Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan gently touched Chen Yan's head. The nine-year-old girl already knew how to read people's expressions, which made people feel interesting and pitiful.

"Wang Lei!"

"Yes!" Wang Lei, who was standing outside the door, heard the call and immediately responded.

Yang Zhengshan ordered: "Go to the government office and tell them to register Yan'er's household, and then tell Hongyun that Yan'er's expenses will be the same as those of the Yang family's children in the future!"

After the Yang family's children got married, they could receive monthly allowances of 500 taels per month, which seemed like a lot, but it was not, because they had to live on their own after getting married, and they had to pay for the monthly allowances of their servants and maids, and they had to use their children themselves.

In addition to the guards, all expenses were to be borne by themselves.

In the courtyards of these people, there are dozens of maids and servants, and the monthly wages of these maids and servants are a considerable expense. The lowest monthly wages are two taels of silver per month, and the highest monthly wages are twenty or thirty taels per month. With dozens of servants, at least a thousand taels of silver will be spent in a year.

In addition, there are other expenses in the family, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., which they must be responsible for themselves.

Five hundred taels per month may seem like a lot, but in fact, it can only make them like a small wealthy family, and it is not enough for them to waste and indulge in extravagance.

For Chen Yan, five hundred taels per month is enough for her to live a worry-free life.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan will not only give monthly wages, "The school on the island has been built, and you can enroll next year. Yan'er will also enroll next year!"

"Yes, Master, don't worry, Yan'er will study hard!" Chen Yan said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded and smiled gently: "Well, Master knows that Yan'er is a good child!"

"Take Yan'er to the yard to have a look. If you need anything, you can come directly to Qingxia and Hongyun. They will arrange everything!"

"You don't know Qingxia and Hongyun yet, Li Chang, take him to meet Qingxia and Hongyun."

After arranging Chen Yan's affairs, Yang Zhengshan returned to the backyard.

Yu Qingyi was still busy in the space. Yang Zhengshan came to the study in the backyard and entered the space.

At this time, Yu Qingyi was harvesting dragon bone fruit. Dragon bone fruit has begun to bear fruit this year, and the number of fruits is not small, as many as thousands?

Dragon bone fruit is different from Sanhuang plum and Bingxin fruit. Sanhuang plum and Bingxin fruit have only one seed per fruit, but dragon bone fruit has dozens of seeds.

When Yang Zhengshan got the dragon bone fruit, he planted more than 30 dragon bone flowers, and now these dragon bone flowers have borne fruit.

Now in the space, only the Seven-orifice Passive Meridian Fruit has not yet borne fruit, and the others have basically been used freely.

Yang Zhengshan has also made new achievements in his research on the Soul-Attaching Pill. He can already refine the Soul-Attaching Pill of wind attribute. Unfortunately, neither Yang Zhengshan nor Yu Qingyi cultivates the Dao of wind attribute.

Yang Zhengshan cultivates the Dao of thunder attribute, and Yu Qingyi cultivates the Dao of wood attribute.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming, Yu Qingyi asked, "Have you seen Princess Mingxi?"

"Yes, I have!" Yang Zhengshan took a basket and began to pick dragon bone fruits.

It is a joyful thing to harvest thousands of dragon bone fruits at one time.

Dragon bone fruit can enhance the power of warriors. This ability seems a bit useless, but it is not. Power can actually be understood as Dao.

Such as knife power, sword power, spear power, etc.

A knife chops down, with thousands of momentum, breathtaking, and shocking.

So dragon bone fruit can also be refined into Soul-Attaching Pill.

Yang Zhengshan's next step is to study the spirit-attaching pill with the attribute of power.

Although he and Yu Qingyi can't use it, others may be able to use it.

And even if you can't comprehend the meaning of the power attribute, it's good to improve your momentum, which can be used to scare people, no, it should be to deter the villains.

"You didn't talk to her?" Yu Qingyi asked casually while picking dragon bone fruits.

"What did you talk to her about?" Yang Zhengshan said.

"She must want to ask you to go back." Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, "The answer is bound to disappoint her, so why talk more?"

"But you have to talk to her!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan said indifferently: "Then let's delay it for a few days, so that she can be mentally prepared and don't have too many expectations."

Yu Qingyi thought about it, and it was better to delay it for a few days, so that Chen Mingxi wouldn't expect too much.

Then she stopped asking about Chen Mingxi.

In fact, according to reason, she should be the one to receive Chen Mingxi, but she has never met Chen Mingxi, so naturally there is no friendship between them, and her attitude can also represent Yang Zhengshan's attitude, so it is better for her not to show up.

"Where is Yan'er?"

"She has been arranged to stay, and she will stay on Shenmu Island in the future!"

"Will Darong agree?" Yu Qingyi asked.

Yang Zhengshan sneered, "They probably can't take care of a little girl, and do we need them to agree?"

Now he is even more dissatisfied with Emperor Jianxing.

Although Fang An did not elaborate, he had guessed that Chen Yan's life in Kyoto was not very good.

The emperor is so fickle. It is better to rely on him as the master than to rely on Chen Zhaojun, the emperor uncle, to take care of his niece.

Yu Qingyi stopped what he was doing and asked, "If our family took away the Chen family's kingdom, the little girl would not hate us, right!"

Yang Zhengshan paused when he heard this.

"No, she is a smart girl!"

"Are you sure!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan said, "Don't worry, she will figure it out, and Fang An around her will also figure it out!"

"Besides, our Yang family will take over the territory of Darong, but who said that we robbed the territory of Chen family?"

A little girl is not worthy of Yang Zhengshan's concern, but he doesn't want to raise an ungrateful wolf by himself.

Although it was only the first time to come into contact, he could see that Chen Yan was a smart little girl.

And isn’t Fang An still there?

Fang An is a sensible person, and he should know how to teach Chen Yan.

Yu Qingyi chuckled, "It seems that you have a plan in your mind! But who do you plan to be the emperor!"

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "Let's inherit the business!"

"Why?" Yu Qingyi was curious.

Yang Zhengshan looked at her, "Because you don't want Ming Zhao to be the emperor!"

Yu Qingyi smiled and said, "That's right. I still hope that Mingzhao can practice hard and reach a higher level!"

She not only hopes that Yang Mingzhao will become a congenital warrior, but also hopes that Yang Mingzhao can keep up with her and Yang Zhengshan's footsteps and reach a higher level of martial arts, that is, a state above the innate realm.

Although she didn't know whether she and Yang Zhengshan could reach the innate realm, this did not prevent her from having any hope.

Because the higher the cultivation level, the longer the life span, the longer the life span, and the cultivation level can extend the life span when it reaches the innate realm, then reaching the state above the innate realm should also extend the life span.

For her mother, everything else is empty. Only the son is alive and not allowing her to give birth to black hair is the most important thing.

Yang Zhengshan continued to explain: "The main reason is that Chengye is in charge of Chongshan Town. He has enough troops in his hands, so it is easier to unify the country."

"It will take at least twenty years for Yang Mingzhao to unify the country. With the little force under his command, it is too early to end this chaotic world!"

Although Yang Mingzhao and Yang Chengye are uncles and nephews, both of them are from the Yang family, they cannot be confused.

Yang Zhengshan passed the title to Yang Chengye, which means that Yang Chengye inherited Chongshan Town. What he represents is not his own interests, but the interests of the entire Chongshan Town.

It includes the interests of many people, including the Yang clan, the Tianqing Sword Sect, Tenglong Guard, etc.

It is true that Yang Mingzhao is Yang Zhengshan's son, but he has not been recognized by Chongshan Town. He is a stranger in Chongshan Town.

Not to mention others, even Lu Wenyuan and Lin Zhan are not familiar with him.

In comparison, Yang Chengye has been recognized by them and is also a person they are familiar with.

If Yang Mingzhao is asked to replace Yang Chengye, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people.

On the contrary, it would be much easier if Yang Chengye had accepted the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army had only been established for a few years, and there were not so many interests involved, and there were not many forces involved in it.

There are only a few people who are in the same position. Chen Buyu represents the Chen family, Li Baoshan represents the Li family, and there is also Li Wenchun.

The others are from the Yang family, so there is no need to worry too much.

Chen Buyu, Li Baoshan and Li Wenchun are also easy to pass on. As long as they are given an official position, they should be able to satisfy them.

If you are not satisfied, it will be easy for Yang Chengye to deal with it.

Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, it is more appropriate for Yang Chengye to follow the path of the emperor.

...

The courtyard arranged by Yang Zhengshan for Chen Mingxi is quite good. This courtyard is called Guixiang Garden, which is a courtyard specially used by Shenmu City to entertain guests.

Although the courtyard is not big, the scenery is very good.

Just when Yang Zhengshan entered the space, Liang also arranged Chen Mingxi's side. Liang was doing things carefully and meticulously. After Wang moved into Lingquan Space, Liang was responsible for handling some miscellaneous things at home.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

In fact, Liang doesn’t have to worry about ordinary things, that is, when a customer comes, she needs to come forward to take care of it.

After arranging the affairs of Guixiang Garden, Liang took his leave first.

At this time, only the people brought by Chen Mingxi were left in Guixiang Garden.

As His Royal Highness of Darong's princess, Chen Mingxi naturally would not be short of people to serve. This time she came to Shenmu Island, she brought thousands of people. In addition to the personal army she accompanied, there were also forty or fifty eunuchs and maids. ma.

After Liang left, Chen Mingxi's expression became a little worried.

"Your Highness, the Yang family's attitude does not seem to be very good!"

In the hall, the nanny beside Chen Mingxi said softly.

Chen Mingxi looked up at the lush osmanthus tree in the yard and said softly: "What was expected!"

"This~~" the nanny's face looked a little bad.

As the nanny who served Chen Mingxi all her life, she naturally felt that Chen Mingxi was extremely noble.

It is naturally not wrong to say that Chen Mingxi is noble. In Darong, Chen Mingxi is a congenital warrior of the royal family, and his status is only below the emperor and a few predecessors.

The Yang family's attitude towards Chen Mingxi seemed to be well-mannered, but in fact they just didn't care much.

Even the nanny felt that her princess was not as good as the little princess Chen Yan here.

Well, her feelings are not wrong. In Yang Zhengshan's heart, Chen Mingxi is indeed not as important as Chen Yan.

Yang Zhengshan and Chen Mingxi are not even a common friendship, at most it is because of Darong's love.

Chen Yan is Yang Zhengshan's serious disciple, and Chen Yan is Chen Zhaoxuan's only flesh and blood, so Yang Zhengshan must take care of him more.

"Did you see it?" Chen Mingxi asked instead of caring about the nanny's dissatisfaction.

"What did you see?" The nanny was a little puzzled.

"Prosperity!" Chen Mingxi turned around and walked to the armchair in the hall and sat down. "The prosperity of this Shenmu Island, although many places seem very simple, the prosperity of the port is obvious to all."

"So many merchant ships, so many people! All show that this is a prosperous place!"

"And the strength, those navy who brought us here are definitely the elite among the elite!"

"Yang Zhengshan is good at training soldiers, this is a well-known fact. A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the current strength of the Yang family is far greater than before!"

"They have the strength to dominate here, why do they want to go back to Darong?"

Chen Mingxi felt a little bitter in her heart, and at the same time she blamed Emperor Yanping for her nephew, and didn't understand why Emperor Yanping wanted a person like Yang Zhengshan to leave Darong.

In fact, she had wrongly blamed Emperor Yanping. Given the situation of the Yang family at the time, both Yang Zhengshan and Emperor Yanping had to let the Yang family leave Darong, and it was the best result for the Yang family to leave Darong.

Of course, Emperor Yanping also made mistakes. After the Yang family left Darong, Emperor Yanping no longer cared about the Yang family. He did not maintain the close relationship between Darong and the Yang family, and at the same time he was afraid of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard.

This made the Yang family and Darong go further and further apart.

The Yang family was no longer a minister of Darong, and the friendship between the Yang family and the Darong royal family became estranged.

At this time, Chen Mingxi realized that it would be difficult for him to invite Yang Zhengshan back.

In the following days, Yang Zhengshan did not come to see Chen Mingxi, which proved that Chen Mingxi's guess was correct.

In the end, Chen Mingxi had to lower his posture and meet Yang Zhengshan.

But just when Yang Zhengshan was about to meet Chen Mingxi, Shenmu Island welcomed a guest who surprised him.

An Yuxing is here!

This was something Yang Zhengshan did not expect.

He knew that An Yuxing had left Sanshan Valley, and he thought that An Yuxing would come to him in the future, but he did not expect An Yuxing to come so soon.

"Haha, Senior An, long time no see!" Yang Zhengshan was much more enthusiastic towards An Yuxing.

An Yuxing was still the same, unkempt and ignoring the wine.

He also had a wine gourd hanging around his waist, and he smelled of strong alcohol.

"Haha, have you prepared wine for me?" An Yuxing came over and laughed.

Yang Zhengshan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Of course, Zuixian Brew, Baicao Brew, and the Qianbeizui I brewed recently!"

"Qianbeizui?" An Yuxing's eyes lit up.

Yang Zhengshan laughed and said, "Try it!"

The two walked side by side into the back hall of the front yard, where wine and food had been prepared long ago, especially wine and water, with more than a dozen pots.

"Let me try Qianbeizui!" An Yuxing was a little impatient.

Yang Zhengshan picked up a bronze wine pot and poured him a glass.

"This wine is very interesting!"

An Yuxing was not polite either, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

As the wine entered his throat, a light spicy feeling came immediately, and then it entered his stomach, and another strong and extremely hot current spread out.

Then An Yuxing felt a sense of comfort all over his body, as if every pore was breathing, and his whole body felt unobstructed.

"This is it!" An Yuxing showed a surprised look.

He was not surprised whether the Thousand Cups of Drunk tasted good, but the effect of the Thousand Cups of Drunk.

He could clearly feel that the Thousand Cups of Drunk had the effect of purifying the true qi.

Yang Zhengshan said complacently: "This is the wine I brewed with great effort, not bad!"

Thousand Cups of Drunk, the name seems to have nothing special.

Well, this name was just given by Yang Zhengshan casually.

It means that this wine is not strong enough, and drinking a thousand cups may not make you drunk.

The alcohol content is low, and the Drunken Immortal Grass has not been added, so its taste is very light.

But the value of Thousand Cups of Drunk far exceeds that of Baicao Niang, Drunken Immortal Niang, and all the wines that Yang Zhengshan brewed before, because it is brewed with spiritual fruits.

It contains Qingling fruit, Yunberry fruit and Hansong fruit, and the quantity is quite large.

Qianbeizui not only has all the effects of Lingquan water, but also has the effects of expanding meridians, purifying true qi, and concentrating the mind and calming the spirit.

It is almost the same as a panacea that cures all diseases.

And its medicinal effect is very mild. Not only can Xiantian warriors drink it, but even ordinary people can drink it.

The number of Qianbeizui brewed this year is relatively small, but Yang Zhengshan should brew a large amount next year, and then he will add it to the cultivation salary.
