Black Iron Crown

The wool cloth factory was established quickly, and three hundred qualified female workers entered the factory the next day to wait for training.

The two maids who have mastered the weaving method in the contract of Reiner will stay here temporarily to teach the female workers how to use the shuttle.

The use of the shuttle is not difficult, so in just three days, the female workers have mastered the method of weaving woolen cloth, but they can't be called proficient.

Carloads of lime-washed wool were brought into the mill, where the women began weaving.

As time went by, their craftsmanship became more and more proficient, and the speed of weaving became faster and faster, gradually reaching three times the speed in the true sense.

Reiner looked at the document about the output of the textile factory in his hand and nodded in satisfaction, and said to Earl Cod: "After five days, people will immediately sell the woolen cloth on the face, and sell it at one third of the price of the linen cloth." go out!"

There was a smile on Rainer's face, and he could already imagine how much profit these woolen cloths could generate.

Just the amount of weaving in these ten days can meet the needs of three to four thousand residents around Mecaron City, and the price is even cheaper than 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 together again.

"It's bad news. The Duke of Leiner has established a factory that uses shuttles to weave. I don't know their specific production capacity, but it can be inferred from his behavior that he is very confident in this factory!"

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

"Well, you are right. I believe that as long as we survive this difficult time, the cloth market in the northern border will still be 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 northern border were surprised to find that the price of cloth on the market had miraculously been reduced by a quarter, which was already much cheaper than usual.

So, in order not to waste this golden opportunity, they started buying linen.

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

Because they not only lowered the sales price of sisal and flax, but also increased the price of finished fabrics purchased from the lower-level residents, and they also sold them at reduced prices to citizens and gentry everywhere.

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

They are completely biting the bullet now. If they hadn't monopolized the cloth market in the northern border and still had a lot of reserves in the past, they would have been unable to sustain it for a long time.

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

Roselle looked very haggard during this time, and her beard, which was normally rested like a nobleman, also looked messy.

This series of operations alone cost him more than a few gold coins. One can imagine how much their entire chamber of commerce branch lost.

Logan was also closely observing this matter, and he reported every move of this group of people to Reiner.

Let Reiner have nothing to do after seeing what they did, because he didn't feel the need to take action himself.

This kind of flush chicken is really nothing. When the woolen cloth is officially sold, the outrageously low price and high production efficiency will make them understand that everything they do is in vain.

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

Although that would reduce part of his tax income, Reiner didn't feel it was a pity, because there would be more income from woolen cloth to fill his coffers.

What's more, it is entirely their own fault that things have come to this point.

If they hadn't taken such an extreme approach when facing the flying shuttle, even if they just ignored the flying shuttle, when the day they taught how to use it, they could quickly transform with the accumulated wealth.

If the shuttle is fully used for weaving, they may only suffer the loss of unsalable raw materials and cloth, and wool cloth will bring them greater wealth.

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

Otherwise, why did Leiner set up his own factory? Even if the flying shuttle is popularized throughout the entire northern border, 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 mill.

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

January twenty-second, twenty-six years of the empire.

early morning.

This is the date that Rainer has set for a mass sale of woolen cloth.

Instead of using Leiner's own strength, he hired a transport team in the city. The woolen cloth in the factory was fully filled with eight large carriages, calculated on the basis of a unit of two meters long and one meter wide. Three thousand bolts of cloth were woven in ten days.

The carriage made a teeth-piercing creaking sound, and staggered to the largest market in Mecaron City.

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

The arrival of such a huge team directly attracted everyone's attention, and the golden lion emblem on the red background on the carriage showed their identities even more, which made the pedestrians voluntarily make way for them.

"It's His Excellency's convoy, even if it's not His Excellency's, it should at least be Earl Corder's convoy!"

"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 in low voices.

Just as the eyes of many people were attracted here, the officials in charge of managing the factory began to shout.

"Woolcloth! High-quality woolcloth produced in the Duke's property, the woolen cloth factory in the north! Only one copper is needed for every three bolts!"

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

After hearing about the woolen cloth factory produced under the command of the Duke, these Rens were all attracted.

The recruitment of workers in the wool cloth factory and the coveted high salary made people in the whole city talk about it.

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

And when they heard that every three pieces of cloth cost only one copper, they immediately became overwhelmed.

What a price! Not even the worst linen, with obvious defects, could reach such a price.

But now the wool cloth in front of him is actually priced at three pieces for a copper, which inevitably makes many people suspicious.
