After determining the direction, Su Ye took out the magic book, wrote and painted, decomposed the project, dismantled the goal, established the method, looked for obstacles and determined the means in advance, and even rehearsed in his mind.

Before breakfast, Jimmy ran over and greeted him from afar.

"Su Ye, you go through the back door today."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, always felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Why?" ”

"The door has been blocked by many people, there are small nobles, there are butlers of big nobles, and some merchants. If it weren't for the fear of magic, they would have rushed in. All of them are clamoring to see you, hoping that you can sell them the extra temple treasures. Jimmy said.

"You go to Mr. Nedern right away, and say that the time has come to need him, and he will help me solve it." Su Ye Dao.

"Okay, you'd better keep your face out." Jimmy ran in a smoke, and the long-distance running skills that he had worked on for years came into play at this moment.

Su Ye used the magic mask he used before to change his face and secretly left through the back door.

Arriving at the Temple of the Sun, Su Ye found Alamo and claimed his gambling winnings.

More than six million.

"How about accompanying me to other temples?" Su Ye asked.

Alamo turned and left.

"Well, I want to make a big deal with the Temple of Apollo." Su Ye Dao.

"Which one to go to first?" Alamo turned decisively, with a righteous face.

"Take the carriage of your temple and send me to other temples, and I will donate 100,000 gold eagles each." Su Ye Dao.

Alamo sighed and said, "It's not a way, let's go." We chatted about business in the carriage. ”

After getting into the carriage, Su Ye sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and said nothing.

"You don't just want to fake the tiger and trick me into accompanying you for a day?" Alamo asked angrily.

"Of course not. I thought of a very important thing yesterday, you priests, you are too ineffective in spreading the radiance of the gods. Su Ye said.

"Go on." Alamo's eyes glowed.

"If you can teach more people to read, and then everyone has a book about the sun god and a story about the sun god in their homes, everyone will believe in the sun god." Su Ye Dao.

"I know you should have a countermeasure, but I'm going to say it anyway. Money is not a problem, and it can even be said that books are not a problem, and it is a big deal to make magicians become coolies who make paper every day. The question is, do you know how difficult it is to teach people to read? It's all in this era, and there are still aristocrats who are proud of being illiterate, and those who laugh at literacy are slaves, not to mention some commoners. As for the slaves, if it weren't for their livelihood, they wouldn't be literate. If there aren't so many people who are literate, what's the use of filling everyone's house with books? Alamo said.

"We want to continue to spread the brilliance of the gods, to please the gods for eternity, how can we retreat from this little difficulty? I ask you, one is to maintain the status quo so that the majority of the Greeks have the same belief in the great sun god Apollo, and the other is to do something that only needs to pay some golden eagles to make more people believe in Apollo, how do you do it? Su Ye asked.

"I'll pick the second point, but I think you're keeping things simple."

"No, the truth is, you always like to think about things too hard. If we want more people to believe in Apollo, we can make them read books about the sun god, so we lack two things, books, and make them literate, that's all. I can solve the books, and as for literacy, you temples can do it, the city-states can do it, and many, many people can do it. Su Ye said.

"I think you're naïve." Alamo Road.

"Let me ask you, are there more and more literate people now?" Su Ye asked.

"Although there are old stubborn aristocrats who insist that they do not want to be literate, it is true that more and more people are literate." Alamo Road.

"Do you think you can change that?" Su Ye asked.

"Of course it can't be changed."

"So, do you think it's better for those who are new to read and write to know 'Sun God' first, or to know other words first?" Su Ye asked.

Alamo's expression moved.

Su Ye continued: "Compared with the food that is given to the Sun Temple, and compared to the charm of following the priests, don't you think it is more important to let the first group of literate people follow the spirit of the Sun God? ”

"Tell me, what are you for?" Alamo asked.

"I was playing in Lion Harbor a long time ago and heard countless interesting stories from merchants from all over the world. When I grew up, I always came up with ideas. It dawned on me that if we could make cheap paper, if we could quickly print words on paper, wouldn't there be a lot of books? So, I thought and thought, and on the basis of the seal stone carving, I came up with a peculiar printing technique. As for papermaking, I don't have a clear route yet, but as long as Plato's Academy is willing to support me, I can definitely make paper at a low price by constantly trying. Su Ye said.

"After a long detour, do you want our temple to go to you to buy books?" Alamo asked.

"I'm a man of culture, I don't sell books, do you want me to open a casino to sell slaves?" Su Ye asked rhetorically.

"Yes, I can't argue with that."

"Do you have a shortage of money for your temple?" Su Ye asked.

Alamo cautiously did not answer.

Su Ye replied for him: "Of course there is no shortage, but if more people get the classics of the sun god, will the sun god be happy?" ”

Alamo pondered vaguely and said, "Are you repaying the goddess of wisdom?" When there are more books, they are actually spreading wisdom. ”

"I'm here to spread wisdom and make money." Su Ye Dao.

"This matter, my status can be decided, but you have to come up with a sample book first." Alamo Road.

"Well, for the next period of time, in addition to preparing new tableware, I will go all out to prepare paper and printing. As soon as my cheap paper is made, all the parchment rolls, papyrus, and wax boards will be obsolete. At that point, we don't need to look at the Egyptians' faces. ”

Alamo nodded.

Papyrus accounted for a large proportion of the bulk purchases made by Greece from Egypt, and it can be said that the whole world was choked by Egypt in this regard.

But it can't be helped, the price of parchment and magic paper is too expensive.

"You came up with this idea when you got Andrew's talent?" Alamo asked.

Su Ye smiled slightly and said, "Yes." ”

Su Ye was extremely grateful to Andre at this moment, thanks to the "Perfect Memory" and other related talents, he recalled some things that he had completely forgotten.

However, there are also some things that do not need to be memorized in their entirety.

Although I can't remember the whole process of papermaking, I also vaguely remember that papermaking is nothing more than crushing and boiling plant fibers such as bamboo bark to form pulp, and then find a way to spread them into sheets and dry them in water.

The process is easy to say, but doing it from scratch is actually very difficult and requires countless trial-and-error and trials.

However, there were magicians, there were dwarven craftsmen, there were directions, and it was only a matter of time before cheap and durable paper was made.

In the process of making, craftsmen and magicians will solve all problems and even use magic to make better quality paper.

Just like porcelain, Su Ye didn't know how to make it at all, only knew that he needed a suitable porcelain clay, and then fired it at a high temperature to form an enamel.

Magicians and craftsmen do not lack craft, techniques or methods, but only direction and creativity.

Su Ye happened to know a little bit.

Whether it's papermaking, movable type printing or porcelain, it's all possible with today's technology.

Su Ye even suspected that in half a year at most, magicians and craftsmen would produce high-quality paper far beyond their imagination at a very low cost.

After all, as long as the process of making paper is determined, all magicians and craftsmen have to do is keep improving, too many magic drugs can improve paper, and as long as the profit is enough, they can even make special magic weapons, like the volcanic furnace.

The only thing Su Ye has to pay is a few words and the cost of the upfront, as well as to bear the doubts.

Before leaving the Sun Temple, Su Ye spent a full 400,000 golden eagles to buy two super large space rings with a length and width of up to 100 meters.

Equivalent to two legendary magic weapons.

Accompanied by Alamo, Su Ye visited the temples of the major gods given to him one by one, not only donating 100,000 gold eagles, but also talking about cooperation with the priests of each temple, talking about improving bows and arrows with the hunting temple, talking about how to spread faith and selling books on land, talking about commercial cooperation with the temple of commerce, talking about the production of high wine with the temple of wine, talking with the temple of discord about preparing to establish a new corps to create disputes, talking to the temple of harmony about strengthening the strength of Greece to resist Persian aggression and make Greece more peaceful, and talking about contraception with the temple of love......

In short, Su Ye played an incorruptible tongue and was busy until the night, before he collapsed on the carriage weakly.

However, when Su Ye had secret talks with the priests of the temples, he did not let Alamo participate.

"What did you talk to them about? Can't you talk about it? ”

"I can't tell them about spreading the splendor of the sun god, am I?" Su Ye Dao.

"Then you let me accompany you, just let our Sun Temple carry the black cauldron for you?" Alamo said with a dark face.

"You can't say that." Su Ye is lazy.

"You owe us a favor from the Sun Temple!" Alamo Road.

"Really? I feel that it is a very accomplishment to make the temple owe favors. As for whether or not to pay it back, that's not something for me to decide. Su Ye said.

"Sure enough, you're a bastard!"

Late at night, Su Ye sneaked back to the branch through the back door, and then entered Nedern's room.

"You take a look first." Nedern smiled proudly.

Su Ye immediately took over a large gold bag that was about the same as an ordinary gold bag, worth more than 20,000 golden eagles, and could hold a full billion golden eagles at most!

When he opened it, Su Ye showed a look of disbelief.

"Just that little thing, sold for more than 8.2 million?" Su Ye asked.

"Don't you know that when it comes to selling thundercloud shield spears, the reaction of the housekeepers, small nobles and big businessmen of the big nobles is like a carnival. In the end, they forced me to auction at night because I had to spend the daytime raising money or looking for collateral. Just one set of thundercloud shield spears sold 7.9 million! ”

Su Ye suddenly realized that he only paid attention to value, but forgot about the price. The value of this thing is fixed, but the scarcity is too high, and the incarnation of Zeus has not made a thundercloud shield spear for hundreds of years, and the price is destined to be ridiculously high.
