This...... This is...... Papermaking?

Papermaking in Da Chu is not a secret, it is said that it is from the hands of the secret master, only in the palace and the palace of King An have output, yellow paper is sold in the people, a small amount of excellent white paper is used for political affairs.

Paper, very expensive, very scarce. Pure white thick paper, only in the palace, nobles, and official business, can have the opportunity to use. As a noble daughter, the ninth princess practiced calligraphy as a child, and she only used yellow paper.

Sir, he can make paper?

Yes, the gentleman must not look down on yellow paper. In this general's mansion, except for the general's recitals, there will definitely be no blank paper flowing out of Pingli, and what Mr. uses is only animal skin paper.

In fact, the quality of animal skin paper is no worse than white paper, and even better. But the animal skin paper is thicker and heavier, and it is not easy to obtain, if you write more, it is naturally far less convenient than white paper.

The ninth princess has extraordinary knowledge, and there is a papermaking process on it, which can almost be understood at a glance. This is the feeder pool, which is used for soaking materials, what is this crusher?

The more I looked, the more fascinated I became, the Si Ji had already come back, and the room with Si Wu was spotlessly clean, and the eyes of the ninth princess were still staring at these few pieces of animal skin paper, and they had already looked over and over again I don't know how many times. Fortunately, it is animal skin paper, if it is crispy yellow paper, I am afraid that it will have been turned over a long time ago.

"Huh?" Renault had just woken up and felt inappropriate, there were people in the room, and there was more than one.

"Huya?" Before he opened his eyes, he was called Huya, and he was really used to the existence of Huya.

"Sir is awake? Si Wu served Mr. to change his clothes, and Si Wu went to fetch toiletries. When the ninth princess heard the voice, she quickly stood up and said.

"Are you?Ninth Princess?" Renault saw the three people in the room clearly, patted his forehead, and remembered that he should be the ninth princess as a maid, and it was too early to come.

It's early, it's already noon.

"Huya, go to the other courtyard to find the chef and order her to pass the meal. The Ninth Princess spoke again.

Renault didn't make a sound, he watched quietly, and Si Wu helped him get dressed, and Si Ji presented a silk scarf soaked in warm water, cleaned his face, and brought green salt and willow branches.

Don't say it, this service industry is also much better than amateurs. On weekdays, these are all done by Renault himself, and Huya can't be pointed to, and it's common for that kid not to wash his face for a few days.

It's not over here, the dishes over there have been delivered in the food box, and they are all on the table, and Renault found that the original food culture of Da Chu is not as miserable as he imagined. The same ingredients, made in the princess's courtyard, are full of aroma and do not smell the slightest fishy.

You're welcome, since it's served, let's eat it. Renault took the knife and fork and started eating, and after only two bites, he felt that something was wrong, there were no chopsticks.

Before, when I was with the pack gang, I used a knife to cut meat and eat it, sometimes there would be broth, there were spoons, wooden spoons, and if I used it to find a piece of wood, I would dig it myself with a knife.

When I arrived at the General's Mansion, the taste of the food did not change much, in the southwest region, it was meat, and I basically couldn't see the green vegetables, and when I ate, in addition to the knife was a spoon, I saw a fork today, but there were no chopsticks.

Chopsticks are a good thing passed down from the ancestors, how can such an excellent inheritance be given up, it seems that the people of Da Chu don't know that there are chopsticks, which has to be taught.

"Huya, go and sharpen two sticks. Putting down the knife and fork, Renault shouted loudly, in fact, he was quite hungry, but chopsticks must be had, in the past, it was a full belly, but now it is different, Renault is a nobleman, naturally he wants to live like a nobleman, you are a noble fart without chopsticks.

"Oh. "Huya's point is the best, as long as Renault's words, whether it is right or wrong, whether it is understood or not, it will be implemented immediately.

After a while, two small wooden sticks are available, Huya's carpentry skills are a bit trendy, to pass the horn knife, trim it yourself, compare it twice, quite handy.

The chopsticks were there, and they continued to eat, the small wooden sticks flew over, and the dishes on the plate quickly disappeared into his mouth, including the tiger teeth, they all looked stupid, and they couldn't understand that the two small wooden sticks were more flexible than knives and forks combined.

It's amazing!

Huya didn't say a word, turned around and went out, and when he came in again, there were several more pairs of chopsticks, I have to say, the tableware handed down by the ancestors is simple and convenient, even if a fool knows how to do it at a glance.

A few stones were placed on the table, and Huya clumsily used chopsticks to clamp them, sweating profusely, but he couldn't catch a single stone.

Turning her head, the ninth princess was also using chopsticks to pick stones, and then looking at Mr., she was holding chopsticks and beans, beans are one of the few green vegetables in the southwest.

Mr. chopsticks made a clip, one by one, one bean, quickly into the mouth......

Eat enough, happy mood, Renault has long seen that they are learning to use chopsticks, this thing does not need to be taught by hand, and it will naturally be used more.

Renault is not worried that if they don't learn, the matter of chopsticks will spread sooner or later. He had already seen that Da Chu was not only backward in science and technology, but also the lives of the people were not much better.

Chopsticks are promoted, he doesn't need to worry about it, just think about the cost of knives, forks and chopsticks, as long as Da Chu Shengmin doesn't want to eat with his hands, and he feels sorry for the money to buy knives and forks, someone will soon be able to learn it, and it will be spread all over Da Chu in a short time.

Don't underestimate a pair of chopsticks and a knife. One person has a knife, how many people in Dachu have to have, and the iron used up must be calculated by tons.

And the technology here is backward, and you can expect the knife to be made of stainless steel? If it is made of iron, it will inevitably rust, and the consumption will only be greater.

Renault didn't calculate it carefully, but if you think about it, you know that after the promotion of chopsticks, the iron saved in a year can equip at least a few thousand soldiers.

He really thinks about this matter a lot, Da Chu is indeed not rich, but the people are not stupid, they can't afford to use iron knives, they can use wooden knives, bone knives, stone knives, and there are many materials that can be replaced, but the effect is a little worse, and they need to be replaced frequently, and those materials can't be used.

Wipe your mouth and hands, with the ninth princess and the two female officials, Renault's life finally began to be luxurious, and the quality of life instantly improved.

"Sir, is this papermaking?" asked the Ninth Princess, holding the animal skin paper, her eyes were full of little stars, this is papermaking.

"Well, do you understand?" Renault suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"I understand a little. The ninth princess said modestly, the writing is already very clear, except for a few of them are slightly incomprehensible, the ninth princess feels that anyone can make paper according to the process written above. If you can't make it, you must be a fool who can't be used.

I understand a little bit again!

Renault is quite sensitive to these two words, and always feels that this should be the patent of the traverser, why do Da Chu people also like to pretend to be forced?

First there is Tian Shouye, and then there are nine princesses, you all understand a little, how do you mix?

It's okay like this: "Since you know a little, then this paper-making matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and if you lack anything, you will go to the general to ask for it, and make it as soon as possible." ”

Forget it, regardless of who knows a little bit about who is more appropriate, it is serious to solve the problem of going to the toilet first. Renault still has smelting matters to deal with here, Zhengjue is lacking in skills, the ninth princess took the initiative to send it to the door, and you will do it.

"Sir, can I?" The ninth princess was surprised, since she was a child, in addition to schoolwork, what she learned was how to envelop people, how to tie the hearts of the generals, and she had never been in charge of this kind of thing independently, what a surprise.

"Well, look more, think more, try more. Renault pretended to be forced from another angle, and said with a straight face, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Sir, what is the use of the knives inside the shredder, and this gear?" The Ninth Princess is not an ordinary studious, but she forgot that the maid should not ask questions, but fortunately, Renault also forgot.

"Well, this is to crush the paper material, accelerate the decomposition of pulp fibers, and use the big gear above to drive the small gear below to run the cutter head at high speed. "Isn't it very simple, the problem of the nine lords makes Renault feel like he is full of economy and has learned five cars.

It's no wonder that many people like to be teachers, and being a good teacher should be a common human nature, and it is so cool to be able to easily guide others and see the adoring gaze in the eyes of students.

The Nine Princesses savored it, crushing, accelerating, decomposing, big gear, small gear, high speed......

A string of keywords, unheard nouns swirl in my head. Her intelligence is famous in Shengjing Luocheng, she has been guided by famous teachers since she was a child, and her knowledge is the top in the entire Great Chu.

Although there were several nouns that I had never heard of, they could be accompanied by literal meanings, and with the mechanical drawing on the animal skin paper in my hand, after a quarter of an hour, I had understood most of them.

In this era, learning is not an easy thing, even if there is a famous teacher, it is impossible to teach you by hand, let alone solve your doubts all day long.

The most common phrase I hear is: The teacher leads the way in, and the cultivation is in the individual.

The ninth princess chewed every word Renault said carefully, as she had done when she was studying before, and she didn't think about it, in fact, she could ask after it. Anyway, when Renault was in school, he could ask the professor to the point of madness, but he didn't dare to show unhappiness, the students were willing to learn, and the professor was not good at teaching? Believe it or not, the school board fired you?

Seeing that she didn't ask, Renault waited for a moment, shook his head incredulously, turned around and walked out, he still had to go to see the furnace, and he didn't know if the ore had been brought over.

In his eyes, the IQ of the ninth princess is worrying, and she doesn't know how to ask if she doesn't understand, such a student is afraid that she has no future. Forget it, people said that now it is only a maid, and whether it will accept apprentices or not will it be said in the future.

In fact, stupid is stupid, you look at the college campus, tens of thousands of students, most of them are stupid, very few are smart, and I haven't seen the university expel them all.

Renaud decided that when the ninth princess was by his side for four years, no matter how he studied, he would issue a hand-signed graduation certificate.

There are so many people in Da Chu, and in the future, you can always find a group of scholars to come out, teach them well, and let them invent things. What toilet paper, flush toilets, showers, water heaters, carriage shock absorbers......

Renaud subconsciously thought about a lot of things that needed to be invented, which had nothing to do with state affairs, these were all things he felt he had to have, sitting on the wooden toilet, there was a feeling that he couldn't.
