Chapter 1238 160. Rental spinning machine

What could be better than sending a large amount of food?

That is to send large quantities of cooked bread and food.

Fortunately, the mages were either taken care of by apprentices or brought with them servants or puppets, but the soldiers drawn from various places and the mercenaries who came to help did not enjoy this kind of treatment, which made Annan gain a lot of favor.

In addition to food, there are also armors and cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. Soldiers like a kind of velvet plate armor the most - it is made of tempered iron plate armor on the outside and a layer of cotton-padded clothes on the inside. After wearing it, you will no longer get cold at night. It's itchy, and it's much more flexible when moving. There's thickened cotton on the collar and cuffs.

The only drawback is that the cotton-padded clothes inside become damp if you sweat a little bit...but that's definitely not the chimeric plate armor's fault!

Fischer came up with the idea of ​​adding velvet plate armor - Annan still remembers her, and the spinning machine that gave birth to the "Machine Soul" was discovered by her men

Fischer thought that since he wanted to make armor and cotton-padded clothes, why not just mix the two together?

The blacksmith shop sent several pairs of armors over. Soon, Fischer sent the finished chimeric plate armor to the camp. The soldiers immediately discovered that the velvet plate armor was both beautiful and warm, although it could only be used in cold areas and was easy to use. There are disadvantages such as sweating, but it is better than being frozen by the armor.

With this invention, Fischer rose from team leader to head of the spinning mill.

Fischer, who became the person in charge, had a new idea: There are many women like April, but not everyone is lucky enough to be a female spinning mill worker like April...

So why not let residents also rent spinning machines?

This will not only produce a large amount of raw materials for cotton-padded clothes, but also give women at home something to do.

Liberty City is a huge and efficient machine. When her suggestion was sent to Deputy City Lord Itilia's desk in the morning through the officials of the City Lord's Palace, it took less than a day for the officials to post a notice after signing and approval.

The next day, the women in the city came to the square. Because they were too noisy, the officials had to shout out the rules for renting spinning machines:

First of all, there must be a room where the machine can be placed without disturbing the neighbors. Secondly, the lease period is three years, and there is no rent required. You only need to pay 130 copper coins per day. After three years of renting, the spinning machine becomes your own. However, if you stop paying the rent before three years, the spinning machine will be taken back without refund.

Finally, the spun cotton yarn will be purchased by Liberty City at an average price, so there is no need to worry about price suppression by profiteers.

As a result, more than 300 spinning machines were ordered on the first day, and the square was clogged with women who came to inquire.

She didn't expect it to be so popular, so Idilia had no choice but to ask the factory to recruit workers, which created a positive cycle.

Fischer became so famous that even reporters from the "Voice of Liberty" came to interview her.

"I'm just an ordinary person. I'm neither good-looking nor talented. I have nothing to interview..." Fischer declined the reporter.

Then later that day, Evelyn came to see Fischer herself.

She heard about Fischer's rejection from her men, and instead became somewhat interested in her.

"Miss Evelin, I'm just an ordinary person..." Fischer still declined.

Fischer is a bit introverted, but it doesn't matter. Evelyn is best at making introverts talk: "I am also an ordinary person."

"You must be kidding me..."

Fischer's curiosity was indeed piqued.

"Why did I lie to you? Before I met Annan, I was just a waiter at the Dawn Tavern. I wiped the tables all day long and had to deal with drunken drunkards. Some of them wanted to take advantage of me. He My daughters are all older than me!”

Evelin's cheerful appearance is no longer as shy as before, and the freckles on both sides of her cheeks have faded a lot as she grows up, but she still looks like a girl.

"What happened next?"

Evelin put her hands behind her head: "Later, a guy like me who worked in a tavern suddenly turned into a warlock and became the King of the North. He also made magical videos. He couldn't find the right person to play Ruth, so he just Called me from town ”

"Lord Annan?" Fischer called softly.

"That's him." Evelin spread her hands, "Then what you see now." This was the first time Fischer heard about Annan's past: "But I don't know what to say..."
< br>

“Anything is fine, just tell me how you came up with this idea.” Seeing Fischer getting nervous again, Evelin comforted her and said, “Don’t worry about saying the wrong thing, I will help you beautify it, and the North is so lively recently. , maybe your news was piled up there and dropped.”

"I just want to teach what I teach in school... The territory is different from the people. The former needs long-term profits, while the latter only cares about the present. I wonder if I can think of a win-win solution so that both the lord and the people can benefit. …”

"Leasing a spinning machine is what you think of?"

Evelin quietly picked up the magic stone and activated it.

Fischer didn't pay attention and continued: "Well, there are many women in the city who can spin, but they can't afford it, so why don't we extend the time? Liberty City can benefit for a long time, and so can they Manufacturing value.”

"Well, what a great idea..."

If it were oneself...it would be easier to weave Annan's scandal.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Fischer, you can look forward to the newspaper in a while." Evelin put the magic stone into her bag and waved goodbye to Fischer.

Watching Evelin's back go away, Fischer lost his restraint and whispered to himself: "It is indeed a human being...but why does it smell like a succubus?"

The intention of leasing spinning machines was good, to give women something to do, and to bring in trade and tax revenue...but someone executed it badly.

The cause was that a large new order for spinning machines, which had been growing steadily, suddenly appeared. Ingrid was keenly aware of the anomaly in the order, and sent her men to trace the source and found that these orders belonged to the same person.

After investigation, the identity of the man was sent to Ingrid, and Ingrid asked her men to show it to Francois - because that man was his man.

"Is it him?"

Looking at the name presented to him, Francois sighed.

"What impression do you have?"

"Your Lord Annan fished him out of the dungeon a while ago. What happened to him?"

"Lord Ingrid suspects that he is secretly manipulating the order for the spinning machine."

"Got it."

Francois called his men and asked them to bring Peterson over and capture him if he resisted.

Soon, Peterson walked in.

Freed from the drudgery of being a spy and a dungeon inmate, Peterson visibly gained weight and the money around his waist bulged.

But when Francois said, "This is an official of the Ministry of Finance," he shrank into a ball like a deflated ball.

"It seems it is indeed you."
