Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

The matter between Wu Zhan and Yu Lu will soon come to an end. Yu Lu knows Wu Zhan, and she did not refuse to marry Wu Zhan.

Although she is not familiar with Wu Zhan, she knows that Wu Zhan is a good person.

Being a good person is enough, there is no good person card here.

For Yulu, it is a blessing to have a home.

She was lucky to come to the Yang family, lucky to meet Yu Qingyi, and lucky to marry Wu Zhan.

What she longs for most is not wealth or grandeur, but a peaceful home.

"My slave, thank you, madam!"

In the main courtyard room, Yulu knelt on the ground and thanked her gratefully.

Before meeting Yang Zhengshan, her heart was desperate. At that time, she seemed to have seen her tragic fate in the future and became the plaything of some big shot.

When she saw Yang Zhengshan, she felt even more desperate because she felt that her tragic fate was about to begin.

However, after coming to the Yang family, the despair in her heart was gradually dissipating. Yang Zhengshan's ignoring of her was her hope.

Later, Yu Qingyi married Yang Zhengshan, and Yang Zhengshan handed her over to Yu Qingyi. She seemed to have ushered in a new life.

There is no more despair in my heart, I just want peace.

In the past few years, she had lived peacefully in the Yang family.

And now, she is about to get married.

There was even more desire in her heart.

The desire for a home of one's own.

"Get up quickly!" Yu Qingyi helped her up and said softly: "Since you are willing, then I will be a matchmaker for you!"

"Wu Zhan is my junior brother. He usually seems to be a carefree person, but don't worry, he must be a family man!"

Yu Qingyi said, and at the same time took out Yulu's deed of sale, "You will be free from now on, and you started as a legal wife!"

"Thank you, madam!" Yulu shed two lines of tears, she was happy.

They both agreed, and the rest was easy.

As senior sister and mistress, Yu Qingyi naturally arranged their marriage herself.

However, before their marriage, Yu Qingyi had to arrange another marriage, that of Song Hao and Wang Yunqiao.

Song Hao and Wang Yunqiao have been engaged for a long time. Wang Yunqiao has turned sixteen this year, so the date of getting married should be put on the agenda.

But Yang Zhengshan didn't need to worry about these things. Yu Qingyi made the final decision on everything at home, and he still focused on his official duties.

On the third day after the first batch of cotton cloth arrived, the second batch of cotton cloth also arrived at Tenglongwei.

The two batches of cotton cloth greatly alleviated Tenglongwei's demand for cotton cloth, and the cotton cloth was quickly distributed to military households.

The military households looked at the brand new cotton cloth and felt a little more confident about Yang Zhengshan, the new commander.

Although Yang Zhengshan has only been in office for two months, with the arrival of Yang Zhengshan, the lives of military households have already shown many differences.

It was the first time they received grain distributed by the government, the first time they received cotton cloth given by the government, and the first time they experienced the attention and care from the government.

Food, cotton cloth, strengthening houses, building igloos, piece by piece, made all military households feel a different kind of care.

It also gave them more respect and feeling for Yang Zhengshan.

The military households of Tenglongwei can be divided into three parts. The first part is the military households of Tenglongwei in the past. They had the best life in the past. At least they had no problem with food and clothing. But don't expect the Lan family to be lenient to them. In the eyes of the Lan family, there is actually no difference between them and those slaves.

The second part is the slaves of the Lan family. These slaves are most grateful to Yang Zhengshan now because Yang Zhengshan got rid of their slave status. This alone is enough for them to be grateful to Yang Zhengshan.

The third part is the military households of the other three guards. Their lives were the hardest before. Although they were military households, their lives were not as good as those of the slaves.

In fact, no matter which department they were in, Yang Zhengshan treated everyone equally, and the grain and cotton distributed were distributed to each household.

It is precisely for this reason that these three types of people are extremely grateful to Yang Zhengshan, the new commander.

However, there are also people who are dissatisfied with Yang Zhengshan, those officials who were dismissed by Yang Zhengshan.

It's just that they are unable to fight against Yang Zhengshan and are full of awe of Yang Zhengshan, so they can only hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts and dare not show it at all.

And Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to pay attention to them. As time went by, these officials had completely lost their usefulness. He was now at most an ordinary citizen of the Acropolis.

As for transferring the Tenglong Guards, that is even more impossible. Yang Zhengshan will not care about them, and the Chinese Army Governor's Office will not care about them.

In the study, Yang Zhengshan is planning for next year.

Now that the framework of Tenglong Guard has been set up, and the military households in each thousand-household office of each guard have been deployed, all that is needed is to get familiar with each other before the Wei Si Yamen and each thousand-household office can operate normally.

Although there is still one and a half months until the New Year's Day, Yang Zhengshan has no plans to do anything before the New Year. The main reason is that the military households of Tenglongwei have been poor for a long time and cannot stand the hardship. They need time to cultivate for a period of time.

After the Chinese New Year, Yang Zhengshan planned to radically transform Tenglong Wei.

The first step is to give money and food. Money and food are the foundation of everything. If you have food in your hands, you will not panic. Only by allowing military households to have enough money and food in their hands can they truly make changes.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan would not give the next money and food in vain.

He planned to hire military households to build the Acropolis and Qianhu Station. Simply put, it was to use work in exchange for relief.

The construction of houses will start at the end of February and end at the end of March, so as not to delay the spring plowing in April.

It may not be possible to complete all the construction tasks in about a month, but it doesn't matter. After the spring plowing is over, we can continue to hire military households to continue the construction.

The second thing is to improve the efficiency and harvest of the military households' farming. The efficiency can be improved by making more farm tools and allocating more oxen, and the harvest of farming can be increased by increasing farmyard manure.

Farm tools need blacksmiths and carpenters to make, which requires iron ore.

Iron ore is easy to get. As the commander of Tenglong Guard, Yang Zhengshan can purchase or apply for iron ore from the Dusi Yamen.

Blacksmiths and carpenters are also easy to get. Tenglong Guard does not have them, but Anyuan City Garrison Office has them.

When Yang Zhengshan was in Anyuan City, he trained many blacksmiths and carpenters, and the Garrison Office also had a production line for the manufacture of weapons and armor.

Although he could not turn the blacksmiths and carpenters of Anyuan City into craftsmen of Tenglong Guard, he could borrow them for a period of time, and I believe Han Cheng would not refuse.

As for oxen, there is no good way to buy them. You can only spend money to buy them. Luo Shang had already disposed of the oxen of the Yang family. Now we can just buy some more.

Chongshan Town is not short of oxen now, and the price of oxen is much cheaper.

So now is a good time to buy oxen.

As for farmyard manure, this is actually a method of using grass and wood to make manure. It was not thought up by Yang Zhengshan, but proposed by a tenant of Yang's farm.

However, after the tenant proposed it, Yang Zhengshan also added some opinions.

The method is very simple, which is to use rotten grass and wood mixed with feces for fermentation.

Because there is too little feces, both military households and farmers are very short of farmyard manure.

However, if weeds, leaves and other plants can be used for composting, the amount of farmyard manure can undoubtedly be greatly increased.

In fact, this method is not uncommon. Some people still use this method, but no one has summarized it or promoted it, so these methods of composting can only be circulated in a small range.

Last year, Yang Zhengshan had already promoted it in the Yang family's farm, and the effect of the promotion was very good, with the harvest increasing by almost 10%.

Now that he has come to Tenglongwei, he naturally wants to promote this method.

The third thing is to train soldiers, including armor forging, warhorse procurement, soldier training and so on.

Armor forging and warhorse procurement can be prepared now, while soldier training can only be carried out after the spring plowing is over.

These three things can be interspersed or carried out at the same time, and each plan must be carried out in full swing.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and felt that there were still many things to do before the New Year.

The first is to purchase iron ore. Whether it is to build farm tools or armor, a large amount of iron ore is needed.

The second is to buy oxen. You can also go to Chongshan Town to buy them first. You can't wait until tomorrow when spring plowing is about to start. Buying them at that time may delay things.

As for the warhorse, there is no need to rush. You can't use it if you buy it early. The key is to keep it. Tenglongwei doesn't have so many stables to raise horses, so it's not too late to buy them after the stables are built.

Other things can also be prepared in advance. Send someone to talk to Han Cheng first and ask him to select a group of blacksmiths and carpenters. After the New Year, let these blacksmiths and carpenters come.

Yang Zhengshan wrote down one thing after another on paper. Since many things were thought of temporarily, they were written in a messy way.

Of course, he also missed a lot of things, but it doesn’t matter. He will always remember them after thinking about them a few more times. Even if he can’t remember them, after he lists the general plan, his subordinates will help him think together.

Just when Yang Zhengshan was thinking about whether there were any omissions, Wu Zhan hurried to the study.

"Master, something happened!" Wu Zhan said in a somewhat anxious voice.

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and asked in surprise: "What happened?"

What could happen?

It seems that nothing serious will happen to Tenglongwei now.

Wu Zhan's face is not very good, "Our third batch of cotton cloth was robbed!"

Yang Zhengshan frowned.

Three batches of cotton cloth, the first batch was brought back by Wu Zhan himself, the second batch was also shipped three days ago, and the third batch should be shipped in the next two days.

He had thought that the problem of cotton clothes and quilts for the military households would be solved after the third batch of cotton cloth was shipped.

Unexpectedly, it was robbed!

"Who robbed it!"

"Yuheng swordsman Huang Yifu!" Wu Zhan said in a deep voice.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him inexplicably, not understanding who Huang Yifu he was talking about.

"Master, have you ever heard of Xingyuemen?" Wu Zhan asked.

"I have heard of it. It is said that this Xingyuemen is a very large force in the world."

Yang Zhengshan is no longer a white man who knows nothing about the world. He has heard of many forces in the world, and Yu Qingyi often tells him some things in the world.
