The days of learning black magic in another world

The first time Reina saw Heller's improved loom, she didn't feel it.

It was a few days after she succeeded to the throne. She went to Velen's mansion in private and saw the machine that was ten people long and ten wide by Heller Velen in the backyard.

Heller Velen excitedly introduced the benefits of this new machine to her: "First, I changed the discharge of the spindles, and now one machine can spin eight yarns at the same time, and second, look at this, see? It's just like this Once released, the rest of the process can be completed by this baby itself, no one needs to follow up, and an eight-year-old child can complete this work..."

Reina actually didn't know what the original spinning machine looked like, but she smiled: "Then let's start."

It's not difficult to promote this machine, but it's not easy either.

Lena ascended the throne suddenly, and she didn't have much power in her hands. The best choice is to do nothing.But maybe other people think that the new queen doesn't mean to be involved in other more important fields, but just wants to promote the spinning machine, so that those old foxes think that it is not impossible to follow her. This process is more than Lena imagined. Much easier in .

Things got troublesome when the spinning machines kept being sold.

Later, Lena learned that in Ulang, oh no, on the entire continent, the production of yarn is much lower than the production of cloth, and the demand for cloth to yarn is much lower.

This meant that the price of yarn was on the high side. Of course, she didn't think so at the time. The price of yarn had always been like this. How could she judge whether it was on the high side or on the low side?

Once Heller's improved spinning machine was put into use, the output of yarn increased, and the price of yarn dropped almost rapidly.

This is just the beginning.

At the beginning, Lena was quite happy. After the production of yarn caught up, the production of cloth in Ulang began to increase, so she and the ministers made new regulations to prohibit any spinning machines from flowing out of Ulang.

Although this regulation is actually a bit futile, because it is too late to recover the spinning machines that were originally sold to Sydney and other countries. Even if they are recovered, they can copy them by themselves.

However, after the price of yarn dropped, the peasant households who had a stable income from spinning lost this supposedly stable income.

Then came the first riot to smash the new spinning machine.

Then came the second one.

The third time.

……

At the end of last year, Queen Sidney sent guards to confiscate all privately owned new spinning machines in Sidney and strictly prohibited the import of cloth from Urang—a decisive self-protection measure.

If Reina could choose, she would immediately confiscate all the new spinning machines in Uran, and would not allow anyone to re-manufacture them.

The increase in cloth production certainly made her happy, but if the price was that the people at the bottom had to be replaced by machines without flesh and blood, she would definitely not want to see such a result.

But she is not someone who can make decisions. She has been the queen for five years and has gradually gathered power. She is no longer the puppet queen who can't speak anywhere. A human puppet.

But it doesn't matter... Velen can understand, after seeing those suffering farmers, he must also understand why he must stop him.

Velen's hand holding the parchment gradually tightened: "But...it shouldn't be like this. After the production of yarn and cloth increases, the price of cloth will decrease, and more poor people will be able to wear enough warm clothes. clothes..."

Lena: "Heller, you have a very good idea, but the facts have proved that things will not always develop as expected. The reality is that those poor people are robbed of their jobs by your machines, you still see Do not understand?!"

Heller Velen: "They just need time! After a long time, the price of cloth will drop, and their lives will improve. At that time, they will know that my spinning machine is for them!"

Lena: "Heller, wake up, how long will it take? Ten years? Decades? How long will it take for them to enjoy your kindness? By then they will all be dead!"

Heller Velen fell silent.

He was silent for a long time, but just when Reina felt that she had convinced him, his voice was much hoarse than usual.

"Then it's up to me to speed up this period of time. Since I can improve the spinning machine, I can also improve the loom. No, no, I don't just want to improve them. I want to build a workshop. As long as this workshop is The whole of Urang can be supplied with cloth at the lowest price, so that even the poorest poor can afford cloth, won’t this solve the problem?”

Reina opened her mouth and said after a while: "Are you crazy?! Let alone whether this kind of thing can be done, what difference does it make? They still lost their jobs! Those who spin the yarn What are you going to have them do? What are they going to do but spin?!"

"Miss Reina."

Reina was taken aback, it had been a long time since anyone called her "Miss Reina".

"You and I are very clear that you can sit in this position today because of Riemann, you either promise me, or I write to Riemann to change Ulan's queen."

Lena's right hand squeezed tighter and tighter, she gritted her teeth: "Why don't you ask Riemann first, what does he think of the disaster caused by your machine? Riemann has always sympathized with the weak, and he may have regretted his original decision. Isn't it?"

"I've written to him and asked."

Reina suddenly raised her head: "He...what did he say?"

"He says……"

"Do what you feel is right, Heller."

……

Reina had no choice but to ask Heller to propose that he wanted to build a workshop from spinning to weaving, but before he could start the construction, the two dukes took over the burden.

The two dukes are too lazy to make technological innovations because they don’t need them. No technological innovations will stop them from making money, but if technological innovations are required, they will not allow anyone other than them to enjoy the benefits—although they are open The above reason is "want to contribute to the good wish of everyone affording clothes".

Heller didn't mind who paid for the completion of the workshop, and who was the ultimate beneficiary, so Lena finalized the final plan.

The workshop was finally funded by Duke Fernandi, Duke of Bougal and operated by Helle Velen.

Not long after the workshop was completed, the new machines inside were smashed up at night by farmers who heard the news.

The furious Duke Fernandi asked the queen to find these mobs, but the queen refused because it was too difficult to investigate.

After Heller Velen rebuilt the new machine, at the request of the two dukes, the queen had to send a guard to protect the newly built workshop.

Heller glanced at the Queen's Guards patrolling outside the fence, sighed, got into the carriage and drove towards home.

After he stepped into the Velen family's mansion sullenly, General Velen gave him a worried look—his son has matured a lot recently, but he has also become depressed a lot. son back.

Heller Velen didn't go back to his room directly to sleep. He opened today's newspapers in the study, wanting to relax.

The Duke of Hausmann of Sidney is also trying to defend the "heliocentric theory" today.

Heller couldn't help showing a weak smile.

Five years ago, after he sent out Riemann's article, he was busy improving the spinning machine. After finishing this work, he read the newspapers during that time, and finally saw this Hausmann The Duke passionately reprimanded him for publishing this article for Riemann as "a clumsy act of sycophancy". As a result, he saw the next newspaper before he angrily took out the parchment and began to refute one by one.

The Duke of Hausmann of Sidney used nearly 40 years of star observation data to calculate the orbits of six planets (including this one), and began to stand for the "heliocentric theory", well, the name is that It was taken by a duke, and Heller thought it was a good fit, so he didn't refute it.

After that, Heller could always see the duke debating with other people in the newspaper from time to time, and he couldn't help but think of the duke's original article, and then he couldn't help showing a smile.

He put away the newspaper and walked towards the bedroom. His last thought before falling into a dream was "It will be fine when the workshop opens...", but he must know sooner or later——

Things always backfire.
