Zi Xu touched his chin: "I remember your house has a big ice cellar."

"Yeah, I haven't stored ice cubes much since I had a refrigerator."

"You take advantage of the hard ice now and fill it up quickly, otherwise there will be no water for drought in the future."

Qian Zhenzhen was startled: "It will be drought?"

Zi Xu nodded: "The tea garden will not be affected much. It is best to save some water for daily drinking."

"I see." Qian Zhenzhen believed in Zi Xu's words.

"Then are you ready?"

Zi Xu shook his head: "Not yet, I'm just afraid that someone will get involved in the water."

Qian Zhenzhen touched her chin: "Then you said that my father's order for herbal medicine is related to this matter?"

Zi Xu was startled: "Your father is going to resell the herbs?"

"Yes, he took an order from an old friend, asking for a lot of herbs, which is not expensive.

What are the Huoxiang, Radix Isatidis... and honeysuckle? "

Zi Xu nodded: "Let him take it, and I will take it secretly after the receipt."

"Why take it secretly? Can't it be sent directly to you?" Qian Zhenzhen asked.

Zi Xu shook his head: "The person who collects the herbs should be convenient for your father, and he won't be blocked from collecting the herbs.

As long as this batch of herbs enters the capital, the other party will buy it.

By the way, what is the price? "

Qian Zhenzhen said: "The total is only thirty thousand taels!"

"Thirty thousand taels of medicinal herbs can be worth 300,000 taels of silver if certain diseases are rampant!"

"Yeah..." Qian Zhenzhen said so without realizing the point.

Zi Xu smiled and said, "This person must be Cheng Guian's."

Qian Zhenzhen looked at her blankly: "How do you know? Why did Cheng Guian's people want my father to come forward? He should know the relationship between us."

Zi Xu nodded: "I did it precisely because I knew it."

"But...what's the picture?"

"He just wants to transport this batch of medicinal materials to him through your father's hands.

When I know in the future that the medicine was given to him at such a low price, I will definitely regret it. The biggest effect is to **** me off. "

Qian Zhenzhen raised his hand: "Wait, I still don't understand!"

Zi Xu raised his eyebrows: "Just ask, I'll explain to you."

"Well, how did you and Cheng Guian know that this batch of medicinal materials will appreciate?"

"Oh, some people have calculated that Xi'an city will have ground movement, and then the water flow in the canal will be cut off, resulting in insufficient water in the capital and Nan'an city downstream.

There will be diseases when there are natural disasters!

Do you think medicinal materials will not appreciate? "

"Oh... but these medicinal teas are very cheap, even if they are appreciated, they are not much expensive.

Just when we lost 300,000 taels, that wouldn't make you angry! "

Zi Xu chuckled, "That's true, what if these medicines were special medicines for the disease at that time?"

"This..." Qian Zhenzhen still didn't understand why they were sure that this batch of medicinal materials could cure the disease.

Zi Xu didn't explain too much, and asked, "What is the penalty for this batch of medicinal materials?"

"Double, my dad will not sign more than double compensation."

"Well, that's sixty thousand, is your father still in the capital?"

"No, he has gone out to buy medicinal materials, and is scheduled to come back fifteen years ago."

Zi Xu touched his chin: "Fifteen, tell me your father's way back to the city. I'll rob the medicinal materials."

Qian Zhenzhen: "..." Are you kidding me?

Seeing her awkward expression, Zi Xu laughed and said, "Don't worry, you won't have an accident. I will do it before Cheng Guian takes it."

Qian Zhenzhen's expression changed: "Are you saying that Cheng Guian will take the medicine?"

Zi Xu said confidently: "Yes, he not only wants medicinal materials, but also compensation from your father.

He can make a lot of money together! "

Qian Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and cursed: "This **** is not a thing anymore."

She immediately whispered the route of Master Qian's return.

Zi Xu nodded: "I think Cheng Guian will do it in the middle. I have to send someone to prepare."

Qian Zhenzhen bit her lip: "We must ensure my father's safety!"

Zi Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will be fine, at most he will be scared.

When he comes home, you can tell him to call him sick, and don't care about anything. "

"Okay!" Qian Zhenzhen nodded. She felt that Zi Xu could not be wrong.

The two chatted for a while, and went home after the banquet was over.

No one expected that the day when the temperature was normal, it suddenly turned cold, dry and cold.

Some people without warm items in their homes were frozen to death in their sleep.

Zixu woke up in the morning and found an abnormality. Ziyue and Zixing were both wearing silk grass shirts, but they were still shaking coldly.

She took a deep breath, feeling that the cold air was about to freeze her lungs.

"Why is it so cold suddenly?"

Ziyue said: "It was fine yesterday in the middle of the night. There was a sudden wind before sunrise, and it was so cold afterwards."

Zixu took out the nail-big fire essence and put it into the hollow sachet containing the insect repellent, and the insect repellent was burned to ashes.

Little fire spirit, the heat cannot be underestimated.

"If you bring these two, it won't be so cold."

Ziyue and Zixing had seen fire boil water and knew that it was a good thing, so they thanked them and put them on, and it really became much warmer.

Zi Xu went to see the old lady and the others. Fortunately, he had already set up the stove and fire spirits were set in the bedroom. They were not frozen.

But the servants in the mansion were so cold that Zi Xu prescribed medicine and gave them medicine.

After handling the affairs in the mansion, Zi Xu went to Bailihan.

Bai Lihan didn't go out in the general's mansion and was instructing people to light the stove.

He now needs to deal with the people in the city. Those who have died of freezing have to be buried, and those who have not died of freezing have to be placed properly.

Zi Xu bit her lip, greeted Bai Lihan and quietly took Zixing and Ziyue out of the city.

At this time, Master Qian should have taken the medicine out of the city, and I don't know if he is sleeping in the wild or in the inn.

The three of them rode horses and galloped wildly. Fortunately, there was no snow, otherwise the horses would not be able to run.

The three of them drove for three days and finally saw Master Qian's motorcade.

All of them are dressed like a ball, walking slowly.

Zi Xu followed them into a village, and they found a family to live in.

That night Zixu received all the medicinal materials and left a note.

On the second day, Master Qian could only admit that he was unlucky and returned empty-handed after reading the note.

Back in the capital, he took out his money to compensate.

After that, he fell ill at home and did not go out.

Cheng Guian was furious when he heard the news and sent troops to the village to understand the situation.

It's a pity that I only get some news that bandits often appear.

They believed that the mountain bandits took the goods.

Zi Xu didn't say anything when he went back, went to the villa to take out the medicinal materials, and mixed some medicines by himself.

She put the medicines in the warehouse, and collected the rest.

It's just that during the festive days of the Chinese New Year, there was earth movement in Xi'an City!

There is even a sense of tremor here in the capital.

Zi Xu was also awakened, very worried.
