Manbao was speechless for a moment, but still explained to Zhou SiLang, "The government wants to establish medical bureaus in various places. By then, the medicines of the medical bureaus will mostly be sourced from various clinics and pharmacies, so there will be a shortage of medicine."
Zhou SiLang immediately understood and asked, "When will the medicines be needed?"
Manbao said, "I don't know yet. They haven't started building them. I'm just informing you in advance so you can prepare."
Zhou SiLang rubbed his chin and said, "Medicinal herbs can be cultivated at home and there are so many people in the village. Anyway, planting wax myrtle and red dates can be done on the mountains and drylands, not taking up good farmland. They'll take a year or two to bear fruit, but we need to lay the groundwork in advance. We can't start the business only after planting the herbs, right?"
Zhou SiLang said, "By the time they need it, even bone scraps might not be left for us."
