Married a scholar

▍Departure, go to the border.

At the right time, the gong for releasing the list sounded.

Meng Yining was looking forward to it. Although he knew that Xia Wenze's ability would definitely be a scholar, he was still a little nervous.

Not long after, a big man ran up excitedly, "Master, Master Ning, the young master has been hit, No.1."

"Really." Meng Yining's eyes lit up.

"Really, the official messenger who will announce the good news will be here soon." The big man was sweating, but even this did not stop his excitement.

Meng Yining threw him a tael of silver, "Is Fang Liang's copper plate ready?"

"Master Ning, get ready." He Fangliang couldn't restrain the smile on his face, and patted the bag on his shoulder.

Xia Wenze watched this scene with a smile on his face, his eyes never leaving Meng Yining's body for a moment.

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of the gong approached the Wenhui Building, and the names of all the students on the list were read. Some people rejoiced, some lamented.

When thinking of Xia Wenze, the head of Shangyao Village, the first name of the housekeeper, Meng Yining's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and he threw himself on Xia Wenze and said to He Fangliang, "Fang Liang, go and give out happy money."

Xia Wenze reached out and hugged him, "Ning'er."

"Brother Aze, congratulations." Meng Yining smiled and kissed Xia Wenze on the face, and laughed.

Xia Wenzhe restrained and stroked his face lightly.

In the evening, the bustling Guqu county town finally calmed down. Meng Yining was tossed and bustled several times by Xia Wenze, and fell asleep limply all over.

When he woke up the next day, Meng Yining rubbed his cheeks into various ugly shapes on the bed without a word, "Get up quickly, I'm starving to death, I'll check to see if I missed anything, and I'll leave tomorrow Walk."

Xia Wenze let him act like a monster on his face, knowing that he had bullied him severely last night, he didn't dare to say much.

The next day, before dawn, He Fangliang led his men to check the contents of the carriage again. After making sure that there was nothing missing, Meng Yining and Xia Wenze got into their carriage, waved back, "Let's go."

The 21 carriages rattled out of the city as soon as the city gate opened.

At this moment, the sky just showed the color of the rising sun, and the early birds were chirping and jumping on the branches. Outside the city gate, there were already people waiting to enter the city.

Meng Yining was sitting beside Xia Wenze, the movable front frame of the carriage had been retracted, the morning breeze was blowing on his face, and the coolness was limited. "It's already mid-September, and it's so hot early in the morning."

Meng Yining glanced at the weather on the plane trader, it was a day of high temperature.

Xia Wenze waved his horsewhip, "It won't be cool until the end of the month." The temperature has been like this for the past two years, and the temperature will slowly drop after the golden autumn and October.

Meng Yining poked his head and glanced back, "Fortunately, I asked Fang Liang to take the same carriage as ours regardless of the cost, otherwise the journey would be hot to death."

The carriage pulling the goods at the back, except that the rear compartment is open, the place where the driver sits in the front is exactly the same as theirs, for the purpose of sheltering from the sun and snow.

I don't count on shelter from the wind and rain. I don't know when it will rain.

Meng Yining took out a simple map and looked at it. From Guqu County all the way to the border, he had to go through twelve prefectures and more than thirty counties, not to mention the villages and towns, which were not marked on the map.

Not surprisingly, it took more than two months.

And the closer you get to the border, the colder the temperature will be. Don't look at them as hot as hell now, but when they get to the border in November, they will be so cold that they will die.

"I heard that bandits are rampant in the Huanliang City area, and everything is fine." All this was learned from the steward Ren.Huanliang City is the third city in front of Yusha City in Border Pass. Ahead is Yongning City where the Nanwang Mansion is located. After passing Yongning City, there are two separate Western Army Camps and Eastern Army Camps located on the left and right of the Great Wall. Guancheng guards all ethnic groups outside the territory.

That's right, there is also the Great Wall in this world. It is said that it was built by an emperor of the first two dynasties, but it is impossible to find out which emperor it was.

But it is precisely because there is such a Great Wall entrenched here that it completely blocks the various races outside the customs who are staring at it.

Meng Yining clicked on the forest outside Huanliang City, and felt a little puzzled. Although Huanliang City is in front of Yongning City, it is not far from Yongning City where Nanwang Mansion is located. Why didn't Nanwang take care of these bandits?

It doesn't make sense.

But this is not urgent for the time being, anyway, it is still far away from Huanliang City.

After going through the apocalypse, Meng Yining didn't think the road to the border was too far. The only annoying thing was that the shock absorption function of the carriage was still not perfect, and it hurt his ass.

But it's not unbearable.

During the more than a month of rushing, if they were in the wild, Meng Yining and Xia Wenze would go to the woods after confirming the safety of the surroundings. Of course, they were not looking for excitement, but hunting game. Turning around on the plane trader.

This is even more so if it is in a town, where food, drink, etc., will be tampered with when you find the time.Usually these things will not pass through other people's hands.

Fortunately, there were no monitoring everywhere in ancient times, which provided a lot of convenience for the two of them to play tricks inside. In addition, the caravans came all the way to buy and sell, and the farmers who bought them were all careless people. It was bought by a dead contract, and everything was under Xia Wenze's control, so even if there was a problem, he would not ask about it.

This is why Meng Yining would rather buy people than hire people.

It's just for the convenience of manipulating, who can't let others know the secrets about him.

However, although these people were bought by him, he never treated them harshly, including those bought from Shangyao Village.

He has never been less than a penny in the monthly allowance, and his food and clothing are better than the average villager.

If he did something wrong, he didn't have to beat and scold him.

It was only for the secret of himself that he had to buy it back with a death contract.

As long as they don't betray him, he will naturally return the death contract to them in the future.

Just like he promised He Guanshi's family, if you work hard for him, everything is possible.

After two months and three days of eating and sleeping, Meng Yining and his party of 53 people and 21 carriages finally arrived in Tai'an City.One city ahead of Tai'an City is Huanliang City.

In Tai'an city, people come and go, here, there are countless businessmen coming from south to north.

After entering the city, He Fangliang went to find an inn, "Master Ning, master, the big inn is full, I found a small inn and booked it."

"Okay, lead the way, let's take a good rest." Meng Yining leaned on Xia Wenze and sighed, "It's getting colder."

Already in November, they went from a hot day to a cold day.

The closer you get to the border, the lower the temperature, and the drier the weather. Along the way, there is less and less green. Except for the occasional caravan, you rarely see a single person on the road.

Along the way, Meng Yining and his team also saw a lot of refugees. If Meng Yining and Xia Wenze's force were not there, the goods in the car would have been robbed by those refugees.

In the wild grass on the road, you can even see people who starved to death or were killed by others.

At the beginning, the fifty peasants who bought back were still panicked, but later on, they became numb and had seen too much.

He Fangliang is in charge of managing these 50 people, because he can do some boxing skills himself, and occasionally he will teach these people when he stops.Xia Wenze occasionally plays the role of coach.

Meng Yining didn't join in the fun anymore.

When encountering robbers and bandits, after seeing those refugees, Meng Yining didn't waste money and eliminate disasters like other caravans. He just started to beat them up. How can these bandits and robbers compete against the seventh-level space system power users? .

As for the looted food, part of the food was traded to the end of the world, and part of it was distributed to the refugees and disaster victims they encountered.Objects such as calligraphy, painting, jade, etc. were all exchanged for money or food, and then distributed to the end of the world and the refugees.

In the end, this group of bandits and robbers will be tied up to the government to receive a bounty.

Therefore, along the way, Meng Yining and his party are very famous. Whether they are refugees, government officials, or even caravans, everyone has heard about them.

It was just because the rumors were exaggerated, but no one paid attention to them for a while.

This also made Meng Yining heave a sigh of relief, he didn't want to be noticed because of his momentary soft-heartedness and good deeds.

But also because of what they have done along the way, the 50 people who bought them can be said to be loyal to him and Xia Wenze, and they can't wait to go through fire and water.

Even He Fangliang admired them very much.

Meng Yining did not expect this.

Washed up at the inn, and after eating, Meng Yining took Xia Wenze out to go shopping in high spirits.

Those who need to rest are those fifty people including He Fangliang. He and Xia Wenze's physical fitness does not require any rest at all.

Tai'an City is the third largest city near the border, and its prosperity can be seen in general.

Even though the disaster was serious this year, it didn't make this place depressed. There was an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and caravans, large or small, could be seen passing by on the street from time to time.

The shops on the street are even more dazzling, and there are even street stalls on some spacious streets, and the sound of buying and selling is one after another.

Meng Yining walked all the way and saw a lot of furs, spices, felt blankets, cheese, and even some foreigners. "Didn't it mean that the border trade market is closed? Why are there still foreign businessmen?" Meng Yining squatted on the ground looking at the goods, and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner said with a smile: "As long as the buying and selling of items that are not explicitly prohibited by the imperial court, these livelihood products can still be sold as long as the tariffs are paid. It's just that the tariffs are higher than before, and the inspections are stricter."

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Yining understood that even though the imperial court had banned the border trade market in the past few years because of the border war, but also because of the drought in the past few years, the grain depot was in a hurry, although it would not let the soldiers go hungry Go to the battlefield, but it is impossible to eat well.

What to do at this time, then the barracks at the frontiers can only be self-sufficient.

In the past, the border trade market could still sell tea, salt, and some coarse grains, but now that the border trade market is closed, only these spices, furs, felt blankets and other items that are not linked to military supplies can be sold.

Collecting more tariffs can be regarded as giving border officers and soldiers a little more income.

Meng Yining raised his eyebrows. There are really policies and countermeasures.However, these should also be the result of the court turning a blind eye.
