What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

Are you willing to work for Fran? I don't believe Fran can pay as much as I do."

"Well, Chief, don't forget that not all dark elves can get high rewards. And... Speaking of this, the dark elf began to hesitate.

"And what?"

"No...nothing." said the dark elf.

"Hmph! Those ungrateful people. If I hadn't set up so many brothels, they would have been out of food long ago." Naranisuoya said, "Forget it, if they want to go to Fran, then let them go. The fact that they can't make money here only proves that they don't have any looks or abilities."

"Yes, Chief." said the dark elf.

Looking at Naranissoy's leaving back, the dark elf's hands trembled, and he finally swallowed back what he was about to say.

Although dark elves are famous, they are not succubi after all.

If given a choice, who wouldn't want to find a decent job?

Moreover, dark elves seem to be born to be tailors. Their hands are fast and dexterous. Otherwise, they can't be archers and quick shooters (not firearms).

Chapter 93: Blue Cloth Storm

Fulan's textile industry plan progressed at a rapid pace.

In just half a month, the institute fully integrated spinning machines, looms, etc. with steam engines and completed the initial debugging.

After another half a month, both the spinning machines and looms were able to work normally, and the two machines began to enter the mass production stage. At this point, the basic production process had been opened up.

After more than a month of hard work, the first Orila Garment Factory was officially completed, with all kinds of machinery, workshops, and workers. Every day, a large amount of raw materials such as sisal and wool were sent to the spinning area, and then turned into bundles of yarn, which were then sent to the weaving area. Finally, the piles of cloth were sent to the cutting area.

Seam area.

After some time of recruitment and training, Fran now has 500 qualified tailors. They divide the making of a garment into several steps, with each female worker only responsible for one or two links, which greatly improves production efficiency.

In this way, a steady stream of finished clothes were shipped out of the garment factory. Some were sent to the city of Orila for local sale, and the other part was first sent to the city of Vienna for storage. Anyway, during the tulip storm, she obtained a large number of warehouses and had no worries about having no place to store them.

Fulan called the clothes made of blue sisal blue cloth clothes. Once the blue cloth clothes came out, they were immediately sought after by the lower-class workers because they were so cheap! A set of blue cloth clothes from head to toe only cost thirty Roll coins, which was a bargain compared to other clothes.

The most important thing is that this clothing is really wear-resistant. Even if it is thrown on a jagged stone and rubbed wildly, it will only have some scratches. If it were made of other cotton and linen cloth, it would have been torn to pieces long ago. And even if the blue cloth clothing is worn out, it doesn't hurt.

The largest population in Orila City was miners, so within a few days after the blue cloth clothes were put on the shelves, the store of the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce was already full of queues, and they were sold out in an extremely short time. For this reason, Fran had to sell the stock that was originally sent to Vienna.

In less than a month, blue cloth clothes have become the biggest hit in the entire Orila City. Blue can be seen in the streets and alleys, and everyone regards owning a blue cloth dress as a trend. This obviously exceeded Fran's expectations. She thought that only manual laborers would like such pants.

During this period of time, Fran had made a net profit of more than 50,000 magic crystal coins from the blue cloth clothes, which greatly boosted the confidence of everyone in the clothing factory.

Seeing the great success of Orila City, the sales plan for Vienna was also launched simultaneously.

It has to be said that good quality and cheap things are loved by all races. Once the blue cloth clothes were released, they quickly swept the whole of Vienna. Everyone couldn't believe their ears. Can clothes be sold so cheaply?

For a while, the topic of blue cloth clothes was widely circulated in the market (Flan's publicity offensive also contributed greatly). Many people wanted to get a blue cloth clothes even if they didn't need it. It didn't cost too much anyway. Thirty Roll coins were affordable for training monsters, and it was even cheaper for Vienna, where prices were relatively high.

In this way, a blue cloth storm soon blew up in Vienna.

Soon, the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce became famous thanks to the blue cloth clothing, and everyone knew that there was such a clothing store with high quality and low prices.

However, what surprised everyone the most was not the quality and price of the blue cloth clothes, but its production speed.

You have to know that even the largest spinning mill and weaving factory in Vienna combined cannot produce raw materials for three-digit clothing in a month! And most clothes are still produced in home workshops, where the efficiency is even lower.

However, the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce easily sold four-digit amounts of clothing.

How did they do this?

They are all very clear about the material characteristics of blue sisal. Although its raw materials are cheap, the production cycle is so long that the production cost is comparable to that of cotton and linen clothing, but in terms of comfort and cold resistance, blue cloth clothing is much worse than the former.

If one had to choose a material to make clothing on a large scale, no one with any sense would choose blue cloth.

But the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce chose it and actually made so many clothes.

For a time, all textile industry practitioners in Vienna were wondering how the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce did it.

However, this is only the first step for the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce, they immediately launched a variety of clothes made of cotton, linen and wool.

Not only are these clothes far superior in quality to those produced in ordinary family workshops, but their prices are only two-thirds of the market price.

There is no doubt that the Beijing West Chamber of Commerce has once again become the top trend in Vienna's public opinion.

The profit of cotton and linen clothes is much higher than that of blue cloth clothes.

After only one week of sales, Fran had already earned more than 100,000 magic crystal coins in Vienna.

Although this amount of profit may not be comparable to the Tulip Storm and the war tax, it is better in the long run. After all, it is impossible for Fran to launch a Tulip Storm every year, nor is it possible to collect war tax from the monsters of Orila every year. If she really did so, she would be no different from the Yellow Four Wolves.

The scattered sales among the public have already made Fulan a lot of money, and some large orders have made Fulan earn even more money.

Uniforms of the major chambers of commerce, new clothes for the clergy of the Holy Ra Church, uniforms of the army…

Before this, such large orders needed to be commissioned to several large chambers of commerce to produce together. Not only was the production time long and the price high, but the quality was also uneven. But under Fulan, all these problems were solved. Fulan completed all these orders in a very short time.

In addition to selling finished clothes, Jingxi merchants also sell a variety of uncut cloth.

Originally, Fulan wanted to take over the entire upstream and downstream business, but the efficiency of its spinning and weaving was too high. Even if the tailors worked overtime, they could not consume all the materials. After all, cutting clothes still requires manpower, and it cannot be replaced by machines in a short period of time. This has become the biggest shortcoming of the entire garment factory.

Since it is impossible to consume it all, just sell it. The profit of cloth is not much less than that of clothes.

At first, only a few small households came to buy, but later all the tailor factories in Vienna came to her to purchase goods. The Jingxi Chamber of Commerce soon emerged and became the largest cloth trading market in the entire city of Orila.

However, the business of the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce expanded too quickly, and soon it attracted all kinds of troubles.

The large amount of cheap, high-quality clothing and fabrics completely destroyed traditional family craftsmen and small chambers of commerce, and also led to the unemployment of a large number of craftsmen.

They all turned their attention to the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce, and some even smashed and looted its stores to vent their anger for losing their jobs.

Some well-informed people heard about the relationship between the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce and the city of Orila, and wanted to make a big fuss about it to undermine the arrogance of the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce.

So some chambers of commerce in the textile industry gathered many unemployed craftsmen and burned blue cloth clothes on the street, claiming that the clothes produced in Orila City were evil. They also asked the public to spontaneously burn the clothes they bought from Orila City!

However, this naturally did not pose a problem for Fran.

Whether it is a heresy or not, whether it is evil or not, the one who has the most say is naturally the Shinra Church.

As for the Shinra Church's position...

It’s just a matter of Fran saying a few words to Christina at her pillow.

In order to resolve this issue, Fran made a special trip to Vienna.

Of course, I can't go to see my sister empty-handed.

For this purpose, Fran brought a mysterious gift - a kind of clothing specially for women.

Although this type of clothing uses less fabric, it can reduce the burden on women and prevent sagging.

Fran assured that this was brought for Christina's health and there was absolutely no other intention!

Chapter 94: Fran's Gift

Late at night, the Golden Dome Cathedral.

"Sister? Have you changed your clothes?" Fran asked curiously.

"It has been changed. But it's too..." Christina stammered.

"What are you afraid of? This is in your bedroom, not in the preaching hall." Fran said.

"Wearing such clothes in the preaching hall! Don't talk nonsense! I already have a picture in my mind. It's so embarrassing!" Christina said quickly.

After hearing this, Fran got out of bed and opened the curtain of the dressing room.

"Ah! Why did you come in suddenly!" Seeing this, Christina hurriedly tried to cover her body with her hands.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before." Fran said, "Be good, sister, take your hands away."

“Although, but… Christina was at a loss as to what to do with her hands.

Looking at Christina's exquisite figure wrapped in a few thin pieces of cloth, Fran's eyes suddenly became... like a wolf in the dark night.

This mysterious dress is actually just the underwear that Fran remembered (although she always uses the smallest size and even thinks it doesn't matter if she uses a tube top).

When Fran told the female workers in the garment factory about her idea, they immediately made samples and said that they felt much more relaxed after wearing them. Soon, the invention spread and received unanimous praise from all the female workers.

"Lord City Lord, this invention is really great. Before, with so much fat on my shoulders, I would feel back pain after standing for a while. Now everything is fine. You really can't imagine how much pain we were in before."

"The Lord City Lord is so observant! Even though he has never experienced it, he can still perceive our pain in detail."

·...........

.............

I don’t know whether they were praising Fran or mocking her by saying these words.

However, it must be said that the invention of underwear actually further improved the efficiency of the tailor factory, which was something Fran had not expected.

Of course, it also has a side effect. After changing to this, the female workers complained that their male and female partners became weaker and had weak legs and back pain all day long.

Fran naturally thought of her good sister first when she saw such a useful piece of clothing. Christina had such a good figure, and she must have suffered from the pain of those two lumps of fat being too heavy. As a younger sister, she must help her sister solve her problems.

After Christina put it on, her already surging peaks became even more upright and more charming.

After a while, Christina finally got over the embarrassment. She stroked the fabric and said happily, "I really feel a lot more relaxed after putting it on. Thank you, sister! By the way, how did you come up with this invention? You don't have breasts... or was it another girl who inspired you?"

"I've explained this countless times..." Fran said dejectedly, "If you don't have breasts, you don't have human rights."

"Okay, okay, don't be discouraged. I've prepared some papaya and coconut juice for you. Drink more." Christina touched Fran's head, then touched the other two heads of Fran, and said jokingly, "And I heard that the more you massage, the bigger it will become! Let's start today's training!"

Before Fran could react, she was picked up by Christina.

But when she reached the bed, Fran attacked Christina's body fiercely, and took advantage of her distraction to turn defense into offense and started a new round of battle.

The two had not seen each other for a long time, so it was natural that a short separation was better than a new marriage. They fought until their temples were wet and their lips were dripping with desire. A red branch was filled with dew and fragrance, and the lovemaking in Wushan was in vain.

The battle is over.

Fran leaned on Christina's chest, and the moonlight shone through the gauze curtain, covering their beautiful bodies.

"Sister, you didn't come here just to give me this dress, did you?" Christina wiped the sweat off Fran's forehead and said, "You've been in a lot of trouble recently."

"Sister, are you referring to the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce?" Fran asked.

"Yes." Christina smiled and said, "Although I have to admire your skills. What method did you use to create so many clothes at once, and the price is so cheap."

"Technology is the primary productive force." Fran said, "I can't explain it clearly for the time being. If you are interested, I will take you to see a big treasure next time you come to Aurora City. Then you will understand everything."

"Forget it, you have too many tricks. If I were to get to the bottom of every one of them, I wouldn't even have the energy to be a saint." Christina said, "But I want to remind you, don't make a covenant with some weird gods just to take shortcuts. Although they can bring you great benefits in a short period of time,

A big improvement...but all gifts actually come with a price tag."

"Don't worry, sister. We did it with our own strength and didn't ask any gods for help." Fran said, "By the way, sister, what is the trouble you just mentioned?"

"The trouble is... ever since you tinkered with so many pieces of cloth and clothes, I've been receiving a lot of letters from nobles and chambers of commerce every day, asking me to thoroughly investigate the relationship between the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce and the city of Orila, and then drive this evil force out of Vienna," said Christina.

"Ah... I accept the Chamber of Commerce, after all, I've taken their jobs. Why would the nobles write to you?" Fran asked curiously.

"That's because most of the chambers of commerce have noble investments behind them." Christina said, "Don't worry, I've helped you sort it out this time. I told them that Orila City is part of the Vienna Alliance. They export goods to us as part of the alliance. In return, they can also sell goods to Europe.

Let’s go to Lila City.”

"So they just gave up so easily?"

"We will definitely not give up easily." Christina said, "I also told them that it's okay if the Shinra Church intervenes, but if that happens, we will investigate thoroughly to see who used the ore from Orila City and who had a boy or girl from the Forui tribe in their bedroom. If we find any, we will drag them to the stake. They will then

Just shut up."

"You are worthy of being my sister! Thank you, sister!" Fran rubbed Christina's chest happily.

"But I have to remind you," Christina said, "your products have indeed had a serious impact on Vienna, causing a large number of craftsmen to lose their jobs. If you leave it alone, the whole of Vienna will hate the city of Aurora, which is not a good thing in the long run."

"What my sister said makes sense." Fran groaned for a moment and said, "I really need to consider this issue."

After all, there are still only a few craftsmen related to the textile industry at present, and even if they are left alone, they will not cause much trouble. But Fran is very clear that as the scope of use of steam engines gradually expands, more other craftsmen will be unemployed in the future. When the number of these people accumulates to a certain extent, it may be too late for her to deal with them.

That's too late.

Moreover, Vienna is too close to the city of Orila. If everyone here becomes hostile, he may not be able to expand the market even if he wants to in the future. He will be locked in the barren underground city.

"In the final analysis, it's because the people are naturally wary of the city of Aurora." Christina said, "You have to find a way to break down this wall of grudge. The two sides have been staring at each other for so long, and Margaret's declaration and a few speeches alone are definitely not enough."

Fran lowered her head and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "I have an idea!"

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

"war!"
