Chapter 997: No Mercy! (Supplement 2)【4】

In the bedroom, water mist curled.

A large round wooden barrel filled with hot water was placed in the hall outside the bedroom.

Charcoal fires for warmth were also lit in the copper basins around.

The night was slightly cool.

But the room was as warm as spring.

Water flowing with fragrance and heat washed over Duan Yu's sturdy back from the water ladle in the maid's hand.

Since being injured, Duan Yu had not taken a bath for a long time.

He could only wipe his body simply every day.

But this morning, after activating the 【Automatic Healing】 entry, Duan Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that the wounds on his body had all scabbed and healed.

Therefore, when he came to Zhen Jiang's room, he couldn't wait to tell the maid to prepare hot water for bathing.

Two maids slowly poured hot water over Duan Yu's sturdy shoulders.

And Zhen Jiang, with light makeup, had a translucent white thin gauze draped over her shoulders, and the underwear on her chest wrapped her fair body; when squeezed against the edge of the wooden barrel, the deep cleavage was fascinating.

Zhen Jiang, with gentle movements, helped Duan Yu scrub his back.

"Husband, today this concubine went to the Weaving Bureau outside the city and looked at the cloth woven recently," Zhen Jiang said softly.

Duan Yu, with a white silk cloth on his face, leaned against the edge of the wooden barrel and gave a light 'en.'

"What are your thoughts on the sales of these fabrics?" Duan Yu asked.

"This concubine has some immature suggestions; I don't know if I should say them or not."

Duan Yu reached out and took the silk cloth off his face, looked up at Zhen Jiang's beautiful face, and smiled slightly.

"When it comes to business, you are the professional, Madam. Just say it."

Duan Yu's compliment made Zhen Jiang's face shy and rosy.

"Husband, these silkworms harvested from the Qiang tribe are the best silkworms this concubine has seen in recent years."

"This concubine heard that this silkworm seed was cultivated by you, and it might be related to this. This concubine also looked at the silkworm seeds, and they are indeed different from what this concubine has seen in the past."

"And the silk woven from these silkworms is also much better than what is on the market."

"Just ordinary silk can reach the level of fine silk from Sichuan."

Duan Yu nodded; this was true.

The price of ordinary silk on the market is roughly between 1,000 and 1,200 coins.

And what is better than silk is white silk, with a price of about 1,500 coins.

As for the price of fine silk, it is expensive, usually double that of ordinary silk.

Of course, there is also the cheapest, hemp cloth used by ordinary people for clothing.

The price of hemp cloth is about 500 coins.

And the vast majority of ordinary people's homes will not have a piece of clothing made of white silk in their lifetime.

Only middle-class families might have one or two pieces.

And these clothes made of white silk, or even fine silk, are only worn by gentry, powerful families, and local big clans.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei occupied the Bashu region, and most of the main military expenditures came from the sale of cloth and silk.

And in this era, cloth can be used directly as money; even in places like Liangzhou, cloth and silk are more direct than money. ===== CHAPTER 999 =====
