Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

In early October, the autumn harvest was over, and the basic training of the third batch of soldiers entered the most difficult stage.

There were three batches of soldiers in training, the first batch had 3,000 people, the second batch had 4,000 people, and the third batch also had 4,000 people.

This means that the training of the three batches of soldiers has been completed, and a total of more than 11,000 people in Tenglong Guard have completed the basic training. At the same time, more than 3,000 people have passed the selection and become camp soldiers.

As the military households supplemented by the Central Army Governor's Office arrived in Tenglong Guard one after another, the military households of Tenglong Guard have basically reached the full state, that is, there are more than 22,000 military households.

Among them, Tenglong Left Guard, Right Guard, and Guard Guard have almost 16,800 military households and more than 16,800 soldiers.

Tenglong Vanguard has more than 5,600 military households and more than 5,600 soldiers. Currently, more than 1,000 people have participated in the training of the navy.

With the replenishment of military households, the population of Tenglong Guard is close to 100,000.

A population of 100,000 has reached the scale of a county in Darong, and even some lower counties have a population of less than 100,000.

Now Yang Zhengshan has soldiers under his command, money and food in the government office, and a huge source of wealth such as the salt field.

More importantly, this military household supplement has brought a large number of scholars to the Weisi government office.

Under the severe drought, people's lives are difficult, and many people either starve to death or die of illness.

Especially those who are already poor, they have almost no resistance to natural disasters.

In contrast, those rich farmers who own fields and have a relatively solid family background still have a certain ability to resist disasters.

As for the big landlords, wealthy businessmen and officials, the impact of natural disasters on them is the smallest, and they do not need to migrate at all.

Therefore, most of the refugees who migrated to Tenglongwei are ordinary people. These ordinary people are relatively lucky. They resisted the suffering of hunger and migration and came to Tenglongwei.

Among them, a large number of them were originally rich farmers, who relied on their previous family background to support themselves.

And many of these rich farmers have read books, perhaps only studied in private schools for a few years, and have no fame, but they can still be clerks in the government office.

Therefore, after receiving this batch of refugees, the government offices at all levels of Tenglongwei recruited a lot of clerks from them, which greatly alleviated the shortage of clerks in government offices at all levels.

At the same time, it also laid the foundation for Yang Zhengshan's next plan.

Now, except for the formation of the navy, everything in Tenglongwei has been on the right track, and the development of Tenglongwei will enter an unprecedented high-speed state.

In mid-October, Song Hao and Wang Yunqiao got married, and the Yang family was decorated with lights and colorful decorations inside and outside, and they were full of joy.

Even the entire Weicheng was filled with a festive atmosphere.

This festive atmosphere was caused by the Yang family, but it was not just because of the marriage of Song Hao and Wang Yunqiao, but also because of the joy after the great harvest, because Tenglongwei was getting better and better.

From officials at all levels of Tenglongwei to ordinary military households and soldiers, they all needed a celebration to celebrate the harvest of the year.

And by chance, Song Hao and Wang Yunqiao's marriage became a trigger, allowing everyone to vent their joy.

Near noon, the noise of the Yang family resounded, and the street outside was also noisy.

In the main hall of the front yard of the Yang family, Yang Zhengshan also looked at the newlyweds with a smile on his face.

"Master, Master's wife!"

Wang Yunqiao's eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had cried many times.

"Okay, okay, don't cry on this happy day!" Yu Qingyi wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Yeah!" Wang Yunqiao nodded repeatedly, with a smile on her face, but the tears in her eyes could not be stopped.

At this moment, probably no one could empathize with her.

When she was eight years old, all her family members except her younger brother were killed by mountain bandits.

At that time, she came to Yangjia Village with her younger brother in her arms like a person who had lost his soul.

Yang Zhengshan adopted them and accepted them as disciples.

In eight years, she grew up from that little girl in trouble, and her younger brother grew up to the same age as she was at that time.

Thinking back to the eight years of life in the Yang family, thinking back to that day when she followed Yang Zhengshan with trepidation, thinking back to her parents whose appearance she could hardly remember, and then looking at her master, master's wife, senior brother, senior sister-in-law, and her own brother who were right in front of her.

She felt like it was a dream.

"Sister, don't cry!" Wang Mingzhe stepped forward and held her hand.

Wang Yunqiao stroked his head, "After sister gets married, you have to be filial to master and master's wife for sister!"

"Yes!" Wang Mingzhe nodded vigorously.

"Junior sister, senior brother will carry you to get married!" Yang Mingcheng stepped forward and squatted down.

Wang Yunqiao looked at Yang Zhengshan, who stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "Go, don't miss the auspicious time."

"Disciple thanks master!"

Wang Yunqiao knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down her face, staining her red makeup.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes were slightly red, hey, this girl has to cry her heart out today.

This made his old father's heart ache a little.

But just when Yang Zhengshan wanted to help her up, she quickly got up from the ground and threw herself on Yang Mingcheng's back.

"Brother, thank you!"

"Hahaha, my sister is getting married!" Yang Mingcheng laughed and carried Wang Yunqiao on his back.

Looking at the back figure going away and listening to the noise outside, Yang Zhengshan's emotions were also a bit complicated.

Happy, sad, and a little unhappy.

Once a teacher, always a father. In his heart, Yunxue and Yunqiao are actually similar, both of them were raised by him.

It is inevitable that he feels a little jealous when his daughter is getting married.

"It is almost time, Master, you should go to the banquet!" Yu Qingyi reminded.

"Yes!" Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

This time, he also took advantage of the wedding of Song Hao and Wang Yunqiao to invite all the officials of Tenglong Guard. Song Dashan even wanted to invite all the old brothers who came from Anyuan City, and set up hundreds of buffets in the city.

The buffet was set up on the street, and anyone inside or outside the city could eat and drink.

Yang Zhengshan looked down at Wang Mingzhe beside him and smiled, "Let's go, Master will take you to the banquet!"

Wang Mingzhe raised his head and grabbed Yang Zhengshan's big hand, with a well-behaved smile.

"Thank you, Master!"

Yang Zhengshan laughed and walked out of the main hall with the little guy, greeting the relatives and friends who came to the banquet.

In fact, all the people who came to the banquet were officials of Tenglong Guard.

Such as Xie Yuan, Wu Chongzhe, Yu Tonghai, Xue Ping, etc.

After all, apprentices are not as good as daughters. It is not that there is a difference in Yang Zhengshan's heart, but the difference in status.

When Yang Yunxue got married, not only did officials from the entire Anyuan City come to the Yang family to congratulate, but many people also sent gifts in advance.

In comparison, there were fewer people who congratulated Yun Qiao.

However, this was already very lively in Tenglongwei.

"Haha, I won't say much. Today, we won't talk about official business, just eat and drink!"

"See, the top-grade Baicao wine, colleagues, don't say that I am stingy, today I will have enough!"

Yang Zhengshan naturally would not toast at every table, he just shouted at the top of his voice.

"My lord is generous!" Yang Mingzhen, sitting below, shouted with joy.

Baicao wine!

This is the treasure of the Yang family. They follow Yang Zhengshan and occasionally drink it, but it is the first time that they have enough today.

"Come on, drink!"

"Master Yu, you must not leave until you are drunk today!"

Yang Zhengshan sat at the main table and clinked glasses with Yu Tonghai.

"Haha, thanks to Master, I will not leave until I am drunk today!" Yu Tonghai laughed.

At this time, he was completely different from when he first came to Tenglongwei.

When he first came to Tenglongwei, he was full of worries and uneasiness, but after understanding Tenglongwei, his uneasiness and worries had long disappeared, and he was even glad that he came to Tenglongwei.

To say how good Tenglongwei is, that's not the point. The only thing that makes him feel comfortable in Tenglongwei is that there are not so many struggles for power, open and secret struggles, not so much dirt and mess, and embezzlement.

In Tenglongwei, he can do things with peace of mind and doesn't need to consider other things. This is where he feels most comfortable.

"Master Xue, you must not leave until you are drunk too!" Yang Zhengshan clinked glasses with Xue Ping again.

"Master, don't worry, as long as there is still wine in your house, I will definitely not leave!" Xue Ping joked.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

"That's right, that's right. It's rare that the Lord is so generous. We must drink up all the wine in the Lord's house!" Wu Chongzhe also said.

Yang Zhengshan suddenly had a bad premonition.

He felt that his previous words seemed to have dug a hole for himself.

Although he brewed a lot of Baicao wine, the people in front of him were all big wine barrels.

If they were really allowed to drink, the Baicao wine in his cellar might not be enough.

However, the words had been spoken, and he couldn't take them back. He could only bite the bullet and say: "Drink as much as you want!"

Yang Zhengshan thought well. He definitely spent a lot of money today.

In the past two years, the most thing he did in the Lingquan space was brewing wine.

Not only did he store dozens of jars of Baicao wine in the cellar in the space, but he also dug several cellars in the Yang family to store Baicao wine.

There were hundreds of jars of Baicao wine in the Yang family cellar alone, and there were many jars of 100 kilograms, 50 kilograms, and 10 kilograms.

As a result, in just one day, the Yang family's cellar became empty.

The next day, Yang Zhengshan looked at the empty cellar, his face turned pale.

This was more than 5,000 kilograms of wine, and they drank it all.

"Why is it all gone?" Yang Zhengshan was a little tearful.

"The master said that there was enough wine, and people from the family, the Song family, and the outside came to get wine, and I couldn't stop them!" Wu Hai said a little nervously.

"Why did the Song family come to get wine?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Wu Hai said: "Didn't the master send it? Later, Mr. Song said that it was not enough, so he came to get it himself, and the master agreed."

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was speechless for a while, it seemed that he really agreed to this, and he also said at the time, 'He can take as much as he wants'.

Damn, he was so happy that he forgot that Song Dashan was a gourd head.

If it was someone else, he would definitely not take all the wine, but it was Song Dashan. Yang Zhengshan said that he could take as much as he wanted, so Song Dashan really wanted to take all and really took all!

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and said nothing. It would be fine if I dug a hole myself, but this idiot actually followed me to dig a hole.

Forget it, forget it~~

He really couldn't do anything with this idiot.

Fortunately, there are still some in the space, otherwise the wine at home would be gone.
