Black Iron Crown

Chapter 358: Tranquility before the storm

   The northernmost part of the empire was completely covered by snow at this time. The half-person-high snow made it very difficult to travel. However, because of the harvest last year, these residents seemed full of vitality even in winter.

   Under Rainer's order, all the roads were cleared and no snow remained on the road.

   The residents of the northern territory are not idle in winter. Some hunters, wearing thick fur coats, went hunting in the forest.

   And more people produce gadgets in their own homes that can be sold for some money, and those merchants like to buy these things and sell them everywhere.

   For a time, the handicraft industry in the northern border has once again reached a new level.

   In addition, Leiner asked his people to try various ways to make those wools lose fat successfully.

  Because the season did not catch up this year, only the wool from the slaughtered sheep was collected. By next summer, Reiner will be able to shear the sheep on a large scale.

   But the experiment has been going on for more than two months, but it has not made any progress, which makes Rainer a little irritated.

   The roaring fireplace made the room very warm. Reiner sat back in his chair and began to look through the files. He had nothing to do now, so he simply looked at what was happening in the territory.

  At this moment, Rumbarre and your Wend rushed in and said grinning: "Brother, we are having a snowball fight! Would you like to come and play together?"

  Leiner shook his head helplessly. He will be nineteen years old after this year, so he really doesn't have time to play with the followers who are still children.

   "Is your cold not getting better?" Listening to the nasal sound of the urn in Lombard, he knew that his cold was not getting better yet.

   "Yeah, the **** doctor asked me to eat lime to reduce the fever. That thing was too hot in my mouth, so I beat him up, and I didn't eat the lime!"

   "Hey... you might as well go to the barracks to find military doctors for those doctors. Military doctors are more reliable than them, at least they won't let you eat lime!"

   Lena held his forehead. He was really speechless about the medical level in the territory. He felt that it was time for a hospital to be established.

   "Wait..." Rainer raised his eyebrows suddenly, got up from the chair and said loudly, "You mean lime?"

   "Uh...yeah, lime, that damn..."

   Before Lumbarley could finish speaking, Rainer slapped the table excitedly.

   walked to Rumbarre and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job Rumbarre! I will reward you!"

   "Huh...huh?" Rumbarre looked dumbfounded, but seeing Lenner didn't mean anything to explain, he could only accept this inexplicable admiration.

  Rainer hurriedly walked out of his study, and the laboratory for testing wool degreasing was in a small room in the main castle.

   This room at this time was already full of unpleasant lamb smell, and it was disgusting to walk in.

   However, Rainer didn't care about this at this time, he hurried into the room.

   One by one servants and craftsmen are experimenting, and the big wooden basins are filled with wet wool, and they are washed back and forth in order to get rid of fat.

   But unfortunately, the adhesion of grease is too strong, even if it is washed more than a dozen times, the effect is not very good.

   A craftsman found Rainer entering the room and hurriedly saluted him.

  Leiner nodded and said, "Is there still no improvement now?"

   Listening to Reiner’s question, these craftsmen and servants all showed shame.

   "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, we have lived up to your expectations. Up to now we have not found a way to completely remove the fat from the wool..."

   Looking at the ashamed people, Rainer said warmly: "I don't blame you, now you go get a little lime and sprinkle it in the tub. It should have a good effect!"

   Lumbarre’s words reminded Lehner that he remembered that in his previous life, the traditional Chinese writing tool, the brush, was invented with lime by a Mongolian general who did not want to reveal his identity.

   The writing brush at that time and Lener's wool face the same problem.

   Animal fur has grease on it. If it is not degreased, the ink dipping ability will decrease a lot, making it unsuitable for writing at all.

  The same goes for wool. If it is all grease, it cannot be spun.

  The craftsmen immediately ran out of the room and went to the doctor to look for lime. Mecaron’s doctor had served here before. Reiner did not drive him away after occupying this place, but he never let him see a doctor.

   There are all kinds of strange materials used by him as medicine, but the group headed by Reiner does not believe that these things can really cure diseases.

   Although I don't know what the Lord Earl wants lime to do, the servant here still moved all the lime stocks from the doctor here.

   There was a big bag of lime, and Rainer carefully took out some with a shovel, and put it in a wooden barrel.

  The craftsman and the servants looked at each other.

   "What is this going to do?" Everyone thought like this.

   They can’t understand the behavior of Lord Earl, so they put medicinal materials in a bucket to soak the wool?

   However, each of them is just Rainer's subordinate. They are loyal to him. Even if Rainer does something strange, no one will give his opinion.

   As for what I think in my heart, it is unknown.

   "Holy Father! Come and see! The grease has really been separated!" A craftsman quietly walked to the side of the wooden barrel, and screamed when he saw the scene inside the barrel.

   "This... how does Lord Earl understand this!"

   "Master Earl is a genius!"

  Before Rainer threw the "precious" lime into the wooden barrel, these people still quietly felt that Lord Earl would just give orders without knowing anything.

   These people are all skilled craftsmen on weekdays, and they are naturally very proud of the things they use to settle down.

   Now, in front of the iron-clad facts, they are finally convinced. There really are people in this world who are born to know them.

   "Master Earl...really useful..."

  The craftsmen walked to Reiner~lightnovelpub.net~ and said in awe.

Reiner looked at the oily bucket gradually floating, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and said with a meaningful expression: "I will use these limes to degrease wool in the future. I don't know how much is needed. The ratio is up to you. Experiment and find a way to use the least lime but still degrease!"

   "Yes, Lord Earl!" Everyone looked at Leiner with the same eyes as the divine father descended to the world. Leiner was omnipotent in their eyes at this time. He knew even such trivial things, let alone other?

  Rainer walked out of the room. The success of degreasing made him feel very happy, and came to the top of the main castle of Mecalon with a light posture.

   The height of nearly twenty meters allows Reiner to cast his eyes far away.

   The entire northern border was wrapped in silver clothes for an endless horizon. As far as he could see, smoke was rising towards the sky, and several straight stone roads followed the two gates of Mecaron and looked far away.

   exhaled for nothing, Rainer turned his gaze to the south.

   "A rare peace..." For several consecutive winters, he hadn't been calm, looking at a peaceful and quiet territory, he couldn't help but sigh.

   "I just hope this is not the last peace before the turmoil..."...
