In Mingjia's own study, Mingjia is making tea by herself.

Huo Zelin stood in the open space in the middle of the study. Huo Zelin wanted to appear fearless, but he was so nervous!

"Don't be nervous, I won't touch you until I understand this matter!"

"Haha, thank you! However, regarding Master Mingjia..."

"You just obeyed my father's idea, right?"

When Huo Zelin heard that Mingjia had guessed it, he quickly nodded and said that was the case. He quickly stopped because Mingjia continued to speak.

"I guessed it, but I can't do anything to my father! You are from a wealthy family. Generally, when a master makes a mistake, the people around him will be punished. Please understand this!"

Huo Zelin: "..."

I don’t understand anything!

Mingjia poured herself a cup of tea, then poured a cup of tea for Huo Zelin, and raised her hand to signal Huo Zelin to sit down.

"Let's have a cup of tea first. We'll talk about the punishment later. Let's talk about how to solve the problem at hand first."

Ming Jia said it very casually, and her tone was completely comforting Huo Zelin, which made Huo Zelin feel reassured and speechless.

"At present, the situation in Dianzhou City is relatively stable. We are not the affected state city. Although there are some supplies that are in short supply,..."

Huo Zelin drank the tea in front of him and naturally chatted with Ming Jia about the situation in Dianzhou. It could be said that it was still in his plan, with just a little surprise.

"But what? What happened?"

Ming Jia asked, but Huo Zelin was silent.

"Did Yan Wen fail to come back with the medicinal materials as promised? Or was there an accident at the Huo family?"

Ming Jia didn't even bother to talk to Huo Zelin. It was a waste of time and he directly asked about the biggest problem at the moment.

"How...how do you know Yan Wen..."

"Answer my question first!"

Huo Zelin coughed lightly. This was what he feared the most. Every time he confronted Master Mingjia, his plans would always be seen through, and he would have the illusion that he had no clothes on.

"Yanwen's people are divided into two groups. One group goes back to the tribe to collect medicinal materials in advance, and the other group goes to Nanzhao. Our Huo family also stocked up some medicinal materials and food in Nanzhao, but now both sides have not arrived on time!"

"Under such circumstances, you actually told me that Dianzhou is still stable?"

Mingjia couldn't control her temper anymore and slapped the table. She shouldn't trust Huo Zelin.

"Originally it was not very good, but General Ji Lin came to help Dianzhou, so it is still stable now!"

Huo Zelin's voice became softer and quieter. He actually knew that Ji Lin could not help Dianzhou City for no reason. Strictly speaking, he was helping the Xiao family.

"Is there a possibility that Yan Wen and his two groups were blocked outside the border by Ji Lin's people?"

Ming Jia's voice was cold, but the words he spoke were like a bomb, which immediately stunned Huo Zelin.

After Huo Zelin reacted, he remained silent and just lowered his head in thought, because it might be Ming Jia's guess.

"It is unlikely that the two teams will have problems at the same time, especially Yanwen and the others who are used to walking on mountain roads and wild roads. It will not be easy to seal them off!"

"But... what is Ji Lin's purpose? To betray... to betray..."

Huo Zelin was so nervous that he began to stutter. Given the current situation in Southwest China, if Fuyuan General Ji Lin had other intentions, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ming Jia is really having a headache. Ji Lin's eldest son is still in the capital, and which general showed treason by besieging a few caravans transporting medicinal materials?

"Give me Yanwen's route, and I'll take people to meet them! Also, write a letter back to the Huo family now. I want all the medicinal materials the Huo family has hoarded!"

"Um, okay. Huh~?"

When Huo Zelin heard what Ming Jia said, he agreed readily, but in the second half of the sentence, his tone changed, full of shock and confusion.

"Since I went to the Huo family, the Huo family has been preparing for two years in advance. I don't believe that just a few people can transport the medicinal materials that the Huo family has hoarded!"

"I guess the Huo family wants to donate a large amount of medicinal materials at once to gain fame when there is a shortage of medicinal materials in Daliang, or the price of medicinal materials is too high, right?"

"If Dianzhou's medicinal materials are always in supply, I don't care what the Huo family wants to do."

"But it can't be done now. If things get too big, you think you are a fool to be an official in the Liang Dynasty!"

Ming Jia's last question was so loud that Huo Zelin's eyes changed when he looked at Ming Jia. Huo Zelin's back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

Ming Jia didn't dare to talk about Emperor Liang Jingchen, she could only talk about court officials, but she believed Huo Zelin should know the importance.

If you want to return to Daliang, you can trust the emperor and don't play any tricks. Is this treating the emperor of Daliang as the incompetent Emperor Zhou of the current dynasty?

"Huo Zelin, go and write me the route and letter now. I'll go see Chi Hua first!"

Mingjia pointed to her desk casually, indicating to Huo Zelin to write in her study, and immediately get what she wanted.

"Uncle Fourteen, look at Huo Zelin here!"

It's no wonder Mingjia is so angry, she is really angry with the Huo family. She feels like she has chosen a pig teammate for herself, even though the other allies are very smart.

As soon as Mingjia entered the city, he arranged for Chengwen to go find Chi Hua. Chi Hua was waiting in the front hall holding three thick account books.

"Shopkeeper Chi, take a seat!"

Where does Chi Hua dare to sit? He wants to plead guilty. He knows that Mr. Xiao is in trouble, and he also wants to help Mr. Xiao, but... the actual situation does not allow it!

"Master Mingjia, here are our medicinal material storage accounts and order status, oh...and this is the current shipment and production status!"

Chi Hua sent the account books to Ming Jia one by one. He had always controlled the reserves of medicinal materials and the production of patent medicines very well, so there were no more medicinal materials to help.

Of course, Chi Hua can also suspend the production line, but then all orders will need to be postponed, which will cause problems with order return and compensation.

Ming Jia was not in Dianzhou City, so Chi Hua did not dare to do this, and Mr. Xiao never took the initiative to contact Chi Hua from beginning to end, so Chi Hua was struggling and anxious every day.

Ming Jia looked at Chi Hua, who looked a little bad, and squeezed out a smile to comfort Chi Hua.

"Shopkeeper Chi, you did a great job! If my father needs it, he will take the initiative to ask for it. You don't need to feel guilty."

"Hey~! Thank you, Master Mingjia understands!"

Mingjia lowered her head and read the brochure carefully. She believed in Chi Hua, but now she needed to know the operation of the pharmacy.

Mingjia looked at the account books and fiddled with the jade abacus, her brows tightening as she calculated.

It seems that strict control of raw materials has advantages and disadvantages. Although it takes up less funds, if a certain raw material is out of stock or the price rises, the risk is very high.

Ming Jia now has an idea: to collect a wave of Huo family's wool!
