With the first set, there was a second and third set. After making five sets of sanitary equipment in succession, he stopped. There was no other way. The house was big now and there were many people. It was not easy to return to the civilized world. Some people did not want to experience the feeling of being locked outside and holding in their urine. That would be too unfair.
And it was not only the silver bearded dwarf, Uzov, Black Dragon Augustus, and others who were defeated by the modern toilet on Earth. Even the craftsmen who came to help decorate the house went crazy after seeing and using it.
The four basic needs of people, eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, had been the same since ancient times. And the toilet was related to two of them.
Thanks to the discovery of more and more ingredients and spices, people who sought perfection found countless possibilities and made great progress compared to the past. But on the other hand, although the appearance of the toilet was getting more and more exquisite, there was not much progress in its function.
For some ordinary people who lived in small houses, the solution had not changed for thousands of years. In the bigger cities with good planning, there would be public toilets in every area. When people needed it, they would either go directly to the public toilet or use a drowning bucket to solve it. After that, the drowning bucket would be brought to the public toilet, or in the early morning, there would be people who specialized in collecting night incense.
In some poorly planned cities or villages that did not have management in this area, the toilet could be directly poured into the gutter. There was no such thing as a drowning bucket or urinal. Find a place where there were fewer people and take off your pants to solve it. There was no such thing as hygiene.
As for some big families, the idea of connecting the fixed toilet directly to the septic tank or the sewer had been there for a long time. But the stench that flowed back along the pipe made people choose to build the toilet in a place far away from the main house.
Most of the time, if people did not want to walk a long distance to the toilet, they would use things like drowning buckets and urinal, and then the waiter would pour and clean them. Sometimes, they even had to do it themselves and deal with their own bowels.
But the design of the flushing toilet and the S-shaped toilet solved many problems in one go. Although it did not mean that there would be no need to clean it in the future, at least there would be no need to deal with feces and urine all day. One had to know that the drowning bucket and urinal with feces and urine would still smell if they were not poured out and cleaned.
To the craftsmen who came here to decorate, the toilet bowl seemed to be a magical tool. However, for the sake of his own happiness and comfort in the future, many magical devices could actually be overcome using traditional methods, such as making the toilet less magical.
However, if he wanted to do this business, he couldn't avoid the mage in front of him. At least, no one had seen the internal structure of the toilet bowl. He couldn't possibly break open a toilet bowl in front of a mage to see what was going on inside. Perhaps in the next moment, it would be his head that would be smashed open.
At dusk, the craftsmen finished their work for the day and came to Lin. They took off their hats and greeted him with trepidation, "My lord. That … "
"Yes."
The group of craftsmen wanted to say something, but no one spoke first. Just as Lin started to get impatient, the oldest among them said, "Sir, the toilet bowl you made, after using it once, it's hard to forget its comfort and convenience. I wonder if you are willing to sell me a set of toilets and sanitary equipment, or if you can tell me how to make them, I will make them myself. Of course, without your permission, I won't tell anyone about it. I just want to use it in my own home. "
Someone took the lead, and the others panicked and scrambled to say, "No! Sir, tell me, I can help you make and sell this set of sanitary equipment. This is definitely something that can make a lot of money. I am willing to help you take on most of the work, as long as you agree. Thirty percent. My reward is only thirty percent. "" No, my Lord! "Give it to me, give it to me. I promise I'll make more money. "
The group of craftsmen argued noisily. If they didn't know that the person in front of them was a mage, they would have rushed up to snatch him.
As for Lin, he couldn't get used to seeing a group of old men being wary of each other and shouting at him passionately. He hurriedly calmed them down and said, "Stop, stop. I roughly understand what you mean, stop and listen to me. "
The craftsmen quieted down and stared at a certain someone with bright eyes.
They cleared their thoughts a little. In fact, there was something that was very profitable, so everyone wanted a share of it. However, it was clear that these people hadn't thought about it in detail, and were just being hot-headed. Lin said, "It seems that you all think that toilets are good things, and want to do this business, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"But have you thought about how to do it?"
The craftsmen looked at each other. What, did they need a mage to teach them how to do business?
"Listen to me first, then think about what to do next. First, you all want to do this business because you feel that as long as you understand the structure of toilets, you can make them. Even if you don't use those magic devices, there are other ways to solve it. Am I right? "
Although everyone nodded, they couldn't help but have some doubts. For this mage to say this, could it be that there was some secret hidden in the toilets?
"You don't have to blindly think about it. I'll be frank, you guessed correctly. The toilets are indeed something that you can make after seeing it, the only difference is whether you can make it well or poorly. And even if it is completely unrelated to magic, you can still find an alternative. "
Some people's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this, but others looked worried. One of the duties of the Society of Sorcerers was to protect the knowledge of mages. But to be more precise, the Society only protected "magical knowledge."
If the structure of toilets was really as this mage said, it meant that they would not be under the protection of the Society's knowledge. As long as someone bought one and smashed it open, they would probably know how to do it and become a competitor of this business.
"It seems that some people have figured it out, and some haven't. That's right, the toilet business is a business that has a very low threshold for entry for me. As long as it's started, competitors will soon appear. Fortunately, the market will be very large. After all, this is something that can be used by nobles and poor people. Then here's the question, how long will it take for you to make a set of sanitary equipment and then install it, including the sewerage pipes? Three days? Five days? "
Everyone thought for a moment, and it was indeed so. Even if they called all their disciples and apprentices, from making toilets and other equipment to installing them, it would take them at least a few days. And during this period of time, how many competitors would emerge, and how much business would fall into the hands of others. It seems that it won't be so easy to make money.
"So I think that if you want to do this business, you don't have to fight over it. You have to unite. Use your collective strength to form a scale, open the market as quickly as possible, and build a reputation. As long as the things are good to use and the quality of the construction is also good, in addition to the fact that you started this business, you can naturally attract customers who would rather wait a little longer and spend more money just to make the things perfect. "
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never thought that they would hear such reasonable words from the mouth of a mage.
"If you really want to do it …" Everyone pricked up their ears, "… it's not like I can't help you. But I won't do it myself. Someone else will lead you. Um, Uzov, can I trouble you with this? "
The man who was suddenly called out was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, although I know this is a good thing, but I don't understand toilets. I don't know how to make them, nor do I know how to buy and sell them. Besides, is it really okay to ask me? "
Lin said with a smile: "I couldn't get rid of you before. Since you want to stay and be a dutiful cat's bell, then at least help me a little. Don't make me feel that keeping you around is abrupt. Besides, you don't have to worry about whether or not you understand. Have you ever looked at toilets before today? Since it's a new business, anyone who comes must go through the stage of groping. Besides, didn't you run a tavern before? What I'm interested in is your ability to make friends, not how much money you can make. "
"Ability to make friends?" Uzov Gantia asked doubtfully.
"Yes. One more friend means one more path, there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, I don't ask you to make as much money as you want. Whatever you make is mine. In the future, my focus will still be on magic research and teaching in the college. I can't spend too much time on this. Therefore, I have to give up this idea, or let others do it. "
After thinking about it, Uzov nodded in agreement: "If that's your request, then I'll give it a try."
The craftsmen should have been happy that someone was taking the lead to start a unique business, but they had a trace of worry in their hearts. In addition to worrying about the prospects of this business, they were also worried about whether this person's character was trustworthy. After all, cooperating with a mage wasn't something that could be easily decided. No one wanted to become a mage's money bag for no reason.
Looking at the silent craftsmen, Lin didn't force them to agree. Instead, he said: "I know that there are bound to be a lot of concerns if you join. But there's no hurry. Think about it carefully. Apart from writing a charter, I'll have to wait until I've finished modifying my home before I can do anything else. "
"Of course, of course." The craftsmen nodded and said in unison.
At night, two apprentices ran to Lin and asked in confusion: "Teacher, this isn't the first time you've made a toilet, right? Back then, the Tower of the Great Sage had one, and so did the home in Wulian City. Didn't anyone follow suit? "
Lin Huang sneered and said: "Those who haven't seen it naturally don't understand its value. I heard that the toilets and baths in the Tower of the Great Sage were considered to be unrelated to war in order to prepare for the opening of the Gates of the Abyss. They were torn down before their purpose was figured out. I went back to the home in Wulian City to take a look. It was even worse there. After we ran away, it was ransacked and the house was destroyed. What good things do you think will flow out? War and resentment can easily bury good things. "
