"Also, Tess, if you go to town tomorrow, if you have paper, buy some paper and bring it back. I'm useful."
Tess hesitated: "Sir, paper is too expensive, and it's all in the hands of the nobility."
Jiang Chan said, "great, how can I forget this stubble! Thank you for reminding me!"
She forgot this. She can make it herself without paper. Jiang Chan remembers that she has seen a small video of papermaking. It's as good as it is now, but at least there should be no problem writing?
Tess and snow looked at each other, and they shrugged their shoulders. They didn't understand why Jiang Chan was so happy.
Only van Nuo asked tentatively, "Sir, can you make paper?"
Jiang Chan nodded: "I've seen others do it. Whether it works or not, let's try it ourselves first. If we can make paper ourselves..."
Tess opened his mouth: "Miss, you can make candles, sugar and paper. What can't you do?"
Jiang Chan broke her fingers: "there are many people who can't. where can people know everything? Start preparing for papermaking today. Come and help me while you're not busy now."
"My Lord, that's good?" Jiang Chan instructed everyone to bundle the bark and straw into small bundles and soak them in the river. They blinked and looked at Jiang Chan with confused eyes.
Jiang Chan clapped his hands: "this is only the first step. There are many raw materials for papermaking, such as bamboo, bark, straw, wheat straw, etc. These can be used for papermaking. No matter what raw materials are selected, their first step is to soak them first."
"Like bark and bamboo, they need to be soaked for at least 15 days. The rest of the materials can be soaked for a shorter time. This is to dissolve the soluble magazines in these raw materials, so that the quality of the pulp is better."
"Are these straw and straw soaked for a shorter time?" Van Nuo should be the fastest brain in this. "How long do these straw need to be soaked?"
"These will take ten days? But the paper they make is soft, so it is unlikely to write. At most, it can be used as household paper, such as toilet paper and so on."
"That's very good. If these are sold to the nobility, we'll make it in phillin county." all the foxes were refreshed and deeply felt that it was good to follow Jiang Chan.
"Well, soak more this time, and we'll do more experiments. I just see that others have done it, but I haven't done it myself."
At the command of Jiang Chan, the foxes dispersed separately. Anyway, the river is so big that there is not much for one person to put a bundle.
The next day Tess and snow led more than 20 foxes to buy food. Now the Lord's house is poor and has no food or output at all. These are the pockets of Jiang Chan himself.
But it doesn't matter. She doesn't need money now. Even if she keeps the leaders and people, she can afford it! The most important thing she has done now is to lay a good foundation for the early stage of ferring County, which is estimated to take a year and a half.
Fortunately, when they first came, they brought a lot of food. Coupled with the nearby rivers and hills, where there are fish and prey, everyone's life is also going to live.
Van Nuo and others knew the general situation when they went out to count the population. Now Jiang Chan needs talents. He took the foxes out for three days and soon equipped Jiang Chan with them.
In addition to all kinds of craftsmen she needs, the rest are young adults selected by Van Nuo. It's just that these people are yellow and skinny. They look pathetic.
Among these people, van Nuo also found five cooks, who are said to have good skills. Jiang Chan took a look at him. Unexpectedly, the boy could figure out what he wanted.
"The craftsmen stand on my right hand. I have something to discuss with you. As for you, help me build a house first." Jiang Chan took out a drawing from the ring, which showed her plan for Feilin county.
"Who is the carpenter?" Jiang Chan asked, and a cow Orc in his sixties came out. Jiang Chan handed him the drawing. "See if you can build this house?"
Peter, the old carpenter, looked at it for a long time before he said, "Lord sacrifice, this house can be built."
Jiang Chan said with satisfaction, "OK, just take them to do this. Be sure to build these houses in half a month."
"This is for your young people," Jiang Chan looked at Van Nuo. "By the way, you can find those who can climb trees in the territory, regardless of size. I need them to help me get down the white wax insect eggs on the white wax tree. It's of great use to me."
"My Lord, cat orcs are the most suitable for such work, and there are the most cat orcs in the territory." Van Nuo thought and put forward such a suggestion.
"Yes, you are responsible for recruiting people. When they arrive, I'll tell them how to pick the eggs of wax worm. The time is very urgent. You can start in the afternoon."
"Also, Peter carpenter, build a room as soon as possible. I'll use it to put insect eggs."
Arranging things one by one, Jiang Chan is busy and bald. Now it's spring ploughing. She wants to take advantage of this time to plant sugar beets in a large area in the territory and be busy raising ash insects.
Just as she was busy without touching the ground, Tess came to remind her: "my Lord, the straw has been soaked for ten days."
Now it is estimated that Tess and the fox are the ones who care most about those. They look at it almost every day and count their time every moment.
Jiang Chan also put it in her heart. At present, it seems that only papermaking is the fastest way to get money? The rest, whether sugar or candles, will take at least a year or so.
"I remember, did you find the plant ash you were looking for?"
"Found it." Tess and van Nuo followed Jiang Chan step by step. They are now Jiang Chan's right-hand men. The main reason is that both of them are very smart and have a vivid mind.
"We have brought back the straw and put it in the garden."
"Boil them first and use the big pot." Jiang Chan stood aside and commanded the fox to start. These foxes always pay attention to papermaking. Seeing that Jiang Chan is about to start, they all enthusiastically sign up.
"Here's the plant ash you want, miss." Tess ran over with a big cloth bag. He asked aunt Molly for it.
"Take it out after boiling and wash it again and again." I have to say that this kind of paper needs to be used. It's really cool. In a word, these people have done everything.
"The next step is to chop these straw and beat them repeatedly until they are gluten."
Now everyone is rushing to do it. They don't have much else, but they have no place to do it!
