sweet wife little confused

Chapter 257 A Bowl of Hot Tea Is Enough

"Caravan?" An Tieshi pondered for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "Do you think our brothers are good for business?"

"Why not?" An Xiu'er laughed and said, "The business I want you to do is not like in these shops. You mainly contact those big businessmen, relying on boldness and integrity."

"In my vision, you transport the silk and porcelain from the south to the north, and the fur, ginseng and medicinal materials from the north to the south for sale," An Xiu'er said.

"But, doesn't the Zhang family also have such a business?" An Tieshi asked.

"The Zhang family is the Zhang family, and the An family is the An family. The two should not be confused." An Xiu'er said: "Although I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, I am considered the Zhang family, but I am also the An family. Naturally, I have to think about you, big brother. , I also think for myself, you know the Zhang family, it’s not just our family, their family is too big, I haven’t understood many things until now, and I don’t know how many people there are in their Zhang family !"

"I have done so much for the Zhang family now, but after all, these things are not my own. Maybe the elders will say something, and I have to step down. So, for myself, for my children, and for us to settle down , I always think more about it."

"Last year when I went to Nanzhao, I made a lot of money at the Ruili market. Last time I went to Myanmar, I made a lot of money. Now I have seven or eight million taels of silver in my hand. Speaking of it, it's a lot of money." Huge sums of money, but this money will always be just a stack of papers and some irrelevant stones, and it will only be useful if they are circulated."

"You have also seen this time when you came to Cangzhou. Any big shopkeeper has millions of taels of goods at home. So speaking of it, is the money enough? Not enough, because people's greed is infinite. Whatever happens, you need a lot of money.”

"It's not easy for the common people to grow food, but for these dignitaries and dignitaries, any decoration can cost tens of thousands of taels of silver."

An Xiu'er talked a lot, but An Tieshi didn't know what to say, so he just sighed and said, "Sister, don't think so much."

"I can't think about it. In many cases, danger and gain coexist. If you don't have money, you can have happiness without money. If you have money, you can have worries. But the richer you are, the more people will stare at you. You can only keep moving forward. Otherwise, once you fall, there will still be so many people eating with you."

"That's true." An Tieshi nodded.

An Xiu'er then said: "I plan to ask you to set up a caravan, in my imagination, there are at least a thousand people in this caravan, and all of them are good players. The gangsters didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only obediently give way."

"And your trade routes are not limited to the north and south of Daqi, and even include other countries, such as the Western Regions. I read from the book that there are many precious gems there, just like ordinary items. Still, I've also heard that they have plenty of furs there, and fine, strong woolen rugs, and warm fur bed felts, and delicious wine.

And we in the Central Plains, when it comes to winter, it is extremely cold, so we need these things, we need their carpets, their leather felts to keep warm, their gemstones to decorate, and their fine wines to celebrate.

They prefer our Central Plains silk, our Central Plains porcelain, our Central Plains embroidery, and our Central Plains exquisite jewelry.

If our caravan is established, we can buy silk fabrics, satin, and porcelain from the Central Plains at a low price, and transport them to the Western Regions, and exchange these things for their furs, gems, and felts. This way of bartering, They've always been a favorite.

If you establish a good relationship with the chiefs and leaders of the tribes over there, brother, maybe our merchants will have another surprise. "

"Sister, how do you know so much?" An Tieshi asked.

"I don't know if it's true or not from what I read in the book, but if it's true or not, you guys will find out when the time comes." An Xiu'er said.

"Sister, you really plan to let us form a caravan." An Tieshi asked anxiously. Before that, he thought it was impossible, but now that An Xiuer said this, he felt his heart pounding. stand up.

"Of course it's true. I've thought it all out for you. We'll discuss it when we get back. Anyway, we have money now, so we don't have to think so much. The worst thing is that we will fail, and it will just take some time." An Xiu'er said.

"Okay!" Hearing what An Xiu'er said, An Tieshi also became proud, and said, "Since you are not afraid of losing money, sister, then I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman."

"Well, I believe big brother. I think big brother, you are simple and get along well with people. The few times you go out these few times, it is because you have a good relationship with others that you can be like a brother with these escorts. , let them do their best all the way."

"Hahaha, everyone in the world is brothers." After being praised by An Xiu'er, An Tieshi felt a little embarrassed.

"You're right, everyone in the world is brothers." An Xiu'er smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then we'll settle the matter of forming a caravan. In the meantime, I'll find you a few cashiers to follow along with you." Except for the experienced shopkeeper who will accompany you, the rest will not interfere, you guys can handle it yourself, and I will be responsible for paying the money!"

"Okay, as long as the money is okay, everything else is fine!" An Tieshi was full of fighting spirit at the moment, and he felt that he was about to make a career out of it.

"Anyway, we have a lot of money. Every time we pass by a place, we will buy a piece of land there and build a village. When the time comes, wherever the people in your caravan go, brother, you don't have to worry about having no place to live." An Xiuer said again .

"Build Zhuangzi every time I go? This is a big deal!" An Tieshi listened, and his heart beat again.

"Anyway, the money is not spent here, and it's useless. We built Zhuangzi. In case something happens in the future, we have a place to live. People say that there are hundreds of strongholds, and we don't have to be afraid of doing anything." An Xiuer said .

"You're right, let's do it this way!" Now that An Xiu'er has said that, An Tieshi is no longer coy. Anyway, his sister has said that there is money, so what's the point of being coy, why not? Just follow her and be proud.

But thinking about it, it's really exciting.

……

Halfway through the return journey, the Mu family army temporarily stationed outside the inner city [-] miles away, preparing to take a rest before heading back.

All the soldiers dismounted, and some fire-headed troops also began to look for water sources, preparing to cook.

"Hey, Lao Yuan, what were you looking at just now?" Zhang Zhenan sat quietly under a tree, and Wei Hu was walking around with a wine gourd at the side, and he was a little puzzled when he saw Zhang Zhenan turning his head frequently.

"It's nothing, I just seem to see someone familiar." Zhang Zhenan said.

"Familiar people? Is it the small caravan we met on the road just now? Then why don't you say hello to them? Wealth and honor don't speak to people, like a night walk in brocade clothes. Since we know each other, we should say hello." Wei Hu He raised his eyebrows and said, the greeting in his mouth was more or less the same.

"But I just thought he was very familiar, and I forgot who he is." Zhang Zhenan said again.

"That might be your old friend." Wei Hu said.

"Well, but I did meet the woman next to him once." Zhang Zhenan said again.

"What?" Wei Hu was surprised, and said: "It's rare, old Yuan, that you still remember having a relationship with some woman, then you should greet them all the more just now. Anyway, you are a general, even if you leave halfway People dare to say something about you, why don't you ride a horse and chase them now?"

"No need." Zhang Zhen'an shook his head and said, "It was just a one-sided relationship. If you chase after her, it will only increase your troubles."

"If that's the case, then why did you keep looking at him just now? I said what were you looking at!" Wei Hu shook his head and said.

"Let's not talk about that, we are going to the city soon, so we can finally rest for a while." Zhang Zhen'an said.

In the past few months, he has experienced quite a lot. When he went, there were 8 troops, but when he came back, there were only [-] to [-] people left. This is because of the victory. Most of the dead were newly recruited soldiers. No wonder the Mu family army wanted to recruit so many recruits.

"Thinking of being able to rest, I'm so excited." Wei Hu said, "It's a pity that I have no relatives, and I'm alone. Otherwise, I must go home right now."

Zhang Zhen'an smiled, what Wei Hu said was human nature, it was rare to become a commander, and he was considered a high-ranking official, so he naturally told his family the good news.

"Didn't you always want to marry a wife and have children? Now that you have become a commander, you can be regarded as a little general anyway. You can take leave and go home and marry a beautiful wife." Zhang Zhenan said.

"What about you?" Wei Hu looked at Zhang Zhenan and said, "Old Yuan, you are quite older than us."

"I'll forget it." Zhang Zhen'an shook his head and said: "I'm in danger now, so I don't want to harm other girls. When I am discharged from the military and return to the farm in the future, if someone brings a bowl of hot tea, that will be enough."

"You don't marry a wife now, and when you disarm and return to the fields later, where can you get hot tea?" Wei Hu said: "You will be old by then, and it would be nice to find another young and beautiful wife, but you won't be able to accompany others How long, it is better to marry a wife, wait until the armor is removed and returned to the field, the old wife is still there, the son has grown up, and the family is happy, how wonderful."

"It's very good, so I support you." Zhang Zhenan patted Wei Hu on the shoulder.

Wei Hu suddenly stopped again, and said: "I was just talking about it for a while. I thought that if I had a good future, I would naturally marry a beautiful wife, buy good land, and build a luxurious house, but I just met you This man!"
