Traveling through the world of beasts: Lingquan space has some fields

Some silkworm glue was scraped out from the silk that had passed through the silk winding board. Qiao Xin took out the spinning machine at home, hung the wound silk on it, and began to shake it. The cocoon silk was continuously drawn out, passed through the silk winding board, scraped off the boiled silkworm glue, and spun into silk thread.

A strand of silk can be pulled out to a length of more than 5,000 meters, which is several times longer than the cocoon on Blue Star.

It didn't take Qiao Xin long to collect more than thirty silk cocoons and get two bundles of bright red silk.

Before she knew it, it was already late at night. Qiao Xin hurriedly took a shower and went to rest. After successfully spinning the silk once, she didn't plan to continue. There were dozens of baskets, how could she finish them all by herself?

She plans to leave the rest to the textile workshop.

After taking a shower, Qiao Xin pondered for a moment, took a few mulberry branches into the space, and planted them around the dried-up lake of the spiritual spring. Whether they would survive or not depended on fate.

The space is as usual. The cotton will be ripe tomorrow morning and can be harvested by the time the silk cocoons are sent over.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling."

Qiao Xin called out several times but got no response. Ever since she had a mysterious feeling of a breakthrough last time, she knew that Xiao Ling was going to fall into a deep sleep soon.

It seems that he has fallen asleep.

There were no other changes in the space. The distance was still desolate. There was a small dark room by the lake, which contained her treasures. Not far away were several piles of junk. Xiao Ling told her the location, and she dug them out.

Because there is space, the pile of junk does not show any signs of rust or corrosion.

After walking around, Qiao Xin left and went to sleep.

Qiao Xin went to the weaving workshop early in the morning and handed the cocoons and the cotton that had been pulled up by the roots to Bao Yue, and instructed her on how to reel the silk. "I'm going to take care of other things first. If you have anything, come to the administrative building to find me. When the silk cloth is in the warehouse, tell me and I'll go and exchange it."

Bao Yue sent Qiao Xin to the door and turned back to continue spinning.

As for after these silks are pulled out, what's left is almost the same as weaving. Baoyue is quite familiar with weaving. Besides, if she doesn't understand something, she can go to Qiao Xin and she will teach her.

After working half a day, Qiao Xin went home in the afternoon to work on her papers.

The edges of the dried paper were rough and prickly, so Qiao Xin found a guillotine and cut off the edges. The thin papers she made in the early stages when she was new to the technique had finer textures, and when she held it high enough, she could see the faint sun through it.

Qiao Xin did not throw away these defective papers. Thinness has its advantages. Thinness means softness, a bit like rougher toilet paper, which can be used in the toilet.

Qiao Xin sorted the cut paper, and kept those of even thickness for office use. Those that were too thin, too soft, or defective were cut into A4 size and taken home to use as toilet paper. She also gave some to acquaintances such as Lu Min, Lu Lin, Tu Ye, Bao Yue, etc.

Qiao Xin's paper was carelessly hung out to dry outdoors. Even if no one knew what it was made of at first, after a while, word spread from one person to another, and everyone knew that these brown papers were made of tree bark.

When Qiao Xin gave it to them, they accepted it generously. After all, the tree bark was not a good thing.

After trying the toilet paper, Mao Bai exclaimed: "Who would have thought that something so soft and useful is actually made of tree bark."

Wolf Zhengchao was not used to it at first, but when he took over his shift and went to patrol the territory in the wild, the difference became apparent when he used leaves to go to the toilet.

Especially now that it is late autumn and soft leaves are hard to find, and only hardened dry leaves or sticks can be used, the wolf is beginning to miss the toilet paper at home.

I made a secret decision in my heart that I must bring toilet paper with me next time I go out on patrol.

Before Qiao Xin's second batch of paper came out, the toilet paper was used up. It was like a time before liberation. People who had used toilet paper would ask Qiao Xin when there would be more toilet paper when they saw her.

Qiao Xin also wanted to make the second batch as soon as possible. The bark that was brought back did not need to be soaked, so it was not something that could be done whenever one wanted.

Niu Biao was indeed a considerate man. As soon as the toilet paper at home ran out, he went to the carpentry workshop and dragged back several carts of tree bark. He did not soak the bark in the pool at home, but took it to the Black River outside the city. He specially surrounded it with large stones and cleared a place for soaking without affecting the flushing of the water.

The bark softens much faster when washed by river water than in a pool of stagnant water.

Qiao Xin also began to consider the feasibility of a paper mill.

"Lumin, do you think paper is useful?"

Lu Min, who had been eagerly waiting for toilet paper to come out, said, "It's very useful. It's very useful. When will there be more?"

"I want to build a paper mill to promote the use of paper. Will anyone exchange it for the paper I make?" In addition to convenience, we also have to consider the cost. Work points are limited, and everyone will definitely use their work points on food first. Things like toilet paper may not necessarily be exchanged.

Lu Min widened his eyes, "How come no one has redeemed it? It's such a useful thing." After saying that, he closed his mouth. It's not certain!

Office paper or school paper is all provided by the tribe. The workers' work points have been distributed, but these papers cannot offset the work points distributed, which is not conducive to macro-control. It is just like the issuance of banknotes. It is impossible to print banknotes unlimitedly, and work points cannot be distributed unlimitedly.

By this calculation, the work points required to exchange toilet paper must be increased. If the work points are high, no one will be willing to use it.

Lu Min sighed deeply. Under Qiao Xin's influence, he also learned to look at things from a macro perspective. "How many work points do you plan to set for toilet paper?"

"One work point is this thick." Qiao Xin compared the thickness to ten centimeters.

Lu Min: “…” That’s so bad that not even underwear is left.

Lu Min hesitated for a long time, "It will be a loss."

Qiao Xin patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Aren't there administrative expenses? Our office paper and support for school education are all paid from the public account. Aren't our work points also paid from the public account? When the time comes, the purchase of office paper can offset these expenses."

Lu Min thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Aren't all the work points in the public account issued by them? If they issued too many, wouldn't it be detrimental to macroeconomic regulation?

If you don’t understand, just ask. Lu Min directly expressed his doubts.

Qiao Xin patiently explained: "Work points are issued by us, and we cannot issue too many. However, if the number in circulation cannot meet the demand, we have to increase the issuance in order to meet the market demand for currency. We cannot just limit it blindly."

As life gets better and better and residents' labor wealth level rises, the demand for work points will increase.

Once the problem of food and clothing is solved, people will begin to pursue a higher material life and even spiritual life.

Lu Min didn't understand what he heard, so he didn't continue asking questions. He believed that one day he would understand.

Qiao Xin's paper mill was decided upon after a meeting. The next day, Lu Lin arranged for orcs to build the paper mill, and the site was chosen to be next to a well, right next to the blacksmith shop.
