Black Iron Crown

"What!" As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked instantly.

They all looked at the old man and asked anxiously: "Is this true, Mr. Battelle? Are you sure that the new weaving equipment no longer needs sisal and flax?"

"Hey..." Looking at the reactions of these people, the old Mr. Battelle sighed helplessly, and said, "It's absolutely true, I heard this from a friend of mine, he is the son of Duke Rainer. A middle-level courtier!"

Hearing this, all the people present stopped talking, and they all fell silent in unison.

Suddenly, the middle-aged Roselle said: "This is really ridiculous. What kind of fabric does not need flax and sisal?"

"What's the matter!" Old Battelle shook his head and said: "Velvet, pearl yarn, these are not made of sisal and linen!"

"But that's a luxury!" Roselle said dissatisfied.

"If they are also mass-produced, are they still luxury goods?" Old Battelle glanced at him and said coldly.

Even if he wanted to refute it, Roselle had to admit that the old Battelle was right. If the production volume really reached a level where everyone could have one, then its price would decrease accordingly.

"So, what is that flying shuttle thing?"

"It's not clear yet, but it's definitely a huge blow for us!"

There was another silence.

After a while, Roselle said: "The triple output is fake, who knows if it's a scam that Duke Rainer came up with to make money!"

"That's impossible!" Another person immediately retorted: "Not to mention whether the Reiner tool man will use his reputation to make this bet, he is not short of money in the first place!"

"Crazy luxury white sugar, absolutely indispensable steel, and various special products in the northern border, as well as the recent crazy development of northern border business, it is impossible for the Duke of Leiner to be short of money, so three times the speed of weaving is not enough. It can't be fake!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Roselle smiled strangely and said, "Maybe what you said is right, but if we think it's fake, he should be fake!"

Battelle frowned subconsciously: "You mean..."

"That's right, Mr. Battle, we can make really,

Also become fake! "

December 30th, twenty-five years of the Empire.

This is the last day of twenty-five years of empire.

But on this day, a rumor began to spread uncontrollably and crazily throughout the entire northern border.

At this time, more than 20 villages and more than 4,000 people have received the shuttles distributed by Leiner.

"Have you heard that the flying shuttle sent by the Duke is a lie. He wants us to destroy the past tools after we get this tool that seems to increase the production of cloth, and then produce cloth by ourselves to make money for ourselves. profit!"

"But that's not what I heard. I heard that it's because the cloth is wool, which needs wool to weave, and the owner of the largest flock is the Duke. He wants to gain benefits through this."

Rumors began to spread among the residents, and they began to doubt the authenticity of Reiner's order, but a large number of residents still chose to believe their Lord Duke.

"Damn it, Duke Rainer's reputation in the northern border is too high, many people are willing to believe him, we have to think of other ways!" Roselle said angrily, and the other five people also agreed. Nod.

"Dear sir, how do you sell this little thing? It looks like a good toy, why don't I buy it for a coin?" A businessman said to the villagers in front of him.

"This is a weaving tool sent by the Duke, I can't sell it to you!" said the villager.

"Two coppers! It can't be any higher!" The businessman stretched out two fingers, as if he had made up his mind.

"To be honest, if the price is higher, I will lose money! Two coppers are already the highest price I can give!"

"Take these two copper coins and go to the tavern for a drink to make yourself happy. You must be very tired from working all day. Go and relax!"

The businessman said to the residents in front of him in a deceptive tone.

"Well... well, Mr. Merchant, maybe you are right!" the villager hesitated and said.

"Deal?" The businessman stretched out his left hand.

"make a deal!"

The two sides clapped hands, and the transaction was concluded immediately.

The merchant bought a flying shuttle at the price of two coppers, and within three days, more than two thousand flying shuttles left the hands of the villagers one after another.

"My lord, I have something to report to you!" Logan knocked on the door of Reiner's study and said softly outside.

"What's the matter?" Reiner looked at Logan who opened the door and asked.

"In the recent period, rumors about the shuttle have spread throughout the northern border. They think that the shuttle cannot greatly increase the speed of weaving as you said, and they think it is just a tool for you to make money!"

Reiner, who was at his desk handling official business, raised his head and frowned at Logan.

"reason?"

"Sorry, Lord Duke, I haven't investigated it yet, but based on the information and the types of rumors, I speculate that this is not an unconscious discussion among the villagers, but more like someone spreading it with ulterior motives!"

"Oh?" Listening to Logan's words, Reiner raised his brows slightly, and said with a half-smile: "That's good, let's continue to investigate, existence will leave traces, I really want to see who is behind the scenes. !"

"Yes, Lord Duke! I will investigate the person behind the scenes as soon as possible. As long as they are exposed to the sun, no one can stand against the great Duke of the North!"

"Very good!" Reiner nodded slightly: "Investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

"As you wish, my master!" Logan bowed and left the study.

After Logan left, Reiner leaned back on the chair and began to think.

Who is responsible for all this is really worth pondering.

"Should I pass on the method used so that they can taste the benefits?" Leiner felt that this had to be put on the agenda.

"Wait...maybe not for now..."

Thinking of this, Reiner shouted to the servant outside the door: "Call me Logan!"

"Is there anything else, my lord?" Logan asked.

"Let your people monitor the residents' reactions to these rumors, and then report to me!" Reiner said, gently tapping the table.

"Uh...as you wish, my lord duke!"

"If you have nothing to do, then I will go to investigate first?"

Lena nodded.

Yes, Reiner does not intend to directly convey the method of using the shuttle to appease the people as soon as possible.

A small flying shuttle can't make the northern border turbulent. He just took this opportunity to see what kind of image he has in the hearts of the residents of the northern border.

This is related to Lena's judgment of himself in the future.

In addition, he also hopes to catch the person behind the scenes, otherwise, once it is proved that he has an extraordinary weaving speed, those who fear that the world will not be chaotic will shrink back and never show up again.
