In the days of rebirth as a lord

Chapter 47 Liquidating Picker

Mu Ziyu was also literate, and after listening to Cecil's explanation, he understood how valuable paper was, and exclaimed: "This will definitely be a great new thing, Your Highness, it is really amazing that you can make it." Awesome! How did you think of it?"

Facing such a sincere and respectful compliment, Cecil felt a little guilty, so he said truthfully, "I didn't think of it, I learned it from...the Kingdom of God."

"The Kingdom of God?" Mu Ziyu was a little puzzled. Didn't His Highness always fight with the church and don't believe in the existence of the God of Light?

Cecil repeated what he told Conrad when he first came to this world.

Mu Ziyu didn't question anything, but asked, "What does the Kingdom of God look like?"

"The Kingdom of God is very large, and the people living there are ordinary people, but they know a lot of advanced technology, so life is very convenient... There are people with fair hair, blue eyes and white skin in the Kingdom of God, and there are people with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin. People with black skin... But no matter what kind of people, everyone is equal..." Cecil spoke incoherently, and couldn't help but think of many things in his previous life that he deliberately wanted to forget, thinking of Ye Lao dad……

Mu Ziyu suddenly felt uneasy. His Highness was so nostalgic when he talked about the Kingdom of God, as if he wanted to leave this world immediately and go to the Kingdom of God.Mu Ziyu stretched out his hand involuntarily, and grabbed Cecil's arm.

"Huh?" Cecil looked at Mu Ziyu suspiciously.

Realizing that he had overstepped the bounds, Mu Ziyu immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock, but he couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, do you want...to return to the Kingdom of God?"

"Think about it...but I can't go anymore." Cecil said, his tone of disappointment was hard to hide.

Seeing Cecil so sad, Mu Ziyu heaved a sigh of relief and dispelled the fear in his heart.Immediately, he felt that he should have such an attitude, so he comforted him: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you don't go back to the Kingdom of God, I will try my best to help you build a new Kingdom of God here."

Thinking about the huge difference in the development of the two worlds, Cecil was amused by Muziyu's bold words: "It will take at least a few hundred years to build this place into the Kingdom of God...but I have learned a lot from the Kingdom of God. Some knowledge is also suitable for today's world. If we can realize it one by one, our life will be much more convenient, and the citizens will also become richer."

"Yeast and paper are the products of the advanced technology of the Kingdom of God?"

"Yes, the same is true of the mathematics I taught you before."

……

After studying the production method of the paper, Cecil handed over the subsequent mass production to Nora.

Nora, who is currently engaged in education, will be a big user of paper in the future. She understands the significance of paper better than Mu Ziyu, and she was almost moved to tears when she came into contact with paper.

"Your Highness, for such an important thing, you just told me how to make it... Nora doesn't know how to thank you for your trust, but I assure you that I will keep it a secret and not let the making method be spread out! ’ promised Nora.

In fact, Cecil doesn't care if the production method will be spread out. After all, paper is a cheap consumable, and the current production capacity of Ott Village cannot meet the market demand for paper. A few more manufacturers will not affect their business. Sales Market.

"The current production method is still relatively rough. I hope you can find a way to continue to improve and strive to make better quality paper." Cecil encouraged Nora.

"As ordered, Your Highness."

It is very simple to set up a paper-making workshop. Nora selected two of her own students as assistants, and hired a few honest and hardworking slaves. She quickly built a factory building, collected enough raw materials, and started working. I believe When the caravan from Otto Village returns, the first batch of finished paper will be ready.Next time the caravan goes out, in addition to yeast, there will be another special product.

On this day, Joseph, the current temporary agricultural officer, brought his eldest son to see Cecil.

The eldest son of the Joseph family was named Krem. Although he was nervous when he saw Cecil, the lord, he was much better than his father who couldn't speak well.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I have calculated last year's harvest in the village that you asked me to calculate with the help of Ban. Last year, except for the fallow fields and the inferior land that really didn't grow any crops, the rest of the village The fields harvested at least one thousand catties of wheat and at least seven thousand catties of beans. Except for one or two hundred catties of wheat left as seeds, all the rest was turned over as taxes, and at least four thousand catties of beans were handed over as taxes.” There were more than Sixty percent of the harvest was taken as a tax, and Pickle took it away.

The concept of jin was also proposed by Cecil. When he was teaching mathematics, he unified the commonly used weights and measures for future convenience.Otherwise, the previous distance calculations were expressed in terms of steps and walking time, and the calculations were in terms of handfuls, bowls, bags, etc., which is too imprecise.

"Did the tax collected be subsidized to you later?"

"No, it wasn't until Your Highness came that everyone received some beans through learning characters, otherwise many people's food at home would not be enough to survive the snow season."

Cecil came to Ott Village at the beginning of the snow season, only two or three months before the grain harvest.Not counting the old grains of previous years, but only the new grains of the year, several hundred catties of wheat and thousands of catties of beans should have a certain volume in the warehouse.Even if it is used to raise the original serfs in the village, it will only consume a small part.But what about the facts?Apart from the dust in the granary, not even a mouse dropping can be seen!

So where did all the food go?

"Go and get Pickle, I'm going to ask about it." Cecil sneered and said.

The guards quickly went to Pickle's house aggressively, but they only caught Pickle's wife and youngest son. Pickle himself and his eldest son had long since disappeared.

"It's gone? It seems that he found out when he was investigating the harvest of previous years, so he knew that he was going to be in trouble, so he ran away early." Cecil quickly guessed the reason.

As soon as these words came out, Joseph's father and son softened their feet and knelt directly on the ground: "Your Highness, we absolutely did not tell Pickle about this!"

Cecil waved his hand, and didn't intend to blame them.Nowadays, people have a poor sense of confidentiality. No matter how careful they are when investigating, there is no guarantee that other people who have been questioned will leak the news.Pickle is another cunning guy, it's normal for him to know, and it doesn't necessarily mean that someone made a mistake.

"I don't blame you, you have done a good job this time, go back and rest first." Cecil said to Joseph's father and son.

The two of Joseph's family breathed a sigh of relief, and left with gratitude.

Cecil turned to ask the returning guard: "Does Pickle's wife and youngest son know where he has gone?"
