Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the majestic and continuous Changqing Mountain was already covered with silver.

This was the first snow of the year, and also the biggest snow Yang Zhengshan had ever seen.

It snowed for two days and one night, and it didn't stop until the morning of the third day.

In the yard, the three brothers Yang Mingcheng and Lin Zhan were cleaning the snow in the yard and on the roof, and the two little guys Yang Chengye and Yang Chengmao were playing in the snow like happy puppies.

Standing in the main room, Yang Zhengshan looked at the busy and playful scene in the yard, and his mouth curled up slightly.

This family seems to be good.

"Dad!"

A figure wrapped in a ball appeared at the gate of the yard and shouted at Yang Zhengshan.

"Jiang He! Why are you here?" Yang Zhengshan asked, looking at the face under the fur hat.

Jiang He walked into the main room, took off his fur hat, and smiled innocently: "I'm worried about Yunyan!"

"What's there to worry about when people are with me!" Yang Zhengshan glanced at this cheap son-in-law.

Jiang He smiled innocently, and his face was flushed, whether it was because of the cold or shyness.

He glanced at the west wing from time to time, looking for Yang Yunyan's figure.

Yang Zhengshan saw him like this and complained in his heart.

Can't you be reserved? Your father-in-law is still here.

Even if you miss your wife, you should talk to your father-in-law first.

Yang Zhengshan felt that a handful of dog food was stuffed in his mouth, and he had to eat it even if he didn't want to.

Humph, if you want to see your wife, I won't let you.

"Come in and sit down!"

Jiang He was stunned, but he could only follow Yang Zhengshan into the main hall.

"What's the situation in your village?" Yang Zhengshan asked casually.

"Everything is fine. It should be no problem to survive this winter." Jiang He said absent-mindedly.

Jiangjia Village was hit by banditry, most of the village was burned down, and most of the villagers were killed or injured, but fortunately Yang Zhengshan arrived in time to help Jiangjia Village save Jiang He's family and several surrounding villagers.

Jiangjia Village is not short of supplies and money now, but after this disaster, there are less than ten households left in Jiangjia Village, with a population of only fifty or sixty people.

But even so, it is much better than Xiaolin Village on the other side of Changqing Mountain.

At least they still have a place to live, food and clothing, unlike the two families in Xiaolin Village, who have nothing and rely on Yangjia Village for support.

"Have all the people in the county government left?" Yang Zhengshan continued to ask.

"No, the county government left two clerks and several runners." Jiang He finally remembered the business and said, "By the way, my father asked me to ask Dad if he wants to buy land!"

"Buy land!" Yang Zhengshan's expression moved slightly.

"Well, there are many extinct families in the village, and their land will be resold by the county government. If Dad wants to buy it, now is the time." Jiang He said.

Yang Zhengshan became interested. He was still thinking about whether to buy some property before, and houses, shops, and fields were all within his consideration.

Although he has no shortage of money now, he can't just sit back and enjoy his savings. In addition, if the Yang family wants to grow and develop, they also need more money and a stable income.

He has considered doing business and inventing things to make money, such as making glass and distilling strong liquor.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

The reason is that the Yang family's foundation is insufficient and its strength is too weak.

He is a warrior and is considered a top figure in Yangjia Village, but in the county, a warrior like him is not worth mentioning at all.

If he really makes a fortune, what awaits him is not getting rich, but the disaster of exterminating his family.

Without sufficient strength, no matter how much wealth he has, it is just a bubble.

Therefore, he gave up those ideas of becoming rich overnight and decided to buy some real estate for the Yang family.

Although buying real estate can't make a fortune, it is stable and not conspicuous.

With his identity as a warrior, it is no problem to buy hundreds of acres of land and become a landlord.

"What's the price?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"The county clerk set the price at five taels for paddy fields and four taels for dry fields. We now have more than two hundred acres of unowned fields in our village, and we have to sell them!" Jiang He said.

Four taels of silver per acre is definitely a bargain.

Anning County can only grow one crop a year, so the price of arable land is relatively cheap.

If it were in the south of the Darong Dynasty, the price of arable land might exceed ten taels, or even reach twenty taels.

The price of arable land varies greatly in different regions and environments.

Yang Zhengshan tapped the table and said, "Can I buy a hundred acres?"

Jiang He looked at him in astonishment, "Dad, isn't this too much?"

"A lot?" Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly.

"One hundred acres of land, my brother and the others can't farm it!" Jiang He said.

Yang Zhengshan rolled his eyes. How could it be possible for Yang Mingcheng and the others to continue farming?

He was still thinking about letting Yang Mingcheng and the others become warriors, so it was naturally impossible for them to waste their time on farming.

"Find tenants!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Tenants are people who work on the land for others. There are no tenants in Yangjia Village, but there are many tenants in Qinghe Town.

More than 100 acres of land only need two or three tenants. It shouldn't be difficult to ask the Lu family to help find a few tenants.

"Oh." Jiang He suddenly realized, "If Dad wants to buy it, he can go to our village to find the two clerks."

However, Yang Zhengshan looked at him with a frown.

He found a problem.

A very serious problem.

Whether it is the three brothers Yang Mingcheng or Jiang He, their knowledge is too low, and their thoughts seem to be imprisoned.

He wants to buy land, but Jiang He only wants to grow it himself, and he didn't even think of the tenants. This is not just a problem of low knowledge, but also a limited thinking and thought.

Simply put, it is a small family.

In fact, it is not their fault. After all, they are ordinary people. They have lived for more than ten or twenty years. Except for going to the county town a few times, they have never left the village.

And they have not been to school yet, so it is reasonable that their knowledge and thinking are limited.

But then again, Yang Zhengshan wants to make the Yang family grow and develop, so naturally he will not be limited to this small village, or even to Anning County. In the future, he must go out and fight for a piece of the sky for the Yang family.

If Yang Mingcheng and others do not make changes, it will be difficult to keep up with him.

But his brows soon relaxed.

It is not difficult to change Yang Mingcheng and others. Yang Mingcheng is still young, and it is not too late to change now.

The oldest, Yang Mingcheng, is only 20 years old, which is equivalent to the age of a college student, while Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao are even younger. It is not too late to start training them now.

The most important thing is that Yang Mingcheng and his friends are filial and obedient. As long as it is Yang Zhengshan's order, they will try their best to do it.

It doesn't matter if they are a little stupid, but they are rebellious and unwilling to change.

"I know, I will go to see it in the afternoon!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and stopped dragging Jiang He, "You go to see Yunyan!"

"Okay!" Jiang He grinned, "Dad, I'll go first!"

As he said that, he ran out of the hall and went to the west wing.
