Chapter 437: The impact of wool cloth

The wool cloth factory was soon established, and three hundred qualified female workers entered the factory awaiting training the next day.

The two maids who have mastered the weaving method in Reiner's contract will stay here for the time being to teach the female workers how to use the shuttle.

The use of the shuttle is not difficult at first, so in just three days, the female workers have mastered the method of weaving wool cloth, but they are still not proficient.

Trucks of wool washed with lime were sent to the factory, and the women workers began to weave.

With the passage of time, their craftsmanship has become more and more sophisticated, and the spinning speed has become faster and faster, gradually reaching three times the real speed.

Reiner nodded with satisfaction at the document on the output of the textile mill in his hand, and said to the Earl of Cod: "Five days later, people will immediately sell wool cloth on the surface, and sell it at one-third the price of linen cloth. go out!"

With a smile on Lena's face, he could already think of how much profit these woollen cloths could generate.

Just the amount of textiles in these ten days can meet the needs of three to four thousand residents around Mecalon City, and the price is lower than that of linen, so there is no need to worry about slow sales.

At this time, in the "King's Wardrobe" Chamber of Commerce, the six leaders gathered again.

"The bad news is that the Duke of Rainer has established a factory that uses Fraxel textiles. I don't know their specific production capacity, but from his behavior, it can be inferred that he is very confident in this factory!"

"It's just a small factory, and it won't make us suffer too much, but we really need to make preparations. Let's reduce the price of selling fabrics by a quarter!" Battelle made use of his previous experience. Made a decision.

"Well, you are right, I believe that as long as we survive this difficult time, the fabric market in the north will remain ours!" Roselle nodded in agreement with Battelle's words.

Although they will suffer greater losses in this way, they have no choice but to keep their own market.

As a result, the residents of the North Territory were surprised to find that the fabrics on the market had miraculously reduced the price by a quarter, which was already much cheaper than usual.

So, in order not to waste this excellent opportunity, they began to buy linen.

Although the sales have gone up, the "King's Wardrobe" group does not feel happy.

Because they not only lowered the selling price of sisal and flax, but also increased the price of finished fabrics purchased from the bottom residents, and they also reduced the price to sell to the local citizens and squires.

They sell at a loss, and the more they sell, the more they lose.

They are now completely biting their heads. If they hadn't monopolized the fabric market in the northern border in the past, they would have been able to sustain it long ago.

"Fortunately, at least the residents have been completely attracted by our fabrics. I believe that even if the Duke of Rainer's fabrics are really woven, they will not be able to seize the market with us!"

Russell looked very haggard during this time, and his beard, which was as meticulous as a nobleman, seemed messy.

In this series of operations, he himself lost more than gold coins. One can imagine how much their entire chamber of commerce has lost.

Logan was also closely observing the matter, and he fully reported every move of the group to Rainer.

After seeing what they did, Renner didn't respond, because he didn't feel the need to act on his own.

Such a dashing chicken is really nothing. When the wool cloth is officially on sale, the outrageously low and efficient production efficiency will make them understand that everything they have done is nothing but futile.

Reiner is watching with cold eyes now, he can already predict the day when this group of people go bankrupt.

Although that would reduce part of his tax income, Lena didn't feel a pity, because there would be more income from wool cloth to fill his treasury.

What's more, the fact that things have come to this step is entirely on their own account.

If they hadn't taken such an extreme approach when confronted with Fraxel, even if they just ignored Fraxel, they would be able to quickly transform with the accumulated wealth after the day when they taught how to use it.

Fully use flying shuttle for weaving, in that case they may only suffer the loss of some raw materials and fabrics, and wool cloth will bring them greater wealth.

But unfortunately, the short-sighted, they took extreme measures against Fraxel, which completely cut off the possibility of their subsequent development.

Otherwise, why does Reiner set up his own factory? Even if it promotes the flying shuttle in the entire northern territory, the individual but individual is definitely not the opponent of their entire chamber of commerce. Maybe they will be the first integrated large-scale wool cloth. Textile factory.

But now, Rainer has sentenced them to death in his heart.

January 22nd, 26th year of the Empire.

early morning.

This is the day when Leiner’s wool cloths are sold on a large scale.

Instead of using Reiner’s own power, he hired a moving team in the city. The woollen cloth in the factory was full of eight large carriages, calculated on the basis of a unit of two meters long and one meter wide as a horse. A full three thousand pieces of fabric were spun out in ten days.

The carriage made a toothy creak, and staggered to the largest market in Mecalon City.

This market is rich in products, whether it is prey in the forest or animal skins, or some bread and simple pastries, broom dung forks are sold.

The arrival of such a huge team directly attracted everyone's attention, and the golden lion coat of arms on the red background on the carriage further explained their identity, which allowed the pedestrians to spontaneously give way to them.

"It's Lord Duke's motorcade, even if it's not Lord Duke's motorcade, it should at least be Lord Cod's motorcade!"

"That's right, I really don't know what's in it!"

Looking at the carriage covered with a layer of cloth, the small businessmen and pedestrians here were talking quietly.

Just as the eyes of many people were attracted here~lightnovelpub.net~ the officials in charge of the factory began to shout.

"Wool cloth! The high-quality wool cloth produced by the Lord Duke’s industry, the northern wool cloth factory! Only one copper piece is needed for every three horses!"

A horse is the unit of measurement of cloth, which refers to the size of two meters long and one meter wide.

After hearing about the wool cloth factory produced by Lord Duke, these Ren were attracted.

The recruitment of the wool cloth factory and the coveted high salary at the time caused much discussion in the whole city.

Now I heard that the factory has produced output, and everyone wants to get together to see what it is.

And when they heard that there was only one copper for every three pieces of fabric, they instantly boiled.

What kind of price is this! Even the worst linen with obvious shortcomings cannot reach such a price.

And the wool cloth in front of us is actually at the price of three horses and one copper, which inevitably makes many people suspicious.
