Chapter 469: A New Home 3
readx; In addition, the walls have one of the biggest benefits, which is the height. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe ladders in this year are all made of wood, and they should be easy to move and carry, not too thick, so the texture and brittleness of the wood determine that the ladder should not be too long, otherwise the soldier will crush the ladder if he climbs halfway. In addition, the ladder must be placed on the wall at an oblique angle, and the wall is as high as five zhang, so the ladder must be at least 18 meters above the city wall to be successfully erected, but the limitation of wood means that the ladder cannot be so long. Therefore, the city wall has become an insurmountable barrier, even if you come with a ladder, you can only look at the wall and sigh.
But Taniguchi can't be blocked, and the door must be left to enter and exit, and the door will become a weak point for the other party to break through. In order to make his home foolproof, Wei Hong is very generous to let craftsmen use iron to build iron gates! However, because there is not much iron in the valley, the door can not be built too thick, and finally after the construction, it is two feet high and half a foot thick. In addition to the iron doors, even the deadbolts are made of iron posts as thick as an arm, and there are not only one deadbolts, but three.
As the saying goes, offense is the best defense, and if you just pursue defense, you will always be broken through one day, so counterattack has become a necessary means. To this end, Wei Hong selected fifty able-bodied men from among the slaves and organized them into a guard team in the canyon for training, so that they could be entrusted with the important task of defending their homeland in the future.
In late autumn and early winter, with Wei Hong's unremitting efforts, the canyon was transformed into an impregnable paradise with all its needs. Wan Niang's body was already neat, holding Wei Zhang, who was babbling, followed Wei Hong and walked around the canyon. Wei Hong has canceled the slaves' status as 'slaves', and has purchased a large number of female slaves from outside and married them. The reason why this was done was to appease people's hearts, after all, in this deep mountain and old forest, there is no legal constraint, and the slightest carelessness will cause slaves to revolt. And with a home, with children, the slaves will become honest for the sake of their families, and there will be no more unrealistic ideas.
"Husband, how long are we going to stay here?" The weather was a little cold, and Wan Niang wrapped the little guy tightly, revealing only a small face. Looking at the little guy's peaceful sleep, Wan Niang asked thoughtfully.
Wei Hong was squatting on the field, scratching the soil, planning what to plant in the spring of next year. After listening to Wan Niang's words, Wei Hong patted off the soil in his hand, stood up and glanced at the little guy in Wan Niang's arms, and then said, "Why, you don't like to live here?" ”
"Where there is a husband, Wan Niang is used to living, but ...... One day, when the little guy grows up, he always wants to go out and see the world. "Wan Niang said very tactfully, mainly because she was worried that the child would stay in the valley all the time and have little contact with the outside world, and would become a 'dirt bun'.
Wei Hong knew what Wan Niang thought, reached out and pinched the little guy's fleshy little face, and then pinched Wan Niang's tight cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, my Wei Hong's child, naturally I want him to become a dragon and phoenix among people." When the time comes, I will pour all the knowledge I have learned all my life into him. When the time comes, it is up to him whether to leave the valley or spend his life here in peace. ”
"Hmm." Since Wei Hong said so, Wanniang has nothing to say. Accompanied Wei Hong around the field again, and when she was leaving, Wan Niang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how did the princess look for you from the future?" Didn't the husband come here to help them build the economy? ”
Wei Hong shrugged his shoulders, put his arm around Wan Niang's shoulder, and explained on the way back: "Building the economy is not a matter of one or two days, and Tubo has just obtained the territory of Zhangxiong, and now it is still using troops against Tuyuhun, and when the overall situation is unified, it is time to rectify the domestic economy, and it is too early to do so." ”
Wei Hong just said it roughly, this knowledge, Wan Niang doesn't understand it if she talks too much, and Wan Niang doesn't want to know too much, Wan Niang's idea is very simple and simple, just four words 'husband and child'. Something that had nothing to do with those four words, she couldn't arouse the slightest interest.
Now that the canyon has been renovated, Wei Hong doesn't want to be so idle, after all, although he brought a lot of money when he came, there will always be a day when he sits and eats, and he must make plans as soon as possible. It is Li Xiehe's lifelong wish to carry forward Hongyuan Commercial Bank, so even if Wei Hong is reduced to the point of being squeezed out by Comrade Li, he will not give up Hongyuan Commercial Bank. Now I can't figure out the true thoughts of Comrade Lao Li, if one day, Comrade Lao Li wants to tear his face, then the Hongyuan Commercial Bank in Datang will definitely be finished. Therefore, it is better to plan as soon as possible and create a far-reaching business in Tibet.
Half a month later, Wei Hong took Li Xuanqing and Ya'er, with a large amount of gold and silver treasures, to the town where daily necessities were purchased a few months ago. The reason why Wei Hong takes Ya'er with him every time he travels is because Ya'er's martial arts are the highest among everyone, and he can act as a bodyguard with her, so as not to be blind at a critical moment.
When he arrived in the town, Wei Hong found the county order and told the county order that he planned to do business here. Because the county commander had received a lot of benefits from Wei Hong before, and Wei Hong had a horse racing card, the county commander did not dare to slack off, and took Wei Hong around the town to find a suitable place to stay. In the end, Wei Hong set his sights on a restaurant.
This restaurant is two storeys high, the scale is okay, at first glance it is the highest grade restaurant in the town, but the problem is that there are very few customers. Wei Hong thought to himself, the owner of this restaurant is afraid that he is too ambitious and makes the restaurant too good, but ignores the consumption level of the town. Without thinking too much, with the few guests who come and go, Wei Hong can determine that there is definitely a loss-making transaction here, and it should not be difficult to acquire here.
Under the leadership of the county order, the owner of the restaurant was found, a man in his forties, who was dressed well, but his face was full of sadness. After the county magistrate finished talking with the restaurant owner, the restaurant owner's face softened suddenly, and he looked at Wei Hong excitedly.
In the end, Wei Hong used two pieces of jade, a pearl necklace and three gold ingots to buy the restaurant. On the same day, the county order was feasted, and the county order was given a gold ingot, which was regarded as his labor fee, after all, he still had to trouble people in the future, and this relationship could be dealt with.
Hongyuan Commercial Bank made a fortune in the cloth business, and Wei Hong still had to do cloth no matter how much he worked, and Tubo was already backward, and there were very few people in the cloth business, so this was a big piece of fat. (To be continued.) )
