Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

At this time, Changshou Village has changed.

It was originally a piece of barren land, but now it has built houses and small courtyards.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi strolled in the village, looking at those courtyards.

"It still looks a bit shabby!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan laughed, "It's only been a short time, it's good to have a place to live!"

More than 30 households, that is, more than 30 courtyards, which doesn't sound like much, but don't forget that there are not many young and strong people here.

There are more than 30 young and strong men, more than 30 young and strong women, and the rest are all children.

It's not easy to build such a house in such a short time with so few people.

After passing through the village, the two came to the farmland in the south of the village.

Now everyone is busy reclaiming farmland and digging canals.

In fact, it is not difficult to reclaim farmland here. They are all relatively fine land, without too many stones and debris. You just need to weed and turn the ground.

Compared with this, it is more difficult to cultivate farmland on Shenmu Island. The wasteland on Shenmu Island is really wasteland. There are not only weeds, but also many trees, rocks and other messy things.

And here, a few years ago, it was a dark and fertile land. Yang Zhengshan just scattered some grass seeds here.

"Dad, mother, you are here!"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi coming, Yang Mingcheng immediately came to greet them.

At this time, Yang Mingcheng was almost like a farmer, wearing a short shirt and shorts, barefoot, and muddy. He didn't look like a master of the Yang family at all.

Wang was also there, and she was dressed like a farmer.

Originally, Yang Zhengshan was afraid that she couldn't adapt to the life here. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although Wang used to be a farmer, she has been a noble lady for the past 20 to 30 years. Therefore, Yang Zhengshan thought she would be angry and unwilling to stay here.

Unexpectedly, Wang was quite happy here, busy all day long, without any dissatisfaction at all.

At this time, everyone was busy digging canals. A group of young men were digging with shovels, and the speed was almost catching up with the excavator.

The young wives were not idle either. Except for a few young wives who were taking care of children in the village, the others were building field fences.

"Have the rice seedlings been raised?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yang Mingcheng replied: "Well, it's done! The paddy fields here will be completed in two days. When the paddy fields are finished, we can go up the mountain to reclaim the tea garden!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at the hillside behind, "The tea garden has been reclaimed, call me, I will take you to transplant the tea trees!"

There are no tea trees here. The tea trees are all on the hillside next to the spiritual spring. It is more than 40 miles away from here. The key is to cross mountains and ridges. If they rely on themselves, it will take a long time to migrate the tea trees.

But Yang Zhengshan's help is different. He can take people there and bring them back in an instant, which can save a lot of time.

As for how Yang Mingcheng can contact Yang Zhengshan in space, it is very simple, just shout.

As long as the sound is loud enough, Yang Zhengshan can hear it.

After entering the space, Yang Zhengshan can see and hear the situation outside the space. Similarly, outside the space, Yang Zhengshan can also hear the sound inside the space.

However, the sound will become very small, and it is easy for Yang Zhengshan to ignore it if he does not pay attention.

So Yang Mingcheng needs to shout very loudly.

After briefly understanding the progress of Changshou Village, Yang Zhengshan took Yu Qingyi to Lingquan Mountain.

They still need to focus their energy here, because there are many spiritual fruit trees here that need their care, and there are also Taoist holy lotus in the lake.

The Taoist holy lotus is the most important treasure in the space, and Yang Zhengshan dare not be careless at all.

In addition, the construction of Changshou Village has not been completed yet, and many things still need Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi to do it themselves, such as brewing wine, frying tea, collecting honey, preparing medicinal materials, etc.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were busy in the space for most of the day before returning to Shenmu Island.

As soon as they walked out of the study, they heard Qingxia say that the two followers who went with Li Chang to look for Yang Mingzhao had returned.

"Oh! Did they find someone?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"I have already found out some information. They are waiting in the front yard!" Qingxia said softly with her head down.

She already knew the news about Yang Mingzhao. At this time, her heart was also in a mess. She didn't know what to do!

She didn't participate in Yang Mingzhao's rebellion, but she provided a lot of supplies and silver to support Yang Mingzhao.

In the past few years, Yang Mingzhao borrowed silver and resources from her every time he came back, which emptied her family.

She didn't think about returning the silver and resources. She was alone and didn't need the silver and resources. It didn't matter whether she used tea, wine and other things.

In other words, the spiritual fruit was useful to her, and Yang Mingzhao didn't need it the most.

And Yang Mingzhao grew up under her care, almost like her own child. She naturally didn't care about the return when she gave things to Yang Mingzhao.

Yu Qingyi glanced at Qingxia, "What's wrong?"

Qingxia quickly shook her head, "Nothing, the Fourth Master is safe!"

Yu Qingyi felt something was strange, she didn't know what kind of personality Qingxia had.

Qingxia should be very happy to know the news about Yang Mingzhao, but now she doesn't look happy at all, but worried.

Yu Qingyi frowned when she saw that she didn't explain, and followed Yang Zhengshan to the front yard.

Soon, they learned about Yang Mingzhao from two close followers.

After listening, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi fell silent.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Yu Qingyi lowered her head and looked at her delicate palm, but she was secretly looking at Yang Zhengshan.

Now, let alone Qingxia's worry, even Yu Qingyi was worried that Yang Zhengshan would be angry.

After so many years of marriage, Yu Qingyi rarely saw Yang Zhengshan angry, because Yang Zhengshan had never been angry with his family, but today Yu Qingyi felt that Yang Zhengshan might be angry about Yang Mingzhao's matter.

So is Yang Zhengshan angry?

He is definitely angry, but not as angry as imagined.

The relationship between the Yang family and Darong is still there, but it is not as deep as imagined. To be precise, Yang Zhengshan's feelings for Darong are not as deep as imagined.

He is not a member of Darong. Although Darong gave him wealth and glory, he fought for it on the battlefield.

Whether it was a title or an official position, they were all earned by his real military exploits.

He didn't owe Darong anything, but Darong owed him a lot.

Apart from anything else, Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard were the most precious things he gave to Darong.

That was more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and two to three million wealthy people and military households.

You can say that Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard belonged to the Yang family, but they belonged to Darong even more.

Unfortunately, the Darong court had always been wary of the existence of the Yang family, and had never used the power of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard. Instead, it had always been on guard against Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard, that is, on guard against the Yang family.

Bandits were everywhere in the three provinces of Longyuan, and Shanhe Province was also poisoned by bandits. The Darong court even mobilized the imperial army, but was unwilling to mobilize Chongshan Town and the Beihai Navy.

This means that both Emperor Jianxing and the civil and military officials of the court are wary of the Yang family and are unwilling to allow the elite troops of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard to enter Shanhe Province.

If the court mobilizes the troops of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard, I dare not say anything else, but it will definitely stop the bandits from entering Shanhe Province.

And now the question Yang Zhengshan is considering is whether the contradiction between the Yang family and the court can be resolved.

What is the contradiction between the Yang family and the court?

First, the interests of the Yang family in Tenglong Guard, no, to be precise, the interests of the six families of Yu, Xie, Han, Wu, Xue and Zhang in Tenglong Guard.

The interests of these six families are also the interests of the Yang family. If the court wants to touch the interests of Tenglong Guard, these six families will not agree first.

Second, it is Chongshan Town. The Yang family has long been deeply rooted in Chongshan Town. This cannot be changed by changing the governor and the general. If you want to uproot the Yang family from Chongshan Town, you must first destroy Chongshan Town and then rebuild it.

With the Yang family's control over Chongshan Town, any emperor with a temper would probably not tolerate it and would try every means to get rid of the Yang family.

But from the perspective of the Yang family, Chongshan Town was built up by the Yang family and the Yang clan. The original Chongshan Town was also conquered by Yang Zhengshan and the Tenglong Guards. Later, many of the Yang family and the Yang clan's children were invested in Chongshan Town.

It can be said that Chongshan Town today was almost built by the Yang family and the Yang clan.

The court could not tolerate the Yang family occupying Chongshan Town and controlling Tenglong Guard. The Yang clan and the six families of Tenglong Guard would certainly not give up their efforts and interests in Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard.

Now these two issues have become an inseparable contradiction.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar!

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan looked up at his two followers.

"Can this be confirmed?"

The attendant thought for a while and said, "The news comes from Yangtian Sect, it should not be false, but whether it can be confirmed or not depends on Li Tou's return!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can go and rest first."

"Yes!" The two attendants responded and left the hall.

Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Zhengshan, "What are your plans?"

Yang Zhengshan was silent for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when Mingzhao comes back!"

Yu Qingyi looked at his expression and saw that his face was calm and his eyes were calm, which made her even more worried.

"Master!"

She couldn't help but want to plead for Yang Mingzhao.

But before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Yang Zhengshan, "Everything will be discussed when Mingzhao comes back!"

Seeing him like this, Yu Qingyi could only take back the words on her lips.

But Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Zhengshan with an unhappy face, and the resentful eyes made Yang Zhengshan very uncomfortable.

Damn, this is the first time my wife has shown such a look!

What does this mean?

Angry?

Dissatisfied?

Want to hit someone?

Yang Zhengshan coughed lightly, "Ahem, okay, okay, I surrender, Madam, don't worry, I will definitely not beat this bastard to death."

"Do you still want to beat him to death?" Yu Qingyi said.

"There must be no less physical pain! Beating him to death is not enough!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Yu Qingyi blinked, "Then beat him!"

Yang Zhengshan laughed, stood up and took Yu Qingyi's hand, "Madam, don't be angry, the bastard is making trouble, parents must teach him a lesson!"

"You beat him before, didn't you!"

Yu Qingyi said: "How can it be the same? He was still young at that time!"

In the past, Yang Zhengshan was a kind father, and Yu Qingyi was a strict mother. If Yang Mingzhao dared to be naughty, Yu Qingyi would immediately slap him on his buttocks.

But now that the strict mother has become a kind mother, Yang Zhengshan, the kind father, will naturally become stricter.

“Same, same!” Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

What made him most angry was not that Yang Mingzhao was rebelling, but that Yang Mingzhao had kept it a secret from them and had not returned home for such a long time.

His old father and mother at home were worried about him, his wife was even more uneasy every day, and his children were not taken care of by their father.

As a son, a husband, and a father, Yang Mingzhao did not do well. Do you think he should be beaten?

So Yang Zhengshan made up his mind to teach his own son an unforgettable lesson.

Yu Qingyi was not worried that Yang Zhengshan would beat Yang Mingzhao to death. She could not help but understand Yang Zhengshan's temper. No matter how harsh Yang Zhengshan said, he was soft-hearted towards his son.

In the past, the one who doted on Mingzhao the most was Yang Zhengshan, the father.

He really couldn't bear to beat him or scold him. Every time he saw his son, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

What Yu Qingyi cared about was whether Yang Zhengshan would support Yang Mingzhao?

In fact, her heart was also in a mess. She herself had not thought clearly whether to support Yang Mingzhao.

But she just hopes that Yang Zhengshan can support Yang Mingzhao.

"Tell me what you think?" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "It's too early to say anything now. We must first figure out Mingzhao's thoughts. If he really wants to do something big, if he has the ability to do something big, it's not too late for us to talk about whether to support him or not!"

"And we also have to consider the attitudes of others, the various families of Tenglongwei and the Yang family, are they willing to follow our Yang family to change the dynasty!"

"This is not an attack on the Shenmu Sect and the Tarot Dynasty, that's just a small fight, no one will take it to heart!"

"But Darong is different. Although Darong is now an old tiger, it is still a tiger!"

"There are also those rebels and bandits in Darong. They seem to be insignificant and just a mob, but as time goes by, they will surely become complete forces!"

"Once we support Yang Mingzhao, we will face a chaotic struggle involving tens of millions of people!"

"Our Yang family is now powerful, with dozens of innate warriors, but we also have to consider all aspects!"

"And the most troublesome thing is to have a legitimate reason! What our Yang family lacks most in rebelling is a legitimate reason!"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head gently, feeling very headache about this matter.

Justification is not something that can be achieved by just saying it.

There must be a reason for the teacher to go out, and the Yang family just can't do it.

The Yang family is a minister of Darong and a noble of Darong. From Yang Zhengshan to Yang Chengye, they are all ministers of Darong.

If the Yang family rebels, they will be traitors.

If the name is not right, the words will not flow; if the words are not flow, the matter will not be accomplished.

So even if the Yang family wanted to rebel, they had to first do it legitimately.

As for how to do it legitimately, Yang Zhengshan really needed to think about it carefully.
