Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 56 Papermaking

The brewing of distilled spirits and the distillation of alcohol cannot be completed in a short time. Not only do you need to make the lees in advance, but you also need to order craftsmen to create a large number of utensils that may be used.

Therefore, Bruno could only hope that the wounded soldiers could last longer, and during this period, he could use existing tools to simply disinfect and bandage them.

In order to treat the wounded soldiers, Bruno gathered the wounded soldiers together and specially ordered people to clean the camps where the wounded soldiers lived regularly every day.

This is because the soldiers' original residences were too simple and unhygienic, and sanitary conditions are undoubtedly very important for treating diseases and saving lives.

Maintaining good hygienic conditions can greatly reduce wound infection and worsening of the condition.

The hospital in the previous life was always filled with the smell of disinfectant. This was not unreasonable.

Fortunately, these soldiers all wore armor during the battle and were only slightly injured. Otherwise, according to the existing conditions, Bruno would have been able to prepare a pension in advance.

Since the weather is still relatively cold now, most of the tents are closed tightly and there is no ventilation at all!

Although the temperature outside the camp was still low, Bruno specifically required that the tents where the wounded soldiers lived must be ventilated regularly.

In addition, the personal clothing of wounded soldiers must also be cleaned and replaced in a timely manner.

At the same time, Bruno also took out the vinegar from the lord's castle, set up a pot in the camp of the wounded soldiers, put vinegar and water in it, and steamed it over a low fire for a long time.

Many people were confused about Bruno's request, but since it was the Earl's order, although everyone was a little confused, they still carried it out to the letter.

Another important point to consider when making distilled spirits is the supply of food.

As we all know, liquor requires a lot of grain to brew, but now people in many places don't even have enough to eat. If you want to get extra grain, you can only attract the attention of other nobles.

After all, the biggest reason why the serfs did not have enough to eat was that they had to hand over most of the food they cultivated to the nobles who owned the land and titles.

Due to the large-scale construction projects during this period, there was not much food in Idar Territory.

If it is only used for eating, it is definitely no problem, but if it is also used for brewing, it will be a bit stretched.

And just after the battle with Sauron Leader, Bruno couldn't bear to go to Sauron Leader to buy grain.

Therefore, Bruno set his sights on the noble territory located to the west of Idar Territory.

Tanzanian Town, located to the west of the Idar Territory, is a fiefdom belonging to the Viscount Conte. It is not far from the Idar Territory. However, due to the obstruction of the Almis Mountains, it can only be connected through the path in the Thorn Valley.

A few days ago, the beets Bruno needed to make white sugar were transported through the territory of Viscount Conte and Stranglethorn Valley.

Although the Idar Territory has a very bad relationship with its neighbor to the north, Earl Sauron, it has a close personal relationship with Viscount Conte.

One of the important reasons is that Bruno's great-grandfather was a close comrade-in-arms with the previous Viscount Conte, and they jointly participated in the Norman Empire's Third Northern Battle.

"Liszt...instruct some people to go to Viscount Conte to buy some grain..." Bruno greeted.

"Food?" Liszt hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, the food we receive from Idar is quite sufficient now. A large amount of seaweed and sea fish are shipped every day from the fishing port wharf..."

"What people are buying are staple foods such as wheat, which will be of great use in a few days." Bruno said.

"Oh, I'll tell you now, little one." Liszt said quickly.

"Go." Bruno waved his hand.

In addition to exchanging the method of making distilled liquor, Bruno planned to directly exchange the papermaking technology.

After all, there are only skins made of animal skins in the world, and they are expensive and inconvenient in many cases.

If the paper can be produced quickly, it will be an extremely huge benefit.

Liquor and paper, if these two things can be successfully produced, the economic strength of the Idar Territory will be comparable to that of the earls and even some marquis territories in the western part of the empire!

The income they generate can allow Idar to make a lot of money, and he no longer has to worry about money.

Sugar and sea salt, distilled liquor and paper, these four commodities will become Idar's business cards and become Idar's four most important sources of income.

Different from other products in the system mall, papermaking technology has three prices, namely ten points, twenty points and thirty points.

Among them, the lowest price is the papermaking technology invented during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Making paper takes the longest time and uses the most complicated materials.

The most expensive one is the papermaking technology developed in the late Qing Dynasty. The papermaking method has been basically mature and the production process has been greatly streamlined.

After thinking for a moment, Bruno gritted his teeth and decisively chose the one with the highest price.

The high price definitely has its advantages. The mature papermaking method can not only save manpower, but also greatly streamline the production process, which is enough to produce paper in large quantities.

Moreover, compared with sea salt and white sugar, the paper produced by UU Kanshu www.uukｎshu.net Idarling has great advantages.

That is, the cost of paper is much cheaper than vellum paper such as parchment paper and kraft paper, and only Idarling can produce it.

This also means that once paper begins to be produced on a large scale, Idarling will almost have a monopoly position in the paper market.

What is the most profitable thing to do?

The answer is monopoly!

As long as you achieve a monopoly, even if you produce just a screw, you can still make excess profits because you are the only manufacturer and distributor, with almost no competitors, and control the pricing power of the product.

After exchanging papermaking worth thirty points, Bruno's brilliant points dropped to eleven.

These brilliance points are too damn worthless to spend!

It's a lot of hard work to build a wonder, but spending the Brilliance Points is like running water, and you can spend them all in the blink of an eye.

This made Bruno couldn't help but swear.

However, what comforted Bruno was that papermaking technology worth thirty points was obviously not comparable to a bargain worth ten points.

From material extraction to paper making, it only takes five steps.

Although some steps are very troublesome, this has been simplified a lot.

The raw materials for papermaking are easy to obtain, and the paper produced varies depending on the materials used.

Pu bark, mulberry bark, and hibiscus membrane can be used to make leather paper, and bamboo fiber can be used to make bamboo paper.

And these two only represent the two most expensive and most expensive ones.

In addition, many kinds of wild grass plants such as wheat straw, cattail grass, horse grass, reeds, etc. can be used to make rough straw paper, and even... even bagasse can be used to make paper!
