    Leaving from the ranch, Ayla followed Shattrath to a nearby village.

    At this time, the atmosphere in Maidena Village, the destination, was very tense.

    Maidena Village is a typical slave village. Two-thirds of the villagers living in this village are slaves, and the remaining one-third are commoners, but they are also tenant farmers belonging to the royal family. In the eyes of the nobles, they are halfA slave does not have much freedom in itself.

    The village of Maidena has a long history. The civilians and slaves in this village intermarried with each other. After several generations, it is very normal for the civilians to have a few slave relatives in their families. It does not mean that they do not care about losing their status as freedmen.When you can't survive, it doesn't matter whether you are a freeman or not.

    And as a royal slave, the life of a slave in Maidena Village is no worse than that of many civilians.

    The slaves in their village were originally working for the royal ranch and land. These were not heavy labor jobs. In addition, the original stewards were quite good, so everyone's life was pretty good.

    But a few days ago, the steward suddenly informed them that they would no longer need to do work on the ranch, and that other people would arrange their work, but he didn't tell them what they were going to do, and even vaguely revealed that they might have toThe news of the change of owner immediately caused the whole village to panic.

    In fact, it didn't matter whether the accident happened or not, it's just that he himself was in a daze, and his superiors didn't tell him the specifics, but just asked him to wait for the follow-up arrangements, and he himself was in a panic now.

    This is not good news. The original owner of Maidena Village can be said to be their Majesty the King. Now they are going to change people. Everyone speculates whether His Majesty sold them all.

    If they are sold, the slaves in Maidena Village will have to leave the village, but they have settled here for many years, and many of them have married civilians and had children and established families. If they are sold away, most of the families in the entire village will be torn apart.It is not an exaggeration to lose a family.

    Niah’s family is one of them. His father was a slave brought back from the army’s war.To the commoner-born mother, who then gave birth to Nia.

    But in fact, Niah’s parents did not really enter into a marriage. They recognized each other as husband and wife, and the people around them also affirmed this, but their relationship was not recognized by the law. This was also the normal state of slaves and civilians in this period.Live in partnership, but don't enter into marriage, so that their children don't need to follow one of them as slaves.

    Of course, this kind of situation is actually rare in other places. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for civilians to be with slaves, but this is a "slave village" where civilians and slaves live together. Under long-term love, anything is possibleoccur.

    Because of this, under the premise that the slaves may change their masters, families like Niah are in heavy distress. They cannot prevent the master from selling them, nor can they let their civilian wives/husbands/children follow themBeing sold together, parting is imminent.

    And perhaps the most heart-wrenching thing is not just the separation of husband and wife. For example, in Nia’s family, if the father who is the support of the family leaves, Nia’s mother will not be able to support Nia alone. In the end, the fate of the mother and son is hard to say, but hisIt is absolutely impossible for his father to take him away. If he can be a freeman, no one wants to be a slave.

    "Maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought, isn't the Master in charge not sure what's going on?"

    The wife, sitting next to her husband with her young son in her arms, is not only speaking to her husband, but to herself as well.

    Although the language is too pale, there is still a little comfort in my heart.

    When the couple leaned against each other for comfort, there was a sudden knocking sound outside, which was a signal to tell them to gather at the entrance of the village.

    Everyone who heard the voice was shocked.

    Is a new owner coming?

    With mixed feelings, they gathered at the entrance of the village.

    The village chief of Maidena Village was an old commoner. He was standing with the steward and talking about something. When everyone arrived, the village chief announced the good news with a smile on his face.

    "I know what you're all worried about recently. The steward just told me the good news. His Majesty didn't sell us all. He just gave us to His Royal Highness the Princess."

    Everyone was still wondering who the princess was, and the old village chief revealed the answer.

    "Yes, it is Her Royal Highness who is likely to become our queen."

    This news has spread widely. After all, their Majesty has been single for many years and has never had any contact with the opposite sex. Now that there is suddenly an additional object of admiration, how can the public not be curious about the deeds of that princess, let alone the royal family?These slaves and tenant farmers, even people in other cities may have heard the news.

    Hearing that it was given to the silver-haired princess, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    If it was Her Royal Highness the princess who was likely to be their mistress, then they shouldn't have to leave, right?

    The old village head who has received the news nodded affirmatively: "It is true that there is no need. In fact, Her Royal Highness needs someone to plow the fields for her, and the place is on the pasture where you were working, so as long as you work hard, no one will take you away."Taken away."

    This is extremely exciting news, as long as they are not allowed to leave, even if the work is harder than before, they are willing.

    The steward at the side also said, "His Royal Highness the princess will come to the village today to have a look, you all should pay attention and don't make her unhappy."

    If it wasn't for the news that Ella was coming, he had only notified the steward this morning, he would have asked the people in the village to clean up the whole village to welcome Her Royal Highness.

    Although there was not enough time, everyone went back immediately and took the tools and came out to clean. Not to mention the inside of the house, at least the outside of the house and the roads in the village should be tidied up, so as not to upset the princess.

    Because the distance between the pasture and the village is not far, Ella's sedan chair soon appeared in the village.

    This is the first time Ella has seen the village of Sathya up close. All the houses here are designed with their own yards. The walls of the yard are only half the height of a person. You can clearly see the situation in the yard from the outside. They are built of loess.The square earthen houses in China are basically single-storey buildings, with straw mats laid on the flat roof, and they prefer to rest on the roof rather than in the small house on hot nights.

    Due to the lack of a sewer system and lack of awareness in this regard, the sanitation conditions in the village are not good. Fortunately, the roads are still clean after cleaning, at least there will be no piles of excrement in one step-although everyone is unable to raise cattle and sheep.Large-scale animal husbandry, but chickens and ducks are basically raised by every household, and pigs are raised by special swineherds.

    For the Sathya people, the excrement of cattle and sheep is a good fuel, and the excrement of pigs, chickens and ducks is useless, so there are no cattle and sheep on the road, but the excrement of chickens and ducks may be everywhere, if it is notAfter cleaning in advance, the road in the village cannot be seen at all.

    After originally arriving in the village, Ella wanted to walk down by herself, but after seeing the ground where some traces were inevitably left after cleaning, she silently withdrew her foot.

    It is a requirement of Lucis to wear a robe when going out, and a robe that can cover the instep is not conducive to movement, and it is easy to get dirty. Although there is no cleanliness, no one can bear this situation.

    So in the end, she just looked at the situation of these people outside the village, and did not go deep into the village.

    Most of the villagers in Maidena Village are slaves, and they are prisoners of war, that is, foreigners. However, many people became slaves from their ancestors. After several generations, these foreign populations have already integrated into Sathya.Their identities limit their development.

    Slaves do not need to serve like civilians, but they need to work hard for their masters every day. Most of the healthy slaves will become slave soldiers, fighting hard on the battlefield in order to escape from slavery, but those whose physical conditions are not qualified, orSlaves of the wrong age and gender lacked this opportunity, and they and their descendants would remain slaves.

    The slaves in Maidena Village belong to the latter, and it is difficult to see the characteristics of the former homeland in them. They are all mixed, and they become the current Sathyas.

    Although the slaves in the village lived better than other slaves, they still looked sallow and emaciated overall. Each of them was very thin. It was hard to imagine how much work they could do.

    The village head and the steward came to Ella to report the situation here.

    There are one hundred and sixty-nine people in the entire Maidena village, of which slaves account for about a hundred people. These people are the slaves assigned to Ella by Lucis for her to drive.They are also royal tenants, so Ayla can also drive them when farming.

    Among the one hundred and sixty-nine people, there are twenty-seven children under the age of twelve, and among the common people in Sathya who are over thirty years old, they can be considered old people, and there are only ten old people in the village, including the village chief.five.

    And those who are above the age of twelve and under the age of thirty are counted as laborers, and there are a total of 127 people regardless of gender.

    What's interesting is that all the children and teenagers are civilians, and the slaves are only young people over the age of 20 and a few "old men" in their thirties.

    ·····

    Ella knew very well that the average life expectancy of civilians in this period was very short, so it was normal that there were not many old people in the village, but it was strange that young children and teenagers were all civilians.

    Although they were all slaves, these slaves were both male and female and they were all young people. It was strange how they lived together and none of them got married and had children.

    Seeing her confusion, Norris explained in a low voice.

    This kind of situation in slave villages is not uncommon. The locals know a little bit about the inside story, but for slave owners, this is detrimental to their interests. Generally, it will be banned after they know about it, but the royal family has neverRegardless of this kind of thing, the law does not expressly stipulate that it is not allowed. The average slave owner is at most punishing his slaves, or making those civilians lose money, but this is generally aimed at female slaves.

    The village head and stewards were very nervous when they heard Norris explain to Ella. They were worried that the princess would get angry and punish them, and they were worried that the princess would no longer allow their behavior, which would be a disaster for everyone.

    Fortunately, Ella did not resist this.

    She just realized again that Sathya's slavery was fundamentally different from the slavery she knew, and she didn't know what caused their development to be different from the history Ayla knew.

    It's not that the slaves here have a good life, but in comparison, they are considered happy.

    But if we follow the development of history, I am afraid that the cruel slavery will still appear in the end.

    Putting these problems aside, Ella asked the management to organize some people to go to the ranch to clean up the houses and pens there. In a few days, the cattle officer will send a batch of cows first, and the pens can be used to house the cattle.

    Because the custom-made farm tools are not ready yet, the reclamation work cannot start yet, but it is still necessary to go to the pasture to harvest the pasture in the field for the cattle. If a large pasture is reclaimed, the pasture on it will be wasted if it is not harvested first.up.

    The slaves who got their jobs finally didn't have to worry about being sold. Although they still didn't know what they were going to do in the future, at least the princess was very kind and didn't seem to be harsh on them.

    By the time the real work begins, the villagers of Maidena will know that their new mistress is not only not harsh, but also generous.

    After seeing the land and the village, Ella set off for the palace.

    In the palace, Tetis is making cosmetics with three other maids. They bought the raw materials from the warehouse manager of the palace.Process material slowly.

    Ella also wanted to help, but was rejected by the maids.

    Tetis told her: "Your Highness, the head craftsman came this morning and said that the things you ordered have come to fruition."

    "Oh?" Ella became interested: "Is the farm tool ready?"

    "Probably not." Tetis shook her head and said, "It seems that the bullock cart is ready, so you have time to go and have a look."

    "Huh?" Ella was surprised: "I ordered the bullock cart in Tanis, right? Why did the manager here come to inform you?"

    Tetis ground the pearl powder and said casually: "It is estimated that it was shipped from Tanis after it was finished. It is impossible for you to make a special trip to Tanis."

    Ella thought about it, got up and said, "Okay, then I'll go and have a look now."

    Tetis stopped her immediately after hearing the words: "Your Highness, you just came back, why don't you go after eating?"

    Ali, who had been in charge of fetching food, put down her work and got up quickly: "Your Highness, please wait, I'll go get the food right now."

    Ella didn't even change her robe, she took a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate and went out: "No, I'm not hungry, just eat some of this, you are busy with your work, I'll take a look, and I will stop by when I come back."Go to the kitchen."

    The craftsman’s area is not too far from the kitchen, but it’s a bit far from Ella’s bedroom. Fortunately, the palace is relatively cool, and it won’t be too hot even in the afternoon.

    As soon as Ella arrived here, before entering the artisan area, the head artisan greeted her. Just like what Tetis said, he went to Ella in the morning for the ox cart.

    "Tanis sent a wooden cart over, and the artisans also came over, saying that you should check to see if it looks like what you want, and if there is something wrong, they will correct it immediately."

    Ella soon saw her custom-made bullock cart.

    What Ella ordered was actually a cart and a carriage. The carriage is a Chinese-style carriage, but Sathya has no horses but only cattle, so this carriage can only be called an ox cart.

    The bullock cart and the board cart in the drawings she gave to the craftsman are actually similar in structure, both of which have two-wheeled bodies. The only difference is that the bullock cart has an extra compartment. Of course, the bullock cart as a whole is much more refined, after all, it is for carrying people.Considering the comfort, many places have to be fine and comfortable.

    The craftsmen who brought the frame also carefully brought over two cows with nose rings. The fixed headgear and yoke on the cows were designed by Ella when she let the cows pull the plow, and they also made it for this cow.One, used to fix the frame just right.

    In addition to the ox cart and cart, there is another surprise waiting for her. Although not all the farm tools she ordered before have been completed, the craftsmen have brought some of them this time, including several plow carts, and the number of other farm tools is also large.Quite a few, these things were pulled by them with bullock carts and carts, which also tested the load-bearing capacity of the car in disguise.

    But in front of Ella, they have to make the car move again.

    Under Ella's onlookers, the craftsmen put the completed carts and ox carts on the cattle and fixed them, and then let people get on the carts and drive the cattle to walk in the open space. They dare not run. This is the second time theyExperiment, driving skills are not in place, so we can only try carefully.

    In the end, Ella couldn't stand it anymore, so she went over to communicate with the cows, let them run around with the frame for a few laps, and then went up for a test ride.

    The car is very solid, and the most troublesome axles and wheels are also qualified. Although the pure wooden wheels have no rubber shock absorption, it is very bumpy to sit on, but compared with the sedan chair, Ella thinks this kind of car is better.No matter how developed the waterways of Dia are, there are places where boats cannot enter. Traveling with ox carts will be much more convenient.

    And whether it is a cart or a bullock cart, their biggest advantage is that they can carry objects, and they don't need slaves to carry things laboriously wherever they go in the future, which is much more convenient and effective than manpower.

    Ella was very satisfied with the two cars, and felt that there was nothing to improve. She glanced at Norris, who stepped forward to pay the agreed remuneration to several craftsmen.

    Seeing the happy looks of several craftsmen, Ella also reminded them: "This kind of car is very versatile. Maybe you can make a few more and sell them. Those merchants should be interested."

    Hearing this, the craftsmen were even more ecstatic. They naturally knew that these cars would be very popular, but because the design drawings were provided by Ella, because of her status, they didn't dare to make them and sell them even if they knew they could make money.But didn't expect Her Royal Highness to remind them so generously that they could do so.

    "Can we really make it and sell it? This is your thing."

    Ella said: "Of course, I didn't invent this. If other people want it, you can decide whether to sell it or not."

    Ella intends to promote bullock carts, so naturally she will not restrict craftsmen, especially the structure of the frame is not complicated, and it can be easily copied if you study it carefully, so why should she hide it from others?

    Another craftsman couldn't help asking: "Then can we also make and sell those farm tools?"

    Before Aila could answer, the head craftsman scolded loudly: "You despicable fellows, how could you be so greedy and dare to make such rude demands to His Highness, God will definitely punish you!"

    The craftsman who spoke actually regretted it when he opened his mouth. He was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy when he was yelled at by the master craftsman.

    Ella didn't speak to stop it, it was indeed the craftsman who made the mistake this time.

    It's not that Ella doesn't want them to make agricultural tools for everyone to use, but these craftsmen shouldn't do this.

    Because the farm tools at this time are not only farm tools, but also weapons.

    In Sathya, agricultural tools, like weapons, can only be sold by officials, and civilians are not allowed to trade privately. If they want agricultural tools, they need to find specific officials to buy them. Craftsmen do not have the right to sell agricultural tools.

    That's why the master craftsman is so angry when he hears the craftsman say that, not only because his behavior will violate the law, but also because if Ella agrees to his method without knowing the rules, it will probably cause her some troubles.

    After the master craftsman scolded the craftsman who said something wrong, Ella interceded for him, so that the master craftsman did not really punish him.

    After this scene, the artisans who were originally happy because they got a lot of money also restrained a lot.

    Ella inspected the car and the batch of farm tools, and finally bought them together with the two cows, and kept them for pulling the carts later. Anyway, there is a special place in the palace for the two cows, and someone will help take care of them.

    When she left the artisan area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Her Royal Highness did not get angry from the beginning to the end, it was that indifferent attitude that made people dare not make mistakes.

    Leaving the artisan area, she went to the kitchen again. At this time, Najido and others were already preparing dinner. Ella came here to tell them to prepare more dishes for tonight's dinner. Tetis and the others have been busy todayWhile dealing with the raw materials of cosmetics, Ella felt that she should prepare some delicious food to reward them.

    Of course, the kitchen would not disagree with such a small matter, not to mention that Ella came here in person.

    Naguido quickly reported a list of dishes and asked Ella if it was enough, and they could add more if it was not enough.

    The quantity is quite a lot, but Ella still added a few dishes, all of which she knew the maids liked to eat after all.

    "Alright Your Highness, when it's done, I'll have someone send it to you."

    ·····

    Today's dinner was a surprise for Tetis and the others.

    Usually, they would wait for Ella to finish eating before using their own portion, but today Ella directly brought four maids to dine together on the balcony of her dormitory.Rarely have the opportunity to eat.

    The treatment of the maids in the royal palace is very good, especially their personal maids, but no matter how good the treatment is, some food that only the master can eat will rarely be their turn to enjoy, and Ella doesn't think that she will eat leftovers for the people around herIt’s a good habit. She would be willing to share the beer and bread that was delivered to them every day, but she would not give away the leftover food. This is why she asked the kitchen to reduce the dishes for each meal.waste.

    It's rare to be able to sit together and share dinner. The maids are very happy, talking about all kinds of interesting stories and knowledge with great interest. Most of the time, Ella just listens carefully, rarely speaks, but the smile on her face never stops.Pass.

    After dinner, before the night fell, Ella took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, which was to be sent to Harnett. She needed Harnett to transfer a few masters from Tanis.Farmers with farming skills came to give lessons to the slaves in Maidena Village.

    After writing the letter, Ella put it away and was going to find someone to deliver the letter tomorrow morning.

    Then she picked up the pen again, and this time Ella was recalling the papermaking she had seen before.

    This is good in modern society, there are all kinds of information on the Internet, and people who like to read novels will never miss the art of papermaking, and glass soap is also famous for time-traveling weapons such as glass soap.

    Ella wrote down the raw materials that can be used for papermaking on the scroll. In addition to the bark, hemp, reed, straw, etc. that she knew, she also added papyrus at the end, which is common in Sathya.Although she has never seen papyrus used to make paper, since papyrus can be used to make papyrus, it can be seen that the plant fiber is extremely tough, so it should also be a good paper-making material.It may be difficult to find materials for papyrus, but papyrus can be found anywhere.

    As it was getting dark, Tetis lit the brazier, and as the flame flickered, the shadow of the pen in her hand was projected erratically on the scroll.

    Ella looked up at the burning brazier thoughtfully, then lowered her head and wrote four square characters on the scroll that only she could understand.

    Oil lamps, candles.

    Ella also suddenly remembered that she should have produced oil lamps and candles for lighting long ago, otherwise it would not only be inconvenient but also very dangerous to always use the brazier for lighting.

    "Tettis, do you still have the beeswax you bought earlier?"

    The material of the oil lamp is simple, a lampstand with some grease and a wick, and most of the candle wax in modern times is paraffin wax extracted from petroleum, in addition to beeswax, soybean wax, coconut wax, insect wax, ice flower wax, etc.She can't get any wax, so only beeswax can be used.

    In addition, if Ella remembers correctly, people in ancient times used animal fat to make candles.

    Beeswax is also one of the raw materials of cosmetics, so they bought a lot before.

    Sathiya people are sweet-loving, honey is a rare sweetener, and it is also the love of the nobles, so some people have started to raise honey artificially. Compared with the sought-after honey, beeswax is not very popular.It is still used as a medicinal material, so the price is much lower. Of course, this low price is still a price that ordinary people cannot afford.

    "Your Highness has run out. If you need it, I will contact the beekeeper tomorrow."

    "Then you buy more, at least fifty-five denominations."

    Fifty-five debens weigh about ten catties, which is enough for her to make a lot of beeswax candles.

    "Good Your Majesty."

    The next day, Ella gave the letter she had written to Tetis and asked her to find someone to send it to Tanis, and asked Debbie to pick some cotton bolls that had not been fully spun out of the cotton potted plants brought back, and peeled them off.The outer shell stripped the cotton wool from the seeds and put it in the sun to dry. She wanted to use it when she came back, so she took the guards and went to the craftsman's area. She wanted to find pottery craftsmen to burn the lampstands for oil lamps.

    It turned out that there were no pottery craftsmen in the palace. They all worked in pottery factories outside the city. If she wanted to see pottery craftsmen, she had to send someone to find them now, or she had to go to the pottery factory.side.

    And the pottery factory is built outside the city, if you go to call for someone, it will take at least two daylight hours for the craftsman to come.

    Fortunately, Ella has already drawn the blueprint of the lampstand, which is the most common style of oil lamp in ancient China. She handed over the blueprint to the chief craftsman, and asked him to send someone to the pottery factory for the craftsmen to directly fire.

    Because this thing can be used by everyone, and it is not a valuable thing, Ella plans to make a few more for everyone to use, so she ordered: "You can burn more, and some of them can be added with a little pattern. ThisLet them play by themselves, as long as it looks good and the meaning is good, the rest is unnecessary.”

    She intends to give this kind of patterned lampstand to Lucis, he needs lighting at night more than her. The king is still very diligent, and sometimes he works at night, but the lighting of the brazier can be imagined, don't worry.Seeing that his eyes are good now, it will be troublesome if he becomes short-sighted in the future.

    And the things given to the king can't be the same as others, naturally they should be more exquisite.

    The master craftsman nodded to express his understanding.

    The custom-made lampstand was just a temporary idea, and Ella came here this time mainly for papermaking.

    In the palace, it is not a specialized craftsman who is responsible for making papyrus, but a group of slaves. The amount of papyrus consumed in the palace is considerable every day. These slaves need to produce continuously day and night to meet everyone's consumption.

    Fortunately, this job does not require much skill. When heard that Ella needed some people to help her make a new kind of paper, the head craftsman thought she was looking for someone to make papyrus. Many nobles like to have people make papyrus.When making papyrus, add some fragrant flowers and plants to it, and the papyrus made in this way will have a special fragrance for a certain period of time.

    He thought that Ella was the same, so he called a few slaves who were in charge of making papyrus.

    "These few are familiar, you can tell them what you need."

    The slaves were illiterate, and they couldn't understand the scroll that Ella wrote yesterday, so she still needed to explain it to them.

    The process of papermaking that Aila knows is: cutting, soaking, mixing ash, steaming, pounding, beating, papermaking, drying, and peeling, a total of nine steps.

    In summary, the raw materials are chopped and soaked in flowing water until soft, then poured into lime water, stirred and soaked for a period of time, then poured into a bucket, covered with a layer of cloth, and steamed over medium heatAfter the cooked raw materials are cleaned, they are placed in a pounder and pounded repeatedly to form a pulp, and then the pulp is poured into a papermaking tank filled with clean water and continuously stirred to make a pulp, and then the pulp is repeatedly drawn with a papermaking curtain to form a thin sheetShaped wet paper, and finally squeeze out the excess water on the wet paper and then dry it, you can get a piece of finished paper.

    These processes were both familiar and unfamiliar to the slaves. When they made papyrus, they also needed to cut the papyrus into thin slices and soak them in water. They also beat the papyrus in the middle, but there were no other processes.Does not shred the papyrus.

    However, although it is an unfamiliar production process, since it is the order of Her Royal Highness, they will of course follow it.

    It’s just that Ella’s production process sounds like it needs a lot of tools and enough space, but the artisan area doesn’t have such a large space or tools, and the slaves don’t know what to do.

    Fortunately, Ella didn't mean to embarrass them. She would find other craftsmen to make the tools she needed. As for the venue, she thought she could ask the kitchen to see if she could borrow a space next to the open space used by their kitchen.

    In fact, it is more appropriate to buy a house near the river to make paper, but Ella needs to supervise their work to avoid mistakes in the middle process, and it is inconvenient to leave the palace.

    But when these people get started, they will have to change the location of papermaking. After all, papermaking still pollutes the environment. Fortunately, the output of handmade paper is limited. As long as the waste water is treated properly, it can be completely digested with the purification ability of nature.

    "Today, your job is to collect materials. You must have each of the types of raw materials I mentioned. The more the better."

    Ella doesn't know what kind of formula makes the paper more suitable. Naturally, they need to try the ratio by themselves, and the consumption in this process may not be small.

    In order for them to collect more materials, Ella also lent them the carts and oxen that were delivered yesterday. As her future travel tools, the oxcart is not suitable for lending.

    It’s just that this has saved the slaves a lot of work. The materials mentioned by Ella are very easy to obtain, and almost no money is required except for hemp. There is a lot of papyrus in the artisan area.Now that His Highness has lent them the cart, the slaves can go to the field by the river to collect these materials without having to carry them back.

    As for the chopping of the raw materials, it is not troublesome to send them to the running water for soaking. The palace was originally built on the edge of the Inrula River, and there are many artificial waterways. You just need to find a suitable one near the palace..

    After making sure that the slaves remembered her words, Ella left some money for them as funds for purchasing raw materials, and let them go to work.

    After that, Ella, as she said, asked a carpenter to order extra-large wooden barrels, paper-making curtains, and paper-making troughs. After making sure that there were no other omissions, she left the craftsman's area and went to the kitchen to ask Najido to borrow a place.

    In fact, Ella's fancy location is some distance away from the open space of the kitchen, the open space near the warehouse area, which does not belong to the scope of the kitchen, and does not require Najido's consent.

    But the taste of lime water is not good, and it is inevitable that some unpleasant smells will waft out during the papermaking process, so no matter whether it is the kitchen or the warehouse, she has to say hello first.

    Moreover, the cooking process also needs to use a stove and fuel. The stove can be piled up a new one, and she plans to find some fuel in the kitchen.

    These are just trivial things, and Ella came to say hello on purpose. Najido was not happy about it. Not only did he readily agree, but he also said that he could talk to her at the warehouse so that she would not have to make another trip.
