Chapter 280 Planting a Wish

With money, sincerity and sincerity, An Xiu'er has dug out a large number of excellent craftsmen, and these craftsmen are all over her various industries. Before she knows it, her industries have also grown more and more.

Although this thing is nothing compared to the Zhang family, An Xiu'er is already very satisfied. In her eyes, the wood and stone caravan is just like her child, and she takes it very seriously.

The busy days go by very quickly. An Xiuer is busy with this today and that tomorrow, and she still has to spend time with her children when she returns home at night. In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and An Tieshi has run away again Back from a trip to the West.

This time he went to the Western Regions, he spent a lot of time along the way, mainly following An Xiuer's instructions, buying land to build the Zhuangzi, and then buying and recruiting people, managing the Zhuangzi, and building the residence.

This is not an easy job, even if you have money, it is not so easy to complete, because this is their station, not an ordinary Zhuangzi, the first is the safety issue.

An Tieshi understands these things better, and he also attaches great importance to safety issues. He asked many people, and they built the fence tall and thick, and chose thick wooden doors. , Only use the gate for important things, such as when handing over goods.

In addition, they set up heavy bows and crossbows on the wall, and specially trained a group of people to use these crossbows. They also built towers around Zhuangzi, and people patrolled them every day. The sharp wooden thorns are usually lowered by the suspension bridge. Once something happens, the suspension bridge will be lifted. If the enemy wants to climb the wall, they will fall into the ravine.

An Tieshi has taken great pains for the safety of this village, but they can't help but worry, their village will have a lot of valuable goods at that time, if they don't make it safer, once they are attacked by bandits and horse bandits, the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course, one has to leave a way out. In addition, these Zhuangzi have tunnels to escape to the outside. Once force majeure occurs, these tunnels can come in handy.

An Tieshi seems to be thinking too much, but An Xiuer quite agrees with this. In her opinion, safety is very important. After such a Zhuangzi is built, there is basically no need to worry about bandits. Bandits and bandits are worried.

After all, her Zhuangzi was set up outside the city, so it should be safer.

In fact, not only her, but every big family has many secret chambers that others can't think of. If nothing else, the Zhang family must have them. It's just that these organs are hidden. Even An Xiu'er doesn't know that these organs are hidden in Where, but once something happens, this secret room can come in handy.

In fact, the custom of building secret rooms and authenticity among the people is due to these big families, and these big families are due to some things in the previous dynasty.

The former emperor was fatuous and reckless, and killed Zhongliang indiscriminately. He often surrounded Zhongliang's family members under unwarranted names, and then sent heavy troops to raid their homes to encircle and suppress them.

The big families of this dynasty would inevitably feel sad when they heard about this, so they set up a secret way in their own homes.

An Xiu'er also knew about these things, so she specially told An Tieshi to leave a way out for everything, and it was the same when they built Zhuangzi. Don't just sit back and relax. In fact, danger will always approach slowly when you don't expect it. you.

With An Xiu'er's instructions, coupled with what he saw and heard, An Tieshi prepared a lot of things in these villages, and built this village like a strong fortress.

An Xiu'er only heard what An Tieshi said, but she didn't go to see it herself, but if she went to do business with An Tieshi in the second half of the year, she would be able to see these things. An Tieshi said that all the things he built Except for the one in the desert, the rest are all in Minyu County, which is a miniature version of their wood and stone caravan headquarters.

After An Xiu'er heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, no wonder they had wasted so much time along the way, but sometimes when she thought about it, she felt that his time was worth it, and she also agreed with his actions.

An Tieshi took care of everything well outside, but An Xiu'er and An Tiemu at home were naturally not to be outdone, they also told An Tieshi what they had done at home, and An Tieshi listened and agreed Complimented both of them.

The three of them discussed some more things. An Tieshi brought the account book to An Xiuer. An Xiuer was not worried at all that An Tieshi would be greedy for ink or anything else, but she also wanted to read the account book, because when she read the account book, she would feel that Only when they have the bottom line can they know where their money has been spent along the way, and then they can know which money can be saved and which money should be spent.

But An Tieshi did things, she was 1 at ease, An Tieshi recorded all the expenses clearly, so that An Xiu'er couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

In the end, An Tieshi felt a little embarrassed, and said that these account books were all done by the accompanying accountant.

Being able to make good use of talents is also considered the same ability. Of course, it is impossible to do everything by herself if she is a big leader. If she had to do everything by herself, then she would have been exhausted.

After the three of them discussed some things, An Xiu'er stretched her waist and said, "If one day we don't have to do anything and others can do these things for us, it means our business has grown."

"If our business grows bigger, you don't have to go to the Western Regions in person, you just need to talk to them before you go, and you don't need to go to these merchants to buy goods, you just need to let the people under you do it, and borrow you It's just a bit of face." An Xiu'er said.

"It would be great if this is really possible." An Tiemu smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to that day."

"As long as you work hard, this day will come, but I think that when our business grows bigger and bigger, it may not be easy. After all, people's desires are endless. When you really have what you want now, At that time, I will definitely want something different again, who can really let go of everything?" An Xiuer said.

The two An Tieshi brothers were silent when they heard the words. After a long time, An Tieshi said: "I don't know what I will become in the future, but now, I think I can do it. In the future, our caravans will be all over the place." In the world, I will delegate the power to others, and I will retire and return to my hometown to take care of my life."

"Okay." An Xiu'er nodded.

An Tiemu said: "Me too, let me set a goal for myself. After I am 60 years old, if our business can still afford food and clothing, I will let go of my rights and hand over the business to my children, or Someone else will do it."

"Then what do you want to do when you're all old?" An Xiu'er asked.

"For me, I'd better caress a few small gourds, raise a few crickets, and play around." An Tiemu replied.

Speaking of this, he looked at An Xiu'er again, and said, "Sister, last time I caught some pretty good crickets, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Me? I'm not interested in that." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "To be honest, I used to catch crickets for the sole purpose of making money. I don't really like these little bugs very much, nor do I like them." Watch them fight back and forth."

"But isn't that what crickets are like? They fight back and forth, otherwise there's nothing to see." An Tiemu said.

An Xiu'er nodded and said, "Maybe, that's why I don't like it."

"Xiu'er, do you remember what happened when you were a child?" An Tieshi said suddenly.

"What is it?" An Xiu'er raised her head and asked, she had a lot of things in her mind, and she might not remember things from her childhood.

"I just thought about it. At that time, we asked you what you want when you grow up. You said that you hope that when you grow up, you can have endless candies, you can eat meat every day, and you can be full with white rice. " An Tieshi said.

"This wish, I have come true now." An Xiu'er nodded, sighed, and said, "So people's desires are infinite. You see, I have fulfilled all the wishes I made when I was young, but I still want to Want something more."

"Everyone is like this." An Tieshi sighed.

"I do have an idea, why don't we write down our wishes? Let's put them in an iron box, bury them, wait until ten years later, open them again, and see how our wishes come true. " An Tiemu said suddenly.

"Okay." An Xiu'er readily agreed, and said, "We were illiterate before, but now we are all literate, so we can write down our wishes."

An Tieshi nodded, although he felt that this was something only children would do, but he felt that when he was old, digging out the iron box would definitely give him a different feeling.

The three of them took action after thinking about it. An Xiu'er asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and solemnly wrote down her wish. An Tieshi and An Tiemu also picked up a pen to write and draw on the paper.

An Xiu'er dried the ink on the paper, An Tiemu saw her movement, and wanted to come over to take a peek, but An Xiu'er quickly removed the paper.

"Let's show the second brother." An Tiemu said.

"No." An Xiu'er shook her head, then turned her head to look at him.

When An Tiemu saw that she was going to jump over to read what he wrote, he quickly blocked it with his hand, saying: "Don't look at it, don't look at it."

"Ah, you are allowed to read mine, and I am not allowed to read yours?" An Xiu'er said dissatisfied.

"Okay, I don't look at yours, and you don't look at mine." An Tiemu said casually.

An Xiu'er snorted coldly.

An Tieshi on the side saw their brothers and sisters like this, he felt a little funny, after he wrote a few lines, he also stopped writing, and An Xiu'er asked: "Brother, have you finished writing?"

"It's finished." An Tieshi nodded, and An Xiu'er squinted her eyes to sneak a peek. An Tieshi smiled, but still blocked what she wrote with her big hand.

"Okay, okay, I won't watch it, I won't watch it." An Xiu'er then said: "We don't watch it, wait until ten years later."
