Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Does everyone in the family have to move to Kyoto?" Yu Qingyi continued to ask.

"Mingzhi and Minghao will definitely stay in Chongshan Town. As for Li and Liang, you can ask their opinions."

This time, Yang Zhengshan naturally couldn't bring a large group of soldiers back to Beijing. In addition to the Yang family, he could only bring the personal guard camp.

He couldn't arrange positions for everyone in Kyoto, so Yang Mingzhi, Yang Minghao, Yang Mingwu, Yang Mingzhen and others had to stay in Chongshan Town.

Yu Qingyi nodded, "Alas, in this case, the children will be separated!"

She was a little reluctant to leave the children at home.

Although sometimes she felt that these little guys were noisy, she would definitely miss them if they were separated.

She was a serious grandmother, and her feelings for the children were genuine.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, "Don't worry, Mingzhi and Minghao won't leave all the children behind."

Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao were not stupid, so how could they not know the benefits of letting the children follow Yang Zhengshan.

Maybe they will take the young children with them, but when the children grow up, they will definitely be sent to Kyoto.

"That's right, but after arriving in Kyoto, we have to hire a good teacher for the children! The teachers at home will definitely not follow us to Kyoto!" Yu Qingyi said.

"Well, you can arrange these. We are leaving, and we can't ignore the teachers at home. You find a yard in the city and build a school for them!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The Yang family has six teachers, all of whom are older scholars.

However, they teach not only the children of the Yang family, but also the children of many officials in the city, such as Song Dashan, Luo Feiyu, Yang Mingzhen, Yang Mingwu, etc.

So even if the Yang family moves away, these six teachers will not be unemployed.

Then Yang Zhengshan discussed many things with Yu Qingyi.

...

The thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yang Zhengshan's promotion documents were finally delivered to Chongshan Pass, and the news that Yang Zhengshan was about to leave Chongshan Town could no longer be concealed.

For a time, the officialdom of Chongshan Town was shaken, and the soldiers of Chongshan Pass also became panic-stricken.

The impact of Yang Zhengshan's departure from Chongshan Town was very huge.

From the General's Mansion to the various generals' shogunate and various government offices, to the town's five camps, six major agents, etc., they will all be affected.

And Yang Zhengshan has a lot of things to do.

The silver owed by the General's Mansion, nearly one million refugees who have just been resettled, and many policies and plans that have been formulated, as well as glass workshops, etc.

If these things are not arranged properly, they may cause unrest.

Take the silver owed by the General's Mansion, which is more than 15 million taels. Many merchants in Liaodong, soldiers, military households, and civilians in Chongshan Town have a share.

If it cannot be repaid, Yang Zhengshan's reputation for benevolence will instantly become a bad reputation!

And those refugees have just been accepted and resettled, and the subsequent management and reclamation of wasteland are the top priority.

The glass workshop involves huge interests. With Yang Zhengshan, no one dares to reach out to the glass workshop, but if Yang Zhengshan leaves, no one can guarantee whether the glass workshop can continue to be maintained.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan can be said to be involved in the interests of the entire Chongshan Town with his own body.

Once Yang Zhengshan moves, the entire Chongshan Town will move.

It has to be said that Emperor Yanping's approach this time is really inappropriate!

Perhaps Emperor Yanping did not know that Yang Zhengshan would have such a great influence on Chongshan Town!

In his heart, Yang Zhengshan is probably no different from the generals of other border towns, but in fact, Yang Zhengshan is very different from the generals of other border towns.

The generals of other border towns may also have a strong control over their soldiers, but they definitely do not have so many interests involved.

In order to stabilize the situation in Chongshan Town, Yang Zhengshan had to get busy again.

After arranging the military officials who came to deliver the dispatch documents, Yang Zhengshan immediately summoned his generals to hold a meeting in the lobby of the general's mansion.

In the hall, Yang Zhengshan sat in the main seat and drank tea slowly.

Six lieutenant generals, five guerrilla generals and five camp officers, a total of sixteen people sat in the hall with solemn faces.

Yang Zhengshan saw them like this, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Okay, although this matter came a little suddenly, you don't have to worry too much!"

"Chongshan Town will not be in chaos, and you will not be transferred. What you should do next is still the same!"

Yang Zhengshan said in a flat tone.

"My Lord, what should we do in the future?" Xie Yuan was still worried.

How could they not worry?

Especially Xie Yuan, he is Yang Zhengshan's confidant, and was promoted by Yang Zhengshan.

Without Yang Zhengshan, he felt like he had lost his roots.

And other people's thoughts were different.

The children of the Yang family naturally wanted to follow Yang Zhengshan. In order to follow Yang Zhengshan, Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze and others deliberately left the imperial army three years ago.

Now, Yang Zhengshan is going to Kyoto, while they have to stay in Chongshan Town.

Niu Zhuang, Tang Feihu, Zhang Chengzhi, and Qin He, although they are a little distant from Yang Zhengshan, are also willing to follow him.

Although Yang Zhengshan has many requirements and many tasks assigned to them, which sometimes makes them feel extremely headache, Yang Zhengshan has an advantage, that is, he has never placed people under their command.

Yang Zhengshan did not place people under their command, which means that he would not take away their power, nor would he let them intrigue with their subordinates all day long.

Working under Yang Zhengshan may be a little tiring, but it is very worry-free.

The four people in Niuzhuang have a deep understanding of this. After all, they were under Ji Feiyu's command at the beginning. At that time, Ji Feiyu wanted to sideline all of their generals.

In order to appease everyone, Yang Zhengshan did not keep them in suspense and said directly: "General Zhou Lan will take over the position of the general. You must believe in General Zhou Lan's ability!"

After that, he looked at Niuzhuang.

Niuzhuang was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.

"Don't worry, even if I leave Chongshan Town, I will not ignore Chongshan Town."

"When General Zhou comes, you must cooperate with her as before. I won't say much about how to do it. I believe you should know it in your heart!"

"I have only two requirements for you. First, don't let Chongshan Town have unrest. Second, obey General Zhou Lan's orders. If anyone dares to disobey, you should know my temper!"

Yang Zhengshan grinned, and the sharpness in his eyes made everyone shudder.

Everyone bowed and obeyed, and quickly expressed that they would obey General Zhou Lan's orders.

Seeing that they were no longer worried, Yang Zhengshan let them go for the time being.

After they left, Yang Zhengshan summoned the officials of the General's Mansion to hold a meeting.

This time when Yang Zhengshan returned to Beijing, he couldn't even take Lu Wenhua with him. As for whether Zhou Lan would use Lu Wenhua, Yang Zhengshan didn't worry at all.

Zhou Lan would most likely use Lu Wenhua, because Lu Wenhua was very capable. It was not easy to be the general manager of the General's Mansion. Lu Wenhua could manage the many rooms and departments of the General's Mansion in an orderly manner, which was enough to prove his ability.

Even if Zhou Lan didn't use Lu Wenhua and arranged his own people to manage the General's Mansion, Yang Zhengshan believed that Zhou Lan would give Lu Wenhua a proper arrangement.

After the meeting with the officials of the General's Mansion, Yang Zhengshan met with Pang Tang again.

Pang Tang was also worried. He was going to make great achievements in Chongshan Town. If Yang Zhengshan left Chongshan Town, the great achievements he wanted would probably be abandoned halfway.

In order to calm people's hearts, Yang Zhengshan first appeased Pang Tang, and then summoned the main officials of the Dusi Yamen, the Provincial Administration and the Provincial Inspection Office to hold a meeting.

Within one day, Yang Zhengshan held three meetings in a row, barely stabilizing everyone.

In the following days, Yang Zhengshan frequently held meetings with everyone, and the mood was stabilized, but Yang Zhengshan had to decide on the subsequent plans before leaving Chongshan Town.

For example, the road construction plan initially formulated by Yang Zhengshan has now been built for less than half, and the remaining half will continue to be started next year.

For example, Yang Zhengshan plans to set up the Black Cloud Guard Lieutenant General's Office in the northwest of Chongshan Town, and add a lieutenant general. It is necessary to set up four to five guards in the west of Black Cloud Mountain and relocate more than 20,000 military households.

According to Yang Zhengshan's idea, in two to three years, Chongshan Town should enter the western part of Beidi, that is, the grassland connected to the Wulianghu tribe.

He planned to build a super-large horse farm in the western part of Beidi. For this horse farm, he also wanted to add another lieutenant general, relocate four to six guards, and then build a garrison, step by step, to erode the living space of the Wulianghu tribe.

If Yang Zhengshan's plan is implemented, Chongshan Town will become a border town with eight lieutenants generals and 150,000 soldiers in ten years.

At that time, Yang Zhengshan can unite with Beiyuan Town to drive the Wulianghu tribe to the desert northwest of Beidi or Darong.

This is a ten-year plan that Yang Zhengshan had thought of a long time ago.

Unfortunately, he can only ask Zhou Lan to complete it now, and he doesn't know if Zhou Lan can do it well.

He doesn't doubt Zhou Lan's ability, but Zhou Lan does not have the assistance of Lingquan water, and many things will definitely not be as good as Yang Zhengshan.

At this point, Yang Zhengshan had no choice but to convey his ideas to the soldiers and officials of Chongshan Town as much as possible, hoping that they could train Zhou Lan to complete his plan.

On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Zhengshan received a reply from Zhou Lan, in which Zhou Lan stated that she would manage Chongshan Town according to his plan. At the same time, Zhou Lan also said that she would set off to Chongshan Town after the New Year and was expected to arrive in Chongshan Town in the late first lunar month.

After receiving Zhou Lan's reply, Yang Zhengshan felt more relaxed.

As for the court, it was still calm. There was not much attention paid to the transfer of Yang Zhengshan back to Kyoto and the appointment of Zhou Lan as the general of Chongshan Town.

Among the nine borders of Darong, Chongshan Town's status was not high, and it could barely be ranked in the middle. Although Yang Zhengshan had made great military achievements, he had never stayed in Kyoto after all, and had never attended a morning court.

Therefore, the civil and military officials in the court did not pay much attention to him.

In this regard, Yang Zhengshan was also helpless. He was not in Kyoto, and many things were inconvenient to do.

For example, this time Emperor Yanping transferred him back to Kyoto. By the time he got the news, the matter had already been settled. If he was in Kyoto, he might be able to mediate.

Time passed day by day, and the Yang family ushered in a new year.

The first day of the first lunar month in the second year of Yanping.

Yang Zhengshan called Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao to the study.

He was too busy these days and didn't have a good chat with his two sons.

In the study, Yang Zhengshan sat on one side, and Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao sat on the other side of the coffee table.

"I won't say much about other things, you all know what you should know!"

"Today I have two things to tell you!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at the two brothers with a calm look.

The two brothers felt his gaze and immediately became serious, pretending to listen carefully.

Seeing them like this, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but smile a little.

"The first thing! In fact, you should all know it!"

"Our Yang family is now a noble family, but there is only one title, and that belongs to your eldest brother. Both of you brothers know it!"

Yang Mingzhi nodded slightly, "Dad, we understand!"

The succession of titles is generally inherited by the eldest son. Unless the eldest son dies in infancy, it will be the turn of other brothers.

As for the honorable family, in order to compete for the right to inherit the title, there have been countless cases of brotherly murder.

Yang Zhengshan is very happy that there is no such thing happening in the Yang family at present, not even a hint.

Neither the two brothers Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao nor the two sisters-in-law Li and Liang did anything they shouldn't have done because of this.

Of course, the most important thing is that even Yu Qingyi has never thought about competing for the title of Ming Zhao.

Yang Zhengshan never thought about letting Ming Zhao inherit the title. First, because of the order of seniority and youth. If he did, the Yang family would first fall apart. The second is that Yang Zhengshan has other arrangements for Ming Zhao. The power and wealth in this world are just superficial. The real foundation is his own cultivation and strength.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and continued: "As for your eldest brother, he will stay in Kyoto from now on. You also know his temperament. He still wants to take care of family affairs. As for other things, it is better not to let him get involved."

Honest children are easy to suffer. Yang Mingcheng's honest temper is really not suitable for officialdom. Even if he is in Kyoto, he will not get involved in court affairs. It is best for him to practice at home honestly and become an innate warrior as soon as possible. planning.

"As for you, I will take care of you in Kyoto from now on, but you have to walk your own path in the future!"

Yang Mingzhi is already capable of taking charge of his own business, while Yang Minghao is still a little less mature, but it's about the same.

In the past, everyone was in Chongshan Town or Liaodong. Even if they were separated, Yang Zhengshan could take care of them. In the future, Yang Zhengshan would stay in Kyoto, and there is a high probability that he would stay in Chongshan Town or be transferred to other border towns, maybe several. I haven't seen him for years.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan inevitably had to give them a few words of advice.

"Don't worry, Dad, my second brother and I will take care of ourselves!" Yang Minghao grinned.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him, his eyes couldn't help but become misty.

He remembered the first time he met Yang Minghao. At that time, Yang Minghao was still a boy and an apprentice in a blacksmith shop.

At that time, Yang Minghao was dark, thin, and dirty.

And now he has turned into a burly and tall general!
