Chapter 131: Which Girl Doesn't Have Spring
After a while, Gareth took Jason to the casino, which looked like a small castle from the outside, but of course it couldn't be compared to the castle in terms of architectural requirements.
They only look similar on the outside, but inside is an empty hall with two floors above it, which is specially reserved for those nobles and big merchants.
"It's great value for money. ”
Jason looked at the interior of the exquisitely decorated casino with a look of admiration, the construction team that Villelet found was really reliable, and tens of thousands of gold coins smashed into it did make the ideal appearance, and even exceeded Jason's expectations.
In particular, the relief above depicts the gods gathering in the garden, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen makes it look spectacular.
Legend has it that the gods dwelt on top of the Mount of the Infinity Gods, where there was a huge garden.
On weekdays, when they have nothing to do, they will go there to hold parties, they drink wine, taste food, and have a party.
"I think our future guests will definitely enjoy it. ”
He said with satisfaction as he touched the polished wooden amusement equipment.
"Yes, my lord, I hope this place can bring us great benefits. Gareth smiled and accosted.
"Pray for our future and praise our efforts. ”
..................
A few days later in the evening in Lucca, Villette still lit the lamp in her study to deal with the recent accounts, and the faint light was sprinkled on the yellowed parchment and reflected on her delicate face.
"Miss, Butler Bolton asks to see you. At this time, a maid called softly outside the door, Bolton was the old butler's real name, and he could not follow Violet all the time, so it was still necessary for a maid to go in at this time and ask her if it was inconvenient.
"Well, please let him in. Wellett tightened her coat, put down the pen in her hand, rubbed her head, and replied softly.
I don't know what the old butler is looking for himself so late, if there is no important matter, he will not bother himself at this time.
"Miss. In a moment the old butler came in, and saluted first to Villeret, 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 up like this. He said worriedly that there had been too many things lately, and that Villerett needed to do everything herself.
"It's okay, I'm still young and my body can hold up. Vill Fleet smiled reluctantly, her face full of exhaustion, there have been too many things recently, and judging from the recent news from the family, her side needs to speed up, otherwise the Kyle family will suffer the biggest impact and loss in a hundred years.
"Putting that aside, is there anything you did with me coming to me so late?" she asked with a smile.
"Someone from the Iron Fang Collar has come and delivered a letter. The old butler sighed, knowing that he could not persuade her, so he had to make her happy.
"It's a handwritten letter from the Marquis of Jason. He finally added.
"Really?"
A flash of happiness flashed in Willett's eyes, but there was no clue in his expression.
"Yes. ”
The old butler took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Welllet, looking at her pretty face that was about to hold back a smile and couldn't help but sigh secretly, hoping that the young lady would not be dizzy because of this.
"Miss, I'll step back first. ”
"Well, you walk slowly. ”
As soon as the old butler stepped back, Villelet couldn't help but pick up the letter on the table, which read, "Beautiful Miss Villeret."
This stinky boy actually remembered to write to himself, and thought he had forgotten Miss Ben!
Villette looked at the handwriting on it with great progress and secretly swore in her heart that if this guy didn't apologize well in the letter, she decided not to take the initiative to find him next time she went to the Iron Fang.
Quickly opened the envelope, Willett pursed her mouth and read it, she couldn't help but smile from time to time during the reading of the letter, it seems that Jason's EQ is not low enough to need to be recharged, and he knows that girls need to coax this truth.
"It's really numb. After reading it, Violet bit her lip and muttered unhappily, but the smile on her lips betrayed her mood.
In the letter, Jason first told him about his recent situation, then expressed his thoughts about Villeret, and his concern for her, and finally mentioned the matter of the casino, and then invited her to meet in Erbia in half a month.
Of course, it would be better if she could send a few invitations in her name and invite some of the big businessmen of Lucca City to attend this banquet.
"I know you stinky guy didn't mean to write to me. ”
Wellett frowned cutely, a little emotional, but she still took out some letter paper from under the table, and then thought about it for a while and slowly wrote on it, with a smile still on the corner of her mouth.
..................
"My lord, can we really make something out of these sawdust for us to write?" Gareth asked as he looked at Jason suspiciously, and Ronnat next to him looked at Jason as he did.
"That's right, boil these sawdusts and pound them into powder, and finally scoop them out and spread them on this mat, flatten them and let them dry, and it should be about the same. ”
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 implement at all.
It is still difficult to make smooth and strong paper that is not easy to break, which requires the craftsmen under Jason to perfect, and Jason only needs to tell the general process and ideas.
"But if you want to make paper that is really suitable for writing, you still need to continue to explore. "The parchment paper that is commonly used today is actually cut from a type of skin called Lolo sheep, which is too expensive.
As for why Jason suddenly wanted to make white paper, it was because he wrote a letter to Willett a few days ago, and he had a lot to write, and it was wasteful and troublesome to write on that kind of parchment, so he suddenly thought of papermaking, one of the four great inventions of the previous world.
This is a good thing, if you can make it, not only can you save a lot of money, after all, the price of the parchment roll is not low, if you can find out how it is made and produce it in large quantities, it can also bring a lot of income to the territory.
“......”
As much as he wanted to believe Jason, Gareth didn't think that the pasty in the pot could make something for people to write, let alone replace parchment.
"Someday you'll take my word for it. Jason didn't explain it to them in detail, but shrugged at them.
It's impossible to make it right the first time, so the next step is to tell a few trusted craftsmen about this technique, ask them to help explore and improve it, and finally come up with a finished product to open the eyes of these two guys.
But after this incident, Jason felt as if he had forgotten a lot of things, and in his previous life, it seemed that there were a lot of simple and practical things that could be made to improve his territory income!
