Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Fourth Joint (Hu) and (You) Temple

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

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

"Suye, you can go through the back door today."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, and asked, "Why?"

"The door has been blocked by many people. There are small nobles, butlers of big nobles, and some merchants. If they are not afraid of magic, they have already rushed in. All of them are clamoring to see you, I hope you can put Sell ​​the excess temple treasures to them," Jimmy said.

"You go to Teacher Ned En immediately, and tell me that the time has come when you need him, and he will help me solve it," Su ye said.

"Okay, you'd better not show up." Jimmy ran quickly, and the long-distance running skills he had practiced for many years played a role at this moment.

Su ye used the magic mask he used before to disguise himself and left secretly through the back door.

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

More than six million.

"How about going to other temples with me?" Suye asked.

Alamo turned and walked away.

"Hey, I still want to talk about a big deal with the Temple of Apollo." Suye said.

"Which one should we go to first?" Alamo turned around decisively with a righteous look on his face.

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

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

After getting into the carriage, Su ye sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without saying a word.

"Don't you just want to pretend to be a tiger and trick me into walking with 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 brilliance of the gods is too low." Suye said.

"Go on." Alamo's eyes lit up.

"If you can teach more people to read and write, then let everyone have the sun god's books and stories about the sun god in everyone's home,

Everyone will believe in the sun god. "Suye said.

"I know you should have countermeasures, but I still have to say. Money is not a problem. You can even say that books are not a problem. The big deal is that magicians become coolies to make paper every day. The problem is, do you know how difficult it is to teach people to read? In this era, there are nobles who are proud of being illiterate, and laugh at those who can read as slaves, let alone some commoners. As for slaves, if it is not for their livelihood, they will not be able to read. There are not so many people who are literate, you even What's the use of filling everyone's house with books?" Alamo said.

"We want to spread the brilliance of the gods and please the gods forever. How can we shy away from this little difficulty? Let me ask you, one is to maintain the status quo and keep most Greeks from believing in the great sun god Apollo. Change, the second is to do something, you only need to pay a few golden eagles to make more people believe in Apollo, how do you do it?" Suye asked.

"I choose the second point, but, I think you're oversimplifying things."

"No, the real situation is that you always like to think too hard about problems. If we want more people to believe in Apollo, we can let them read books related to the sun god. Then, we lack two things, books, and let them know how to read , 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.

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

"Although there are old and stubborn nobles who insist on not wanting to read, more and more people are indeed literate." Alamo said.

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

"Of course it can't be changed."

"Then, do you think it's better for those who are newest to learn Chinese characters to know the 'Sun God' first, or to know other characters first?" Suye asked.

Alamo's expression changed.

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

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

"I played 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 had various ideas. I suddenly realized that if we can make cheap paper, if we can quickly print text on paper, then there will be many books? So, I thought and thought, based on seal stone carvings, I came up with a unique printing technique. As for papermaking, I have no idea The route, but as long as Plato Academy is willing to support me, I will be able to make cheap paper through continuous experimentation." Su Ye said.

"After a long detour, do you want our temple to buy books from you?" 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 back.

"Yes, I can't refute that."

"Is your temple short of this money?" Suye asked.

Alamo cautiously did not answer.

Su Ye answered for him: "Of course there is no shortage, but if more people can get the books of the Sun God, will the Sun God be happy?"

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

"I'm not only here to spread wisdom, but also to make money, both are correct." Su Ye said.

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

"Well, for the next period of time, in addition to preparing new tableware, I will devote myself to papermaking and printing. Once my cheap paper is produced, all parchment rolls, papyrus and wax plates will be eliminated. At that time, we will There is no need to look at the faces of the Egyptians."

Alamo nodded.

Papyrus accounts for a huge proportion of the bulk items purchased by Greece from Egypt. It can be said that the whole world is choked by Egypt in this regard.

But there is no way, the price of parchment and magic paper is too expensive.

"This idea came up 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. Thanks to "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 whole process of papermaking, I vaguely remember that papermaking is nothing more than crushing and boiling bamboo bark and other plant fibers to form pulp, and then find a way to spread it into sheets and dry it in water.

This process sounds simple, but doing it from scratch is actually very difficult, requiring countless trial and error and trial.

But there are magicians, dwarf artisans, and directions, and it's only a matter of time until cheap and durable paper is produced.

During the production process, craftsmen and magicians will solve all problems, and even use magic to create better quality paper.

Just like porcelain, Su ye didn't know how to make it at all. He only knew that he needed a suitable porcelain clay, fired at high temperature and formed glaze.

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

Su ye just knew a little bit.

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

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

After all, as long as the papermaking process is determined, all magicians and craftsmen have to do is to keep improving. Too many magic medicines can improve paper, and as long as the profit is enough, they can even make special magic tools, just like the volcanic furnace.

The only thing Su ye had to pay was a few words and the initial cost, as well as being questioned.

Before leaving the Temple of the Sun, Su Ye spent a total of 400,000 Jinxiongying to buy two 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 gods bestowed by the gods one by one. Not only did he donate 100,000 gold eagles, he also talked with the priests of each temple for cooperation, and talked with the hunting temple about improving bows and arrows. Talk about how to spread faith and sell books on land with the Temple of Sea God, talk about business cooperation with the Temple of Commerce, talk about the production of high-quality wine with the Temple of Wine, talk about preparing to establish a new corps to create disputes with the Temple of Discord, and talk about strengthening the power of Greece with the Temple of Harmony Resisting Persian aggression makes Greece more peaceful, talk to the Temple of Eros about contraception...

In short, Su ye used his three-inch tongue to keep busy until night before he slumped on the carriage feebly.

However, Alamo was not involved in the secret talks between Su ye and the priests of the temples.

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

"It's not easy for me to tell them about spreading the glory of the sun god, right?" Suye said.

"Then you let me stay with you, so that our Sun Temple will take the blame for you?" Alamo said with a dark face.

"You can't say that." Suye said lazily.

"You owe our Sun Temple a favor!" Alamo said.

"Really? I think it's a very successful thing to make the temple owe people. As for whether to pay it back, it's not up to me." Suye said.

"Sure enough, you are a bastard!"

In the middle of the night, Su ye sneaked back to the branch courtyard through the back door, and then entered Ned En's room.

"Look first." Ned En smiled proudly.

Suye immediately took over a big gold bag that was similar to an ordinary gold bag. It was worth more than 20,000 golden eagles, and it could hold a full billion golden eagles at most!

When he opened it, Su ye showed an expression of disbelief.

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

"Don't you know that the reaction of the butlers of the big nobles, the little nobles and the big merchants is like a carnival when the thundercloud shield is sold. In the end, they forced me to auction it at night because I have to use the daytime to raise funds or Looking for collateral. A set of Thundercloud Shield and Spear alone sold for 7.9 million!"

Su ye suddenly realized that he only paid attention to the value, but forgot the price. The value of this thing is fixed, but it can't stand the high scarcity. The incarnation of Zeus has not made Thundercloud Spear for hundreds of years, so the price is bound to be ridiculously high.
