Chapter 288 If it doesn't work, sell the shop
Just as Shen Yiyi was about to lead everyone into the mountains, Lao Wu from the Huotou Camp came running over in a hurry.
"Miss Shen."
"Huh?" Shen Yiyi turned around and saw that it was Lao Wu, so she turned around and walked back.
"What's the matter?"
"Miss Shen, could you spare some time today to help us catch some fish?" Maybe because he ran too fast, Lao Wu was a little out of breath.
"Fishing?" Shen Yiyi was stunned and stared at Lao Wu. It seemed that he was greedy for fish.
"Yes, Miss Shen, I want you to help me get some more fish. We have too many wounded and want to replenish everyone."
Lao Wu looked at Shen Yiyi with pleading eyes and pointed at the tents of the wounded.
Although they are not hungry now, there were so many injured yesterday. If they could eat something good, they would probably recover faster.
Following the direction of his finger, Shen Yiyi also looked at the tents and seemed to understand what he meant.
"Okay, then wait until we come back from collecting herbs."
The first thing they need to solve right now is the problem of medicinal materials. They have to get back a batch of medicine first.
Find some time to go fishing in the mountains. It won’t make a big difference for one or two meals anyway.
"Okay, okay, okay. Thank you for the trouble, Miss Shen." Lao Wu looked at Shen Yiyi gratefully.
I also know that the Crown Princess has important things to do, so it's already very good that she agreed.
Just as Shen Yiyi was about to lead everyone out, Kuangfeng came up to them with his butt twisted.
He tilted his neck to look at Shen Yiyi and kept wagging his tail. It was obvious that he wanted to follow her. Shen Yiyi smiled and stroked his head.
"Let's go!"
Originally, she was not very interested in animals, but after coming into contact with this little thing, she began to like it.
I was very happy to see that he wanted to follow me, so I took him with me to relieve my boredom.
As if he understood her words, Kuangfeng wagged his tail faster, twisted his big butt, and rushed straight to the front.
Seeing them walk out of the military camp, Shang Zhanchen looked at Jiang You beside him.
"Gather everyone to the big tent for discussion."
Soon, more than a dozen deputy generals were summoned. Seeing that everyone was present, General Su looked at Shang Zhanchen.
"Prince, how about we ask the court for support?"
Now the soldiers' armor is in tatters and can no longer provide any protection.
Even the clothes he was wearing were in tatters. If he didn't change them quickly, he would have nothing to wear.
If war breaks out again, lives will be in danger. Now we can only ask the court for help.
Although the other deputy generals did not speak, it was clear from their expressions that they had the same idea as General Su.
After all, the soldiers’ clothes are no longer covering their bodies, so if it were like before, it would be understandable that there were no women in the military camp.
Now the Crown Princess is in the military camp, and it is not decent to let the soldiers wear clothes that are not enough to cover their bodies.
“…………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
His brows were tightly furrowed. How could he not know these things? But he knew better than anyone whether there was silver in the treasury.
The last time he went to Lingnan, he had taken all the funds in the national treasury with him.
There is no money left to buy new armor and clothes for the soldiers, even if I report this to my father.
He had no other choice, which only increased his worries and made him unable to sleep or eat.
This war has already made him worried enough. If he were to worry about this matter again, how would his father's body bear it?
But what General Su and his men said was right, the soldiers' armor and clothes had to be changed.
After thinking it over again and again, he turned and looked at Jiang You.
"How much do I have left in my private vault?"
Now that the national treasury is empty, we can only take from our own private treasury, but we don’t know how much is left.
"Master, there isn't much left in your private storehouse. I'm afraid it's not enough to replace everyone's armor." Jiang You frowned tightly.
There was a food shortage some time ago, and the master had to empty his private treasury to buy expensive food. Now there is not much left.
“…………” Shang Zhanchen’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Jiang You again.
"Take a look at the shops under my name and see which one is easier to sell. Sell some first."
Since there is not enough money in the private treasury, I can only temporarily sell some of the shops under my name.
Although this is not a wise move, it can at least solve the urgent problem. We cannot let the soldiers be without even clothes to wear.
"But those shops you still..." Jiang You was interrupted by Shang Zhanchen before he could finish his words.
"Go and collect the statistics first."
He also knew what Jiang You was thinking. After all, those shops were doing well.
But one has to prioritize, and right now the soldiers' armor has to be changed. Although he still had something to say, Jiang You shut up when he saw that his master had made up his mind.
"Yes." He turned and walked out.
“…………”Everyone frowned.
The prince was even going to sell his shop for the sake of his soldiers, and he felt really guilty and touched.
Although I feel reluctant, there is no good way to solve the problem at the moment. I can't let the soldiers go naked.
Shen Yiyi didn't know that Shang Zhanchen and his team were currently racking their brains to come up with a solution for the soldiers' clothes and armor.
Leading the strong wind, he took 10,000 soldiers and rushed to another direction. The reason why he brought 5,000 more people today was because of Shang Zhanchen's request.
The main reason is that there are not many medicines left. If we send more people, we can also collect more medicinal materials.
By then, we will be able to produce more finished medicines, but in order to avoid sneak attacks by the Tiansheng Army, we dare not send too many people over.
However, these people were already a lot for Shen Yiyi. Standing in the front, she could not even see the end of the team.
She was very excited, as she could collect more herbs to bring back. As she walked, she taught everyone about herbs.
They didn't stop until they were deep into the mountains, letting the newcomers take the antidote powder.
Shen Yiyi divided them into different directions and let the old men lead them, even though she already knew what would happen next.
But when they saw those poisonous insects swarming out of the soil, they were still shocked and opened their mouths wide.
Fortunately, there were old people guiding me and I quickly adapted.
Asking them to divide into groups to deal with the poisonous insects, it seemed that she was no longer needed, so Shen Yiyi found a flat stone and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Doctor Sun came over with his big notebook in his arms.
"Master, there are two herbs in the last recipe that you haven't mentioned yet."
It was a good opportunity that he could take advantage of the fact that the Crown Princess was free right now and learn more things quickly, otherwise his master would be unreliable.
"Oh, okay." Shen Yiyi didn't refuse.
After all, she really had nothing to do at the moment, so she might as well give him a lesson.
"These two kinds of poisonous insects are quite special. They can counteract each other, or they can merge into another kind of poison..."
She began to explain carefully to Dr. Sun, who usually seemed very lively.
When it comes to getting down to business, he is quite serious, especially in this aspect, he is extremely careful.
The toxicity, ratio and dosage of each medicinal ingredient are described in great detail.
Doctor Sun listened very carefully, and for fear of forgetting, he wrote it down in a big notebook.
One of them was speaking seriously, and the other was remembering carefully, and neither of them noticed the changes around them.
