Xiao Ming remained silent, reading the content carefully again, and finally took out the page of the medicine list. She threw the rest into the burning charcoal basin and watched the writing on it being burned by the charcoal fire. Burning, the letter slowly turned into ashes, and was finally taken out and dumped by the pear with a crispy date in its mouth.
After emptying the carbon basin, Xiao Ming asked Li'er to invite Jiang Sihai to discuss the transportation of supplies to the northwest.
Jiang Sihai's Sihai escort agency was on the same street as Xinglin. Not long after Li'er left, she jumped back, and the person following behind him was Jiang Sihai.
Nowadays, there are many bodyguards under Jiang Sihai, and he no longer needs to personally guard the bodyguards. Even the locks of the Sihai Bodyguard Agency are taken care of by his third brother Zhuang Ming, so he is very free.
The business is booming, and the head of one of Otsutsuka's escort agencies is not in charge of the agency, but at home, caring for his wife and son, and living a happy life.
Liu Yue was blessed again this month, and he was very happy.
People are in high spirits during happy events. When Jiang Sihai came in, he had a smile on his face and said: "This time the capital of Huijin is dead, and the war will be over soon."
Sure enough, whether they are traffickers and pawns or wealthy gentry, war is closely related to them.
Jiang Sihai came over and sat down. Xiao Ming prepared tea and poured it for him personally, and asked him about Liu Yue's physical condition these days.
Jiang Sihai took a sip of tea and then said: "It's not good. I have no energy all day long and can't eat enough. I have lost a lot of weight these days."
He was very worried. When he was pregnant with the eldest brother Jiang Tianci, although Liu Yue's body was weak, it was not as unbearable as it is now. If it was like this again, he would suspect that the child was here to collect debts. The enthusiasm is almost exhausted.
"Symptoms during pregnancy are different, and the weather is hot. Naturally, I can't eat anymore and I'm tired of it. I'll find our Pingcheng cook to make some local delicacies for my sister to try. She'll be fine after the first three months. I'll go over to see her later. ." Xiao Ming said, suggesting ways to improve her condition. Liu Yue was also pregnant, but she was not in any condition. She could eat and sleep, just like normal.
Everyone reacts differently, which is also related to the strength of the body.
"This is a good idea. I'll look for a cook from Pingcheng when I get back. If not, I'll go back to Pingcheng and hire one. But you'd better go see your sister later."
Xiao Ming naturally agreed.
The two talked about the war in the northwest again and learned that Shi Tingyu had plans to regain the remaining eight tribes. Jiang Sihai was very excited after hearing this. The foreign tribes outside the Northwest Pass had a vast territory and were very rich in medicine, fur, dried meat, etc. Not bad.
If it can be successfully included in the territory of the Great Moon Dynasty this time, that would be great! It can be regarded as a great achievement. You must know that the Holy Ancestor Emperor did not do it back then. He just beat the foreigners out severely.
Jiang Sihai sighed to himself. Although he had made a lot of money in the past few years and left enough wealth for future generations to spend a lifetime, compared to Shi Tingyu's huge contribution, his little things were really not worth it. carry.
"In terms of materials, we just need to send another batch of medicines. As for the food and grass, we won't need it. I think the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War are very willing to send food, grass and weapons." Xiao Ming said, this time she saved a lot of money. Money, you have to know that she and Jiang Sihai have sent military supplies three times in the past few years. Chaoyan refused to give them anything, gave them insufficiently, gave little, and cried about poverty every day, forcing the Northwest Army to find a way to grow their own food. , using the seeds she sent over, the yield is high, so that the supplies in the northwest can be relieved and the war can continue.
In addition, Shi Tingyu also secretly dug a silver mine in the northwest to make weapons, potassium armor, and provide for himself. This matter is a secret, and even Liu Ce didn't find out half of it.
If it weren't for the fact that the medicine Xiao Ming developed into pills was really good, convenient, quick-acting, easy to carry, and very suitable for marching and fighting, she wouldn't have given it away anymore.
"It's a benefit to the imperial court's grandsons." Jiang Sihai said bitterly.
Why doesn't he hate it? This time it was a great achievement, and the people in the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War would never complain about poverty again. I am afraid that I will give away my family wealth at the risk of my life, but I will give away good things, give away a lot, and give away quickly, all wanting to get a share of the pie when merit is rewarded.
They stay far away when they are really doing their best, but they gather around when they are sharing their results. They are like a group of vultures that are looking for meat, making no contribution and just waiting to drink blood and eat meat.
His heart was black, and his whole body exuded a rotten smell.
This is very similar to life. When you work hard and think hard, he is drinking tea and chatting leisurely. When you stay up late and work hard, he is sleeping. When you receive the credit, he is standing in front of you...
It makes people angry and hateful, and there is nothing you can do about him.
"Whenever we leave, I will immediately arrange for the bodyguard to be transported." Although he was dissatisfied with some people in the court, Jiang Sihai still gave Xiao Ming the greatest support.
When they were in Pingcheng, Shi Tingyu sent people to deliver medicines. After they came to the capital, the pharmacy also moved here. Xiao Ming chose a farm outside the city to set up as a pharmaceutical point, and transported medicines at Liu Ce was under his nose. In order to prevent accidents, Xiao Ming asked Jiang Sihai to escort him there. After all, Xiao Ming's medicine was unique in the Dayue Dynasty. Many places across the country came to buy it and asked escorts to escort it. When we go back, the medicine sent to the northwest will be mixed in and will not arouse suspicion.
"I'll go to the pharmacy outside the city to make arrangements tomorrow. Let's set off the day after tomorrow. The sooner the better." Xiao Ming said. Medicines are always in stock. In the pharmacy outside the city, Jinyan and more than a dozen workers are working non-stop every day. The production is rushed, and large quantities of medicines are produced every day.
"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements right away." Jiang Sihai said, and he also stood up. This matter must be prepared very early. When the medicine goes to the northwest, it must be mixed with other goods and sent there, otherwise who knows what will happen along the way. What an accident it is not.
In order to deliver the medicine, he had to prepare a batch of goods.
After sending Jiang Sihai away, Xiao Ming sat at the desk by the window and rewrote the prescription. Now, except for Xinglin and the medicine store outside the city, everything else in the Xiao family has been handed over to Xiao Han.
Different from Shi Tingyu's resolute and sharp pen, Xiao Ming's writing is in elegant small regular script. This was taught by her grandfather in the previous life, who personally held her hand and taught her one stroke at a time.
The sound of people moving around in the front yard came intermittently, and then gradually faded away. When it reached Xiao Ming's ears, only a low buzzing sound was left, making it inaudible and chaotic.
The wind came from the sky and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground. The fallen leaves flew and danced in the sunshine. The wind blew the curtains, and the off-white curtains made a gauze sound. A strand of playful long hair beside Xiao Ming's ears seemed to be disobedient. As her words danced with the wind, Xiao Ming wrote quietly, word after word, writing with concentration and a steady gaze. Nothing external could refute her mind.
The years are quiet and peaceful.
