Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"It's useful. Zhang Juhai's method of taming the Feinu Eagle is actually similar to the bird-controlling technique, but he mainly targets the Feinu Eagle, and this bird-controlling technique records the domestication and application of more than 30 birds!"

"Well, each has its own advantages. If you confirm each other, it will still be rewarding!"

Yu Qingyi explained.

Yang Zhengshan was not interested in taming eagles, but just took a rough look at the bird-control technique and let it go.

"You can tame it slowly."

After saying that, he walked into the house to study the recipe for the spiritual pill.

...

In the second yard to the west of Yang Zhengshan's yard, a tall woman was lying in front of Liang and crying.

"Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law! Woo woo woo woo~~"

The woman was about thirty years old. Her tears filled her eyelashes, like pear blossoms and evening rain, her spring shirt was wet, and she looked like peach blossoms and rain, and the more she cried, the more she felt sad, and in the end she lay on Liang's leg sobbed more than.

Liang's face was dull and comforted the woman with some unbearable feelings.

"Okay, stop crying, my mother will make the decision for you!"

"Oh, don't worry, Chengyou won't do anything random!"

Now Liang is dressed as an old woman. After all, she is over fifty years old and her grandchildren are at the age of running all over the ground.

She wore a brocade dotted forehead strap and a simple agarwood-colored python-shoulder gauze dress. She had a rosy face, plump cheeks, clear eyes, and a sense of love for an elderly person, but she actually didn't look old. , except for a bunch of crow's feet at the corner of his eyes, there is no old look at it.

Maybe because she got older and the children got older, her clothes and jewelry gradually became older.

Now Liang is no longer the daughter of that small businessman. The petty aura of his body has long disappeared without a trace. His every move is full of everyone, calm and graceful.

After marrying into the Yang family for 30 years, Liang has always been abide by oneself, giving birth to children for the Yang family, taking care of her husband and children. She was originally a smart person, but as she grew older, she became more and more flawless in dealing with people.

Among the four daughters-in-laws of the Yang family, the eldest daughter-in-law Wang has always been outspoken, while the second daughter-in-law Li does not fight or fight, and has a low sense of existence. The fourth daughter-in-law Zhu is from the Zhu family of Dihuodao, and has many rules and always follows it. Those old-fashioned dogmas have some meanings of being a lady from a noble family.

In contrast, Liang was born into a small business family, and her mother was a shrewd person. She herself was smart and clever since she was a child. She was a little petty at first, but now she has the style of being a mistress.

Liang's housekeeper's ability is definitely the most powerful among the four daughters-in-law.

However, in the face of his daughter-in-law's crying, Liang was also very depressed.

The woman in front of her is Yang Chengyou's wife Yu, who is Yu Tonghai's granddaughter. She has been married to Yang Chengyou for thirteen years and has given birth to two sons and two daughters for Yang Chengyou.

The reason why Yu cried here was because Yang Chengyou wanted to be a king.

The question she was worried about was whether Yang Chengyou should abide by the family rules that Yang's men had a son and could not take concubines after becoming king.

Which emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and which one has many concubines.

Moreover, the emperor's acceptance of concubines is not just a family matter, but also a state matter. Yu is very clear about this, so he will inevitably worry.

What if Yang Chengyou messed with her with some sisters, would she not feel uncomfortable when she watched her all day?

They have been married for more than ten years. The couple was living a stable life, but suddenly Yang Chengyou wanted to be a king. If she had made her a beauties of three thousand, it would be strange if she could be willing.

She had already mentioned this to Yang Chengyou, and Yang Chengyou also promised that she would not accept a concubine, but she was just uneasy.

A man's mouth is a lie, she knows the most about who her husband is.

There are so many intestines. If the Yang family hadn’t been strict with each other, his husband would have been a playboy!

"Mother~~"

Thinking of Yang Chengyou's usual habit of flirting, Yu's crying became even more sad.

"Oh, OK, okay, my mother will make the decision for you. Is it okay for my mother to take you to find my grandmother?" Liang was so helpless that she cried, so she could only say this.

No one can do this except Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.

After all, the state affairs of the dynasty are not simple family affairs. Whether the family rules are large or the state affairs are important, only the two of them can decide.

What Yu wants is the confirmation of Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi. She doesn't really believe Yang Chengyou, but she doesn't have the guarantee of Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi, and she feels uneasy.

When Mrs. Liang heard that Mrs. Liang wanted to take her to find her grandmother, Mrs. Yu immediately raised her head and showed a pretty face with pear blossoms and rain.

"Listen to my mother!"

Liang was angry and laughed at her, "You damn girl, you said you heard from your mother. If you really listen to your mother, don't cry!"

"Well, stop crying!" Yu Shi was so kind, touched the tears on her cheeks, and immediately showed a bright smile.

But her eyes were slightly red and her tears were even more pity.

Liang shook his head helplessly and could only get up and take her to Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi's yard.

When they came over, Yu Qingyi was still domesticating the sea eagle.

Xiao Qier squatted beside her, touching her, and poking her hands, making several young eagles have a very big temper.

Let this naughty kid go away!

Woooo, it's so annoying!

The eagles were a little scared of Xiao Qi'er, and they all hid at Yu Qingyi's feet one by one.

The process of domesticating sea eagles is just a word "grinding". The young eagles are grinding well, letting them know who is the master.

Although Xiao Qi'er was a bit naughty, she became the best whetstone for these young eagles.

There is a difference only when there is a comparison. It was because of Xiao Qi'er's chaos that these young eagles became closer to Yu Qingyi, so Yu Qingyi let Xiao Qi'er play with these young eagles and even taught Xiao Qi'er how to tame them.

"Daughter-in-law pays respects to mother!"

"Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to grandmother!"

Liang and Yu came together. Yu Qingyi looked at them and saw that Yu's eyes were red. She asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Crying!"

Yu was a little shy and lowered her head and was embarrassed to speak.

Liang smiled and then sat next to Yu Qingyi, "It's all because of Chengyou's trouble!"

"What's wrong with Chengyou?" Yu Qingyi just finished speaking, and then reacted and couldn't help laughing.

"Your grandfather is in the study, Qingxia, go and call the master out!"

What do the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of the Yang family like most about the Yang family?

That was naturally the Yang family's rule of 'only those who are 30 years old and have no children can take concubines'.

This rule has saved the Yang family's backyard from many rubbish and allowed the Yang family's daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to live a down-to-earth life.

Soon Yang Zhengshan came out of the study. Listening to Yu Qingyi's explanation, Yang Zhengshan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Although building a dynasty was not a big deal for the Yang family, these people didn't care about the power and wealth of the dynasty at all, but only cared about some strange things.

"That's it?"

"Yeah!" Yu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yang Zhengshan.

Maybe she also felt that it was a bit immature to disturb Yang Zhengshan for this matter.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought about it. This matter was actually not an important matter.

Back then, he set the rule that men in the Yang family could not take concubines because he didn't like those insidious house fights in the family.

House fights, this kind of thing is too common in Darong.

Few of the wealthy families in Darong had peaceful harems, and even deaths were common.

And for so many years, the Yang family has not had such a bad thing, and the family rule of not taking concubines is definitely a great contribution.

Of course, there are other reasons.

The most important reason is that the Yang family has good medical conditions and a high fertility rate.

Things like pregnant women having difficult labor and children dying have never happened in the Yang family.

This is mainly due to the spiritual spring water.

Pregnant women have a good physique, so even if they encounter some troubles during childbirth, they can still persevere.

And young children are nourished by spiritual spring water, so even if they have a headache or fever, they will not die.

With spiritual spring water to strengthen their physique, the risk of women giving birth is reduced to the lowest, and the children can grow up, so the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Yang family can take care of their husbands and children with peace of mind.

As for whether to take more concubines and have more children after establishing a dynasty?

There is no mistake in the content of the first issue of the book, and it is in the 6-9 book bar!

This matter?

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a while and said, "Just tell Chengyou that unless he changes his surname, he must abide by the family rules of our Yang family!"

"Not only him, but also his children and grandchildren in the future!"

The word "sex" is like a knife above the head, and beauty is a knife to scrape the bones.

Moreover, indulging in beauty will not only affect state affairs, but also affect cultivation.

As long as the heirs are guaranteed, there is no need to have so many sons.

Besides, even if there is an accident, the Yang family has so many descendants, whether it is passing on the throne from brother to brother or adopting a child, this is completely no problem in the Yang family.

The Yang family is the Yang family, not the dynasty.

And Yang Zhengshan is now the ancestor of the Yang family. To put it bluntly, he now has a lot of great-grandchildren. If one or two of them die in an accident, he probably won't be too sad.

The Yang family has a small population, and he has deep feelings for everyone in the Yang family.

But now, he has more than a dozen great-grandchildren and more than a dozen great-granddaughters, and he can still be expected to have deep feelings for each of them.

He has love for his children, but it is really difficult for Yang Zhengshan to say how deep his feelings are.

In Yang Zhengshan's view, the newly established dynasty is just an industry of the Yang family, and there is not much difference from the shops of the Yang family business outside.

It's just because this industry is a little bigger, so it needs some stable means to manage it.

The inheritance of the throne naturally has its rules and advantages.

Arranging a descendant to inherit the throne is just to avoid more troubles and disputes in the future.

And the family rules are the foundation of the stability of the Yang family. Yang Zhengshan will not easily modify the family rules that have been set.

After listening to Yang Zhengshan's words, Yu was very happy, "Thank you for your kindness, grandfather!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded, and Liang smiled and said, "Is it relieved now!"

"Yeah!" Yu was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Yu Qingyi was amused by her appearance.

…

The attack on the seven islands of Shenmu went as smoothly as expected. The 25,000 Tenglong Guards and the 2,000 Xingyue Navy directly divided into seven groups and captured the seven islands of Shenmu with great ease. The resistance they encountered was almost negligible.

Attacking islands is actually much easier than attacking cities on land, especially when the elite of Shenmu Sect were all lost. Attacking islands is simply a piece of cake.

Every island was decided by a battle, and it was not even a battle. As soon as the army arrived, the Shenmu Sect members on the islands either surrendered on the spot or fled.

The terrain on the island is simple, the range is limited, and there is no strategic depth to speak of, so the battle will not be delayed for too long.

Therefore, it took only six or seven days for Yang Zhengshan to receive a report that all the seven islands of Shenmu had been taken.

On the tenth day of February, Yang Zhengshan arrived at Shenmu Island.

There is only a small pier on the coast of the northeastern residential area of ​​Shenmu Island. In the past, the Shenmu Sect did not allow outsiders to go to the island, and they would only take a small boat to the island, so there is no big pier or port on this Shenmu Island.

However, the neighboring Shenlin Island and the Guiyun Island in the east both have a large port, especially Guiyun Island, which is the end of the Shenmu Island chain and a must-pass place on the northern route of the Wanli Sea. For example, if the forces around Dayong want to go to the central and eastern parts of the Wanli Sea for trade, they almost have to go through the northern route, pass through Guiyun Island, and resupply on Guiyun Island.

Therefore, Guiyun Island is an extremely prosperous island and the most important economic source of Shenmu Island in the past.

Shenmu Island survives by collecting fees from Guiyun Island, port berthing fees, and merchant ship supplies.

Now the Yang family occupies Xingyue Island and Shenmu Seven Islands, which are connected together. The island chain is thousands of miles long. Although there is not much land territory, it occupies a very advantageous position on the route.

In the future, the Yang family only needs to ensure the normal operation of the ports of Beihuan Island and Guiyun Island, and then collect a small amount of tolls. Then the Yang family is equivalent to occupying a golden route.

I dare not say more, but it is still easy to earn two or three million taels of silver a year.

Yang Zhengshan first came to the sea area near Shenmu Island on a large ship, and then changed to a small boat to board Shenmu Island.

Yang Mingzhi, Yang Minghao and Xue Ping had been waiting for him at the dock.

When he got off the boat, the three immediately came forward to greet him.

"Dad!"

"Uncle!"

Yang Zhengshan jumped off the boat and looked up at the island.

With his eyesight, the scene more than ten miles away was almost clear, and what came into his eyes was the lush forest.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a tree makes a forest. The key is that this tree is like a mountain. From a distance, it looks like a lush green hill.

"How is it? How are the casualties?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Xue Ping replied: "Don't worry, uncle. The casualties are very small. The other six islands have almost no resistance. Only Shenmu Island has some resistance. However, when we landed on the island, we first sent a real elite, so we took it down with almost no casualties!"

"Yes!" Yang Zhengshan nodded, and then walked towards the island, "What about the followers of Shenmu?"

"According to uncle, all those who should be killed were killed, and no one on Shenmu Island was left alive. There are probably more than 100,000 people on the other islands, among which Guiyun Island has the most. Among the seven Shenmu islands, Guiyun Island is the most open, and the belief of Shenmu is the weakest!" Xue Ping said.

The more open, the weaker the belief, which sounds really reasonable!

As for the believers who were killed, Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to even ask.

There were only a few hundred thousand people left on the six islands, which sounds like a lot, but don't forget that the Shenmu Church had 500,000 or 600,000 believers, which means that about 400,000 people were massacred by the Tenglong Guards!

Well, it sounds cruel, but this is the reality.

In the vast sea, various forces are fighting endlessly, and the rise and fall of forces can be said to be one after another, and the people at the bottom are the easiest to be massacred.

Even if the massacre is spread, the various forces will only think that the Yang family's methods are a bit cruel, and at most they will complain, but no one will come to uphold justice.
