I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

"Little Eunuch Guan, I can't listen to the next thing! This is the secret of a big man..." The little eunuch ran downstairs and shouted at Guan Yujun who was at the railing.

The farther he ran, the louder he shouted, and after a while Guan Yujun disappeared.

Well, I hope he won't go out and talk nonsense...

Lu Xiaoyue raised her forehead: "Little Eunuch Guan, let's get down to business. Well, do you think the 'period belt' you mentioned just now is useful?

Guan Yujun: "It's not a question of whether it's useful or not. It's really that kind, that kind of indispensable kind... No one sells it in the market, women can't talk about it, they are not clean, and they are very tasteless. But it has always been Better improvements or alternatives without it...

Hey, Lu Xiaoyue, why are you stepping back? !You are too deceitful, I have endured you for a long time! -"

Lu Xiaoyue stopped her back steps: "Little Eunuch Guan, I have been studying for so many years, and I can be regarded as 'there are hills and valleys in my chest', and I have learned to be calm; unless it really shocked me.

But what you think, even I, the first female Jinshi and the first female county magistrate in Dayong, feel that the land is falling apart..."

"It's because I think you are a trustworthy person that I only told you this matter! I not only want 'what I think', but also 'what I do'..."

Hearing Guan Yujun's heart-wrenching words, Lu Xiaoyue couldn't hold back and stepped forward, and put her hand on Guan Yujun's body: "Little Eunuch Guan really thinks that I am a trustworthy person? -"

It was only then that Lu Xiaoyue realized that the resourceful little Eunuch Guan in her eyes was even thinner than her, and his body under the clothes looked like a young boy...

"It's natural. I, Guan Yujun, never do things that harm others or benefit myself. I just want to benefit the world! Xiaoyue, are you interested in joining me?—"

Why do you look like a pyramid schemer?Guan Yujun scratched his head, regretting his words a bit.But who knows that Lu Xiaoyue has fallen into the frenzy of pyramid schemes:

"Little Eunuch Guan, tell me! If Lu Xiaoyue is useful to me, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever I want!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaoyue opened the food box and found that there was no wine in it, so she picked up the cup of "White Dragon Noodles" and poured a small bowl for herself and Guan Yujun: "Come on, little Eunuch Guan, here is If there is no wine, we will replace the wine with crucian carp soup and drink this bowl to the brim!—”

After Guan Yujun took it, "Do it!——"

After drinking, Lu Xiaoyue pulled Guan Yujun to sit on the wooden steps, away from the air vent at the railing:

"Little Eunuch Guan, I have thought about it, and I also use the 'menstrual belt', so I have a right to speak:
When a woman is menstruating, people are not only fragile, but also very easy to get sick due to evil spirits entering the body, so it is necessary to clean the menstrual belt; after I use the menstrual belt, I must rinse it with lime water and scald it with hot water. Only after being exposed to the sun outside can it be put away and reused..."

Guan Yujun nodded, this is also the problem.Many women cover up their menstruation and never show it to others. How can it be done without thorough cleaning? ——

Xiaoyue's cleaning methods are very effective and can be promoted...

"But the cloth on the outer layer of the menstrual belt is secondary, the main material is the inner material, which is the root cause of the illness. Using plant ash or something will not work at all..."

"Yes! It is good to use paper such as rice paper, but if a piece of rice paper is counted from 'feeding', it has to go through many procedures such as peeling, peeling, stepping, bagging, scooping, drying, etc., even if it is not bleached. , it will take more than a year;
Besides, the cost of rice paper is not low, so how can the poor afford such a 'one-off' luxury item? -"

And whether it is papermaking or making aunt's towels, a raw material is involved-wood pulp; the fluff pulp used in modern sanitary napkins is produced from coniferous wood.

And if trees are cut down to make "disposable consumables" such as sanitary napkins, does it seem to be putting the cart before the horse? ——

Lu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up: "By the way, Mr. Guan, cotton is not as expensive as rice paper, why not use that?"

Guan Yujun shook his head and rejected Lu Xiaoyue's answer.

Pure cotton is not enough, it will leak; it still needs to add wood pulp...

and many more!

An idea flashed through Guan Yujun's mind, so fast that he could hardly grasp it...

In addition to wood pulp, there are straw pulp, cotton pulp...all are fiber plants...

Since they have already thought of being an aunt towel, why don't they take a longer view? !Whether it is sanitary napkins or toilet paper, they are all of the same family! ...

Or because of the cost, although toilet paper is available, it is not affordable for ordinary people, and many people recycle "toilet chips";
Guan Yujun, who had figured this out, was trembling with goosebumps all over his body: She had already used enough dry shit pegs!I don't want to use it once again! ...

Papermaking is not limited to wood and bark. Mulberry bark, rattan bark, bamboo, sandalwood bark, wheat straw, rice straw... have not all become the raw materials for papermaking?And her next step is to cultivate "economic" crops that can be seen everywhere, so that the people of the Yong Dynasty can realize the freedom of toilet paper and aunt's towel! ——

Paper has many uses, and the cost of paper made of grass is much lower than that of cloth and silk made of silk and hemp; once it is popularized, it will also reduce the waste of silk and hemp.It will let resources flow to where it should go...

"Hey hey hey hey hey~" Lu Xiaoyue looked at Guan Yujun who was grinning silly all the time with his eyes out of focus, and couldn't help feeling a little hairy at night:
Didn't they discuss the result?How could Mr. Guan be so happy? ——

"Xiaoyue, I have it, I have it!—" Guan Yujun jumped up happily.

"Really?" Lu Xiaoyue also followed closely behind: "What does Mr. Guan think?"

"It's simple, it's the thinking of making paper, but we need to reduce the expenditure on paper making, whether it's bamboo, reed... we can try as much as possible!"

And Guan Yujun also thought that a crop that is full of treasures but has not been planted on a large scale is the real treasure...

Frankly speaking, Lu Xiaoyue didn't understand the logic of this, but if Eunuch Guan said he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it! ——

only……

"Little Eunuch Guan, I suddenly thought of a question—"

"But it doesn't matter."

"If we really make a clean and cheap 'menstrual belt' inner pad material, how can we spread it all over Dayong? Everyone is ashamed to talk about this thing, so we can't 'advertise' it... "

Hey! ~ This is really a problem that cannot be ignored! ——

Lu Xiaoyue patted her chest in a vow: "Don't worry about eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king, Mr. Guan, you worry about the technical matters, and the promotion matters are all on my shoulders!..."
