The World of Deities

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

Before breakfast, Jimmy ran over to say hello from a distance.

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

Su Ye froze for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong, and asked, "Why?"

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

"You go to Teacher Nideen right away and say that the time for him is up, and he will help me solve it." Su Ye said.

"Okay, you'd better not show up." Jimmy sprinted, and the long-distance running skills he had practiced for many years came into play at this moment.

Su Ye used the previous magic mask to disguise and secretly left through the back door.

Arriving at the Temple of the Sun, Su Ye found Alamo, and then received his gambling bonus.

More than six million.

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

Alamo turned around and left.

"Oh, I still want to discuss a big business with the Temple of Apollo." Su Yedao.

"Which one to go first?" Alamo turned around decisively, looking righteous.

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

Alamo sighed and said, "It's not a way, let's go. Let's talk about business on the carriage."

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

"Don't you just want to be like a fox and lie to me to accompany you for a day?" Alamo asked angrily.

"Of course not. I thought about a very important thing yesterday, you priests, the efficiency of spreading the glory of the gods is too low." Su Yedao.

"Go on." Alamo's eyes glowed.

"If you can teach more people to read, and then let everyone have the sun god's classics and stories about the sun god at home, everyone will believe in the sun god." Su Yedao.

"I know you should have a countermeasure, but I still have to say it. Money is not a problem, and it can even be said that books are not a problem. The big deal is to turn a magician into a coolie to make paper every day. The question is, do you know how difficult it is to teach people to read? It’s this age, and nobles are proud of their illiteracy. They laugh at slaves, not to mention some civilians. As for slaves, if it is not for their livelihoods, they will not be literate. If there are not so many people literate, you can What's the use of filling everyone's home with books?" Alamo said.

"We want to continue to spread the glory of the gods and to please the gods forever. How can we avoid this little difficulty? I ask you, first, maintain the status quo, so that most Greeks do not believe in the great sun god Apollo. Change, the second is to do something. You can make more people believe in Apollo with just a few golden eagles. What do you do?" Su Ye asked.

"I choose the second point, but I think you made things simple."

"No, the truth is that you always like to think about problems too hard. I want more people to believe in Apollo, so that they can read books about the sun god. Then, we lack two points, books, and literacy. , That's all. I can solve books. As for literacy, your temple can do it, the city-state can do it, and many people can do it." Su Ye said.

"I think you are too naive." Alamo said.

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

"Although there are old stubborn nobles who insist that they don't want to be literate, more and more people are indeed literate." Alamo said.

"Do you think you can change this general trend?" Su Ye asked.

"Of course it cannot be changed."

"So, do you think it is better for those who are the latest to recognize the word to know the'Sun God" first, or is it better to know other words first?" Su Ye asked.

Alamo's expression moved.

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

"Come on, what are you doing?" Alamo asked.

"I was playing in Lion Harbor a long time ago and heard countless interesting stories from businessmen from all over the world. When I grew up, I always came up with various ideas. I suddenly realized that if we can make cheap If we can quickly print text on paper, wouldn’t there be a lot of books? So, I thought and thought, based on the seal stone carving, I came up with a peculiar printing technique. As for papermaking, I still don’t have a clear picture However, as long as the Plato Academy is willing to support me, I will definitely be able to make low-cost paper through continuous attempts.” Su Yedao.

"After going around for a long time, do you want our temple to buy books from you?" Alamo asked.

"I'm a literate man, I don't sell books, should I open a casino to sell slaves?" Su Ye asked rhetorically.

"Yes, I can't refute this."

"Does your temple lack this money?" Su Ye asked.

Alamo did not answer cautiously.

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

Alamo vaguely thought about it, and said, "You are paying back to the goddess of wisdom? There are more books, but you are actually spreading wisdom."

"I am not only to spread wisdom, but also to make money. Both are true." Su Yedao.

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

"Well, in the next period of time, in addition to preparing new tableware, I will do my best to prepare paper and printing. Once my cheap paper is made, all parchment rolls, papyrus and wax boards will be eliminated. At that time, we will No need to look at the face of the Egyptian."

Alamo nodded.

Papyrus occupies a huge proportion of the bulk goods purchased by Greece from Egypt. It can be said that Egypt has caught the neck in this regard all over the world.

But no way, the prices of parchment and magic paper are too expensive.

"This idea came out when you got Andrea's talent?" Alamo asked.

Su Ye smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

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

However, there are also some things that do not require complete memory.

Although I can't remember the entire papermaking process, I still 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 it into sheets and dry it with water.

This process is simple to say, but it is actually very difficult to do it from scratch, requiring countless trial and error and experimentation.

However, there are magicians, dwarf artisans, and directions. It is only a matter of time before making cheap and durable paper.

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

Just like porcelain, Su Ye doesn't know how to make it. He only knows that it needs suitable porcelain clay, which is fired at high temperature to form enamel.

Magicians and craftsmen do not lack craftsmanship, technology or methods, but only a direction and creativity.

Su Ye happened to know that little bit.

Whether it is papermaking, movable type printing or porcelain, it can be achieved with today's technology.

Su Ye even suspects that at most half a year, magicians and craftsmen will use extremely low cost to produce high-quality paper far beyond their imagination.

After all, as long as the papermaking process is determined, all magicians and craftsmen have to do is continuous improvement. Too many magic medicines can improve paper, and as long as the profit is sufficient, special magical devices can even be made, just like that volcanic furnace.

The only thing Su Ye has to pay is a few words, the initial cost, and the acceptance of doubts.

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

It is equivalent to two legendary magic tools.

Accompanied by Alamo, Su Ye visited the temples of the gods bestowed by him one by one. Not only did he donate one hundred thousand golden eagles, he also talked about cooperation with the priests of each temple, and talked to the hunting temple about improving bows and arrows. Poseidon talks about spreading beliefs and selling books on land, talks with the commercial temple about commercial cooperation, talks with the wine temple about the production of high-level wine, talks with the disharmony temple about preparing to establish a new corps to create disputes, and the Harmony temple for strengthening the strength of Greece Resist Persian aggression to make Greece more peaceful, talk to the Temple of Love about contraception...

In short, Su Ye played a three-inch tongue and stayed busy until the night before he collapsed weakly on the carriage.

However, when Su Ye talked secretly with the priests of the temples, they did not allow Alamo to participate.

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

"I can't tell them about spreading the glory of the sun god, right?" Su Ye said.

"Then you let me accompany you, that is, let us take the sun temple to you?" Alamo said with a black face.

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

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

"Really? I think it is a very accomplished thing to make the temple owe favors. As for not to pay back, it is not my decision." Su Ye said.

"Sure enough, you are a bastard!"

In the middle of the night, Su Ye sneaked back to the branch from the back door, and then entered Nidern's room.

"Look at it first." Nidern smiled proudly.

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

After opening it, Su Ye showed an unbelievable look.

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

"Don’t you know that when it comes to selling Thundercloud shield spears, the response of the housekeepers, little nobles, and big businessmen of the big nobles is the same as a carnival. Finally, they forced me to auction at night because it would take the day time to raise funds or Look for collateral. Just a set of Thundercloud Shield Spears sold for 7.9 million!"

Su Ye suddenly realized that he only focused on value, but had forgotten the price.The value of this thing is fixed, but it cannot stand the scarcity too high. The incarnation of Zeus has not made Thundercloud Shield Spear for hundreds of years, and the price is destined to be ridiculously high.
