Sheep Town.
“The other party wants to purchase a large amount of wool and hopes to sign a cooperation agreement?” Mayor Zai listened to the report from his men and asked in confusion, “What do they want with so much wool?”
“I don’t know, but it is made into wool products.” The subordinate replied.
“What about pricing?”
“The price the other party mentioned is the same as the base price of the wool we sell in bulk, but they will come and pull it themselves instead of us sending it. This way, the cost price is reduced a lot.”
Zai hummed, “It seems that the other party has already investigated in advance before saying such a thing.”
“Then shall we cooperate with them?”
“Of course we have to cooperate. It just so happens that the noble lords in the south don’t know what happened recently and have reduced their purchases of wool, so we will sell this batch of wool to them.”
“Sir, why do I feel like something is wrong?” His subordinate asked cautiously, “I heard that many people disappeared some time ago. It seems to be the work of dark cultists.”
Zai glared at him, “Don’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing, especially don’t mention it to other people, otherwise, a group of free people will leave because they are afraid. Dark cultists have indeed appeared, but people from the church are also hunting them down.” Not only the Holy Light Church, but also the Church of the God of War and the Church of the God of Nature have sent clergy.”
“But, our kingdom doesn’t allow church members to enter freely. I heard that churches are being built in Aulis City.”
Zai looked at him, “You know a lot, right?”
The subordinates quickly said: “I followed the caravan to the city of Aulis and found that the atmosphere there was very strange. There were not many people on the streets, and even some shops were closed. I asked people and they said that there were people in the city. Many refugees have disappeared, and many civilians have also disappeared and cannot be found at all.
It is said that the dark cultists are hiding in Oris City and planning something. Although our place is far away from Oris City, what if we are also implicated? ”
“Don’t mind your own business. This kind of thing is for the lord to consider. Let’s just do our own thing.”
After his men left, Zai had a solemn expression on his face. Although he was just an ordinary town mayor, caravans often came from Sheep Town and brought news from other places. Naturally, he also knew about Oris City. Things that happened.
Just two days ago, a relative in Olis City came to him with his family, saying that he would stay for a while before going back.
At that time, he felt that the other party was a little too scared. It was the count’s city, how could it be possible for the dark cultists to wreak havoc. Now it seems that it is really hard to say.
The Rhine is a wide river with fast currents.
There are multiple huge waterwheels built on the river bank. They are constantly rotating under the power of water, making a dull sound that interacts with the crisp sound of falling water.
Linn had previously planned this area as a key area. After long-term hard work by workers, all the trees from Ash Town to here were cut down, the land was leveled, and cement roads began to be built.
Thanks to the effect of cement, the fixed location of the waterwheel was reinforced and the water channels were laid with cement to avoid soil loss caused by long-term water erosion.
There are multiple small waterwheels under the huge waterwheel. The large waterwheel drives the small waterwheel, and the small waterwheel drives the new textile machine to operate.
Linn made Nezer the head of the textile factory, teaching the serfs to learn textiles and carry out mass production.
Karis also reached a cooperative relationship with Sheep Town, purchasing a large amount of wool and transporting it here. After a series of processes, the wool was made into finished products, which were then transported by caravans to other towns for sale.
At present, the town has developed a complete wool product process and has earned a lot of gold coins.
The soap was very popular, especially the soaps with various fragrances that were later sold. It is said that some people bought it and used it as aromatherapy.
The mining area is constantly being mined, rail cars speed up transportation, and large amounts of ore are transported to warehouses and then used in various aspects.
Since Master Roland came, the forging in the territory has been rapidly improved. He upgraded the blast furnace and added four furnace mouths, divided into the furnace entrance, the furnace exit, the finished product entrance, and the waste slag entrance. Wait, and engraved flame runes on it, which doubled the temperature.
The melting and forging of ore have accelerated, and Lin En also discussed with him, hoping that he could simply teach some basic workers, so that they can do the simple chores.
Master Roland agreed very readily and had no intention of objecting at all. He said that if his skills were not passed down, he would probably not have the chance to pass them on in the future.
In addition to Willie and Gino, Kiel and five others studied with him.
On the Rhine River beach, workers are constantly digging sand and then transporting the sand to the factory area.
After learning that there was a lot of sand in the Rhine River, Linn began to make glass.
The update of the blast furnace made it easier to fire glass. After initially firing a large amount of strange-shaped glass, glass products gradually stabilized.
For a time, glass became popular in Ashtown.
In the castle, there are a large number of glass containers containing different seasonings on the table.
Lin En held the glass filled with milk and shook it gently. It felt a bit like red wine.
“master!”
Karis came in from outside with several bottles in his hands.
“This is a perfume that has been filled. It has good sealing properties, so you don’t have to worry about dispersion at all.”
Lynn looked at the perfume. There was nothing on the glass surface, but it was full of perfume inside, showing a light pink color.
He opened the bottle cap and dropped the perfume on his hand, and the fragrance immediately came out.
“You tell the craftsman to write the word ash on the surface of the glass. Since we are a town of ash, we need to have a sign. I need to use high-end products such as perfume to open up the trading channels of the nobles and obtain high-end materials. In addition, Don’t overfill, just half of each bottle is enough.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to the craftsman soon.” Karis sighed, “Master, you are so amazing. You can even make this kind of precious glass. I’m wondering if we should sell it?”
“Of course it has to be sold. Glass can be made continuously. This thing is expensive and is loved by nobles. However, the quantity is rare. Many wealthy businessmen don’t have much in their homes. You can decide the price yourself, Bob. These knights have been integrated into Ashes Town, and they can also serve as guardian knights escorting the caravan.”
