Early in the morning, all officers in King's Landing were ordered to go to various ferries, fortresses, and watchtowers.
There are seven people left beside Oran, Joan of Arc, Kunsang, Nanamp, Titan, Tuman, Adisha and Rad.
Everyone thought they were going to deal with the bad news coming from the north and the south in the past few days.
But in this case, it is impossible to call so few people.
It wasn't until everyone entered a place in King's Landing that looked like a wool factory that they found out the reason.
The outside of this wool factory was full of fluff, and the ground was covered with animal excrement.
It occupies a large area and has built many large houses. These houses are surrounded by layers and have passages inside. If you are not familiar with it, you may not be able to find the exit after entering.
Oran sent people to seal this place very early, and it was the first time for everyone to enter.
The innermost area is filled with all kinds of novel machines that no one has ever seen before.
Among the five, the most knowledgeable one is Adisha, but she has never seen it either.
and found servants inside.
Servants come in and out in pairs.
One is blind and the other is deaf-mute.
The blind man listened to the craftsmen and passed on the needed materials and tools.
Deaf-mute people help guide people and are responsible for food and other duties.
In this small maze-like place, complete the tasks assigned by Oran.
"Here are the disabled people who were in my territory during my father's time, those who were wounded in war, or those who committed crimes. I will put them all here."
The craftsmen inside were then ordered out by Oran, leaving only the core two.
The two craftsmen each brought a plate with yellow-gray, yellow-white, and light gray papers on it.
"Paper?"
Adisha touched it, and the feel was much better than the paper she bought from northern Italy through the port from the merchants in her area.
"No, this is a miracle. Your Excellency the Holy Lady and all of you, God gave me a revelation a long time ago. The Lord said that in order for us to drive away the Vikings, he gave us 'this technique'."
Oran looked at Joan of Arc, who had been brainwashed by Oran for a long time and believed that she was related to God.
The life of a prostitute is just a test from the Lord.
After meeting Olan, the son of God, he has returned.
Joan of Arc also touched the paper, but she still didn't understand that before she became a saint, she had no chance to encounter this kind of luxury product from the East.
At a different position in the paper process, Oran started talking nonsense.
"This is a mixture of one hundred and eighty-two species of plants, and collectors need to remain in awe (several suitable species such as grass, linen and cotton, chopped into fibers and matched in proportion to enhance durability)."
Then came the cauldron.
"Boil what you just made, add water, and at the same time read the New Testament I compiled three times."
"Pray sincerely that the contents of the pot will soften and form (mash and stir into a lake-like substance)."
The craftsman then led the way to the paper-making template.
This requires a slightly more complicated process, and different templates can be made to produce paper of various proportions and sizes.
Oran still briefly introduced that this is a machine given by God.
Then there is no need to pour in the pulp, let it dry, smooth it with a knife, test it repeatedly, and improve the ink penetration of the paper.
All explained by specious miracles.
The original version of the paper actually had some finished product released earlier.
But there are various problems.
First, the hand feel was too bad, so Olan experimented with several raw material changes, bought southern paper, and compared it repeatedly.
Later, it was discovered that the thickness of the pulp, the degree of drying, and the degree of water removal by pressing can further improve the feel of the paper.
But the preservation power is very poor, and some are still broken by touching them.
It may even become wet due to heavy snow or rain, making it impossible to insert ink.
He also relied on the memory of his previous life and repeatedly discussed with the craftsmen to find a suitable "coating agent".
Test objects ranged from plants, animals, and even iron-making minerals, and were combined with wax water to improve the inkability of the paper.
For the sake of beauty, we also find ways to obtain natural and artificial pigments for dyeing.
Olan has not yet been able to create paper that looks as white as milk and feels as soft as a girl's, but he can already create some paper with mixed white colors.
If you want to manufacture on a large scale, you will need labor until you invent better machines, which can solve some of the unemployed people.
The papyrus from the Sinai Peninsula, the soft paper from northern Italy, or the moon paper that the Crescent Christians learned from the East and spread to the Imbilia Peninsula, or the local parchment in England, are all items that can be used in daily life.
But the prices are too expensive,
Local paper can save a lot of costs and facilitate the dissemination of knowledge.
The invention of an item not only brings economic benefits, but also changes the social ecology.
Priests control God's voice in the world, and the extremely high cost of learning parchment has made more than 80% of the nobles illiterate.
When paper comes out, it will be coveted.
If things that can generate benefits are not protected by sufficient force, various conspiracies will emerge.
Even if Olan is the inventor, he cannot monopolize everything.
If Britain produces large quantities of paper in the future,
Then the Vikings will be more frantic to rob, and paper from Italy, Imbilia, and even further east will also compete. They will invest more to create cheaper and more durable paper.
Therefore, Olan has been holding back on the finished products of the previous few editions, and has never thought about releasing some paper products with poor quality in exchange for military expenses.
Now, he is the deputy king.
It can protect itself and sell it. Other county chiefs in the kingdom and even King Ella can no longer force themselves to hand over the secrets of their products with the orders of the upper-level lords.
Pure invention, just pure profit.
Olan decided to put "paper" on the brand.
The legitimacy of the Saint comes from the Crusaders of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea.
This was not enough, and the Eastern luxury "paper" would satisfy the needs of the priests.
It can carry sacred texts and exchange for luxury goods from other regions. It can also reduce the local demand for parchment and save a lot of money.
The release of the sacred paper will increase the prestige of Joan of Arc.
Priests can be bribed or even given as gifts to allies.
After Olan said "miracle", everyone had wonderful expressions on their faces.
Heavenly Father has "double" descended to earth?
The one who believed most was Joan of Arc. In order to cut herself off from her past self, she even shed tears in excitement.
"The Lord is looking at us, looking at the suffering people, and we will win in the end!"
Different people see different things in their eyes.
Nan Anpu was in charge of the guild, and all he saw in his eyes were shining silver coins, yellow gold, and a flock of sheep!
No, not a flock, but countless sheep.
Coins will fluctuate due to laws and king's policies.
The sheep is the main standard used by the Seven Kingdoms to measure personal wealth.
Fur can be used to make clothing, shoes and hats, carpets and quilts,
Meat for the table, milk for cheese,
The skin of the feet and internal organs become leather,
Sheep manure is used in agricultural production and gardening.
"The sacred paper is light and easy to carry and store. It allows more sheepskin to be exported, has a uniform texture, is easy to write on, and reduces the loss of pen and ink." Nan Anpu nodded.
Taitan saw the advantages of "copying and printing", which could promote the dissemination of information faster, which was very helpful for the dissemination of orders.
Otherwise, every time an order is issued, it will take a lot of time to copy and transfer it to various places.
Tuman and Kunsang don't have much, and they also think about profits.
Adisha couldn't see the joy on her face.
Revenge for her son is her highest goal. There are many objects she hates now. It doesn't matter if Olan doesn't clean up for the sake of the overall situation. When the Vikings are gone, she will let her son in heaven know her mother's love for her children.
"Nanamp, contact Mercia and build a large-scale campaign. Our route is blocked and we can't sell it to the south. Let Mercia help us sell it. As long as the lords are willing to cooperate, we can all enjoy God's grace together."
"Kunsang, count the number of people with Tuman and see how many people you can bring to support Tirrell."
"Titan, you will help manage the finished paper production in the future."
"Ladd, you are responsible for smuggling, and I will give you permission to dispatch the hospital riders."
"Your Majesty the Holy Lady, when Ulf returns from dispatching the Crusaders in Mercia, he will assist you."
After everyone was called out, Adisha was the only one left.
Adisha's face remained pale after her miscarriage.
She touched her belly, and Oran remembered what Nanding said that day. She was worried about herself. After seeing the fire, she rushed back with blood all over her body.
"You've been killing people indiscriminately lately."
"That's right."
"You also changed my laws and even started smuggling."
"Um."
"what do you want?"
"You know."
"Don't piss me off."
"Then you can kill me."
Oran was silent.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, "I know it's irrational, but I just can't swallow this tone!"
In addition to Malm, she wanted to kill everyone related to the king, people related to the rebellion, and the damn Vikings!
During the meeting of the six county chiefs, Adisha deceived the princess regardless of her safety.
During the Battle of Repton, Adisha tried her best to deliver supplies to Oran and help him stay in the rear.
During the rebellion in the royal city, Adisha even lost her son and was injured!
The lie deceived the woman's sincerity, and retribution finally came.
Oran came closer and took Adisha into his arms.
"If I can't become the emperor, I will become a tyrant for you."
At this moment, their hearts could not be separated.
