Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 535: The Mystery
By November, the weapons and armor from the Ministry of War and the money and grain from the Ministry of Revenue had arrived at Zhaowuwei one after another. The construction of the temporary port and camp had been basically completed. Although the port could only accommodate some warships, it was enough to deal with the current situation.

That day, Luo Jinsong brought Lu Xinghe to Zhaowuwei.

In the study, after Lu Xinghe greeted him, Yang Zhengshan did not say much to him, but took him out of the yamen.

The three of them rode to the training ground on the coast. Looking at the soldiers who were training, Yang Zhengshan asked, "What did you see?"

Lu Xinghe was stunned, "Da Rong's military might!"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "What a mob!"

"A mob!" Lu Xinghe showed a puzzled look.

The soldiers in front of them were all from the Jiujiang Five Guards. Most of them had received more than ten days of training. They were in neat formations, had high morale, and looked well-trained.

In comparison, the Four Flags Army of the Xingyue Sect is just a mob.

Yang Zhengshan ignored his doubts and continued, "If you give me a year, I will definitely make them into real elites!"

"Unfortunately, I can't wait that long."

Lu Xinghe didn't understand what Yang Zhengshan meant by this and could only listen quietly.

"You should be thankful that I can't wait for a year, otherwise you wouldn't even have the chance to surrender!"

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him and said, "Two of the four flag armies have been destroyed. The remaining two plus a group of pirates who are not even a mob, I really don't take them seriously."

"If I didn't want them to suffer too many casualties, I would take them to Xingyue Island right now."

"I believe that they can defeat Xingyue Island even now!"

Lu Xinghe continued to remain silent. Although he felt uncomfortable, he could not refute Yang Zhengshan.

As Yang Zhengshan spoke, he rode his horse to the port. "If nothing unexpected happens, this place will not be demolished in the future. I will advise His Majesty to retain the establishment of the Four Seas Navy."

"Da Rong will have a powerful navy in the future, and all forces in the entire southeastern sea area will live under the shadow of Da Rong!"

Looking at those warships, Lu Xinghe's heart sank slightly.

Retaining the structure of the four naval forces is not good news for all forces in the southeastern waters.

Once Dayong attaches importance to maritime power, Dayong will undoubtedly become the overlord of the sea.

After staying at the port for a while, Yang Zhengshan took Lu Xinghe back to the yamen.

"You don't have much time left. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible! It would be best if you can help me, otherwise you will be buried with Xingyue Sect!"

"I understand. I will convince my mother as soon as possible!" Lu Xinghe said in a deep voice.

Before coming here, he still had some hope in his heart, but after meeting Yang Zhengshan, he realized that he only had one chance.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Well, I won't keep you any longer!"

……

After Lu Xinghe left, Yang Zhengshan began to prepare for the upcoming battle.

It's November now, and if everything goes well, maybe he can return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

As time went by, the situation of the four naval forces was gradually back on track. The camps and ports that needed to be built were still being built, the soldiers that needed to be trained were still being trained, and the corrupt officials that needed to be investigated were still being investigated.

When it comes to investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials, Sun Yunfeng is also a ruthless man. He almost wiped out the entire Dusi Yamen of Fuhai Province.

One commander-in-chief, two deputy commanders-in-chief, and three assistant commanders-in-chief were all investigated and dealt with by him.

He also investigated and punished many low-level officials in the Dusi Yamen.

After his operations, the Fuhaidusi Yamen almost became an empty shell.

"You really are merciless!"

In the study, Yang Zhengshan looked at Sun Yunfeng and said with some amusement.

"I am sorry for my recklessness and causing trouble for the Marquis!" Sun Yunfeng said with an embarrassed smile.

Recently he has become addicted to investigating corrupt officials.

If Yang Zhengshan had not asked him to investigate only the Dusi Yamen, he might have investigated all the Sansi Yamen.
These corrupt officials are so easy to investigate and deal with. Basically, you can find the evidence right away. You don’t even need to search for it specifically. You can find a lot of it just by looking around.

"The one in trouble is not me, but the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office! Haha, you are making things difficult for them!" Yang Zhengshan said indifferently.

Now, nine out of ten officials in Dayong are corrupt, and the remaining one may have just taken office and has not had time to be corrupt.

Not to mention Fuhai Province, even in Chongshan Town, if you investigate corrupt officials, you can find a lot of them.

Well, Yang Zhengshan was also considered a corrupt official back then. He had done everything from collusion between officials and businessmen to embezzlement.

However, Yang Zhengshan has a bottom line when doing things. Even if he wants to make money, he will not take it from the poor people.

But other corrupt officials are different. They are really harming people.

"My Lord, please take care of me!" said Sun Yunfeng.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, then opened the memorial in front of him and stamped his seal on it.

How to take care of Sun Yunfeng?
That would naturally be to help Sun Yunfeng take responsibility for this matter!

Sun Yunfeng certainly cannot handle such a large-scale investigation of corrupt officials alone, and it is not certain whether Yang Zhengshan can handle it.

hehe~~
Anyway, Yang Zhengshan is not worried about his debts now, and he is not afraid of the lice he has.

He estimated that there were many people in the court who had opinions about him during this period.

The officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue must have been secretly cursing him.

And in fact, this is indeed the case. Recently, there have been many voices against Yang Zhengshan in the court of Kyoto.

The reason is very simple. Yang Zhengshan spent too much on the four naval forces. The weapons and armor of the Ministry of War, the money and food of the Ministry of Revenue, and the warships of the Ministry of Works would all hit some people's sore spots.

However, no one impeached Yang Zhengshan because everyone knew that impeachment was useless.

At most, they complained to Emperor Yanping.

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Yanping returned to the imperial study. After reading several memorials, he couldn't help but complain.

"Marquis Jing'an really makes me worry!"

Zhang Mingzhong beside him laughed and said, "Your Majesty should understand that Marquis Jing'an has always liked to make trouble!"

He was not saying bad things about Yang Zhengshan, but telling the truth.

Yang Zhengshan has always been synonymous with being able to stir up trouble. Whether in Tenglongwei or Chongshan Town, he has stirred up a lot of trouble.

Just think about the tens of millions of taels of silver owed by Chongshan Town, and you will understand how much trouble he can cause.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely not dare to owe such a large sum of money.

It's not that Emperor Yanping is unaware of Yang Zhengshan. He was just complaining about him and he was not dissatisfied with him in any way.

"Allow 500,000 silver coins from the treasury to be sent to him! The Ministry of Revenue probably has no money left!" Emperor Yanping ordered.

These days, the Ministry of Revenue comes to him every day to complain about being poor, which makes him very upset.

Fortunately, he still had a lot of cash in his treasury, which he could send to Yang Zhengshan first.

I have money in my hand and don’t panic.

Emperor Yanping is now a local rich man. The Imperial Merchants Bureau gives him two to three million silver coins every year, and he hardly touches these silver coins.

Zhang Mingzhong responded and went to transfer money to Yang Zhengshan.

……

Zhaowu Guard.

In the dead of night, Yang Zhengshan stood in the small courtyard, looking at the sky filled with dark clouds.

It is going to rain!

And it was raining heavily!
The next moment, a pale flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, as if the sky had cracked.

Rumble~
The sound of thunder shook and resounded throughout the sky.

Then, raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

Yang Zhengshan's mind moved slightly, and a faint green light appeared on the surface of his body, which acted like a thin film to keep the rain out.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The rain was pouring down, and he just stood quietly in the rain.

The whole person was like a statue. If it weren't for the flash of thunder, no one would have been able to detect his existence.

Time passed minute by minute, until the low-lying areas in the courtyard were filled with rain water, and then Yang Zhengshan turned and walked into the house.

"Master Hou!"

Inside the house, the personal attendant Li Chang called softly.

"Well, you take a rest and don't worry about me!" Yang Zhengshan said and went into the inner room.

Li Chang ignored him and sat on the bench leaning against the wall to take a nap.

The followers were all used to Yang Zhengshan's temper and style of doing things. It was not the first time that Yang Zhengshan had done something like standing in the yard and installing statues for no apparent reason.

After Yang Zhengshan entered the inner room, he entered the Lingquan space with a slight movement of his mind.

The Sanhuangli and Bingxin fruits in the Lingquan space are ripe.

The two Bingxin fruit trees produced a total of thirty-six Bingxin fruits, while the one Sanhuang plum tree only produced twelve Sanhuang plums.

The number of fruits produced by the Bingxin fruit tree is fixed, bearing fruit once every three years, and only eighteen fruits each time.

The number of fruits produced by the Sanhuang Plum tree will increase as the tree grows older.

This year is the first time that the Sanhuang plums have borne fruit, and only twelve fruits were produced.

Yang Zhengshan has put away all the fruits, but he has been refining the Jade Bone Ice Heart Pill in the past few days.

One Ice Heart Fruit can be used to refine one Jade Bone Ice Heart Pill. He refines one every night and has refined four Jade Bone Ice Heart Pills so far.

When Yang Zhengshan refines all the Bingxin Fruits into Yugu Bingxin Pills, he will have twelve Sanhuang Plums and thirty-six Yugu Bingxin Pills in his hands.

With so many Sanhuangli and Yugu Bingxin Dan, even if they were piled up, they would be enough to create a congenital warrior.

If we wait another ten years, the Xingyuan Fruit will also start to bear fruit. By then, the spiritual fruit resources in the entire Dayong will not be as abundant as the resources in Yang Zhengshan's hands.

More importantly, the spiritual spring space is large enough to continuously grow more spiritual fruits. Whenever Yang Zhengshan thinks that he will have endless spiritual fruits in the future, his heart is full of anticipation.

After spending two hours refining a Jade Bone Ice Heart Pill, Yang Zhengshan took care of the precious medicine garden in the Lingquan space and also got close to the horse.

It was not until dawn that Yang Zhengshan walked out of the Lingquan space and started practicing in the yard with his gun in hand.

The black iron spear was wielded freely in his hand as if it were nothing, and every move he made revealed terrifying power.

While Yang Zhengshan was practicing, An Yuxing suddenly sat on the wall, holding a wine gourd and drinking from it.

"Why do you practice shooting every day?"

he asked with some confusion.

When a warrior reaches the innate level, there is actually no need to practice spear and sword techniques every day. As the saying goes, no moves are better than moves. Innate warriors are no longer bound by the use of moves, and each move should be done at will.

Generally speaking, innate warriors will practice spear and sword techniques every now and then to keep their skills fresh.

There are also some special people who even directly abandoned the spear and sword techniques, like An Xingyu. In his early years, he practiced a hard whip, which could smash rocks with one whip. But now he either holds a wine gourd or a wine pot all day long, and does not carry a whip at all.

"It's just a habit!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile as he put away his spear.

"This is a bad habit. Instead of wasting time on it, it's better to experience the wonders of the mystery." An Yuxing said casually.

"Isn't the mystery hidden in this one move?" Yang Zhengshan said disapprovingly.

The so-called mystery is the characteristic of innate true qi. Innate true qi of different attributes has different mysteries. Different warriors have different perceptions of innate warriors, and the mystery they grasp is also different.

Therefore, the mystery varies from person to person.

There is no most powerful mystery in this world, only the mystery that suits you best.

Although An Yuxing drinks from a wine jug every day as if he is just a drunkard, drinking is also a form of practice for him.

An Yuxing looked up at Yang Zhengshan, and suddenly waved his sleeves. In an instant, water condensed into arrows and whizzed towards Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan thrust out with his spear, and each spear emitted more than ten spear beams, each of which landed accurately on the water arrow.

The sound of popping came one after another, and the true energy burst out after the collision, falling on the ground and walls, leaving tiny holes.

An Yuxing was surprised when he saw this.

"This is!"

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What do you think of this move?"

An Yuxing rubbed his chin, "It seems that I have touched the threshold of subtlety, and found the key to the mysterious path."

"But it's still far behind the predecessors!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Controlling the Qi to form spears, which instantly turned into dozens of spear beams, can be considered a subtle way of expression.

As for the wonderful mystery, the characteristic of Yi Wood Changchun Zhen Qi lies in its variability. Yi Wood, born in spring, is like peach and plum, in summer, is like crops, in autumn, is like tung and osmanthus, and in winter, is like exotic flowers.

It gives birth to all things and gives them endless life; in the sky it is wind and on the ground it is trees, so it is called Yin Wood.

The Heavenly Stem Jia is revealed, and the Earthly Branch Yin is hidden. This is like the ivy and the pine and cypress. In spring, they get help, and in autumn, they also get support. So it can be in spring or autumn, which means all four seasons.

Yi wood is assisted by Changchun, which adds a sense of longevity in this changeability. Spring and autumn are both spring, and all things are in spring. Although Yi wood is soft, Changchun can last for a long time.

Yang Zhengshan's understanding of Yimu Changchun Gong is its variability and lastingness.

Combined with his accustomed gun techniques and gun momentum, each of his moves has many more variations.

Of course, this is just his current perception. He is right. Whether in terms of the mystery or the subtle realm, he is far behind An Yuxing.

But An Yuxing didn't think so. "You have only been in the Xiantian realm for a few years. I have been in the Xiantian realm for nearly fifty years. Maybe in a few years you will surpass me!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled, put away his spear, and said nothing more.

If he said he could surpass An Yuxing, he still had some confidence, but if he said there was a promising future, he felt very confused.

Regarding the innate way, he only saw two ways: the mysterious way and the subtle way. As for entering the way, he still has no idea.
