Working Prophet.

Chapter 363 Salon and Comics
After returning from Black Rock City, Li Yu found a place to plant those acacia seeds, and hired two farmers to take care of them.

Then all the Hughes who were sent out before were called back.

No way, the surrounding lords are mostly wary of the Shuangxiu Cult. Even if these Hughes successfully sneak into their territory, once they start preaching, they will be discovered quickly, and then they will be invited out of the territory by the guards.

And this is still good, what's more, it will be attacked by the local Pishia believers.

Although preaching has always been a high-risk job in history, and there is no shortage of sacrifices, but now the weekend religion is short of manpower in all aspects, and Li Yu does not want any more large-scale missions among the Hughes downsizing.

However, although the people withdrew, Li Yu did not give up preaching, but adjusted his strategy.

On the one hand, continue to use the tried-and-tested method of delivering egg sermons.

Several award receiving points were set up on the border of the green field to attract nearby villagers to come to listen to the lecture. In addition, worried that too few people knew about it, Li Yu also installed a speaker on the drone, shouting from village to village.

Facing the three-eyed bird that was flying in the air and kept beeping, the defenders had nothing to do.

Once they drew their bows and arrows, those strange-looking iron birds would soon be lifted to a safe height, and Li Yu also intentionally spread some rumors, suggesting that those who shot the three-eyed bird would be cursed on Saturday.

In this way, the guards are not more willing to shoot, and even if urged by their superiors, they will only shoot on purpose.

In addition to the signature preaching method of the Shuangxiu Church, Li Yu also began to sponsor the salon of the Arias family.

When she first heard Li Yu's words, Miss Rabbit still suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

"You said you were going to pay me a sum of money so that I could eat, drink and have fun?"

"That's right, you are now a dragon-slaying hero, and the Arias family is no longer as unknown in the western region as before. It's time for you to communicate properly."

"Well, it's true to say so, but holding banquets and dances is very expensive. I have already advanced a large sum of money to replace new farm tools." The female lord committed another stingy act.

"Don't worry about the money, it can be paid by the weekend teacher." Li Yu said, "How about once every half a month?"

Miss Rabbit's heart skipped a beat, and her long ears began to tremble, but she still said, "Is this really good? Isn't it great to spend money over there?"

"Don't worry about me, my textile mill and paper mill are already up and running, and the new factory building is already under construction, and there will be money soon."

Seeing that the female lord was still hesitating, Li Yu added, "You are doing me a favor."

"Can I help you by eating and drinking?" Ilea's eyes widened.

"Well." Li Yu said, "If the Shuangxiu religion is to spread in the western region, it is inseparable from the support of the nobles in the western region. However, most of the nobles in the western region do not understand the Shuangxiu religion. Your salon is a window."

"By the way, I haven't asked you what a salon is yet."

"It's a kind of private gathering in the upper class." Li Yu said.

"Are we getting together to talk about Saturday, and you're going to come and preach to us?"

"No, there's no need to be so purposeful at the beginning, which makes people resist." Li Yu said, "Well, I will bring you a projector next time, and you can give it to the guests in the first salon. Let's play some small videos, such as our dragon slaying video."

"If anyone is interested in these things, they can ask you in private, and you can go into details, otherwise, just follow the normal noble gathering, talk about poetry, literature, political economy... You are the only lord in the western region who converted to Saturday , can already explain many things in itself.

Li Yu paused, then continued, "As for the guests, try to focus on young people, so that they can have more common language. It's best if they are the heirs of the family. It doesn't matter if they are not, as long as there are two to thirty percent of these people in the end. If there is an interest on Saturday, it will be a good thing to sponsor the club during the weekend.”

Miss Rabbit nodded and wrote it down.

Afterwards, Li Yu went to find Fitzwilliam and introduced woodblock printing to him.

The principle of engraving printing is very simple, as long as calligraphy and painting are engraved on a wooden board into reversed raised characters, and then ink is printed on the printing plate, and the printing is completed by covering it with paper.

Now that Li Yu already has paper, it makes no sense not to point out the printing technology.

In this way, not only can print teaching materials for schools, but also make comic strips.

Li Yu found four people who are good at painting from among the Hughes, and drew the teachings of the Shuangxiu religion into easy-to-understand comic strips. Considering the literacy rate in the western region, Li Yu asked the painters to use as few words as possible. The meaning can be expressed clearly only by the pattern.

Then the finished painting was handed over to Fitzwilliam, who was asked to make a printing plate, and thousands of copies were printed in one go, and they were distributed to the villages around the green field as a means of cultural propaganda.

At first, Li Yu worried that those villagers might destroy the comics, but in fact, after a week, at least [-]% of the comics were preserved.

The main paper has always been a luxury item on the continent of Bratis, and ordinary farmers rarely own it, so the villagers who get the comics generally cherish it.

What's more, their usual entertainment activities are lacking. This kind of small picture book that can connect page by page and tell stories is novel and interesting, and it is quite attractive to most people.

Many people finished reading the book in their own hands, and would take it out to exchange for the unread ones in other people's hands, and unknowingly learned all the teachings of Shuangxiu.

The effect was so good that it even exceeded Li Yu's expectations. Sure enough, vivid paintings are always more eye-catching than dry words.

So Li Yu continued his efforts and asked Fitzwilliam to print another [-] volumes and bind them together. This time, he also made a book cover, and the finished product looked even more exquisite.

Even the female lord couldn't help staying up all night to watch it, and after reading it, she still had to leave a hundred copies, planning to give it as a gift to the guests who came to the salon for the second time.

On the other side, the female elf Safli also opened the first shop on the green field as agreed.

Her location was about half a mile away from Teacup Fort. There were not many customers on the first day of opening, and they were all representatives of the chamber of commerce who had received the news in advance. However, all the products on the shelves took less than a moment. The clock is sold out.

The Chamber of Commerce that failed to buy it later was very dissatisfied, especially the white paper that was as white as snow. Many people were shocked by its toughness and lightness, and charged high prices one after another.

It's a pity that the production capacity of Li Yu's paper mill is still relatively limited, and some of the white paper has been used to produce comic books. Those who can't buy it can only wait for the next time.

　It's an update today.
