28 The road to money is bumpy
After Luo Yi sobered up, she found that she wanted to make a fortune by making paper, and there were still many problems.
First of all, it is the process flow, the papermaking technology of BC is still very different from that of later generations, fortunately, she has also seen the ancient method of papermaking in the travel program on TV - although it is made of rice paper - she still has a little understanding of the papermaking process in the second half, and the accompanying cost list makes her also know what tools are needed.
It's better than relying on your own knowledge.
Then, another issue is the raw materials.
Bamboo, that's a fantasy, she hasn't seen it.
The ancient method of B.C. used hemp, firstly, with the pathetic agricultural level of Brad's territory, not to mention the peasants, even the retinue boys who were expected to be promoted to knights in the future, only had two changes of clothes, and slept on wheat straw, and secondly, if the cultivated land was used to grow hemp, the cost would be terrible, and it was better to spin it into hemp and weave it into linen than to use it to make paper
Sell.
As taught in textbooks, Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty improved the papermaking method and used tree bark, fishing nets, and rags to make paper. Luo Yi has never seen a fishing net, with the level of agriculture in this era, it will not be much, rags, I don't know if I can get together a basket after searching all over the Bullard territory, it is estimated that she will run out of papermaking methods before she experiments, and collect them elsewhere? Cai Lun is a great official of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but
With unimpeded passage throughout the empire, although Luo Yi has crossed over to become a nobleman, with the virtue of this era, she is far from safe in her own territory.
Hey, agriculture is the mother of industry! No matter how good your skills are, without raw materials, you can only stare at the workshop that has stopped working!
Come to think of it, you can probably try the bark, ah, why don't you indicate what kind of bark it is in the textbook!
Note may not work......
Not necessarily here.
Yes, she didn't recognize it, she knew that the raw material of the rice paper was sandalwood, but the problem was that she didn't know what kind of tree the sandalwood grew on!
Then she cheered up again, this thing of paper, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a thin sheet of plant fiber! Her handkerchief paper is labeled "100% Wood Pulp", and the flexible banknotes she uses are mixed with some cotton fibers. It is...... It's just a bad job, a big deal, a big deal to make it thicker......
It's really not good, the waste products that come out can at least be used to wipe PP!
It's spring, and the leaves of the plants are still everywhere, so rubbing PP is not a problem for the time being, and it will be winter...... Is she going to use pine needles?
In order to make a fortune with light bulbs when there was kerosene lamp lighting, Edison experimented with thousands of materials, and tried a kind of bamboo in Japan, which took several years to become a great inventor...... She Luo Yi, although she is not as smart as the great inventor, but there is a condition that the great inventor cannot reach!
It costs almost no cost for her to invent!
Cows, that's ready-made, you don't have to go out of your way to buy one. barrels, you can go to the cellar and find two empty barrels to deal with. Scoop the pulp spoon directly from the kitchen, so you don't have to buy it. The experimental assistant, a family of ready-made blasphemers, was kicked out of the village because of blasphemy, and could not contact the villagers, which could perfectly solve the problem of secrecy, Luo Yi only needed to give them food, and did not have to think about any salary at all.
There is no need to consider the freight, she has horses, carts and coachmen, and she is idle horizontally and vertically.
The house, the ready-made charcoal burner hut, is just a kang for baking finished paper, it needs to be modified, but it shouldn't cost much money, this kind of work has no technical content, it is estimated that just two villagers can do it, she didn't believe that the villagers were built by professional craftsmen.
Fuel, not to mention, the weeds and shrubs on the fallow land alone were enough for her to burn for a while.
After Luo Yi finished thinking about it, he was ready to start working.
Shepp was very disapproving of this plan, and instead of doing the easy and quick tax hikes that were available, he invested his precious money in "making sheepskin from tree bark", and did not know whether he could make it.
The demon king has been away from the world for too long, and the plans put forward are more unreliable than the other.
Follow her, and you will enter the ditch properly.
It's all forced by the bishop.,Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered posting a bad review to this unreliable demon king and asking Satan to return it.,It's that he wouldn't have bought it at all in the first place.。
The bishop was Satan's accomplice, and he thought indignantly, in a way, the pig teammates were God's opponents.
Then he thought about it, no, why did he follow the demon king? What matters to me is to make money for the church, not to run errands for the demon king.
Luo Yi, who had touched a nail, desperately used his brain to think about how to convince the priest, and then Shepp said that he was very busy today and was going to officiate at a wedding, so he would not accompany him today.
Was it Tom and Mary's wedding?
No, it was Jack and Tess's wedding, and their wedding was given when the Baron was there.
By the way, what happened the other day when Tom and Mary came to ask me to get permission to get married? Why do I say I agree that they are moved like that?
Then Luo Yi learned that there was such a thing as a marriage tax.
She deeply felt that she knew too little about the common sense of this world.
So why didn't Jack and Tess ask for my consent for their wedding?
They were appointed by the barons to marry.
There is also a designated marriage file?
How not? Tess's husband was a serf who rented a whole plot of land, he died, and the children were still young, who would farm the land when they were so old? Of course, Tess had to be given a husband - so the baron pointed out a nineteen-year-old single boy from a neighboring village to Tess who had a child as a son-in-law.
As for whether the two sides are happy or not, hey, don't forget that this world doesn't even have the freedom to die.
……
Luo Yi asked again, how old is Tess?
Is this demon king a duck, why did you come to so many gossip questions, Xie Pu thought with a headache.
He replied, xxxix.
A nineteen-year-old man and a thirty-nine-year-old widow, this marriage ...... Can you not tie the knot?
Shep almost covered his face in pain, this devil has no common sense in life, because he is not the same age, he doesn't tie the knot, funny! I don't want to think about the age gap between the baroness who married the baroness who possessed me.
Besides, the existing widowers are usually not young (because of the marriage tax) and have a tired family, so if Tess doesn't hire a single guy, can she farm the land herself?
Although she was a serf, her family was a serf who rented a whole piece of land, and after her husband died, the lord took a cow as inheritance tax, so she had to get married, and hurry.
Moreover, don't be in a hurry to suffer for Jack, from Jack's point of view, he can get married right away and don't have to save another ten years, which is not completely useless for him.
The big question is...... They already live together.
Marriage is a retroactive formality.
