Working Prophet

Li Yu also knew what the villagers were thinking, but he didn't care, or it was what he expected.

Recruiting adults to study full-time is too wasteful of labor. It is better to train children, and the impact on construction and development is not that great.

In addition, the child can use it for a longer time after it is cultivated.

It would really be a headache for Li Yu if all the old people came to school, and he couldn't refuse the other party. After all, the spirit of living and learning is quite positive, but the problem is that after putting in a lot of effort to teach him, he can't do much. In this year, Li Yu is afraid that many of them will die.

This is a bit of a waste.

However, not many people could see what Li Yu was thinking, and Miss Rabbit was quite anxious for him.

Before Li Yu was engaged in egg missionary work, Ilea settled an account for him. Although the money spent was not the girl's own money, she was still quite distressed after doing so.

And when Li Yu freed up this upgrade system and threw out tasks one by one, the money wasted even more.

Ilea was no longer distressed, but started to look a little scared.

Although all the believers in Shuangxiujiao looked very happy, smiling, and enjoyed doing the tasks, they even formed a mutual aid group to help with the tasks together.

Li Yu still didn't care what this was called a private strategy group. The promotion of new farm tools is becoming more and more successful, and more wasteland has been reclaimed than before. But the problem is that this is all done with money!

Li Yu's Pinduoduo-style large-scale subsidy play, let alone Ilea, a rural lord, even in the universe he lives in, if you push it forward four or five years, most people will be dumbfounded.

I feel that it is impossible to do this for a long time, but now Pinduoduo is still doing well, and even getting better and better. Not only has it turned a profit, but it has also launched Temu, which is killing everyone in the United States.

Of course, Ms. Rabbit’s worries are not unreasonable. Li Yu’s double holiday education cannot be listed on the market, nor can it be raised for financing.

And the funds on his hands are also limited, but he really won't be able to last long if he just sits there and has nothing.

At this stage, Li Yu is unwilling to cut costs, so open source becomes particularly important.

This is also the reason why Li Yu established the Wealth Club.

The main job that this department will be responsible for in the future is to raise money for him and Shuangxiu Education, and support various activities of Shuangxiu Education, especially the operation of upgrading the system.

"So how do you plan to make money?" Ilea asked, "Continue selling dragon's blood? Or more pepper?"

"The dragon's blood must be for sale."

This thing is now almost the flagship product of Shuangxue Education. It not only brings huge economic benefits, but also makes more people know about Shuangxue Education.

Now even people as far away as the royal capital know that the magic medicine given on Saturday can restore men's glory.

If it weren't for the fact that it was so far away, there would probably be many people who would want to join Shuangxiujiu based on this alone.

Moreover, these small blue pills are also very light and easy to carry. Of course, Li Yu will not give up. He plans to bring another two hundred pills in the near future.

But just relying on him to sell things from another universe to subsidize his two-week vacation is not a long-term solution.

If you want the healthy development of double-holiday education, firstly, you must have your own armed forces, and secondly, you must have strong economic support, both of which are indispensable.

Li Yu said to the female lord, "In addition to the dragon's blood, I also plan to do some textile business next."

"Textiles?" Miss Rabbit was startled again.

Not because the answer is too bizarre, but because the answer is too ordinary.

The more common textiles in the Western Region are linen and woolen fabrics, with the former occupying a dominant position. Most civilians wear linen clothes.

Wool fabrics are relatively rare and usually only wealthy people can afford them. In addition, nobles also wear cotton coats and silk robes.

Cotton was only introduced to the Bratis continent in the past two to three hundred years, and clothes woven from it are much more comfortable to wear than linen.

However, cotton has relatively high requirements for the planting environment. It must be planted in a place with sufficient light, water and warmth. Only the territories of the nobles in the Golden Valley meet these planting conditions.

They have also made a lot of money from this magical white-flowered plant. As for silk, it is not something on the Bratis continent at all. It can only be brought here by caravans from the east, so the price has always been very expensive.

An absolute luxury.

Ilea thought for a while, "Are you planning to weave cotton or silk?"

"I can't knit." Li Yu shook his head.

To be precise, Li Yu could weave cotton or silk, especially the latter. The secret of silk has puzzled Europe for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, many Europeans believed that silk grew from trees.

But as a modern person and a Chinese, how could Li Yu not know where silk came from?

But even if he knew, it was useless. Due to the rules, he couldn't bring living creatures from another universe to this place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to work so hard on ploughs, columbuses, and four-field rotation.

As long as we bring over modern wheat and rice, and some potatoes and sweet potatoes, we can just wait for the population explosion.

However, if the raw materials cannot be obtained for a while, the development of the processing industry will not be delayed.

This time, Li Yu planned to use the pedal-operated loom, one of the most deadly weapons for time travellers.

This thing has a high appearance rate in time-travel novels, probably because the efficiency from the spinning wheel to the pedal-operated loom is indeed a leap, and in terms of manufacturing technology alone, it is indeed not difficult to reproduce.

The only problem is that most people don't remember the structure and working principle of a textile machine when they have nothing to do.

Anyway, if Li Yu suddenly traveled back to ancient times, it would be basically impossible to build a textile loom.

He asked Zhang Yanlin to help him find the structural diagram from the Internet, disassembled each part, and marked the assembly process clearly, and then threw the design drawing to Fitzwilliam.

The latter devoted himself to shipbuilding and worked hard for four or five days, and another ten days or so before he built the first textile machine.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you have the first one, it will be much faster to build it later, and the raw materials are also very cheap. Li Yu asked Fitzwilliam to build a hundred units first, and then recruit some female workers to come over for simple training, and then work can start.

It mainly produces linen, because the market demand for linen is large, and linen is also abundant in the Western Region, which allows workers to brush up on their proficiency first.

Miss Rabbit saw that the two-day teaching was in full swing, but she was a little uninterested. The main reason was that the linen was too ordinary, and she always felt that she could not make much money.

But soon Li Yu started another new business, and this business was actually related to flax. Li Yu could even use the broken cloth, without wasting it at all.
