Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

The two sat down, Yang Minghao served tea, and Yang Zhengshan and Zhao Yuan started chatting.

"Actually, there's something I'm very curious about?"

"What's up?"

"Isn't General Zhou married?"

This question has been in Yang Zhengshan's mind for a long time, and the fire of this gossip is almost burning up to Tianling Gai.

It's a pity that he really didn't know who to discuss this issue with, so he could only keep it in his heart. Today he finally had a chance to chat with Zhao Yuan, so he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this question, Zhao Yuan was shocked and quickly looked around. When he saw that there was no one else in the study, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhengshan, don't talk about this in front of others."

Seeing how nervous he was, Yang Zhengshan nodded quickly.

"General Zhou has never been married, but he has engaged twice!"

Zhao Yuan sighed and continued: "General Zhou is also a hard-luck man. He got engaged twice and both of his fiancés died before the marriage."

"There is a rumor in Kyoto that General Zhou has killed Ke Fu. This matter has become a taboo in the Duke's palace. Brother Zhengshan, please don't mention this matter in front of General Zhou!"

Kev!

Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

He thought about some possibilities, such as Zhou Lan being a widow, or Zhou Lan being married, but her family was in Kyoto.

But he never expected that Zhou Lan would return the favor.

Naturally, he didn't believe what Ke Fu said. He could only say that Zhou Lan was unlucky and met two short-lived fiancés.

"So that's it!"

For a moment, Yang Zhengshan didn't know what to say. He could only look stunned and stopped talking about this topic.

"Master Zhao, we don't have much food left in the camp. We still need Master Zhao's help to sort this out!" Yang Zhengshan said abruptly, changing the subject.

Zhao Yuan waved his hand carelessly and said: "Lao Li told me yesterday that I have already ordered people to prepare it. If nothing happens, it will be shipped tomorrow!"

"In addition, you are now camp soldiers, and you will have pay in the future. I will bring you three months' pay in advance tomorrow."

Yang Zhengshan's eyes lit up when he heard about the salary.

And not only will they not be in arrears, they will also give them three months' salary in advance.

"Our military pay is sufficient?"

Zhao Yuan curled his lips and said: "It's not that our salary is very abundant, but that our Zhenbiao Zuoying's salary is very abundant!"

"With General Zhou here, no one in the entire Chongshan Town dares to embezzle the wages of our town's Biao Zuoying!"

Yang Zhengshan's eyes brightened even more.

On the importance of hugging the thighs.

Now his is no longer the newbie who came to Chongshan Pass.

Now he knows exactly what the soldiers and generals in Chongshan Pass look like.

It is quite common for military officers to pretend to receive their pay, and the crime is committed collectively, with officials of all sizes cooperating with each other.

There are also officers who wantonly exploit soldiers, deduct military pay, occupy farmland, dispatch servants, etc., treating soldiers as their own slaves and enslaving them wantonly.

That is to say, when Linguan Fort was first built, the surrounding fields were barren and thin, so these things were not brought to Yang Zhengshan's head.

Of course, this was also because Zhou Lan supported Yang Zhengshan, so some clowns did not dare to act wild in Laiguanbao.

Therefore, hugging Zhou Lan's thigh is Yang Zhengshan's most correct choice at the moment.

…

Zhao Yuan left, and ten carts of food were delivered to Linguan Fort the next day, along with three months' wages.

Among them are not only the soldiers' wages, but also the wages of Yang Zhengshan and the others.

Yang Zhengshan was very happy to get his salary for the first time.

It has been almost two months since he came to Chongshanguan, and he finally saw the money back.

Of course, the happiest person was not him, but the young men like Yang Mingwu.

After all, Yang Zhengshan still has some wealth and is not short of salary, but this group of young men is different. They are originally from poor families, and they followed Yang Zhengshan to Chongshanguan just to get promoted and make a fortune.

Although they have been well fed and clothed for more than a month, they are still a little flustered because they have not received half of their income.

After all, they still have relatives at home waiting for them to take care of them.

However, what made Yang Zhengshan more happy than the salary was the "Kui Niu Jin" given to him by Zhou Lan.

Early in the morning, in an open space outside Tunpu.

Under the morning light, the tip of the spear was like a dragon. It brought out dull thunder sounds as it danced, condensed into flashes of energy.

The energy is wrapped around the tip of the spear, and it is like a spiritual snake coming out of its hole. It carries powerful power and seems to be able to tear through any obstacle.

Suddenly, Yang Zhengshan jumped up, crossing three feet in the air. His toes touched the outer wall of the fort, and he turned over and jumped up more than ten feet again. The spear pierced the air, thunder sounded, and the flickering silver light penetrated slowly like a rainbow through the sun. The rising sun.

The light of the gun subsided, and Yang Zhengshan fell, landing firmly on the ground. He looked at the gilt flying fish gun in his hand with bright eyes, feeling the vigorous energy in his body, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

At this moment, Yang Zhengshan felt as if he had a spear in his hand and was full of pride.

His cultivation had reached the acquired state, and with the blessing of Kui Niu Jin, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

But all this is because his physique far exceeds that of warriors of the same level.

Long-term drinking of spiritual spring water has given his body a recovery power, explosive power and endurance that far exceed those of warriors of the same level. Even his speed, reaction, five senses and other aspects are far superior to those of warriors of the same level.

The spiritual spring water improves the physique in all aspects, and the realm and the exercises are added on the basis of the physique. That is to say, the stronger the physique, the greater the improvement of the strength by the realm and the exercises.

Of course, spiritual spring water is not incomparable. There are many precious medicines and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures in this world.

The children of those noble families and wealthy families have resources far beyond those of poor warriors.

Take Kui Niu Jin for example. In Yang Zhengshan's eyes, this is a rare skill, but in Zhou Lan's eyes, it is just an ordinary skill.

Perhaps Zhou Lan just copied it casually in the Ningguo Mansion, or perhaps Zhou Lan got it accidentally.

Since she gave Kui Niu Jin to Yang Zhengshan so easily, it means that she doesn't care about Kui Niu Jin.

After feeling Kui Niu Jin again, Yang Zhengshan turned around and returned to the garrison.

…

On May 15th of the 23rd year of Chengping, on the training ground in front of the Linguanbao government office.

"Line up, line up!"

"No talking!"

Yang Mingwu stood in front of the queue and shouted loudly.

Yang Zhengshan sat upright on a chair, with shining silver ingots on the table in front of him. Next to him, Lao Li was grinding ink, smiling so hard that his teeth were not visible.

Pay the salary!

The whole Linguan Fort was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Li Dazhu!"

"Here!"

An honest-looking man stepped forward and looked at Yang Zhengshan with a smile on his face.

Yang Zhengshan stood up, handed him the prepared silver ingot, and said, "After receiving the salary today, you will have to fight on the battlefield in the future. Are you ready?"

"My Lord, I am ready!" Li Dazhu shouted loudly.

Yang Zhengshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I am looking forward to your performance!"

"Song Sanshi!"

"Here!"

...

Yang Zhengshan distributed the salary to each soldier and said a few words to each soldier.

He wanted to let each soldier know who gave them the salary, and also let each soldier know that after receiving this salary, they would have to fight on the battlefield in the future.

The soldiers who received the salary were all happy, and they were grateful to Yang Zhengshan in their hearts. The military households who were secretly watching around were also very happy.

Today, they are not afraid of going to the battlefield, but they are afraid of hunger and poverty.

They have never forgotten the days of fleeing, when they were in a state of panic, hungry, cold, and sleepless, and could face the massacre of the Hu cavalry at any time.

In contrast, their lives are relatively stable and prosperous now.

Even better than before they fled.

After the salary was paid, the soldiers' enthusiasm for training became even higher.

And the training also changed from basic training to actual combat training, night training, confrontation combat, inspection and investigation, etc., everything Yang Zhengshan could think of would be arranged for them.

At the same time, Yang Zhengshan also asked Yang Minghao to record the training process in detail.

He wanted to summarize a complete set of training strategies, so that if he could train on a larger scale in the future, he could use this as a reference.
