Almost as soon as he left the Muller Federation, the city of Dyrill fell.After that, there were all kinds of big moves in the major churches, and the people didn't know what was going on, but the upper echelons of the countries understood.The Muller Federation chose to let the church search, but occasionally the local town hall would cause some trouble for the church, which was their old habit of ruling the theocracy.The Keynesian Empire opted for a rearmament, conscripting more soldiers, buying large quantities of food, and building greenhouses in major cities.There's a reason why the Keynesian Empire is the most powerful empire, while the Muller Confederation, despite its economic power, has always been a third-rate country.After that, the demon disaster broke out completely, all kinds of chaos, and the original nobles of Taipu Yilu died and ran, and some of them ran to Xiaopo Village.As a family of foreign nobles, the Bonova family first enlisted to join the local Provisional Knights, accumulated military achievements and promotions, and finally became the lord of the city during the war, and after the demonic disaster, received the official canonization of the emperor.Maurifio did not erase the role of the church, nor did he exaggerate it, but said it very indifferently.Speaking of Eldy, who was not interested in the Bonova family, he still showed a relieved smile at this time, and his face, which looked like an arrogant and bad nobleman, softened and warmed: The Bonova family has nothing to do with me.Morifio and Leon raised their eyebrows together, forget it, let Eldi go on like this.By the way, one more thing.Are you willing to build a long-term teleportation array?
That's a good thing that every city craves, right?
Eldi glanced at Maurifio, only to think that their teacher was becoming more and more unserious.How could such an important matter be remembered in such a way as to be suddenly realized?
Instead, they put the indifferent little things of the Bonova family in front.Well, it doesn't matter that the little things no, not the good things that every city craves.Morifio helplessly spreads his hands, and some cities see it as a theocratic infiltration, like our paper.What happened to paper?
What does Maurifio mean in his words that the promotion of paper did not go well?
This was a real surprise, I thought that the promotion of paper would only encounter the accident of someone snatching the formula.The situation is more complicated, and there are five types of people who refuse to use blank paper.A group of people who are makers of parchment, who are purely motivated by profit, have nothing to explain.Breaking his fingers, Maurifio said that a group of people were like the Muller Federium conservatives, rejecting anything that would put the gods in front of people.The last group of people are certain fanatics who pursue the primitive, not the radical kind, but oppose industrial civilization and most of the new things, including paper.Fourth, people who think that paper is noble and refuse to write on cheap plants.The last one is to follow the trend of other people and think that white paper is inferior to people who use paper.To make matters worse, all five of these people have a high social status.I can understand the other four people.But wasn't paper promoted by God?
When one person says to another person that I like something.It's true that it's likely that others will hear it because of various circumstances, but if you don't listen to me, I know you don't mean to say it, and you definitely don't like it.But the gods are condescending, and they explain their preferences in a downward posture, but there are still people who will make decisions on behalf of God when they hear the words and deeds of the gods?
The first time I knew of such a person, I was even more surprised than you.Maurifio looked at Leon, he knew everything in his eyes, but there were such people in this world and they believed that they were the most devout believers of the gods, not the church.Will God answer them?
Of course not.But these people believe that the gods are not living beings with autonomy, but a great consciousness, a living character of faith.I understand.This is an abstraction of God, and in his common sense, God is also like this, but this world is different from the earth, and the earth is a world that is not very scientific and later not very scientific.But this is a complete metaphysical world, but this situation is not already close to evil.
Teached?
No, they have kept their creed for generations, and in general, they are more likely to be corrupted than fanatics.
Teach demagoguery.And because of its high moral standards, it is often respected and emulated by the locals.I seem to have heard of this kind of thing, but I have only heard of it, and the specific religion on the earth, Leon's impression in his mind is too vague.Actually, I'm curious about these things too.Maurifio moved twice to find a more comfortable position in his chair, so he went out of his way to look up the history of paper, and it turned out that you were not the first.Maurifio and Leon: ??
Not the first to invent better paper, not as good as the one you invented, but there are always various improvements.While there are many people who intend to erase the past from history, there will always be some sporadic ones that have been handed down.Maurifio took a box from his backpack and handed it to Leon and Eldi, with a variety of non-parchment papers.Most of them are some kind of bark or grass peeled off and treated as paper, and there are still some obvious traces of plant veins on them, which cannot be compared with smooth white paper.From these papers, it can also be seen that people in this world have a stereotype of thinking, thinking that paper is a kind of skin (plant or animal) that has been peeled off, or leaves that have been plucked, and can only be written after being laid out.Leon looked at it: there is a reason why these papers have not been parchment.Some are brittle, some are too soft, and some are too veined.In addition to the problems that resist whenever new paper appears, the same problem is now arisen with our paper.Why?
Eldi didn't understand it either, our paper was very easy to use.Our paper is indeed very easy to use and cheap, but the real users of paper, those mages and clergy, their requirements for paper, for the time being, our paper cannot provide.For the rest of the people who use it but don't need it much, those five types of people account for the majority.The rest of the people will also give up using blank paper because of the influence of those five types of people.So, what does the church mean now?
Leon can understand that not long after the appearance of writing in this world, parchment followed suit, and it has developed to the present day, which is considered by many to have reached the end of perfection.Although the parchment seemed to Leon to be problematic, it was true that no one thought it was a problem until the blank paper appeared.In other words, if you want better writing conditions, then go and buy better parchment paper, those called parchment, which are actually leather paper made from the skin of Warcraft, this paper has a fragrant smell, delicate tentacles, and does not need to be enchanted to have different magical properties just after being made, and it is the best paper for making magic scrolls.It's not that the church thinks anything, it's that the church worries about what you're thinking.Things are good things, and they don't get spread because of various reasons, and you have to be patient.The first thing the alchemists of our church did after the catastrophe was to study how to incorporate certain magical plants into the papermaking of white paper, believing that this kind of scroll paper would be better than the monster skin paper.No, the white paper didn't spread because there was no printing press.Yes?
Because knowledge is still in the hands of a very few.His common sense knew that when papermaking first spread to the West, the Western Church still used parchment scrolls and parchment books to write and record, knowledge was still the private property of the Church, and the letters of the aristocracy were full of typos.However, they don't think that what they write is a typo, because except for the church, no one else even has a fixed text, everyone spells it with letters, and they think that they can spell it correctly, so that they don't need a password at all, and only by recognizing it can they understand what their own people are writing.This was my mistake, I should have taken both things out.Knowledge is expensive now, and it must be expensive, and those researchers in the Xiaopo Village Research Institute, the mechanical technology they have come into contact with, is actually not real knowledge at all.They know a lot of things, and they know what is going to happen, but they don't know why it's happening.The real knowledge of this world is magic, and that is when they, the real civilian boys who came out of the literacy school, would not be able to touch it in their normal lives.I don't know what printing is, but I'll be back next month, bring a group of people, and take the next group with me.Good.This time Morifio came, everyone in Xiaopo Village also determined who could and who couldn't.Those who can walk begin to prepare, and those who cannot go must start working for a long-term settlement even if they are resentful.Chapter 121 Tossing the printing press was not too difficult for Leon, he just handed over the concept to the research institute.Making a printing press is no more difficult than making a textile machine.Leon spent more of his time busy with Eldi for the city, and after the Demon Disaster, not only the surface terrain and landform have changed, but even the deeper geology has been completely different from before the Demon Disaster, and the place where people have been staying is not suitable for building a city.The month that Eldi and Leon traveled for a month can be said to be extremely willful, after all, everything has to start all over again after the demonic disaster.If Hope City hadn't been destroyed, those nobles wouldn't have left so simply, but now that Xiaopo Village is poor and white, there is no longer any hesitation.However, by the time Eldi left, Hogan had already been suggested that the pathfinder team had not only been sent out, but had also found an area suitable for building a large city.Organize people to go to the new area, set up initial camps, and then move people in that direction little by little.At the same time, mobile greenhouses, mobile textile mills, and mobile paper mills during the disaster also had to be rebuilt.Construction must continue, and all kinds of civil affairs must not be relaxed.The people of the city, from top to bottom, have to keep themselves busy as dharas.A month later, Maurifio was invited, and his reaction when he saw the printing press was to ponder: I don't know what this thing is for, even if it makes a cheap book, but who will buy it?
Modern books face the same problems as blank paper.Will you come back next month?
I'm not coming, no, I'm not leaving.Hope City will be my retirement home.Very well, then in three days, you come here again, Senchit will give you what you want.You sell those who give it to other cities.Senset was one of the first two institutes, and now he is in charge of the printing house.Three days later, Morifio received a batch of comic gachun X-figures.There are still a very small number of nobles in the city who have not left, they are either enlightened little nobles who like to live in Hope City, or they are very unpopular in the family, these people's cultural literacy is still good, and many of them are good at painting and writing.The manga is based on an ordinary peasant boy as the protagonist, telling the story of him who lost his family in the demon disaster, was rescued by the church, and then grew up to be a blessed knight in eight years.There are very few words in the comics, and even if you don't look at the words, just look at the pictures, you can understand the sadness, pain, fear, and hard work of the characters.Maurifio read the first volume, and then realized that today's books are all book first: what about the second book?
Next week.Sencht said with a cold face, not now.The original manuscript is not available either?
No.Maurifio could only go to see the other book, stating in advance that he didn't know it was a spring X map before opening the second book, and Senchit only said that this was the first volume of the two sets of books, and he subconsciously thought that it was another heroic war.As a result, the protagonist of the book is a masked nobleman who attends a ball, and not long after the ball begins, the nobleman is dragged away by a beautiful lady, and the two of them engage in various indescribable fights on the balcony, in the small drawing-room, in the wine cellar, and so on at different times and places.Maurifio licked his lips and put the book down.There's no second book for this either?
No.Less talkative, such as Senhit, at this time I couldn't help but ask more, don't you think such books are indecent?
It's nature, lad, it's nature.Most of the life on the earth, if this indecency is abandoned, then everyone will be elegantly extinct.There is nothing wrong with this act in itself, it is just that some people hurt others and twist it into something unnatural, even ugly, in order to satisfy this natural need.Thank you.Senchit's face was a little red, he was now a believer in the god of nature, but his understanding of the doctrine was still much worse.If you really want to thank me, give me the second book.I know, you must have.Thanks again, goodbye, don't send.Senchit turned and walked away.The teleportation array opened again on the fifth day after the last opening, but it was secret, and only a few people knew about it, and Maurifio went out with a cart of books, and then returned on his own.In the outside world, not only cities, but many countries have completely disappeared, and the territory of the Keynesian empire has shrunk by a third.There are also some countries that have shown their prominence, and in another ten years, when mankind completely recovers from the demonic disaster, the whole continent will probably be hot again, right?
At a time when all countries were immersed in construction, some pamphlets suddenly became popular.It was made of that kind of new paper, and it was only a very thin volume, and it could have many pages, and there was very little text in it, only pictures, and even the peasants could understand it.Some of these books are heroic tales, some are ancient legends, some are love classics, and of course, there are some things that are not inhumane.No one knows exactly how they came out, but by the time everyone reacted, they had spread everywhere.These pamphlets were followed by straw paper, which was much more comfortable to use than clay or hemp rope, but it was too expensive for the poor to afford a few copper coins to buy straw paper.A year after the disaster, there was a new thing called a newspaper outside.If those picture books can still be printed in the worst parchment booklets, it is easy to understand, but there was no printing before because there was no need for newspapers, and it must not be something that parchment can handle.What newspapers need is timeliness, as long as a week, as short as a day, and most newspapers do not need to be treasured, and can be sold or exchanged for straw paper if they accumulate more.The daily shipment of newspapers is not something that parchment can keep up with.As more and more newspapers were established, more and more people turned to the Church of the God of Nature to buy paper.When the paper of the Church of the God of Nature was in short supply, Maurifio said to Leon: The paper is fine.Leon shrugged, not saying anything as he expected.Eldy held her chin on the side, her eyes a little dazed.Eldi.Well?
There's water.What?
There is water in the lake, and after a while, there will be another big lake in our territory!
Eldy frowned and thought for a moment before he suddenly realized what Leon was talking about.Last year, just after the end of the Demon Plague, they went to see the large lake that had disappeared one by one, and Leon promised to give him a lake, but then there were so many things that Eldi had long forgotten about it.The tentacles aren't good at digging holes, so I'm only giving you a lake now, which is considered a birthday present that you were late for last year, okay?
But I'm only eighteen years old this year, and the gift for my eighteenth birthday should be more important than the one for seventeen, after all, it's the day of adulthood, right?
Eldi smiled and walked over to Leon, leaning back in Leon's chair with one arm still on Leon's shoulder.
