Hearing Bubble's slightly disappointed tone, Lin Jiuyue smiled awkwardly.
"Bubbles, this isn't how it's measured. Didn't I just say that? We have to have compassion..."
Lin Jiuyue was interrupted by Bubble before she could finish her words.
"Master, just tell me who you're going to sell this medicine to!"
Lin Jiuyue opened her mouth.
Qiye asked for help, wanting 'some' medicine to treat external injuries for use in the army.
But now that the military has such a large population, we don't know how much medicine we'll need in the future. If I have the ability, I'll definitely prepare more.
As for the price, it certainly won’t be sold at a very high price.
He was in Nanyue and his younger brother Qiye was in the army, so he was hoping that Nanyue would win the war.
"Haha, this medicine for external injuries is going to be shipped to the army. Now that the South Vietnam has gone to war, the national treasury certainly doesn't have that much silver to buy medicine. We also need to seek the protection of the South Vietnam, so the cheaper the better."
Bubble looked at Lin Jiuyue speechlessly.
"Master, what does the war in Nanyue have to do with a time traveler like you? You've only been here for over half a year. Could it be that you've developed feelings for this place?"
"Also, you have a space. The safety factor of that space is more than ten thousand times higher than that of Nanyue. Why do you need to seek protection from Nanyue?"
Lin Jiuyue sighed.
"Alas, I know this batch of medicine might not fetch much money. But the lives of those soldiers on the battlefield are also lives. We can't just stand by and watch them die, can we?"
Bubble looked at Lin Jiuyue as if she were a monster.
"That's not right, Master. When you were fleeing the famine, you encountered many poor people. At that time, you said it was better to mind your own business. Why are you meddling in these matters now?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Don't ask so many questions. Just tell me whether you will refine the medicine or not! If you don't help me refine the medicine, I will do it myself. However, if I refine the medicine myself, I won't have time to sell the food in the space."
Bubble: ...
Threat, threat! This is definitely a threat!
"Hmph, Master, you only know how to bully me."
Lin Jiuyue lowered her head feeling a little guilty.
Medicinal herbs are grown and harvested by bubbles, and medicines for external injuries are also refined by bubbles.
Now that I ask for so much right away, it does seem like I'm bullying.
"Bubbles, just help your master. I will definitely not forget your kindness."
After hesitating for a while, Bubble finally agreed.
"Okay, but I can't guarantee how much."
Lin Jiuyue clasped her hands together and kept saying nice things.
"Bubbles, you're so kind. It doesn't matter how many pills you have, just try your best."
After communicating with Paopao, Xiyue came over with breakfast.
Lin Jiuyue quickly finished her breakfast, got on a carriage and went to the grain store in the town.
"Uncle Li, how much food is left in the shop?"
"Miss, all the food in the shop combined is estimated to be around 50,000 kilograms, and there are around 100,000 kilograms in the warehouse."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
A total of about 150,000 kilograms of food, including coarse grains, rice, noodles, etc. If all of it were to be transported to the border, it would probably require quite a few people to do it.
I could sell this grain to Gu Chengyan and the others, but I don’t have enough manpower to transport it to the border.
"Uncle Li, please close the shop and stop selling this grain. I'll have other uses for it later."
Uncle Li looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
Many grain stores are short of food now, and only our own grain store still has so much food in stock. Business is booming right now, so why did the lady close the store just like that?
"Miss, are we closing now? Our business is much better than before."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"There's nothing I can do about the good business. I have other uses for this grain. Please close the shop door first."
Uncle Li opened his mouth, but swallowed the words he wanted to use to persuade Lin Jiuyue.
"Yes, miss."
He took the other shop assistants with him and closed the shop door in no time.
When Lin Jiuyue saw the shop door closed, she began to give orders.
"Uncle Li, take Lai Fu and Lai Cai with you to pack up the grain in the shop, and then close the door. This grain is very useful and cannot be lost."
Uncle Li became alert when he saw that Lin Jiuyue was speaking so seriously.
"Miss, what happened?"
Besides Uncle Li, the only two people left in the shop were Lai Fu and Lai Cai. These were servants he had hired, so he wasn't afraid of hearing about it. "There's a war at the border, and food and medicine are in short supply."
"I don't have any medicinal herbs here, so I can only get some food and pills, and then transport them to the border."
Uncle Li: ...
Could it be that my young lady is thinking of sending all this food to the soldiers at the border?
"Miss, are you planning to send all this food to the border?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Well, they're all sent to the border. The soldiers are fighting there, but they can't even get enough food. They don't have much strength left, so how can they fight? Aren't they just sending their heads to the enemy?"
Lin Jiuyue didn't know what the situation was like at the border, but she occasionally received letters from Qiye, and knew that the people fighting at the front were Gu Chengyan and his son and their soldiers.
Uncle Li didn't say anything.
Without a country, there is no home. Uncle Li had lived in a wealthy family before, so he understood this principle.
"Miss, I will take people to pack the unpacked food later."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Put the food in order first, and then I'll find someone to deliver it to the border."
The food problem is easy to solve. It doesn’t have to be so troublesome to send it to the border.
But in order to prevent the space from being exposed, Lin Jiuyue still planned to find someone to send it to the border.
"Yes, miss."
There wasn't much food left to be unpacked, so Uncle Li, Lai Fu and Lai Cai packed it up quickly.
Now the person who transported the food has not been found yet, and Lin Jiuyue does not dare to move the food around.
"Uncle Li, I'd like to trouble you to stay in the shop for the next few days while the grain is not shipped out. It's really hard work. After the grain is shipped out, I will give you two days off so you can have a good rest."
After hearing this, Uncle Li quickly waved his hands.
"Miss, no, no, we are all servants, how can we have a holiday? Miss has been very good to us servants, we can't be lazy anymore."
Uncle Li was very satisfied with his current life. He even felt that his life was better than that of many other families.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
These servants in ancient times were too easily satisfied.
I work hard every day, but I still feel like I'm living a good life!
If this happened in the 21st century, with people working thirty days a month, and it was like this every month, I guess work would drive those people crazy.
