Chapter 90: Vacation Suggestions
To be honest, since Lastina came to Moher's mansion, everyone in the mansion is not as casual as before.
After all, Lastina is an outsider anyway.
She didn't recognize Dora at the time, nor did she know the true identity of the other people in the mansion.
Logically, she should know Lisiduowei, but according to Lisiduowei, the relationship between the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce and the Scarlet Queen is very distant, and there is almost no business connection. At that time, most humans only knew the Scarlet Queen, not Lisiduowei.
Not only that, Lisiduowei's betrayal of the demon clan has nothing to do with merchants. Usually, as a middle- and low-level merchant, it is unlikely to know the details.
If Lastina is indeed married to a count from a noble family, she is likely to know about Lisiduowei-she only met A. Godora when she was a child. It's not strange that she can't recognize her.
But everyone in the mansion doesn't care much about this issue.
After all, the purpose is to hide one's identity. It stands to reason that it is better to do it this way. There is always an "outsider" around, which makes it easier for everyone to hide their identity. It is a prop specially used to remind everyone, reminding Mohe that she is Mohe and not Mordor, and reminding Doro that he is Doro and not A. Godora.
In fact, some effects have already begun.
The most direct manifestation is the increase in food prices.
"Look what I said. Food prices have gone up, and in fact, the price of alcohol will also go up during this period." Mo He held the account book of the mansion and couldn't help but sigh, "In theory, we can make more profits by selling it at this time, but - if our alcohol is just ordinary in the eyes of others, it will be a bit eye-catching to sell it during this special period."
Mo He discussed this issue with everyone: "As for our small mansion, although we have some confidence, it is better not to be too eye-catching at this time. If we are targeted by some people, regardless of whether it will fail or not, it is not a good thing to be exposed to the world. Our size is not big enough to be exposed to the world. Before you are strong enough, 'secrecy' is the biggest amulet."
Lastina looked at Moher unexpectedly: "Miss Moher, you are much calmer than I thought. Many times, people make money but don't know this. They make a little money and tell everyone about it. This behavior often makes them lose this money quickly. Few people can keep their secrets. "
Moher said shyly: "Miss Lastina, I will accept your compliment with peace of mind. Let me tell you what will happen next. Although I don't know what will happen specifically, there will definitely be big things happening. The nearby grain production has not decreased, but the price increase is directly reflected in the price list. In recent days, the price of grain has increased by nearly one-tenth, and it will increase more in the future. This is terrifying. "
Food is different from other things. Once the price increases, the consequences are very terrifying.
At this time, the price increase is not high, and some people may think it is a normal fluctuation.
"Such a situation shows that the nobles and merchants have smelled something wrong and started to hoard food in order to cope with the possible chaos. "
Of course, neither Lisiduowei nor Rose is particularly familiar with this situation. They could only listen. Although they were responsible for purchasing and they reported the price changes, they did not have such a keen perception. In this world, being sensitive to numbers is a very important talent.
"You mean, we should also start hoarding food?" Duo Luo's face was not very good.
Mo He originally wanted to say "We don't need to hoard". After all, if the nobles and merchants hoarded, it would be equivalent to them having it. When the time comes, just go and get it. It's not too difficult. But considering Duo Luo's mood... She changed her words slightly: "You don't have to worry too much. Although unrest may come, you should have more confidence in the great King of Virtue."
She suddenly mentioned the King of Virtue: "Although his majesty's behavior has been criticized in some places, he is loyal to mankind and does love the people in the Central Empire enough. This is also the reason why he is loved and named the King of Virtue - he will have a way to deal with this situation. Even if some uncontrollable events occur, everyone should at least be able to survive, so we just need to hoard a little, not too much." Duo Luo
glanced at Mo He.
The girl saw through his thoughts at a glance. This kind of thing has been happening more and more frequently recently... It's not that he can't understand it. As she gets more and more in touch with Moher, it's natural that she gets to know him more and more. Even if it's just ordinary people getting along, as time goes by, they will gradually develop a clearer outline.
And...
Duo Luo is not sure whether his thoughts are influenced by Moher to a certain extent. It's probably true.
It's just that even if he examines himself, he can't find that kind of influence, the kind that makes him think that no matter how he thinks, it's "correct".
He just wanted to say that if the unrest really happened and food prices were high and hard to come by, what would the people of Baixi Town do? Could they stockpile some food first so that they could at least provide relief when the time comes? For life forms like them, food is easy to get, but for ordinary people, it's difficult.
But there is nothing wrong with what Mo He said.
In the prosperous Central Empire of Humanity under the rule of the Wise King, even in the most marginal places, people can be proud of the glory of the Central Empire, proudly hold their chests high, and say "I am a noble human being", and the Wise King will not let such things go. Apart from anything else, he is really responsible for humans. At least in recent years, basically no one has heard of starving to death...
Of course, it is not to say that there is absolutely no darkness - but it is also true that the territory of the Central Empire of Humanity is now like a paradise for many species.
If the Wise King does this for a few decades until he abdicates, I am afraid he will leave an unprecedented reputation in history. Just the fact that he defeated the Demon King is an eternal monument.
However, the ambition of the Wise King is not limited to this.
So the turmoil will come.
"For the recent period, let's all be honest. Winter is coming, and it shouldn't be a problem for us to spend the winter peacefully."
Miss Mo He is really like an ordinary person with a little money, looking forward to "stability".
Of course, everyone knows that this is just a dream.
Even Lastina thought so. After all, these people looked very ordinary. But if you think about it carefully, you will know at a glance that she is the eldest daughter of the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce and dares to bring herself with her. And her father has not come yet... Could it be that the crystal ball really predicted related things? So the engagement was deliberately made by her father, just to force her to escape the marriage, and the route she escaped was set by him?
From this perspective, is the crystal ball predicting the future or manipulating the future?
It is clear that after seeing part of the future, the father forced things to proceed according to the development of the crystal ball. Is this reasonable?
And I heard that the crystal ball can only predict major events.
In other words, it is a big deal for me to come to this mansion?
For whom?
She didn't know. Anyway, she didn't expect to be able to live a truly stable life. She always felt that something was going to happen.
Some things can be answered with a calm mind and without emotions. She couldn't help but think of the deal between Duo Luo and herself. He said he would help her and make her a businessman who was not inferior to the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce, not the eldest lady of the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce. She couldn't even control her own fate.
But at present, he didn't seem to make any moves?
In this mansion, the girl named Moher is the absolute owner... Does Moher have any hidden identity?
"Let me think about it, let's go to a warmer place for vacation?"
Moher suddenly made such a suggestion: "I heard that there is a city called Butuo City, which is a volcanic city. It seems to be very warm all year round. Even in winter, there will be no flying snow. There are also living volcanoes to see, which must be quite good."
Butuo City is certainly not unfamiliar to everyone. It is not too far from Baixi Town. If you hire a normal carriage, it is only about half a month's journey.
In the eyes of Lastina, this is a reasonable suggestion. Although it is said that Butuo City had some problems before, it has been several months. And I heard that Butuo City is indeed very warm. Lastina, who recently took over Moh's business, also knew that it would not be difficult to take everyone to Butuo City to spend a warm winter with Moh's financial resources.
But... is she going to use all the money she earned this year for enjoyment?
Besides, growing grapes and making wine does not mean that you have nothing to do in winter. The fields need to be maintained - the same is true for grapevines. I was just praising you for your patience, but now you start to indulge yourself? This is not the attitude to make money...
But subtly, she found that everyone present seemed to be silent.
It seemed that each of them was thinking about their own things. They were not very opposed to going to Butuo City itself. They seemed to be just thinking about the meaning of going to Butuo City.
No, what's the situation?
Does that city have any special meaning to this group of people? Is there anything that must be completed?
"Everyone, get ready. We will leave in a few days. Remember to pack your things. Don't forget when the time comes. Some things are not easy to buy on the spot."
Before Lastina gave her opinion, Moh had made a decision.
