Old Sword Master

Returning to the main plane, Wood returned to the prayer of the people of Ter Meng City for a safe and peaceful life, but compared to when he left, everyone’s worries about food and fabrics have become a little more.

“There is no supply of purple dyes at all, and some other raw materials are also sold for one hand.” Santaalali is obviously not satisfied.

Leandera silently handed Wood an account book, and she knew that Wood saw it quickly.

In fact, there are more wheat and grains in the warehouse in Ter Meng City, but even ordinary citizens feel that the small pull on hand is somewhat insufficient recently. Spanish and Austrian businessmen have a certain demand for Cretan olive oil. , But not enough to correspond to the goods they imported.

This makes everyone a little worried.

In a sense, they are right. Crete is indeed still in a very serious state of overtaking, while the wealth stocks of Gandia and Meng City are very limited, and the long-term outflow of gold and silver cannot be sustained.

And Wood also uses his contacts to subsidize Telmon. Wood does not pay much, but the trade imbalance of Spanish ships is guaranteed by the Bazin family. Although there will be no further guarantees, even the current accounts of Wood have more than The appearance of 3000 talers is quite a lot.

“Then let him wait. You can take a look at this.” Wood first gave Santaalali the purple conch snail breeding manual given by Lev “purple”.

After the female mage got it, she found that it was not the scroll that was a little bit disappointed, but only a little bit, her face was even more messed up with a smile, and fiercely kissed Wood.

Seeing the fleeting loss of Liandra’s face, Santaali’s loss almost disappeared.

Liandra was only a little bit disappointed. She then reported to Wood about the recent situation of Tel Meng City and the maintenance of the storm array.

“Director Bazin has given us a lot of help in the past few months, and many of the food given to the Inquisition by Spanish ships have been directly given to us.” The gray-eyed girl is very peaceful. Although she is actually in charge of the accounts, she I don’t want to worry Wood more. “In Meng City, there are more than a dozen believers who have converted to Lord of the Storm. At this rate, by the time of this autumn harvest, our number of believers will exceed 50%. “

“Must be careful, it won’t be that easy.”

“Well, I have found a few followers of Apollo who are too pious.”

“Closely.”

Wood was talking to Liandra while watching the Druid of the Moon Bear and the monkey work.

“The quality of this olive is not equal to me.” Smith and his Sam watched it for a while, and then said that Wood was somewhat prepared, not a positive conclusion.

“But you can use it,” Wood said. Rare seeds are not as good as current varieties, which doesn’t mean that seeds are worthless.

“It can be used, and it can be grafted and bred with our olive trees. Maybe there are better varieties than the current olives.” As a druid, Smith also understands this common sense, “but it will not be effective soon.”

“As fast as possible, there must be preliminary results within half a year, now, take a bag.” Wood gave Smith a bag of dates.

Smith hopped one of the largest dates for Sam to eat. After the monkey stuffed an egg-sized date into his cheek, his face showed a wonderfully satisfied expression.

He looked at Wood, zhi zhi again and handed over.

“They have been doing a good job recently. The olive tree has one third, all covered (set tào), and the cows and calves are taken care of (very tǐng) well.” Liandra said something to them. , “Some Spaniards are interested in these cows, which are slightly higher than the Bazin family’s bid.”

“It’s all that’s a little bit higher. The cow should be sold to the Bazin family.” Wood does not intend to expand the business of Benniu. The two calves were sold not only to collect money, but also to not increase security costs. “Has the cow breeding succeeded?”

“Not yet.” Liandra was troubled by this (very tǐng).

“It’s okay. It’s just a small subsidy. It’s not a big problem.” Wood gave Sam another small bag of dates, then waved his hand to let them go to work.

Wood and Santalili took a look at the remaining dates. This raw material from Tunisia (very tǐng) fits Wood’s taste. It has long sunshine and low water content. The sugar content is good as a snack, but after all, it’s almost meaningless. .

“After all, it can’t be regarded as a particularly good raw material.” Liandra ate 3 or 4 dates, and basically determined the taste of the food through the taste. “But in the next few days, it can be sold to the Spanish. The elite who came here recently There are a lot of food and core. They are willing to accept food as long as it has characteristics. Of course, the best customer is the pastor. This thing is good for the mind and body.”

Things that are good for the body and mind are absolutely good in the sub-planes where the property is scarce, but in the main plane with a clear division of labor, it is obvious that both sides are not good enough.

Druids and priests will certainly be willing to accept this kind of additional nutritional and tranquilizing compound snacks, but they will certainly not be willing to buy them at a big price.

“Could you try to make a small piece of jujube?” Santaalali thought of a trick, but quickly rejected the proposal. “Now the Sultanate of Tunisia is a protected country of the Kingdom of Spain, although it is said that the country is in a mess because of Spanish missionaries. , But date palms are still relatively common. Ours is better, but still not enough.”

Tea is born with a strong style, can be pretended, you can’t be a date.

“What’s the situation in Tunisia?” Wood asked.

“As for Captain Bazin, the big brother of Director Bazin, he said once when he came, some nobles have converted to God, and some nobles are very dissatisfied with this, and all the people are very dissatisfied with the nobles’ conversion to God.” Liandra Said, “Spanish pastors are not willing to teach doctrines to the general public at all and threaten them to convert.”

It sounds good for Wood to sell dates.

The purchasing power of the Spanish is of course very strong, but the date palm itself is just an ordinary ingredient, and the ones that Wood brought from the secondary plane must be somewhat different from the primary plane. There is uniqueness, but the quality is still not good.

“That kind of date will never work.” Liandra shook her head, “But Wood, you have done a good job, this time we have got many new church members!”

“Then Wood, we have insufficient funds recently. Have we collected some olive oil?” Santalali reiterated this unflattering proposal, “or raise the price of food in Meng City.”

“Don’t levy olive oil, and don’t increase the retail price of food for the time being.” Wood rejected Santaalali’s proposal.

“I recently inquired with a few mages on board. No amount of money will be spent on the Venice 4th Grand auction. The purchase amount should be used to buy Rare Item. This time you went out and hurt so badly. , Or the equipment is not good.” Liandra is very tangled in her heart. She knows that Wood needs to be stronger, but Crete does need some supplies.

“In fact, there is no need to supply food at a fair price.” Santaalali’s words are not without reason, but they do not see the long-term reason.

“Affordable food is a privilege, and stability is also a privilege. With privileges, we can unite people’s hearts.” Wood seemed to look at Santaalali. The female mage had some (desires) and stopped talking. Wood laughed, “Believers are ours.” The foundation is good, but the foundation is more beneficial. Sazastan’s research on Crimson Ice has made new progress recently. In a recent letter from Cassano, he said how to solve Nita’s current situation. There are no that many believers. It simply can’t be done.”

“How?” Liandra asked immediately.

“First of all, use refined gold to mix the best quality turquoise…” Wood said with a dumbfounded smile, still asking for gold, “I have already made arrangements for money.”

“Wood, Wood, are you back? Nita, Nita, is your big brother back?”
