Wei Mingting asked his subordinate, "When will the supplies of medicinal herbs from the court arrive?"
The subordinate lowered his head, unwilling to answer.
Wei Mingting immediately guessed the answer, "Is there still no news?"
"Yes... because the battle had temporarily ended earlier, and until now, there has been no clear information, so I don’t know when we will get the new supplies."
The requests for medicinal supplies had been passed up step by step, but they didn’t know which level it had been held up at.
But they could guess that because the southeastern coastal region wasn't the only one dealing with pirates, after Xingshan County repelled the pirates, the upper authorities had relaxed their vigilance here.
There was no news from the top, and they didn’t know when the supplies would arrive, but the injured soldiers couldn’t wait any longer.
After thinking for a while, Wei Mingting ordered his subordinate, "Help me send two letters back to the city, one to County Head Magistrate Qian and one to the Colonel’s Mansion."
Wei Mingting could only hope that County Head Magistrate Qian might have some idea and could help buy some urgently needed medicine from the pharmacies in the city.
As for sending a letter to the Colonel’s Mansion, he had little hope, but it was better than nothing. If his family could manage to get some supplies, it could save lives.
Although this wouldn’t necessarily solve the urgent shortage of medicinal herbs, it was the only hope left.
Wei Mingting's letters were soon delivered to Yun Shi.
Upon learning that her husband was worried about the lack of medicinal supplies, Yun Shi wanted to help.
However, the pharmacies in the county town were also out of stock, and there was no way to buy any medicine.
Even if the Colonel’s Mansion had money, there was nowhere to buy the medicine.
Wei Qingwan, who had returned from County Magistrate Qian’s Mansion, came to visit Yun Shi.
After hearing the situation, Wei Qingwan couldn’t offer any help to resolve the problem, so she softly comforted Yun Shi, "Mother, there is no need to worry. This is not the fault of the Colonel’s Mansion, and there is no need for them to worry about it."
"I know it's not the fault of the Colonel's Mansion, but your father is quite troubled by this. If the shortage of medicinal supplies causes the lives of the people who could have been saved to be lost..."
Yun Shi was still deeply worried.
Wei Qingwan knew she couldn’t be of much help, so she said, "Then I’ll help handle the household matters for Mother and ease your worries."
Yun Shi nodded and then called for Mo mo Zhang, asking her to go out and inquire to see if there were any channels to buy medicinal supplies in bulk.
But after a busy day, there was still no progress.
Because even the pharmacies themselves were short of supplies, where would they find extra medicinal herbs to sell?
Even the herb dealers didn’t have any stock. It was said that the production of medicinal herbs had been poor recently, and there were disasters everywhere, so everyone needed medicine.
