Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

The training ground was just to the west of the Wannian Banyan tree. An Yuxing ran directly to the Wannian Banyan tree, holding a wine gourd and looking at the soldiers who were training in the training ground.

"Boy, where did those soldiers come from?" An Yuxing asked.

"Them!" Yang Chengmao looked at them and said, "They used to be the people of Xingyue Island."

An Yuxing said thoughtfully, "They all seem to have good talents!"

"Yeah!" Yang Chengmao nodded.

In this regard, An Yuxing was not as smart as Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen had already discovered the problem with the wine, but An Yuxing had drunk so much and had not noticed it until now.

The wine Yang Zhengshan gave An Yuxing was many times more than that given to Ji Zhen. An Yuxing knew which wine tasted good and which wine had no taste, and had never thought carefully about the effects of those wines.

"Those bows and arrows?" An Yuxing noticed the strong archers training in the training ground.

Yang Chengmao explained, "Master, those are all ten-stone strong bows."

"Ten stones? So many?" An Yuxing was a little surprised.

It's not that Darong doesn't have strong bows with more than 10 stones, but the number is not large.

It's mainly due to the limitation of bow making materials. It's not that there are no materials suitable for making strong bows, but those materials suitable for making strong bows are more suitable for making other weapons.

There are few warrior archers, and martial arts masters don't have such a great demand for strong bows, which makes strong bows with more than 10 stones rare.

And the aerial roots of the Wannian Banyan are very suitable for making the bow body of the strong bow, which is simply a unique bow making material.

Previously, the Yang family seized nearly 500 strong bows from the Shenmu Sect, 300 on Xingyue Island, and more than 200 on the Shenmu Seven Islands.

Although the Yang family has begun to study the manufacturing technology of strong bows in the past few months, it will take another year or so to mass-produce strong bows.

So at present, there are only 500 strong archers in the Shenmu Navy who are training archery, but this number is already a lot in An Yuxing's eyes.

Yang Chengmao smiled and pointed at the aerial roots under him, saying: "Master, the aerial roots of this banyan tree are good materials for making strong bows, and the bark of the banyan tree can be used to draw silk and can also be used to make bowstrings!"

"It is said that the bowstrings of those strong bows are made of deer tendons and the bark of the banyan tree, but I don't know much about this, I only know a rough idea!"

The process of making a strong bow is still very troublesome. It takes more than a year to make a top-quality strong bow.

Although the Yang family inherited the bow-making process of the Shenmu Sect, many processes require time to complete, so it was said earlier that the Yang family would have to wait for a year and a half to make strong bows in large quantities.

An Yuxing looked down at the lush banyan tree under his feet, and couldn't help but sighed: "I didn't expect this big tree to be so extraordinary!"

"My grandfather said that the banyan tree is full of treasures, so let us take good care of it!" Yang Chengmao said.

"Well!" After being surprised for a while, An Yuxing continued to observe the soldiers in the parade ground.

"Does your grandfather have other treasures?" Yang Chengmao asked in confusion, "Master, what do you mean?" An Yuxing stroked his graying beard and said, "Your progress in cultivation is a bit unreasonable. Look at those soldiers, all of them are acquired warriors, and they are all around 20 years old!" "There are many such talented warriors in Darong. There were two or three thousand in the previous martial arts pavilion, but the martial arts pavilion has gathered more than half of Darong's geniuses!" "And you?" "How many people are there in Shenmu Island now, and how many people are there in Darong?" Yang Chengmao couldn't help but smile when he heard it, "Master, you are right, my grandfather has a lot of treasures!" "Oh, what treasures?" An Yuxing became interested. He felt that Yang Zhengshan had a lot of secrets, but he knew it was too difficult to get information from Yang Zhengshan, so he chose to get information from his apprentice Yang Chengmao. "Haha, Master, isn't the wine you drink a treasure? This wine is more precious than precious medicine outside!" Yang Chengmao is not so easy to fool. Of course, the Yang family has many secrets, but the Yang family's secrets have strict confidentiality principles.

Yang Zhengshan did not make any other regulations, but only made confidentiality requirements for the number of spiritual fruits.

"Wine!" An Yuxing looked at the wine gourd in his hand and nodded, "I know this, but this wine should not have such a big effect!"

Yang Chengmao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, did you drink all the wine that grandpa gave you?"

An Yuxing said, "Of course, they are all my wines, why should I give them to others!"

He is an old alcoholic and loves alcohol.

Everything else can be shared, but good wine cannot be shared.

Yang Chengmao spread his hands, "This wine is naturally not very effective for you, but it has a great effect on ordinary warriors and acquired warriors!"

"Ordinary warriors can drink it to strengthen their physical fitness and repair hidden injuries. If they can drink it frequently, they can practice with half the effort."

An Yuxing was a little confused, "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Yang Chengmao said, "As far as I know, many people have improved their cultivation because of drinking these wines!"

"Like your disciple Qinyong, he started drinking these wines at the age of fifteen. Now he is twenty-one years old and his cultivation has reached the second level of the acquired realm."

"In fact, my nephews are all similar. They can enter the acquired realm at around the age of twenty, and then break through every two or three years. If nothing unexpected happens, they can reach the ninth level of the acquired realm at the age of forty!"

Although Yang Chengmao did not know the existence of Lingquan water, he had discovered the secret of the wine long ago.

In fact, the secret of the wine is no longer a secret within the Yang family, nor is it a secret in other families. It's just that only a few people outside have discovered this secret.

An Yuxing looked at the wine gourd in his hand, and then looked up at the soldiers in the parade ground. His face turned pale, and then he couldn't help but burst out a swear word, "Fuck~~"

He has always been brooding over those useless descendants, thinking that they are a bunch of wastes, and their cultivation progress is so slow.

Looking at the descendants of the Yang family, and then looking at the descendants of their An family, sometimes he really wants to slap those useless descendants to death.

It's okay to be inferior to the Yang family, but it's not as good as other families.

Such as the Liang family, the Zhou family, the Hengdao Gate, the Xue family, etc.

In recent years, many young talents have emerged in the Xue family of Haichangbo Mansion, but his An family, except An Chenhui, has not produced a decent talent.

Now thinking back, An Yuxing suddenly realized that he drank the resources of his descendants.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"I'm really, really~~"

He really wanted to curse, and wanted to curse himself, but he didn't curse in the end.

"Can they drink such wine?" An Yuxing pointed to the training ground opposite and asked.

Yang Chengmao hesitated, "Occasionally, they can drink it. During the New Year and other festivals, grandpa will reward them and have people prepare wine and food for them to have a big meal!"

An Yuxing felt a little distressed.

Damn, how much wine has he drunk in these years?

Although Yang Zhengshan left Darong, he never forgot him. He would send him 20 to 30 jars of wine every year. These wines could have been used as resources for cultivating his descendants, but he ended up drinking them all.

If he had known that this wine had such an effect, he would have endured it and drank less.

Alas~~

An Yuxing left without saying goodbye. No, he asked Yang Chengmao to say goodbye to Yang Zhengshan for him.

As for what he left to do, it was very simple. He wanted to move the An family to Shenmu Island.

The old man was cunning, and he went back to call people without consulting Yang Zhengshan.

He wanted to rely on Yang Zhengshan and the Yang family.

Just when An Yuxing left, Yang Chengye arrived at Shenmu Island.

Standing on the bow, Yang Chengye looked at the port under construction, feeling a little excited, and felt like a wanderer returning home.

Although this was his first time to Shenmu Island, the Yang family was his home, and his home should be wherever Yang Zhengshan was.

Before Yang Chengye's ship entered the dock, he saw many figures standing on the platform on the dock.

"Dad!" A half-grown boy jumped up and waved at him.

Yang Chengye looked at the figures of those people and a bright smile appeared on his face.

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

Yu and Yang Ruohan, who were standing beside him, also showed a look of joy.

Especially Yang Ruohan, who waved happily and shouted: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, big sister!"

Yang Chengye has three sons and two daughters. Except for the youngest daughter Yang Ruohan, the other children are on Shenmu Island. Yang Ruohan did not come to Shenmu Island because she is still young.

She is only ten years old now, and the Yang family has formed a tacit understanding that children outside will be sent to the Yang family to practice when they are thirteen years old. When they become warriors at the age of fifteen, they will start to arrange their marriages. After marriage, they should have children and practice when they should practice.

If there is no necessary reason, just stay in the Yang family honestly.

So Yang Chengye's three sons Yang Qinyuan, Yang Qinming and Yang Qinsheng are all on the island, and his daughter Yang Ruochen is also on the island. She married Wu Zhan's youngest son Wu Anhe.

At this time, it was Yang Chengye's children and grandchildren who stood at the port to greet them.

The ship docked, and everyone ran to greet them. Yang Chengye smiled and wrinkled his face!

Yu was also very happy. She looked at this grandson and hugged that granddaughter.

"Dad, let's go home quickly. Great-grandfather is still waiting for you at home!" Yang Qinyuan stood beside Yang Chengye and reminded him softly.

Yang Chengye nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back first!"

Then they changed to a small boat and headed to the other side of the lake.

When they got off the boat again, Yang Qinyuan introduced it to Yang Chengye.

"Dad, this is the commercial area. The government office has made plans and is ready to start construction after the new year!"

"That's the school. The government office plans to build three middle schools on the island. This is one of them. The other two are in the market town on the island."

"Dad, that's the government office. It used to be the temple of Shenmu religion. Our yard is over there!"

He pointed to the courtyard to the east of the temple. Those courtyards were large and small. They used to be the residences of Shenmu believers, but now they have become the residence of the Yang family.

Those courtyards still need to be rebuilt. The government office has made new plans, but it will probably take a year to build them. There are too many buildings to be built on Shenmu Island. It will take at least three or four years to complete the basic construction.

A moment later, they came to Yang Zhengshan's yard.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were already waiting in the hall. Not only them, but Yang Mingcheng and Wang were also released by Yang Zhengshan.

"Grandpa, grandmother, father, mother!"

Under the leadership of Yang Chengye, a large group of people knelt down and kowtowed.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the sturdy Yang Chengye and smiled.

His grandson is back, and he is still very happy as a grandfather, smiling from ear to ear.

"Well, not bad, is the journey smooth?"

Yang Zhengshan helped Yang Chengye up and patted his shoulder.

"It went smoothly, all the way, and there were no accidents." Yang Chengye smiled.

After a simple greeting, Yang Zhengshan took Yang Chengye and Yang Mingcheng to the study. Yu Qingyi, Wang, Yu and Luo talked in the hall.

It was very interesting to talk about the daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter-in-law together.

Yu took Yang Ruohan to meet her great-grandmother and grandmother. Yang Ruohan is ten years old this year and will be eleven years old after the New Year.

Her appearance is very similar to Yu, she looks well-behaved and lovely, and she behaves generously in front of Yu Qingyi.

The family got together to ask about each other's well-being, and it seemed very warm and harmonious.

In the study, Yang Zhengshan and Yang Chengye talked about Darong.

In fact, there is no need to be so anxious. The New Year will be in two days, and it is not too late to talk about it after the New Year.

But since Yang Chengye is back, it's better to talk to him first, so that he can prepare psychologically in advance.

"I~, Grandpa, I don't want to be the emperor. I want to take Qinyuan over in a few years and let him inherit the title!"

Hearing that Yang Zhengshan intended to make him the emperor, Yang Chengye suddenly became anxious.

He has always wanted to go home, this is not a choice.

Chongshan Town is also part of the Yang family's family business. As the eldest grandson of the eldest house, he naturally has to guard this family business.

If his father is more reliable, he can also relax, but who makes his father Yang Mingcheng.

When Yang Mingcheng left the title and ran away, he was very depressed.

If possible, he would rather stay with Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan smiled with relief. He was not confused by the power of the emperor. He was still very relieved.

Yang Mingzhao did not value the imperial power, and so did Yang Chengye. Other people in the Yang family did not take the throne and the imperial power too seriously. This was the result Yang Zhengshan liked to see the most.

To be honest, he was worried that the Yang family would fight for the throne.

That was the throne of Darong, not the throne of a small dynasty.

Yang Zhengshan was not surprised that everyone did not care about the throne of Dajing, but everyone did not care about the throne of a dynasty, which made Yang Zhengshan quite happy.

Whether the imperial power is good or not depends on the individual.

Most people in the world cannot resist the temptation of power and wealth, and countless people are willing to give everything for power and wealth, even at the cost of their lives.

But the Yang family does not care about power and wealth. Are all the people in the Yang family indifferent to fame and fortune and have no desires?

No!

That's because the Yang family has higher pursuits.

Martial arts is the pursuit of the Yang family!
