Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather
Chapter 110 She’s only sixteen years old, and she’s getting married!
Originally, Yang Zhengshan thought he would have to wait ten days or half a month for a reply, but he received a reply on the fifth day after sending the letter.
Not only did he receive a reply, but Mr. Liang San also came in person.
Of course, when Yang Zhengshan saw Mr. Liang San, his face was full of astonishment.
"Brother Liang, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Mr. Liang San looked particularly thin, so thin that he was unrecognizable. If it weren't for the familiarity between his eyebrows, Yang Zhengshan wouldn't have believed that this was Mr. Liang San.
"Lord Yang!" Mr. Liang San rubbed his hands a little stiffly, "I had a serious illness some time ago, and I just recovered recently."
To be honest, facing Yang Zhengshan at this time, Mr. Liang San was full of anxiety.
In the past, the Yang family was just a farmer. Although Yang Zhengshan was also going to Guancheng to be an official at that time, his future was uncertain after all, and no one knew what would happen to Yang Zhengshan after he came to Guancheng.
But now he is a thousand-household defense officer and a fifth-rank military officer, while he is just a merchant.
Now their family is marrying up to the Yang family.
In fact, since he learned that Yang Zhengshan was appointed as the garrison officer of Linguanbao, Mr. Liang Sanye was full of worries, fearing that the Yang family would ask their Liang family to cancel the engagement.
Fortunately, the Yang family has been in contact with him for more than a year, and they would send them gifts during festivals, which made him feel at ease.
But no matter how at ease he was, his worries still existed.
So when he learned that Yang Zhengshan wanted him to contact the source of cloth, he discussed with Liang Lin and decided to come to Yinghebao in person.
Contacting the source of cloth was secondary. His main purpose of coming here was to test Yang Zhengshan's attitude and find out whether Yang Zhengshan was still interested in marrying with their Liang family.
If Yang Zhengshan did not dislike their Liang family, he would also like to take the opportunity to set the wedding date.
This year, his daughter Liang Zhen is already fifteen years old. If the wedding date is set, it will be just right for her to get married next year.
Yang Zhengshan saw the nervousness of Mr. Liang San and smiled gently: "Brother Liang, please sit down!"
"Minghao, what are you still doing there? Go and make some tea!"
He looked at Yang Minghao who was standing stupidly at the door of the study room with dissatisfaction. This kid was more nervous than Mr. Liang San when he saw his future father-in-law. He was as stupid as a wooden stake.
As for disliking the Liang family for being a merchant, Yang Zhengshan naturally would not have such an idea. He did not care about the system of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Even though he has adapted to some feudal customs in this world, his thoughts come from his previous life.
Let's not say that everyone is equal, at least he will not judge people by their status.
In his heart, character is far more important than status.
Zhou Lan is the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, and Yang Zhengshan treats her as a friend.
Luo Shang is just a small businessman, and Yang Zhengshan treats him as a friend as well.
He values character the most when making friends, and he also values family style and character when choosing in-laws.
Although the Liang family is a merchant, Mr. Liang San is an honest man, and Liang Zhen, the future daughter-in-law, is also a transparent person.
So he never thought of breaking the engagement he had made before.
In addition, there is another factor, that is, Yang Minghao is deeply in love with the girl.
The two have not met for more than a year, but their correspondence is more frequent than that of Yang Zhengshan and Yangjia Village.
Yang Minghao writes two or three letters to Liang Zhen almost every month.
After hearing Yang Zhengshan's instructions, Yang Minghao finally came back to his senses and walked out stiffly to make tea.
Yang Zhengshan and Mr. Liang San chatted about family matters.
For more than a year, the Liang family's life was very simple. They ran a cloth shop. Although they didn't make a lot of money, they could have food and clothing.
Except for Mr. Liang San's serious illness before, the Liang family had no waves.
When the tea came, the two talked about the source of cloth.
Mr. Liang San also relaxed from his nervous mood, took a sip of tea, and said: "If Brother Yang wants cloth, there is no problem. The Liang family has a large cloth business. Whether it is linen, cotton, silk, or spun silk, the Liang family has trade routes."
At Yang Zhengshan's strong request, he changed his address to Yang Zhengshan, no longer calling him "Sir", but Brother Yang.
"Well, it's not that I need it. I'm just helping a friend. You can discuss this with him when the time comes!"
Yang Zhengshan thought about it and said, "Brother Liang, I think you can also take the opportunity to expand your own cloth shop. I can help you open a store in Ningzhou City, and you can do the cloth business in Ningzhou City."
Mr. Liang San's cloth comes from the Liang family in Jingbian. He is the illegitimate son of the Liang family. Although he has no status and voice in the Liang family, if it is a profitable business, the Liang family will not refuse him.
As for letting the Liang family open a store in Ningzhou City, it was also Yang Zhengshan's new idea.
After all, it is the future in-laws, and it is better for him to help.
Guancheng already has Luo Shang, Yang Zhengshan can't give him a competitor.
Ningzhou City is very close to Jianning Guard, the distance between the two is less than 20 miles. Jianning Guard was originally established to guard Ningzhou City, so the garrison office of Ningzhou City is set up in Jianning Guard City.
"Will this be too much trouble for Brother Yang?" Liang Sanye said hesitantly.
"No trouble, it's just a matter of a word, and you don't have to worry about whether someone will cause trouble in Ningzhou City. No one dares to cause trouble to you when I'm here!" Yang Zhengshan said generously.
He is not bragging. Today, Jianning Guard has become Zhou Lan's one-man show, and he is Zhou Lan's confidant. With this relationship, officials from Jianning Guard and Ningzhou City have to give him some face.
Mr. Liang was still a little hesitant.
He just has this temperament, he is hesitant to do things, and he feels like the mud cannot support the wall.
If it were just Mr. Liang, it would be useless for Yang Zhengshan to help the Liang family, but Mr. Liang had a virtuous wife, Liang Lin.
Mrs. Liang Lin is better at doing business than Mr. Liang, and she is also more transparent than Mr. Liang. Unfortunately, she is a woman and is not suitable for public appearances.
But with her help, Mr. Liang should be able to do business well in Ningzhou City.
"Wait until you go back to discuss this with Mrs. Qin. There's no rush anyway!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.
Mr. Liang was a little embarrassed. He also knew his temper, so he said sarcastically: "Make Brother Yang laugh!"
"Nothing to laugh about, we will be a family from now on." Yang Zhengshan said.
Mr. Liang was thinking about asking if it was time to decide on the wedding date for his two children, but his hesitant temper broke out again and he never said anything.
It wasn't until lunch, after two glasses of wine, that Mr. Liang opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yang, our two children are getting older. Shouldn't we choose a date to get married!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Minghao's face suddenly turned red at the dinner table.
Yang Mingzhi looked at Yang Minghao with a narrow look on his face, and stretched out his arm to poke him.
Yang Zhengshan glanced at Yang Minghao and couldn't help complaining, he was only sixteen years old and he was about to get married!
But after thinking about it, he also felt that it was time for Yang Minghao to get married.
This is the custom here. If you get married at fifteen or sixteen, if you delay it until eighteen, the man will be better off, but the woman will become a leftover girl.
His own boy may not care, but he can't help but think about his daughter.
At this time, Yang Zhengshan felt like an old father.
"Then choose an auspicious day and settle it down!"
Yang Zhengshan smiled and said: "I will definitely not be able to go back to arrange the marriage for my two children. Please forgive me, Brother Liang!"
Yang Minghao and Liang Zhen definitely cannot get married in Yinghe Fort, but in Anning County.
This back and forth, plus the marriage, will take at least six or seven days. He can't spare so much time now.
"I understand, I understand." Mr. Liang said with a big tongue, and his smile reached to his ears.
"Let's do this, Mingcheng. You take Wang back and ask the matchmaker to set a wedding date. Then you can renovate the house and buy the things you want." Yang Zhengshan said to Yang Mingcheng next to him.
The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
Yang Zhengshan couldn't go back, so Yang Mingcheng and Wang could only go back.
"Okay, dad!" Yang Mingcheng agreed without any hesitation.
The matter was settled like this. Three days later, Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi, Wang, Wu Hai and Ding Qiu returned to Anning County with Sanye Liang.
After seeing them off, Yang Zhengshan focused on the development of Yinghe Fort.
As the shops on the commercial street opened, Yinghe Fort became more and more lively.
Military households from the surrounding forts, fire piers and beacons often come to Yinghe Fort to buy things, and some people will bring some things to Yinghe Fort to sell at stalls.
Yang Zhengshan did not prohibit small vendors, and even designated a separate area for them to set up stalls, which was regarded as a small market.
There are commercial streets and markets, which means there is economic development. Needless to say, the benefits brought by economic development.
Even if the surrounding military households are poor, they can still make money and obtain daily necessities.
Today, Yinghebao is already a lively small town.
However, Yang Zhengshan understood that in order to maintain this liveliness and prosperity, he also needed to increase the income of military households.
Yinghe Fort has been developed, but other forts have not yet developed, especially the military households in Huoludun and Fengsui. They can only farm hard. Even if the weather is good, they can't make much money all year round.
Yang Zhengshan felt that it was necessary to find a way for them to make money.
And this way of making money also lies in the sewing workshop.
As Luo Shang's cloth shop grew bigger and bigger, Linguanbao's needlework workshop received more and more orders. Nowadays, they rarely make cloth shoes anymore.
It’s not that there is no market for cloth shoes, but the profit of cloth shoes is too low, and needlework workshops have temporarily given up on making cloth shoes.
Nowadays, Linguanbao's needlework workshop has been upgraded, and the women's skills have improved. The clothes they sew are no longer limited to linen clothes, but have begun to sew more expensive garments, as well as make silk flowers and embroidered handkerchiefs. , sachets, etc.
Some time ago, Yang Chengze hired an old embroiderer from Guancheng to teach the women in the sewing workshop some special embroidery techniques. Yang Zhengshan didn't know the specific embroidery techniques, after all, he couldn't embroider.
All in all, the sewing workshop is getting better and better under Yang Chengze's care and Luo Shang's care.
What Yang Zhengshan is interested in is the business of cloth shoes that the sewing workshop has given up. Although the profit of sewing cloth shoes is low, you can still make money.
The military households in Huoludun and Fengsui need such a way to make money.
However, this matter still needs to be done by Yang Chengze. It is not for Yang Chengze to do business, but to handle this matter in the name of the needlework workshop.
That is to ask the military households in Huoludun and Fengsui to make cloth shoes, and then ask Yang Chengze to send people to collect these cloth shoes and sell them to Luo Shang's cloth shop.
Yang Zhengshan thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he went to Linguan Fort in person.
And Yang Chengze naturally wouldn't refuse Yang Zhengshan's idea.
Although it was a bit troublesome to do and he couldn't make much money, he was still willing to do it.
Because he understood that Yang Zhengshan did this not to make money, but to make the military households live better.
