Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"It's not difficult to recommend your sect's disciples to be officials!" Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said, "But I can only recommend one deputy thousand households at most, no more!"

In fact, there are many places he can recommend, such as Jianning Guard where Zhou Lan is, I believe Zhou Lan will give him a face. Another example is Songzhou Guard, he was originally the commander of Songzhou Guard, if he wants to arrange a deputy thousand households in Songzhou Guard, it is easier than in Jianning Guard.

"Really?" Yu Qingyi's eyes lit up.

"Oh, you don't believe in my ability?" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile on his lips.

Sha Pingchuan is going to be finished, and there are only two commanders in Songzhou Guard at present, and he is one of them. Even if his qualifications in Songzhou Guard are still shallow, it is still easy to arrange a deputy thousand households.

"No, no!" Yu Qingyi waved his hands quickly.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, "But the cultivation must be sufficient, and the ability must be strong enough. You must know that if the person I recommend does not do well, it will be embarrassing for me!"

"My third junior brother Luo Feiyu!" Yu Qingyi said with shining eyes.

"Tell me the details!" Yang Zhengshan also became interested.

Yu Qingyi said: "Feiyu is 24 years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the fourth level of the acquired realm. He is proficient in the art of killing on the battlefield. The cultivation method is mainly based on double hammers. Moreover, Feiyu is familiar with the art of war. My master wanted him to join the army at the beginning, but unfortunately the master passed away early."

"Hearing what you said, this is a talent!" Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said: "If he is really suitable, he can be arranged under my command!"

For talents, Yang Zhengshan has always been open to all. If Luo Feiyu can only have ability and strength, he is naturally willing to reuse him.

"But I want to know if your Tianqing Sword Sect can lend a few strong warriors to my family."

Yang Zhengshan did not forget his purpose, which was to recruit some guards for his family.

"No problem, as long as you can marry me, I can let Madam Liu and Madam Lin as well as Qingxia and Hongyun as dowry!" Yu Qingyi said proudly.

This proud little look made Yang Zhengshan unable to help but stretch out his evil palm.

Unfortunately, Yu Qingyi seemed to be prepared and slapped his hand away.

"Although they are slaves, they have also practiced since childhood. The two madams watched me grow up, and Qingxia and Hongyun were also taught by me personally."

Many of the slaves of the Jianghu sects have cultivation, but compared with the disciples of the sects, the resources obtained by the slaves may be much less.

Yang Zhengshan withdrew his hand and said, "Well, I will come to ask for marriage when the matter in Anyuan City is over!".

…

The turmoil in Anyuan City lasted only one day and one night, and Anyuan City returned to its former peace in the morning of the next day.

Of course, this peace was only for ordinary people. For the officialdom of Anyuan City, this turmoil was far from over.

Three days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the fourth day, Wei Cen came to Anyuan City again.

But this time he did not come alone, but brought hundreds of people.

Among them were people from the Secret Guard, people from the Governor's Office, and people from the General's Office. Hundreds of people entered Anyuan City in a mighty manner, and Yang Zhengshan had to entertain them with all his heart.

However, everyone seemed to be in no mood to thank Yang Zhengshan for his hospitality. After arriving in Anyuan City, they all devoted themselves to official business.

"Have you dealt with the matter in Jiacheng?"

Yang Zhengshan stood in front of the lobby of the prefectural office, looking at the busy people, and asked Wei Cen.

"Not yet, leave it to others to deal with!" Wei Cen said.

Wei Cen is only a hundred households in the Secret Martial Guard. Their main people are tracking and monitoring, and arresting is done by others. The Secret Martial Guard is not short of martial arts masters, but Wei Cen is obviously not a master.

"What about the Black Cliff Village?" Yang Zhengshan continued to ask.

"There is no Black Cliff Village anymore!" Wei Cen said calmly.

Yang Zhengshan fell silent.

This is the Jianghu sect. In front of the huge court, the Jianghu sect is not worth mentioning at all.

With the Secret Martial Guard, no, let alone the Secret Martial Guard, even the Zhenbei Division, it is easy to destroy a Jianghu sect.

After a long silence, Yang Zhengshan said again: "There should be nothing for me to do next, right?"

Wei Cen thought for a while and said: "There is nothing else, but you still need to guard this place and the backyard of the Military Preparations Office, as well as the Liang family's house, until the officials who are responsible for the house seizure are arranged in Kyoto."

House seizure is a troublesome matter, not everyone can confiscate it.

Generally speaking, the eunuchs in the imperial city, the doctors of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice, and the local government will work together to conduct the house search.

House search is naturally a lucrative job, and you can get some benefits, but if you want to use it to embezzle, it is almost impossible.

The old emperor is not a fool, and the adults in the court are not fools either. How could they give their subordinates the opportunity to embezzle?

Of course, Yang Zhengshan has the opportunity to tinker with these mansions while guarding them, but he can't do it too much.

The Secret Guard will definitely arrange someone to watch.

And the people above will not ignore it.

"I know, I will arrange the staff!" Yang Zhengshan has already thought about it, so he asked Wang Sheng to be in charge of the guard.

Then, he waited for a while in the prefectural government office, and when he saw that there was no problem, he returned to the garrison office.

There is no need for him to do the rest, and he is not suitable to intervene.

It would be better not to interfere in such troublesome matters.

When returning to the garrison hall, Yang Zhengshan found that Luo Shang had actually arrived.

"Greetings, my lord!"

When Luo Shang saw Yang Zhengshan, he immediately showed a friendly smile.

"Well, when did you come?"

"Han Fei serves tea!"

"Sit down and talk!"

Yang Zhengshan invited Luo Shang to sit down at the tea table.

"I came here yesterday, but the city gate was not open, so I had to wait outside the city all night!" Luo Shang said, sitting opposite Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan really didn't know about this, but even if he knew, he would not open the city gate for Luo Shang. It was his order to block the city gate, and he could not disobey his order for Luo Shang.

Han Fei served the tea, Yang Zhengshan took a sip and asked, "How is your business going lately?"

"Not bad. According to your wishes, Jinxiufang has stopped expanding." Luo Shang said.

From Luo Shi Buzhuang to Jinxiu Fang, Luo Shang's business expanded dozens of times, and his monthly profit increased from more than a dozen taels of silver to thousands of taels. This improvement was partly because Luo Shang did have the talent to do business. , on the other hand, it is because of Yang Zhengshan’s support.

Without Yang Zhengshan's support, Luo Shang's business would have been closed down long ago.

This is no joke.

Why does Chongshan Pass change a group of businessmen when a group of officials are changed?

It is because of the support of officials that businessmen can keep their businesses.

Although Yang Zhengshan is not a high-level official in Chongshan Town, he has Zhou Lan behind him, and he is also registered with Liang Chu, so he can still protect Luo Shang's business.

However, Luo Shang's voice cannot be expanded any further. If it is expanded any further, the benefits will be too great and some people may become jealous.

"Have you found your supply channel?"

This is what Yang Zhengshan is most concerned about.

In the past, Luo Shang's cloth came from the Luo family in Jizhou, but the share he could get from the Luo family was very small. Later, Yang Zhengshan helped him contact Liang Sanye, and Liang Sanye helped him get all kinds of cloth from the Liang family. Silk cloth and so on.

But now the Liang family is about to die, and Luo Shang will definitely not be able to get any goods from the Liang family in the future.

"I have been to Jizhou and Jiangnan years ago, and now the Luo family has increased its supply to me. I have also contacted many merchants in Jiangnan, and they will directly provide me with silk and satin!" Luo Shang said.

"The Luo family is willing to help you?" Yang Zhengshan was slightly surprised.

Luo Shang is not even considered a collateral member of the Luo family, but can only be regarded as a clan relative. In the past, Luo Shang was able to get cloth from the Luo family because he had a cousin who was the shopkeeper at the Luo family.

"Whether I help or not, it's just for profit!" Luo Shang said with a smile: "If there are no adults to help me, how can they care about me?"

"Haha~~" Yang Zhengshan chuckled.

That's right, Luo Shang can be considered a big businessman now. Although he is far behind the Luo family in Jizhou, he is still somewhat famous in Chongshanguan.

As Luo Shang's business grows, the Jizhou Luo family will naturally pay more and more attention to him.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan has no intention of paying attention to the Luo family in Jizhou, so he just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

"I came to you for three things this time!"

"Sir, please speak!" Luo Shang looked serious.

"The first thing is the situation in Anyuan City. The Liang family has fallen. I hope you can take over the Liang family's previous business."

The Liang family has a lot of business in Anyuan City, such as cloth, fur, medicinal materials, etc. The Liang family occupies a large share in Anyuan Prefecture.

Now that the Liang family has fallen, Yang Zhengshan naturally wants to eat this big piece of fat.

"Will this cause trouble?" Luo Shang asked worriedly.

It's not that he doesn't trust Yang Zhengshan, he's just afraid that business matters will affect Yang Zhengshan.

Speaking of which, they can now be regarded as a collusion between government and business, but their collusion between government and business is a little different from others. At least Yang Zhengshan will not do anything harmful to Luo Shang.

"It's no trouble! Just follow the formal procedures for specific operations. Spend as much money as you need and do whatever you need to do!"

Yang Zhengshan said.

There still has to be a bottom line, at least there should be no clues left on the surface.

The Liang family will soon be ransacked, and the Liang family's shops, real estate, fields, etc. will definitely be re-sold. Yang Zhengshan will speak for Luo Shang, but he will not help Luo Shang lower the price.

Luo Shang nodded, "What about the second thing?"

Yang Zhengshan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Jing'an Mansion! It's still the property of the Liang family!"

When a whale falls, all things come into being.

I don’t know how many benefits will arise if the Liang family falls.

Compared to Anyuan City, Jing'an Mansion is the home ground of the Liang family.

Moreover, Jing'an Mansion is much more prosperous than Anyuan City.

If Luo Shang can gain a foothold in Jing'an Mansion, then Luo Shang will also join the ranks of wealthy businessmen.

Of course, Jing'an Mansion is not Yang Zhengshan's home ground. Yang Zhengshan can't help Luo Shang much. How much meat Luo Shang can eat in Jing'an Mansion depends on him.
