　　 "50 pieces?!"

　　 50 silver moons are equivalent to 5 Jinxu. For anyone present, let alone take it out, even if you think about it, it is an unbearable huge sum of money.

　　 People stood up, craned their necks, and cast their sights on the dean of the nun’s convent who had just arrived in Muxi Town the other day but looked mysterious.

Todd's face was happy. The first reaction was that Rachel and Karin were very helpful. They calmed down and thought about it for a while. He can understand Karin's money, but why Rachel should invest so much. Rich?

　　 looked at the woman who was all over the nun's robe, the faint smile on the other's face surprised Todd's heart for no reason, and the scene of the dinner that day returned to his mind.

　　 Although he didn't know what Rachel was thinking, the vague anxiety still lingered in his heart. To be on the safe side, Todd thought about it again and again, and modified the rule that he said before: "In order for everyone to have the opportunity to buy, the sacred bones held by a single person should not exceed 10."

　　Rachel curled his lips, looking a little dissatisfied with Todd's backtracking, and nodded later: "Then 10 sticks."

　　 Taking a closer look at the dean of the nuns, Todd announced loudly to everyone, "Two nuns, each buy 10 holy bones. I will also buy 10 myself."

　　 Calculate like this, Rachel bought 10, Todd bought 10, Karin bought 10, a total of 30 holy bones have been subscribed, the next thing is much simpler.

Huggins and his "acquaintances" bought 10 sticks in partnership, Alfonso and his followers bought 5 sticks, Edgar and Jerry bought 5 sticks, and the remaining 50 sticks. The bones were bought scattered by the residents of Muxi Town.

　　 Todd took out the booklet from the church in front of everyone, and copied down the names of the people who bought the "Music Mutual Fund" and the number of sacred bones one by one. The last part of the "tea party" was the dispersion of routine affairs. After all this was completed, the priest hurried back to the church, looking at the coins in the wooden box in front of him, while thinking about the big plan to make money.

　　 100 silver moons may seem like a lot, but in fact, I really can’t buy anything.

The wages of a nobleman’s attendant for a day are about 30 bronze stars; a good meal for four people in a restaurant in Yinhuan City takes about one silver month; a good military horse, black, no miscellaneous hair, six With no history of illness and injury, the value is as high as 90 Jin Xu.

　　Converted with the currency of the previous life, the purchasing power of a copper star is about 5 yuan, and 100 silver months are worth about 50,000 yuan.

　　 What can you do with 50,000 yuan?

　　 If it is really like the "tea party" said, if you use it to develop agriculture, maybe you can buy a few cattle, a group of chickens and ducks, a dozen farm tools, and a half-carriage of seeds. And it will take a year or a half for the meager income to be obtained.

　　 This is not the result that Todd wants to see. What he wants is: high returns, small risks, the first profit in three months, and it is best to have a relationship with the water and soil of Muxi Town.

　　 That evening, 32 farmer representatives, including Sassoon, came to the chapel and stood quietly under the huge cross, waiting for the priest's arrangement.

Holding the Bible in his hand, Todd looked serious and serious, and said to everyone present: "As you see today, the believers in Muxi Town have raised a sum of money and are willing to lend it to you so that you poor People, first of all enjoy the blessing of Heavenly Father to "Muxi Town". For this, you should be grateful for it."

　　The farmers nodded and said yes.

Todd added: "From tomorrow, I will teach you how to benefit from Heavenly Father's blessing. You must be pious, not distracted, let alone spread it to others. Next, please and me Read out the pledge of keeping promises together."

　　 The so-called oath is nothing more than keeping a secret, and it must not be passed on. If you break the oath, you will go to purgatory forever.

　　 These words are posted on the Internet in previous lives. It is estimated that some people say more times a day than they drink water. But in the Middle Ages, it was the bottom line that one could not violate in one's life.

Early the next morning, Todd first approached Huggins and gave him the 30 silver moon in the "mutual aid", asking him to buy rose flowers as secretly as possible, and to buy healthy, unflowered plants. The more varieties, the more Well, it is required that there be no branch tumors and no rhizome scars.

　　 Although the opponent accepted the task, he seemed to stop talking. Under Todd's repeated urging, the man only said a word.

　　『If you are short of money, you can just tell me. 』

Todd's heart warmed. The reason why he didn't tell Huggins about the fundraising yesterday was because he knew that once the other party learned about it, he would definitely try to collect enough funds for himself. This was not his intention, so " The Muxi Mutual Aid’s matter was not mentioned to him before.

After a few words of relief, Todd went to the farmer’s shed outside the town and looked at the farmers and peasant women who had already been waiting outside. He gave the following task: The men went to dig a species called "Wild Rose". Plants; the women stayed and went to empty a large warehouse of hay in the town.

　　 Todd intends to use the money from the "Muxi Mutual Aid" to carry out a large-scale "rose graft".

The so-called grafting is a technique in which the branches or buds of one or more plants ~www.readwn.com~ are connected to the stems of other plants to form multiple plants coexisting on one plant. The former is called "scion", The latter is called "rootstock". To put it simply, there is a way to grow a variety of other plants on a plant.

　　 This kind of technology has been documented as early as the fifth century in China and Rome in previous lives.

However, in the Middle Ages in Europe, it was not until 1667 that someone submitted an article to the "Proceedings of the Royal Society": In Florence, there is a kind of orange tree that produces very special fruits. Half of it is lemon and the other half is orange, like two The parts fit together. However, after this report came out, it was ridiculed and questioned by many scholars and professors. Some even called this manuscript a "bad and boring scam." As a result, the Royal Society had to issue a disclaimer for this article in subsequent proceedings.

　　 And in this other world, not to mention the emergence of the technology of "grafting", even this concept, Todd, did not find a suitable vocabulary to match in Latin and general text.

Rose is one of the best options for grafting "scion" with a wide variety of species, high survival rate, strong ornamental and low cost. The wild rose grows vigorously, has strong disease resistance, and has good resilience. It is compatible with rose species. Similar characteristics determine that it is the best "rootstock" for rose grafting.

In the evening, Hudgens and the farmers returned from the outdoors. The former bought back three large rose flowers and almost wiped out the stocks of nearby villages and towns; the latter dug back a large amount of wild fields from the surrounding woods. Rose plants.

Todd put a dry cloth in the large warehouse where the sundries were emptied, raised the firepit, put blades, wooden sticks, clamps, formaldehyde solution, alcohol and other items on the table, and completed the "grafting" work. All preparations before.
