Black Iron Crown

The acquisitions continued, and Reiner had little to say about it, just continued to let the carpenters build the shuttles and distribute them.

Anyway, the cost of the flying shuttle is extremely low, and it is not difficult to make. Those merchants need to pay taxes for everything they buy. In this way, they can provide themselves with some income, and Reiner did not stop it.

Now their business is booming, but Reiner believes that as soon as woolen cloth appears, their current situation will collapse immediately.

At this time, in a village.

A woman took the woven linen and put it in the courtyard to dry. At this moment, another woman stopped her.

"Oh my God, Eva, you actually weaved so much cloth! This is too fast! Could it be that the Duke's tool really has such a wonderful effect? ​​Praise the Holy Father, you know that tool called the flying shuttle how to use it?"

"Unfortunately it's not..." The young woman named Eva said, "I just increased the daily spinning time!" She yawned wearily as she spoke.

"Well, you really work hard!" The woman asked again: "What do you think of the tool called the shuttle, the Duke's? Can it really have such an efficient spinning speed?"

"Who knows, but I don't think it makes sense. I heard from those people that the weaving tools we use have been used for many years, since the creation of the world by the Holy Father and the first human beings. Nothing has changed in all these years!"

Eva thought for a while and said: "I think this may be the meaning of the Holy Father. People must pay the price for their sins. Only by working hard can they have food, and only by working hard can they have warm clothes."

"The Holy Father will not allow human beings to be lazy. You can get warm clothes in an easier way. However, the Duke's expectations are likely to fail!"

"Hey... Let me tell you, I heard someone say that the Duke is actually doing this to make money! Let us lose all the weaving tools, give us some unusable tools, and then he will manage the weaving industry by himself , and make a fortune!"

"Who did you hear that from?" Eva frowned and said, glancing at the woman beside her.

"Uh... those outsiders, and many people are talking about it!"

"Don't listen to them, don't you know what the Duke has done for us?"

"If the Duke really wants money,

Then there is no need to reduce our taxes so much! "

"In the past when we lived under the command of Earl Zhebo, we had to pay 60% of the tax. Now we only need to pay 30%. If someone in the family joins the army, it will be even less! If the Duke really has shortcomings, do we still need to use this method? ? Wouldn’t it be enough to just raise the tax rate?”

"What's more, do you think the Duke will be short of money? He has won a series of wars, how much spoils he can get, so many people pay taxes for him, and he is not a person who spends money for pleasure. It is said that the city of Mecaron There are only more than two hundred servants in the main castle, do you think the Duke will be short of money?"

The woman named Ai Wa warned the ignorant woman next to her darkly and seriously: "Remember, don't just listen to what anyone says! It may affect your correct judgment!"

"Even if the Duke really failed, I believe that this is definitely not a tool created to make money! It must be that the Duke wanted to make life easier for us hard-working people, but was stopped by the all-knowing and omnipotent Holy Father Even if he is favored by the Holy Father like this, no one can forgive our sins!"

"Well... Maybe what you said is right! What you said is so reasonable!" The woman said as if awakened from a dream: "That's right! How could the duke be so wise and mighty? Such a thing!"

"Sure enough, that is an unbelievable rumor! I will never think of the Duke like this again, and I hope that the Duke's rule will last forever!"

"That's good! Go back to weaving! The price is very high!" Eva said to the neighbor with a smile on her face.

"Hey...Alpha, you are here too!" Eva looked at a middle-aged man with no characteristics in surprise and said, "When did you come here, I didn't even notice you!"

"Hehe... I just came back! I was going to the mountains for winter hunting, but when I came back, I found that my arrows were wrong, they were all bone arrows!" Their fur is thicker, bone arrows can't kill them!"

"That's right! Then you have to hurry up! It's going to be dark today!"

"Yes, then I'll go back first!" Alpha said with a smile.

"A small number of people hold grievances and think that the Duke has ulterior motives, but there are always people who trust the character of the Duke, but still have doubts about the role of the shuttle!"

After Alpha returned to his small house, he rolled a small note into a smaller paper tube and put it in the sealed bucket on a pigeon's leg.

"Go! Tell Lord Logan the news!" Alpha stroked the pigeon in his hand twice, then walked out of the room.

He glanced around vigilantly and found no one around, so he threw the pigeon in his hand into the sky.

"Flopping..." The pigeon's powerful wings fluttered, and it quickly flew into the sky.

"How much bounty will there be this time?" Alpha thought with anticipation.

He is an innocent person under Logan, who is responsible for the intelligence collection and monitoring of these low-level villages. Of course, he is just a low-level intelligence officer.

In the blink of an eye, the time entered the middle of January, the twenty-sixth year of the empire.

Reiner still hasn't conveyed how to use the shuttle.

Because at this time, few people in the folk still own the shuttle, and most of them were bought by those businessmen.

Even the few people who held the shuttle in their hands were unwilling to sell it because they respected the Duke, but as for the spinning ability of the shuttle, they did not trust it.

Reiner knew this, and it bothered him quite a lot. No one believed him, and even sold things like the shuttle as goods. No one knew such a good thing, and he was quite aggrieved.

You know, the Feishuo played a huge role on the eve of the industrial revolution in the previous life, which almost changed an era, or in other words, inherited the past and ushered in the next era.

And it was such an epoch-making tool that was abandoned like a shoe in the hands of these residents, which made Leiner very sad.

"It's expensive, okay?"

"What's the matter? You seem to have something on your mind?" On the big bed in the middle of the bedroom, Frante asked with concern looking at the tired-looking Reiner in a nightgown.

She completely recognized her identity, the identity of the grand duchess.
