"Except for the cloth we must use, we can save the rest if we can. We can replace as much ice as we can."
Most merchants actually have a lot of backup cloth when they go out. Otherwise, they will inevitably encounter some special circumstances in the forest. The cloth may be damaged, torn, or missing.
Therefore, at this time, it is always safe to prepare more. After all, life is at stake.
However, at this time, it is obvious that they can no longer make such plans. They can only be careful with the only cloth they have and take out the spare ones and replace them.
Luo Ying'er glanced at Luo Jin: "Father, should we change some too?"
The Luo family actually has a lot of cloth. First, because of their status, it is easier to buy these cloths. Second, they are always the core department for the operation of the entire city, so they need to prepare some things in this regard.
What if a merchant loses all his cloth, or what if a city citizen loses his cloth?
As functional parties, they must make these complete preparations.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion actually has a large number of famous stores.
"Go and get some. You can exchange some for your household needs. In addition, exchange some for storage. Let's see which family has no ice because they have no cloth or money. When the time comes, send some quietly there. Life is at stake."
Luo Ying'er nodded, greeted a few servants, and took her maid back to the house to get the cloth.
About half an hour later, many people came back with cloth from famous stores.
As he said, the boss kept exchanging ice in proportion, and a new transaction was in full swing.
And the enemy camp is ten miles away from Yetian City.
The elder frowned and stared at the spy who came to report.
"It's really strange."
The elder said something, then stretched out his hand and felt the temperature slightly: "The weather today is pretty good, but to be honest, it has nothing to do with the heat. In Yetian City,
Now it’s as hot as a steamer?”
"Elder, something is fishy."
"yes."
The spy hurriedly lowered his head: "Everything I say is true."
"I buy ice when it's cold, but now it's weirdly hot in Tiancheng at night, and ice is being sold again. This time, people who buy ice make a lot of money."
"Could it be those people who buy ice? But the question is, how do these people make Yetian City extremely hot?"
The elder murmured to himself, puzzled for a moment.
More importantly, what is the purpose of doing this?
Just make money?!
"Go and explore again!"
"yes!"
The spy took the order and was about to go out. At this time, another spy in the city suddenly ran in.
"Tell the elders that there is something new about the ice sellers in Yetian City. They have engaged in the so-called bartering. As long as they use cloth from famous stores, one pound can be exchanged for ten thousand pounds of ice."
When one of the subordinates heard this, he immediately laughed coldly and said: "Although the cloth in famous stores is indeed rare, it seems a bit ridiculous that one pound of cloth can be exchanged for ten thousand pounds of ice, right?"
"Yes, but this is also a way to make money. The fabrics in famous stores are special after all. If you exchange them for money, you can indeed get a lot of money."
Later, the spy hurriedly said: "I heard from the ice sellers that they think the same way. Once it is distributed outside, it will be a rare commodity and can be sold at a better price. Naturally, the cost and income of the ice will be recovered."
"
"No." The elder suddenly raised his hand: "No, no."
Seeing the elder like this, a group of subordinates were very surprised. What's wrong with this?!
"Elder, what's wrong?" The special envoy frowned.
"Are they really reselling the cloth from famous stores? Have you ever thought about a possibility..." The elder looked at the special envoy.
Looking at the elder's extremely serious eyes, the special envoy suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "Elder, you mean that this cloth... is not bought and sold, but... it is used to resist the extreme cold.
of?"
"Then...then the person behind this incident...Han...Han Sanqian, he..."
Suddenly, the special envoy was so shocked that he turned to stone...
