Chapter 0085 - The Captain Who Recommended Mao Sui
The task is easy to do.
He didn't care how many goods the townspeople bought and sold, he had already decided that the castle would come forward and purchase goods for more than 3 gold coins.
Recently seafood has started to make money, and the East Coast has become a constant line of gold coins for castles.
His purse managed to stop the shriveling and eased slightly, and now he had about 5 gold coins in it.
"Old Grande, I have come to you for something to tell you, tomorrow the caravan from Northy City will come to Flower Town, and I will give you 3 gold coins, be sure to spend all the gold coins, and purchase anything that can be purchased. ”
Old Grande was very keen: "My lord, do you want to use the charm of gold coins to attract caravans to come back next time?"
"Exactly. ”
"Old Grandet understands and will do a good job. ”
"Well, you can go back. ”
"Yes, my lord, I wish you a good night. ”
Old Grandet turned to leave, and at the gate of the castle he saw Buniel, so he greeted: "Buniel, has the lord also looked for you?"
"Oh, no, I made the soap and brought it to the castle. Bunier flipped the bag he was holding, "Is the Lord looking for you for tomorrow's caravan?"
Old Grande said with a little pride, "Of course, I am the leader of the castle caravan, and the lord trusts me. ”
"I really envy you, don't say anything, I have to go in. "Bunier said goodbye to old Grande, and under the guidance of the manservant, entered the castle and came to Liszt.
Salute respectfully and give the soap to the servant.
"The soap is finally made, and I don't have to go to Coral City to buy those soaps that cost a copper plate for two silver coins in the future. Liszt picked up a bar of soap and thought that Bunier's craftsmanship was good, not much worse than the soap he bought in Coral City, "Thank you, Buniel." ”
"It is Buniel's luck to do things for your lordship. ”
"I have one more thing for you. ”
"Your Excellency, please command. ”
"I've heard of a recipe that mixes pig pancreas and plant ash, which is roughly these two materials, to make a soap that cleans more than soap," says Liszt. "Pancreas doesn't sound good, Liszt directly described it as soap, anyway, it's a new thing, and no one grabs the naming rights.
"Is there a better soap than soap horns?Lord Lord, can pig pancreas also be cleaned and stained?"
"That's what happened, but I don't remember exactly how it was mixed. So, I'm now handing over the task of making soap to you, and I hope you'll soon figure out how to make soap that can be used for bathing from pig pancreas and plant ash. I'll reward you a lot when it's made. ”
Bunier hurriedly said: "It is Buniel's luck to do things for the lord, please rest assured, Buniel will make soap as soon as possible." ”
"Well, don't forget to keep making soap, you can't stop soap in the castle. ”
"Rest assured, my lord. ”
......
The reward for the smoke quest is still very fast.
Early the next morning, Liszt received a report that fishermen in Oyster Tun had found a huge sea monster stranded on the east coast. Sea monsters, deep sea black pearls, Liszt immediately came to his senses and set off for the east coast.
At the beach, he saw a stranded sea monster, accompanied by a fishy smell.
"My lord, do you know this kind of sea monster?" Galtai and the others rushed over early, but they didn't know what kind of stranded sea monster it was.
When Liszt looked closely, the sea monster was some kind of mollusk, very large, at least more than ten meters long. There are tentacles, softly entwined together, and then look at its body, some of which resemble squid, spread on the beach, there are already traces of decay, and it is not clear what it looked like when it was alive.
He casts his Eye of Magic and discovers that there is no flow of magic on the sea monster.
Strictly speaking, it's just some kind of sea animal, not a sea monster.
"Probably a large squid, not a sea monster. Liszt fanned the air in front of his nose, and the smell of the squid after it rotted was very stinky.
"Don't you know if you can eat it?" asked Blair suddenly.
Galtai made a disgusted expression: "I can't stand the smell of this, let alone eat it, I don't think it belongs to seafood, it's a kind of monster! Maybe it's poisonous, and I've even eaten people in the sea." I've heard of a sea monster that wraps around ships, and this squid has 'hands', and it will definitely wrap around ships as well. ”
Regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, or if it has been eaten by people, Liszt will not treat it as seafood.
If you rot it, just throw it away.
But thinking that the black pearl in the deep sea might be related to this large squid, he ordered: "Teacher Galtai, find someone to dissect this large squid and see if it can find something interesting in its body." If there is nothing, chop it up and throw it into the sea, so as not to make a stench. ”
Galtai began to organize fishermen to come and dissect large squid.
Liszt rode his horse to the stranded sailboat on the beach not far away, which had been repaired by carpenters with a few holes. When the tide is low, move it into the sea, and when the sea is high, you can basically reconvene in the sea...... It's just that there are captains who can take the helm, but there are no qualified sailors.
"Greetings, my lord, Costo. ”
While Liszt was admiring the sailboat, his knights Philip and Xavier stopped a fisherman. The fisherman hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Costo?
Liszt remembered the name, and he turned his horse's head and said to Thomas, who was following behind him, "Let him come." ”
Costor was a tall middle-aged man with a dark face with the vicissitudes of wind and sun: "My lord, Greetings to Costo. ”
"You've said it before. Liszt looked at him, "Stand up and speak, if I'm not mistaken, you're the captain of this ship?"
"The lord still remembers Costo, and Costo is deeply honored. Costor stood up and said respectfully, "I used to work for Lord Papa the Younger, as captain of the Flying, a three-masted galleon that could reach speeds of three knots downwind. This sailboat, which is better than the Flying Flight, can reach speeds of up to 5 knots downwind. ”
The knot indicates the speed of the ship, and Liszt is not quite sure how fast a knot is.
But he knew that the fastest one in the Tulip fleet could reach speeds of 7 knots. It is said that the fast sailing ships of the palace fleet could reach speeds of up to 10 knots.
Costor raised his head and looked at the sailboat, with inexplicable emotion in his eyes: "Lord Lord, don't you want it to return to the sea?"
"You want to get back on the boat?" said Liszt, looking at Costo with interest, who was obviously trying to introduce himself, "but there is not a sailor in Flower Town. ”
"I was originally a sailor, I traveled on the sea all year round, and I knew how to train qualified sailors. If the lord trusts me, he only needs to give me twenty people, and within three months I can train them to be qualified offshore crews, and within a year, they should be able to sail the far seas!"
Liszt looked at him: "There is no suitable harbor in Flower Town, how can we train the crew?"
"Yes, my lord, there is a place in Flower Town, which is very suitable for building a harbor! The terrain is flat and the water level is very deep, and it can moor ships below medium size!"
