The next day, Rocky had a room in the City Lord's Mansion cleaned up early in the morning and used it as his own research room.

Since he could draw a first-level magic rune now, he naturally planned to hurry up and learn how to make it.

It's just that it's better to have a separate research room for this kind of thing, but fortunately, there are enough rooms in the City Lord's Mansion, just arrange someone to clean up one, and then put all the equipment scavenged from the research institute into it, and a research room can be completed.

But what Rocky didn't expect was that the room used to be used as a laboratory hadn't been cleaned up yet, and Irene, who had met yesterday, came first.

"Sorted out so quickly?"

Holding a thick stack of data in his hand, Rocky was a little hard to believe, because this stack of data was the financial summary of the last three quarters of Thunder Eagle City.

Yesterday, Rocky did ask Erin to prepare this information and give it to herself, but she didn't expect that she would be so quick and only a day later to count so much information?

Looking at the information in his hand, and then at Erin standing in front of him, Rocky was a little incredulous.

In his eyes, Erin was just a slim girl, she looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, even younger than him, but he didn't expect her ability to handle things to be so strong.

If this information was compiled with the help of Voss, it would be fine, but if Erin completed it alone, then this girl who still looks childish is really not simple.

Thinking of this, Rocky asked tentatively: "Erin, have you read all the financial information about Thunder Eagle City?"

"I've seen it. ”

There wasn't much expression on her face, and Erin answered.

"In that case, do you want to tell me?"

Seeing her nod, Rocky asked again.

"Yes, I hope the Lord will be ready. ”

In the face of Rocky's casual question, Erin really nodded, and then said: "I just got the news that the price of yarn imported next month may be much higher than in the past. ”

"Oh?"

Never expected Erin to mention the yarn, Rocky frowned.

As mentioned before, weaving is the only industry in Thunder Eagle City, the men in the city are responsible for farming, and the women are weaving at home, so every quarter the city lord's mansion imports the yarn used in weaving from the cooperative chambers of commerce, so as to ensure that the residents can produce cloth.

Erin's words made Rocky suddenly realize that it was already August, and September was the last month of the third quarter, and as the city lord, he really had to prepare the yarn needed for the fourth quarter.

It's just that he wonders why Erin suddenly told him that the price of yarn is going to rise.

This matter made Rocky dare not be careless, because this matter is not trivial, it is directly related to the financial income of Thunder Eagle City and the food and clothing of the residents, so he immediately put aside the magic rune he was thinking about in his heart, and looked at Erin solemnly.

"Erin, what the hell is going on, there's something wrong with the Azure Chamber of Commerce?"

There are two chambers of commerce that work with Thunderhawk City, and the Teal Chamber of Commerce mentioned by Lodge is one of them, which is mainly responsible for providing yarn and food to the city, and the cloth produced is sold to another chamber of commerce.

In the face of his question, Erin said directly:

"My lord, it's not that the Azure Chamber of Commerce has a problem, it's that Blue Wolf City is at war. ”

"You mean...... Blue Wolf City is at war?"

"Yes, the message is reliable. ”

Facing a slightly surprised Rocky, Erin nodded, then her eyes fell on his face, carefully observing his reaction.

For the city lord in front of him, don't look at Erin's calm performance, but he is actually full of interest.

Previously, Voss gave her the position of treasurer, Erin was always a little puzzled, with her cleverness, of course, she could understand what grandpa meant, grandpa wanted her to establish a relationship with the city lord in front of her from scratch, but Erin didn't know why she did it.

The city lord in front of him, who looks ordinary and is known for his reputation, is worthy of establishing a relationship by himself?

Erin couldn't figure it out, but she agreed with her grandfather's approach and became a little curious about Rocky.

As she had just said, it was true that she had only gotten the news today, but the reason why she had told Rocky was not because of loyalty, but because Irene wanted to take the opportunity to see how the city lord would react.

Is this lord an incompetent wreck, as rumored to be, or is there really something extraordinary?

Of course, Rocky didn't know what Erin was thinking at this time, because he was thinking about more important issues.

After a while, he sighed, and then glanced at Erin: "So, there may be a problem with the food for the winter?"

Obviously discussing the rise in yarn prices, Rocky suddenly mentioned the food for the winter, which is completely the donkey's lips not the horse's mouth.

But it was precisely his words that made Erin's eyes light up!

Isn't this city lord pretty good?

Looking at Rocky intently, Erin had an imperceptible smile on her face.

It seems that this city lord is not particularly unbearable, at least his brain is enough.

Because the price of yarn has risen, it is indeed related to the food problem of Thunder Eagle City!

The two may seem unrelated, but they are actually closely related.

As we all know, the textile industry is the only industry in Thunder Eagle City, and the income from exporting cloth is also the only source of income for Thunder Eagle City, and the use of this money is even more important, that is, to buy grain.

Thunder Eagle City's own food production is simply not enough to feed everyone, and it has to buy additional food to meet the needs of the residents.

However, if the price of yarn as a raw material rises, the profits from exporting cloth will decrease, and the money used to buy grain will naturally decrease.

Some people may wonder, what is the reason for the increase in the price of raw materials? If the price of cloth also rises, will the matter be solved when the two cancel each other out?

This sounds reasonable, but you can only listen to the reality where it can be so simple.

After all, the reason why the cloth in Thunder Eagle City can be sold is because of the cheap price!

In this sky, there is more than one Sky City that produces cloth, compared with other Sky Cities, the cloth produced by Thunder Eagle City has to be produced without production, and the only advantage is that the price is cheap, which will attract the Chamber of Commerce to buy in large quantities, but once Rocky raises the price of the cloth, then there will be no Chamber of Commerce to trade with them at all.

In this matter, Thunder Eagle City has no bargaining capital at all.

So in the final analysis, the root of the question is the fact that the price of yarn is going to rise.

Regarding the increase in the price of yarn, in fact, Erin has already given the reason: there is a war going on in Blue Wolf City!

Blue Wolf City is a large sky city with a population of more than 100,000, and the headquarters of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, which has cooperation with Thunder Eagle City, is located in this city.

The reason why the Azure Chamber of Commerce can sell a large amount of yarn is precisely because Blue Wolf City produces a large amount of cotton, so the Chamber of Commerce will do yarn business.

But now that Blue Wolf City is at war, this will inevitably lead to an increase in prices in the city, and the yarn sold by the Azure Chamber of Commerce to Thunder Eagle City will inevitably take this opportunity to increase in price.

And what is more important is that Thunder Eagle City not only has to import yarn from the Azure Chamber of Commerce, but also has to buy the food needed for the city to survive the winter from the Azure Chamber of Commerce!

Since the headquarters is in a large sky city like Blue Wolf City, the Azure Chamber of Commerce can get a large amount of food, but with the war in Blue Wolf City, it is not easy to get more food, and the price of the food provided by the Azure Chamber of Commerce will also rise.

The price of yarn has risen, the income of cloth has decreased, not only has the money for selling grain decreased, but the price of grain may rise sharply.

That's why Erin asked Rocky to prepare, because with Thunderhawk City's current financial resources, it is very likely that it will not be able to buy enough food for the winter, and once the food is insufficient, then a large number of people will starve to death in the city!

If this really happens, then it will be a real big crisis for Thunderhawk City, and Rocky, as the city lord, will naturally be ready to meet this crisis.

In fact, Erin thought that Rocky couldn't think of such a far-reaching thing, after all, the relationship was not only complicated, but also not obvious, and people with poor brains or slow reactions would not have thought that a yarn would cause such a big crisis, but Rocky really thought of it, so it was very interesting.

Because Rocky already knew the seriousness of the matter, then Erin wanted to know how the city lord in front of him planned to let Thunderhawk City get through the difficulties?

yes, how to get Thunderhawk City through this?

At this time, Rocky's mood was really helpless and powerless, the discovery of the magic rune should have given him a bright future, but he didn't think that he hadn't even learned a rune, Thunder Eagle City had encountered such a big problem, and if this matter was not handled carefully, it would be a big mess!

So how to get Thunder Eagle City through this difficulty, Rocky is really thinking carefully......
