Release that Witch

Chapter 252: New round of procurement

Roland, who is the lord of the West, naturally doesn't have to do it himself. He just needs to draw a rough look on the paper and then make it clear with the recruited tailor.

Although I haven't touched the bra myself, there are so many kinds of advertisements, TV shows and movies. There are so many styles. He chose the most common shoulder strap and button, and the buttons are three sets of copper hooks. Choose the degree of easing within.

This kind of thing can meet the requirements of the corset because it needs to be worn close to the body. Therefore, Roland also called the maid in the castle to let the tailor measure the size. The other party has been engaged in cutting clothes for many years and has rich experience. After listening to the interpretation of His Royal Highness Prince, She immediately understood the role of the bra, and according to the actual measurement results, the size of the bra was divided into several grades, and the adjustment range was subdivided under different grades.

In fact, the prototype of the bra has already appeared in this era, that is, the corset. But it is not to make women more comfortable, but to tighten the waist as much as possible, and to hold up the chest, so that the body looks like an hourglass. Those gorgeous aristocratic dresses are also designed according to the thin waist. Without the support of the corset, I am afraid that it is difficult for the average woman to wear this dress with a very thin waist. Too much pressure on the waist is an extremely uncomfortable experience. In severe cases, it can even affect blood circulation and cause fainting.

In addition to holding the chest, the bra can also play a role in fixing and reducing tremors, and it will only make women more relaxed when worn everyday.

In just two days, the old tailor cut out 20 bras. The materials used are the satin and the good cotton cloth provided by Roland. They are both beautiful and breathable, and the workmanship is also extraordinarily fine.

However, when Roland sent the gift to the witch, the caravan from Wangdu arrived in Bianbu Town.

Compared with the previous month, the fleet is not only late, but also far from the above. When the sailboat stops at the dockside of the town, there is even a feeling of sparseness.

"His Royal Highness, we met again," Margaret smiled.

"Welcome, it’s hard to transport the fugitives before," Roland looked at the riverside fleet. "This sailing seems to be a lot less?"

"Because of some...accidental reasons," she wiped the sweat from her forehead. "If you don't mind, let's go to the living room and talk, it's too hot."

"I think so too," Hogg muttered. "I am a gray-spot man. This ghost weather can kill me. If it wasn't for the first steam engine, I wouldn't want to leave the house."

Roland nodded and returned to the castle with a group of people. Going into the hall, a cool moment suddenly came to the face, Hogg gave a sigh of relief. "Thanks to the gods for letting us discover such a wonderful thing... I couldn't believe it if I didn't see the production process of the ice mang with my own eyes. It is from the manure. Oh, there is ice water! Your Highness, can I?"

"Of course," Roland made a gesture of asking, then sat back to the main seat and asked the woman, "So, what caused the accident to be a sharp drop in the saltpeter this month?"

According to the contract, she should provide at least three ships of saltpeter to Bianbu Town every month, but this time, there is only one sailing ship carrying saltpeter.

"Because of the Wangdu Alchemy Association, they have been buying saltpeter recently, the price is not high, but with the support of the former Prime Minister, Marquis Wick, so this is not a pure deal, the merchants do not want to sell." Margaret said, "I guess the reason behind this is Tefco. After all, the Prime Minister is almost out with a nostril."

“Tefico?” Roland asked questioningly. “Did he not go to the South?”

"It is true," she nodded. "It seems that Tassa has already told you the news. I heard that he had brought a lot of people and heavy weights before he left the king. In all likelihood, he went to Garcia. The Alchemy Association’s acquisition of saltpeter was not long after he left."

Roland knew more about the matter. It was really effective to arrange Tassa to work in Wangdu. At the beginning, he only received news that Tefko had called the underground mouse. In order to prevent the other party from committing a sudden incursion, he also specifically asked Pei to strengthen the fortress. The realm of work. However, the next secret letter of the Guardian gave Roland a little sigh of relief and went straight to the South. It was obvious that the recruitment was not directed against him.

For the use of these mice, Roland and the guards have basically the same view, that is, they are not suitable for frontal combat, and the discipline is not even as good as civilians and serfs. Therefore, the way that Feifeike uses this group is the same as the last time. It is first addicted with drugs, and then they are forced to go to the enemy. This tactic of relying on cannon fodder to repeatedly consume the other side's strength is a safe strategy for the new king who owns two-thirds of the gray fort.

But why did the alchemy association suddenly want to buy a lot of saltpeter? Snow powder was originally one of their fist products, but the wrong ratio can only be used to ring the bucket. Now they are discovering the correct formula of gunpowder, are they going to manufacture in batches, or are they on the way to determine the best mix ratio through a lot of experiments?

Roland shook his head and put aside the doubts that emerged in his mind. It is not meaningful to speculate. It is the right way to complete the industrial production of tri-acid and alkali, and transfer to more advanced chemical gunpowder.

"Then the saltpeter of the next month can't guarantee the supply of the three ships?"

"This... I don't know," Margaret looked a little embarrassed, but still bluntly said, "I have spent a lot of time on the ship that came to the West. I bought it from Silver City. Now it is the summer. When the heat is hot, the demand for saltpeter is very large, so I am not sure how much I can buy. If it is other seasons, I can guarantee the supply of the three ships."

"I understand," Roland drank in the water. "The next month, try not to, and there is no need to reluctantly. I have new goods here that I need to purchase from you."

“Hey?” Margaret seemed to be relieved. “What? Or is it ore?”

“Washing stones for washing clothes,” he replied. “It looks like a white turbid wafer or stone pillar. It feels slippery and greasy in the water. This is not uncommon in the Wangdu Hotel.”

“Sure enough... it’s an ore,” the businesswoman smiled helplessly. “It’s obvious that there is a big mine in your territory. The goods you buy are all minerals. It’s really hard to understand. Well, this is a lot of things. The price is not expensive, what are you going to do with it?"

"Nature is used to wash clothes more conveniently," Roland smiled.

Washing stone is also a thing that he turned out from the memory of the Four Princes. It is essentially a trona, the main component is sodium bicarbonate, which has strong decontamination effect, and the grass ash and pancreas are called the ancient three cleaning tools. . In the absence of an ion exchange membrane, the efficiency of collecting sodium hydroxide by electrolyzed brine is extremely low, and salt is not a price of cabbage. So he plans to buy trona directly to make caustic soda. With a sufficient amount of caustic soda, it is good to make soap on a large scale... and a by-product of soap, glycerin.
