Chapter 258 Preparing to Build a Caravan
"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Zhenan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Hu.

Wei Hu said: "It's all about you. You are full of benevolence and morality, which makes me feel that if I marry a wife now, I will harm other girls."

"What does this have to do with me? Why have I ever talked about benevolence and morality? Everyone has different ideas. You are you and I am me. Just do what you want, and there is no need to be influenced by me!" Zhang Zhenan He reached out and patted Wei Hu on the shoulder.

Wei Hu shook his head, "No, you've affected me now."

"I also think that I should be the one who influences you, but I didn't expect that I, as a military adviser, would be influenced by you instead. It doesn't feel good." Yu Haofu also walked over and said.

Zhang Zhenan smiled wryly upon hearing this.

Being able to influence others is also a person's personality charm. It is because he is right to do so that others will be influenced by him, but sometimes he feels that his ideas are too stubborn. In this world, there are It's enough for him to be a person like this, he doesn't want his own brother, and he also suffers from abstinence along with himself.

After resting on the road for a while, the Mu family's army continued on the road. They entered the city in the afternoon. Because they had won the battle, the news had already spread to Cangzhou. The Cangzhou State Shepherd personally led all the officials to greet him outside the city.

Mu Qian knew what kind of guy this state shepherd was, and he didn't give them any good looks. He just bowed his hands casually and entered the city. He was not afraid of offending them, so at this moment, the court still needed him to fight, and the court didn't need him. When he was fighting, he had already regarded the Mu family army as a thorn in his flesh and a thorn in his side, so it would be fine to offend some villains.

After entering the city, the common people lined up to greet each other, some even carried baskets full of eggs, fruits and vegetables, and wanted to give them to the generals.

At this time, Mu Qian's serious face softened, everyone's faces were faintly filled with joy, being liked by the people is really a happy thing, even Wei Hu grinned, A little silly.

Sitting on horseback, seeing this scene, he felt that this was the happiest moment in his life. In the eyes of his neighbors, he was an ignorant person, but now it is different. , If the former neighbors see it, I don't know what they will think.

And An Xiuer and the others returned to Minyue County smoothly after a few days. After going back this time, An Xiuer was busy with forming a caravan.

Although I told An Tieshi before that she would not interfere in anything, in fact, she couldn't ignore it completely. Forming a caravan is a big deal. An Xiu'er and An Tieshi are inexperienced. Fortunately, the Zhang family has a caravan. An Xiu'er directly paid a high price to invite a few experienced stewards of the Zhang family to join the Anjia caravan and lead them in the team, so that they won't be considered blind when the time comes.

An Tieshi was busy recruiting guards in the county town. It took half a month, recruiting and assessing, and finally pulled up a team of 500 people. Although the goal of 1000 people was not enough , but Anxiuer thought to take it slow, it is impossible to become a big fat man with one bite, let them go to the next county to transport some specialties to sell, familiarize themselves with the operation mode of the caravan, and then slowly lengthen the route, adding more number of people.

Many things are easier said than done. At the beginning, I thought that to set up a caravan, you just need someone to buy goods at the destination, and then sell the goods when you come back. Later, they realized that it is not so simple. First, they must know the goods and find a good price. In Lian's workshop, there are many ways to buy other people's things. After buying something, you have to take it back and sell it. Selling things is not so simple.

At the beginning they were inexperienced, and every step of the way was difficult. Although the Zhang family could provide them with a certain amount of contacts, An Xiuer didn't want them to rely on the Zhang family for everything, so she didn't use the name of the Zhang family. They recommend letters and let them negotiate by themselves.

The first time, An Xiu'er asked them to go to the neighboring county town to buy some silk fabrics. As a result, An Tieshi and An Tiemu were two rough men who didn't know what to buy. No profit on the Internet.

In the end, it was hard to find a seller, and after selling the batch of silk fabrics, after settling accounts, this time, it turned out to be a complete loss.

An Xiu'er didn't say anything about them, she just said that they didn't lose much, and it's not bad to learn a lesson.

They learned the lesson of this time, and when they went again for the second time, they found a person from the weaving bureau in the high price of the county city. This person knows the goods and knows about these silk fabrics. , After the second trip, they finally did not lose money, and they also had regular cooperative merchants.

An Xiu'er felt very satisfied, no one is born with it, and after failing again and again, there will always be some experience.

For the third time, An Xiu'er directly bought this weaving bureau at a high price. She felt that the goods she produced would be cheaper, and she was not afraid of being tricked by others, and she could also produce different silk fabrics according to her requirements.

After buying the weaving bureau, she also bought a dyeing workshop and an embroidery workshop, so that she can produce all the embroidery she wants by herself, so that everything is in her own hands, and she doesn't have to worry about the merchants who cooperate with her to drive up prices. up.

After buying these shops, she began to think about porcelain again. The most exquisite porcelain in the world is Ru Kiln, so she decided to buy several porcelain kilns.

The world is not peaceful at the moment, the people are not living well, and no one pays attention to any porcelain. Many porcelain kilns are almost closed, and some of the masters who fired porcelain no longer fired porcelain. Instead, he started to pick up the hoe and started to go to the ground.

An Xiu'er was able to understand this, thanks to the fact that she passed through Ruzhou City when she went to Myanmar. Once they stayed overnight in a small village, and accidentally found an old farmer with scars on his hands. After chatting with him, she learned about it. It turned out that he was a master of porcelain firing, but the porcelain firing cellar could no longer be opened, so he had to start farming again.

Although Daqi is not peaceful at the moment, it does not mean that other places are also not peaceful. Besides, these porcelains of hers are going to the Western Regions for sale. Not a businessman.

She once read in a book that porcelain is rare, and Ru kiln is hard to find, especially the touch of blue sky after rain in the color of Ru kiln porcelain, which is the most difficult to burn. It happened that last time she chatted with the old farmer, his former kiln Porcelain of this color can be fired.

An Xiu'er doesn't believe that this world will continue to be in such chaos. When the world is peaceful, exquisite porcelain will definitely be loved by people again. She must be right to buy a porcelain kiln. The porcelain will not be broken after being fired. And her money is valuable in this troubled world, but in the prosperous world, it may not be useful, so it's better to spend it.

An Xiuer asked An Tieshi to go to the old farmer to buy porcelain kilns in person, and finally bought all the porcelain kilns in that area, and bought as much land as possible in the vicinity, and then built Zhuangzi as a stronghold for herself, anyway, she I can't run out of money, so I buy land in every place and build Zhuangzi. When I get old and the world is peaceful, I don't need to stay in a shop when I go around.

She still remembers her own dream, she wants to travel all over the world.

But this kind of play is different from that of a merchant. A merchant travels day and night, and pays attention to one to seize the opportunity. She often can't feel at ease on the road, just like she went to Kanshi these few times. Every time, she has no time to stay, nor is she in the mood to play

Speaking of which, in a few months, there will be another auction of Ruili rough stones. Naturally, she will not miss it this year. She will earn more money and save enough funds for her caravan.

It's just that this time, she was able to miss it like before. Although she was very low-key at the Burmese rough stone auction last time, she was so rare in the stone-worthy circle. Her luck was so good a few times. Don't notice her.

However, her eyesight is now better than before, and her ability to appreciate all kinds of jadeite is also higher than before, so although she can't miss it, she can still gain something with her own efforts.

Just when An Xiu'er was about to recharge her energy, at this time, she received a letter. She thought it was a letter from the shopkeepers in various branches, but she didn't expect that the owner of the letter was actually Fang Yuan.

She didn't have much contact with Fang Yuan, but only two rough stone auctions with him, but in this Kanshi circle, compared with others, she has more contact with him, of course An Xiu'er She never thought that he would write a letter to herself, which really surprised her. When the servant handed the letter to her, she thought she had read it wrong.

Puzzled, he took the letter and opened it. It turned out that Fang Yuan had invited her to the Western Regions.

I heard that there is a Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, where nephrite and Hetian jade are abundant. Compared with emerald stone, people in Daqi still prefer jade.

Fang Yuan felt that Anxiuer Kanshi had good eyesight, and wanted to invite her to gain insight.

An Xiu'er originally planned to stay at home with the children for the next few months, but after seeing this letter, she was quite moved, because this Western Region was where An Tieshi and his caravan were going, and she happened to be able to go with them , I learned a lot along the way, and the other watched them so that I wouldn't worry at home.

She discussed this matter with An Tieshi, and An Tieshi naturally had no objection, he had seen An Xiuer travel many times during this period, and he didn't think it was unusual for An Xiuer to go to the Western Regions.

With An Tieshi's support, An Xiu'er wrote a reply letter to Fang Yuan, agreeing to go to the Western Regions and make an appointment to meet in the capital of Koryo.
