Chapter 398
Li Zhihao was silent, thinking about it over and over, both ideas would put his niece in danger. Of course, he didn't want his niece to go to such a far place. The journey was long and the trip was not a day's journey, it could take several days or months.
Ye Shiqi convinced Li Zhihao that she should change into men's clothes when traveling. _o_m
Li Zhihao's persuasion was ineffective and he could only wait for the old housekeeper to return and make plans then.
Ye Shiqi began to prepare for the trip to the border town.
For border officers in distant places, where there may be a shortage of medicinal materials, where there are many wars, or where foreign enemies are always harassing them, they will use more wound medicine.
Ye Shiqi thought of her past life, where medical equipment was advanced and more medicines were needed. Medicines with traditional Chinese medicine ingredients would also be made into granules, which would be absorbed faster by the wounded or sick.
For example, some anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibody drugs, and drugs for some important diseases all require prescriptions.
Among the prescriptions Ye Shiqi got from the king, there were prescriptions for anti-inflammatory drugs, healing drugs, and anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, some plague medicines only had prescription lists but no medicinal materials.
Another example is the strong wind and sand in the desert, which makes the skin of both men and women more likely to crack.
She had to develop some skin care products specially for soldiers and their families.
For example, skin care products made from fats look like lard and have some anti-explosion properties.
In places where there is strong wind and sand, and it is extremely cold when the weather is cold, those people may stay at home during the winter, sleeping and sitting in pits.
But the soldiers can't. They have to go on patrol. Maybe the enemy will take advantage of the wind and sand to enter when the wind and snow are heavy.
The soldiers may be ambushing in the snow. They have to endure no matter how cold the weather is. They will not be cold, but hungry.
Ye Shiqi asked Li Zhihao to arrange for people to buy cotton and various medicinal materials from a pharmacy. The medicinal materials purchased were a bit messy, making it difficult to figure out what they were going to do.
She guessed that every move at home would be monitored by someone. If she was afraid of being monitored and did nothing, that would not work.
Are they staying at home honestly and no one is watching to see what's going on?
Not necessarily, the old housekeeper had already told them that someone had been watching and watching at home. What they had been doing at home a few days ago, someone also sneaked in at night.
They were aware of the hidden guards in the Ye Mansion and did not alert the people who entered the house to visit. They wanted to see what these people were doing and pretended not to know anything to make them relax their vigilance.
Ye Shiqi arranged for her sisters to take the cotton they bought and ordered all the maids and women in the family who knew how to make women to make cotton-padded clothes, shoes and socks, in addition to daily work and laundry.
Ye Luoqi, who was going to make a wedding dress, also put down what she was doing, and together with her two other sisters, she led them to make clothes, shoes, gloves, socks, and hats.
Even for quilts, if you want to make more than one quilt, you need to buy not only cotton, but also ordinary coarse fabrics to make quilts.
Buying cotton, cloth, and medicinal materials costs a lot of money.
Ye Shiqi felt that the money was spent too fast. She had not made any money yet, but she had spent so much money.
Ye Shiqi is no longer worried about not being able to repay the 20,000 taels of silver at this moment. She is worried that she won't have enough space to pack the finished quilts and items. If she sends them by car, it will inevitably attract other people's attention...

If you buy so many things and put them at home, others will monitor the purpose of putting these things here, whether they are for sale or for other uses.
After Ye Shiqi made a lot of quilts, she gave Li Zhihao an idea. There was so much furniture in that warehouse, and the store selling furniture couldn't just sell furniture.
You can put some bedding and quilts there to sell, and others may not be so suspicious of them.
…
In the splendid palace, the emperor's study and residence were the most luxurious. He sat in his study and corrected memorials.
A spy came in from outside the study. When he came in, he knelt down and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Ye Mansion has been making big moves recently."
"Say, what did they do?" The Emperor Toudu. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Spies from all sides
Don’t lift it!
"Your Majesty, they bought a lot of medicinal materials, as well as a lot of cotton and cloth. What's even more strange is that what they did was the old butler who escorted the new owner to his hometown in the past two days."
The spies' words made the emperor's hands tremble: "Continue to monitor and see what tricks they are playing!"
"Yes" the spy walked out.
When the emperor was correcting the article, he had already thought of something in his mind. The old housekeeper had not done nothing in these years, secretly sending food and some supplies to the border towns.
As an emperor, how could he not know and just turn a blind eye? He was wary of General Ye's strength and relied on him and those soldiers to maintain peace at the border.
Invasion by foreign enemies is no joke, and it may cause catastrophe if you are not careful.
There is not just one border crossing, it can be said that it is besieged on all sides.
The emperor was under greater pressure after his sons grew up. He began to grow old and his energy was not as good, so he needed the loyalty of his ministers even more.
…
"Prince 13, the Ye family has made another move!"
Zhao Yufei was dancing with his sword in the garden, and the guards brought Ye Haoxuan in from outside.
When Prince 13 stopped practicing his sword skills, the guards saluted and reported.
Zhao Yufei waved to Ye Haoxuan and led the guards into the study.
There are future spies in his prince's mansion, just like there are spies he sends out in other prince's mansions.
Entering the study, Zhao Yufei and Ye Haoxuan sat on chairs, listening to the spies' report.
"Is there anyone in the Ye family who knows medical skills?"
Zhao Yufei asked this question.
The spy shook his head and said: "My subordinates found out that there are no doctors in the Ye family's house, and the few daughters of the Ye family are not skilled in medicine."
"Then they bought so much cotton fabric to make quilts?" Ye Haoxuan also asked this question.
"Currently, I only know that the medicinal materials were bought and put in the warehouse. As for the cotton and fabrics, it seems that the women in the house are making clothes and quilts."
Zhao Yufei could already guess something after listening to the spies' words.
"Are they taking advantage of the coming winter to send supplies to distant border towns?"
Ye Haoxuan nodded and said: "There is a possibility that the good steward is not doing this but the steward who will come down is. Does he want to make a windfall?"
Zhao Yufei nodded and said, "It's possible that they owed debts when buying houses and shops. They may have made this deal in order to pay off the debts within these three months."
Ye Haoxuan also nodded: "There are so many pairs of eyes in the capital looking at me, and they all want to win over me. What do you think, Prince 13?"
"It's not difficult if we can move it with money. Besides, tens of thousands of taels of silver is just drizzle to us!"
After Zhao Yufei said this, he gave the guard a look, which meant spending money to help the Ye family get supplies.
