Black Iron Crown

"Open a factory on my territory?" Earl Jollal couldn't help being taken aback when he heard what Reiner said, but he didn't understand what Reiner meant.

"Don't you want to be able to make money through woolen cloth? You can't make much money by simply buying goods from me. If the two of us can partner together to open a factory, wouldn't it be more profitable?"

Hearing what Reiner said, Earl Jollal was a little moved and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Look, there is already a factory in my territory, and I can earn a lot of money just by supplying goods every day!"

"If we open a factory in your territory, our production capacity can be further expanded, and we can make more money together!" Lena said confidently.

"I will supply the technology and raw materials, and you will be in charge of selling and organizing the manpower. We will split the money we get at that time. What do you think?" Reiner poured a glass of wine from the jug on the table and handed it to Earl Jollal, with his back Leaning on a chair, he sipped his drink and asked.

"A very good idea! If you are really willing to do this, it would be great!" Earl Jolar knew that it was Reiner who was taking care of himself.

After the two important things of technology and raw materials are released, he is willing to share with himself 50-50, which is already very kind.

After all, I am just organizing sales and manpower. Which lord will have less manpower?

Although the northern border is sparsely populated, it still has a population of 180,000. Although the population of Berensburg is denser, it is only more than 40,000, and there is still a big gap.

Looking at Reiner gratefully, Earl Jolar said: "Thank you, my generous brother, I will definitely support you!"

Although Earl Cholar is rough, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

Even if he couldn't fully understand the meaning behind Reiner's behavior, he could at least guess some of it.

There was a smile on Reiner's face, and he said: "No need to be like this, it's just an exploratory stage now, and we won't know if it will be effective until later!"

The efficiency of the two was very high. A factory was built in Berensburg within half a month. A large amount of woolen cloth began to be moved there, and the workers were half-baked at weaving.

"Wait a little longer, when the woolen cloth is completely popular, we will start to look at our next plan!" Reiner said to Earl Jollal.

The sales of woolen cloth were very good. The local merchants in the northern border brought a large amount of woolen cloth to sell everywhere. The furthest one even went as far as the south of Bassin Fortress, where the former rebels sold.

In these northern regions, even if the price is high, there is only one piece of wool cloth for one copper. In the south, the price has reached the level of the third sister's copper for one piece of cloth.

However, even so, these wealthy southerners are still willing to pursue these woolen cloths that are three times the price of linen.

There is no way, there are a lot of businessmen here, and even some squires who should rely on the land for a living are getting rich through commercial activities.

People who become rich are always dreamy, they don't care about spending money, they only care about their own enjoyment.

In order to be able to live more comfortably, they don't mind spending money on some good things, such as this soft and comfortable woolen cloth.

Although velvet is more delicate than wool cloth, the high price of velvet determines that not everyone can afford it.

Ever since, wool cloth, which is only a little more expensive than linen, has become the best substitute for velvet. The gap is not very big, and the price is not unacceptable.

As a result, wool cloth gradually spread in the south and was sought after by many people.

Even those lords will buy some woolen cloth to have a look, although they prefer velvet.

For a while, the merchants who sold in the south made a lot of money, and they quickly returned to the north with some special products from the south. After selling those things, they bought a lot of woolen cloth from all over the place.

Even some merchants even own small woolen cloth factories, but they can't meet their needs at all. To be precise, they can't meet the needs of those southerners.

For these merchants, no matter how much woolen cloth it is, 10,000 to 20,000 bolts, these only need to be transported to the south, and they will be sold out in just a few days.

Business tax is not just a transaction tax. As long as they are in the northern border, one-tenth of the property they earn every year must be handed over to Leiner, and in exchange, Leiner will provide them with asylum.

Now, they have earned at least four to five hundred gold coins, and they seem to have become the best among the local merchants in the northern border.

In addition, the merchants from the Kingdom of Bazalan also saw the fanaticism of these people, and bought some woolen cloth to bring back to the Kingdom of Bazaland for sale.

The demand for woolen cloth is far greater than the supply, so when Earl Cholar's factory was established, it also caused a frenzy of buying by merchants.

They don't care how much woolen cloth is produced, they just know that no matter how much woolen cloth there is, it won't be enough to sell.

At this time, Earl Cholar was already overjoyed. He was shocked by the profits generated by the woolen cloth factory on his territory. In just one month, the profits generated were almost comparable to the income of his territory for half a year. .

In addition, this newly exposed woolen cloth has also attracted the attention of many lords, but the crazy sales are far from enough to satisfy the gap, and a large amount of wealth has been collected in a short period of time, how can it not attract their attention.

"So you're saying that this woolen cloth was produced in Duke Rainer's territory?" The royal lords who were closer to Rainer's territory had some thoughts about this.

Not to mention those upstarts, they salivate over these woolen cloths.

It's not that they use the woolen cloth to enjoy themselves, but they want to gain access to these woolen cloths for their own benefit.

More and more businessmen flocked to the northern border, hoping to obtain enviable wealth from this land.

At this time, not only Leiner's own northern woolen cloth factory, but also the Berensburg woolen cloth factory co-founded by the two were booming, bringing them considerable profits.

The cooperation between Reiner and Earl Jollal was not by accident, he had his own considerations.

Rainer hopes to reach a community of interests with the royal lords through the woolen cloth. After all, no matter what kind of covenant it is, it is far less stable than the common interests.

Anyone is likely to betray themselves because of their own interests. Only by improving the interests generated by their own cooperation will they not be willing to rebel.

I believe that when Leiner and those royal lords have completely become a community of interests, no matter how big a benefit someone offers, they will not be able to shake their minds.

And this is why Reiner can easily propose to set up a factory in partnership with Earl Jollal. This is just the beginning.
