In the days of rebirth as a lord

[Answer in detail. 】

The light screen unfolded in front of my eyes: [After soaking the stem in the center of the knife grass blade, it can be easily pounded into a white fiber slurry.The skin of the purple shrub is soaked to remove the impurities in the outer layer, leaving the white fiber skin in the inner layer, and then add lime to soak until it becomes flocculent. After heating and boiling, it can form a yellowish fiber slurry. 】

Knife grass is a very common grass in this world. During the cultivation season and the bright season—that is, spring and summer—it is spread all over the mountains and fields, because the blades of the grass are sharp and easy to cut people's skin. That's why it's called Knife Grass.As for the purple shrub, it is a kind of low shrub in the forest on the edge of Ott Village. It has strong reproductive ability and growth ability. Flammable and flame-resistant, it is the most commonly used fuel in Otto Village.

Very good, this not only tells the material, but also the method of pulping. The merit value is not in vain, and it is worth the money.

Papermaking comes after pulp. In ancient China, bamboo curtains were used for papermaking. In this world, bamboo curtains cannot be made, but there is gauze!It is entirely feasible to make a gauze net from wood and gauze as a gauze curtain for papermaking.

After the paper is copied, it only needs to be dried or dried with fire.

After sorting out the general production process, Cecil is ready to try it out by himself.Now that the snow season has just passed and the weeds have not yet grown, Cecil can only use last year's purple bushes to make pulp.

The bark was soaked and steamed, and the movement was not small. People close to Cecil would inevitably ask, what is His Highness doing now?Do you need help?some type of.

Whether Conrad came to ask or Mu Ziyu asked, Cecil always evaded back vaguely, and only said: "It's a very useful thing, you will know it when you make it."

After all, if you talk too much in advance, if the final result is not ideal, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

As soon as Conrad heard that Cecil was going to do "very useful things", he thought of the yeast that was bringing huge benefits, and he immediately looked forward to it.

After a few days, Cecil made the first batch of paper, but the results did not satisfy him.

The paper made is very brittle, like dried leaves, and will shatter when touched lightly.Not only that, but the paper is very rough, and the water absorption is too strong. Once the quill is placed on it, the ink dots will smudge, but when you write, you can't write coherent strokes.

It's like the poor-quality toilet paper from the previous life, which was wet and then dried again.

Cecil had to ask the system for help again: [System, is there any way to improve my current method of making paper? 】

【Ding!A short answer requires ten merit points, and a detailed answer requires one hundred merit points. 】

[Answer in detail. 】

Cecil had no doubts, and the short answer was only one word "yes".

[The gum of the oak tree is melted and diluted with [-] times the amount of water to form a slightly viscous liquid, and then this liquid is mixed into the pulp at a ratio of [-]:[-], and the paper made will be more delicate and tough , the specific effect depends on the craft of papermaking. 】

After getting the answer, Cecil made the failed paper for the first time and directly re-pulped it-he didn't want to waste too much time on pulping again.After adding new materials, the quality of the paper made again is much better!Although it is far from the rice paper that Cecil wanted, it has already caught up with the quality of straw paper, and it can be used for writing!

It's just that if it's used as toilet paper, it's still a little rough, and it needs to be softened before it can be used, otherwise it will stab the butt...

The paper was just finished, and before Cecil showed it to other people to appreciate, Mu Ziyu came to find Cecil.

"Your Highness, there is something I want to discuss with you." Mu Ziyu was still steamed because he just took a shower before coming to see Cecil.

After all, His Royal Highness loves cleanliness. Even on the roads in the village that is rarely visited, no human or animal feces are allowed. For this purpose, a latrine was specially built.Mu Ziyu was concerned about this, and every time he came to see Cecil, he would wash himself off first, so as not to offend His Highness with the smell of sweat on his body just after training.

"what's up?"

"It's about the guards. Now the second team has selected enough people, but I want to change the configuration of the two teams." Mu Ziyu said.

Cecil was a complete layman in military training, so he instilled some disciplines such as "orders and prohibitions" in Muziyu at the beginning, and Muziyu handled all the actual operations.Therefore, Cecil never pointed fingers, and Mu Ziyu was fully responsible for the military training.But Muziyu respected Cecil's opinion very much, and would report to Cecil no matter what decision he made.

"Currently the most powerful weapon of the guards is the bow and arrow, but bows and arrows require long-term training and a certain talent to exert their greatest power. Nowadays, many of the patrol guards are not suitable for learning bows and arrows. So I want to use a The first team is divided into talented archers, and the second team is composed of other people. Instead of learning bows and arrows, they learn spears instead. The use of spears does not depend on talent, but on whether they practice diligently. In this way, the usual training of the two teams can also be separated, and the effect will be better."

This suggestion sounds reasonable, and Cecil naturally supports it: "Yes, you can make the arrangements for the specific details. It's just that so many people have been added, have you encountered any trouble?"

"In the beginning, there were a few disobedient ones, but now they have all been dealt with. The ones left now are all able to obey orders and train hard." Mu Ziyu said.

After all, Mu Ziyu was young, less than 20 years old, and a foreigner.Some freedmen who joined the guards considered themselves superior to him, a foreign slave, and began to disobey discipline.As for how these disobedient people were dealt with in the end, Mu Ziyu didn't go into details, and Cecil didn't intend to ask.

After finishing the business, Cecil showed the finished paper he had made to Mu Ziyu like offering a treasure: "This is what I spent the past few days making. How do you see it?"

Mu Ziyu first saw Cecil waiting expectantly for his comment, and smiled in his heart, and then looked at the things shown to Cecil.Seeing that the thing was thin and translucent, it was obviously not very strong, and Mu Ziyu became cautious when he took it.

"What is this? A kind of cloth? It doesn't seem like..." If it was cloth, it would be too flimsy.

"This is called paper. It can be used instead of parchment for writing, but the materials used to make it are only grass stems and bark. Although it is not as durable as parchment, the price is hundreds of times cheaper than parchment." Cecil explained.
