Black Iron Crown

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

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

The residents of the northern border were not idle in winter. Some hunters wore thick fur coats and went hunting in the forest.

And more people produce some gadgets that can sell some money in their own homes, and those businessmen like to buy these things and sell them around.

For a while, the handicraft industry in the northern border has once again stepped up to a higher level.

In addition, Reiner asked the people under his command to try various methods, how to make the wool lose fat successfully.

This year, because the season didn't catch up, we only collected the wool from the slaughtered sheep. By next summer, Leiner will be able to shear sheep on a large scale.

However, the experiment has been going on for more than two months, but there is still no progress, which makes Reiner a little annoyed.

The blazing fireplace made the room very warm. Reiner sat back on the chair and began to flip through the files. He had nothing to do now, so he just looked at what happened in the territory.

And at this moment, Lumbare and you Wende rushed in, and said with a smile: "Brother, we are having a snowball fight! Do you want to come and play together?"

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

"Is your cold still not good?" Listening to Lumbare's snorting nasal voice, he knew that his cold was not good yet.

"Yeah, the damn doctor actually asked me to eat some lime to reduce the fever. It was too hot in my mouth, so I beat him up, and I didn't even eat the lime!"

"Tsk... You might as well go to the military camp to find a military doctor than those doctors. Military doctors are more reliable than them. At least they won't let you eat lime!"

Reiner clutched his forehead, he was really speechless about the medical level in the territory, he felt that it was time to build a hospital.

"Wait..." Reiner raised his eyebrows suddenly, stood up from the chair and said loudly, "You mean Lime?"

"Uh...yeah, Lime, that damn..."

Before Lumbare finished speaking, Reiner slapped the table excitedly.

Walked up to Lumbare and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job Lumbare! I will reward you!"

"Ah...ah?" Lumbare looked confused, but seeing that Reiner didn't mean to explain at all, he could only accept this inexplicable appreciation.

Reiner hurried out of his study, the laboratory for experimenting with wool degreasing was in a small room in the main castle.

At this time, the room was already filled with an unpleasant smell of mutton, and it was disgusting to walk in.

But at this moment, Reiner didn't care about this, he hurried into the room.

Servants and craftsmen are experimenting one by one, and the large wooden basins are filled with wet wool, and they are washed back and forth to remove fat.

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

A craftsman found Reiner who entered the room,

Hastily bowed towards him.

Reiner nodded and said, "Is there still no improvement?"

Listening to Reiner's question, these craftsmen and servants all showed ashamed expressions.

"I'm sorry, Earl, we failed your expectations, and we haven't found a way to completely remove the fat from the wool..."

Looking at the ashamed people, Reiner said softly, "I don't blame you, now you go and get some lime and sprinkle it into the wooden basin, it should have a good effect!"

What Lumbare said before reminded Reiner that in his previous life, the brush, a traditional writing tool of the Chinese dynasty, was invented by a general surnamed Meng who did not want to reveal his identity with lime.

The brushes of the time faced the same dilemma as the wool of Rainer now.

Animal fur has oil on it. If it is not degreased, the ability to dip ink will be greatly reduced, and it is not suitable for writing at all.

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

The craftsmen immediately ran out of the room to look for lime at the doctor's side. The doctor of Mecaron had served here before. Reiner didn't drive him away after occupying the place, but he didn't let him see a doctor either.

It can be said that all kinds of strange materials in his place are used as medicine by him, but the group led by Reiner does not believe that these things can really cure diseases.

Although he didn't know what the Earl wanted the lime for, the servants here still moved all the lime stock from the doctor's place here.

There was a whole big bag of lime, and Reiner carefully took out some with a shovel, and put it into the wooden barrel.

The craftsmen and servants looked at each other.

"What is this for?" Everyone thought in their hearts.

They couldn't understand the behavior of the earl, and put the medicinal materials into the bucket to soak the wool?

However, each of them is just Reiner's subordinate, they are loyal to him, even if Reiner does something strange, no one will express their opinion.

As for what to think in my heart, I don't know.

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

"This... How could the Earl understand this!"

"Your Earl is simply a genius!"

Before Reiner sprinkled the "precious" lime into the wooden barrel, these people still secretly felt that the Earl didn't understand anything and ordered randomly.

This group of people are usually skilled craftsmen, and they are naturally very proud of the things they use to live and work.

Now, in front of the iron-like facts, they are finally convinced that there are really people who are born knowing in this world.

"Your Earl...it's really useful..."

The craftsmen walked up to Leiner and said in admiration.

Leiner looked at the bucket with a layer of oil stars gradually floating up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and said with a meaningful expression: "In the future, I will use these limes to degrease the wool. I don't know how much it will take. The ratio depends on you. Experiment and find out what uses the least amount of lime and still skims the fat!"

"Yes, Lord Earl!" Everyone looked at Reiner as if they were watching the Holy Father descend to earth. In their eyes, Reiner was simply omnipotent, knowing even such trivial matters, let alone other things?

Reiner walked out of the room. The successful degreasing made him feel very happy, and he came to the top of the main castle of Mecaron with a light body.

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

The entire northern border was covered in silver, and as far as he could see, smoke from cooking houses rose towards the sky, and several straight stone roads followed the two city gates of Mecaron towards the distance.

Exhaling a breath of white air, Reiner turned his gaze to the south.

"A rare peace..." He has not been safe for several consecutive winters, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw a peaceful and quiet territory.

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