Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Anning County, Qinghe Town.

Lu Family Mansion.

Lu Wenyuan sat in the study, looking at the letters sent from Chongshan Town.

Lu Miaoshu stood beside him, waiting quietly.

There are three big families in Anning County, the Yang family, the Lu family, and the Lu family.

Needless to say, the Yang family is now the Liaodong Yang family.

The Lu family inevitably declined. Although the Lu family and the Yang family have a close relationship and have maintained a relatively close relationship for so many years, the Lu family has not produced a useful talent for two consecutive generations. Even though the Yang family has promoted the Lu family a lot in recent years, the Lu family is still not as good as before.

Now the Lu family does not even have a Jinshi, only a few Juren fill the scene.

However, the Juren of the Lu family are all officials, and they are all officials in Liaodong.

Although they are only small officials such as county magistrates, county magistrates, and chief clerks, they are still considered an official family.

The Lu family is different. The Lu family has Lu Wenyuan. Now Lu Wenyuan has resigned from his post and is at home, but his connections in the Liaodong officialdom are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

Besides, Lu Wenyuan was a third-place winner and served as a governor. If he had not resigned at the beginning, he would be at least a minister now.

Now Lu Wenyuan has prestige, fame, ability, and experience. He can be said to be the first civil servant in Liaodong.

Yang Chengye wanted to start a war, so he naturally would not ignore this cousin.

As soon as Yang Chengye ordered to prepare for the expedition, he wrote a letter to Anning County, asking Lu Wenyuan to go to Chongshan Pass to preside over the overall situation.

That's right, to preside over the overall situation.

Although Jiang Nanguo has already surrendered to Yang Chengye and Yang Chengye is ready to use him, Chongshan Pass is too important, and there must be someone who can be absolutely trusted to help Yang Chengye preside over the overall situation.

After reading the letter, Lu Wenyuan stroked his gray beard and pondered for a moment.

"Go to Yangjia Village and tell Yang Minghui that I will set off for Chongshan Pass in three days, and let my students go with me to Chongshan Pass!"

In the past few years since returning home, Lu Wenyuan has not been idle. He often goes to the clan school in Yangjia Village to teach. He has more than 30 students in the Yang clan school.

If Yang Chengye wants to dominate the world, he needs not only soldiers, but also a large number of civil servants. His students are just right.

The students who can be favored by him are naturally not mediocre. If they take the normal imperial examination, perhaps few of them can pass the exam, but if they are officials, they will definitely be able to do things properly.

"Okay, I'll go to Yangjia Village now!"

Lu Miaoshu responded immediately, and then left the study, first arranged for the housekeeper at home to pack the luggage, and prepared to go to Chongshan Pass in three days, and took a few followers to ride to Yangjia Village on horseback.

In fact, Lu Miaoshu is also very capable. He is the eldest son of Lu Wenyuan. He has always been with Lu Wenyuan and helped Lu Wenyuan handle some official affairs. He has rich experience.

With his ability, he is enough to serve as a local official, and there is no problem for him to be a prefect or a state governor.

If he governs for a few more years, he will be able to take charge of the situation.

In addition to Lu Miaoshu, Lu Wenyuan's second son Lu Miaowen has already obtained the title of Juren. If the world is not too chaotic, he should have entered Beijing to take the exam this year.

Yangjia Village is very close to Qinghe Town. If you walk, you will arrive in half an hour. Riding a horse is faster. Lu Miaoshu arrived at Yangjia Village in less than two quarters of an hour.

Today's Yangjia Village has changed a lot. It is no longer the small village it used to be.

It is called Yangjia Village, but it is more like a town. It is larger than Qinghe Town, and Yangjia Village has built many pavilions and towers, but the architectural style is a bit rough, not as exquisite as those in the big city.

The landmark building of Yangjia Village is the Wenwu Library. The two pavilions are six feet high and have seven floors. They stand side by side, which makes them stand out from the crowd.

Wenwu Library, as the name suggests, is a place to store books and skills.

There are many classics, history, and martial arts in it. Unlike the Yang family's library, the Yang family's library mainly stores martial arts. Although there are also Confucian classics, there are not many.

The Confucian classics stored in the Yangjia Village Library are very comprehensive, and there are many unique copies.

Of course, the martial arts skills collected by Yangjia Village are far inferior to those of the Yang family. There are only four innate skills, and there is no experience in cultivation.

However, these are enough for the children of the Yang family to use, and it is also the result of Yang Minghui's deliberate action.

Yang Minghui's idea is very simple. With the move of the Yang family overseas, the Yang family and the Yang family have become much more distant. Now everyone still remembers the feelings, but over time, it is inevitable that they will become estranged.

In order to make the Yang family have more contact with the Yang family, Yang Minghui did not collect too many innate skills. He thought that if someone in the Yang family had the potential to become an innate warrior in the future, he would send him to the Yang family.

In this way, the Yang family and the Yang family can always keep in touch and produce more affection.

The Wenwu Library is in the Yang family school, and now the Yang family is no longer a pure martial arts family, but a family with both civil and military skills, but the achievements in literature are far less than those in martial arts.

At present, the Yang family has only produced a few Juren and a dozen Xiucai, but no Jinshi has appeared.

This is also a helpless thing. After all, the foundation of the Yang family is martial arts. Even if you want to learn literature, you can't give up martial arts.

Therefore, those who can achieve something in literature must be both civil and martial.

Lu Miaoshu entered Yangjia Village and soon found Yang Minghui.

Now Yang Minghui is nearly 80 years old, and he is only two years younger than Yang Zhengshan.

However, Yang Minghui's body is still very tough and he is still walking with wind.

Yang Minghui is also a warrior, and an acquired warrior. Although his strength is ordinary, don’t forget that he has also drunk the spiritual spring water for many years. If Yang Zhengshan lacks any spiritual spring water, he will not forget the Yang clan.

With the nourishment of spiritual spring water, although Yang Minghui has not achieved much in martial arts, he will definitely be a long-lived person.

"It's Miaoshu, haha, come in!"

Seeing Lu Miaoshu coming, Yang Minghui sat in the main hall and greeted him enthusiastically.

His grandson Yang Jiye introduced Lu Miaoshu into the main hall and then ordered the servants to make tea.

Yang Chengze has three sons, Yang Jizu, Yang Jizong and Yang Jiye.

The person in front of him is Yang Chengze’s third son Yang Jiye.

Now Yang Jizu is following Yang Chengze, Yang Jizong is in Chongshan Town, while Yang Jiye is in the clan.

This Yang Jiye is the heir to the Yang clan leader selected by Yang Minghui.

In fact, what Yang Jizu should have inherited was just that Yang Chengze felt that his eldest son and second son had high talent in martial arts, so he didn't want them to stay in Yangjia Village.

In fact, he didn't even want to send Yang Jiye back to Yangjia Village. The Yang clan leader looked very glorious, but in fact it was just that.

Nowadays, Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze, Yang Chengxu, etc., no one is as glorious as Yang Minghui.

It was just because the ancestral land could not be left behind that Yang Chengze had to let Yang Jiye come back to inherit the position of patriarch.

When Lu Miaoshu sat down, he first cared about Yang Minghui's body, and then said the serious matter.

"The Marquis wants to raise his troops to go south and wrote a letter to ask my father to go to Chongqingshanguan to take charge. My father has decided to set off in three days, but my father wants to bring those students in the clan school!" Lu Miaoshu said.

Yang Minghui nodded slightly, "I have also received a letter from Chengye, and I am also sending some children and nephews to the clan. It's just right that I can go with you when the time comes!"

Although the younger generation of the Yang clan does not have the presence of stunning talents, they have many mediocre people with solid foundation and good abilities.

These mediocre people are nothing in Yangjia Village, but they can be at least a military officer with thousands of households when sent to Chongshan Town. Some people who are more familiar with casework can also be a second-level official.

As he said that, Yang Minghui suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Does Chengye want it~~?"

He didn't say the following words, but that meaning was very obvious.

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

Lu Miaowen smiled, "It should be!"

Yang Minghui grinned, "That's good, that's good! Alas, I'm old and can't understand some things, but my Yang clan must fully support this matter!"

If Yang Chengye wins the world, then their Yang clan is also a branch of the royal family. Although they cannot obtain titles, if there is a branch of the royal family, the Yang clan can also gain a lot of benefits.

By then, they will no longer be the Yang family in Liaodong, but the Yang family in Darong.

The Yang family's children are no longer limited to Liaodong and Chongshan Town, but will be spread throughout Darong and can even get out of Darong.

Yang Minghui inherited Yang Zhengxiang's ambitions and was determined to let the Yang family follow the footsteps of the Yang family and continue to grow and grow.

Speaking of which, the father and son are the biggest contributors to the rise of the Yang clan, and Yang Zhengshan is at most a leader and funder of the development of the Yang clan.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Miaowen left Yangjia Village and returned to Qinghe Town.

Just as Lu Wenyuan packed his luggage and went to Chongqing Pass, Lin Zhan, who was in Dongyang Prefecture of Pingyuan, also received a letter from Yang Chengye.

In the study, after reading the letter in his hand, Lin Zhan couldn't help but smile, "I'm going to be busy next!"

Ding Lu asked, "Master, but what are the marquis' instructions?"

"Well, Chengye is preparing to go south to attack King Daliang. We must prepare some food and grass for him!" Lin Zhan said.

"Strike against King Daliang!" Ding Lu's eyes lit up, "Does the Marquis want to?"

Lin Zhan looked at him and laughed, "No matter what Chengye thinks, we must push him to that position! It's time to change his master in this world!"

Although Lin Zhan is nearly fifty years old now, he doesn't want Lu Wenyuan to be as restrained. On the contrary, as he grows older, Lin Zhan's temperament becomes more and more arrogant.

This is the confidence brought to him by strength and power, and it is also because of the confidence given to him by Yang Zhengshan.

In fact, in Liaodong, Lu Wenyuan was not the first person to resist the court, Lin Zhan was.

The court promoted Lu Wenyuan, and Lu Wenyuan also wrote a letter to resign.

But Lin Zhan directly ignored Lin Zhan when the court promoted Lin Zhan.

Emperor Jianxing did not transfer Lu Wenyuan back to Kyoto, so he thought about transferring Lin Zhan back.

What's the result!

Lin Zhan ignored the court's transfer order at all.

Strictly speaking, Lin Zhan is only a participant in the political affairs of the Pingyuan Administration Commission, but in fact he is similar to Pingyuan's governor.

He was firmly in his hands.

Lin Zhan’s methods of doing business are much more fierce than Lu Wenyuan.

Perhaps influenced by Yang Zhengshan, Lin Zhan didn't like to play any conspiracies. He always could do anything against him and never quarrel.

So Lin Zhan was like a local tyrant, obeying many officials in Pingyuan.

When Yang Chengye wants to rebel, Lin Zhan will definitely agree.

This is not just his own attitude, but the attitude of many officials in Liaodong.

In the world, no one wants to make the contribution of following the dragon.

The Yang family occupied Liaodong and Chongshan Town, and they already had the confidence to fight for the world. Naturally, there would be many people who hoped that the Yang family would stand up and raise their arms.

It was just that Yang Chengye had not shown any performance, and Lu Wenyuan and Lin Zhan had been suppressing it, so no one took the initiative to stand up and find Yang Chengye.

Lin Zhan took the initiative to suppress the voices of the officials below, not because he did not support Yang Chengye, but because he knew that this matter required Yang Zhengshan's consent.

Yang Zhengshan did not nod, and he, as an apprentice, naturally could not take over.

Lin Zhan thought about it and ordered: "Send someone to Jizhou and ask Jizhou to prepare the granary. We will transport a large amount of grain and grass to Jizhou next!"

Jizhou does not belong to Pingyuan, but to Shanhe, but this is not important. The important thing is that Jizhou is also controlled by Lin Zhan.

The governor and guards of Jizhou are all Lin Zhan's confidants.

Lin Zhan naturally knew the importance of Jizhou, so he had already made arrangements in Jizhou. He used the power of Hengdaomen in Jizhou to firmly grasp Jizhou in his own hands.

After instructing Ding Lu, Lin Zhan immediately arranged for people to notify the heads of various government offices to come to the meeting.

At this time, he had a smile on his face, walked with the wind, and was full of passion.

Finally, he didn't have to muddle through his days in a daze anymore.

Finally, he didn't have to wait anxiously anymore.

Finally, he could do a great job!
