"Since this matter was done by the princess, you still have to go to the princess to solve it, this king can't control it!"

As soon as Mu Jingyi's words came out, Ge Zhengtong was stunned, and he almost forgot to cry.

Lord Wang, is it really good for you to say that your husband is sluggish so openly?

"Is there anything else?" Mu Jingyi raised his eyes to look at him.

Ge Zheng Tongsheng shuddered: "No, it's gone!" ”

"Then go about it as usual!"

……

"Little Joe, didn't you say you were going somewhere? When to go? ”

Mu Jingyi sent Ge Zhengtong away, and soon returned to their living hall.

Luo Xiaoqiao likes green, and the yard and corners are full of all kinds of flower pots, mostly wildflowers, which make people happy to look at.

"Is the prince okay?"

"Hmm"

"Then let's go, there's someone waiting outside."

Mu Jingyi didn't ask, followed her into the carriage, and the two clasped hands, looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he understood, isn't this a paper-making workshop?

In order to facilitate the cutting of foam, the workshop is close to the pond, surrounded by bamboo forests and various trees, and many workers shuttle back and forth.

However, Luo Xiaoqiao deliberately asked him to come here, he should have some other ideas.

"Princess, I have long heard that you are coming today, please inside, please inside", a middle-aged man rushed out from inside.

"Lord Cai, the prince is also here", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at him with a smile.

"Xiaguan to meet the prince", Lord Cai was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that there was another man coming down from the carriage.

"Lord Cai? You're not in the Ministry of Works, what are you doing here? Mu Jingyi glanced at him, a little puzzled.

"Master Cai is very insightful in terms of materials, and I begged my grandfather to ask him to come over and help for a while."

"What the hell are you up to?"

Mu Jingyi followed them to a larger workshop, asking as he went.

"Uh......" Luo Xiaoqiao touched his nose.

In fact, she has always had an unspeakable secret.

The so-called life in the world, eating, drinking, lazing, and wearing are all basic elements of life.

But can you imagine? The most basic need, "pulling", it is a very painful thing.

Because in this day and age, there is no toilet paper!

Yes, there is no toilet paper!

So what to do after the "pull"?

Luo Xiaoqiao has too much right to speak, because, in the first few days she came, she used "Tu Kela", and her family was too poor.

Later, after finally having some money, it was a toilet chip, that is, a wooden or bamboo strip that was less than 24 centimeters long and less than 1 centimeter.

Later, they started to use straw paper, but it was also quite expensive, and not everyone could use it.

She inquired on the side, and basically, the people with better conditions are mixed with toilet chips and straw paper.

Fortunately, this year, corn was introduced, an exotic variety, and many people used corn husks instead of toilet chips.

In short, it's hard to put into words!

Luo Xiaoqiao was full of yearning for the men in ancient costumes in the TV series, and now as long as he thinks about it, maybe they can't even wipe their buttocks clean, so they are Emmm......

Therefore, she thought about improving her papermaking skills a long time ago.

But helplessly, she really doesn't understand very well.

So she can only continue to find craftsmen from the people, let them research and improve, at the very least, to reduce costs, so that everyone has the ability to use toilet paper.

Since last year, he finally discovered this adult surnamed Cai.

Modern paper, on the other hand, can be made quite cheaply, and it is inseparable from mechanization.

Therefore, Luo Xiaoqiao provided a way to improve efficiency, and Master Cai was responsible for making the paper.

Today, it should be able to achieve a little effect.

The ancient method of papermaking is very costly.

Luo Xiaoqiao has been here many times, and he probably knows that it is divided into several key steps.

First of all, it is necessary to cut the bamboo and float the pond, that is, to soak the bamboo in the pond so that the fiber can fully absorb water. Plus plant raw materials such as bark mashed.

Secondly, it is necessary to boil the foot fire, that is, mix with lime water and soak it in a wooden barrel and steam it for eight days, and boil the scraps until they are boiled into pulp.

Then it is pounded into mud with a stone scoop, blended, spread on the bamboo curtain, and squeezed to dry......

And how are they doing it now?

Mu Jingyi walked all the way and heard the familiar roar of a steam engine.

There is a pile of wood in the corner, and some craftsmen remove the bark and clean it, put it in a slicer, quickly cut it into pieces, and then put it on the digester to get wood pulp, and then transfer the wood pulp to "paper medicine", that is, a mixture of various additives and minerals, and then make paper by Cai Daren and others.

As for the ingredients of this paper medicine, it is the hard work of Lord Cai and countless craftsmen.

"Princess, how about you take a look?" Cai Fushan handed over a roll of white paper.

Luo Xiaoqiao took a small part, felt it, and was a little surprised, "Yes, this is it!" ”

Mu Jingyi also took it suspiciously, and then he realized.

Mu Jingyi blinked, looking at Luo Xiaoqiao, a little unsure of what to say.

She has been busy for more than two years, just for this? With this effort, wouldn't it be better to improve the craftsmanship of the rice paper, reduce the cost of printing books, and let the people have books to read?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is a cash cow." ”

"Really?" Mu Jingyi was noncommittal.

"You think, as long as we sell it cheaply enough, everyone has to use it, right? How many people are there in Northland? How much paper do you use in a day? That's a lot more money than the paper sold to scholars. ”

"Besides, we have already found a way, and we will soon be able to use other papers, and within this year, the price of paper will come down."

"Okay, I'll see!"

The scenery here is actually good, Luo Xiaoqiao is in a good mood, so he simply dragged him to a picnic.

With King Jing here, almost all wild things are at your fingertips.

There were enough spices on the carriage, Luo Xiaoqiao set up a barbecue grill, and the two of them sat by the pond, eating and having fun at the same time.

When it got dark, Wang Jinqiao was about to go crazy.

"Where did this come from?" He stared at a roll of paper placed in the center of the table and asked the next person.

"The princess sent it, saying that you should try it first."

"Where can I try it?" Wang Jinqiao's reaction was half a beat slower.

However, he is slow, but it doesn't mean that Wang Sanhai is also slow.

He happened to have a bad stomach at night, so he ran to the hut vigorously, and took away the very good-looking rolling paper.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Sanhai ran in in a hurry: "Where did you get the paper?" How many silver taels is this volume? Hurry up and talk about it, it's big business! ”

Wang Jinqiao: ......

His Wuyi Pavilion has expanded I don't know how many times, and it has long since changed from a shop that only sells cotton clothes to a grocery store.

Almost all the big families in the north know that the things sold in Wuyi Pavilion are extremely practical.

So, when bundles of handpaper were put on the shelves, Wuyi Pavilion was once again overcrowded.

A bundle of silver for a tael!

It's not expensive! Big families are going crazy!

Even some civilians with a little money came over to buy a star and a half.

For a while, Xingcheng paper was cheap, and I don't know which person with a heart passed it out. Northland's trade has added another export product.
