Chapter 113: New Business

The plant Li Yu saw in the garden was a honey locust tree, which belonged to an old friend of the Chinese people in another plane.

Cooking and medicine are all included, and the most useful part of honey locust is that it can be used as a substitute for soap to a certain extent.

Used as a detergent, it costs less than porcine pancreas.

Just as the bathhouse of Shuangxiu was about to open, Li Yu planned to introduce the Roman bathing culture to the continent of Brattis as a way to improve the personal health problems of the local natives.

However, it is not suitable to just dry rub, at this time it is a godsend to encounter honey locusts, and this kind of thing can not only be used to wash people, but also to wash clothes, which is less harmful to clothes than plant ash.

Li Yu is going to plant a large area in the green field as soon as he gets the seeds.

This is also thanks to the fact that the caravan from the east was killed early in the morning, otherwise if Theodosius knew that his iron thorn still had this effect, Li Yu estimated that it would not be so easy to get the seed.

After finalizing the matter of the honey locust, Li Yu went to visit Timo, who won the runner-up of the first Green Field Open Wheat Missionary and studied for a period of time in the territory of the Shuangxiu Church.

After that, he returned to Blackstone City, where he organized several missionary activities in a low-key manner.

After all, Timo's biggest weapon is his appearance.

It is a new way to proselytize, but this kind of proselytizing method is not replicable and cannot be popularized on a large scale.

It can only exist in the form of secret societies.

However, this time Li Yu did not come to learn about the progress of Timo's work, he wanted to meet Timo's mother Safri.

The latter is an elf, with a beauty rarely seen even among elves, and is obviously fifty-seven years old, but his cheeks are still as soft as a baby, and there is a lazy style in his every move.

It's not hard to see where Timo's beauty comes from.

"Welcome." Safri poured wine for Li Yu, "During this time, my son has been taken care of by you. ”

"To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise to me that you agreed to Teemo joining the Church of Shuangxiu, because as far as I know, most of the elves believe in the Mother Goddess of Forest and Life." Li Yu took the wine glass.

Safri sighed, "That's true, but I've broken the traditions of the elves and married a heretic, and this child's father believed in Fingal, the god of storms and ice, and I made a pact with his father to let Teemo choose his own faith in the future."

"It's just that I didn't expect that he didn't choose the god of storms and ice, nor the goddess of forests and life, but chose Saturday behind you, but since this is an agreement between me and my deceased husband, there is no reason to change it.

"Besides, neither the gods of storms and ice nor the Mother Goddess of Forests and Life have stopped answering us now, and Timothy was able to find a purpose in Saturday, and I, as a mother, were happy for him."

"I've heard that you have previously assembled a caravan to travel to the continent of Brattis."

Hearing this, Safuri glanced at Li Yu deeply, and said with a smile, "That's right, but I've made enough money to disband the caravan, settle down in Black Rock City, and concentrate on raising this son." ”

Teemo, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak, "Mother, if Saturday is a call to you, you shouldn't be so quick to refuse, at least listen to what Prophet Merlin has to say. ”

Safri raised her eyebrows, "You've only been a Hugh for so long that you can't wait to go against me?" ”

After speaking, she said to Li Yu again, "Everyone says that there are many talents in the Shuangxiu Sect, why did you think of coming to me, the leader of a little-known small caravan." ”

"Forgive me for asking someone to do some research on you, the Ice Strings Chamber of Commerce is not a small caravan with no name, especially in the south, you and your caravan are very famous. Now I need your business experience. ”

Hearing Li Yu say this, Safri didn't deny it anymore, but said, "That was two or three years ago, if it wasn't for the sudden death of my man, I wouldn't have shown my face outside."

"Especially with my beauty, it is not easy to maneuver among those nobles, and I have made up my mind to leave."

Li Yu knew that Safri had lied, she had gone into seclusion in Black Rock City, and it had only been more than a year since her hands began to itch again.

Although no more caravans have been formed, they have already begun to secretly start looking for suitable shops.

Li Yu no longer beat around the bush, and immediately said, "I plan to start a few new businesses, and I'm looking for partners, you don't have to leave Black Rock City, I don't know if you're interested." ”

"What business?" Safri asked.

"Linen and paper."

This answer disappointed Safri slightly, "The price of linen in Blackstone City is not high, and the profit is limited. As far as I know, the Shuangxiu Church is spending a lot of money right now, and if it can't open up a large-scale new source of money, it will soon be unable to make ends meet. ”

Speaking of which, Safri finally stopped hiding it and spread out her words.

The reason why she didn't want to cooperate with the Shuangxiu Sect was purely from the perspective of interests, and in Safri's opinion, the current Shuangxiu Sect was a big fire pit, and under Li Yu's heretical offensive of spending money to preach, it would not last long.

"I have a lot of linen on hand, and it's cheap enough to produce it at a third of the cost."

"So cheap?" Safri was stunned.

The production of linen was completely transparent on the continent of Brattis, and was almost always hand-woven by women in the countryside or in the city at their leisure and sold to linen merchants.

If it is too expensive, the linen merchants will not accept it, and if it is too cheap, they might as well keep it for their own use, so the price has been very stable, just to make a hard money.

But it is undeniable that no matter where it is, linen has always been in demand, and it is not worrying about sales, if someone can really reduce the production cost of linen, then he can have a steady stream of money to send it to the door as long as he is lying down.

And this is not the only news that shocked Safri, Li Yu then introduced her to the paper, the first batch of white paper from the Shuangxiu Sect has been produced, the thickness is slightly exceeded, but this also makes these papers look quite durable.

Compared to fragile papyrus, it will not break even if it is folded repeatedly.

Safri was moved on the spot, especially when she asked Li Yu about the production cost of these blank papers, Safri had already realized how much impact this thing would have on the paper that was now popular in the Brattis continent.

Moreover, this thing is also quite convenient to transport, and can be sold to the royal capital. The aristocrats there must have flocked to these blank papers.
