Chapter 214 The unexpectedly best-selling Porcupine wine

Under Liqi's comfort, Claude finally returned to his peace.

It was Claude's resentful gaze that made Li Qi feel a little unbearable.

After the episode, what we want to talk about is the commodity issue, and Claude needs more soap.

As his merchant ships headed to the territory of some island lords, the soap opened up the sales there.

However, the last time Liqi gave too little Porcupine brand aristocratic soap, and Claude did not have enough goods. A large number of the ladies and ladies regretted that they could not buy soap. They would rather not use it than use civilian soap, so Claude's task was heavy.

If we can please the aristocrats, the transactions on the island will definitely be smoother in the future.

So Claude's first goal is soap.

Porcupine brand aristocratic soap doesn’t make much money because aristocrats are always a minority, but the impact behind it is very large.

"You're here just the right time," Li Qi said. "Porcupine collar has developed several scented soaps, and I believe those picky ladies will find the flavor they like."

After receiving Liqi's promise, Claude smiled happily, and the resentment just now was wiped out.

"Aren't you interested in this?" Li Qi did not forget his identity as the consignee of the porcupine tie. He waved to the little secretary who followed him, and then took a simple bound paper from the other party: "It is cheaper than parchment, larger in quantity, and thinner."

The effect of paper is even far greater than that of soap, honey wine and other things.

"Sir" Claude shook his fat cheeks: "The paper you have developed is very distinctive, but... it is difficult for me to find a scene that suits it."

"The nobles are used to using parchment paper, and even if your paper is cheaper, the nobles don't have much demand for paper."

He understood what Claude meant.

Paper is useful, but not very useful.

The nobles could read and write, but they didn't care whether they were using cheap paper or more expensive parchment.

As for ordinary people, they don’t know words at all, and paper is of no use to them.

Knowledge monopoly, paper has no market.

People who can learn knowledge are not short of money, and people who cannot afford to learn cannot afford to buy it no matter how cheap the paper is.

"That's right."

He thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case.

Paper is used to record and conduct cultural dissemination. If you want to promote paper, the first step should be to promote education.

Li Qi has given up his idea of ​​selling to the public for the time being, and it’s fine if he can’t sell it.

There is no doubt that the function of paper is only used when you train talents by yourself. First, you can manage your own acre of three-point land.

"Those Yankees especially like your porcupine wine." Claude put his hands on his stomach. It was like a pregnant woman, and the smile on his face was hard to suppress: "After drinking good wine, I was completely uninterested in other wines. You also know that those long-haired sluts have a very tricky taste, a bad temper, and it is very troublesome to do business."

"The soap that is best-selling in Dongxia is only sold half of the North, and they don't like taking a bath at all."

In the snowy environment, the materials are relatively scarce, and the cost of boiling water and taking a bath is too high.

Moreover, the weather is cold, and even if you don’t take a bath, the smell is not obvious.

Li Qi asked curiously: "What is the environment in the northern border?"

Li Qi didn't know much about the northern border, but only knew that the temperature was very low. Except for summer, people had to wear thick clothes in layers after layer of thick clothes in other seasons.

Most of the time it is covered with snow. Although the terrain is wide, the population is the least populated area.

However, the power of the Northern Warriors is still famous in Lurea.

In history, there have been many cases of plundering from the north due to lack of food in the north. The soldiers of the north were able to capture several towns in a row within one day.

"It's all snow, cold." Claude rubbed his stomach, and his body seemed to suddenly become cold: "But the buildings there are very distinctive and there are some huge wonders. If you have time to go to the North, you may see it with your own eyes, but you may not like that place."

"I'm really interested," Li Qi nodded.

Maybe one day I can take the Eagle Knights team across the continent, fly from east to west, and then from south to north.

Experience the landscape of the entire continent.

Claude continued: "My caravan encountered the hairy barbarians when they last went to the north. They rowed the boat like piranhas surround the merchant ship, throwing ropes to climb onto the boat."

"Pirate?" Li Qi asked.

The pirate ship that I came to the Porcupine last time was parked in Pigtail Bay.

"Yes," Claude nodded: "It's too cold in that place and it's hard to grow crops, so half of the people there will choose to be pirates and rob passing ships."

"The other half is a bandit" Deni inserted a mouth.

"Haha, that's right."

When talking about other areas outside Dongxia, the pride and contempt that the people of Dongxia people brought with them rarely allowed them to unify their camps.

Although I don’t deal with it, we both stand on the upper level of the contempt chain and are noble people from Dongxia.

Claude continued to talk about his dangerous experience when he encountered pirates: "They threw out ropes with iron hooks, and the iron hooks grabbed the side of the ship, and they tried to climb onto the ship! My sailors slashed the ropes with knives, but the ropes were very thick, and one or two could not even imagine that those long-haired barbarians were not afraid of death at all, and they rushed up madly! I saw four or five pirates falling into the water with their own eyes. After a few thumps, their bodies froze and slowly sank under the water. After a while, they floated up and were dead.

Although my ship is larger and faster, and the sailors are wearing good cotton armor, they can't stop them at all when facing the fearless long-haired barbarians. A few people were killed in one contact. I knew that the sailors could not stop the group of pirates, so I ordered the sailors to give up resisting just to protect everyone more."

"You did a good job" Li Qi nodded.

Knowing that you can't beat it, the most correct option is to give up resistance and fight to survive as a prisoner.

As long as you are alive, everything has the opportunity to start over.

Claude said: "The long-haired barbarians are reasonable. After seeing that we no longer resist, they did not hurt us, but began to rob goods. I even saw some women and children among the pirates. The children were like crazy monkeys holding finger knifes, which was a place that people couldn't like."

This is the second time Claude said this.

"What happened later?" Li Qi asked, "Don't tell me that your caravan was robbed and silenced. Now it was not Claude standing in front of me. It was a ghost in the north."

"Of course not, my lord, the subsequent situation is beyond imagination."

Claude said: "The squads found the wine I carried on my boat, yes, porcupine wine!

I was carrying some soap, honey and porcupine wine on the boat. Of course, the main products were fur and cotton. Unfortunately, the goods were all cheaper. The group of barbarians were drunk on the boat, and then they found themselves in love with this wine.

They said that after drinking a lot of alcohol, they would get hot, which would prevent them from fearing the cold.

I saw a few madmen taking off their clothes and dancing on the deck. Porcupine wine has a special magic.

They were afraid that they would never drink this wine again, so they not only did not hurt us, but were even willing to pay to buy it. They just hoped that my caravan could often send the porcupine wine to the north, because of a robbery, I got a group of loyal customers there."
