Hit with a stick, then give a carrot.
Liszt did not exert much effort to do this. The world had vast resources, but the resources that could be controlled were limited and needed to be competed for.
On the Coral Island, if Liszt did not compete for resources and channels, he would not be able to develop.
Benevolence was for the common people to hear. Plundering resources was the essence of aristocracy. Obviously, the current Liszt was very comfortable with aristocratic identity and rules of conduct.
After reminding Sherlock, he put the matter aside and no longer paid attention to it. He had mithril, crystals, jade, and black pearls. Any one of them could be exchanged for a lot of gold coins.
With gold coins in hand, the world was mine.
There was no need to focus on one or two small businesses.
Carter took the empty cup of milk tea and closed the door. The study was completely quiet. The light of the three crystal lamps converged, and the room was as bright as day.
He opened the Knight novel and continued his writing until Carter knocked on the door again, reminding him that it was late at night.
"I'm going to rest, Mr. Carter. You should also rest early. Good night."
"Good night, Master."
Liszt shook the thick bast paper on the table. There was a thick stack of Serpentines written on the paper. Closing the Knight novel and putting it back on the bookshelf, he sorted out the paper he had written on.
Looking at the densely packed characters written with a goose feather pen, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
As a visitor from a civilized world, he was in a cultural and historical desert, and he always felt that something was missing. Therefore, he was going to write a truly great book himself. He had the idea of writing a great book on sociology before, but he had not put it into action.
Now he really started writing.
Of course, he was not going to write a sociological book like "Das Kapital".
He intended to compile a chronicle of history based on the history and customs of various countries involved in the Knight novel.
Confucius revised the major events recorded by the historian of the State of Lu into the Confucian classic "Spring and Autumn Annals", which influenced China's values for thousands of years. He himself had become a saint of a generation. Whether he was defeated or revived, he had become one of the symbols of China's culture.
After riding a dragon, Liszt felt that he had to have a bigger dream.
The Dragon Knight would only live for a hundred years. After his death, he would rely on the Dragon Blessing for a few more generations. After that, his body and reputation would be destroyed. Once it was written into the Spring and Autumn Annals, it would be able to influence the world for thousands of years to come.
Of course.
The Spring and Autumn Annals was based on historical records, so Liszt could not copy it. There was no concept of history here, not even a single history book.
Based on the content of the Knight's novel, he compiled history books. It was more like he was writing Homer's Epic. The Homeric Epics, for the most part, are adapted by Homer from myths, folklore, and street songs, but this does not prevent them from being touted as the greatest work of Greek civilization.
It was as if he was flattering the official history.
Perhaps after a few years, Liszt and his dragon would disappear into thin air. The world had developed greatly and experienced all kinds of changes. There would also be people who would treat the history book he was writing now as real history.
Inventing history?
That was what Liszt did, and he did it with great feeling, as if he was pointing a deer at a horse.
"It's a pity that there is too little information. Even if I copy the Knight's novel and make up stories, I can't fill in much of the historical gaps … I'm afraid this book will be my lifetime series."
He even suspected that the book he wrote could only maintain its popularity for three minutes.
After all.
Making up stories, no, recording history was very brain-consuming.
"Now this book doesn't have a name yet. I have to think of a name that can be passed down through the ages … In fact, it would be best to call it the Dragonlance Chronicles. The dragon and the Knight's lance are very much in line with the characteristics of this world." Liszt pondered. It was a pity that a Magic Shooter named Odom Truth had written a storybook called the Dragonlance Chronicles: The Dragon of Autumn.
That book recorded the species of dragons and had nothing to do with history.
So in his mind, names such as Dragon History, Elf Dragon History, Dragon and Elf Chronicles, Dragon Rider Chronicles, Knight Chronicles and so on emerged.
But they were all rejected.
Until another name came to mind.
"The Dragon Fights in the Wild …"
He chewed on these four words and felt very emotional. Confucius revised the historical materials of the State of Lu, and because the historical materials were divided into four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it was named the Spring and Autumn Annals. In this world, dragon slayers often occur, and the battles between countries are dominated by dragons.
"Dragon Battles in the Wild", such a title, had a very charming style.
Swish swish swish!
Lifting the quill pen, he wrote the title of the book directly on the thick bast paper. After writing, he put all the thick bast paper into the gem space to prevent it from decaying over the years. The white paper was not ready to be developed yet, and the thick bast paper would not be kept for long. After all, this history book was a lifetime series.
He resisted the ambition to continue inventing history.
He got up and stretched and left the study.
… …
Just a few days after Liszt was obsessed with making history.
Under the leadership of Burnell, the soap workshop was producing flower soap at full capacity every day. Soap and soap had been forgotten in the corner. Expensive soap powder and cheap pig pancreas were constantly refined, mixed, and pressed into pieces of pink and fragrant flower soap.
The finished flower soap was quickly sent to the Thorns Caravan.
Sherlock was a very thoughtful businessman. Old Grandet had become an official and Harpagon had taken over the huge Flower Caravan. Only he was still in the Thorns Caravan. He was not willing to fall behind, so he spent a lot of effort on selling flower soap, trying to become famous.
Let the Lord see his ability.
To this end, he specially invited a carver from the North Valley City – an advanced profession of carpenter, responsible for carving exquisite patterns on wood.
He asked the carver to carve a Tulip on the front of the soap, and then engraved "Flower Soap" in Serpentines.
On the back, there was a line of small Serpentines: "Flower Town specialty soap, the work of soap master Burnell."
Then, he also specially asked the town's carpenter shop to make a soap box containing the flower soap, with a black Tulip painted on it, and the name of the soap.
With such a decoration, the grade of the Flower Soap immediately rose several levels.
"In this way, the Flower Soap is not only a piece of soap, but also a product that represents status. I believe the nobles will like it!" Sherlock presented the beautifully packaged Flower Soap to Liszt for inspection. Unsurprisingly, it received very high praise from Liszt.
The Lord also called him a "natural businessman".
Excitement surrounded Sherlock. He could not wait to take this batch of exquisite Flower Soap and visit the nobles of North Valley City under the banner of Liszt.
