I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 129 Papermaking
The person who came was one of the two sewer mice at that time. Not only was the other person not dead, but he looked like he was living in the town.

Jeffery wondered what the noble lord here wanted to do. Shouldn't both of these stalkers be disposed of, why would one be left behind?

He couldn't figure out the reason, he thought it was just an ordinary small town before he came here, but after he came here, he discovered that there are so many secrets here.

Jeffrey remained silent. No matter what, he has already established a cooperative relationship with Ash Town. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, he must focus on profit and make money. As for the secret here, at present, he is not able to participate of.

"By the way, before you said that some strange things happened to the Olis family, tell me again." Jeffrey asked.

Negan nodded. Although he didn't know why the supervisor asked this question, he answered honestly, "There are many new churches in Orlis City, and church members have already entered. Count Orlis hasn't shown up for many years. I don't know why. The Countess is currently in control of the castle."

"Where's Butler Galvin?"

"I haven't heard anything about him, it's still the same as before."

"It's not right, it's so wrong!" Jeffrey shook his head, "The old steward Galvin is not simple. This man was a very famous adventurer when he was young. He has been in and out of various places, talking to elves, dwarves, Druids and others are all friends. When he followed Earl Olis, he was already an intermediate mage. After so many years, no one knows what his strength is, but one thing is certain, it is definitely not higher than the intermediate mage. Low.

What is even more powerful about him is his management ability. The entire Orlis family can have the current scale, and he has played an important role in it. The earl does not show up, and an outsider like the countess controls the castle, but he does not respond at all. This is really a shame. It's so wrong. "

"Could it be the reason for the decline? Didn't there be news that the Olis family offended a high-level mage and was retaliated against? They could only sell valuable things in the family and buy a large amount of high-level magic materials, which calmed down the other party. anger." Negan said.

"Hehe!" Jeffrey laughed, "This kind of news is not at all true. The earl is a high-ranking knight himself, and he has a title. Even if he is a legendary mage, he has to give him face, so what? Maybe he fell due to offending the mage, and besides, which mage he offended, can anyone specifically say it?"

Negan shook his head, "Not really, what's going on?"

"That's not clear. I can only say that the Olis family has been acting strangely in the past few years. The Kingdom of Kais has always been at odds with the church. There are not many churches in the kingdom, but the city of Olis has started to build churches. He is openly against the royal family, and he separated most of his children, which is even more confusing."

"It's a very normal thing for adult nobles to divide their territories."

"Don't forget, the Orlis family has a development order." Jeffrey said in a low tone, "There is no specific territory division in the Sunset Forest. Every noble at the edge of the forest, as long as they have a development order, It can be developed, and the same is true for the endless sea, his powerful daughter was assigned to a place close to the endless sea."

"The Olis family wants to open up more territory?" Negan said, "But this is also normal. The larger the territory, the stronger the nobleman's strength."

"Because it's normal, I don't know what Earl Olis means." Jeffrey narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Forget it, there's no need to think so much. After this transaction, we're going to meet up with other teams. Don't wander around during this time. Dark cultists are not ordinary people, but it's really strange. Why do they Appeared in Sunset Forest."

For some reason, Jeffrey always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing. As a businessman, he has a very keen sense of smell in certain aspects, which is why he is unwilling to stay for a long time.

"Master, we have reached a cooperative relationship with the Red Heart Lion Caravan, and some rare and rare things we need will be sold by them," Carliss said.

He hesitated.

Lynn signaled, "Say what you have, it's not your character to keep your words in your heart."

Carliss said: "The price of these things is not low. Do we have to cooperate with them all the time? For one gold coin, they may sell us two gold coins, or even more."

"Of course not. We want to set up our own Chamber of Commerce, but at present, the strength is still too low to conduct long-distance transactions." Lynn said.

In fact, he also thought about whether it is possible to use a modern way of walking around the streets to use a large number of people for sales. After thinking about it, he gave up. The times are different. Here, you enter other aristocratic territories. If you don't have enough strength to protect, then the nobles will knock you to the ground, and the things on the ground can be said to be theirs, and even you will be arrested and treated as a serf.

No matter what, strength is everything.

"It's just the beginning, and there is no way to go further, but I hope you can occupy the market in the surrounding villages and towns, and make the name of Ashes Town, no, Ashes Land Chamber of Commerce." Lynn's tone was serious.

Karis's eyes were firm, "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

"Don't put too much pressure on it!"

He believed in Carliss' talent in business, but he also knew what would happen if a chamber of commerce seized their market share among many chambers of commerce.

Lynn set his sights on Matthew. Since he put on glasses and recovered his eyesight, his aura has changed. He is no longer decadent or depraved, but positive, as if he was reborn from the ashes .

Lin En has a feeling that as long as he returns to the realm of high-level knights, he will most likely break through to the realm of earth knights.

"Matthew, there is one thing I need to trouble you with."

Matthew immediately said: "My lord, just ask for it."

"In order to improve my strength, I want to practice combat with you every day." Lynn expressed his thoughts.

Karis was surprised, "My lord, you are a noble lord."

"Then what's the matter, can't nobles improve their strength? Only when they are stronger can they reduce more problems."

Lin En has confidence in his own strength, but he is not blindly confident. He knows that his basic combat experience is too lacking. When fighting some ordinary knights, he can rely on advanced combat skills to crush him. Youzi, that's different.

What's more, although he has mastered advanced combat skills, he is not so proficient in using them. During the battle, if he is negligent, he will pay the price of his life.

Matthew looked at Lynn with admiration. His allegiance was because Lynn gave him a new life, but now, he felt more and more that the other party was not an ordinary noble lord.

There are not many young noble lords who can take the initiative to ask for actual combat training.

Matthew nodded, "Your request is my criterion."

Carliss suddenly thought of something, took out the fire attribute magic crystal, and told what Jeffery had told him.

Lynn thought for a moment, "Be careful, but don't tell other people about these things, lest they be too scared to go to work."

"Matthew, do you know the Dark Cultists?"

"I know, I have fought against the Dark Cultists and killed a few."

"What kind of people are they?"

"In order to complete the task, they do not hesitate to hurt ordinary people. In their eyes, anyone who stands in the way will die."

"I've always had a doubt, what's the difference between a dark cultist and a cultist?" Lynn asked the doubt in his heart.

Logically speaking, as long as those who are defined by the church as opposing them belong to the dark side, why is there such a division?

Matthew replied with a solemn expression, "The dark cultists still have humanity, and the cultists are a group of lunatics who have lost their humanity."

He recalled the scene he saw in the basement of the castle again, which he will never forget.

"I understand!"

In the afternoon, the Red Heart Lion Chamber of Commerce left and told Carliss that the next time they would come would be ten days later. As for the exact time, they couldn't guarantee it.

In the castle courtyard, the servants were beating the stones with wooden hammers, and some plants and trees were placed on them.

The plants were constantly beaten, developing from broken to rotten.

Due to the arrival of the chamber of commerce, he completed the second phase of the task of opening up business routes, and Lin En obtained the papermaking technique, which allowed him to know how to make relatively primitive paper.

The raw materials needed for papermaking, such as flax and bark, can be found, but only bamboo is not available. Fortunately, a tree similar to bamboo has also been found.

Lin En asked his servants to beat the raw materials thoroughly. Since it was the first production, he did not use a water wheel to replace manpower.

"My lord, it's been crushed."

Lynn went over to take a look, nodded, asked Ellie to light the fire, and directed the servants to put the crushed raw materials into the pot, added lime water, and pressed a big stone on top.

The flame continued to roast, and the water in the pot also boiled.

The raw materials have already been mashed, and after being boiled at high temperature, the fibers are continuously dispersed, and at the same time, it emits a strange smell.

Fortunately, this pot was built in the yard. If it was in the kitchen, it would not be able to accommodate people at all.

But even so, the servants were far away, and they had no idea what the master was going to do.

After the raw materials are almost boiled, turn off the fire and wait until the materials are fully cooled. Lynn gets out the stones inside, puts the materials into the water, and then keeps stirring with a wooden stick. When the fibers are almost melted only to stop.

Lin En held the woven flat curtain and shook it in the water. The pulp fell on it and spread it into a flat and thin surface. Since he was also making paper for the first time, he had no experience in papermaking, so he could only look at it with his eyes.

After looking around, Lynn took out the flat curtain and put it on the wooden board for extrusion.

Moisture is squeezed out and falls to the ground.

Lynn picked up the flat curtain again and put it aside to dry.

He repeated it several times, and then he stopped after a dozen or so flat curtains were placed in the yard.

This method is the papermaking technique he obtained. It is an ancient kind that relies entirely on manpower to drive, but now there is water power. As long as this process is proficient, water power can be used to replace part of the manpower.

"Master, what is this?" Karis wondered.

"You'll find out tomorrow!"

Lin En can't guarantee whether the paper he made can be used normally, so let's just sell it first.

Although Karis was curious, there was nothing he could do if the master didn't say anything.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin En hurried down from the second floor, he wanted to see how the paper was made.

The servants also followed after hearing the movement.

After one night, the humidity of the paper has been greatly reduced, and it needs to be dried for a day before it is completely dry, but Lin En is unwilling to wait any longer, and peels off the paper from the flat curtain.

He looked at the paper carefully. Due to his inexperience, the whole paper was not even. Some areas were thick, while others were thin. With a slight touch, the thin areas were damaged.

Lin En spread the paper on the table, took a pen, and wrote on it.
