“Change part of it.”
“Excluding the cloth we have to use for ours, save the rest as much as you can and exchange as much ice as you can back.”
Most of the merchants still had a lot of spare cloths when they went out, for there was no other reason than the fact that in the forest there were inevitably some special situations where the cloths broke, or were torn, or were left out.
So it’s always safe to have some extra at this time, as it’s a matter of life and death after all.
However, at this time, it was clear that this was no longer an option and they had to be careful with the only cloth they had and replace it with a spare one.
Luo Ying’er glanced at Luo Jin, “Father, should we change some too?”
The Luo family actually had quite a lot of cloth, for one thing, it was easier for them to buy these cloths because of their status, and for another, they were always the core department that ran the whole city
, therefore, they needed to go and prepare some of this stuff.
In case any of the merchants were all out of cloth, or in case any of the city folk had lost their cloth at home.
As functionaries, they had to be prepared for these eventualities.
So, the city owner’s office actually has a large number of cloths from the famous shops.
“Go and get some, just exchange some for enough for the House, and also, exchange some for storage, and see which families are without ice because they have no cloth or money, and then quietly send some over, human lives are at stake.”
Luo Ying’er nodded, greeted some of her servants, and took her own maidservant to go back to the house to get some cloth.
About half an hour later, many people came back with cloths from the famous door shop.
The owner also did as he had said, according to the proportions, and kept exchanging ice for ice, a new trade was in full swing.
And in the night sky city ten miles
away from the enemy camp.
The elder’s brow was furrowed, and his eyes looked deadly at the scout who came to report.
“When really strange.”
The elder said, and then stretched out his hand, feeling the temperature slightly: “Today’s weather is already considered good, but to be honest, it has absolutely nothing to do with heat, but the city of Night Sky is now as hot as a steamer?”
“Elder, there’s something strange going on.”
“Yes.”
The spy hastily bowed his head, “My subordinates are telling the truth.”
“When it’s cold, you buy ice, but this night the city is strangely surprisingly hot, and they are selling ice.
“Could it be that those who buy ice are the ones who are doing the trick? But the question is, how did this group of people make Night Sky City extremely hot and dry?”
The elder muttered, unable to think for a moment
He could not understand.
More importantly, what was the purpose of this?
merely to make money?!
“Go on, probe again!”
“Yes!”
The scout received his orders and was just about to go out when another scout in the city suddenly ran in.
“Report to the elders, that group of ice sellers in Night Sky City have made a new move, they have engaged in the so-called bartering, as long as you use the cloth from the famous door shop, one catty can be exchanged for ten thousand catties of ice.”
When a subordinate heard this, he immediately laughed coldly, “Although the cloth from the Famous Gate Store is indeed rare, however, one catty of cloth can be exchanged for ten thousand catties of ice this seems a bit ridiculous, right?”
“Yes, but then again, it’s a way to make money, the cloth from the Famous Gate Shop is special after all, so if you take it out and exchange it for money, you can indeed exchange it for a lot of money.”
A later spy hurriedly said, “I heard from the ice sellers that they thought the same thing
The cloth, once it is outside, is an oddity and can fetch a better price, and naturally, the cost of the ice and the proceeds are recovered.”
“Not true.” The elder suddenly raised his hand, “No, that’s not right.”
A group of subordinates saw the Elder doing this and wondered very much, what is wrong with this?
“Elder, what’s wrong?” The envoy frowned.
“The cloth from the famous shop, are they really using it to resell? Have you thought of a possibility ……,” the Elder looked at the envoy.
Looking at the Elder’s incomparably serious eyes, suddenly, the envoy’s heart also snapped cold: “Elder, do you mean to say that the cloth …… was not bought to take out to sell, but …… was instead used to withstand the extreme cold? ”
“Then …… that the mastermind behind this matter …… Han …… Han Qianqian, he… …”
Suddenly, the envoy was shocked to the point of petrification on the spot…
