    In addition, the biggest advantage of walls is that they are high.  Ladders these days are all made of wood, and they need to be easy to move and carry, and not too thick. Therefore, the texture, brittleness and toughness of the wood determine that the ladders cannot be too long, otherwise the ladder will be broken by soldiers when they climb halfway.  In addition, the ladder needs to be placed diagonally on the wall, and the wall is five feet high, so the ladder must be at least 18 meters long to be successfully placed on the city wall. However, the limitations of the wood prevent the ladder from being 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 the valley entrance cannot be blocked, and a door must be left for entry and exit, and the door will become a weak point for the opponent to break through.  It is definitely not possible to simply make it out of wood like a city gate. In order to make his home safe, Wei Hong went to great lengths to ask craftsmen to make iron gates out of iron!  However, since there was not much iron material in the valley, the door could not be made too thick. When it was finally built, it was two feet high and half a foot thick. Even so, it was amazing enough.  In addition to the door being made of iron, even the door bolts are made of iron pillars as thick as arms. There is not just one door bolt, but three.  As the saying goes, offense is the best defense. If you simply pursue defense, you will be broken through one day, so counterattack becomes a necessary means.  To this end, Wei Hong selected fifty strong men from the slaves, organized them into a canyon guard, and conducted 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 indestructible and fully equipped paradise.  Wan Niang's body was already feeling better, and she hugged Wei Zhang, who was babbling, and followed Wei Hong for a walk in the canyon.  Wei Hong has canceled the 'slave' status of the slaves, and purchased a large number of female slaves from outside and combined with them.  The reason for doing this is to appease people's hearts, after all, they are in this deep mountain and old forest.  Without legal restraint, slaves would revolt if they were not careful.  Once they have a home and children, slaves will become honest for the sake of their families and no longer have unrealistic ideas.  "Husband, how long will we stay here?" The weather was getting cold, so Wan Niang wrapped the little guy tightly, leaving only a small face exposed.  Looking at the little guy sleeping peacefully, Wan Niang asked thoughtfully.  Wei Hong was squatting on the field.  Scratching the soil, planning what to plant next spring.  After listening to Wan Niang's words, Wei Hong wiped off the dirt on his hands, stood up and glanced at the little guy in Wan Niang's arms, and then said, "Why, you don't like living here?" "Where there is a husband,  Wan Niang is used to living there, butone day, the little guy will grow up and have to go out to see the world." Wan Niang said it very gently, mainly because she was worried that the child would stay in the valley and have less contact with the outside world.  , will become a 'country bumpkin'.  Wei Hong knew what Wan Niang was thinking.  He stretched out his hand and pinched the little guy's chubby face, then pinched Wan Niang's tight cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I am Wei Hong's child. Naturally, I want him to become a dragon and a phoenix among people. When the time comes, I will  I will pour all my knowledge into him. When the time comes, it will be up to him whether he leaves the valley or lives his life peacefully. " "Well, that's what Wei Hong is doing.  Having said that, Wan Niang has nothing to say.  Accompanying Wei Hong, they walked around the fields again. Before leaving, Wan Niang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, why does the princess never come to find you? Isn't your husband here to help them build their economy?"  " Wei Hong shrugged, put his arm around Wan Niang's shoulders, and explained on the way back: "Building the economy is not a matter of a day or two, and Tubo has just obtained the territory of Xiangxiong, and is still using troops against Tuyuhun.  When the overall situation is unified, it is time to rectify the domestic economy. It is too early now. " Wei Hong just gave a rough introduction. Wan Niang would not understand this knowledge, and Wan Niang did not want to know too much.  , Wan Niang's idea is very simple and simple, just four words: "Take care of your husband and teach your children".  She couldn't arouse the slightest interest in things that were not related to these four words.  Now that the canyon has been renovated, Wei Hong doesn't want to just sit idle. After all, even though he brought a lot of money when he came, there will always be a day when nothing is left, so he must make plans early.  It was Li Xiehe's lifelong wish to develop Hongyuan Trading Company. Therefore, Wei Hong would not give up Hongyuan Trading Company even if he was squeezed out by Comrade Li.  We still can¡¯t figure out what Comrade Lao Li really thinks. If one day Comrade Lao Li wants to break up with each other, then the Hongyuan Trading Company in Datang will definitely be doomed.  Therefore, it is better to make plans as soon as possible and start a Hongyuan business operation in Tubo.  Half a month later, Wei Hong took Li Xuanqing and Ya'er, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures, to the town where he purchased daily necessities 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 skills are considered to be the best among all the people. He can act as a bodyguard no matter what with her, so as not to get blinded at critical moments.  Arrive in townWeihong went to the county magistrate and told the magistrate of his intention to do business here.  Since the county magistrate had received a lot of benefits from Wei Hong in the past, and Wei Hong had a horse racing card, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect and took Wei Hong around the town to find a suitable place to stay.  Finally, Wei Hong set his sights on a restaurant.  This restaurant is two stories high and is of a decent size. You can tell at a glance that it is the highest-end restaurant in town, but the problem is that there are very few customers.  Wei Hong thought to himself that the owner of this restaurant was probably too ambitious and made the restaurant too good, but ignored the consumption level of the town.  Without thinking too much, Wei Hong could tell from the few customers coming and going that this place was definitely doing a loss-making business and it shouldn't be difficult to acquire it.  Under the leadership of the county magistrate, we found the owner of the restaurant. He was a man in his forties. He was well dressed, but his face was full of sadness.  After the county magistrate finished chatting with the restaurant owner, the restaurant owner's expression suddenly softened, and he looked at Wei Hong excitedly. Looking at his posture, he most likely agreed to sell the restaurant.  In the end, Wei Hong bought the restaurant with two pieces of jade, a pearl necklace and three gold ingots.  On the same day, I hosted a banquet for the county magistrate and gave him a gold ingot, which was regarded as payment for his hard work. After all, he would have to trouble others in the future, so this relationship could be better.  Hongyuan Trading Company made its fortune in the cloth business, and Wei Hong would still have to work in cloth business. Moreover, Tubo was already backward and there were very few people in the cloth business, so this was a big fat piece of meat.  (To be continued)
