The task is well done.
It doesn't matter how much goods the town residents buy and sell, he has already decided that the castle will come forward to purchase goods worth more than 3 gold coins.
Recently, seafood has started to make money, and the east coast has become a continuous gold coin production line for the castle.
His money bag managed to stop drying up and slowed down slightly, and now there are about 5 gold coins in it.
"Old Grandet, I have something to ask you to come here. The caravan from North Valley City will come to Huahua Town tomorrow. I will give you 3 gold coins. Be sure to spend all the gold coins and buy whatever you can."
Old Grandet was very sensitive: "My lord, are you going to use the charm of gold coins to attract the caravan to come again next time?"
"exactly."
"Old Grandet understands, and will definitely do this well."
"Well, you can go back."
"Yes, my lord, I wish you good night."
Old Grandet turned and left. At the gate of the castle, he saw Bunier, so he greeted: "Bunier, did the lord look for you too?"
"Oh, no, I made the soap and sent it to the castle." Bunier shook the bag in his hand, "Is the lord looking for you for tomorrow's caravan business?"
Old Grandet said with a little pride: "Of course, I am the leader of the castle caravan. Your lord trusts me."
"I really envy you, don't say anything, I have to go in." Bunier passed the old Grandet, led by the servant, entered the castle, and came to Liszt.
Salute respectfully and hand the soap to the servant.
"Finally, the soap is finished. From now on, you don't have to go to Coral City to buy those soaps that cost one copper plate, but sell soap for two silver coins." Liszt picked up a piece of soap, and felt that Bunier's craftsmanship was good, and it was better than the soap bought in Coral City. How much worse, "Thanks for your hard work, Bunier."
"It is Bunier's luck to work for the lord."
"I have one more thing for you."
"My lord, please order."
Liszt said: "I heard about a formula that mixes pig pancreas and plant ash. It is roughly these two materials, which can make a soap that has a stronger cleaning ability than saponins, called soap." Liszt directly used soap to describe it. Anyway, it was a new thing, and no one competed for the right to name it.
"Is there any better soap than saponins? My lord, can pig pancreas also clean and decontaminate?" Bunier was surprised.
"That's the truth, but I can't remember exactly how to mix it. So, I'm entrusting you with the task of making soap. I hope you can figure out how to use pig pancreas and plant ash to make soap that can be used for bathing. Making After I come out, I will reward you heavily."
Bunier hurriedly said: "It is Bunier's luck to work for the lord. Please rest assured, the lord. Bunier will definitely make soap as soon as possible."
"Well, don't forget to continue making soap, the castle can't stop soap."
"Please rest assured, my lord."
…
The reward for the smoke task is still very fast.
In the early morning of the next day, Liszt received a report that the fishermen in Shengyu Village had found a huge sea monster stranded on the east coast. The sea monster, the black pearl of the deep sea, Liszt realized immediately, and set off for the east coast.
On the beach, he saw a stranded sea monster, accompanied by a fishy smell.
"My lord, do you know this kind of sea monster?" Gao Ertai and others rushed over early, but they didn't know what species the stranded sea monster was.
Liszt took a closer look and found that the sea monster was some kind of mollusk with a huge body, at least ten meters long. There are tentacles, softly entangled together, and looking at its body, it looks a bit like a squid, spread out on the beach, with signs of decay, and it is not clear what it looked like when it was alive.
He cast his eyes of magic power and found that there was no magic power flowing from the sea monster.
Strictly speaking, this is just some kind of sea animal, not a sea monster.
"It may be a large squid, not a sea monster." Liszt fanned the air in front of his nose. The smell of rotting squid was very smelly.
"I don't know if I can eat it?" Blair asked suddenly.
Gao Ertai made a disgusted expression: "I can't bear to smell this smell, let alone eat it. I don't think it belongs to seafood. It's a monster! Maybe it's highly poisonous, and I even ate it in the sea Man. I've heard of a sea monster that entangles ships, and this squid has 'hands,' and it's sure to entangle ships too."
Regardless of whether it was poisonous or eaten, Lister would not treat it as seafood.
Just throw away the rotten stuff.
But thinking that the black pearl in the deep sea might be related to this large squid, he ordered: "Mr. Gao Ertai, find someone to dissect this large squid and see if you can find anything interesting in its body. If there is nothing , chopped it up and threw it into the sea, so as not to create a bad smell."
Gao Ertai began to organize fishermen to come and dissect the large squid.
Liszt rode his horse towards the stranded sailboat on the beach not far away. The sailboat with several holes had been repaired by the carpenter. When the tide is low, it can be moved into the sea. After the sea tide rises, it can basically be sailed back to the sea... However, there are captains who can steer, but there are no qualified sailors.
"My lord, Costo sends his greetings to you."
While Liszt was admiring the sailboat, his followers, knights Philip and Xavier, stopped a fisherman. The fisherman hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Costo
Liszt remembered the name, he turned his horse's head, and said to Thomas who was following him, "Let him come here."
Costo is a tall, middle-aged man, with vicissitudes of life on his dark face: "My lord, Costo sends his greetings to you."
"You've already said it once." Liszt looked at him, "Stand up and talk. If I remember correctly, you are the captain of this ship?"
"My lord can still remember Kosto, Kosto is very honored." Kosto stood up and said respectfully, "I used to work for Lord Papa as the captain of the Flying, which is a three-masted sailing ship. It can reach a speed of 3 knots. This sailboat is better than Feixiang, and it can reach a speed of 5 knots with the wind."
Knots represent the speed of the ship, and Liszt is not quite sure how fast a knot is.
But he knew that the fastest ship in the Tulip fleet could reach a speed of 7 knots. It is said that the fast sailing ships of the palace fleet can reach a speed of 10 knots.
Kostow raised his head and looked at the sailboat with inexplicable emotion in his eyes: "My lord, don't you want it to return to the sea?"
"Do you want to pilot this ship again?" Liszt looked at Kostow with great interest, who obviously wanted to recommend himself, "But there is no sailor in Flower Town."
"It can be trained. I was a sailor at first, and I have been traveling on the sea all year round. I know how to train qualified sailors. If the lord trusts me, you only need to give me twenty people, and I can train them within three months." If you become a qualified offshore crew member, you should be able to sail in the open sea within a year!"
Liszt looked at him: "Flower Town doesn't have a suitable seaport, how to train the crew?"
"Yes, my lord, there is a place in Huahua Town, which is very suitable for building a harbor! The terrain is flat and the water level is very deep, and it can berth medium-sized or smaller ships!"
