Black Iron Crown

Chapter 431: Attention caused by wool cloth

"Fissot?" The middle-aged man who called himself Old Rim limped out of the room.

  

   His left leg was lame, which was caused during the War of Unification of the Redka Kingdom more than 20 years ago.

  

   When others laughed at him, he always said that I used to be a brave soldier until I hit an arrow in the knee.

  

   Benefiting from the experience of many battles on the battlefield, he trained his two eldest sons who were lucky enough not to bite into strong men, and successfully joined Rainer's army.

  

   So, their family has become richer, and they are not a small landlord in this village.

  

   "But what's the use? Our family doesn't make money from textiles!" The respect for Lord Duke made him not laugh as usual and threw the shuttle to the ground, but said euphemistically.

  

   "My two sons have a lot of bounty. I still have so much land in my family. I really don't need this!"

  

   "Don't talk about old Rim like that!" The village official waved his hand and said, "This is the order of the Lord Duke. He hopes that our residents can do something in their leisure time and create better living conditions for the family.

  

   "It can increase the speed of weaving to more than three times the current speed!"

  

   "Three times the speed?" Old Rim thought about the small weaving tool that had been covered with dust and had not been used for many years. The spinning speed like an old carriage left a deep impression on him.

  

   But the clothes that everyone wears are woven like that.

  

   "Three times the speed, it is really fast, I am willing to try it, but how is it used?"

  

   Old Rim was a little tempted. If there is such a speed, it can indeed produce a lot of value.

  

   "I don't know this for the time being. The Lord Duke is still making flying shuttles. The first batch is distributed to you for free. If you want to worry about it in the future, you need to spend money. Remember to protect it!"

  

   "In other words, this thing is just a trash for the time being?" Old Rim suddenly became uninterested.

  

  Although the Duke Lord’s wise martial arts have been invincible enough to make many people ignore the fact that he is only nineteen years old this year, he still cannot change his youth status in any way.

  

   Hearing the words of the village official, Old Rim felt that this was because the Lord Duke’s young temper had broken out, and he wanted to do something to prove himself.

  

   "Obviously, there is no need to prove it. The previous wars and a series of wise laws have proved that he is a qualified ruler!"

  

   Old Rim thought this way, but on the surface he didn't show his inner thoughts.

  

   "Of course not. After a while, Lord Duke will send someone to teach you how to use the shuttle, which will increase your income!"

  

   Over the course of three days, countless flying shuttles were transported from the temporary carpenter workshops in the city of Mekalong to the villages near Mekalong.

  

   This attracted the attention of merchants who bought handicraft products in various villages in the north.

  

   "What is this?" A local merchant in the northern border looked at the shuttle in his hand and asked curiously.

  

  He has been in the northernmost part of the northern border for this period of time, near Fort Merand near the boreal forest.

  

   He is mainly engaged in the fur business. In the fall, the beasts have made enough preparations for the winter, hoarding a lot of fat crazy, so the quality of the winter fur is the best, not only very thick, but also very beautiful in the morning.

  

   After buying a large car of fur, he returned to the vicinity of Mekalong, planning to buy some handicraft products in the villages here as filling, and transport the fur to the south to sell.

  

   So, he noticed the flying shuttle that was assigned to every household.

  

   "This is a flying shuttle, distributed by the Lord Duke, saying that it can increase the spinning speed three times!" The villager said casually.

  

   "Three times the spinning speed!" These words instantly set off a stormy sea in the businessman's heart.

  

   The commercial atmosphere in the north is not very developed. Although it has developed rapidly under Ezehi's operation and the policy promised by Reiner, there is still a huge gap between it and the south.

  

   When he was doing business in the South, he knew the selling price of fabrics. If he could triple the output at the current stage, it would mean a significant reduction in costs and an increase in the quantity of goods.

  

   The businessman's breathing became rapid. He seemed to have seen his bright future. He thought he had discovered a business opportunity that could make him rich.

  

   "So, what is the real output?" He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked as calmly as possible.

  

   "Who knows!" the villager said with a shrug.

  

   "Don't know?" The businessman was very puzzled: "Didn't you try it?"

  

   "We don't know the method used!" The villager explained: "This is distributed by Lord Duke. It is said that the output can be increased by three times, but no one knows how to do it now!"

  

   The corners of the businessman's mouth twitched, and he was full of joy thinking that he was going to turn over, and this was the result in the end.

  

   Not only the businessman, but the eyes of the others were also attracted by Rainer's fanfare.

  

   A plaque named "The King's Wardrobe" is hung on a medium-sized building in Mecalon City.

  

   It is naturally not a small shop that dares to call such a name.

  

   Actually, this is a huge chamber of commerce with a long history.

  

   including the name "King's Wardrobe" is also an old antique that has been circulating for more than 150 years.

  

   This is a title bestowed by a king of the Morland family in the past, and later became the name of this chamber of commerce.

  

   They were originally the local chamber of commerce in the north. Later, with the unification of the Redka Empire, they set their sights on the larger southern part of the market.

  

   can only provide some dried animal skins, and the background of a small amount of currency is no longer their business focus.

  

   However, no matter how small the fly is, it is meat, and they still have not given up on the market in the north.

  

   They almost monopolize the linen business in the entire northern territory, including the sale of raw materials such as sisal and flax.

  

Although plants such as sisal and flax cannot be grown in the north, in the final analysis, due to the influence of the climate, the production will be reduced. Under the squeeze of their cheaper and high-quality sisal flax, there is no one. After planting ~lightnovelpub.net~, they obtain a lot of gold coins and various special products in the north every year, and the benefits are huge.

  

   Inside this chamber of commerce, there are six more gorgeously dressed people. They are the heads of the Northern Territory.

  

   "I think this is actually a good thing, isn't it?"

  

   "Why do you say that?" This tripled the amount of weaving. We can ship flax from other places to sell in the north, and then let them weave into a cheaper and larger quantity of fabric, and then we buy it and sell it elsewhere! "

  

   "Think about it, what a huge benefit this is!"

  

   "However, in this way, we will completely lose our monopoly position. Of course there are benefits, but more people will grab the market that should belong to us!"

  

   "Stop arguing first!" An old man tapped on the ground with his cane and said, "As far as I know, linen and sisal are no longer needed for weaving this new fabric. They use another material!"
