Black Iron Crown

Reiner was still very enthusiastic about these people from the old man's side. After personally meeting and comforting them, he even arranged a room for them to rest.

Moreover, during this period of time, the local business development of Reiner was also very good.

After discovering the huge business opportunities contained in woolen cloth, some local businessmen directly approached Rainer hoping to get more woolen cloth.

Out of the idea of ​​supporting his own local business, Reiner lowered the price slightly on the basis of three bolts of woolen cloth and one copper.

That's it, their profits are much bigger than others, and during this period of time, they also saw how profitable Leiner's wool cloth factory was, and some people even directly hired some of the residents, using Leiner's original The shuttles that were handed out followed suit and started woolen cloth textile factories.

Although the output is not yet comparable to that of the northern woolen cloth factory, it can still generate great profits.

In addition, after some people established woolen cloth factories, they directly organized a caravan and sold the woolen cloth produced in their own factories to other regions.

In just a few months, more than fifty woolen cloth factories have sprung up in the northern region like mushrooms after rain.

Most of these factories belonged to local businessmen. After they established the factories, they not only brought the fabrics to other places to sell, but also sold them to businessmen from other places, which made a huge profit for a while.

And Leiner also made a lot of profits from it. In addition to the commercial tax they paid, Leiner also made a lot of money selling wool.

Because he is the largest sheep owner in the north, or the largest sheep owner in the entire empire.

Except for those tribal leaders on the grassland, no one can surpass him in the number of sheep.

Now he has more than 60,000 sheep in his hands, and the amount of wool sheared every year is an astronomical figure.

Although Reiner also distributed a lot of sheep to soldiers and knights with military exploits, most of them were not of a large scale and could not be compared with Reiner.

And most importantly, the cleaning and degreasing technology of wool is only in the hands of Leiner Leiner.

There are too many impurities, sand, and grease on the purely sheared wool. The only function is to roll felt and make felt hats or sheep felt blankets.

Only treated clean wool can be used as raw material for woolen cloth.

At the beginning, "The King's Wardrobe" just monopolized the raw materials of sisal and flax in the northern border to allow them to grow and develop. Now that Reiner has completely mastered the wool from the source, he will earn more than anyone else.

Now his wool inventory is an astronomical figure, according to the current spinning speed, it can be used for at least five years, not to mention that the wool still needs to be trimmed every year.

The establishment of these 30 factories made Reiner very happy. In any case, the establishment of local factories is better than businessmen from other places.

They set up factories in the north, which means that workers are also needed, and workers need wages.

Workers who have a salary also have spending power. After the spending power is strong, the market will be driven by it. After the market is established, do you still worry about the lack of local business development?

This is a virtuous circle, a virtuous circle that Reiner has been looking forward to.

Although many service industries have been established in the north to attract businessmen before and a certain scale of the market has been formed, but it is definitely not comparable to these factories after they are established.

With these main forces of consumption, others, such as the service industry, vending industry, and some street vendors will be stimulated, making the northern border more prosperous.

So far, Leiner's business tax has surged again, and local businessmen in the northern region have completely suppressed foreign businessmen.

And led by the northern merchants who had a large amount of woolen cloth goods in the north, they took the woolen cloth to the south to conquer the city, and more and more areas had a fanatical pursuit of woolen cloth.

And because of the previous agreement between the royal lords, all merchants in the territories of the agreement members will never charge tolls when entering each other's territories, and will not pay any taxes except commercial taxes, which also increases the strength of the merchants in the north Thousands of miles a day.

In just two months, two rich men with one hundred gold coins appeared.

This is generally the ten-year income of a baron. Back when Reiner had only one Fort Murlander, he needed almost ten years of accumulation to have such wealth.

At this moment, Earl Jolar braved such a cold winter and came to Mecaron City again.

"Haha, my brother, it's been a long time!" Earl Jollal still didn't change his rough look, the beard on his chin became thicker, and he didn't know if it was because of the need to keep warm in winter.

Accepting a big bear hug from Earl Jolar, the two talked all the way into Reiner's study.

"How are you doing recently? It looks like you have put on a lot of weight!" Reiner casually sat on a chair and said with a smile, pointing at Earl Jollal.

"Ah, of course!" Earl Jollal laughed and patted his belly that was getting bigger and bigger and had accumulated a lot of fat.

"Recently, your northern border has been a sweet pastry, attracting many merchants to your territory, and as a necessary place to reach the northern border, my income is also quite a lot, and it's all thanks to you Good luck!" Earl Jollal laughed.

"Oh? Then what's the purpose of you coming here?" Reiner said with a slight smile, "Don't tell me about brotherly love. If there is nothing else, you wouldn't go out in such cold weather! "

As soon as Reiner opened his mouth, he blocked Earl Jollal's next words.

So, Earl Jollal could only smile awkwardly, and then said: "I came here for the woolen cloth. Your woolen cloth bought in my territory is very popular, and everyone is crazy about it!"

"I know how much woolen cloth sells for you, do you know how much they sell for it?" Earl Jollal stretched out a finger and said, "That's the amount! One copper can only buy one piece of cloth!"

Earl Jollal rubbed his head in embarrassment, and said, "I have also investigated, and those people are not businessmen in your territory."

"I was thinking, the tone made those people make money away, so why not make your dear brother rich?"

Earl Jolar was afraid that Rainer would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't have any other requirements, as much as it should be, I hope to buy some woolen cloth from you and sell them back, you know I'm not a person who pushes for size ..."

Reiner waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, how can I disagree with such a small request?"

As he said that, a plan suddenly appeared in Reiner's mind, a plan that could make all the lords not let you support him more.

After deliberating in his heart, Reiner said to Earl Jollal, "What if I opened a factory in your territory?"
