That kind of square brick is not blocked, and it is so generously placed outside.

Hughes knew at a glance how it was made.

It's nothing more than the way pottery is made, replacing the pottery with a solid quadrangular shape.

There's not much technical content to this.

It's all about the adhesive, and that's the key.

It's a pity that the small town of Nisse is very well hidden about the adhesive, and he can't see a clue no matter how he looks around.

Find a way to get your hands on it! Hughes thought to himself, and suddenly heard Old John's voice with a little pride and dissatisfaction.

"Why is there no iron ore for the things that were shipped this time?"

This old fellow, since the wall was built, the tone of his voice has changed! You were polite to me before...... Hehe...... Hughes had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all.

He smiled slightly, and said, "The frost moon is coming, and the city of Patras is being reorganized, and iron ore is being controlled. ”

"Armament rectification...... Hmph......" Old John muttered, but he didn't say much, so he said, "All right." I don't have anything I want, it's all linen! Is it any use for me to ask for so much fabric? ”

After a pause, Old John called for a batch of wooden saws, pointed at them, and said to Hughes, "It's still the old rule, use these treasures to offset part of the payment." A wooden saw, according to one silver coin, there are forty-eight here, then it is forty-eight silver coins, forty-eight silver coins are how many gold coins are Pis? One, two, three, four...... Oh, sixteen gold coins. This time the payment is 39 gold pis, so ......"

"Wait, Master John!" Hughes abruptly interrupted Old John's calculations.

Old John looked at the thin face of the merchant Hughes with displeasure, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master John, this time's wooden saw can't be calculated according to the value of a silver Aiju coin!" Hughes said unhurriedly.

"How much is that?" Hearing this, old John frowned, "Our treasure is a good helper for cutting trees, and the axe is not as good as it, even the carpenter has it, and the speed is much faster." ”

"Yes, yes, Master John, you're right." Xius nodded repeatedly, and after a change of words, he added, "But, Master John, the price of this sawsaw still can't be calculated with the silver coins of Aiju!" ”

"Why?" Old John finally burst into rage and roared.

The sound drew the side glances of the villagers and wild slaves who walked nearby, and Old John glared at him viciously, and the villagers and wild slaves quickly turned their heads.

Old John in anger can't be provoked, can't be provoked!

Hughes still looked calm, and only when Old John's anger calmed down a little did he explain, "Master John, it's not me who lowers the price of your woodsaw!" But now in the city of Patras, the price of the saws bought by other blacksmiths is not as high as a silver Aiju coin! ”

"Other blacksmiths...... The sawsaw ......" Old John paused for a moment, his eyes wide as brass bells, and glared at Hughes.

"Yes!" In an affirmative but soft voice, Hughes said, "Master John, the other blacksmiths! Wood saw! ”

The production of a wooden saw is very simple, it is just a matter of a layer of window paper.

Piercing it, some blacksmiths can easily make it.

The first time Hughes dared to buy from Old John at this price, it was just because he valued its potential and chose to speculate.

As it turned out, he was right about his speculation!

One silver coin is acquired, and two silver coins are sold!

He made a small profit.

But it's a one-shot deal!

There are shrewd merchants in Patras, and they don't look stupid.

He sold his front feet, and his back feet were copied, and now they are a common item in the city of Patras.

Rare things are expensive, he is not scarce, how can he sell at a price?

"They're thieves!" Old John lost his mind for a moment, and then cried out loudly.

Hughes just listened quietly and did not express an opinion.

After waiting for a while, I heard Old John's helpless voice, "They...... How much do you sell? ”

"Two silver francs." Theseus replied.

"Then I'll sell you two silver francs."

"No way!" Hughes shook his head thoughtlessly, "Master John, I've got to make some money. ”

Originally, Old John glared at Hughes angrily, and when he heard his words, he said dejectedly, "Then how much do you have at most?" ”

"A silver franc." Theseus held out a finger.

"Okay." Old John was helpless, but reason told him that this was already the best outcome.

He did the math himself, counted out 36 gold pith coins from his bulging money bag, and handed them to Hughs.

Hughes took it, counted it carefully, and when he was sure that it was correct, he took two more francs and returned them to Old John.

Old John took it with an expressionless face, and without looking at it, he put the two silver francs into his arms, and said, "Since the iron ore is gone, then we will buy grain this time......

"I'm sorry, Master John, but there's no food!" Hughes interrupted Old John, and there was no embarrassment on his face.

"The food is gone...... old John frowned, "what about the linen?" Bring me some more, or something? ”

The Frost Moon is coming, and when the time comes, the entire village of Nisse will be a lonely town, cut off from the outside world.

And I don't know how long such days will last, so the importance of money is on the back, and only various materials can make people feel at ease.

Old John knew this very well, so he changed his previous stinginess.

But old John was disappointed again.

"I'm so sorry, Master John. In fact, this time, it was our last trade, before spring arrived! You know, the Frost Moon is coming, and I have to think about the safety of my employees. Hughes said to old John "sincerely."

In fact, Theseus' choice to stop trading with the village of Nisse was not entirely due to the arrival of the Frostfall Moon, but rather to pressure from some of the big names in the city of Patras.

They did not allow the deal between Theseus and the village of Nisse to continue

If it weren't for the big man behind Hughes and a certain influence in the city of Patras, maybe Old John wouldn't have seen him Xius today.

But even so, the trading had to be stopped!

And some key items, such as iron ore, are not allowed to be traded.

The big guys, after discovering that the wild people couldn't help William, were going to trap them to death this winter.

However, this cannot and does not need to be told to Old John.

When Old John heard Hughes's words, he scolded on the spot, "Shit! ”

After being silent for a long time, he had to say helplessly, "Okay, then I wish us a good start next year." ”

No way, Hughes is the only trading house in Patras City that is willing to trade with them, although the price is extremely expensive, but his family doesn't have much choice!

"Maybe you won't have to wait until next year, Lord John!" A gleam flashed in the depths of Xiusi's eyes, which was meaningful.

"What do you mean?"

"We can't sell anything to you for the time being! But Master John, you have a lot of good things to sell me! I will definitely give you a price that will satisfy you, Lord William. There was a strange glint in Hughes's eyes.

"You mean, you still want these saws?" Old John asked tentatively, hesitantly.

"Nope! Master John! Hughes smiled, "You have something more valuable here!" ”

"For example, those magical little things can make those boxy things delicately glue together, like magical things that are rooted! Its secret ingredient ......"

"No way!" Old John glared at Hughes warily and cried out loudly.

Old John, how could he not know the value of this thing!

"Master John, the price is negotiable! Either I'll go somewhere else and bring in grain or iron ore...... "Xius isn't dead yet!"

But Old John wouldn't give him that chance!

"It's not in business! I repeat, Dicaslin doesn't take it as a business! Old John looked at Hughes and said loudly, "All right! Thank you, Mr. Hughes, for your hard work and travel. Now that the deal is done, I won't keep it! Please, Mr. Theseus! ”

As he spoke, Old John commanded several members of the escort team to drive Hughes and his party out of the village of Nisse.

Looking at Old John's resolute look, Hughes knew that there was no chance now, so he smiled lightly, and was not angry, and took his staff and walked towards Patras City!

Old John stood at the head of the village, keeping an eye on the gang until they were far away and could no longer see their backs, when he snorted coldly and said to himself, "I must report this to the Baron!" ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

With the small village of Nisse on the right track and the person in charge of all the work, William is much easier than before, and he doesn't have to do it himself all the time!

He also has more time to devote to his own training.

At this time, William had just finished practicing the Dicas Knight Exercise Method, and when he heard Old John's report, he asked disapprerovingly, "You mean, that Theseus wants to buy the recipe for our lime mortar?" ”

"Yes, Lord Baron! It's just audacious! Old John sneered, "But, Lord Baron, rest assured, I have rejected him!" ”

William shrugged, not paying much attention!

In his opinion, the adhesive effect of lime mortar is there, but it is still not as good as modern cement.

If he hadn't been able to make a temperature of 1,500 degrees, he would have produced cement.

If this lime mortar can be sold at a good price, it is also acceptable.

But since old John has refused, this matter is over!

His focus was on other things that John Sr. had reported on.
