Although the nobles refused to use paper for writing to prevent the spread of knowledge on a large scale, this method is only temporary. As the spread of paper becomes more and more widespread, more and more regions use these papers. After all, some people will write on paper.

After all, not all scholars are nobles, and for those merchants, the appearance of paper has brought them great convenience. These merchants will not refuse to use paper to control the circulation of knowledge like nobles do. Pay more attention to profit.

As long as the price of parchment books is still expensive, then some merchants will use paper to copy them and sell them at a slightly lower price. Don’t think that those merchants dare not. As long as there is enough profit, the merchants have nothing they dare not sell. As long as they give money, even the ropes for hanging them will be sold. even more how are books.

It is estimated that the idea of ​​the nobles who want to block knowledge will only last for a while, and then they will find that the number of paper books on the market has been flooded.

How high is the cost of a parchment book? The parchment of this era is made of lambskin, and a complete parchment is a small lamb. And it is not easy to make a parchment, not all sheepskins can be made parchment.

When making parchment, craftsmen select lambs of the right age, usually two to three-year-old lambs, while observing the color of the coat. From experience, the color of the coat is pure and white, and the parchment will be pure and flawless.

And if you want to make paper with pleasing dark patterns, you have to choose leather with mottled fur. To ensure the perfect quality of the paper, it is also necessary to carefully inspect the skin for scars caused by diseases or parasites.

Generally speaking, it takes about five sheepskins to have one suitable.

To make parchment, you first need to soak the sheepskin in clean water and remove the hair on it. Lime powder or other things need to be added. This process usually takes three to ten days.

After the cleaning is completed, the leather is stretched on a wooden board, and the parchment is shaved with a knife. After a series of steps, a parchment is considered complete.

The lowest price of such a parchment is a golden dinar. A book made entirely by parchment may require hundreds of golden dinars, and this kind of parchment books are heavy, but the content recorded is not as much as paper books. It is only a matter of time before it is replaced by paper.

But so far, no merchant has done this. Maybe someone has done it secretly, but Suren doesn’t know yet.

After entering the winter, most of the activities of the North Wind Duchy stopped. The snow on the Northern Wasteland was very cold. At this time, the business was basically courting death. The monsters of stomach rumbling with hunger on the Wasteland are almost coming. Hungry crazy, they are more dangerous than ever.

During this period of time, Northerly Duchy’s trade was basically interrupted, and there will be about two months of snow covering every year.

So usually in winter, Beifeng Duchy will cancel the overwhelming majority outdoor work during this period. People who don’t need to go to the tavern to drink, go to the training ground to train, just build villains at home. Therefore, every winter of the north wind duchy is an opportunity for population outbreaks.

Under normal circumstances, until August next year, the north wind duchy will usher in a wave of babies born. Although the wind and snow blocked the North Wind Duchy’s two-month trade, although a lot of income was lost, it also gained an opportunity for population growth.

However, in this winter, Beifeng Duchy, although other cities cancelled outdoor work, but Zhenbei City did not. The design of Floating Void City has been completed, and various renovation works are proceeding in an orderly manner, so the renovation of the inner city of Zhenbei City The work was not interrupted.

Moreover, although Zhenbei City is in the north, under the influence of the harvest altar, the city is not very cold, and the transformation work can continue.

In the inner city of Zhenbei, after a few months, all the factories in the inner city have been relocated. For these factories, Suren deliberately isolates an area in the outer city with all the factories inside .

The palace with the largest area of ​​Suren has been moved to the outer city. The area of ​​Floating Void City is limited. Suren has decided to live in the North Wind Tower. The land saved will be used to build other buildings.

The first phase of the Floating Void City renovation project is progressing very smoothly. The first phase of the renovation is more concentrated in the underground, where the ground vein network will be laid under the entire Floating Void City.

The energy of the Elemental Furnace can enter all places in Floating Void City through the earth vein network. When the time comes, it has basically become a magic city.

In Zhenbei City, there are actually quite a few very good magic items, but as a whole it is still at the level of medieval civilization, such as magic lights, which have been widely used since the Arcane Empire. But up to now, magic lights are only used inside the major wizard organizations and wizard towers.

Except for part of the price, it is the energy required by the magic lamp. Compared with the electric energy of the previous life, the magic energy of this World is more violent and difficult to control. In addition, stable and continuous energy is not easy to obtain.

However, after the Elemental Furnace, the energy problem of Zhenbei City was temporarily solved. After laying the ground vein network, Suren could even build rows of street lights in the inner city. In his blueprint, the inner city of the element pool is more advanced than the previous life. After all, many times magic can do things that the previous life could not do with technology.

Magical energy cannot be used uncontrollably, and detailed planning must be done before use. The ground vein network does not allow any defects. This is a very large project. Suren and Hathaway performed a cost calculation. It will cost 10 to 20 million golden dinar to complete this.

Fortunately, Suren has been making money in various ways. Southern pirates have obtained tens of millions of golden dinar, and this time they have also made huge profits in the west of the continent. These are basically the same. The project cost of the first phase of Floating Void City.

The second phase of the project requires the use of Zhenbei City’s income. Zhenbei City’s current income is very high, coupled with the various ore output of Underground World and the output of Secret Realm, plus Suren’s from time to time. Some additional income is estimated to be sufficient for the second phase of the project.

The transformation of Floating Void City does not require all the money to be taken out at once, but is continuous, so that the resource pressure will not be so tense. The second phase of the project will build a complete set of ecological balance system and a living system of Floating Void City.
