Chapter 262 Understanding
Xiao's pregnancy can't help much, but he asked his brother to introduce a lot of contacts to Zhou Hui.

Xiao's family has been rooted in the Northwest for many years, and there is no way to bypass his family's contacts and resources. Officials who come here to take office will give Xiao's family some face.

Even in the emperor's place, the members of the Xiao family still have face.

Wenwen went over to comb Xiao's body every few days to ensure that she was healthy enough to give birth to a healthy and strong child, and that as a pregnant woman, her body would be less afflicted.

Brother Daniu was often busy in the military camp, and there were frequent frictions on the border. Neither side dared to start a war unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, the generals on both sides did not dare to act rashly, nor did they dare to leave casually.

As the younger sister, Wenwen is naturally responsible for taking good care of the pregnant woman. She comes to see her every now and then, and she doesn't forget to put some supernatural water in the well of his house to reduce the burden on the sister-in-law's body.

Zhou Hui has already started contacting other local officials to ensure that all channels are open.

He plans to build a street in his own county to become a symbol of prosperity, and businessmen will stay here for a while before going to other places.

Don't underestimate the profit-seeking mentality of the merchants. Even during the war, some merchants dared to risk their lives to transport medicinal materials, food and other materials to make money.

Of course, the price of materials exchanged for life is also very expensive, and there will be a lot of troubles and dangers, but there are caravans who can do this successfully, so don't be too small and bold.

After repeatedly investigating several powerful caravans here, Zhou Hui signed a contract with them to ensure their safety and provide them with certain conveniences.

But they have to take a commission, and at the same time, they also have to sell the goods to bring goods. This has several more channels, and if they are unblocked in the future, they can make a lot of money.

And the officials who helped Zhou Hui open up the channels were all profitable, and they would gain both fame and fortune if they did a good job. As long as they were not too greedy, the emperor would turn a blind eye and close his eyes. If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

The reason why the Northwest Commercial Road has been strong and no one dared to seize it is because the emperor wants to take a profit from it, and there are high taxes to pay for the soldiers' salaries, food and other expenses. It is mixed with state affairs, and it is not someone who is greedy for money question.

General An Guogong Xiao was reused and trusted because he repeatedly used the money he earned to subsidize the soldiers. The emperor knew this well, and he didn't just eat but not vomit.

Catch the big and let go of the small, the emperor is very disgusted with the corruption of civil servants, and the management is strict, which is how the Yang family and the Li family died.

Civil servants are at least safe, and their lives are not in danger, but they are still so greedy, how can they let you go.

As for the money-gathering behavior of generals, as long as it is not excessive, it can be tolerated.

It is because they will also take out the money to subsidize the soldiers and settle down the families of the heroes, otherwise the emperor will not tolerate it.

In the end, there is not much left in his own pocket, and he has to subsidize everywhere, so how can there be so much left, otherwise the Zhou family's impoverished clansmen will come from, they should be very rich.

No, An Guogong took most of the money away and used it for the resettlement of his family members after years of war and death, taking care of the elderly and the weak, which is a considerable expense over the years.

These things cannot be hidden from people, the emperor and courtiers are very clear about it, and the Zhou family has been able to survive until now without outstanding talents.

And the Xiao family has a large population, and their life is just like that. They are not a rich family, and they earn a lot of money, but they don't spend all of it on their own family.

This is the shrewdness of the old minister. I have gained, but I have paid more. Loyalty to the emperor is worthy of the people.

We don't have major problems, and small flaws don't matter, the emperor can rest assured.

It's like Wang Yi's slippery skin, but he has no major problems, and it's easy to use, so you can rest assured.

The Yang family and the Li family are too greedy, using the seventh prince to seize the heir for profit, they have stepped on the emperor's bottom line many times, and they will kill whoever they want.

The more Wenwen has been in contact with the elite core these years, and the more she has studied with Mrs. Zhou Anguo Public School, the more cautious she will be in her actions.

Deep down in his heart, he was grateful to the two elders. Even though she was a girl, she did not look down upon or despise her at all. On the contrary, she taught and raised her, especially the situation in court, and carefully explained the key points to her, which made her grow a lot.

Wenwen kept herself so busy that she couldn't help thinking about her son when she was idle, and she would cry secretly at night, holding the letters and portraits that her son had stepped on her feet without letting go.

She also finally understood that a mother cannot live without her children, and also understood the reason why her mother Li Hui insisted on working.

Maybe it's because she doesn't feel safe, after all, her father is very rich, so this is a big uncertainty.

Everyone in the wealthy circle likes sons. Li Hui works hard and earns less money than Wang Yi, but she has a high social status. She is also seeking a way out for her daughter.

Even if Wang Yi changes his mind one day, Li Hui can afford to support her daughter by herself.

When I was young, I blamed my mother for not wanting to spend more time with me, since the family was not short of money.

But grandma said that you have to understand your mother, she is not only working hard for herself, but also for you to have a way out.

At that time, my temper was very capricious, and I was the only one who respected me. How could I listen to these things, but now that I have a child, I really understand.

She also began to work hard, this time for a brighter future for herself and her son.

Zhou Hui returned to the backyard after dark, and sighed slightly when he saw Wenwen still looking at his son's portrait.

Every day, she would sit on the concubine's couch under the window and read her son's portrait and letter, and put them away when she came back.

"I'm still watching it, don't read it, it's getting dark, it's time to sleep."

"it is good."

"Do you know, I see you miss brother Zhuo so much, it seems that you can forgive my father, my mother was also worried about me back then."

"Well, it must be more broken than me."

Wenwen didn't ask Zhou Hui to forgive the prince, she understood the pain in his heart.

Zhou Hui hugged her, his gaze was a little far away, "It seems that I gradually understood a lot of things after becoming a father. It was something that I couldn't understand before, but now I can figure it out a little bit."

"Me too, it seems that the resentment in my heart is much less, and I can understand the suffering of my parents."

"Let's write a letter to my family tomorrow. Brother Zhuo seems to be getting taller. I think it's because I lost weight."

"Let's draw a few portraits of ourselves and send them back so that our son can recognize our portraits, okay?"

"Okay, I guess it's still a stranger who can't recognize you if you meet each other, children can't remember."

"Try it, I want to see a portrait of my son too."

"Okay, I'll draw for you, you dress up better."

Zhou Hui gently stroked the broken hair on his wife's forehead, smiling dotingly.

"Hunzi, you have changed, you have become soft and not so cold."

"Was I cold before?"

"Well, you're cold in your bones. I'm just being cold outside to scare people. But you're really cold in your heart. I like you now, cute and warm, with warmth in your eyes."

Wenwen squeezed his face and smiled.
