The last to save the poor single priest from the noisy matchmaker was Luo Yi's Great Demon King.

The moment the ears finally calmed down, the priest couldn't help but feel grateful for Luo Yi's kindness for the first time since he came to Brad's territory.

But only for a moment.

After hearing that this old woman, who could lift a thousand ducks by one person, and whose hand strength was comparable to that of a bear, that he was a big man who couldn't break free for a while, was the helper that the Great Demon King personally ordered to recruit, the little gratitude that had just risen in Shep's heart immediately disappeared without a trace.

The devil's path is dark, and Shepp now agrees with that statement.

for he is walking with the devil.

The matchmaker's name is Mrs. Hansen, and her official profession is a midwife in the vicinity, because she knows some herbs by profession, and no one in Brad's territory knows more about wild plants than her, so Luo Yi immediately recruited her after inquiring with the servant about such a person.

Brush the prestige of the church to friendly (NPC is a cooperative attitude), and recruit a suitable helper, Luo Yi is ambitious, feeling that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, since everything is good today, then time waits for no one, and he will start doing it immediately!

There are some things that I don't know if I don't know how to do it, and Luo Yi realized how naïve and unrealistic his previous ideas were.

The charcoal burner's hut is just a small thatched hut, and the blasphemous family can barely squeeze into it, and it is impossible to stuff a workshop into it, unless she is a real demon king and can open up a different space to come out.

In other words, a new workshop had to be restarted.

That's not hard.

There are no strict requirements for a paper workshop.

a mill to crush raw materials and make pulp; a scooping room, where workers scoop pulp into wet paper; In a kang room, dry the wet paper and remove it to be the finished product.

As the name suggests, a mill is a stone mill that is used to crush the raw materials - a stonemason must be hired from the city.

The equipment of the scooping room is complicated: two shelves are required, one for scooping buckets and one for wet paper; There are also three buckets, which are filled with pulp, water, and paper medicine; a wooden chop used to mix pulp and paper medicine; The above is still simple, and what makes Luo Yi scratch her head the most is that she still needs a paper curtain.

This paper curtain is a key tool used to uncover the pulp into wet paper, which is directly related to the success or failure of papermaking.

This is a difficult problem, and the only way to do this is to try to find a replacement.

Then, there was another problem with the kang room.

No bricks?

Yes, there are no bricks.

Mrs. Hansen didn't know what the bricks were, or if Shepp had seen the world, and he told Luo Yi that he had seen bricks, but the craftsmen who could make them were hundreds of miles away.

The natives don't need bricks, just like the Qing people don't need pianos.

The bastions of the nobility and the churches of the bishops were built of stone, and the others lived in mud huts with thatched roofs, and only a wealthy citizen would think of buying bricks to build a house with precious money, which could not support the livelihood of professional craftsmen in the locality.

Adam Smith argued in "The Original Wealth" that if a blacksmith brings an assistant, then he can make a thousand needles a day, but if there are less than a thousand inhabitants, this kind of blacksmith must not exist, in the remote countryside, either a part-time blacksmith, usually a farmer or other occupations, only when the villagers need needles, temporarily raise the stove and knock two out, or a hawker who passes through the village every few days to sell needles and threads, and the consumption power of this place cannot maintain a full-time blacksmith. Not to mention bringing an assistant. Only in London, where thousands of people live, and hundreds of people buy needles every day, can there be room for the kind of efficient blacksmith to live.

Consumption stimulates production, and consumption inhibits production.

At the thought of having to produce even the bricks herself, Luo Yi couldn't help but feel sad, but she didn't have time to feel that she had become Robinson's second, and she had to cheer up her subordinates who were either resolutely opposed or didn't know what her plan was.

She took out all her acting skills and shouted in the most irrefutable voice: "Then build a brick kiln first!" ”
