Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Since you have plans, let me first find out about the situation of Liaodong Salt Industry!"

Luo Shang said with an extremely solemn expression.

The interests involved in official salt trading are not comparable to those in general industries.

This is different from the businesses that the Luo family did before. Currently, the Luo family is involved in many businesses, such as cloth shops, embroidery shops, gold and silver jewelry, grain stores, blacksmith shops, carpentry shops, escort agencies, etc. Although the Luo family is involved in many businesses, , but these businesses are routine businesses.

The salt industry is a completely different industry. If you get involved in the salt industry, you may risk your fortune and life.

Of course, the profits brought by the salt industry are not comparable to others. If the Luo family can really gain a foothold in the Liaodong salt industry, the Luo family's family fortune and status will be improved by several levels.

The risk is worth taking.

"No rush, no rush, salt industry and maritime trade are just my thoughts. If it's quick, I won't try to get involved in the salt industry until next summer. As for maritime trade, I may have to wait until the second half of next year, or even The year after tomorrow!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The Yang family also has a lot of properties, but they are mainly real estate and real estate. In addition, they are horse farms.

But it is impossible to leave the racecourse without him, and the income will be greatly reduced.

Now Tenglongwei is not suitable for building a large horse farm, so Yang Zhengshan has set his sights on the salt industry and maritime trade.

Needless to say, the salt industry is a profitable business once it is started.

Sea trade involves more ideas of Yang Zhengshan. The world is also very broad. He wants to make money through sea trade, and he also wants to understand the world outside Da Rong through sea trade.

…

Luo Shang stayed in Acropolis for three days, and Yang Zhengshan discussed with him several times in detail during these three days, from the Luo family's current business, to next year's salt industry, to the future development of Tenglong Wei.

Yang Zhengshan put forward many ideas, and Luo Shang also gave Yang Zhengshan a lot of suggestions.

Today's Luo Shang is no longer the small businessman he used to be. Over the years, he has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot. In many things, he has more knowledge than Yang Zhengshan, so many of the suggestions he gave to Yang Zhengshan are very pertinent.

And Yang Zhengshan is not a dictatorial person. He is very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.

The advantage is that he has the memory of his past life and has received a lot of complicated information in the era of the information explosion. This allows him to treat many things with different opinions and forward-looking vision than most people in this world.

His shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, he has a high vision but a low hand. He only has a rough understanding of many things. If you ask him to say it, it is clear and logical, but if you ask him to do it, he will stop doing it.

Different worlds have different rules, different environments have different changes, and different societies have many invisible and intangible shackles.

There are many things that you can't do well just because you think well.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan has never minded others giving him advice, and he even likes to listen to other people's advice.

After Luo Shang left, Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi and Lu Wenhua also set off back to Anning County.

The New Year is approaching, and it’s time to send out the New Year gifts that need to be given.

The annual gift is not about how expensive it is, but about reciprocity.

Over the years, Yang Zhengshan has always attached great importance to giving New Year's gifts, and would personally see the New Year's gifts given out every year.

As the Yang family becomes more and more wealthy, giving New Year gifts becomes more and more routine.

There must be rules for how much to send to whom, how much the gift is worth, when to send it, and who to send it.

For example, when he was at Yinghe Fort, Yang Zhengshan would give a New Year's gift to Shopkeeper Lu of the Lu family's grain shop. Now the Yang family still gives a New Year's gift to Shopkeeper Lu every year, but they just ask their servants to give one. A simple annual gift will suffice.

Shopkeeper Lu would also give the Yang family an annual gift every year to prove his personal friendship with the Yang family.

As for the Lu family, it was the friendship between the two families. Every year when Yang Mingcheng returned to Anning County, he would send them there together.

As for the Liu Mansion in Kyoto, due to the long distance, Yang Zhengshan just arranged for a worthy servant to deliver the New Year's gift there.

But this year is different. This year, the Yang family has a relative in Beijing, namely the Changping Houfu.

In the first year after Yun Xue got married, the New Year's ceremony must be more grand to give Yun Xue some face.

In the main courtyard room, Yang Zhengshan looked at the gift list prepared by Wang.

The chubby Wang stood next to him and said with a naive smile: "Dad, my daughter-in-law bought two white fox skins some time ago. They were originally intended for her father and mother to use, but her mother thought the white fox skins were too luxurious, so she added them. This gift list is a winner!”

White fox fur is also a valuable fur that is rare to find. A perfect white fox fur can be worth hundreds of taels of silver. The key is that you may not be able to buy it if you want to buy it. You have to take a chance on this thing.

Nowadays, the Wang family is also very wealthy. She can spend hundreds of taels of silver as she pleases, and she doesn't think the white fox skin is valuable.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yu Qingyi next to him and asked, "You don't like it?"

Yu Qingyi hugged Xiao Mingzhao and said, "That thing is too bright. How can I use it at my age?"

The snow-white fox fur looks good, but it's a pity that it's not suitable for her age.

Yang Zhengshan also understood this and didn't say much.

If it were him, he would naturally not care about this, but Yu Qingyi is different. Yu Qingyi is a person of this world, and his thoughts and ideas follow the customs and customs of this world subtly.

Looking at the gift list, Yang Zhengshan felt that Wang had made complete preparations and had given everything he could.

But as an old father, Yang Zhengshan felt that it was still close.

"Add another fifty jars of Baicao Niang. Oh, and add the Xinyang Maojian and Yunjin that Shopkeeper Luo brought two days ago!"

"And is Yunxue's horse still at home? It's a good opportunity to send it over, and pick two good horses to give to the Marquis and the son-in-law!"

The children of the Yang family all have their own horses, each of which is carefully raised. Although Yang Zhengshan cannot move the horse farm in Anyuan City, it is still no problem to bring dozens of horses over.

So now the Yang family has a yard dedicated to raising horses.

"By the way, that little red colt..."

"Master! Didn't you say to leave that horse to Chengye?" Yu Qingyi next to him couldn't help interrupting Yang Zhengshan's words.

Others are fine, but that little red colt is not an ordinary good horse.

Little Red Colt, this name sounds ordinary, but in fact it represents something extraordinary, because its red comes from Hongyun.

Hongyun is undoubtedly the most powerful warhorse among all the warhorses of the Yang family.

Since the Yang family raises horses, it is inevitable to breed mares, and Hongyun is the best horse in the Yang family, so it is natural that it cannot be missing.

Well, Hongyun has many wives, and Hongyun has slept with even more mares.

Hongyun's breed is indeed good, and its descendants can all grow into top-quality horses even without the nourishment of spiritual spring water.

However, if you ask about the best foal among Hongyun's descendants, it must be Xiaohongju.

The reddish-brown hair, the fiery red mane, the strong physique, and the smart eyes all prove that Xiaohongju inherited the best genes from Hongyun.

And Yang Zhengshan also likes Xiaohongju very much and often feeds it himself.

He feeds it himself, of course, with special care.

So although Xiaohongju is only one year old now, it looks much taller than other foals of the same age.

Interrupted by Yu Qingyi, Yang Zhengshan touched his nose awkwardly.

Well, I was only thinking about my little daughter just now and forgot about my grandson.

The key is that Wang is still standing here, which is somewhat embarrassing.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory, Xiao Hongju belongs to Chengye."

Yang Zhengshan looked up at Wang, who was still smiling, as if she didn't care about Xiao Hongju's ownership at all.

In fact, Wang really didn't care about a horse. In her opinion, it was just a horse. The Yang family had so many horses, so there was no need to fight.

As for fighting, it was even more unnecessary. She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and her son was the eldest grandson of the Yang family. What was there for her to fight for?

As long as she didn't make mistakes and her son had a promising future, she had nothing to worry about.

I have to say that Wang was still very clear-sighted.

Perhaps it was because of her clarity that she had been recognized by everyone in the Yang family over the years.

Whether it was the two sisters-in-law, Li and Liang, or the two sisters-in-law, Yunyan and Yunxue, they all respected her as the eldest sister-in-law.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi also recognized this eldest daughter-in-law very much. Although Yu Qingyi was the mistress of the Yang family, many things in the family were taken care of by Wang.

Especially after Yu Qingyi became pregnant, the housekeeping power of the Yang family's backyard was handed over to Wang.

And now, Yu Qingyi has no intention of taking back the housekeeping power.

With a capable eldest daughter-in-law, she, as a mother-in-law, can also ask for some leisure time and have more time to accompany her son.

"Then let's do it this way first. You prepare and let Minghao set off for Kyoto tomorrow!" Yang Zhengshan ordered.

"Okay, Dad, I'll arrange it now!" Wang replied with a smile.

After Wang left, when Yang Zhengshan was teasing little Mingzhao, Wu Hai stood outside the door and said, "Master, there are guests visiting!"

Yang Zhengshan could only return the little Mingzhao he had just held in his arms to Yu Qingyi, walked out of the hall, and asked, "Who is here?"

The New Year is approaching, and there must be many guests visiting during this period, so Yang Zhengshan was not surprised.

"Master, this is a visiting card!"

Yang Zhengshan opened the visiting card and walked towards the front yard.

When he saw the name on the visiting card, his body paused slightly.

Luo Jinsong, the head of Yuhengxing Hall!

Yang Zhengshan was surprised.

What is this person here for?

He thought about it and continued to walk towards the front yard. Soon he came to the main hall of the front yard.

At this time, Luo Jinsong was sitting in the hall, and Wu Hai had arranged for the servants to serve tea.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming in, Luo Jinsong hurriedly stood up, "Commoner Luo Jinsong greets General Yang!"

Yang Zhengshan's expression moved slightly. He called himself a commoner, so he should not come to seek revenge or justice.

But it's true that no matter how arrogant the Seven Stars Hall is, they should not dare to run to the government office to do whatever they want, otherwise the court will definitely not tolerate them.
