　　Chapter 131

　　▍ Return to Shangyao Village.

　　Nan Wang and Yu Chizhong did not expect such an unexpected harvest this time. While they were excited, they also paid more attention to the valley.

　　And Nanwang and Yuchi came back not only to nourish the bottom of the pot. The two of them made a special trip to thank Meng Yining.

　　After the two men left, Meng Yining and Xia Wenze looked at each other and opened a small box given to them by the Southern King and Wei Chizhong.

　　The Southern King gave them even more things, including some land deeds and house deeds, and a pile of banknotes. Meng Yining counted them and found that there were more than one million taels.

General Wei Chi gave less, just some land deeds and house deeds.

　　The two did not expect them to be so honest, but they did not retreat.

　　With the start of spring plowing, King Nan and Wei Chizhong not only planted potatoes, but also made use of the valley. As for what was planted in the valley, Meng Yining and the others did not ask.

　　Before leaving, they got some fresh pears, plums and other fruits, not many, about ten kilograms each.

　　The main purpose of the border has been achieved, and even more has been gained. After Meng Yining and Xia Wenzhe gave instructions on things here, they began to prepare to go back to Shangyao Village.

　　After all, that is where the two will eventually belong.

　　After leaving the three older brothers and the buyers behind, Meng Yining went to say goodbye to his brother, and left four boxes, "Brother, this box is for you, the other three boxes are for General Wei Chi, King Nan, and the one in the palace. I'm going back to Shangyao Village with Brother Aze to be our landlord." Even

　　if he was reluctant, Meng Yian could only hug his brother with slightly sour eyes, "Well, if you have time, come here to play again."

　　"I will, brother, you have to take good care of yourself." Meng Yining took a deep breath and stepped out of his brother's arms, patting the two tigers beside him.

　　When leaving, Meng Yian did not come to see Meng Yining and the others off.

　　Meng Yining looked back at Yusha City, where he had stayed for several months, and then he and Xia Wenze whipped out of the city.

　　Meng Yian, who was sitting in the camp, touched the box next to him.

　　The boxes left by Meng Yining contained nothing but a few precious life-saving herbs he picked from Daqing Mountain and a few porcelain bottles traded from the end of the world.

　　The medicine inside was more precious than those herbs.

　　If the King of the South and General Wei Chi had any evil intentions, Meng Yining would not leave them those things.

　　It was also because he knew what kind of people they were that he left them those life-saving things.

　　As long as they were not killed in a single blow, his brother, the three people, and the people they wanted to protect would be fine.

　　This was the biggest backer he had found for himself and his brother.

　　Of course, the premise of these backers was that he showed them his powerful military force in those two battlefields.

　　On the way back to Shangyao Village, Meng Yining and Xia Wenzhe were not in a hurry, so they did not rush.

　　Perhaps because it rained in the early spring this year, the two encountered fewer refugees and bandits on their way back.

　　From time to time, they could see many farmers facing the loess and back to the sky in the fertile fields on both sides of the official road.

　　Meng Yining sincerely hoped that life would be better this year. It's

　　just that perhaps this hope is beautiful, but God is just unwilling to make it happen.

　　The two walked from April to the end of June, a three-month journey from north to south. Although it rained in the middle, it was sporadic light rain, which at most wet the land.

　　Both of them were in a bad mood. It seems that this year's life will be slightly better than the first two years.

　　When the two finally returned to the territory of Shangyao Village, they were surprised by the row of two-story buildings at the entrance of the village.

　　He Fangliang was arranging goods in the building. He heard the movement at the door and hurried over to check. He saw two familiar people, "Young Master, Young Master Ning."

　　"Not bad, Manager He and the other two have done a good job here." Meng Yining and the other two were taken by He Fangliang to walk around the two buildings. Those who knew the two greeted them warmly and respectfully, and those who didn't know them also looked respectful like the people around them.

　　He Fangliang took the two young masters to check the decoration of the shop while introducing the people in the shop to them, "Those strangers in the back are the people my father and Manager Fang bought back later."

　　"They are all dead contracts."

　　Meng Yining nodded, "Are all the goods for the department store here ready?" The two came to the two-story building belonging to the department store. Obviously, the two-story building of the department store is bigger and more spacious than the food city.

　　"It's all done." Although He Fangliang arrived only half a month earlier than Meng Yining and the others, it was obvious that he already had a good ability to do things. "Some of the goods in the department store were brought back from the border, and many were handicrafts collected from the surrounding villages, and some were things we got from some nearby merchants."

　　"Master, Master Ning, I have sent the drawings of those handicrafts to the nearby villages." When saying this, He Fangliang was actually a little nervous.

　　The two masters did not tell him about this, he wanted to do this himself.

　　Meng Yining nodded, "Well done. You can find someone to be in charge of this aspect of the department store here, just like the grocery store on the border."

　　He Fangliang nodded happily, "I understand, Master Ning."

　　Xia Wenzhe asked, "Are the sources of these goods stable?" Once their department store opens, it will be a shock to the shops in the two towns on the left and right.

　　He Fangliang said, "The supply is stable. Dad has signed a contract with them."

　　"What about the food city? How are those people learning?" Meng Yining still remembered that before leaving, he left them a sample of all the snacks. The taste will be based on the samples. I wonder how those people are learning.

　　He Fangliang said, "I heard from my father that the taste is not much different from the food that you, Young Master Ning, left behind. But the details will depend on whether you, Young Master, have to try it before we can determine whether it needs to be improved."

　　"Okay, there's no rush. Let's open the grocery store first." Meng Yining and his partner walked out. "Nothing happened in Shangyao Village, right?"

　　He Fangliang shook his head and nodded. "Nothing serious happened. Master Ning, your mother came to make trouble once, but was stopped by your father and his family. There was also a disturbance in the village because of potatoes, but was also stopped by several elders in the clan. In addition, it seems that the Meng family sold a few acres of land to us, but this spring, Mrs. Meng insisted that we return the land. In addition, many people heard that we were going to open a shop at the entrance of the village, and they all wanted to come here to help."
