The craftsmen stared wide-eyed, whispered discussions, and discussed with the magicians.

To no avail.

Nedel's face sank, and he said angrily: "All the craftsmen immediately go to the major pottery workshops to find experienced old craftsmen, even if they are no longer making pottery!" I'll know why by tonight! Ask now! If there are no results before today, you should not think about raising your salary for three years, even if you study the legendary porcelain, it will not have a relationship with you a copper owl! ”

The human craftsmen scattered in a hurry, and they went to various workshops to find people to ask.

Behind each craftsman was a servant of Plato's Academy.

Then, Nedel reined in his anger and walked over to gently caress the smooth mouth of the black pottery.

"It's a little different. If the surface of the pottery were so smooth, the value would be even higher. Nedel said.

"I'm not sure, but I can only say that these bottles are close to the legendary porcelain."

"We'll wait, they'll bring good news." Naidel Tract.

"What about the papermakers and the harnesses?" Su Ye asked.

Nedel coughed lightly and said, "As for the harness, you can go directly to the dwarven craftsman, you already have the blueprints, and it is only a matter of time before you build them." As for papermaking...... I think it's slow first, there are really not enough people. Now porcelain is in the research phase, and from tomorrow all craftsmen will be cut off from the outside world. Once we have the first results, we will also bring in the families of all the craftsmen and let them live together. Papermaking is not necessary to block the craftsmen, but there are not enough people for a while. ”

Su Ye thought for a while and said, "It's okay." Papermaking and printing are in the hands of our magicians, and all you need to do is provide us with people and objects as we ask. ”

"No problem!" Nedel smiled, "By the way, you're here today to provide funds for the acquisition of the horse farm?" ”

Su Ye nodded and said, "I counted, I have about 14 million in cash on hand, and I want to keep 2 million for my own use." Su Ye said, taking out the big money bag.

Nedel also took it out, and the two people's money bags collided, and the shining golden eagle flowed into Nedel's large gold bag.

"How much money can I take from the dragon's beauty?" Su Ye asked.

"Three million or so." Nedel thought for a moment.

"So much?" This amount far exceeded Su Ye's estimate, after all, the knife and fork business has only been sold for less than half a year.

"If you count Greece alone, not so much, but in the past few months, whether it is Persia, Northern Europe or Egypt, it has begun to sell in large quantities. Although you didn't get the full amount back, you are a major shareholder after all, and it is not a problem to take three million. ”

"I'm investing fifteen million. No, it's still too little, I'm going to borrow fifteen million and make up thirty million. Su Ye said.

Nedel was shocked and said, "Fifteen million is enough, it's enough!" That's enough to buy dozens of horse farms. The average small horse farm is worth more than 100,000 golden eagles, and the big ones are only a million golden eagles. ”

"Not enough. Now that the future is visible, I should give it my all instead of being timid. Can Plato's Chamber lend me fifteen million? Su Ye asked.

"The largest cash loan in the history of Plato's Chamber of Commerce was two million golden eagles, and it was lent out in two installments." Nedel looked at Su Ye helplessly.

"What about five million?" Su Ye asked.

Nedel said: "The only one who can lend this amount is the temple, and even the demigod family can't lend it to you." It's not that the demigod family doesn't have it, but it can't be borrowed casually. ”

Su Ye thought for a while and said, "Then I can only go to the Temple of Commerce and see if they can borrow me." I have enough collateral anyway. ”

"The Temple of Commerce should only be able to lend you 10 million, which is the upper limit of the Temple's borrowing. I had never heard of a temple lending more than ten million to anyone at a time, and of course, the city-state was not among them. Nedel said.

"It doesn't matter, I'll run a few more temples. In addition to the Temple of Commerce, the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom and the Temple of the Sun should be willing to lend me, and the Temple of the God King is rich and wealthy, so it is estimated that they are also willing to lend it to me. Su Ye said.

"Your current status and wealth can indeed be borrowed." Nedel's tone was full of envy.

"The money is given to you, make the first step of the acquisition, and the next funds will be transferred to you one after another." Su Ye Dao.

"Don't worry, I'm going to contact you now to buy the racecourse!" Nedel turned to leave.

Su Ye picked up the magic book and was about to send a magic letter to Nedern, when he suddenly saw a magic letter.

"There are some things that you forget, but I remember."

Su Ye reluctantly glanced at the "Euclid" at the checkout office, if this was a magic letter that was not signed, the ghost knew which idiot man and woman sent it.

"The first installment will give you 150,000 golden eagles, and then the second installment will be given to you in a few months."

"I knew you wouldn't regret it! I'll be right away. ”

Su Ye felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Euclid rushing over quickly, holding the purple hat with one hand, for fear that the hat would fall off.

"How long have you been following me?" Su Ye gave him a helpless look.

"From the time you entered Plato's Academy." Euclid's face was straight, and his thick beard trembled like a tree root.

"You teachers, aren't all used to using magic to spy on students?" Su Ye asked.

"Isn't everyone like that?" Euclid looked puzzled.

"A bunch of teachers who are not people! You wait first, I'll do the math in the house first. He glared at Euclid angrily, found a room, used the blockade spell, entered the ruins space, made 10,000 sacrifices, and sacrificed fifteen times in one breath, getting a total of six mana sources and six more mana wells.

The magic root is the same as the talent, it belongs to its own power, but the magic well belongs to the external force, and it has obtained six in a row, and there is no discomfort in the body.

Some of the rest of the talents are fused, and some are placed there, and the value is average.

Walking out of the house, Su Ye sent the 150,000 golden eagles that had been sacrificed to Euclid's gold bag.

Euclid couldn't put it down as he held the gold bag, grinning uncontrollably.

"You are such a good man, the best magician in the whole Platonic Academy. I read you right! Rest assured, I'll keep track of every expense and use it for magic and geometry! ”

Su Ye nodded and said, "By the way, I also discussed logic with Aristotle, and you can also discuss it with him when you have time, maybe there are new discoveries, and he has inspired me a little." ”

"Good! Then I'm gone, don't forget the rest! Euclid left with the gold bag in his hand.

Su Ye looked at Euclid's back, his eyes flashing with doubt.

"What two things did he forget?"

Then, Su Ye shook his head, reopened the magician, and contacted Nedern to discuss the matter of papermaking.

Until the evening, craftsmen returned one after another.

When Nedel returned, everyone gathered to discuss.

Su Ye quietly listened to their discussion.

With the exception of a few who heard some ridiculous results, the results of most people were surprisingly consistent.

If plant ash falls on the pottery, there is a risk that it will be smooth and shiny.

Su Ye frowned and thought, I really learned this thing in chemistry, but after so many years, I really forgot whether the main ingredient was potassium carbonate or calcium carbonate, or both.

Theoretically, porcelain enamel is inseparable from calcium and silicon, after all, I have also bought bone china supplies, and that thing is to add a lot of bone meal.

Anyway, this should be a direction to give it a try.

In the end, everyone stopped discussing and looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye said: "You can start building a furnace." In order to find the best heat, use magic controls. We first experimented with the clay of white pottery, and the glaze of the surface layer was mainly grass and wood ash, and we constantly tried to add some various powders such as white clay and bone meal. Building twenty or thirty kilns at a time, continuous trial and error, step by step, I believe that within half a year, the preliminary porcelain will be fired. After that, we need to keep improving, and I believe that with the efforts of all the magicians and craftsmen, we will be able to make perfect porcelain. ”

Nedel looked embarrassed and said, "You said that the temperature of the porcelain kiln is mainly higher than that of the pottery kiln, and it is just an ordinary porcelain kiln that does not cost much. However, if you want to add magic control, the cost of a porcelain kiln will exceed three thousand golden eagles, and it will not be too extravagant to build twenty or thirty porcelain kilns that are destined to be torn down and rebuilt in one go? ”

"Time is more important than money. Your Platonic Chamber of Commerce will pay in advance, and if you can't make a profit within three years, I will compensate you double. If profitable, the costs associated with the kiln are borne by the Supernova Chamber of Commerce. Su Ye said.

"Okay...... Today's young people are really bold. ”

"Now that we are building a porcelain kiln, as for how to make porcelain, I only know the steps that are broken, and the details are up to you. Once the ceramics are made, the Supernova Chamber of Commerce will reward you with 5,000 Golden Eagles each! Those who contribute more will be rewarded more, and there is no upper limit. In addition, for those who have made the greatest contribution to the study of porcelain, I will personally give you a student financial aid place in Plato's Academy, which can enroll your child in school, and the cost will be borne by me alone! ”

The eyes of all the craftsmen and magicians lit up.

Subsequently, Su Ye and the craftsmen carefully discussed each link, and where Su Ye did not understand, the craftsmen explained in detail, and slowly, everyone determined a detailed plan.

After dinner, Su Ye left Plato's Academy, went to the Acropolis, borrowed 10 million gold eagles from the Temple of Commerce and the Temple of Athena, and stook two 5 million-level treasures respectively, and repaid 12 million gold eagles each after a year.

The money was handed over to Nedel and a formal agreement was signed.

On the way home, Su Ye roughly calculated that this time he invested a full 35 million Golden Eagles, and it is conservatively estimated that after the cavalry battle, it will be doubled, and if he is lucky, his net income may reach 50 million Golden Eagles!

However, the premise is that the first cavalry battle is fought beautifully, so beautiful that it shocks the world.

"Looks like I'm going to war again. For the sake of 50 million golden eagles, and for the fountain of youth, it's worth it! ”

"Next, I will study in class during the day, and go to the workshop at night to study porcelain and papermaking, and the cavalry training can be done by myself at Plato's Academy, and I don't have to worry about it."

Back at home, go straight into the volcanic plane to meditate.

Once again, Wang Dazhui became a miner, but the miner was full of joy.
