Zhurou

Chapter 95 Buying
From the perspective of Jingzhao Mansion, Di Bing didn't take this route when he went south, it was all due to the deterrence of the battles in the northwest.

Fengxiang, Qingyang, and especially Yanzhou, because they are adjacent to Xiping and Xingqing, were often plundered by Di thieves.

He was bullied and humiliated in the past, but once he had the strength to fight back, and knew that if he couldn't hurt the opponent, he would be the one who suffered in the future, so naturally he had the strongest fighting spirit.

Mu Xiang said: "I was born in Yanzhou. I used to have ten rooms and nine empties. If Pei Jiedu hadn't sent troops to station here, when Di Bandit went south this time, I'm afraid that the city would be massacred again like decades ago..."

"It's useless to show weakness without destroying them. In the past few decades, they have always been seeking peace and showing weakness, but they are not at all useful. They should be robbed and killed. The first one is to fight Yanzhou."

"In Di thief's view, Jin people are like the chickens and ducks raised in their own yard. When they are hungry, they catch one to kill and eat. Then stop eating?"

"Could it be that if the chickens and ducks don't crow, Di Thief won't be hungry?"

"Only when chickens and ducks turn into tigers and wolves, and bite those thieves to death, will they know that they have to detour in the future."

Hearing Mu Xiang's words, Zhao Mingzhi smiled wryly in his heart.

This reason, don't the two governments understand?

Naturally impossible.

It's just that once you think about luck, and then think about weighing, but everyone is watching the fire from the other side, it will naturally become irrelevant.

Zhao Mingzhi also asked Yushi Zhongcheng Yang Ting why the Di thief burned, killed and looted so much. The court never took a tough line, and they just blindly begged for peace.

Yang Ting told her that the Di thief cavalry came and went like the wind, and they could defend against one place at a time, but how could they defend against it for a long time?

Yanzhou has been stationed for several years, the people are exhausted and the soldiers are burning silver and copper every day.

Soldiers, pull one hair and move the whole body.

Naturally, the imperial court considers the overall situation, and it is impossible to drag down the overall situation because of Yanzhou.

If we really want to go to war with the western thieves, even if we only deploy [-] troops, at least [-] militiamen will be used to transport food and supplies. Moreover, once we get into the quagmire of fighting with the Di people, it will not only be a matter of one or two cities on the border, but also in the northwest. Even deeper in the hinterland, I don't know how many years it will be in dire straits.

At that time, bravery will be confiscated every year, no one will cultivate the fields, and no one will take the rest of the corvee.

Losing some face and spending some money, if you can barely settle down, it's better than fighting.

"The so-called patience for the country is just like that."

It's just enough to bear it for a while. The court has no long-term plan and no way to deal with it, but it tells the Di people to raise their appetites more and more. As for the invasion of troops, the massacre of the people and the kidnapping of the emperor.

Although he only stayed in Jingzhao Mansion for a few days, after listening to the words for a long time, even Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help secretly thinking: Aside from mentioning Pei Yong, the Zhao family really has a guilty conscience about this northwest land.

At this moment, it is meaningless to dwell on the past, and it is serious to look forward.

After receiving a letter from someone sent by Li Xun, he learned that he would have a chance to meet Liao Mian in one or two days, or two or three days later, so Zhao Mingzhi started making preparations without delay.

This time she was dealing with the Western Army by borrowing medicinal materials, and besides, she had promised Second Brother Li earlier that she would help him set up the pill business at home. To make increases or decreases, send people in several groups, first to ask various drugstores, secondly to ask various drug dealers, and thirdly to ask various drug shops to learn about the ingredients and prices of the medicines.

In addition, people asked about the materials and labor costs of building their own workshops, how to hire a pharmacist in the future, etc., and asked about the prices of other equivalent pills in the city, as well as the sales situation.

All of a sudden, he instructed the more than ten new arrivals from the other courtyard to keep their feet from touching the ground.

At the end of the day, when the person she appointed to report the situation in the evening reported all the progress, Zhao Mingzhi asked for half an hour, wrote down his questions one by one, and made new arrangements.

By the time the three groups of people were ordered to leave, it was already midnight, but no one showed any signs of impatience.

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help but praise in his heart.

She thought that since she was new here and she was a stranger, she would probably be perfunctory, maybe she would have to use some ability to subdue the crowd so that she could command, and then she would get down to business.

But at the end of the day, I can see that everyone is working together, each contributes to their strengths, no one is holding back, and everyone has their own magic tricks. When things are done, what they explain is done, and what they don’t explain, they also help a lot. It was a surprise.

Is this the temperament of people in Northwest China all the time, or is it that Second Brother Li's subordinates are like him, and everyone is more reliable?
Although I don't know why, it undoubtedly saves her a lot of effort.

Zhao Mingzhi secretly praised those servants, and the group on the other side were also discussing her.

When they were in the house, none of them said a word of nonsense, and they didn't make any inquiries, but when they got out, they gathered around to talk.

"Where did Miss Zhao appear? In the morning, I heard that she was going to work here. I was taken aback. I thought there was something wrong with my ears. When I saw a woman with my own eyes in the morning, I rubbed myself again. It takes two rolls of the eyeballs to dare to believe it——Does that really mean the head of the house?"

"I'm also shocked, the hands and feet of the master... tsk!"

"What's the matter, why can't I understand what one or two of you said?" An honest person couldn't help but interjected, "It may not be what you think, maybe it's just a chance encounter on the road, a leader, and the head of the family. Are there fewer people saved in the past?"

As soon as these words came out, seven or eight people around looked at him with disdain at the same time.

The man only felt guilty, couldn't help touching his nose and said: "Why, what did I say wrong?"

Someone said to him earnestly: "Old Cen, think about it, if it's really just a chance rescue, as in the past, send it to the escort agency for people to watch and arrange, it's all right, why do you have to send it specially?" To this other courtyard? You must know that this place has always been the place where the head of the family stays, and you may not even know about it if you are not a confidant."

"Furthermore, even if it is sent here, do you still have to invite us brothers to come and help? Do you remember what the head of the escort told you? You are so nervous, you have never been so careful when you went out to run the life-threatening darts before!"

"If you say there are no ghosts in it, I don't believe it!"

After the man finished speaking, another person continued: "That's not counting, the many prescriptions in charge have only been used by our own bodyguard agency. The last time Zheng'antang took [-] gold and posted two good soup prescriptions. Buying a pair of traumatic medicine plasters, and specifically asked Yan Yanlu to accept the matter, but the head of the family didn't even bother to talk about it, saying it was a secret recipe, and it would never be passed on, so he immediately refused."

"If the eunuch finds out, all the prescriptions for pills are neatly packed in the hands of Miss Zhao, whom I have just met, and I don't know how angry I am!"

"One eunuch at a time, be careful what you say, let the head of the family hear it!"

"Am I wrong? These officials from the imperial court, apart from making trouble and making trouble, have done a lot of bad things, and never done good things..."

"Okay, okay! Seriously, don't drag it over there—Old Cen, it's no wonder that you are still a bachelor at this age. The head of the family is so obvious, are you still dreaming?"

"Stop rambling, there are so many things to do tomorrow, it's best to do it beautifully, so as not to drag you down!"

Naturally, Zhao Mingzhi didn't know what happened afterwards, so early the next morning, because he wanted to see Liao Mian, he had to bring some etiquette, so he went out with Mu Xiang.

She was going to find some shops to buy gifts, and also prepare some medicinal materials by herself. Although it is inconvenient at this time, after a while, she should wash off the black warts on half of her face, and also decoct the medicine. Change back to your original skin color.
