sweet wife little confused

Chapter 274
"Old Yuan, we don't seem to have much food left," Wei Hu said.

"Food?" Zhang Zhenan sneered, "There is no food!"

"Why?" Wei Hu didn't understand.

"If there is no way out, all will be united and united!" Zhang Zhen'an said.

"If we can't march to the enemy's city tonight, and we can't break through the enemy's camp tomorrow, then we will have to starve to death. Under the stimulation of death, people often have more potential." Yu Haofu added.

"But..." Wei Hu still didn't understand, Zhang Zhen'an had always been steady, and the only few times he went forward, he was forced to. Unexpectedly, this time, he would actually take the initiative to attack.

"I don't think this looks like Lao Yuan anymore," Wei Hu said.

"This is Lao Yuan!" Yu Haofu said.

Zhang Zhen'an didn't speak, he just speeded up his horse, and the wind whistled past his ears, like a piercing knife, but he didn't notice it, he only felt a clarity in his heart that he had never had before.

He didn't want to spend his whole life in this battlefield, so he might as well just win a few battles, finish the fight early, and go home early.

Seeing An Xiu'er this time, although he forgot everything, but listening to her talk, he felt a trace of sadness in his heart. Thinking that he has a wife and son, then he doesn't need to spend his whole life in this Shura... In purgatory.

Whoever wants to offend Daqi, he should fight, finish off all the foreign enemies of Daqi, and then deal with these bandits and tyrants, and then deal with these cancers of the imperial court, so as to restore the world to a bright future.

Five years!

It is really not easy to finish these things within five years, so he wants to save time and try his best to strengthen himself.

The sky gradually brightened, and a white belly appeared in the east. The guards of the caravan gradually woke up. An Xiuer actually knew that they had left for a long time, so she was not surprised when she opened the car curtain.

However, seeing those people who disappeared, I still couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

"Sister, they're leaving." An Tieshi said.

"Well, let's just leave, he also has his things to do." An Xiu'er said, "I am very happy to see him this time."

An Tieshi glanced at his younger sister. Under the morning light, the expression on her face was dim.

He said: "Don't be too sad."

"Why am I sad? I'm just happy." An Xiuer said.

She looked at An Tieshi, and said: "This time I met Zhen'an, don't tell others."

"Why? Don't let mother know?" An Tieshi said.

"Yes." An Xiu'er nodded, and said: "For the time being, everyone will remain as before, so let's treat him as dead."

"Why?" An Tieshi said.

"Officials and businessmen can't collude." An Xiu'er had a sneer on her face, and said, "If others know that he is the eldest son of the Zhang family, there will be great trouble."

An Tieshi didn't know what troubles would come, but he imagined it casually. If others knew that he had a lot of power in the Zhang family, then if the army was not paid enough, maybe Shangfeng would go to him , if he refuses, what can he do if he is in the barracks?
As for the Zhang family, since he was in the military camp, could they just watch him being tortured by others?

This is also the reason why the Zhang family has only been in business for many years, but not an official, nor has it anything to do with the court.

Of course, the Zhang family did have people in the court, but they, the people in the court, had no blood relationship with the Zhang family.

The Zhang family takes in a lot of orphans every year, feeds them, clothes them, feeds them to school, lets them study, and then they will take the imperial examination.

Or there are poor and hard-working students from all over the world, the Zhang family will always support them. Among these people, there are always people who can be admitted to the Jinshi and become officials in the court. He would be willing to help Zhang's family, but at any rate, he also has the feeling of helping. If some minor incidents really happened, it would be considered a way to ask them for help with gold and silver.

From generation to generation, the Zhang family has accumulated a lot of connections.

This is also the reason why the Zhang family can stand tall as the big rich family in Xuzhou.

Others knew the power of the Zhang family and knew that someone in the Zhang family was an official in the court, so they dared not offend them.

And the Zhang family also tries their best to help their own officials every time. Whenever the officials they support go to become local officials, the Zhang family will go there to open a shop. This can be regarded as driving the economy of that place and giving these officials achievements.

Once the political achievements are good, after a few years, they will not be promoted. With this method, the Zhang family still has many mainstays in the court.

If something really happened, they would go to these officials. If they couldn't do something, they would naturally have mentors. Such intertwined relationships have long formed a big network.

But in fact, no matter how strong the net is, it is not worth the benefits. As long as one main thread is torn off, the net will be completely scattered.

All the nets are not as powerful as yourself. If you become a big tree, you don't need a net. Naturally, birds will come to live and phoenixes will cast.

"Okay, brother, don't think about it. The means of these big families are beyond our imagination."

An Xiu'er said: "They have all left, and we should also leave."

"Yeah." An Tieshi nodded, and began to gather guards, organize things, and prepare to go.

When they were on the road, An Tieshi couldn't help asking: "Sister, but there is no one on our caravan. Will there be any trouble if we grow bigger in the future?"

"No." An Xiu'er showed a smile on her face, and said, "Now the Zhang family's connections are my connections."

"Uh..." An Tieshi had nothing to say for a while.

An Xiu'er said: "The reason we can't find officials is because we don't have connections. I know the Zhang family's connections. As long as we use money to open the way, we won't have any trouble."

"That's right." An Tieshi nodded. He remembered what happened in Cangzhou and how An Xiu'er broke up Nie Zhongtong. All the food was vomited out.

"Let's go, go home early." An Xiu'er didn't want to tell An Tieshi too much about this kind of private business, she only talked about some short and easy things about her parents, and said, "I really want to see my family now. It’s all over, big brother, don’t you want to be peaceful?”

"I think so." An Tieshi nodded, suddenly remembered something again, and said, "Then I let Rong He go on an official career, is it a mistake?"

"Of course not." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "The Zhang family has been a big family for hundreds of years, but what is our small caravan of wood and stone? On the contrary, if Rong He wants to be an official, he still needs us to be him." backing."

"Why?" An Tieshi asked.

"Because, he has a lot of money, so he won't be a corrupt official? He can be a clean and honest official. He can scold them with money from gentry and nobles, handle cases impartially, and beg him to do things with gold and silver. Instead, he can take out countless gold and silver, smash them heavily on their heads, and say: I have plenty of money!"

When An Xiu'er said this, An Tieshi laughed. He thought of that scene, and laughed.

An Xiu'er also laughed, and said: "Brother, what do you think? An official must be rich."

"Well, if you want money, then I will make more money in the future, so that my son will not be fooled by money, and let him be a clean and honest official, handle cases impartially, and return justice to the people of the world!"

"Yes." An Xiuer nodded, and said: "Many scholars nowadays, they study desperately to become officials, and when they become officials, they are not for the sake of the people in the world, but just want to make money, and these are for money. Officials, how can they care about the life and death of the people in the world!"

"So as aunts and fathers, we should work hard to make money so that Ronghe can be a good official in the future without any worries. Even if he is pulled down because of incorruptibility in the future, we can still give him countless money. Let him choose the back way, even give more money to bribe bigger officials, and sue those villains who hate and slander him!"

"Does money really have such a magical power?" An Tieshi asked.

"It also depends on the situation." An Xiu'er said: "Sometimes money is useless at all, it's just some stupid stuff, but sometimes money has a great effect, anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's useful or not, a gentleman loves money and takes money." There is a proper way, and we should work hard to make money without violating the bottom line of morality."

"En!" An Tieshi nodded heavily, and said, "For my son to be a good official in the future, I will definitely work hard to make money."

"Hee hee." An Xiu'er laughed, and said: "Rong He is still young now, and I haven't checked his studies during this time, so I don't know how he is doing."

"This kid has worked hard." An Tieshi said, "He works hard at home every day. Last time he was talking about going to your study, but I said you were going out, so he didn't go."

"Then go back this time, let him come to my house, and let's go to the study and study hard." An Xiu'er said, "Brother, you have to work hard, you can't compare to your own son."

"Don't worry!" An Tieshi smiled heartily, he had never felt so motivated to fight, as if everything in the past was muddled, only now is the life of a person.

After a month, An Xiuer and the others finally returned to Minyue County. Originally, in her plan, they should be able to get home in half a month. After arriving in Daqi, many merchants along the way saw the goods pulled by their horses. They all came to contact them and find them to buy things, so they had to stop and do business with these merchants, which wasted a lot of time.

However, the advantage of doing this is that before they arrived in Minyue County, all the things on the carriage were sold out. This situation made An Tieshi very excited, and even had the urge to go to the Western Regions again.
