Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan went up to the second floor, and the girl led him to a private room by the window, and then left. However, a female shopkeeper soon came in with tea.

Many merchants in Anyuan City were familiar with Yang Zhengshan, the garrison commander, because he often went out shopping.

He accompanied his wife, granddaughter, and granddaughter to go shopping. Yang Zhengshan had been to most of the shops in Anyuan City, so many merchants knew him.

Of course, the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang also knew Yang Zhengshan.

"Does the lord have any instructions?" The female shopkeeper offered tea to Yang Zhengshan and asked respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Qingwan who was looking forward to it and smiled, "Take my little granddaughter to see it. Pack up whatever she likes!"

Jinxiufang only received female guests, and it was not good for him, a grown man, to wander around. It was better for him to stay in the private room honestly.

Besides, he didn't know much about the things in Jinxiufang, so he couldn't choose a pattern. It would be better to let the shopkeeper take Yang Qingwan to choose.

Yang Wanqing was very interested in those exquisite embroidery. Although she was lively and active, she was very interested in needlework such as embroidery. She was only six years old, but the embroidery she made was already quite good.

"Grandpa, I'll go first!"

Yang Qingwan said to Yang Zhengshan, and followed the female shopkeeper out of the box, while Yang Zhengshan sat in the box and tasted tea leisurely.

The tea in Jinxiufang was the top-grade Yunwuchun, which Luo Shang bought from Qizhou.

It tasted clear and slightly bitter at first, but the aftertaste was sweet and mellow. Yang Zhengshan liked the aftertaste of Yunwuchun very much.

He carefully tasted the aftertaste of Yunwuchun, and looked at the street outside the window casually.

In two years, Anyuan City has changed a lot. Just looking at this street, you can see many differences. For example, there is almost no broken bluestone on the ground, and there are no beggars on the street.

Most of the credit belongs to Lin Shoude, and of course Yang Zhengshan also has a part in it.

The prosperity of the military households will also affect the economic prosperity of the entire Anyuan City.

In addition to the military households, Yang Zhengshan also gave Lin Shoude a lot of ideas.

For example, in dealing with beggars, Yang Zhengshan suggested that Lin Shoude gather the beggars in the city together, allocate wasteland to those with healthy limbs, and place the old, weak, and disabled in the orphanage, find some light work for them, such as weaving baskets and mats, and try to let them have their own income.

As for the wandering teenagers, let the merchants in the city take them back to work as clerks, just give them food, and the government will be responsible for supervision to avoid abuse.

Although such placement cannot make these beggars completely worry-free, it is better than begging everywhere in the city.

Of course, there are some lazy beggars, especially those with healthy limbs. When they were given wasteland, they ate the seeds and sold the farm tools. Yang Zhengshan proposed to Lin Shoude to reform through labor.

Road construction and city wall construction require a lot of manpower, and such people are free labor.

At first, Lin Shoude only asked Yang Zhengshan for advice every now and then, but as Yang Zhengshan gave more and more advice, Lin Shoude habitually went to Yang Zhengshan every time he encountered a problem, which made Yang Zhengshan a little annoyed with this guy.

You are the governor, and I am the garrison commander. It should be your official duty to govern the people, but you come to me for help every day. What? Do you want me to be the governor?

Although he felt that Lin Shoude was annoying, Yang Zhengshan was still very pleased that Lin Shoude could govern Anyuan City so prosperously.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was looking at the busy streets, a commotion suddenly came from outside the box.

"You dare not give me something I like?"

"Believe it or not, I will smash your Jinxiufang!"

An arrogant voice came from outside, and Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows.

Smashed Jinxiufang?

There is such a powerful existence in Anyuan City?

Everyone in Anyuan City knows that the Luo family and the Yang family have a close relationship, and everyone knows that Jinxiufang is a place that the garrison commander takes care of.

In the past two years, most of those who dared to make trouble in Jinxiufang or dared to cause trouble in Jinxiufang have moved bricks on the construction site.

The noise continued, and it seemed that they really wanted to smash Jinxiufang!

Yang Zhengshan stood up, walked out of the box slowly, came to the stairs, and looked towards the lobby on the first floor.

I saw that the lobby was in a mess, and many followers in blue shorts were smashing the fabrics and embroidery on the counter, and the customers of Jinxiufang had already run away, leaving only the female waiters hiding in the corner.

A young man in a purple gown stood in the middle of the lobby, looking proudly at the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang. Next to the young man was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright white teeth, but a somewhat embarrassed look.

The female shopkeeper of Jinxiufang protected Yang Qingwan behind her, with a red and swollen cheek, obviously beaten.

As for Yang Qingwan, the girl stared at the young man with anger on her face, and shouted: "You bastard, you dare to act wild in front of me! Chunhua, why are you still standing there, beat him for me!"

Yang Zhengshan, who was about to walk down the stairs, froze when he heard this, and looked at the little girl Yang Qingwan with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Good granddaughter, when did you learn to order servants to beat people?

Look at this posture, this style, and this speech, it is really no worse than the young man opposite, both of them are very dandy.

Chunhua is the maidservant beside Wang. When Chunhua came to the Yang family, she was still a maidservant of 13 or 14 years old. But now Chunhua is the most capable assistant beside Wang.

But being capable is not enough. Don't forget that the servants of the Yang family have to practice martial arts. The servants who entered the Yang family two years ago are now all warriors. Chunhua, as the earliest batch of servants in the Yang family, has reached the acquired realm.

So there is a reason why Yang Qingwan asked Chunhua to take action, because she knows that Chunhua is very powerful.

But Chunhua did not take action at this time. She and the female shopkeeper protected Yang Qingwan behind them, and looked at the young man and the followers in front of them vigilantly.

"Miss!"

She patted Yang Qingwan's shoulders gently.

And behind her there are two little girls, trembling and grabbing Yang Qingwan's clothes, for fear that Yang Qingwan will rush out.

These two little girls are the girls beside Yang Qingwan, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old. They usually follow Yang Qingwan.

"Where did you come from, you wild girl? How dare you scold me? Do you know who I am?"

The young man stared at Yang Qingwan with a fierce look.

"Who are you?"

Yang Zhengshan walked down the stairs and asked the young man calmly.

The young man was slightly stunned when he saw Yang Zhengshan. Perhaps he didn't expect that someone would dare to meddle in other people's business at this time.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business?"

"I am the garrison commander of Anyuan City!"

Yang Zhengshan walked up to the young man and said calmly: "Who are you? A royal relative? Or a noble?"

There are no royal relatives in Anyuan City.

Yang Zhengshan announced his identity, but the young man was still not afraid. Instead, he said with a sneer on his face: "A small garrison commander dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me!"

"I am not a royal relative. I am the seventh son of the Marquis of Jingyuan!"

Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Marquis of Jingyuan!

He is really a son of a noble!

No wonder he dares to be so arrogant.

Anyuan City is just a small place, and a young man from a marquis's mansion is indeed qualified to be arrogant here.

But why did the people from Jingyuan Marquis's mansion come here?

It seems that no one from Jingyuan Marquis's mansion is working in Chongshan Town.

"Marquis Jingyuan!" Yang Zhengshan looked at the young man and girl with a scrutinizing look!

The young man was dressed in rich clothes, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist was obviously not an ordinary item. The followers around him were also warriors, and they were obviously from an extraordinary family.

Although the girl had a beautiful appearance, her clothes were very ordinary, just a plain white silk skirt.

Feeling Yang Zhengshan's gaze, the girl bowed and said, "Ning Qing of the Qing'an Marquis's mansion greets the garrison commander!"

Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

Qing'an Marquis!

My god, there is really a royal relative here.

The Qing'an Marquis's Mansion is the mother-in-law's family of the Emperor Chengping, that is, the Empress's family. However, the Empress died ten years ago, and the Qing'an Marquis' Mansion is not as rich and powerful as the Shouguo Duke's Mansion. Therefore, among the nobles, the Qing'an Marquis is a marginal figure. Apart from the title of Earl, he has almost no power.

But no matter what, the Qing'an Marquis' Mansion is the Empress's family, and the current Qing'an Marquis is the father-in-law of the emperor.

And the young lady of the Qing'an Marquis' Mansion in front of him is a genuine royal relative.

Yang Zhengshan was a little confused. What did this royal relative do in Anyuan City?

A young man from the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion and a young lady from the Qing'an Marquis' Mansion came to Anyuan City. What was their purpose?

Just when Yang Zhengshan was confused, the young man next to him said impatiently: "That Lord Yang, you are here just in time. Help me smash this Jinxiufang. I will do you a favor!"

"..."

Yang Zhengshan looked at this young man speechlessly.

"Come here!"

He was too lazy to talk to such a fool.

"Sir!"

Han Fei immediately walked in from the door.

"Catch them, send them to the construction site outside the city to move bricks!"

What about Jingyuan Marquis?

To put it bluntly, this is Chongshan Town, not Kyoto. In Kyoto, Yang Zhengshan still has to take into account the face of Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, but here, the county magistrate is worse than the current one!

If this kid is the son of Changping Marquis Mansion, Yang Zhengshan will send this kid to Chongshan Pass in a gentle manner without saying anything.

Because Changping Marquis Liang Chu is the general of Chongshan Town, no matter how powerful Yang Zhengshan is, he can't not give Liang Chu face.

When the young man heard this, he was furious, "You dare!"

The followers around him stopped smashing things, gathered around the young man, and looked at the guards pouring in from outside with vigilance.

Yang Zhengshan ignored the shouting boy and swept his followers around him with indifference.

"What? You want to fight me in Anyuan City?"

The followers paused. Fighting Yang Zhengshan, the garrison commander, in Anyuan City, isn't that courting death?

Maybe Yang Zhengshan didn't dare to do anything to their young master, but he definitely dared to kill them.

"Young master!"

An older follower pulled the boy's sleeve.

The boy's face flushed, and his eyes stared at Yang Zhengshan like fire.

"Wait for me!"

"Wait for nothing, take him away! If you dare to resist, just kill him!" Yang Zhengshan said impatiently.

He didn't have any good feelings for this kind of noble son.

In fact, there are good children of nobles, such as Zhao Yuan, and there are also many children of nobles in Chongshan Pass, such as Liang Chu's sons and grandsons, and Yang Zhengshan has never heard of the rumors that the son of the Marquis of Changping is bullying and dominating.

So whether this child of nobles is good or not depends on whether the family education is strict.
