Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

For more than ten days, Yang Zhengshan walked through all the towers and beacons, met with all the soldiers and military households, and dealt with a group of low-level flag officers who did not do their job.

After several busy days, Yang Zhengshan felt that his head was going bald.

He lost a lot of hair, and he felt that if he continued like this, he would probably become a top master.

While Yang Zhengshan was busy, Yangjia Village received the news that Yang Zhengshan was promoted.

Yangjia.

"Ah~~"

Yang Mingcheng looked at the letter in his hand and exclaimed, scaring Wang, who was serving dishes next to him, to shudder.

"Boss, what are you yelling about?"

The chubby Wang slapped Yang Mingcheng in anger.

Yang Mingcheng suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Wife, Dad got promoted to a thousand households!"

"What?" Wang suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Dad got promoted! Jianning Guard thousand households!" Yang Mingcheng's face was crooked with laughter.

Wang looked at him blankly for a long time before asking, "How high is the rank of Qianhu?"

She was just a village woman, and the highest official she had ever seen was the head of Yangjia Village, that is, Yang Zhengxiang.

Although Luo Jin, the magistrate of Anning County, had come to Yangjia Village before, it was a pity that she was just a woman and had never met the magistrate in person.

"Qianhu, the fifth rank!"

"Isn't that higher than the county magistrate?"

According to Wang's meager knowledge, the county magistrate was the seventh rank, and Qianhu was the fifth rank, so Qianhu was higher than the county magistrate.

Yang Mingcheng scratched his head. He knew the difference between the two, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"In terms of rank, Qianhu is indeed higher than the county magistrate."

"Sister-in-law, Dad is a military officer, and the county magistrate is a civil official. The two cannot be compared together!"

This is Li, who came over with her waist supported. She was five months pregnant and her belly was not small.

"Brother, this matter should be discussed with the clan leader!" Li reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes~~" Yang Mingcheng came back to his senses and hurried out the door.

Soon, the news of Yang Zhengshan's promotion spread throughout the Yangjia Village,

and the whole Yangjia Village was boiling.

Many villagers came to the Yang family to congratulate. Yang Mingcheng stood in the yard to entertain everyone who came to congratulate. It was not that he did not want to invite people into the main hall, but there were too many people, and the main hall could not accommodate them at all.

The next day, not only Yangjia Village, but also several villages around Yangjia Village received the news.

There were more people coming to congratulate, and each of them brought gifts.

In the following days, the Yang family was crowded with guests coming to congratulate.

...

Yang Zhengshan did not know the bustle of Yangjia Village, but he could imagine it, but now he could not care about it at all.

Time had unknowingly entered September, and it was still not raining outside the pass, and it was also not raining in Chongshan Town.

The earth is getting drier and drier. Some hillsides that were originally green have now turned yellow.

Under the severe drought, the wheat in the fields has matured ahead of time. The fields around Yinghebao are golden, which looks particularly pleasing. However, when you actually grab a wheat ear, you can see that the wheat inside is small and shriveled.

Standing at the edge of the field, Yang Zhengshan rubbed a handful of shriveled wheat and sighed faintly.

Yinghebao is still good, at least you can harvest some.

The worst is Linguanbao. The military households have been busy for half a year and have almost no harvest.

It can be predicted that the military households under his rule will have a hard time in the next year.

What worries him more is the situation outside the pass. The drought outside the pass is more serious, and the life of the Hu people is even more difficult.

At present, the Hu people have not harassed the border because they are fighting the drought and cannot harass the border.

But once they recover, they will inevitably invade Chongshan Town again to plunder supplies.

In order to survive, they have to do this.

Just when Yang Zhengshan was worried, his heart suddenly shook.

Then he looked up at the sky with the sun shining brightly in astonishment.

For some reason, he seemed to feel that it was going to rain.

It was clearly cloudless, but he just had this feeling.

"Is it really going to rain?"

Yang Zhengshan frowned, feeling a little expectant and a little confused.

Mind induction?

Sixth sense?

It seemed wrong.

When he was outside the pass, he had sensed the coming of a severe drought.

Facts proved that his induction was correct.

And now he sensed that it was going to rain again.

It seemed to be a heavy rain.

He really hoped that his induction was true.

But where did this induction come from?

Yang Zhengshan pondered secretly in his heart.

Warriors definitely don't have such ability, so what is the difference between him and others?

Lingquan space?

Yang Zhengshan could only think in this direction.

But he really couldn't figure out whether Lingquan space had such induction ability.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhengshan still couldn't figure it out. He could only stand up, turn over and mount his horse, and return to Yinghebao.

Yinghebao at this time has changed a little from before he came. Although he did not train the soldiers in the fort and did not do anything for the military households, he still put forward many requirements, such as hygiene, the rules of doing things in the government office, etc.

It was just because of the drought that his requirements for Yinghebao were not as high as those for Linguanbao.

As for his arrival, the military households of Yinghebao were cautious at the beginning, but now they have relaxed. They have accepted Yang Zhengshan as the new defense officer.

After all, compared with the previous defense officers, Yang Zhengshan was less troublesome. He would not beat or scold them for no reason, nor would he force them to do things that were not within their duties.

After returning to the garrison, Yang Zhengshan went directly to the backyard of the government office, where he lived.

Standing in front of the main hall of the backyard, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but look up at the sky again.

It's going to rain!

This feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Yang Minghao came over and looked at the sky with some surprise.

There was not a trace of cloud in the clear sky, and the scorching sun made people dizzy.

"It's going to rain!"

Yang Zhengshan whispered softly.

"Rain! Dad, are you hysterical? Will it rain today?" Yang Minghao felt that his father was crazy about rain and was talking nonsense.

Yang Zhengshan came back to his senses and glared at him fiercely.

"Do you deserve a beating, kid?"

This brat actually framed him. It seems that he has been too tolerant of him recently.

Feeling his gaze, Yang Minghao felt a chill on his back. His head shrank and he smiled awkwardly, "Dad, it's time for lunch!"

"Let's go!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and walked towards the restaurant.

After arriving at Yinghebao, he had lunch separately from Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengxu and others.

Currently, Yang Chengze is the garrison officer of Linguanbao, Yang Chengxu is the garrison officer of Xiangyuanbao, and Yang Chengche is the garrison officer of Sanshanbao. They are not with Yang Zhengshan.

As a deputy thousand households, Yang Mingwu runs back and forth between the four garrisons. He goes out early and comes back late, and he can't always be with Yang Zhengshan.

Currently, only Yang Minghao, an idle man, is with Yang Zhengshan. Everyone else has their own things to do.

Lunch is very simple, a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, plus a plate of pickles, and the staple food is white flour steamed buns.

The woman hired by Yang Zhengshan in the fort was in charge of cooking.

"Dad, should we bring our eldest brother and others here?"

Yang Minghao couldn't help asking during the meal.

He had been away from home for more than half a year, and he missed his family a little.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "Wait until after the autumn harvest!"

There were not many things to do at home at present. The fields were cultivated by tenants, so Yang Mingcheng didn't need to go to the fields himself. He just needed to collect the rent during the autumn harvest.

As for the possibility of the Hu cavalry entering the country, it might not be safer in Yangjia Village than here.

Before the Hu cavalry entered the country, they mainly plundered those villages. The Hu cavalry didn't attack military fortresses like Tunbu.

And bringing Yang Mingcheng and others here would also make it easier for him to take care of them.

"Really!" Yang Minghao's eyes lit up.

"Yeah!" Yang Zhengshan nodded.

At this moment, a whistling sound of wind suddenly came from outside the door.

The strong wind came suddenly, fast and strong, blowing the whole yard into pieces.
