Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Under Yang Zhengshan's teachings over the years, the Yang family has long integrated the spirit of martial arts into their bones.

Everyone has worked hard to cultivate, and they all want to cultivate to a higher level, and they are all striving towards the innate realm.

Everyone has selfishness, and the Yang family also has it. Their selfishness is to let themselves, their sons and grandsons get more resources and cultivate to a higher level.

And the internal harmony of the Yang family is not entirely maintained by feelings, but by the word fairness.

Yang Zhengshan is impartial, and has formulated cultivation salaries and set various rules. Everything is done according to the rules. If you want to get more resources, then work hard to cultivate.

Not only the Yang family, but also the vassal families of the Yang family, they are not harmonious, and there are also differences in strength between each other.

They are willing to follow Yang Zhengshan's footsteps closely, not because they can give them enough resources, and at the same time they can guarantee that they can be treated fairly.

If there is no fairness, there will inevitably be resentment in people's hearts. Once there is too much resentment, even the best relationship will break.

Therefore, what maintains the harmony within the Yang family is not feelings or Yang Zhengshan's prestige, but the rules and fair treatment that are worth following, as well as the Yang family's continuous upward development trend.

Development can bring unity, progress can bring motivation, and a good development trend can pull everyone together, so that internal conflicts will not continue to intensify.

The Yang family has so many vassals, and there must be competition between them, but their competition does not involve interests, because Yang Zhengshan is distributing interests fairly, so their competition is benign.

The same is true within the Yang family.

Everyone is working hard to practice, and has no intention of worrying about other things. If it is not their duty, they are even unwilling to use their energy on those unimportant places.

Just like Yang Chengye, if the title was not passed down by Yang Zhengshan, he would not care about any title at all, and would not stay in Chongshan Town.

"As long as you can persuade your little uncle to stand in front and be the emperor of the founding dynasty, grandpa will not force you!"

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The corner of Yang Chengye's mouth twitched slightly, "Grandpa, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"Haha~~ You, you should take care of Qinyuan more, and then you can abdicate early!"

Yang Zhengshan was also helpless. Others were scrambling to be the emperor, but in the Yang family, no one was willing to do it.

Yang Chengye sighed, knowing that he couldn't refuse this matter.

He still knew what kind of person his uncle was. He was the nephew who watched his uncle grow up!

Let him persuade his uncle, he thought it would be better not to waste words.

"What should I do next?"

Thinking of this, he could only save his life. Instead of thinking about persuading his uncle, he might as well train his eldest son as soon as possible.

In this way, he might be able to abdicate a few years earlier.

"Don't worry, let's talk about it after the New Year!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

But they are not in a hurry. If the Yang family wants to seize the kingdom of Darong, they must not take it away from the Darong royal family, because the Yang family was once a minister of Darong. If they take the kingdom away from Darong, then the Yang family will be a traitor and have no legitimate reason.

So if Chongshan Town wants to start an uprising, they have to wait until Darong is dead before they can start an uprising.

The Yang family needs a knife, a knife that can cut off the corrupt dynasty of Darong.

Yang Zhengshan has already thought about it. King Daliang and Chen Hengchang can both make this knife.

After they enter Kyoto, it will be the time for the Yang family to start an uprising.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan is not in a hurry now, just wait slowly.

…

Thirty nights of the ninth winter, cold and warm are separated. After sitting until the fourth watch, one year has passed.

Unknowingly, the fifth year of Jianxing, that is, the eighteenth year of Shenmu, has arrived.

Counting the years, this is the thirty-ninth year since Yang Zhengshan came to this world, and he is already seventy-seven years old.

It is often said that seventy is the old age, eighty is the old age, and in another three or four years, he will be in his eighties.

But that is for ordinary people. For innate warriors, eighty or ninety is still in the prime of life, far from being old.

At least Yang Zhengshan now looks like he is in his early forties, with a ruddy face, black hair and beard, a straight body, full of energy, and a more imposing manner. He is still a handsome uncle.

He is wearing a long green shirt, with a three-foot-long beard fluttering in front of him, and his eyes are deep and bright, as if they can pierce people's hearts.

He stands on the cliff of Lingquan Mountain, overlooking the endless fertile land in the south. He is not an emperor but better than an emperor.

Yu Qingyi stood beside him, wearing a moon-embroidered dress made of ice silk, woven with gold edges, and embroidered with tide clouds. She folded her hands in front of her, holding a bunch of white crabapple flowers in her white and tender palms.

She seemed younger, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were a little lighter. If it weren't for her overly mature temperament, many people would definitely mistake her for a young woman in her twenties.

Put next to Wang, Li, and Liang, it is easy for people to misunderstand the relationship between them.

The mother-in-law is more like a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law is more like a mother-in-law.

In fact, the three daughters-in-law don't look old, it's just that Yu Qingyi looks too young.

Yu Qingyi's youth is not only because her body ages slowly after reaching the Xiantian realm, but also because she has been taking Bingxin Yugu Dan for many years.

This Bingxin Yugu Dan can also be called a beauty pill, which has the miraculous effect of not being stained by dust and dirt, not being stained by worldly appearance, washing the marrow and cutting the veins, and being pure and clean, which can make people's skin as white as snow and their temperament outstanding.

Although Yu Qingyi is not as young as Xue Qiaoer, she is standing here with her clothes fluttering, as if riding the wind, her white clothes are whiter than snow, her long hair is like clouds, as if she is a banished immortal, and people can't look up to her.

The New Year's Day has just passed, and the atmosphere of the New Year is still overflowing on Shenmu Island, but Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi have to be busy in the space.

"It will take time to complete the construction of the longevity village. Now we can only do it ourselves!" Yang Zhengshan stroked his flying beard and smiled.

Yu Qingyi smiled while holding Hua'er: "It's not a big deal. Just do it yourself!"

"Let's start?" Yang Zhengshan took Yu Qingyi's arm, and Yu Qingyi returned a sweet smile.

Then the two began to get busy, Yang Zhengshan was responsible for fetching water, and Yu Qingyi was responsible for boiling the medicine soup.

What are they doing?

In fact, it's not unusual, they are just making medicine soup.

Boil together more than a dozen precious medicines and spiritual fruits such as Golden Thorn Blood Vine, Moon Star Seed, Baise Flower, Cold Pine Fruit, and Ice Heart Fruit, and then add spiritual spring water. This is an extremely mild medicinal soup.

It has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, filling the gap, promoting blood circulation, strengthening physical fitness, and treating injuries.

It can be used by both ordinary people and martial artists in the body-building realm. If dragon bone fruit and evergreen ivy are added, it will also have the effect of improving and condensing energy, which is suitable for acquired martial artists.

The key is that this medicinal soup is easy to make. Put a big pot on it, light the fire, and boil it for an hour.

One pot of medicinal soup can be mixed with 100 jars of potion, and one jar of potion weighs ten kilograms.

Drinking one kilogram per month is not much worse than drinking spiritual spring water every day. Well, it is much worse in the effect of improving potential, and there is not much difference in other aspects.

Ordinary people can basically become warriors after drinking it for one year. If those in the body-building realm continue to drink it for five or six years, they can enter the post-natal realm. If post-natal warriors continue to drink it, their cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.

The most important thing is that it is easier to boil such medicinal soup, which is countless times easier than brewing wine.

Yang Zhengshan and his wife can easily boil fifty pots of medicinal soup and mix five thousand pots of medicine in a day.

Ten large pots are set up at one time. After adding water, you only need to add firewood from time to time. Yu Qingyi can do it alone.

Yang Zhengshan has to fill the jar with water, then add the medicinal soup, and then seal the jar with oil paper.

These potions are all prepared by them for Yang Chengye. Since Yang Chengye wants to join the ranks of the world hegemony, the Yang family will naturally provide him with some resources and convenience.

Let’s not talk about other things for now. This spiritual spring water must be made by Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi themselves.

Yang Zhengshan will definitely not go to Chongshan Town to take charge. If that happens, what will Yang Chengye do? At that time, no matter good or bad, it will definitely be attributed to Yang Zhengshan.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan prepared these potions for Yang Chengye.

With these potions, Yang Chengye can train a real elite.

This is the support of grandparents for their grandson's career!

…

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

On Shenmu Island.

Yang Mingzhao and Yang Chengye sat opposite each other.

The uncle and nephew laughed and talked nonsense.

"Uncle, you have hurt me this time!" Yang Chengye said with a face full of complaints.

Yang Mingzhao leaned on the backrest and said with a smug look on his face: "You are just being ungrateful. How did I harm you?"

"The founding emperor! He is a person who will be remembered in history. Taizu of Dayong, Taizu of Dasheng, and the Taizu emperors before him, which one is not a great hero to be admired!"

"Good nephew, I believe you can definitely become a great hero who will be remembered in history like them! Even if the dynasty changes again in the future, no one will forget you!"

Yang Chengye couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he had given up the idea of ​​arguing with Yang Mingzhao. There was no way, he was not as shameless as his uncle.

When he was still young, his uncle liked to take advantage of his age. He started to act like an elder at the age of five or six. When his face was stern and his voice was straight, he used his status as an elder to order his nephews to do this and that.

"Uncle, then you will not care about the Taiping Army?"

Yang Mingzhao took a sip of tea, "Why not?"

"I will ask Uncle Wu to continue to stay in Baoning Prefecture, and then they will train the troops and manage the people's livelihood. When you lead the army to Bashu, uncle will definitely give you a prosperous city!"

"At that time, you can directly incorporate the Taiping Army. Li Wenchun, Li Baoshan, Chen Buyu, Chen Buren, etc., just arrange a small official position for them!"

"As for the others, I will take them back to Shenmu Island!"

He has already made plans. Ma Yan, Lu Bo, Li Dagui, Yang Ze and others are all members of the Yang family. They can be arranged in any way without any entanglement. As for Li Wenchun, Chen Buyu and others, since they are willing to follow him in the rebellion, he will also give them a future.

It's hard to say if they have a great future, but it's easy to give them an official position in the new dynasty. He even plans to get a title for Chen Buyu, just an earl will do, too high a title is not suitable.

"No, no, little uncle, you have to help me!"

Yang Chengye said: "How about this, you first take down the whole Bashu, and then help me keep an eye on Yunling Town, Wusi Town and Anxi Town."

Yang Mingzhao shook his head, "No, I can keep an eye on Anxi Town and Wusi Town, but I can't stop the troops of Yunling Town!"

Yang Chengye smiled, "Uncle, have you forgotten that you have a nephew-in-law in Nanjiang Town!"

Yang Mingzhao was startled, and then he remembered Yang Wanqing.

"You want to drag the Qu family into the water?"

Yang Chengye's mouth curled up slightly, "This is inevitable, but there is no rush for this matter, just take your time!"

"Once I raise an army in Chongshan Town, the Qu family will definitely make a choice. With Wanqing here, the Duke of Xingguo will definitely choose us!"

"But we can't give the Qu family much. At most, we can give them another hereditary title of Duke, so I don't want them to leave Nanjiang Town!"

Yang Mingzhao laughed, "You, you really think long-term!"

Yang Chengye didn't hide it and said, "There's no way. At this point, I naturally have to think long-term!"

"Duke Xingguo, Marquis Changping, Earl Haichang, Earl Anshun are all our family's in-laws, so naturally we can win them over!"

"Duke Ningguo, Marquis Nanyang , Jianliang Hou, these have always been very close to our family, so naturally we can win them over as much as we can!"

"In addition, there are the six surnames of Tenglongwei, Luo family, Zhen family, Lu family, etc. They will definitely help!"

"There are also some people and forces close to us. As long as they are willing to help, I can give them a hereditary title at that time."

"I have thought about it. Six dukes, twelve marquises, and thirty-six earls are all hereditary and nobles of the new dynasty."

"The Qu family, Liang family, Zhou family, Xue family, Xie family, and Han family are the six dukes!"

"As for the marquis and earl, it depends on who contributes the most!"

Yang Chengye has not been idle these days. He has been thinking about what forces he can borrow next, and even thought about the future arrangements for each family.

Which forces and families can be won over, which forces and families must be eliminated, and who needs to be taken care of, how to establish a new and stable noble group, etc.

It is not appropriate to meddle in politics if you are not in the position, but now Yang Chengye knows that he can no longer refuse. He has already prepared to fight for the world and establish a country, so naturally there are some things to consider in the long run.

And his biggest reliance now is not Chongshan Town, but the connections that the Yang family has accumulated over the years.

Yang Mingzhao thought about it and said, "Well, I will help you take over Bashu and help you keep an eye on Anxi Town and Wusi Town! This is also my support for you as your uncle!"

"Haha, nephew toasts to your uncle!"

Yang Chengye said with tea instead of wine.

In the following days, Yang Chengye began to visit various families on the island. He first visited Jiang He. The first person he pulled into the water was his cousin Jiang Feng, followed by Liang Qingan and Lin Yaozong, and then Wang Mingzhe's son Wang Chengxue.

Among the four people, Jiang Feng is the oldest, 26 years old this year, Liang Qingan, Lin Yaozong and Wang Chengxue are about the same age, just in their early twenties.

Then he visited each family one by one, and each family got a young talent.

In just a few days, he had nearly 20 young talents around him.

Although these people are very young, they are all talents selected by each family.

The news that Yang Chengye wants to dominate the world in Darong has spread, and the heads of each family in Shenmu Island have actually received the news.

Compared with Yang Chengyou establishing the Dajing Dynasty, they are much more enthusiastic about Yang Chengye establishing a new dynasty in Darong. They can't say that they support him with all their strength, but they support him as much as possible.
