Black Iron Crown

Recently, Earl Jolar is in a very good mood.

He had planted cash crops such as sisal and flax in his own territory before, and he made a fortune while the supply of raw materials for the southern rebellion was cut off.

Moreover, affected by the business in the north, the business tax in his territory Berensburg has also increased a lot.

Although the toll has been canceled in the previous contract with Reiner, he was surprised to find that his income did not decrease, but increased to a certain extent.

But recently, he learned from some of his spies that some merchants suddenly appeared in his territory, and they sold a kind of cloth called wool cloth on a large scale.

The price is lower than ordinary linen, but the quality and cold resistance are much stronger.

"In other words, this kind of fabric became popular in just three days, right?" Earl Choral asked.

"Yes, Lord Earl, we also secretly captured a small merchant who sold this kind of fabric. After some interrogation, we learned that this kind of fabric was produced in the northern border, and it is the property of the Duke of the northern border, Rainer!"

"Is it Leiner's property?" Earl Jollal nodded, feeling a little moved in his heart. He felt that if he could buy a large amount of goods from Leiner, would it be the turn of these merchants to sell them around?

At this time, Reiner was quite entangled in his heart.

So much so that the rest of the recent period of time has not been very good.

After seeing the profits generated by the wool cloth factory, he decided whether to teach his residents how to use the shuttle as he had thought before.

Because once it is taught to the residents, the production method of woolen cloth will inevitably be leaked, even if the strictest secrecy measures are adopted, it will be useless.

But if you don't give the method of use to the residents, then you will violate your original intention. His original intention is to increase residents' income and expand the northern market to attract more merchants to do business.

In this way, the local service industry and handicraft industry will be developed, and then the residents will be fed back through the handicraft industry and service industry, creating a larger market.

If you just increase your income sharply, you may make your army bigger or your finances more abundant, but the effect of stimulating the market is definitely not as good as the method of spreading woolen cloth.

Looking at the distraught Lena,

Frant asked again with concern: "What happened to confuse you?"

Because Frante gave a very good solution to the previous shuttle incident, Reiner doesn't mind telling Frante what's on his mind now, so he confides everything in his heart.

"Hmm..." Frant pondered for a while, and then said: "I'm sorry, although I come from the south where business is more developed, I don't know much about business..."

"Perhaps, you should ask Aizexi, your Minister of Finance and Commerce, I believe that he must not be an incompetent person to be your Minister of Finance!" Frante said after some consideration.

"Is it Azexi?" Hearing Farant's words, that wretched figure who was corrupt, took bribes, ate, drank, prostituted and gambled appeared in Reiner's mind.

"That kind of person is okay?" Just as he was thinking this way in his heart, he suddenly realized the reason why he appointed him as Minister of Commerce and Finance in the first place.

At that time, I tested him from a business perspective, but the other party talked endlessly, and even I, who came from the era of information explosion, were full of praise for some theories.

It's just that I became a hands-off shopkeeper later, and I left all the business affairs to him and didn't check it carefully. In addition, there were too many minor problems in his daily life, so I almost ignored his talent.

Thinking of this, Reiner nodded: "What you said makes sense, I will ask him tomorrow!"

Looking at Farrant's already swollen belly, Reiner's mood was very complicated. Looking at the ceiling with simple patterns above his head, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, and a feeling of melancholy emerged spontaneously.

This year is the twenty-sixth year of the empire, four years have passed since he first came to this world, and this body has also grown from sixteen years old at that time to twenty years old now.

At the age of twenty, I am about to have my first heir, which means that I have completely taken root in this world. As a man, it is a very wonderful feeling to have the continuation of genes.

That night, Lena couldn't sleep.

People are always cranky at night.

What's more, the things I think about are all limitless things. Many things that I don't even think about during the day suddenly flood into my mind at night.

Reiner doesn't know whether he is real at night or during the day, but he has a lot of thoughts at night, and he will forget them all during the day.

Looking at Farrant lying beside him breathing evenly and falling into a deep sleep, Reiner reached out and hugged her.

He himself is not sure what kind of feelings he has for Farrant. He can't feel it if it's love.

But when it comes to hatred, several months have passed, and it is difficult for him to bring up the bad attitude towards Farrant at the beginning.

Looking at her stomach, Reiner didn't know whether he loved the house or was used to such a life.

Is what happened in the previous life a dream, or what is happening now is just a dream.

If it is a dream, he can clearly remember what happened in his previous life, and the things in this life are also clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

Frant's even breathing hit his face lightly, and a girl's breath poured into his nostrils and transmitted to his brain.

She was just an eighteen-year-old girl, and Reiner suddenly felt that she was prematurely aging.

How could he be living the life of a middle-aged man when he was only twenty years old? Although I hadn't lived to this age in my previous life, twenty years old should be the age of youth, right?

Thinking of all these things in his heart, Reiner finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his previous life, but when he was playing games in the Internet cafe, he found that the people next to him were the Earl of Jollal and the Earl of Pushton, and the one standing behind him was actually Fran special.

Wind and Lumbare both pestered themselves to get them a machine too.

The next morning, Reiner woke up from this weird dream, shook his head and ignored it, and went into the study after washing up.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Your Excellency the Duke?" Aizexi looked at Lena cautiously and said.

Since he was caught by Leiner for taking bribes several times before, he is now very afraid of his lord, for fear that the other party will catch him again.

He didn't want to be whipped, not ever.

"Relax!" Reiner said soothingly, waving his hands.

"I called you here to ask you something, don't be nervous!"
