Chapter 52 The Value of Cotton Clothes

  Time Secret Art: Reversal (can make time flow backwards, can be applied to local or global scope, but you must be able to bear the consumption, if not a god, it's best not to use it recklessly, otherwise you will become a withered person.)

  Time Secret Method: Years (A secret method that accelerates the flow of time, compared to retrospection, it is more dangerous but also more useful, as it consumes very little, however, note that this secret method cannot be undone by retrospection, if used incorrectly, the consequences are yours to bear.)

  The introduction was quite effective, at least Li You Ran decided it's better to use it less! He didn't want to become a human stick.

  Before going to the other world, Li You Ran specially had a set of magic robes made from an old tailor's shop. Of course, he didn't know what kind of dress the mages in the other world wore, so he just imitated Gandalf's clothes from The Lord of the Rings and got a set made, which was also pure white. In Li You Ran's opinion, it looked very suitable for that sort of thing!

  Wearing such clothes, Li You Ran arrived at his own castle. As soon as he appeared, he felt that the population around his castle seemed to have increased a bit, but this was not what Li You Ran cared about! He only saw that many people had already lit bonfires in broad daylight, and all those who were unemployed gathered around the bonfire.

  Li You Ran's arrival was immediately noticed by Zig, who stood at the highest point, able to see better whether the workers were slacking off, and of course more so wanting to monitor the refugees in the distance.

  Regarding Li You Ran's sudden appearances, Qi Ge had apparently gotten used to it. After calling up John and Oak, the three of them immediately went to pay their respects. Li You Ran simply waved his hand for Qi Ge and Oak to go with John to do his own thing, then walked alone to the warehouse.

  John walked away with regret, his eyes filled with envy as he looked at Zig and Oak, but it was just envy. Zig was a noble by birth, while Oak, he himself admitted that he couldn't be as loyal as Oak, if someone threatened his life, he would be the first to surrender.

  It's not shameful to surrender here, every battle has countless peasants and nobles captured, peasants are sold, while nobles ransom themselves, unless they have no money, otherwise they will hardly be sold, life is the most precious, unless encountering extremely evil bandits and duels, generally few nobles die in battle.

  Going up and down, surrender has become a necessity, but if it's an oak tree, it won't be the case. He is still a child, in his heart, Li You Ran who can let him eat his fill is the god in his heart, not to mention that it's not just about eating his fill.

  Li You Ran walked into the warehouse and saw Wen Bo, who was doing something in the corner. Oak had been following Li You Ran's words, and for the past few days, Wen Bo could be said to have spent all his time in the warehouse except when going to the bathroom. Oak was absolutely the best person to monitor him. The child holding a gun was far more dangerous than an adult, and their control was much lower than you imagined.

  He had a deep understanding of this text and often got scared halfway through urination, only to shrink back. As soon as the oak felt that his movements were slow, he would immediately raise his gun.

  "Hey! Wenbo, how have you been these past few days? The air here is better than on Earth, right?"

  Li You Ran enthusiastically greeted him, and Wen Bo had already known in the past few days that this was a different realm, all the rules were different from Earth, and there were even magical beasts! This ruined Wen Bo's escape plan, he didn't want to run outside and become food for the magical beasts.

  "That's right! Too good! It's just too cold, if you can give me a warm electric stove I think I would be grateful to you!" Wenbo knew that Li You Ran wouldn't let him go back, so he didn't waste his energy.

  "It seems you're quite used to it, so I'm relieved. Let me see what I've brought! Of course, the electric stove is out of the question, you can't use it anyway."

  Li You Ran finished speaking and opened up the space, a quilt and cotton-padded clothes fell out together, there were also some hats and gloves, Wen Bo's heart was filled with joy.

  "Wow! Great, with these I won't have to jump around in the corner every day." Wenbo bluntly picked up the clothes on the ground and was about to put them on.

  The result was stopped by Li You and then Zhai Ge, who saw Zhai Ge take a step forward and grab Wen Bo's hand with one twist. Wen Bo immediately cried out in pain, saying: "Ah! It's going to break, hurry up and let go, Li You, tell your people to let go quickly!"

  "Alright, let go." Li You Ran spoke up and Qi Ge naturally let go.

  "What's wrong with you, suddenly hitting people? Did I provoke you?" Wenbo said angrily.

  This is also what Li You Ran wants to know, and in front of Li You Ran, Qi Ge has almost no excessive movements, this is the first time he's hit someone.

  "These are the master's things. Without the master's consent, no one can touch them, not even the master's guests. And you, you're just a prisoner."

  "What! Prisoner? Are you talking to me? Despicable, I...I won't stoop to your level." Ziggy clenched his fist as Wenbo was about to start a fight, and Wenbo had no choice but to back down temporarily, the physical difference in strength being too great.

  "Alright, let him have a set. He still has some use left in him. Ziggy, go and take stock of the numbers. One set per worker, those with family members can also come to collect."

  Li You Ran's words almost made Zige kneel down, these warm clothes were good things that he had never seen before, and as soon as he touched them with his hands, he could feel that the material was high-quality cotton, absolutely not comparable to the tattered hemp on his own body.

  "What! One piece per person? This is too wasteful, if sold, these are all money!" As a noble, one must have a keen business sense, even if they don't do business themselves, it's better than being cheated. So the legendary brainless nobles aren't nonexistent, but absolutely rare.

  "No! Not a single one is wasted, these are all my people, and in the future they will all create wealth for me, so this counts as an investment in advance. Go ahead, I'll leave it to you to take charge of distributing them."

  This little bit of money was nothing to Li You Ran, but for people like Zige from other worlds, it was a lifesaver. Who knew how many people didn't wake up after falling asleep during the Long Winter, either dying from carbon monoxide poisoning or freezing to death? The Long Winter was a trial by death for the poor and serfs.

  "Right! And there are these quilts, two for each family, take them."

  The heavenly voice made Zig kneel down and say: "Sir! You are really too kind, please forgive me! Forgive your servant for making a decision on his own initiative."

  Zieg, who had been thinking of hiding the refugees' situation all along, couldn't bear it anymore. With such a kind master, what's there to hide?

  "What kind of arbitrary decision is this?" Li You Ran frowned and asked, this was not a good sign.
