans to plant it in a large area in Green Field as soon as he gets the seeds.

This was also thanks to the caravan from the east being killed early in the morning. Otherwise, if Theodosius knew that his iron thorns had this effect, Li Yu would probably not be able to get the seeds so easily.

After finalizing the matter of the honey locust, Li Yu went to visit Teemo. After the latter won the runner-up in the first Green Field Open Wheat Missionary Activity, he studied for a period of time in Shuangxiujiao's territory.

After that, he returned to Black Rock City and organized several low-key missionary activities in the city.

The audience is mostly female. After all, Teemo's greatest weapon is his appearance.

It can be regarded as a new approach and a new way of preaching. However, this way of preaching cannot be replicated and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

It can only exist as a secret society.

But this time, Li Yu wasn't here to learn about Teemo's work progress. What he wanted to see was Teemo's mother, Safuri.

The latter is an elf with a rare beauty even among elves. He is obviously fifty-seven years old, but his cheeks are still as soft as a baby, and there is a lazy style in every move.

It is not difficult to see from her where Teemo's beauty comes from.

"Welcome." Safuli poured wine for Li Yu, "During this period, my son has been taken care of by you."

"To be honest, I'm a little surprised that you agreed to Teemo joining the Shuangxiu Cult, because as far as I know, most elves believe in the forest and the mother goddess of life." Li Yu took the wine glass.

Safuri sighed, "That's true, but I have violated the traditions of the elves and married a pagan. The father of this child believes in Fengel, the god of storms and ice. I made an agreement with his father , let Teemo choose his own beliefs in the future.

“I just didn’t expect that he neither chose the God of Storms and Ice and Snow, nor believed in the Goddess of Forest and Life, but chose the Saturday behind you. But since this is the agreement between my late husband and I, there is no reason to change it.

"Besides, neither the God of Storms and Ice nor the Mother Goddess of Forest and Life has responded to us now. Timo can find his target in Saturday. As a mother, I am also happy for him."

"I heard that you had previously formed a caravan to travel across the continent of Bratis."

Hearing this, Safuli took a deep look at Li Yu and said with a faint smile, "Yes, but I have made enough money. I will disband the caravan and settle down in Black Rock City to concentrate on raising this son."

Teemo on the side couldn't help but said, "Mother, if Saturday calls you, you shouldn't reject it so quickly. You should at least listen to what the prophet Merlin said first."

Safuri raised her eyebrows, "You have only been a knight for a long time, and you are already eager to go against me?"

After speaking, she said to Li Yu, "Everyone says that there are many talented people in Shuangxiu Temple. Why would you want to come to me, the president of a little-known caravan?"

"Forgive me for asking someone to conduct some investigations on you. The Ice and Snow String Chamber of Commerce is not a little-known little caravan, especially in the south. You and your caravan are very famous. Now I need your trading experience. "

After hearing what Li Yu said, Safuri did not deny it anymore, but said, "That was two or three years ago. If my man hadn't passed away suddenly, I wouldn't have shown my face outside.

"Especially with my beauty, it is not easy to deal with those nobles. I have made up my mind to leave."

Li Yu knew that Safuri had lied and that she was living in seclusion in Black Rock City. It had only been more than a year before her hands started to itch again.

Although no more caravans have been formed, they have secretly begun to look for suitable stores.

Li Yu stopped beating around the bush and said decisively, "I plan to launch several new businesses and am looking for partners. You don't need to leave Black Rock City. I don't know if there is any interest."

"What business?" Safuri asked.

"Linen and paper."

This answer made Safuri a little disappointed, "The price of linen in Blackstone City is not high, and the profit is also limited. As far as I know, Shuangxue is very expensive now. If we can't develop a large-scale new source of income, , I will soon be unable to make ends meet.”

At this point, Safuri finally stopped hiding and spoke openly.

The reason why she doesn't want to cooperate with Shuangxiujiao is purely from the perspective of profit. In Safuri's view, today's Shuangxiujiao is a big fire pit. It can't be sustained under the heretical offensive of Li Yu spending money to preach. how long.

“I have a lot of linen on hand and it’s cheap enough that production costs only one-third of what it used to be.”

"So cheap?" Safuri was stunned.

The production process of linen is completely transparent on the Bratis continent. Almost all women in the countryside or cities weave it by hand in their spare time and then sell it to linen merchants.

If it's too expensive, the linen merchants won't accept it. If it's too cheap, they might as well keep it for their own use. Therefore, the price has been very stable, just making hard money.

But it is undeniable that no matter where you are, linen has always been in demand, and there is no need to worry about sales. If someone can really reduce the production cost of linen, then he can have money delivered to his doorstep as long as he lies down.

This was not the only news that shocked Safuri. Li Yu then introduced the paper to her. The first batch of white paper for the two-day holiday had been produced, and the thickness was slightly over the standard, but this also made these papers It looks quite sturdy and durable.

Compared with fragile papyrus, it will not break even if it is folded repeatedly.

Safuri was moved on the spot, especially after she asked Li Yu about the production cost of these white papers. Safuri had already realized how much impact this thing would have on the current popular paper in the Bratis continent.

Moreover, this thing is quite convenient to transport and can be sold to the royal capital. The nobles there will definitely be flocking to these blank papers.
