The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 399
Li Zhihao was silent, thinking about it, two kinds of thinking would put his niece in danger, of course he didn't want his niece to go to such a far away place, the journey is so far away, it's not a day's journey, it may take days or months.

Ye Shiqi persuaded Li Zhihao that she should change into men's clothes for the trip.

Li Zhihao's persuasion was ineffective, and he could only wait for the old housekeeper to return, and then make plans at that time.

Ye Shiqi began to prepare for the trip to the border town.

Soldiers in distant border areas may lack medicinal materials, where there are many wars, or where foreign enemies are always harassing, they will use more wound medicine.

Ye Shiqi recalled her past life, with advanced medical equipment, more medicines were used, and the medicines with traditional Chinese medicine ingredients would also be made into granules, and the wounded or sick would absorb them faster.

For example, some anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics, antibody drugs, and drugs for some important diseases all require prescriptions.

Among the prescriptions that Ye Shiqi got from the king, there were prescriptions for anesthetics, healing medicines, and anti-inflammatory medicines. For example, some plague medicines only had prescriptions and no ingredients.

Another example is that the wind and sand in the desert are strong, and the skin of both men and women is easier to crack.

She has to develop some skin care products, which are specially given to soldiers and their families.

For example, skin care products made from fat-raising look like lard and have a bit of anti-explosion function.

In places with strong wind and sand, the weather is very cold, and those people may stay at home in winter, sleeping and sitting in the pit.

But the soldiers can't, they have to go on patrol, maybe the enemy will take advantage of the wind and sand, and enter the country when the wind and snow are heavy.

The soldiers may lie in ambush in the snow, no matter how cold the weather is, they have to endure it, they will not be cold, and they will go hungry.

Ye Shiqi asked Li Zhihao to arrange for someone to buy cotton and buy all kinds of medicinal materials from a pharmacy. The medicinal materials they bought were a bit messy, making it hard to figure out what they were going to do.

She guessed that every move at home would be watched by someone, if she was afraid of being watched and did nothing, that would not work.

Did they stay at home honestly and no one came to watch the situation?
Not necessarily, the old housekeeper had already told them that there were people peeping at the house all the time, what they were doing at home a few days ago, and someone sneaked in at night.

The hidden guards in the Ye Mansion, they were aware of it, and they didn't disturb the people who entered the mansion to visit. They wanted to see what these people were doing, so they pretended not to know anything, so that they could relax their vigilance.

Ye Shiqi arranged for her sisters to put the cotton they bought back into cotton clothes, shoes and socks, and told all the maids in the family who could be female celebrities to make cotton clothes, shoes and socks, except for daily laundry.

Ye Luoqi, who was going to make a wedding dress, also put down what she was doing, and first worked with the other two younger sisters to lead these people to make clothes, shoes, gloves, socks, and hats.

Even for quilts, more than one quilt is made, and not only cotton, but ordinary coarse fabrics also need to buy more coats for quilts.

It costs a lot of money to buy cotton, cloth, and medicinal materials.

Ye Shiqi felt that the money was spent too quickly, and it was not profitable yet, so much money was spent.

Ye Shiqi is no longer worried about not being able to repay the 2 taels of silver. She is worried about the finished quilt and her space for things. If she sends it by car, it will inevitably attract the attention of others.

If you buy so many things and put them at home, others will monitor the purpose of these things, whether they are for sale or for other purposes.

After Ye Shiqi made a lot of quilts, she gave Li Zhihao an idea. There are so many furniture in that warehouse, so furniture shops can't just sell furniture.

You can put some bedding and quilts for sale there, and others may not be so suspicious of them.

……

On the resplendent and magnificent hall, the emperor's study and residence are the most luxurious. He sits in the study and corrects the memorials.

A spy came in from outside the study, knelt down and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Ye Fu has made big moves recently."

"Say, what are they doing?" The emperor didn't even lift his head!
"Your Majesty, they bought a lot of medicinal materials, and bought a lot of cotton and cloth. What's even more strange is that what they did was what the old housekeeper did during the two days when he escorted the new owner to his hometown."

The words of the spies made the emperor's hand stop: "Continue to monitor and see what tricks they play!"

"Yes" the spy went out.

When the emperor was correcting the article, he had already thought of something in his mind. The old butler hadn't done nothing these years, secretly sending food and some supplies to the border town.

As an emperor, how could he not know, he just turned a blind eye, he was wary of General Ye's strength, and relied on this man and those soldiers to maintain the peace at the border.

The invasion of foreign enemies is not a joke, and one carelessness may cause a catastrophe.

There is more than one border, and it can be described as besieged on all sides.

After the emperor's sons grew up, he was under more pressure. He was getting old, his energy was not so good, and he needed the loyalty of some courtiers.

……

"Prince 13, the Ye family has made another move!"

Zhao Yufei was dancing his sword in the garden, and the guards brought Ye Haoxuan in from outside.

When the 13 princes stopped practicing swordsmanship, the guards saluted and reported.

Zhao Yufei waved Ye Haoxuan, and led the guards into the study.

His prince's mansion also has future spies, just like other prince's mansions, there are also spies he sent out.

After entering the study, Zhao Yufei and Ye Haoxuan sat on chairs, listening to the spies' report.

"In the Ye family's mansion, is there anyone who knows how to heal?"

Zhao Yufei asked this question.

The spy shook his head and said: "My subordinates have found out that there is no doctor in the Ye family's mansion, and the few daughters of the Ye family are not good at medicine."

"Then they bought so much cotton fabric to make quilts?" Ye Haoxuan also asked.

"At present, I only know that those medicinal materials were bought and put in the warehouse. As for the cotton and cloth, it seems that the female family members in the house are making clothes and quilts."

After hearing what the spies said, Zhao Yufei could already guess something.

"Are they sending supplies to distant border towns before winter comes?"

Ye Haoxuan nodded and said, "It's possible that the good housekeeper is not doing this but the next steward. Could it be that he wants to make a fortune?"

Zhao Yufei nodded and said, "It's possible that they owed debts to buy houses and shops, and they may be doing this transaction to pay off the debts within three months."

Ye Haoxuan also nodded: "There are so many eyes in the capital, and they all want to win over, what do you think of the thirteenth prince?"

"It's not difficult to be able to move with money, and tens of thousands of taels are just a little rain for us!"

After Zhao Yufei finished speaking, he gave the guard a look, which meant spending money to help the Ye family get supplies.
