"You ask Lord Ding? Her crystal soul is more special, it is a consumption...... Hmm, what should I call it? It should be said that it is...... She's consuming years to unleash skills? Yu Ge explained to Li Feiqiu while stirring the pulp in the pot.

"Is it a drain on life?" Li Feiqiu asked.

"No, you can see, her body shape has not changed, but her physical aging is real, as for her personality, she is moody, sometimes she is a child, but sometimes she is very old...... Especially after she used the Crystal Soul Technique, her personality changes more frequently and irregularly, so I call what she consumes years. Yu Ge snapped his fingers, the ladder under his feet retracted, and Yu Ge jumped off the ladder.

"Is there anything wrong with anything other than personality?" Li Feiqiu asked.

"Unfortunately, no, whether it is memory, or thinking ability, or concentration, there is not much change, only the personality is different...... Of course, because the data of her personality cannot be determined, the childishness she showed may also be played by herself, so that she may be able to relieve the pressure or something......" Yuge said, throwing a piece of paper to him.

"What's this?" Li Feiqiu asked.

"The cost of the transformed paper is indeed much cheaper than that of cotton paper, and it is more convenient to write than that kind of rough paper...... The only problem is that we use hemp fishing nets to make this kind of paper, the raw materials are too little, after all, these things are derivatives, as for the bark, we can't peel the bark for the sake of paper, right, in that case, the tree still has a way to live? Yu Ge said.

"Then I'll think of a way to find some cheap and easy to use raw materials." Li Feiqiu touched his nose, "In short, we have come up with something cheap, aren't we?" ”

"That's what I did." Fish song emphasized.

"It's my bill!" Li Feiqiu argued.

"Have you ever done it?" Yu Ge patted the cauldron, and suddenly screamed in the middle of his words, "Ah! It's hot! ”

"You didn't even fire this pot." Li Feiqiu questioned.

"Stupid, the walls of this pot are hollow, and the inside is full of charcoals, so that the whole pot can be heated, which is less time-saving than burning the bottom of the pot. Coupled with the blast chamber, the charcoal is fully burned......" Yuge began to talk about the principle with great interest.

"Oh, that's good, but I'm still going to say, it's good that I'm here, otherwise, when you're done, you won't be able to ask for this hand." Li Feiqiu said as he spoke, a faint green light appeared on his hand, recovering Yu Ge's scalded hand.

"Actually, it doesn't matter, my crystal soul technique is to control the equipment I made, and I also made a hand, even if I don't have a hand, it won't affect my normal work." Yu Ge said as she waved an iron human hand, which gestured as if in response to her.

"Flesh and blood are weak, and the machine is ascending?" Li Feiqiu's mind was opened.

"But I still have to thank you, although there are alternatives, but it is better to use your own hands, at least I know what the approximate temperature was when the charcoal in the wall of the pot was burned just now." Yuge looked at his right hand with satisfaction.

"It's too dangerous, it's better to use a normal pot, it's slow, but it's a lot safer." Li Feiqiu said.

"Heh, you're not white at all, that's what Karakuri does, and the new gadgets I made must be much better than those old things." Yuge slapped the iron pot and screamed again, "Ah! It's hot! ”

……

"That's it, our paper has been made, cheaper than cotton paper, easier to use than rough paper, except for the raw materials are not easy to find, others can be, I think, this paper can be used to make banknotes." Li Feiqiu said.

"Hmm...... I heard the fish song say, the raw materials are not enough? Princess Jiuping asked.

"Then don't be in a hurry to say, what are you using to communicate, why don't I know anything?" Li Feiqiu asked.

“…… Didn't Yuge give you a liaison? Ding Honghua was puzzled.

"Am I not there?" Li Feiqiu spread out his hands.

"Actually, it's useless, it's just a messenger tool, and it can only be used within a radius of ten miles from Yuge, and there is an upper limit to use, if there are too many people using it, she can't stand it." Princess Jiuping pointed to a fist-sized square on the table and said, "If you want to use it, you can come to my study to use it." ”

"Forget it, it's quite troublesome," Li Feiqiu thought about it, and he didn't seem to need it, "Let's move on to papermaking, on the question of raw materials, is there a plant that grows quickly, and that kind of plant should be fine." ”

"You mean...... Leek? Are you sure leeks are OK? Yang Ziyu interjected.

"That thing can only be used to make dumplings." Li Feiqiu's face darkened.

"Actually, you can also bake it." Yang Ziyu said.

"Speaking of plants that grow fast, except for leeks...... Bamboo should be okay, right? Ding Honghua couldn't stand it anymore and stopped their off-topic behavior.

……

"Bamboo, I can give it a try, you wait a minute." When Li Feiqiu found Yuge, she was scooping the pulp from the pot onto the bamboo slices and moving it to the yard to dry, and there were already a lot of semi-finished products in the yard.

"Then, I'll wait for your good news." Li Feiqiu said, and was about to walk outside, but was hugged by Yuge.

"Wait a minute, help me chop bamboo." Because she burned her hands many times in a row, Li Feiqiu suspected that she was suspected of experimenting with herself, so she didn't recover in the end, because she had gauze wrapped around her hands, so she couldn't hold him, so she could only hug him like this.

"Yes, yes, but is there no one in Karakuri Division?" Li Feiqiu thought about it, anyway, he didn't have anything to do now, so it was not impossible to do some physical work.

"Because many of my experiments are dangerous, that old guy Luo Jiu doesn't match me with people." Yuge was very aggrieved.

"Luo Jiu?" Li Feiqiu remembered the middle-aged man, Yuge should be talking about him.

"It's the one who has been sitting in the lobby, he's the head of the Karakuri Division." Yu Ge's words confirmed Li Feiqiu's thoughts.

"He doesn't look like a researcher, so how can he be the head of the department?" Li Feiqiu asked.

"Because he can get money, isn't that hard to understand?" Yu Ge raised his eyebrows, "In such a downturn in the economy, he can still get R&D funds from the Finance Department, isn't this a talent?" ”

For the first time, Li Feiqiu knew that in fact, if he could get money, he had already surpassed at least 99% of the people. Because he had no money, the things he thought of were basically useless, and in the end he could only rely on selling treasury bonds and land to make money. If there is another way, he is really reluctant to sell land, and sooner or later the private ownership of land will lead to land annexation, which is a common problem in the late feudal dynasty, and land inevitably flows to the big landlords and elites, and the social polarization is serious, and the social contradictions are sharp......

But these are not things that Li Feiqiu can manage now, if he does not sell the land, there is really no way to make money, and now the mainstream is also private ownership of land, and the modern system of state-owned land and the circulation of use rights and ownership unchanged is really impossible to implement.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later, it's an alternate world, why do you want to do so much?" Li Feiqiu is very optimistic, anyway, it's useless to be anxious, then don't be in a hurry, so be it, one day at a time.

"Oh, by the way, do you know where there is bamboo?" Halfway through the two, Yuge suddenly asked.

"I'm not a local." Li Feiqiu was shocked, "I'm just here to help, where can I get bamboo for you?" ”

"Me neither, I followed His Highness to Jiuping." Yuge is also very helpless.

……

"Hey, hey, uncle-in-law, I'm here again!" Yun Jiangyue has always been a very high-quality tool person, and he can always appear when Li Feiqiu needs him the most.

"Is this person mentally abnormal?" Yuge was a little scared.

"Okay, Baba, shut up, put down the bamboo, and hurry up." Li Feiqiu said, instructing the shipwright to unload the cargo.

After asking Ding Honghua, the two learned that Jiuping does not have a large area of bamboo forest, so if you want bamboo, you have to wait for the Ding family to send it here. Li Feiqiu thinks that although it is theoretically feasible to make paper from bamboo, no experiments have been done, so it is better to find some samples to try the effect first.

But Ding Honghua resolutely refused their behavior of chopping the bamboo of the Ding family for experiments, so Li Feiqiu had to call the tool man again.
