In addition to honey, indigo has also become a commodity in the city of Tournest.

The Neustrian kingdoms have a long history of cultivating and using bluegrass, and it is recorded that even before the Church set foot on the soils of these countries, when the soldiers of the ancient empire arrived, they were seen to have bluegrass painted on the faces of the indigenous people.

However, using it as a pigment is very different from using it as a dye.

The latter must be able to withstand washing.

From the Ancient Empire to the Great Demon King of Luo Yi to Neustria, the craftsmen here did not know how to dye cloth with blue grass, but only used it as a pigment.

How to make indigo from blue grass, China and India took different paths in BC, China used the water-soaked lime method, there is a record of "blue out of blue and better than blue", India used urine fermentation method, and indigo made of indigo is a muddy dye, which is more convenient for transportation, storage and use than blue grass. When used, ferment with sake lees

After the fabric is impregnated in indigo, it is taken out and placed in a ventilated place for oxidation, then the indigo will be reconverted into insoluble indigo, and so repeated several times, it can be dyed into a bright and dark blue that is not easy to fade.

Now Turnest produces very good indigo, a plant that is used as a dye and has the same value commercially as sugar cane and cotton.

Honey and indigo are newly developed commodities, and the traditional wool trade of Tournest is not easily let go of by the Great Demon King.

With the abolition of trade concessions, a large number of small traders, and even some large producers, were able to participate in the market and were no longer exploited by monopoly middlemen. More participants in the wool market not only mean the prosperity of the hotel and catering industry in the city of Tournest (no matter how extravagant a big businessman is, he only has a belly, and small

No matter how much the trader saved him, he could at least bring manure to Tournest), and the profits gradually flowed into the hands of the producers in the competition, which stimulated the prosperity of the wool industry.

The Great Demon King's plan for the wool trade is two-pronged.

On the one hand, she set up a breeding farm in the hope of breeding high-quality wool, which was very valuable, and Herodotus once recorded that sheep farmers dressed sheep in order to protect high-quality wool, while the shepherds' own children had no clothes to wear.

The method of cultivation is to select improved varieties and use high-protein leguminous forages as feed.

The latter is borrowed from the Chinese method of cultivating Hu sheep, and the brush made of the wool of the Hu sheep is considered to be the top grade of the sheep's hair, and the reason why the Hu sheep has this reputation is because the locals feed the sheep with high-protein mulberry leaves, so that the Hu sheep's coat color has a special luster and a unique transparent tip "Ying".

Now there are no mulberry trees in the diocese of Tournest, so Luo Yi uses the same protein-rich pasture as fodder, hoping to improve the quality of the local wool that she owns.

On the other hand, she wanted to move the wool industry to Tournest.

No matter how much money can be made from exporting raw materials, the difference between the price of raw materials and finished products is not one or two points according to her observations in various handicraft industries. However, the fine wool processing industry was a highly skilled and handicraft industry, which Hugh said Neustria, even in the neighboring countries, did not master.

She has sent industrial spies to recruit talent for her.

There are many such industrial espionage in history, there are stealing cinchona, there are stealing Venetian glass recipes, and so on, and China is also deeply affected by industrial espionage - one of China's major trade commodities with foreign countries was tea, so Britain sent spies gentlemanly to travel all over China to steal high-quality tea seeds in colonization

As a result, China's foreign tea trade plummeted, the country's finances and rural economy collapsed further, and India replaced China as the world's highest-quality tea producer.

However, these craftsmen who are proficient in the fine processing of wool are not trained in a day, and whether they can be recruited or not - it is better to cast the net anyway than not to scatter it.

While the Great Demon King was busy with commercial development, the others were not idle.

Since the bishop was trapped in the city of Tournest, he devoted himself to the transformation of the city.

Today, the walls of Tournest can no longer accommodate the skyrocketing population, not to mention the construction of many public facilities and large workshops in new industries. Thus, at the city council, plans were put forward for the construction of new districts and a second wall outside the city walls.

At this meeting, Luo Yi was surprised to learn that the Cathedral of Tournest and the walls of Tournest were not made of stone, as she had previously thought, but of a special material, almost called cement.

This particular material is the product of a hill near the city of Tournest, which is known as the Red Mountain.

There is a kind of sandstone in the mountain, which is very loose in nature, and ordinary people can easily dig it down and crush it with a chisel, and this sandstone powder will become very strong when mixed with water, and the appearance will be like a rock.

The royal palace of the Grenada dynasty in Spain was built with this sandstone cement.

With this special material, they were able to create a stone-like effect in much less labor time than it would have been to build a stone building.

Moreover, because this material is crushed first and then mixed with water, it can be easily shaped, which is much more convenient than carving on stone.

Along with the construction of the new town and the construction of the city walls was the renovation of the Cathedral of Tournest, which the old bishop collected from the people for many years of his renovation, but not a single day of work was seen.

This kind of thing is not unusual, as it is recorded in the Bible that when the Jewish king saw that the temple was in ruins, he asked the priests to collect money from the people to build the temple. For this reason, the king stopped their right to collect money and told them to repair the temple. However, wait for the new country

When the king came to power, the temple was still not repaired.

Nowadays, pilgrims from all over the world are numerous, and the Cathedral of Tournest seems too bleak to match its place in the hearts of pilgrims.

The bishop is very active in promoting this renovation, too active—probably compared to the busy activities of going to the countryside some time ago, he is now too idle in the city, and can only be busy with these things all day long-Luo Yi thought.

Fortunately, his energy was only used to toss the house, not the house.

The beautiful point of the house can attract more tourists and tourists' silver, house fighting...... I guess I can make a modest contribution to Ji Lu's birth.

Although they are all shrouded in the shadow of the assassination, each of them is constantly paving the way for themselves to get closer to their goal.

At the same time, the castle of the Baroness's biological father, Count Faisal, was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
