Chapter 501 Harvesting Glory
Su Ye nodded and said, "Very well. Then, I will provide the harness, direction, and funds. As for the plan and specific operations, I will leave it to you. Next, we will secretly try to manufacture new harnesses, and then we will make new harnesses in Plato. Tentative training is carried out within the college. Once the effect is achieved, the temples must be notified, and then rely on the power of the temples to organize a secret cavalry regiment. I believe that our acquisition has been completed before notifying the temples."
"Don't worry! The chairman will fully support this acquisition! I can guarantee that everything will be completed before the harness is handed over to the temple! However, I still need to discuss many details with you. For example, how to make the temple trust the harness And keep it secret?" Nidel said.
Su ye smiled slightly and said: "The eyes of the gods are long and bright. They have already seen that there will be a war between Persia and Greece in the near future. When we present the harness, it will be the day of the gods' joy and the full power of the temple." The day of cooperation."
"I ignored your relationship with the temple. However, it is rumored that besides the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of Wisdom, many temples are dissatisfied with you. This is also an important reason why those three stupid families dared to stop you at the door." Nidel said .
"Before the official statement of the temple, everything is just speculation." Su Ye said.
"Not bad," said Nidel, thinking.
"We will discuss the details in a few days, but besides the harness and porcelain, I have one more important thing, and to some extent, it may be one of the most correct things I have done in my life. "
Ned En and Nidel focused on Su Ye's eyes.
"Thanks to the temporary gift of Andrea and the blessings of the gods, I recalled many things in Lion Harbor in my childhood, and at the same time inspired me. I learned from others that in some places, the Fishing nets, bark, bamboo, etc. are crushed and stewed to make pulp, then made into a thin layer, and then removed from the water. With the help of various techniques, rough paper can be produced. Some of these papers are poor , not even as good as the leaves of papyrus paper, but these papers have one thing in common, that is, they are very soft. And this kind of paper has one of the biggest advantages, the production cost is low! Very low! Very low! Made of trees, bamboo, flax or even Some grass can be crafted."
Ned En's eyes widened gradually, and there was a strange color in his eyes.
Nidel asked: "It's good to have low costs, but can we make money?"
Su Ye smiled lightly, and said: "The next step is the key point. I will bear the cost of papermaking technology research! Once the research is successful, we will only make high-end brands, and then we will share the formula, technology and everything of papermaking technology with you. The whole world is open! My goal is not to make money from papermaking, but to make all merchants, workshops and temples feel that papermaking can make money, and then popularize paper all over the world at the fastest speed!"
Ned En slowly turned his head,
Looking at Su ye quietly, even in his fake eyes, there seemed to be brilliance flashing.
"Why?" Nidel asked.
"Why not?" Su ye asked back.
"Since it's a money-making opportunity, why isn't it in our hands?" Nidel asked.
"First, do you think I lack opportunities to make money?"
"...It seems that there is no shortage."
"Secondly, paper will become the carrier of this world beyond land and sea. It and words carry not only what we can see, but also experience, knowledge and thoughts that we cannot see. What we create is not a commodity , What we have created is another new world! So, Mr. Nidel, and Mr. President behind you, do you just want to earn more Golden Eagles, or do you want to create a new world while earning Golden Eagles?"
Nidel's breathing was slightly short of breath.
He hurriedly restrained his emotions, and said, dumbfounded: "Amazing, really amazing, worthy of being the king of the world. I, a businessman who is open to money, was persuaded by you. From my personal point of view, I am willing to do this with you, but never I can't fully agree with the Plato Chamber of Commerce's point of view. But I can guarantee one thing, if you pay for the research yourself, then our Chamber of Commerce will be willing to contribute manpower and material resources. I believe that many magicians are willing to do it, Ned En, right?"
The two looked at Ned En.
Ned En raised his head slightly, with a proud smile on his face, and said, "All magicians are willing to work hard for papermaking, because every magician understands how huge the impact on the entire world will be if cheap and practical paper appears. Influence. In other words, many magicians are studying papermaking, but they can't find the right way. Since Su Ye is willing to bear the cost, I can call a large number of magicians to join the ranks of papermaking."
"I love wizards." Nidel cheered enthusiastically.
Su ye and Ned En smiled at each other.
"The papermaking technology is matched with movable type printing. Because no matter how good the paper is, its value cannot compare with the words on it. The principle of this printing method is very simple, so simple that when I finish speaking, you will wonder why human beings are so stupid. It took me so long to discover it. However, printing requires a high level of craftsmanship, otherwise what would be printed would be only a blurred handwriting. Therefore, magicians need to be dispatched to refine the matching magic tools. Of course, the research cost is still borne by me, and Once developed, it will still be announced to the world.”
"My heart is beating faster." Ned En's face flushed.
"Imagination is beautiful, but there are only so many people who can read. No matter how many papers and books there are, they are of little use." Nidel said.
Ned En said: "Don't let your eyes stay on the past and the present, but look to the future. A hundred years ago, even the magicians themselves didn't realize that magic would be so great. And now, we can't realize that papermaking technology is so great. , Movable type printing, and a large number of books have an impact on a hundred years later. When the sun is brightest, it is never morning, but noon."
"Well, everything you say is right." Nidel said.
Ned En looked at Su Ye, and said slowly: "You bear the cost and shoulder the doubts, and you will surely reap the glory."
Su Ye smiled slightly, but he was a little surprised in his heart. Ned En's attitude was too serious, even more serious than lecturing in class, and he was very uncomfortable.
"I like movable type printing and papermaking very much. I am willing to join the team of magicians who study these two technologies for free, and I will also try my best to recruit like-minded magicians. Not surprisingly, Archimedes would like to study movable type printing Technology." Ned En said.
"Very good! However, we must study papermaking first, and we can study movable type printing after we get enough good paper. We can't use magic paper or papyrus to carry printing. Then, next, we have to go hand in hand, and at the same time Research and develop porcelain, horse gear and paper, and acquire horse farms." Su Ye said.
"You are making this world a better place. You said, you will do it." Ned En stared at Su ye with slightly weird eyes.
"I love a better world, that means more golden opportunities." Nidel praised loudly.
"Then, I'll go home and rest first. Starting tomorrow, let's make this world a better place together." Su Ye smiled warmly.
The three got up, and Su Ye suddenly said: "I almost forgot, my weaponry brand 'Dragon Slayer' will start selling in about half a month, and I am looking for agents. If the Plato Chamber of Commerce wants to obtain the agency, it is best Prepare a lot of money."
Nidel immediately said: "The same weapons and equipment as Sparta? Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price. I can be sure that in the near future, the Dragon Slayer will become the most famous divine power equipment in the world."
"There are magic tools, but it will take some time." Suye said.
"Cooperating with you is the most correct choice made by the Plato Chamber of Commerce." Nidel praised loudly.
"It is also my honor to cooperate with the Plato Chamber of Commerce." Su Ye said.
"I'll take you out." Ned En glanced at Nidel after speaking.
Nidel smiled and said, "I'll report to the president, see you tomorrow!"
The Plato Academy was quiet in the middle of the night, but the lingering aftertaste of the celebration party was still there, making the lush garden-like academy more heat wave than usual.
"Whether it's horse gear or porcelain, it's nothing, but papermaking and movable type printing...may lead to a huge counterattack." Ned En chose his words carefully and spoke slowly.
"So, I let the forces that may hinder me see the benefits. I study papermaking to fight against Egypt. Printing books is to promote the belief of gods. Therefore, I will dedicate papermaking and printing to the Temple of Wisdom. Then...published in the Magic Council. As for other people seeing and using it, it has nothing to do with me." Su Ye said.
"Okay, very good." Ned En praised repeatedly.
"Paper, movable type printing and books will definitely make the world better and better." Su ye smiled.
"That's right. I've been thinking just now that a world where everyone can read, write, and read will definitely be a better place than it is now." Ned En looked longingly at the night sky.
"In that world, there will be all kinds of shortcomings, but it is indeed better than now, and it will definitely be even better." Suye's tone was full of deep nostalgia.
"Your name will be celebrated forever," Ned En said.
"It's just possible." Su ye said.
"Yeah, it's not us who decide everything." Ned En sighed softly.
The two walked quietly at night, and did not say goodbye until the gate.
Watching Ned En turn and leave, Su ye walked out of the gate.
The familiar carriage approached slowly.
Kelton jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, opened his arms enthusiastically, and showed an extremely exaggerated smile.
"Welcome back, great hero of Athens!"
Su ye weakly accepted Kelton's hug.
"You've been going all the way, miracles all the way!" Kelton looked at Su ye with a lot of emotion.
"Stop talking nonsense, take me home and sleep first." Suye said.
"As you wish, let's chat in the car." Kelton said, making a gesture of invitation.
After getting into the carriage, the two exchanged their experiences over the past few days, and discussed the future development of the beauty of the dragon.
After a long time, the carriage stopped suddenly.
"Master Suye, your door is blocked."
Su ye got out of the carriage, dumbfounded to see a large number of neighbors standing or sitting at the door, like a party, blocking half of the street.
"Su ye is back!"
The crowd burst into laughter and flocked to him.
