The task is easy to do.

Regardless of how much goods the town residents buy and sell, he has decided to let the castle purchase goods worth more than 3 gold coins.

Seafood has begun to make money recently, and East Coast has become a continuous gold coin production line for the castle.

His money bag successfully stopped drying up and recovered slightly, and now contains about 5 gold coins.

"Old Grandet, I came to you to tell you something. Tomorrow North Valley City's caravan will come to Flower Town. I will give you 3 gold coins. Be sure to spend all the gold coins to purchase anything you can."

Old Grandet is very keen. "Lord, are you going to use the charm of gold coins to attract the caravan to come back next time?"

"Exactly."

"Old Grandet understands and will definitely do this well."

"Well, you can go back."

"Yes, Lord, I wish you good night."

Old Grandet turned around and left. At the gate of the castle, he saw Bunir, so he said hello, "Bunir, has the lord also come to see you?"

"Oh, no, I made the soap and sent it to the castle specially." Bunir bumped the bag in his hand, "Is the lord looking for you because of tomorrow's caravan?"

Old Grandet said slightly proudly, "Of course, I am the leader of the castle caravan, and the lord trusts me."

"I really envy you. I won't say anything anymore. I have to go in." Bunir said goodbye to Old Grandet. Under the leadership of the valet, he entered the castle and came to Liszt.

He bowed respectfully and handed the soap to the servant.

"The soap is finally finished. I don't have to go to Coral City to buy those soaps that cost two silver coins for one Copper Coin." Liszt picked up a piece of soap and felt that Bunir's craftsmanship was good. It was not much worse than the soap Coral City bought. "Thank you for your hard work, Bunir."

"Working for the lord is Bunir's luck."

"I have one more thing for you."

"Lord, please give me your instructions."

Liszt said, "I heard about a formula that uses pig pancreas and plant ash mixed with these two materials. It can make a soap with stronger cleaning power than saponin. It's called soap." Pancreas doesn't sound good, so Liszt directly used soap to describe it. It's a new thing anyway, and no one is competing for the right to name it.

"Is there any soap better than soap locust? Lord, can pig pancreas be cleaned and decontaminated?" Bunir was surprised.

"This is the fact, but I can't remember the specific mixing method. Therefore, I will now give you the task of making soap. I hope you can figure out how to use pig pancreas and plant ash to make soap that can be used for bathing as soon as possible. After making it, I will reward you heavily."

Bunir said hurriedly, "It is Bunir's luck to work for the lord. Please rest assured, lord, Bunir will make soap as soon as possible."

"Well, don't forget to continue making soap. We can't run out of soap in the castle."

"Please rest assured, Lord Lord."

Smoke Mission's reward is very fast.

Early the next morning, Liszt received a report that the fishermen of Oyster Hamlet found a huge sea monster stranded in East Coast. The sea monster, Deep Sea Black Pearl, Liszt immediately understood and set off to East Coast.

At the beach, he saw a stranded sea monster, accompanied by a fishy smell.

"Sir, do you know this kind of sea monster?" Gortai and others rushed over early, but they did not know what species the stranded sea monster was.

Liszt Looking carefully, the sea monster is some kind of mollusc. It is very huge, at least ten meters long. It has tentacles, which are softly entwined together. Looking at its body, it looks a bit like a squid. It is spread out on the beach and has signs of decay. It is unclear what it looked like when it was alive.

He cast Magic Eye and found that there was no Magic Power flowing on the sea monster.

Strictly speaking, this is just some kind of marine animal, not a sea monster.

"Maybe it's a large squid, not a sea monster." Liszt fanned the air in front of his nose. The smell of rotten squid was very smelly.

"I wonder if it can be eaten?" Blair suddenly asked.

Gortai made a disgusted expression. "I can't stand the smell of this, let alone eat it. I don't think it belongs to seafood, it is a monster! Maybe it is highly poisonous and has even eaten people in the sea. I have heard of a sea monster that can entangle ships. This squid has 'hands', so it will definitely entangle ships."

Regardless of whether it is poisonous or has been eaten by humans, Liszt will not regard it as seafood.

Just throw away the rotten things.

But thinking that Black Pearl of the Deep Sea might be related to this large squid, he ordered, "Teacher Gortai, find someone to dissect this large squid to see if anything interesting can be found in its body. If there is nothing interesting, chop it into pieces and throw it into the sea to avoid creating a stench."

Gortai began to organize fishermen to come and dissect large squid.

Liszt rode towards the sailboat that was stranded on the beach not far away. The sailboat had several holes in it and had been repaired by carpenters. When the tide ebbs, it can be moved to the sea. After the sea rises, it can basically be sailed back to the sea... However, there is a captain who can steer the ship, but there are no qualified sailors.

"Lord, Kosto greets you."

While Liszt was admiring the sailboat, his Retainer Knight Philip and Xavier stopped a fisherman. The fisherman hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Kosto?

Liszt remembered this name. He turned the horse's head and said to Thomas who was following behind him, "Let him come over."

Kosto is a tall, middle-aged man with a dark face that has been exposed to the weather and weather. "Lord, Kosto would like to say hello to you."

"You've already said it once." Liszt looked at him, "Stand up and speak. If I remember correctly, you are the captain of this ship?"

"Kosto is deeply honored that your lord can still remember Kosto." Kosto stood up and said respectfully, "I once served for little Pappa I work as a lord and am the captain of Flying, which is a three-masted sailboat that can reach a speed of 3 knots with a tailwind. This sailboat is better than Flying and can reach a speed of 5 knots with a tailwind."

Knot means ship speed, Liszt is not sure how fast one knot is.

But he knew that the fastest ship, Tulip Fleet, could reach a speed of 7 knots. It was said that the fast sailing ship of the palace fleet could reach a speed of 10 knots.

Kosto raised his head and looked at the sailboat, with inexplicable emotion in his eyes. "Lord, don't you want it to return to the sea?"

"Do you want to sail this ship again?" Liszt looked at Kosto with great interest, who obviously wanted to recommend himself, "But Flower Town doesn't have a sailor."

"It can be trained. I was a sailor from the beginning. I have been running on the sea all year round. I know how to train qualified sailors. If the lord trusts me, you only need to give me twenty people. Within three months, I can train them into qualified offshore sailors. Within a year, they should be able to sail on high seas!"

Liszt looked at him. "Flower Town How can we train crew without a suitable seaport?"

"Yes, Lord, there is a place in Flower Town that is very suitable for building a harbor! The terrain is flat and the water level is very deep. It can berth ships of medium size and below!"
