Ayron was angered by Kashya's knight Mia's jealousy of her colleague Luna Maria's abilities, and died an unexplained death and was ruined (see Chapter 15 above for details). Later, Mia suffered retribution and died in the underground cave, and Kashya was stripped of her knightly qualifications. The truth about Allen's death was naturally exposed. His family couldn't hold their heads up in the territory because of Allen's dishonorable death, but now that the truth has been revealed, the shackles that plagued them have finally been lifted, and they are naturally extremely grateful to the people who started the incident, the Xuanyuan Adventure Troupe.

However, whether it was the burial of Allen's body to save it from the wilderness, or the later revelation of the ins and outs of the incident and the restoration of Allen's reputation, these were all things that the traversers did casually, not in return for anything. Therefore, although Allen's family wanted to repay the favor, they couldn't find a suitable way.

Now that the Travelers have moved into Prailly Territory and run a sizable estate, Ellen's family has found a place to repay the favor. So Ellen's father arranged for his daughter Alyssa to come to the manor to recruit servants as a reward for his kindness.

After this incident was learned by the traversers, they naturally took care of Alyssa. And because Alyssa has the experience of taking care of her own shop, she is quite experienced in the settlement of money and goods, so she is naturally also very important among the servants in the manor. Therefore, after the people and the lord Kasha cooperated to run a new wine business, Sun Xiaoyu proposed it, Yang Qianyu and others supported it, and finally Li Xiang promoted Alisa to one of the housekeepers of the manor, specifically responsible for taking care of the manor's wine business.

At the same time, the Xuanyuan Adventure Group also recruited several townspeople with management and financial experience in Prairly Town to serve as stewards of the various properties in the estate, and to take care of these properties. And the chief butler in charge of everything is not an outsider, it is Elisa's old father who runs a small shop in the town.

……

The manor where the Xuanyuan adventure group lives, the villa study.

"Master Fu Bin, this is the list of goods sent by the carpentry workshop." Alyssa, who was dressed in a maid's long dress, gently placed the document scroll in her hand on the side of her desk, and reported to Fu Bin, who was buried in the desk to review and sign a dozen documents: "All the customized oak barrels in the manor have been shipped to the wine workshop, and the quantity has been counted, a total of fifty barrels and barrels are not bad, and the quality is absolutely no problem." ”

"Uh-huh." Fu Bin took the document and reviewed it, then nodded, raised his pen to sign his name at the end of the document, and then handed another document to Alyssa. "You can settle the balance to the other party, and let the person take this voucher to the financial steward of the manor to withdraw the money."

"Understood, sir." Alyssa took the file and bowed slightly, then took a few steps back from the table and turned to leave.

Just as Alyssa was about to leave, the door to the study creaked open, and the horse hurried into the room.

"Brother Bin! There was news from Brother Yang...... Hey? Alyssa, are you there too? As soon as Ma Jun entered the door, he began to shout loudly, but after seeing that Alyssa was also in the room, he immediately reverted to an ordinary tone of speech and asked in a friendly tone.

"Ah, yes. I'm reporting to Master Fu Bin. Alyssa bowed slightly. It seems that Master Ma Jun has something to say to Master Fu Bin, and I will leave immediately......"

"Didn't you say you don't want to be called 'adult' or 'adult'? It feels like we're old. Ma Jun shook his head, then took a step closer to Alyssa. When you see me in the future, I'm going to call 'big brother', do you remember? ”

"Ah, remember...... Remembered. Seeing Ma Jun approaching her, Alyssa showed a flush on her face, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "That...... I'll take my leave! With that, Alyssa lowered her head and flashed past Ma Jun, opened the door and hurriedly left.

Ma Jun looked at Alyssa's back, and muttered in his mouth: "I said that I remembered it, but the next time we meet, I will still use the old name, it seems that it will take a long time to correct......"

"Hey—" Just as Ma Jun was still struggling, a greeting came into his ears.

“？” Ma Jun suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the sound, and hurriedly looked at Fu Bin, who was sitting behind the table with his chin in his hands, looking at him with a playful smile on his face, and laughed a few times weakly.

"What you said and did just now can already be summed up in the category of 'sex ^ riot ^ harassment'." After seeing Ma Jun come back to his senses, Fu Bin said such a sentence coldly.

"Ah, that...... Haha, it's your misunderstanding......" Ma Jun defended a few words incoherently, and then hurriedly tried to change the topic. "That's right, Brother Bin. It was Brother Yang who asked me to come to you, saying that there was something important. ”

Seeing that Ma Jun was talking about business, and he had almost squeezed Ma Jun, Fu Bin immediately adjusted his mood. "Yang Qianyu asked you to pass the word? Is it a success? ”

"Looking at Brother Yang's expression when he spoke, it should be." Ma Jun nodded.

Fu Bin also showed an excited look on his face when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

……

In the manor, the storeroom behind a workshop.

The sound of "brushing, brushing" came from inside the storeroom, as if someone was turning something.

"Great! Finally it worked! A voice of joy came from the storeroom. Immediately after a flash of people at the door, Fu Bin walked out of the warehouse with a happy face, holding a thin and white paper in his hand.

That's right, paper.

Most of the objects commonly used for writing on the Iberian continent are hardwood, slate, or parchment. However, the first two are inconvenient to use and difficult to carry, while the latter is too cumbersome and expensive to work, so the study of knowledge has always been a 'privilege' that the aristocracy can have. As for the common people, it would be nice to be able to write their names and read the notices posted by their lords.

As a traverser, people who are accustomed to writing and reading on paper are certainly not used to using these crude stationery. Since there is no such thing as 'paper' on the continent of Iber, let's create it yourself.

So under the leadership of Yang Qianyu, everyone brainstormed, roughly figured out the process of papermaking technology, and began to try.

Most of the paper is made of plant fibers such as grass rattan or tree bark, which are widely available in the Praile Collar. But for the process of papermaking, everyone only knows a rough idea - the production process of paper is: material selection, water immersion, fermentation, cooking, bleaching, pulping, paper scooping, dehydration, drying and other more than ten processes. Depending on the quality requirements of the paper grade, the process may increase or decrease.

The general paper production is divided into two basic processes: pulping and papermaking, pulping is to dissociate plant fiber raw materials into colored pulp or bleached pulp. Papermaking is the combination of pulp fibers suspended in water through various processes to meet various requirements.

Pulping generally needs to store enough raw materials for several months, so that the raw materials can be naturally fermented in storage to facilitate pulping. Through the preparation section, the raw materials such as reeds, wheat straw, hemp grass and wood are cut into material pieces, and then the small pieces of raw materials are put into the digester for steaming, and the raw materials are boiled into pulp. Then the pulp is washed with a large amount of water, and the coarse flakes, knots, stones and sand in the pulp are removed through screening and purification. Then according to the requirements of the paper grade, the pulp is bleached to the required whiteness, and then the pulping equipment is used for pulping.

Papermaking, on the other hand, is to add various auxiliary materials to the pulp to improve the performance of the paper, then purify and screen the pulp again, and finally carry out water filtration, pressing and dehydration, drying of the dryer, calendering and winding, and slitting and rewinding or cutting to produce web paper and flat paper.

Just recalling the whole process of papermaking already feels very cumbersome, and the actual operation is even more troublesome.

The paper that was first made was very unsuccessful, and although the paper was formed, it was completely unusable - not to mention some small straw stalks attached to the paper, and the texture was no different from the hand paper of the eighties of the nineteenth century, and it could not be used for writing at all. As a last resort, Yang Qianyu could only stay in the papermaking workshop, trying to improve various processes, while urging the assembled leathermen, carpenters, potters and other craftsmen to cooperate with each other. It took two months to produce paper that could be used for writing without staining the ink.
