In the academy's propaganda for cadet students, going to the North to become a military mage seems to be a path full of bright prospects.

It seems that these mages, who have only studied for three years, can beat up the religious madmen in the north as long as they go to the battlefield.

In the past, Charlene Karl really believed in this statement, and was even full of juvenile fantasies, but now Charin doesn't even believe a letter.

And the facts that Ellen said are indeed not much different from what he guessed.

The Empire has cultivated them only to increase the magical support available to the front, to compete with the priests of the Evil Light who have mastered the power of magic.

Although the army will take great care to protect them in order to protect the source of the spell scrolls, the military mage still has to go to the front line.

After all, crafting spell scrolls has a cost and success rate problem, and a one-ring mage can provide one-ring spell support seven to eight times a day as long as they are on the front line.

On the front line, casualties are bound to occur, especially when both sides focus on each other's spellcasters in order to reduce losses, and the casualty rate of military mages remains high.

Unlike mages who can't wear metal armor and attack tall and thin skins, the priests of the Evil Light Cult are also spellcasters, but they can cast spells while wearing metal armor.

And their power, which the people of the north call the light of evil, also has the effect of restoring injuries.

Relying on the protection of the armor and the power of the evil light, the priests of the evil light sect will naturally have a much higher survival rate on the battlefield than the mages.

Xia Lin listened to Ellen's words, and suddenly felt a little silent, and a little happy in his heart.

If he hadn't awakened the memories of his previous life the night before yesterday and sensed something wrong from all kinds of clues, he would have stepped into that fire pit like those ignorant young sergeants of his rank.

Although he has some sympathy for those classmates who are dying on the move, Xia Lin himself is a mud bodhisattva who is struggling in a mud pit with half his body, and how can he have extra energy and time to pay attention to them.

After silently sending them a blessing from the bottom of his heart, Xia Lin continued to talk to Ellen Gao.

Hurgana, the imperial capital of the Sassen Empire, covers an area of about fifty square kilometers, and although Viscount Greg is undoubtedly a close vassal of the emperor, the Greg family's manor is not close to Hurgana.

Xia Lin felt that the carriage had been driving for about an hour before it finally stopped, the road conditions in this world were not good, even if the seats were quite high-end cushioned, but when he got off the car, he felt as if his ass had been turned upside down.

However, he gained a lot along the way, and seeing Xia Lin able to talk and laugh with their master, the coachman sitting in front of the carriage and Ellen's personal valet also respected him a lot.

Ellen brought Charling not to his estate, but to a small village called Berwick, populated by tenants and serfs of the Greg family.

The village of Berwick is conveniently located by the river, and there is a wooded forest to the south of the village, which is rich in natural resources, and it is home to most of the artisans on the Greg family estate.

Seeing the carriage of the lord of the manor, someone in the field soon ran to report the news, and it was not long before a small old farmer-looking village chief ran over, saddling his horse and entertaining the group.

Guided by the village chief, Xia Lin and his team found a carpenter's shack on the south side of the village, which was full of lumber and various tools.

In the shed, six carpenters are creaking and crunching logs into planks with saws. When they saw the village chief and Ellen, they knew that they were probably looking for some work, so they stopped what they were doing.

"I have a spinning tool here that you need to make, Xia Lin, you give them the drawings."

As a nobleman, Eren had little interest in talking to these carpenters, and said straight to the point.

When the carpenters got the drawings from Xia Lin, they obviously couldn't understand it at first, but these people were all old carpenters, and after they figured out the concept of three views under Xia Lin's guidance, they quickly understood the content of the drawings.

After reading Xia Lin's drawings, they talked to each other, and it wasn't long before the darkest-skinned carpenter said with certainty:

"My lord, these paintings are very interesting, I think we should be able to make them!"

"Since it's possible, then you can do it now! If you succeed in crafting this tool, I promise you that each of you will be rewarded with ten silver mars! This is my friend Xia Lin, these drawings are drawn by him, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him! ”

Receiving an affirmative answer, Ellen's expression relaxed slightly, but quickly became serious again.

He was not prepared to go to a clean, shady place to hide from the sun, so he stood in the messy carpentry shed and watched the carpenters until his valet neatly moved a machined stool from the corner and he sat down on the side.

Xia Lin knew that his plan had entered the most critical part, as long as he could get Jenny spinning machine out of the real thing, his plan would be a complete success.

To this end, Xia Lin had to work together with these carpenters, after all, he had never touched carpentry tools, and belonged to a theoretical giant and a practical dwarf.

Therefore, Xia Lin assigned the drawing task to each carpenter in detail, explained the detailed data and processing requirements of the parts on the drawing to them one by one, and almost opened a production meeting for them.

The structure of the Jenny spinning machine is simple, but the most difficult part is the rotating spindle bar that connects the spinning spindle to the drum and the crank runner on the right side.

In less than half an hour, a few skilled carpenters machined the frame, the roller, and the sliding tension bar.

As for the two runners, it is easy to solve, the large one is directly modified with the spare carriage wheel in the carpentry workshop, and a crank is attached to the wheel, and the small one is first processed with a wooden board to make a rough hexagon, and then processed accurately with a saw and file.

In order to save time, only three rotatable spindle rods were processed for demonstration, and when the materials were ready, Xia Lin instructed the carpenters to assemble these parts, and there was a family of leathermen in the village, and the transmission belt was quickly processed and delivered.

After assembling Jenny's spinning machine, Xia Lin tried to turn the parts that needed to be rotated, and found that the carpenters who only had a three-piece set of sawing axes were still not very good at the accuracy of the circle, and the drum and spindle rod were all creaking when they turned.

He asked for some soybean oil to smear the joints, hung the roving on the hook of the spindle, and began to spin it one by one.

Ellen had already gotten up from the stool when he saw Xia Lin assembling Jenny's spinning machine step by step, standing aside and watching eagerly, and now Xia Lin finally started to demonstrate the use process of Jenny's spinning machine, and he stared intently.

Forward, the runner retracts the yarn, the tension rod is loosened, and the tension rod is reversed, the tension rod is pressed, and the runner spins the yarn......

The magical power of the delicate wooden mechanical structure made the eyes of everyone around them open in disbelief.

"The gods are above, only three spindles have spun so many spindles in such a while, if you make all the remaining thirteen spindle rods, you can spin at least two heavy spindles in a day! One pound of spun yarn five copper bis...... Double-weight ...... That's an extra twenty copper bis! ”

The carpenter who was the first of these carpenters was good at math and probably had been in contact with the spinning industry, and after a little calculation, he estimated the profit of Jenny's spinning machine, and was suddenly amazed.

"Shhh Twenty copper besse?! ”

Ellen, who was also amazed by the efficiency of Jenny's spinning machine, gasped when he heard the carpenter's estimate, and he also did some calculations, but the conclusion he came to was exactly in line with the carpenter's estimate.

A vertical spindle spinning machine can increase the profit of twenty copper coins a day, so if nearly a thousand or so female spinning women in his own chamber of commerce can each have one, wouldn't it be able to bring a profit of nearly two gold lunds to the Greg Chamber of Commerce in one day?! That year, it was 700 gold lund! That's twice the annual income of the Greg family!!

Although this profit was only possible if the Greg Chamber of Commerce was able to provide so many spindle spinning machines, the Chamber of Commerce only had to pay each female worker five copper pebis per day.

But even if the cost of adding the vertical spindle spinning machine and increasing the wages of female workers, the profit margin of the Greg Chamber of Commerce is not small, and the most important thing is that Ellen saw the possibility of the Greg family becoming a giant in the spinning industry from the vertical spinning machine!

Although the Greg Chamber of Commerce has always been a member of the Imperial Capital Textile Guild, it is very weak compared to the real giants in the textile industry, and usually relies on those giants to leak a little profit from their fingers to live.

But if you can grasp the key link of the textile industry, maybe the Greg family's voice in the textile guild can be raised to the point of being on a par with those giants.

Isn't this the opportunity I envisioned to lead the Greg Chamber of Commerce to grow and develop?

"Charin, my dear friend! Rest assured! I am not a stingy man, and I value the credibility of our family, and your spindle spinning machine will bring you forty gold lunts and the friendship of our family! ”

In a flash of thought, Eren excitedly grabbed Xia Lin's shoulders and solemnly promised.

"It is my pleasure and thank you for your generosity! If I design a new machine, I will definitely give priority to working with the Greg Chamber of Commerce! ”

Xia Lin originally expected that it would be enough to get thirty gold lunts, but he didn't expect that Ellen actually increased his psychological expectations by an additional ten gold lundes, and his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he saw that Ellen became more and more pleasing to the eye.

If there is an opportunity, Xia Lin will definitely give priority to Ellen as his partner, after all, it is difficult to find such a discerning and generous collaborator.

Moreover, the Greg family has a certain influence in the imperial capital, and as a one-ring mage and an ordinary honorary knight, Xia Lin feels that he still needs this collaborator to shield himself from the wind and rain before he grows.

"I believe you, after all, who would have thought that as long as you put the spindles vertically, you can spin the spindles at once! My friend, your divine inspired wisdom will surely bring us more riches! ”

After the guests and hosts were happy, Ellen gave the carpenters a reward, and immediately asked his personal valet to go to the manor to fetch forty glittering gold coins, put them in a linen money bag and give them to Xia Lin, and let his coachman drive Xia Lin back to the imperial capital, looking very caring.
