Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather
Chapter 470 Yu Qingyi feels that she can no longer manage this family!
"I've met Mr. Yang Hou!" Wang Zhongzhi came over and bowed his hands.
Yang Zhengshan looked him up and down, then looked at Lu Hua.
There was a ferocious scar on Lu Hua's face, which made the originally handsome man look a little more ferocious. In the past, he gave Yang Zhengshan the feeling of being noble, but now he has become vicious.
That's right, he is ruthless, and the ruthlessness in his eyes is undisguised.
"I am getting ready to return to Beijing!" Yang Zhengshan said directly without any courtesy.
Wang Zhongzhi nodded, "I know, but what plans does Marquis Yang have for us?"
"There are no arrangements. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time!" Yang Zhengshan said lightly.
In fact, he didn't want to have too much involvement with the Secret Martial Guard, whether it was before or now.
In his opinion, the Secret Guards are synonymous with trouble. Anyway, as long as they are involved with the Secret Guards, there will be a lot of trouble.
Wang Zhongzhi's expression moved slightly, "I would like to ask Lord Yang for a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
"Let me see your Majesty!"
"Well, you're not afraid of death!" Yang Zhengshan looked at him in surprise.
"I'm afraid, but I don't want to die without knowing anything about it!" Wang Zhongzhi said.
In terms of loyalty, Wang Zhongzhi can be said to be loyal, whether to the former Emperor Taiping or to the current Emperor Yanping.
He didn't want to question Emperor Yanping, he just wanted to be loyal to Emperor Yanping.
If Emperor Yanping wanted him to die, he would be willing to kill himself, but he hoped that Emperor Yanping would know his loyalty.
Yang Zhengshan didn't understand his thoughts, nor did he care about his thoughts.
"Sorry, I can't help you with this!" Yang Zhengshan refused.
He didn't refuse, but he really couldn't help.
Wang Zhongzhi fell silent, Lu Hua stood aside and said nothing, and Wei Cen stood guard in the distance.
Seeing that they were both silent, Yang Zhengshan said helplessly: "Let me wait until I understand the situation in Kyoto. Give Ding Qiu a way to contact you. If anything happens, I will contact you!"
He really didn't want to deal with the Secret Martial Guard, but now he couldn't do it even if he didn't want to. He had already been involved in the Secret Martial Guard.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Yang!"
Wang Zhongzhi said something, and then winked at Lu Hua. Lu Hua stepped forward and told Ding Qiu a way to contact them in Kyoto.
Although Wang Zhongzhi and Lu Hua are now reduced to bereft dogs, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Wang Zhongzhi has been in charge of the Secret Military Guard for decades, and Lu Hua has been in charge of the Zhenbei Division for more than ten years. They still have considerable power in their hands.
After they finished speaking, Yang Zhengshan turned around and walked down the mountain.
"See you later!"
He waved his hand and walked away.
Wang Zhong looked straight at his back, frowning.
"Are you worried?" Lu Hua said in a deep voice.
"Well! Mr. Yang has just entered Kyoto. I'm afraid Nan Sheng will stumble him! If he falls into Nan Sheng's tricks, he may be in danger!" Wang Zhongzhi said.
Although this is Wang Zhongzhi's first contact with Yang Zhengshan, he does not want Yang Zhengshan to get into trouble. After all, they still need Yang Zhengshan's help now.
Lu Hua was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Yang Zhengshan looks upright and aboveboard on the surface, but in fact he is cunning and cunning. If Nan Sheng wants to deal with him, he will probably suffer the consequences!"
Wang Zhongzhi didn't understand Yang Zhengshan, but Lu Hua did.
Yang Zhengshan's acting style gives people the impression that he is strong. He does not hide his own purposes and ideas in anything he does, and he likes to do things openly.
To say he is aboveboard is actually an understatement.
But anyone who really knows Yang Zhengshan knows that Yang Zhengshan is cold at heart, with the coldness to kill people without blinking an eye.
At the same time, Yang Zhengshan is also a person who likes to make plans. He likes to plan everything in advance and then realize his ideas step by step according to his own plan.
This can be seen from his management of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard. Every time he will make a bunch of plans for the people below to implement.
The same was true for him on the battlefield. In the Battle of Guanshan Pass, he stood in front of the Ulliang army. No matter what the Ulliang army did, he did not change his plan and was always waiting for the northwest wind to arrive.
It is Yang Zhengshan's character to act after making a decision.
To put it another way, it is scheming.
Since Yang Zhengshan is going to Beijing, how can he not consider the trouble he will encounter after entering Beijing?
"Haha, it seems you admire him very much?" Wang Zhongzhi chuckled.
He knew Lu Hua's temperament very well, that kind of arrogance from the bottom of his heart and his contempt for everyone and everything.
There are very few people who can admire Lu Hua, it can even be said that there are none.
At least Wang Zhongzhi didn't think Lu Hua would admire him.
"Not really!" Lu Hua shook his head slightly.
Wang Zhongzhi smiled, it was indeed an expected answer.
Then he sighed slightly, "At this point, we can only take our time!"
"Contact the people in Kyoto first and ask them to keep an eye on the Imperial Guard and the Zhenfu Department! If Marquis Jing'an needs it, let them be ready to take action at any time!"
Now they are bound to Yang Zhengshan. At least until Nan Sheng is eliminated, Yang Zhengshan is their most important ally.
…
In the second year of Yanping, February 18th.
There is no cloud in the clear sky, and the majestic mountains are more brilliant in the bright sunshine.
On the official road in the south of the city, a long procession slowly moved southward. In front of the city gate, Zhou Lan, Pang Tang and others watched the convoy go away.
"I wonder what will happen to Mr. Hou after he enters Beijing?" Pang Tang's face was a little solemn.
Zhou Lan's expression was calm, "Don't worry, Governor, there will be no chaos in Kyoto!"
"Why?" Pang Tang was puzzled.
Zhou Lan's lips curled up slightly, "Because the water in Kyoto is deeper than you and I imagined!"
Whether the water in Kyoto will be chaotic or not does not depend on whether there will be shocks in the court, but whether the foundation under the deep pool can calm the wind and waves.
Everyone thinks that the court is the foundation of Darong, but Zhou Lan knows that the court is just the appearance of Darong.
Whether it is the court or the imperial city, the water on the surface of the deep pool, no matter how turbulent the water is, as long as the foundation at the bottom of the pool is unmoved, there will be no big chaos in Kyoto.
Obviously, Zhou Lan knows much more about the court than Pang Tang.
In the carriage behind, Zhang Mingzhong was also looking at the team going away, with a faint smile on his lips, without any worry.
In the team, Yang Zhengshan was sitting in the carriage chatting with Yu Qingyi.
There were as many as five or six hundred people who followed them into Beijing this time. First, there were the Yang family. Li and Liang stayed in Chongshan Town. They only brought the two little girls, Yang Wanrong and Yang Wanning, with them. The others all followed Yang Zhengshan into Beijing.
Next were the servants and guards of the Yang family. Two hundred servants and one hundred guards would follow them into Beijing, while the others would stay in Chongshan Town to serve Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao, and to manage the Yang family's industries in Chongshan Town and Liaodong.
Finally, there were the personal followers and personal guards around Yang Zhengshan. Twenty personal followers and two hundred personal guards all followed Yang Zhengshan into Beijing. However, from today on, they were no longer soldiers in the army, but Yang family servants and guards.
In fact, Yang Zhengshan wanted the personal guards to stay in Chongshan Town, and even planned to divide them between Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao, but unfortunately the personal guards were unwilling to do so. They only wanted to follow Yang Zhengshan.
This made Yang Zhengshan both helpless and moved, and in the end he could only let them follow him into Beijing.
However, this time they went to Beijing separately. The first group had already set off ten days ago, and they took most of the Yang family's property and went ahead.
There was another group behind. Wu Hai would take the rest of the people to Beijing after he arranged the Yang family's affairs in Chongshan Town.
So Yang Zhengshan's team only had more than a hundred people.
In the carriage.
Yang Zhengshan sat lazily on the soft couch and said casually: "I remember that our family has a big farm in Wanping County."
"Yes, there is one, with more than 2,000 acres of land!" Yu Qingyi said.
"Only 2,000 acres?" Yang Zhengshan asked in confusion.
"2,000 acres is not small. The land in Wanping County is much more expensive than that in Chongshan Town!" Yu Qingyi said unhappily.
These are all the family businesses she bought, but Yang Zhengshan thought it was too little.
Wanping County is one of the two counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. Many dignitaries in Kyoto will buy industries in Wanping County. Yu Qingyi had people watch Wanping County for a long time and finally bought several farms in Wanping County.
"Two hundred brothers in the Royal Guards, plus Wang Lei, Li Chang and others, a total of two hundred and twenty people! Each of them must be given at least fifty acres of land!"
"By the way, your ten junior brothers can't be treated unfairly, and they will also be given fifty acres of land when the time comes!"
Yang Zhengshan counted on his fingers.
Most of the Yang family guards are Yang family's slaves, and their indentures are in the Yang family. The Yang family can only pay them monthly wages.
But the brothers in the Royal Guards are not Yang family's slaves, at most they are guards hired by the Yang family, and they certainly can't be paid monthly wages.
Give each person fifty acres of land to settle their families, so as to relieve their worries.
"Then we have to give out all three manors in Wanping County!" Yu Qingyi calculated and said.
"It's just a few manors, give them! When we settle down, you can ask someone to help them take their families over. Also renovate the houses in the manors." Yang Zhengshan said indifferently.
Yu Qingyi nodded, "Then how much should they be paid monthly?"
Yang Zhengshan was a little entangled, this is indeed difficult to measure.
The soldiers of the Royal Guard Camp all have a high level of cultivation. If they are placed in the army, they can at least be a thousand commanders. If they are placed in the guards, they can be a commander or a deputy commander.
They are willing to give up their official positions to follow Yang Zhengshan, so Yang Zhengshan naturally cannot treat them unfairly.
But how much silver is appropriate?
"According to Wu Zhan's monthly salary?" Yang Zhengshan hesitated.
Yu Qingyi was depressed, "That would be 48,000 taels of silver a year!"
The monthly salary that the Yang family gave to slaves was actually high. Generally, maids and old women had three or four taels of silver, and guards had ten taels of silver, which was seven or eight times higher than the monthly salary that those wealthy families gave to slaves.
But if the monthly salary was given according to their abilities, the Yang family actually didn't give much, after all, most of the Yang family's servants were warriors.
It is obviously unreasonable to give a warrior, even a warrior at the body-building level, only a few taels of silver a month.
However, their indentures are in the hands of the Yang family, and they were trained by the Yang family. In addition, the Yang family has always been very close to them, so the Yang family's servants have no dissatisfaction.
The Yang family's servants can be given less monthly money, but others cannot be given too little.
For example, Wu Zhan, Wu Zheng, etc., they have 200 taels of monthly money every month.
The same is true for Yang Zhengshan's followers.
The brothers of the personal guard camp are naturally not less.
The brothers of the personal guard camp alone need nearly 50,000 taels a year. If the other expenses of the Yang family are added, I am afraid that it will be more than 70,000 or 80,000 in a year.
Although the Yang family currently has many industries, in fact, the annual income is only 20,000 to 30,000 taels.
Before, they could barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure, but in the future, they will definitely not be able to make ends meet.
Yu Qingyi felt that she could not manage this family!
In fact, this is the norm for powerful families. They look glorious with their large families and businesses, but in fact, each family is worried about money.
Why are there so many corrupt officials? Isn’t it because there are many places to spend money?
To keep a few martial arts masters as guards, it will cost thousands or tens of thousands of taels a year, and the cost of training martial artists is also not small.
So don’t look at the nobles in Kyoto who look glorious, but in fact they are not as good as the Yang family.
"It’s okay, I still have some silver here, and I will subsidize your household expenses when the time comes! In addition, when we arrive in Kyoto, find Luo Shang to determine the share of the glass business. In the future, our family will account for 30% of the Luo family’s glass business."
Yang Zhengshan has no psychological burden on taking the Luo family’s money.
In fact, the Luo family has given gifts to the Yang family for many years. Many of the Yang family’s shops and farms were given by the Luo family.
"Will the head of the Luo family have any objections?" Yu Qingyi asked.
Yang Zhengshan smiled, "Will he have any objections? He's so happy!"
The Yang family is willing to take the Luo family's share, which is a care for the Luo family. This means that the Luo family's glass business will also be the Yang family's business in the future. Let alone 30%, even if it is 70% or 80%, Luo Shang will not have any objection, and will even happily offer the business.
"That's good!" Yu Qingyi said with understanding.
