Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"My Lord, are you going to build new houses for everyone?"

In the study, Old Li looked at the plan drawn by Yang Zhengshan, and his eyes almost popped out.

"That's right, rebuild everything!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded casually, then looked at Yang Chengche and others, and said: "Build in small flag units, tell your men, the first one to complete will be rewarded with three dou of grain per household, the second one will be rewarded with two dou of grain per household, and the third one will be rewarded with one dou. The last one will be fined one month's food and salary!"

Competition brings motivation, and rewards will make people more active.

While building houses, it is just right to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, so that these people don't feel lifeless all day long.

"As for you, the first one will be rewarded with three taels of silver, the second one will be rewarded with two taels, the third one will be rewarded with one tael, and the last one will be rewarded with one tael.

Yang Zhengshan grinned at Yang Chengche, Yang Chengxu and others and said: "The last one will help me wash clothes for a month!"

Yang Chengche and others didn't respond yet, and Yang Minghao behind them called out in surprise.

"That's good, that's good, wash clothes for a month, hahaha~~"

Yang Minghao has no position here, nor is he a soldier of Linguan Fort. He is just Yang Zhengshan's son, responsible for taking care of Yang Zhengshan.

On weekdays, Yang Minghao helps Yang Zhengshan with washing and brushing.

Now that he heard that someone was going to help Yang Zhengshan wash clothes for a month, he naturally cheered.

"Let's compete, who is afraid of who, the first place must be mine!"

"It's too early to talk now, let's wait and see."

"Hey, you must be the one to wash clothes!"

"I tell you, my father's socks are very smelly! Haha~~"

A group of young men are ready to fight.

Yang Zhengshan glared at Yang Minghao. This kid actually said that my socks are smelly. Wait and see how I deal with you.

"Lao Li, go and select ten women who can cook. During the period of building the house, all meals will be provided by the government!" Yang Zhengshan ordered again.

A little food, Yang Zhengshan will not care.

But the military households would be very concerned. They didn't have much food, so they would definitely not be willing to eat their fill on weekdays.

Building a house requires a lot of effort, so Yang Zhengshan directly provides meals to everyone in the fort.

And it is convenient for him to mix spiritual spring water with cooking together.

These refugees are in poor health, and Yang Zhengshan also wants to take the opportunity to strengthen their physique to prevent anyone from getting sick.

When the house is built and the soldiers start training, Yang Zhengshan will no longer provide spiritual spring water to everyone, but only to the soldiers receiving training.

"Do we have enough food?" Lao Li was a little worried.

At this time, he felt that Yang Zhengshan, the centurion, was a little unreliable and didn't know how to save at all. It's okay to build a house, but also to provide meals to everyone.

"Don't worry, the food issue will be solved." Yang Zhengshan said.

Let's not talk about the ten carts of food he brought. Even if the food is not enough, he can ask Zhou Lan for it.

Zhou Lan promised him that she would give him enough food.

In this way, under Yang Zhengshan's mobilization, the originally lifeless Linguanbao became active.

When everyone heard that Yang Zhengshan was going to build a new house for them, they all had a better impression of Yang Zhengshan.

When they heard that the government would provide meals during the construction of the house, they all became very excited.

For these refugees, nothing is more important than filling their stomachs.

Finally, they heard about the reward and punishment system, and everyone's enthusiasm increased several times.

Yang Chengze, Yang Chengche and others just called out, and everyone in the garrison began to move, regardless of gender, age or young.

Even children aged seven or eight ran out to move stones and dig soil.

At first, Yang Zhengshan was a little worried, fearing that these people would not obey discipline and would cause trouble. As a result, he observed for a day and found that this group of people were really docile.

Perhaps it was because they needed Linguanbao as a place to settle down, or perhaps it was because Yang Zhengshan's decision made them find new hope.

Anyway, they were very active in their work, and Yang Chengche and others were also very responsible.

Soon, houses rose from the ground.

Yang Zhengshan put his energy into other places.

It is said that you live by the mountains and you live by the water.

Linguanbao is located in the Qianchong Mountains, surrounded by low hills, and there is an unnamed river flowing under the mountains, which can be regarded as having mountains and water.

But in fact, there are few tall trees on the hills around Linguanbao, mostly some shrubs and weeds, and there are no fish and shrimps to catch in the small river under the mountain.

The land is barren and there are no other natural resources to collect. This is the current situation of Linguanbao.

If you want to change the current situation of Linguanbao, you can't limit your vision to Linguanbao.

After thinking for a few days, Yang Zhengshan took Yang Minghao back to Chongshanguancheng.

If you ask who has the most people in Guancheng, it is definitely the military.

Let's not talk about the soldiers of the five battalions of the town, just talk about the military households in the garrisons around the city. These military households will come to the city to buy anything.

Although the military households are poor, they are not without money.

And what Yang Zhengshan wants to do is to make money from them.

It's not that Yang Zhengshan doesn't want to do some high-end business, but he doesn't dare and can't do high-end business now.

For example, salt, iron, medicinal materials, furs, etc., these industries are not what Yang Zhengshan can intervene in.

The water in the city is so deep that he doesn't even have the qualifications to fish in troubled waters, let alone stir up the storm.

So Yang Zhengshan set his sights on those businesses with low profits and inconspicuousness.

He was not doing it for himself, he wanted to find a job with income for the military households in Linguan Fort so that they would not have to stick to the barren land.

The two walked along the street to the door of a store called Baifu Grain Shop.

There was a shopkeeper in his forties and three clerks in their twenties in the shop.

"What do the two guests want?"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan and Yang Minghao enter the door, a clerk immediately came forward to greet them.

"We are not buying anything, I am here to see Shopkeeper Lu!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The clerk looked Yang Zhengshan up and down and asked, "May I ask your name, what do you want to see my shopkeeper?"

"An Ning Yang Zhengshan, I am familiar with Master Lu!" Yang Zhengshan replied.

This grain shop is the property of the Lu family.

Before he separated from Song An, Song An told him that if he needed help with anything, he could come to Baifu Grain Shop to find Shopkeeper Lu.

Shopkeeper Lu behind the counter heard Yang Zhengshan's words and hurried out to greet him.

"It turns out to be Lord Yang, I'm sorry!"

After some politeness, Shopkeeper Lu invited Yang Zhengshan into the back hall.

"I have something I want to ask Shopkeeper Lu for help. I wonder if Shopkeeper Lu knows the shopkeeper of a cloth shop or embroidery room." Yang Zhengshan asked directly.

Shopkeeper Lu thought for a while and said, "I know some shopkeepers who run cloth shops, but they are all small cloth shops!"

He has been running a grain shop in Guancheng for more than ten years, so naturally he has some familiar shopkeepers.

However, he didn't know whether these small cloth shops met Yang Zhengshan's requirements.

"It doesn't need to be a big cloth shop. For me, a small cloth shop is better!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"I am familiar with the Luo's Cloth Shop opposite. Why don't we go and have a look together!" Shopkeeper Lu pointed to a shop diagonally opposite and said.

Yang Zhengshan looked over and saw a shop with a plaque of Luo's Cloth Shop.

It looked similar to Liang Sanye's Liang's Cloth Shop, but it was a pity that Liang Sanye was in Anning County, otherwise he could have asked Liang Sanye to do this business.

Then the two of them went to Luo's Cloth Shop.
