If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

In the main hall of the Liu Mansion in Liujia Village, after dinner everyone gathered in the hall drinking tea and talking about what happened today.

"What happened today really shocked me. Although I have always known that war is cruel, I never thought about the family behind every soldier." Situ Yidun said with a depressed mood. He was born into a family of military honors and three generations of his family had been to the battlefield, but today was the first time he directly felt the parents, wives and children behind ordinary soldiers.

"Although our team has been trying its best to provide more help for the war every time, some things are really beyond human control. The man we met on the road today was not the first and will not be the last." Chu Zeming said.

"I travel a lot every year because I'm in business. There are many more tragic situations than what I saw today. This is why our ancestors have been working hard to unify the world. Only by unifying and ending the wars in this land can people live a stable life and avoid more families being separated." Feng Yizheng said after a moment of thought.

Meixiang sat beside them and listened to them quietly. In modern times, she had learned from many people and read a lot in history books. Every progress of the times and change of dynasties was accompanied by a large number of tragedies.

"These are not things we can dominate and decide. What we can do now is to try our best to ensure that these poor ordinary people have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. Let the soldiers go to the battlefield without any worries." Meixiang came back to her senses and said lightly.

"Do you think the thing I talked about with Old Man Luo in Luojia Village today is feasible?"

Meihua saw the beautiful woman and Doctor Wang looking at her with doubtful eyes, so she briefly told them what happened today. After listening, the two also fell silent.

"If the villagers of Luojia Village really have the skills to make use of herbal medicine, it might be a good thing to put their skills to good use." The beautiful woman looked at Meixiang and said, "I think Xiang'er's idea is good, but as for how far it can be done, we can only know after trying it. Aren't you crossing the river by feeling the stones in everything you do now?"

"Mother is right. Since they have the skills, all we need now is to give them another push. The worst outcome will be what it is now. If they succeed, Liuzhou Prefecture will be completely transformed." Xiang'er nodded after hearing the beautiful woman's words.

Chu Zeming, Feng Yizhen and Situ Yidong looked at each other and nodded. Feng Yizhen spoke as a representative, "Sister Xiang'er, we still say the same thing. Since you have decided, we will help you to complete it. But I personally think that having ideas is a good thing, but things still need to be done one by one. Don't rush into things."

Mei Xiang looked at her friends seriously, her eyes slightly reddened: "Thank you for believing in me and supporting me."

"Oh, you are our sister Xiang'er. It would be too polite to thank you. Besides, it is the responsibility of several of us to make Haoyue stronger." Situ Yidong rarely spoke to Meixiang in such a serious tone. "Okay, tell us your specific ideas."

Meixiang sniffed, reorganized her words and said, "If a place wants to become prosperous, it can't rely on its own people alone. It must attract people from outside, just like when Young Master Sun opened a dyeing workshop in Liujia Village. You see, Young Master Sun brought money to Liujia Village to open a dyeing workshop. He needed to rent land in the village, hire villagers to work, and then pay taxes to the government office. Didn't both Liujia Village and the government office benefit?"

After taking a sip of water from the tea bowl, he continued, "It's the same in Luojia Village. They grow herbs, but what's the most important thing? Someone has to buy these herbs!"

People will only want to plant when someone comes to buy, and people's enthusiasm will only increase when they make money. Just like the dyeing workshop in Liujia Village, why do people from other villages envy it? It's because the villagers of Liujia Village have made money.

"Cousin Zhen, does the Feng family do herbal medicine business?" Meixiang asked Feng Yizhen.

The Feng family is in charge of Haoyue's Ministry of Revenue. Although Feng Yizheng has not yet become the head of the family, with so many years of teaching and being influenced by his family since childhood, he has a general understanding of all aspects of the family.

"Because Haoyue has been fighting in the past few years, all the departments of the court have been focusing on this matter. The situation has only stabilized slightly in the past two years, and medicinal materials have not been taken care of yet." Feng Yizheng thought for a while and explained.

Seeing that he looked a little depressed, Meixiang comforted Feng Yizhen with facts: "It has only been a few years since the founding of Haoyue. Everything is in a state of disrepair. It is normal that some places have not been touched yet. Cousin Zhen, don't blame yourself. However, herbal medicine is a major matter related to people's livelihood. It is best not to delay the control of this area by the Feng family for too long. If something goes wrong with a matter involving human lives and arouses public anger, it will really become a big deal."

Everyone in the room nodded when they heard this. "I will write a letter to remind Grandfather and Father tonight."

The beautiful woman who had been sitting quietly at the top drinking tea suddenly interrupted and said, "Master Situ, what are the herbs needed for daily use in the military camp? Where do you buy them? If these varieties happen to be available in Luojia Village, can you consider buying or pre-ordering some from the villagers of Luojia Village at the same price and quality?"

A word of advice can wake people up from their dreams. Meixiang and the others' eyes suddenly brightened when they heard the beautiful woman's words. This is a breakthrough. They can try to break the current situation first, and give the Feng family some buffer time to prepare.

"Mother is right. I'll have to trouble Cousin Zhen and Brother Situ to check the archives and the specific persons in charge. We'll make a list first, and then we'll check the details when we go to Luojia Village in five days." Meixiang said as she looked at the beautiful woman with bright eyes, then turned to look at Doctor Wang: "Master, you may not be able to return to the capital in the near future."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Doctor Wang, who was listening attentively nearby, did not expect to be called out.

Meixiang blushed and said in a flattering tone, "I would like to ask Master for a favor. Do you know any doctors who are interested in coming to Liuzhou Prefecture to accompany you and check the herbs in Luojia Village? If everything goes well, you can occasionally make an appointment for a consultation or take in a few more apprentices, which would be even better."

"Wow, Xiaoxiang, the beads on your abacus are too loud. Do you think those old guys are as easy to talk to as me?" Doctor Wang's eyes widened and his beard almost stood up.

"There's good tea, feel free to drink it," Mei Xiang said with a smile.

"Cut~~"

"In the future, we will have good food and wine, and we can also practice surgery together..."
