Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

King Cheng chuckled, "Am I that naive?"

"I mean we only have one chance to succeed!"

Prince Gong's face was as dark as water, "If this continues, we won't even have a chance to choose!"

King Cheng thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, you are right. The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for us! The prince is the prince, and he is always one step ahead of us!"

"The later we take this step, the worse we will lose!"

"So? Are you ready?" Prince Gong asked.

"The preparations are complete, but what is the third brother planning to do?" King Cheng asked.

Prince Gong showed a sneer, "Kill Yang Zhengshan first!"

King Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed with relief, "Hahaha, interesting, interesting, but it's a pity for the sixth brother!"

"Can you please stop mentioning that idiot!" Prince Gong said disdainfully.

King Cheng said with a smile: "The third brother is still smart, he actually thought of killing Yang Zhengshan first!"

Prince Gong paused. There were three things he hated most.

Father's examination.

The prince's concern.

King Cheng’s praise.

The first two are easy to understand. His father's test made him feel intimidated, the prince's concern made him feel hypocritical, and King Cheng's praise made him feel ridiculed.

King Cheng was obviously praising him for being smart, but he just felt that King Cheng was calling him stupid.

"Didn't the prince want us to kill Yang Zhengshan?" Prince Gong said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, the prince just wants us to kill Yang Zhengshan to prevent him from trying to win over the generals of Bianzhen through the title of nobility! Haha, maybe he is waiting for us to kill Yang Zhengshan now so that we can be punished!" King Cheng Her face is like a peach blossom and her smile is bright.

In terms of handsomeness, King Cheng can be called a handsome man.

Although he is now over forty years old, his appearance is still ridiculously handsome.

Especially when he smiles, he always gives people an otherworldly feeling.

It's that cynical smile.

"Since the prince wants it, why don't we give it to him!" Prince Gong said in a low voice.

King Cheng smiled casually and said: "That's right, we will act according to his wishes!"

The two looked at each other, both showing enigmatic smiles.

…

Chongshan Town, Chongshanguan.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan did not know what was happening in Kyoto, and he did not expect that he would be made a marquis.

After the Forbidden Army handed over the prisoners to Chongshan Town, he left Guanshan Pass and came to Chongshan Pass.

At this time, Chongshanguan has regained a somewhat bustling atmosphere. Although it is far less than before, the shops on the street are already open, and many military households from the surrounding areas come into the city to purchase goods.

Yang Zhengshan rode into Guancheng with his guard battalion, and the people on the street looked at him with reverence.

The news that he is the new commander-in-chief of Chongshan Town has long been spread in Chongshan Town, and during this period, news of his consecutive victories has also spread. Even the Battle of Guanshan Pass has spread, which made his reputation rise in a short period of time. Reached a peak within.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the civilians and military households on both sides of the street, without showing too many expressions or expressing anything. He just nodded slightly when he saw a figure.

What he saw was none other than Luo Shang.

Luo Shang is back from Jiangnan!

That's right.

Such a big thing happened in Chongshan Town. The entire Luo family was almost wiped out. It was strange that Luo Shang didn't rush back after receiving the news.

But at this time, Luo Shang looked at Yang Zhengshan and his heart surged. He especially wanted to stand on the street and shout, "Who else is there?"

With Yang Zhengshan in charge of Chongshan Town, the status of the Luo family has naturally increased.

When Ji Feiyu came to power, the Luo family suffered a lot of restrictions, forcing Luo Shang to expand its business territory outside Chongshan Town.

Now it is Yang Zhengshan's turn to take power in Chongshan Town. From today on, the Luo family is the largest wealthy businessman in Chongshan Town.

Thinking about the future status of the Luo family in Chongshan Town, Luo Shang's heart beat with excitement.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know the excitement in Luo Shang's heart. He quickly passed through Guancheng and entered the second gate of Guancheng.

As mentioned before, the overall layout of Chongshanguan is a "Japanese" character. Beicheng is the original pass fortress. The governor's office, general military office, Dusi office, inspection department, etc. are all in Beicheng district, and there are also those responsible for garrisoning. Most of the soldiers are also in Beicheng District.

Nancheng was later expanded and was also called Guancheng. It was a living and commercial area for the people. At the same time, some Yamen officials also lived in Nancheng.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan does not need to live in Nancheng, because he can live in the backyard of the General Military Mansion, which is the original Changping Marquis Mansion.

When Yang Zhengshan arrived at the General Military Mansion, Zhou Ren and Lu Wenhua were already standing outside the door waiting.

When Yang Zhengshan led his troops to leave Chongshanguan, he wrote a letter asking Zhou Ren and Lu Wenhua to come to Chongshanguan to reorganize the General Military Mansion.

There was no way, after Ji Feiyu's defeat and escape, the Chongshan Town General Military Mansion became an empty shell. Even if there were some civil servants left, Yang Zhengshan did not dare to use them, so he could only transfer people from Tenglong Guard.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of civil servants in Tenglong Guard now. There is no problem in recruiting two to three hundred civil servants. Even if Yang Zhengshan is willing, he can recruit thousands of civil servants in Tenglong Guard at any time.

The reason is very simple. Tenglongwei has cultivated a large number of scholars in recent years. Although these scholars will definitely not be able to participate in the imperial examination, it is still easy to handle some document matters in the yamen.

"Greetings, General!" Zhou Ren and Lu Wenhua clasped their fists and saluted.

Yang Zhengshan dismounted, looked up at the gate of the General's Mansion, and asked casually: "How is the situation?"

"Replying to the general, the eight departments and twelve rooms of the General's Mansion have all been fully staffed, and everyone is familiar with their work!" Zhou Ren replied.

Yang Zhengshan nodded with satisfaction.

The General's Mansion has eight departments, namely money and grain, horse administration, military armor, carriages, military selection, reward, military registration, and border defense.

As for the twelve rooms, there are accounts, official certificates, ceremonial guards, seal inspections, martial arts, etc.

The eight departments are the authority agencies of the General's Mansion, and each department has one left and right official, who is a seventh-rank official.

The twelve rooms are the assistant group of the General's Mansion. Simply put, the twelve rooms serve the general and handle various daily government affairs for the general.

For example, the account room, the account refers to the accounts within the General's Mansion, and the registration also refers to the native place of officials within the General's Mansion.

The accounts of the entire Chongshan Town are managed by the Money and Grain Department, the military registration of the camp soldiers is managed by the Military Registration Department, and the household registration of the military households is managed by the Dusi Yamen, not by the General's Office.

Of course, the Dusi Yamen is under the jurisdiction of the General's Office.

In terms of authority, the General is the highest officer of Chongshan Town and can intervene in all military and political affairs of Chongshan Town.

Responsible for training, leading and mobilizing troops, it can be said that the power of leading and mobilizing troops is in one hand, and some powers are exclusive.

This also means that the General has the possibility of dominating one side and holding troops, so the court established a governor.

The powers of the Governor and the General have a great overlap. The Governor also has the right to intervene in all military and political affairs, and can also train, lead and mobilize troops. Even the legitimacy of the Governor's mobilization is higher than that of the General, because most of the Governors hold the positions of the Censorate and the Ministry of War.

But the Governor is a civil servant, and is definitely not as good as the General in military affairs.

The Governor and the General are actually mutually coordinated and restrained.

There is another role in this, that is the eunuch who guards the town, which can also be called the eunuch who supervises the army.

The existence of the eunuch who guards the town further limits the possibility of the governor and the general colluding with each other, and more effectively avoids the border town generals who are self-reliant and cannot be eliminated.

Of course, the disadvantage is that it is easy to form a situation where three forces compete for power.

However, there is definitely no such problem in Chongshan Town now. Pang Tang is ready to be the logistics supervisor. After he entered Chongshan Pass, he has already focused on the civil affairs of Chongshan Town.

In fact, there are still many things to do in the civil affairs of Chongshan Town. After all, there are not only military households in Chongshan Town, but also more than 100,000 farmers, merchants, craftsmen, etc.

In addition, Fuzhou has been emigrating and reclaiming wasteland.

Ji Feiyu's rebellion brought great losses to Chongshan Town. In order to make up for these losses, Pang Tang has to spend a lot of effort.

Similarly, Yang Zhengshan has many problems to face.
