Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan came to the grassland in the south. The green grassland was mixed with many small flowers that could not be named. The breeze blew slightly, and the green grassland formed green waves.

Yang Zhengshan looked into the distance and whistled.

A long whistle spread throughout the space, and a moment later, bursts of horse hooves sounded.

Yang Zhengshan followed the sound and saw a dozen horses that had not grown up yet running out of the orchard to the west.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan, these dozen horses seemed particularly excited and galloped towards Yang Zhengshan with all their strength.

In a few breaths, they arrived in front of Yang Zhengshan.

Xilulu~~

The horses screamed happily, and Yang Zhengshan reached out and touched the two horses in front of him.

"You went to steal my fruit again!"

"There is not enough grass for you to eat, but you still have to eat the fruit!"

Yang Zhengshan said helplessly.

These horses have been raised in the space for more than half a year. They are all descendants of Hongyun, but their physiques are not outstanding. If they were raised outside, they would at most become high-quality horses.

But now that they are in the Lingquan space, they will definitely be no worse than Hongyun in the future.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan often brings Hongyun into the space, but Hongyun is his mount after all, so Hongyun cannot stay in the space all the time.

But these horses can, they are very smart. Yang Zhengshan told them that they cannot go to ponds, medicine gardens and tea gardens, but they really don’t go.

However, Yang Zhengshan did not tell them not to go to the orchard, so many fruits in the orchard were eaten by them.

Fortunately, the orchard is now big enough, even if we let them eat it, they won’t be able to finish it all.

Yang Zhengshan communicated with these horses for a while, and then went to the tea garden in the east.

The tea trees in the tea garden sprouted many buds again, and Yang Zhengshan picked a lot of them.

To be honest, he can't keep up with the growth rate of the tea tree. If the young buds are pinched off, they will grow again in more than a month. Yang Zhengshan can only pick a small part of such a large tea garden.

As for the medicinal garden, let alone it, Yang Zhengshan has allowed it to grow freely.

However, during this period, Yang Zhengshan planned to collect a batch of medicinal herbs, select some of the better ones, prepare them, or put them in the small courtyard for emergencies, or use some of them for his family to use.

Making wine, frying tea, preparing medicinal materials, collecting royal honey, taking care of precious medicines and three-yellow plums, just like this, a month passed before I knew it.

On this day, when Yang Zhengshan came out of the space, it was already approaching dusk.

His frequent entry and exit of the space did not attract the attention of his family, because he entered the space from the study room every time, and he could also sense the situation outside within the space. As long as someone knocked on the door, he could come out of the space at any time. Come out of the space.

Even Yu Qingyi doesn't know what he does in the study every day.

One month is enough for the Yang family to adapt to life in Kyoto.

Yang Mingcheng invited several more masters in Kyoto, and the Yang family primary school was reopened. The children studied when they should study, and practiced martial arts when they needed to.

The family members of the Yang family guard almost took over. Yang Zhengshan gave them three farms in Wanping County and built a training ground in a village close to Kyoto.

It is enough to have more than a hundred guards on duty in the Hou Mansion. There is no need to keep all the guards in the manor. It is no problem for so many guards to eat and live in the manor, but there is no place spacious enough for them to practice.

So Yang Zhengshan asked them to divide into three teams and take turns to guard the Hou Mansion. The remaining two teams stayed in the village outside the city. They practiced when they needed to practice on weekdays. If there was a mission, Ding Qiu, Wu Zhan and Luo Jinsong would meet on their own. Arrange them.

After walking out of the study, Yang Zhengshan found Wu Hai standing outside the door.

"Master Hou!"

"Well! You had a hard time on the road!" Yang Zhengshan smiled and nodded.

Wu Hai just arrived from Chongshanguan today, and he stayed at Chongshanguan to finish the work. His return also means that the Yang family's affairs in Chongshanguan have been arranged.

"It's not hard, I came here by boat, it was fast and easy!" Wu Hai said with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan asked as he walked towards the main courtyard: "How is the situation in Chongshan Town?"

"Everything is fine. When the old slave left, the General Military Mansion had already begun construction of roads, and the spring plowing was not delayed. All departments and offices were already prepared!"

"By the way, the Yinghe River has been dredged since it thawed. There were many ships docked at Chongshanguan Wharf half a month ago!"

Wu Hai said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, and the Yinghe River was dredged again, which meant that Chongshanguan could once again be connected to the sea. There was a waterway, which could greatly improve the cargo transportation capacity in the central and western parts of Chongshan Town.

Economic development is inseparable from transportation. Today, the population of Chongshan Town has nearly doubled, while the economic potential has increased several times.

Once those refugees fully adapt to life in Chongshan Town and reclaim the wasteland in the North, their output and consumption capacity will increase.

As long as Zhou Lan can act according to his plan, it can be foreseen that the next three to five years will be a period of rapid development for Chongshan Town.

In the future, Chongshan Town may not be comparable to Tenglongwei, but it will definitely become the richest among the nine border towns in Darong.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "Well, you should take a good rest these two days, and then take over the affairs of the Hou Mansion after you have rested. Lu Shou will be your deputy. You can teach him well. When you are over sixty, you can take over the affairs." He takes over from you!"

Being a housekeeper is not something anyone can do.

Wu Hai has been a housekeeper for so many years in the Yang family, and he knows everything about the Yang family by heart. However, he is still a little unfamiliar with the situation in the capital, and Lu Shou can make up for his shortcomings in this regard.

As for why Wu Hai was waiting for him outside the study, he also understood that he was afraid that Lu Shou would take his position as housekeeper.

Yang Zhengshan was a nostalgic person, so he would naturally not remove Wu Hai from the position of housekeeper.

However, Wu Hai is not young anymore, he is already fifty-six years old now, even if he is allowed to continue to be a housekeeper, he will not be able to do it for a few years.

Lu Shou is not yet forty years old, and when Wu Hai retires in a few years, Lu Shou can take over.

"Yes, I will teach Lu Shou well!" Wu Hai said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "Let's set another rule at home. In the future, servants in the family can go home to live in retirement after they are over 60 years old, and the monthly salary will be paid as usual until they die."

"If there is no offspring to support them in their old age, they can stay in Yangshan Hall in the mansion to live in retirement."

The Yang family has only been rising for a short time, and the servants in the family are not very old. Wu Hai should be the oldest one.

It sounds harsh to retire and receive a pension after the age of 60, that is, 60 years old.

After all, in this world, the average life expectancy of the people is only about 40 years old.

But the servants of the Yang family are not ordinary people. Not only are they nourished by the spiritual spring water, but they are almost all warriors. It is not difficult for them to live to 60 years old.

So Yang Zhengshan limited the age to 60 years old.

"My Lord is kind, and I am grateful!" Wu Hai was about to kneel down and kowtow to Yang Zhengshan when he heard this.

Yang Zhengshan hurriedly pulled him over, "Okay, don't kowtow all the time!"

"It is a blessing for us to serve the master!" Wu Hai was really moved.

He used to be a housekeeper for other families, but the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

In his heart, being able to come to the Yang family is a blessing.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, "Okay, go and have a rest, I don't need you to serve me here!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!"

Wu Hai bowed and stood there, and Yang Zhengshan continued to walk towards the main courtyard.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, Yu Qingyi and Ming Zhao were already waiting for him to eat.

Yu Qingyi went out today and was invited by the wife of the Duke of Ningguo to go to the Mahayana Temple to burn incense.

After a simple wash, Yang Zhengshan sat at the dining table and asked casually: "Did the wife of the Duke of Ningguo say anything?"

"No, the wife of the Duke of Ningguo mainly took her grandson to see the girl today, and invited me just to find someone to talk to!" Yu Qingyi smiled.

"Oh? Which girl?" Yang Zhengshan asked curiously.

"Huaiyang Li family!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan showed a look of understanding.

The Li family of Huaiyang Prefecture is the family of the former Prime Minister Li Siyuan. After Li Siyuan retired, he went to Huaiyang Prefecture to live in retirement.

Before Li Siyuan was in the court, the Ningguo Mansion did not marry the Li family. Now that Li Siyuan has retired, the Ningguo Mansion is going to marry the Li family.

When the food was served, Yang Zhengshan asked casually: "Is it time to set a date for Chengmao's marriage?"

This month, the marriage between the Yang family and the Xue family has progressed very quickly. The procedures of accepting the marriage, asking for the name, and accepting the betrothal have been completed. The next step is to set the wedding date and wait for the wedding.

"Well, I wrote to Mingzhi yesterday. I chose three dates and asked him to see which one is suitable!" Yu Qingyi said.

The man will set the wedding date and then notify the woman. If the woman has no objection, the wedding date can be set.

Yang Mingzhi will definitely not come back by then, but Li will definitely come back.

"You decide." Yang Zhengshan thought about it and felt that there was nothing he could do to help.

The Yang family has done a lot of things in recent years regarding marriages, and Yu Qingyi is also familiar with the matter, so he doesn't need him at all.

"I don't think Chengmao is in a hurry about marriage!" Yu Qingyi said with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "This kid is now training with the Royal Guards, so naturally he doesn't care about marriage!"

When they were in Chongshan Pass, Yang Zhengshan said that he would go to the Royal Guards for training after Yang Chengmao got married, but now that he has come to Kyoto, the Royal Guards have become the Yang family's guards, and Yang Chengmao has gone to the Royal Guards for training with Yang Chengye.

This kid happily runs to the Royal Guards all day long, and he probably has forgotten about marriage now.

"Haha~~ I think Chengmao is also a martial arts fanatic!" Yu Qingyi said with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but feel surprised. He had never noticed that Yang Chengmao had the attribute of a martial arts fanatic before, but since Yang Chengmao became a martial artist, this attribute of a martial arts fanatic seemed to become more and more obvious.

…

It was late at night and Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi had already gone to bed.

But suddenly, Yang Zhengshan was awakened by a slight noise.

Yang Zhengshan was a light sleeper, but normal natural noises would not wake him up, such as the sound of wind, rain, insects, etc., and even the footsteps of Qingxia, Hongyun and others would not wake him up, because he could unconsciously analyze whether these noises should appear around him.

This perception is magical, just like if you are familiar with a certain sound, this sound will not attract his attention, but if a sound that has never been heard suddenly appears, you will immediately become alert.

Yang Zhengshan's feelings about these were not obvious before, but after breaking through to the innate realm, his perception ability became more and more obvious.

Hearing is part of perception, and this perception is not only manifested in hearing.

It should be more like a divine sense, just like Yang Zhengshan can sense the celestial phenomena, now Yang Zhengshan will have a special perception of all new things around him.

A slight sound is enough to wake him up from his sleep.

Yang Zhengshan frowned and sat up slowly.

Another sound came! And he has entered the main courtyard!

To be able to avoid the Yang family guards and sneak into his main courtyard, this is definitely not an ordinary person.

Innate warrior!

Yang Zhengshan put on his robe.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qingyi asked sleepily.

"An expert is coming!" Yang Zhengshan looked a little solemn.

Yu Qingyi suddenly woke up, "Expert! Where is it?"

Anyone who can be called an expert by Yang Zhengshan must be an innate warrior.

"Don't panic, I'll go out and take a look first!" Yang Zhengshan opened the bedroom door and looked at Qingxia who was sleeping in the outer room.

"My Lord!"

Qingxia was awakened by the sound of his door opening.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "You go in and accompany the lady!"

After that, he walked out of the outer room again, came to the main room, pushed open the wooden door of the main room, and his eyes were immediately locked on the door of the ear room not far away.

The moonlight was cold, and the yard was as if it was covered with a layer of white frost.

But there was a tall osmanthus tree in front of the door of the ear room. The moonlight shone through the not-so-lush tree canopy, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

And in this mottled patch, a figure could be vaguely seen.

This person was covered in a black robe, and it was impossible to tell whether he was fat or thin, or his face, but it seemed that his back was slightly hunched.

"Who!" Yang Zhengshan asked in a deep voice.

"Follow me!" The old voice sounded, and Yang Zhengshan felt inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard this voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the figure disappeared from the spot as if it turned into a wisp of green smoke. The next moment, he had jumped onto the wall and flew towards the back mountain of the mansion like a ghost bat.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes, stared at his figure, and followed closely.

This person's speed was not fast. Although his lightness skills were good, he should not be much better than Yang Zhengshan. As for his cultivation, he should have just entered the innate realm.

Yang Zhengshan knew only one innate warrior, that is Ji Zhen, but obviously this person was not Ji Zhen.

Soon, the two came to the back mountain one after another. There were lush vegetation on the back mountain, and there were relatively few buildings. There were basically no servants and guards here. Instead, there were several houses for guards to guard inside the wall under the shady slope.

The focus of the Yang family guards' duty was not inside the mansion, but on the walls around the mansion.

As for the reason, firstly, this is Gui'anfang, where nobles live, and the guards outside the mansion are already very strict. Secondly, most of the servants of the Yang family are warriors, many of whom are acquired warriors, and do not need guards at all.

So this huge mansion has only a hundred guards, and they take turns to guard.

There are only more than 30 people on duty at night.

In comparison, the guards of the Yang family are indeed much looser than when they were in Chongshan Pass.
