Qi Xingyun nodded with a relaxed look and replied, "Well, it has been resolved. I am going back now. You must pay more attention to the safety of your home."

He certainly wouldn't tell Ermao that it was actually Xiaocaoer who asked him to come. Although she didn't ask him to come at night, it was still her who asked him to come.

"Brother Xingyun, if grandma and parents knew that you came to look for your sister in the middle of the night, I wonder if they would break your legs." Ermao asked.

Qi Xingyun glanced at Ermao and said, "Aren't you watching here? If something like this can happen, I think grandma will break your legs first."

After saying that, he gently waved goodbye to Ermao, then his figure flashed, and like a ghost, he displayed his peerless lightness skills and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Ermao stared at the direction where Qi Xingyun left for a while, then slowly turned around and looked towards Xiaocao'er's room.

The lights there had already been turned off at this time. Thinking that my sister should have rested peacefully, I touched my nose and turned back to my own yard.

Qi Xingyun hurried back to Prince Yun's Mansion. After entering the palace, he did not stop for a moment and directly summoned Yun Er and other trusted subordinates.

It's so late, and the master still wants to gather everyone together. There must be something big going on.

Papermaking is indeed a big deal.

Qi Xingyun explained the relevant matters to everyone in detail with a serious face, and made careful deployment and arrangements one by one. After everything was explained, everyone dispersed as if relieved, and each acted according to the instructions.

The next day, Qi Xingyun took Yun Liu to the Yang family. Along the way, the breeze gently brushed their clothes, which was quite pleasant.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the Yang family's mansion. As soon as they entered the door, they happened to catch up with the Yang family enjoying a delicious breakfast.

Old Lady Yang had sharp eyes. She spotted Qi Xingyun and Yunliu at a glance and immediately greeted them warmly: "Xingyun, and Xiaoliu, you two haven't had breakfast yet, right? You've come at the perfect time. Come over and eat together!"

When Yun Liu heard this, his face immediately broke into smiles and he ran to Old Lady Yang like a happy little rabbit.

He kept muttering, "Grandma, you are so right! I haven't eaten yet and I am so hungry. I am so lucky to have such a sumptuous breakfast at home. Oh, I haven't tasted breakfast at home for a long time. I have been thinking about it all the time!"

As for the elderly, they like to hear others praise the good things in their homes the most.

At this moment, when Old Lady Yang heard Yun Liu express his love for her breakfast so frankly, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and quickly said, "Since Xiao Liu likes our breakfast so much, you must come to our house often in the future!"

"Okay! Then I'd like to thank the old lady first!" Yun Liu was so happy when he heard that that he agreed immediately.

After breakfast, Qi Xingyun found Xiao Cao'er and whispered to her, "I have arranged for people to prepare the materials that need to be prepared since I came back yesterday. There are also some other things that need to be used, which are also being prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, everything should be in place tomorrow, and we can officially start working."

"Okay, but remember, when you ask them to collect the bark, they must be careful. Don't be silly and peel off the whole tree! We have to pick out the dry bark first." Xiao Cao'er blinked his bright big eyes and warned seriously.

Qi Xingyun: "Don't worry, I have explained all this to them clearly."

Papermaking is a science. In addition to tree bark, other materials such as hemp and rags can also be used.

Next you have to follow certain steps.

First of all, you need to put the selected raw materials into a large pot and steam them, and soak them for a while to make them soft.

After the raw materials become soft, they have to be mashed together and stirred continuously until they become a fine pulp.

Next, you need to take out a special bamboo curtain to scoop out the paper pulp. With this scoop, a wet paper blank will take shape.

Finally, you just need to find a place with plenty of sunlight and good ventilation, spread out the wet paper carefully to dry, and now, sheets of paper as thin as a cicada's wing are ready!

All the staff involved in paper production were Qi Xingyun's trusted subordinates without exception. They strictly followed the strategy discussed by Xiao Cao'er and Qi Xingyun.

First, everyone gathered in the Prince Yun's Mansion to start making paper. After the first batch of paper was successfully produced, they would consider building a workshop dedicated to papermaking. This workshop would be jointly operated by Qi Xingyun and the Yang family.

As for how to continue operating the business after the secret recipe of papermaking is handed over to the current emperor, that needs to be discussed and decided separately.

After careful consideration, the Yang family expressed their full agreement with this arrangement. The reason was simple. The recipe for papermaking came from Xiao Cao'er. If the workshop was to be successfully opened and developed, it would inevitably rely on Qi Xingyun's strong support in all aspects.

Moreover, even if Xiaocao'er married into the Yunwang Mansion in the future, judging from her usual behavior, she would definitely not forget to bring the Yang family along to share the prosperity and wealth. For this reason, even Damao and several other Yang brothers readily accepted this proposal.
