After completing the task, the agricultural officer paid a visit to Arthur: "My king, I have distributed the "Instruction Manual" to all the nobles under my jurisdiction as you requested."

"Very good!" Arthur sat on the throne, reviewing the government affairs sent from below, and nodded to the agricultural officer, "You have done a great job in completing my task on time!"

"Thank you for your compliments, my king!" The agricultural officer bowed slightly and saluted Arthur.

"Well, but I still have a task to give you!"

As he spoke, Arthur raised his head from government affairs, grabbed a few bags from the table, and threw them to the agricultural officer standing not far away.

Quickly catching the bag, the agricultural officer looked at Arthur with a greeting. After receiving the signal, he opened the bag.

"These are... seeds?" The agricultural officer looked at the contents of the two bags and saw what was in the bags.

"Yes, they are seeds!" Arthur smiled and nodded to the agricultural officer, "These are seeds improved by magic!"

"I won't hide it from you. Since the Age of Gods has become weaker and weaker, we in Britain are already in the final stage of the Age of Gods. In about ten years, all the true ether on the entire island of Britain will disappear. Even with the agricultural production I improved earlier,

This way, food output can be enhanced. But over the past few years, our food output has still inevitably declined.

Our British food has adapted to the environment filled with true ether. Once the true ether is exhausted, the food will inevitably decrease or even become extinct. These food seeds have been transformed by magic to adapt to this changing environment and will be effective in the future.

to avoid this problem from happening.”

Listening to Arthur's story, the agricultural officer couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

In fact, although the agricultural officer knew that the Age of Gods was about to end, he did not know when the last Age of Gods would end.

He originally guessed it would be decades later, but he never expected that the Age of Gods would end so quickly.

After hearing the news, the agricultural officer couldn't help but be shocked. Even what Arthur said later, he had no intention of continuing to listen.

Arthur was talking here, and when he saw the agricultural officer's distracted look, he knew that the other party did not hear what he said next, so he simply took out a piece of parchment and threw it to the other party.

The agricultural officer was awakened by the parchment thrown in front of him. He hurriedly caught the parchment and heard Arthur say: "All the information about the seeds in your hand is recorded on the parchment. You can think about it carefully after you take it back."

Bar!"

After hearing King Arthur's instructions, the agricultural officer glanced at the parchment, held a pile of seeds in cloth bags in his arms, bowed to Arthur, and then withdrew.

After the agricultural officer left, Arthur glanced at the pile of parchment in front of him, and the disgusting smell in his nose made his mood worse.

This parchment looks tough, but the smell is really not good. The parchment is made of sheepskin, and it has the smell of rotten fur. In addition, if it is not handled properly, the smell is even worse when mixed with it.

, which is disgusting to hear.

In order to deal with government affairs these days, Arthur has been enduring the torture of these smells. Now that the government affairs are almost done, he can finally get rid of these smells temporarily.

However, whenever he thought about having to bury his head in these smelly parchments when dealing with subsequent government affairs, Arthur couldn't help but turn green.

"No, no, we must have people make paper. Even if we don't have paper for writing, we must at least have paper for wiping our butts!" I remember two months ago, I asked people to soak a batch of tree bark. Now,

It should be ready for use, right?"

Thinking of this, Arthur immediately set off to a remote place in the corner of the palace.

The raw materials required for paper making can meet the requirements after nearly three months of soaking. Arthur asked people to process these raw materials according to the steps of paper making.

After beating, bleaching, papermaking and drying, it took seven or eight days to finally successfully produce off-white paper.

Arthur stroked the successfully created paper and secretly sighed in his heart: "I finally made the paper, and now I can finally get rid of the smelly parchment!"

Merlin on the side looked at the paper placed in front of Arthur, and his original frivolous smile disappeared at some point.

"Artolis, you should know that this thing should not appear here, nor should it appear in this era."

Indeed, the emergence of paper has had a huge impact on a civilization.

According to the original historical process, paper did not exist in Europe until the 12th century. Before that, parchment was used in Europe. The high cost of parchment also made it difficult to spread knowledge, and most knowledge was

was in the hands of the aristocracy.

Arthur has now created paper, which will inevitably break the monopoly of knowledge and cause turmoil at all levels. Moreover, the impact of this thing will cause great changes in history, which is not what Merlin wants to see.

When Arthur heard Merlin's persuasion, he just raised his eyebrows and said casually: "I know this thing will change the course of civilization, but so what?"

When Arthur asked back, Merlin couldn't help but remain silent. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Forget it, you just have to know what's going on!"

Merlin stopped interfering, and Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting the paper, Arthur issued an order for the craftsmen to start mass production. He also issued an order to use it for all future government records.

Although the flexibility of the parchment is not as good as that of parchment, the parchment is cheap and easy to obtain, which can make up for the shortcomings of parchment. And with King Arthur's personal order, paper quickly became popular.

With paper replacing parchment, Arthur also began to reform government affairs.

The first point is that when writing dossier, they can be allowed to write down various data in detail. With the fixed writing format implemented by Arthur, the dossier recording government affairs no longer has those vague words such as "a certain number, approximately" and so on.

The standardized writing format of government files, coupled with clear data records and reports, gave Arthur a detailed understanding of all aspects of the entire Camelot dynasty.

Although only a few small measures were taken to reform government affairs, it was these measures that allowed Arthur to quietly control most of the rights he could control at this stage without leaving any traces.

All this was seen by Merlin.

At the same time, the agriculture on the other side is also changing quietly.

The "Agricultural Production Instruction Manual" disseminated by Arthur completely changed the agricultural production methods of the Kingdom of Camelot. Standardized cultivation and planting allowed the gradually declining food production to rebound again.

At the same time, the improved seeds taken away by the agricultural officers also exerted their due power.

In order to solve the problem of the decline of true ether and the reduction of British crop yields, Arthur specially transformed a batch of improved seeds. These two species can absorb the power of the sun, moon and stars, and transform themselves into true ether magic inside the plants. As long as the sun, moon and stars still exist

, even in places where the Age of Gods has completely subsided, these crops can still grow normally.

Moreover, these grains contain true ether, which is very suitable for Britain's remnants of the Age of Gods and can effectively supplement the various problems caused by the decline of true ether.

Even because the food produced by this modified breed is rich in true ether magic, this kind of food is more suitable for powerful knights and can well maintain the knights' combat effectiveness and physical strength.
