Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

When he came to the west end of the village and looked at the tenants who were making soil embryos, Yang Zhengshan called the person who made the decision in each family to come over.

"Old man Fu, from now on you will manage the four of you. I will give you the cattle to raise, and we will take turns using the cattle during farming."

Yang Zhengshan said to a hunchbacked old man.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely raise the cows to be strong and strong." Old Man Fu said with a smile on his old face.

master!

The corners of Yang Zhengshan's eyes twitched slightly, we are now a master!

He felt a little uncomfortable with this title.

But he also understood that there were some things that he had to adapt to.

Upgrading from the peasant class to the exploiting class, he can't adapt even if he doesn't want to.

Now he only faces tenants, but in the future he will also face slaves. As the Yang family grows, slaves will definitely enter the Yang family.

"This is my eldest son. He will be responsible for everything in the fields from now on. If you have any problem, just ask him!" Yang Zhengshan introduced Yang Mingcheng to the four tenants.

Among the three brothers, Yang Mingcheng is the best at farming.

To be honest, it is somewhat humiliating to let Yang Mingcheng be responsible for farming. After all, Yang Mingcheng is now a warrior.

But Yang Zhengshan also has his own considerations.

In this world, we pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones, and distinction between concubines and concubines.

There is no such thing as a concubine in the Yang family, but they must pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones.

When Yang Zhengshan was here, the Yang family would naturally be dominated by him, but if Yang Zhengshan was not around, Yang Mingcheng would be responsible for the Yang family.

It was out of this consideration that Yang Zhengshan asked Yang Mingzhi to join the training and participate in the battle, and asked Yang Mingcheng to take care of the women and children at home.

The same will be true for the Yang family in the future. If Yang Zhengshan goes out, he will probably take Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao with him, and Yang Mingcheng will be responsible for guarding the house.

Now Yang Mingcheng is responsible for the family's fields. In the future, Yang Mingcheng will also be responsible for all the family's properties.

In addition to these, personality is also one of the reasons for Yang Zhengshan's arrangement.

Yang Mingcheng is honest and sincere, and is not suitable for working outside. In contrast, Yang Mingzhi is smarter and can be Yang Zhengshan's help outside.

As for Yang Minghao, haha, this bastard thinks about getting a wife all day long. Yang Zhengshan even suspects that he has nothing in his mind.

Yang Zhengshan is such a stupid son that he doesn't even bother to care about him.

"Little old man, I've met the uncle!" Old Man Fu said to Yang Mingcheng.

Yang Mingcheng smiled sheepishly, "You don't have to do this!"

But Old Man Fu still went his own way and always called Mr. Yang Zhengshan and Mr. Yang Mingcheng.

He had been a tenant farmer all his life and knew very well the face-saving temperament of squire and landlord. Even if Yang Zhengshan and Yang Mingcheng behaved very kindly, he still did not dare to be disrespectful at all.

Because they will have to beg for food under the Yang family in the future.

Don't think that tenants are the same as workers, they can resign and go on strike at will. As tenants, they are most afraid of something happening to their employer. Once something happens to their employer, they need to find a new employer.

Of course, they are also afraid that their employers will drive them away.

They are tenants, and if they are evicted, they will lose a year's harvest. This is a fatal thing for them.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care whether Yang Mingcheng could adapt to the change in status, and took them directly to the fields.

Although the 100 acres of land he bought belonged to Jiangjia Village, these fields were actually very close to Yangjia Village, only a seven or eight-minute walk away.

According to the labor force of the four tenant households, Yang Zhengshan divided the one hundred acres of land and the previous twenty acres of land to them, ranging from twenty to forty acres to each family.

When they went back, before they even entered the village, they saw Yang Minghao running over happily.

"Dad, dad~~" Yang Zhengshan heard his cry from a long distance away.

"What's wrong?"

Walking closer, Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yang Minghao chuckled, "Dad, the female general is here!"

"Female general!" Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows.

Thinking of Zhou Lan, he thought of Brother Yang with a hook in his voice.

Damn, it’s so inconsistent!

It's like a big man with chest hair calling you your love brother.

All right.

Saying this is a bit derogatory to Zhou Lan.

In fact, Zhou Lan still looks very good, but Yang Zhengshan's impression of her only stayed when she was wielding a machete to kill people.

That violent look, that dashing heroic demeanor, really shouldn't have a gentle side.

"What is she doing here?" Yang Zhengshan asked as he walked.

"I said I came to thank dad for saving my life!"

"Thank you!" Yang Zhengshan rubbed his inch-long beard thoughtfully.

He originally thought that after the last goodbye, he and the female general would never have any intersection again, or they wouldn't have any intersection in a short time. After all, Zhou Lan left a lot of things behind before, which can be regarded as repaying their kindness for helping.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lan came to the door so quickly just after Hu Qi's entry into the country.

He was a little confused about Zhou Lan's purpose of coming here.

Just to say thank you?

"Let's go take a look first!"

Yang Zhengshan quickened his pace and rushed towards home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he immediately saw nearly a hundred soldiers on horseback parked in the alley in front of his house. There were also four carriages. The carriages were full of things, but they were covered with oilcloth. It was not known what was on the carriages.

Zhou Lan stood in front of the soldiers with a calm expression.

Everyone in the Yang family stood inside the door, looking at Zhou Lan and other frontier soldiers with curiosity and awe.

There were many villagers from Yangjia Village watching and talking in low voices.

"I'm honored to meet you, General Zhou!" Yang Zhengshan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Zhou Lan waved her hand and smiled, "Brother Zhengshan, there's no need to be polite. I'm here to thank you for saving my life!"

Yang Zhengshan stood up and looked at her, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said, "General Zhou, please!"

Then he led Zhou Lan into the house, and said to the curious and timid Wang, "Old wife, serve tea!"

"My humble home is simple, please forgive me for the poor hospitality, General Zhou!"

Zhou Lan naturally didn't care about the simplicity of the Yang family. She was a border general and often slept in the open air. She was not one of those ladies from wealthy families.

She looked at the Yang family with interest.

The Yang family was indeed simple, but it was very clean. Wang and Li were both diligent people and kept the house very clean.

The two entered the main hall, and Wang brought tea with a slightly trembling hand.

Yang Zhengshan looked at her trembling hands and frowned.

Daughter-in-law, can you be more generous?

Isn't it just a tea?

Is it necessary to be so nervous?

But he also understood why Wang was nervous.

Wang was just a village woman. The highest official she had ever seen in her life should be Yang Zhengxiang, the head of the village.

It would be strange if she was not nervous when she suddenly met a general today.

Zhou Lan also noticed Wang's nervousness, reached out to catch the tea, and smiled gently: "Thank you!"

Her current gentleness was more in line with her appearance, full of energy, generous, and not weak at all.

After the tea was served, Zhou Lan took out a gift list, handed it to Yang Zhengshan and said: "These are my thank you gifts!"

Yang Zhengshan took the gift list and looked at it, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Zhou Lan's thank you gifts were many, including silk and silk cloth, gold and silver jewelry, furs and medicinal materials, a total of more than thirty kinds.

Among them were four war horses, a long spear, and a thousand taels of silver.

Looking at this gift list, Yang Zhengshan felt like a mountain of gold was falling on his head.

Damn, it's too generous!

He estimated that the gift list was worth at least five thousand taels of silver, or even more. He didn't even know the specific prices of many things.

For example, the spear, the gift list said it was a gilded flying fish spear.

Martial arts were popular in Darong, and the quality of the weapons used by warriors was very different.

In Yangjia Village, iron spears were already extremely precious things, and in the army, iron spears were one of the standard weapons of warriors. For example, the iron spear used by Yang Zhengshan before was specially made by the craftsmen in the army when the original body was in the border army. It was a good weapon for the original body.

If the iron spear was sold, it could be sold for at least twenty taels of silver.

And the gilded flying fish spear given by Zhou Lan was not just a question of how much it was worth.

The flying fish pattern was similar to the python shape, with fish fins, turtle tail, and two horns.

In the Darong Dynasty, the flying fish pattern was second only to the python pattern. Generally, items with flying fish patterns were awarded by the royal family.

Things related to the royal family must be extremely precious.
