Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 370

[Chapter 368 World Resources Division, side quest refresh]

The advantage of light industry is that it is less dangerous.

The most important thing in the textile industry is the textile factory. Compared with the metallurgical factory, the textile factory is obviously safe.

When Allen was talking to Oliver about the textile industry, Oliver was actually thinking about where he needed to recruit people and where he needed to choose to open a factory if the textile industry could succeed.

“The textile industry is easier than the metallurgical industry but has some problems.”

Allen first told Oliver about the situation, advantages and benefits of the textile industry.

But this does not mean that with textile mills, enough products can be obtained after manpower.

“We don’t have a source of raw materials, whether it’s linen or other fabrics, we only have wool.”

Ellen spoke calmly.

“Yes, Grand Duke, the Duchy of Ellen~ there is no hemp plant.”

Oliver nodded. He was once the Chancellor of the Exchequer and knew the situation in the Principality very well.

The land of the Duchy of Allen is not suitable for hemp plants, and the Duchy of Shake, the predecessor of the Duchy of Allen, has not cultivated such plants. For them, if they want to start the textile industry, the problem of raw materials needs to be solved.

What’s more, Allen doesn’t just want sackcloth, he wants to make real silk.

Linen is for the civilian market, after all, the financial resources of the civilians can only wear such clothes.

Silk was for the aristocratic market.

As a traveler, Allen is also a nobleman. He deeply feels that the clothing materials of the nobles in this world are not as good as silk.

But silk needs to breed some silkworms.

Hemp plants are okay to say, but silkworms, Allen has never heard of in this world.

“It’s okay to say hemp plants, as long as you use your brain and think of a way, it’s not difficult to solve.”

Allen said with a chuckle.

“But… it’s not that simple to make taller fabrics.”

Allen frowned slightly.

Oliver immediately knew that Allen was referring to the fabrics provided to the nobles.

He thought for a while and then immediately said: “Grand Duke, there are only two or three kinds of cloth for nobles’ clothes now, cloud cloth, crystal cloth, and butterfly cloth.”

“These are fabrics derived from other plants that are far superior to linen in texture and appearance.”

“However, the spruce wood, crystal tree and butterfly vine that can produce these fabric raw materials are very expensive plants. After all, they are for the nobles. These plants are expensive and require some special environments to survive.”

Oliver frowned and said, “Our Duchy of Allen can’t even cultivate hemp plants. If we want to cultivate other plants, I’m afraid…”

He didn’t finish speaking but Alan already understood what he meant.

Although Allen’s plan was good, Oliver would never doubt that the mill that Allen said was fake.

After all, after seeing the metallurgical plant and the iron car, Oliver was completely convinced by Allen, and he believed in Allen’s talent and ability.

He also believes that the textile mill can succeed, but the problem is the raw material.

If the Principality of Allen can’t produce the raw materials, it can only be imported. It can be purchased from the Roland Chamber of Commerce, or its own sapphire chamber of commerce can go to other places to buy it.

Either way, it’s definitely a lot of money.

The original profit will be reduced by more than half.

Neither Oliver nor Allen could accept this situation.

“So, this problem is still very annoying.”

Allen sighed: “The more precious things are, the more they can be obtained from the center of the continent. This world is really strange, whether it is land, resources, plants or animals.”

“The closer you are to the center, the richer the land, the more pet resources, and the more types of plants. What we can’t grow here can be easily cultivated in the center of the continent.”

Allen said here, a trace of doubt and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

This world is so weird, as if the gods gave all the best things to the four most central empires on the continent.

In the eyes of the countries in the peripheral regions, the countries in the central regions are like beggars.

Allen also knows that the resources of his own country fall into the eyes of the empire, and may not be as sufficient as the resources of a marquis.

The hierarchy of this world is too strict, and countries without strength can only stand on the edge of the continent.

The worst are those maritime principalities, whose resources are already barren and barren.

This is the pattern and situation of the world.

“This is also something that can’t be helped. The Grand Duke, all the monarchs, and kings all hope to gain access to the land in the heartland, but all this requires absolute strength.”

…for flowers.

Oliver sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

What kind of strength is there in a border country like the Principality of Allen?

“Forget it, let’s not talk about the geographical location, Oliver, I will solve the problem of plants as soon as possible, you go down to find some places and set up a textile industry base.”

“Well… just select the places in the capital. The fabrics from the production base of the textile industry can be sent directly to the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce, and the textile factory is not as troublesome as the metallurgical factory. Although it also needs to be driven by a waterwheel, there are also rivers around the capital. , There are also some river channels in the capital, you can choose a place near the river, or choose a plain outside the capital.”

Allen put forward some requirements. For Allen, the problem of plants has never been a problem. After all, she has Lucy in her hands. She can cultivate hemp plants that can grow here, or spruce trees, crystal trees, butterflies. rattan.

Not to mention Lucy, even Allen can solve this problem with a little effort, after all, he has part of the power of the Holy Fairy.

Allen cares about the problem of silkworms. It would be nice if there were silkworms. “Ding, congratulations to the host, starting the side quest: textile industry!”

“Textile industry: As a monarch, you have keenly tapped an industry with huge potential, which can bring huge wealth and reputation. Please build no less than ten textile factories and make them the core of the textile industry.”

“Task reward: experience value * 300000, unlock the species magic silkworm.”

“Magic silkworm: A silkworm baby with magical power can produce a large amount of silk, and the silk has a good magical effect, and the silk produced is extremely silky and soft, with a certain magical effect.” Allen has not responded yet, The system in my mind has already started to refresh the task.

Allen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, it seems that his problem has been solved.

Of course Oliver didn’t know what Allen was laughing at, but Oliver knew that since Archduke Allen had the power to solve the problem of raw materials, Oliver believed that the textile industry in the Duchy of Allen would surely shock the world soon.

Several.
