"Welcome back to the Great Dragon Kingdom, Yuanliang. Do you have a place to go now that you're back, and what are your plans?"

Zhou Wu had overheard Niu Ye's scheme in the Moon Kingdom, and he shared the same thought. He even preemptively arranged with Deng Yuanliang to stay in Niu Family Village and take charge of trade with the Moon Kingdom. Zhou Wu believed that grain procurement should continue indefinitely; a temporary respite shouldn't sever the supply chain. Furthermore, while procuring grain, they could also engage in normal trade and earn money. Only with money could they discuss development.

"Hello, Master Niu. I have already spoken with Lord Zhou. I will stay in Niu Family Village from now on and will be mainly in charge of trade with the Moon Man Kingdom."

Deng Yuanliang wasn't stupid; he knew that Master Niu was asking about these things to keep him, but he really liked the feeling of being valued.

"Haha, good, good, good, good to stay, good to stay."

Knowing that the other party had decided to stay, Uncle Niu's already wrinkled face broke into an even wider grin.

That evening, Master Niu personally invited Zhou Wu, Deng Yuanliang, and Niu Er to his home for a simple meal. The food was indeed just home-style cooking, but it made Deng Yuanliang cry uncontrollably.

"Everyone, I apologize. Yuanliang lost his composure. It has been far too long since I have tasted the food of my Great Dragon."

"Hey, Yuanliang, you've suffered a lot these past few years. Eat as much as you like. There will be plenty of food in our Niujia Village from now on. We definitely won't let you go hungry."

Old Niu was getting on in years and couldn't bear it, so he immediately offered words of comfort.

"Oh, right, Mr. Niu, there's something else. We also bought a warehouse full of jadeite this time. Where can we find someone knowledgeable to sell it to for a good price?"

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Wu, seeing that everyone was quite moved, brought up the matter of the jade.

"What do you mean a warehouse full of jade? Why didn't you say that during the day at the dock?"

Since Deng Yuanliang knew about this, he didn't react much and continued eating his food in silence. Niu Ye and Niu Er, on the other hand, both showed shocked expressions. What does it mean to have a warehouse full of jade?

Where is that jade now?

Unexpectedly, Master Niu gave an irrelevant answer, and Zhou Wu didn't know why Master Niu was asking this, but he answered truthfully.

"You little rascal, you actually left such valuable things on the boat. Niu Er, quickly get the security team to guard the boat."

"Yes."

Niu Er also felt the situation was urgent and immediately got up and left.

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Niu Er, who was just about to leave, had already taken one foot out when he abruptly pulled it back.

“What could be more important than this jade?”

Niu Ye's mind was completely focused on the warehouse full of jade stones, and he couldn't listen to anything Zhou Wu was saying.

"There are also two cargo holds of treasure on that ship."

"Oh, treasure is treasure, jade is more important... Wait, what did you say? Treasure?"

Niu Ye and Niu Er were shocked again, but this time Deng Yuanliang also looked surprised. He had been on the ship for so many days and had no idea that there were two cargo holds of treasure on board.

"This treasure is..."

So Zhou Wu recounted the story of the treasure. After listening, Deng Yuanliang couldn't help but marvel at Zhou Wu's good fortune. Both of them encountered storms, and his entire family almost ended up meeting his great-grandmother. Good heavens, Zhou Wu encountered a mysterious treasure while also experiencing a storm.

"Niu Er, go and personally lead men to guard the area, and make sure it's safe."

"Yes."

Niu Er also felt that the situation was urgent and he would only feel at ease if he guarded it himself. He turned around and quickly went to the security team.

As soon as Niu Er left, Niu Ye was still pacing back and forth in the room, muttering to himself.

"No, I'm still not at ease. Old woman, get me a blanket."

"Brother Niu, what are you planning to do?"

Zhou Wu and Deng Yuanliang were both stunned. They were eating their meal in peace, why did they need blankets? Were they getting ready to sleep? They were still eating.

"I need to sleep on the boat, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"Oh dear, Uncle Niu, your health isn't what it used to be. It's so humid on the boat; you mustn't catch a rheumatism. Niu Er is enough for the boat."

"No, I just can't trust you."

Niu Ye still insisted on sleeping on the boat, and Deng Yuanliang's eyes lit up with an idea.

"Uncle Niu, you are the village head of Niujia Village. If you suddenly moved to live on a boat, what do you think the outside world would do?"

"how to think?"

Old Niu didn't understand why he was sleeping on the boat.

"Isn't this the three hundred taels of silver that are missing here?"

"Oh dear, yes, yes, Yuanliang is right, we almost ruined everything."

Niu Ye slapped his forehead hard. Yuan Liang was right. We can't go. We absolutely can't go.

After Niu Ye made such a fuss, no one had much of an appetite, so Zhou Wu took Deng Yuanliang to his house for the night and they would make plans later.

------

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, someone knocked on the door.

"Uncle Niu, so early."

"It is late."

"Uncle Niu, who hit you?"

Old Niu stared at his dark circles, his eyes were lifeless and listless, looking like he was about to meet his great-grandmother at any moment. This surprised Zhou Wu. In Niu Family Village, who would dare to mess with Old Niu? They would probably be asking for trouble.

"Whoever dares to hit me, I didn't sleep all night last night."

"Uncle Niu, this... there's no need."

“You brats, what do you mean by ‘unnecessary’? If everyone were like you, so heartless and thoughtless, how could I entrust Niujia Village to you in the future?”

Despite his words, Uncle Niu still pulled Zhou Wu and Deng Yuanliang toward the dock.

Just as Zhou Wu had guessed, Niu Er also stayed up all night, keeping watch.

“I’ve already thought about this. Qingyang County is just a small border town, and it’s been suffering from famine recently, so these things don’t fetch a good price, and we can’t even find buyers. So my idea is to go to Jinshan Prefecture.”

Once everyone was present, Uncle Niu didn't waste any words. He had been thinking about it all night and then shared his thoughts.

"Jinshan Prefecture?"

Zhou Wu had little impression of Jinshan Prefecture.

“Yes, Jinshan Prefecture is the largest city in the southwest of the Great Dragon Empire. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, it should be able to take in all of us.”

"Then let's do as Master Niu says."

The main problem was that Zhou Wu didn't have any better ideas, Niu Er had never left the village in his entire life and had no ideas of his own, and Deng Yuanliang had just returned to Dalong and had no objections either.

"Then, Yuanliang, you and Niu Er go."

"Lord Zhou, you trust me?"

Deng Yuanliang was somewhat surprised. This was no small sum of money. According to Deng Yuanliang's estimate yesterday, the money from selling these jade stones and treasures would be an astronomical figure. The other party was so trusting in entrusting it to someone they had just met.

"What's there to worry about? Now that you're a member of Niujia Village, we're all one family. We're sending you because you have a talent for business and can get a good price. As for safety, Niu Er is here, so you can rest assured."

"I will certainly not fail your trust."

Deng Yuanliang was already moved to tears, but as a man, he held back his emotions. He believed that gratitude for being recognized and rewarded could not be expressed with words; he wanted to show the world through his actions.
