Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 562: Chongshan Town Shocking Change

After chatting for a long time, Wang Bin said, "In the future, I may have to trouble Yang Hou to take care of Wang Sheng more!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. When Wang Sheng comes to Beijing, I will go to the Imperial Guards and find him a job!"

With Wang Sheng's ability and strength, it should be no problem for him to become a middle-level officer in the imperial guards. As for a higher official position, Yang Zhengshan is not sure how to arrange it for him.

After all, the Imperial Guards are not his territory. Lu Baishu can give him some face, but he cannot give orders to the Imperial Guards.

"That's good. I don't ask him to be rich and powerful, I just want him to live a stable life!" Wang Bin looked at Yang Zhengshan with gratitude.

With Yang Zhengshan's current status and position, he doesn't need to care about the Wang family's affairs at all.

The fact that Yang Zhengshan is willing to take care of the Wang family only shows that Yang Zhengshan is a person who cherishes old times.

He was very grateful to Yang Zhengshan for taking care of him and his son, and was also glad that he had formed this friendship with Yang Zhengshan back then.

Suddenly, Yang Zhengshan remembered something, "How old is Wang Sheng's second son this year?"

Wang Bin looked up in surprise, wondering why he suddenly asked this question.

"I'm sixteen this year!"

"What's your temper like?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Wang Bin was even more puzzled, but he still told the truth: "He is a bit dull, but he is a good kid. He grew up in Tieyuanwei. As you know, my life in Tieyuanwei was not very good, and he suffered a lot!"

You won’t have to suffer, but you won’t enjoy too much happiness either.

In Cheorwonwei, a poor place, there is no place to enjoy life even if you want to.

"Are you engaged?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Wang Bin was stunned. "No."

"Bring it to me some other day!" Yang Zhengshan said.

He wanted to marry Yang Wanting to Wang Sheng's second son, but he had to wait and see. The Wang family's family tradition was not bad, at least much better than Liu Zhe's family tradition.

The Liu family had a tradition of taking concubines. Liu Yuanfu took a concubine when he was almost sixty years old. Liu Zhe was even more romantic. Although he only had one concubine in his family, he often frequented brothels when he was young.

In comparison, the Wang family did not have so many romantic debts. Wang Bin only had an old wife, and although Wang Sheng had a wife and a concubine, he seldom had affairs outside.

Both the Liu family and the Wang family were included in Yang Zhengshan's investigation scope. As for whether they were well matched, the Liu family and the Wang family were naturally not as powerful as the current Yang family.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care about these things, and he thought it would be beneficial for his granddaughter to marry into a family of lower status.

Since her parents' family is strong, her granddaughter will have more confidence in her husband's family. She doesn't have to compromise all the time. If she is really wronged, the worst that can happen is a divorce.

"What does the Marquis mean?" Wang Bin said with some surprise.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, "Don't worry, my granddaughter is very precious to me. If your grandson is useless, just pretend I never mentioned it!"

"We are old brothers, and I won't lie to you. If it's appropriate, everything is fine. If it's not appropriate, don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship. And we have to see what my granddaughter thinks. If she doesn't like your grandson, then don't come to me to plead for him."

Wang Bin laughed, "I understand, I understand!"

He was very happy that Yang Zhengshan would consider marrying into their Wang family. As for whether it could be successful, he would definitely not force it.

It would be best if they could become in-laws, but even if they cannot, the Wang family will still cling to the Yang family in the future.

"Come on, let's go drink! Today I prepared a drunken wine, I guarantee you'll be drunk!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Zhengshan dragged Wang Bin out for a drink.

……

In March, the temperature in Kyoto has warmed up.

The warm sunshine and tender buds decorate the whole Kyoto with vitality.

This spring, the Yang family has been very lively. First of all, Yang Chengxian's marriage was arranged. His partner was Zhu Mingqiu, the youngest daughter of Anshun Earl Zhu Rong. She was a very well-behaved girl with a graceful appearance, a gentle temperament, and a bit of smartness. She was not the kind of weak and indecisive woman.

Yu Qingyi, Wang and Yang Yunyan all thought that the girl was good, and Wu Zheng did not find any stains on her after his investigation, so Yang Zhengshan agreed to the marriage.

The two families have already made an engagement and are now deciding on a date, which should take place in June or July.

The second thing was Yang Wanting's marriage. Yang Zhengshan finally chose Wang Sheng's second son. It's not that Liu Zhe's grandson was not good, but that Liu Zhe's grandson was a little too smart. At first glance, he was a smart talent and would definitely take the imperial examination in the future.

Such a young talent is full of pride and may have a bright future, but he is not necessarily a good match.

Yang Zhengshan never chooses sons-in-law who are too talented, because in his opinion, the best match for his daughter is to find a husband who can live a stable life.

For example, Jiang He and Liang Jinyan are both gentle, down-to-earth and steady men. Maybe they will not become rich in the future, but they can provide a stable home for their wives and children.

Qu Changkong is an exception. That was Yang Wanqing's own choice. Yang Wanqing's life in the Qu family was definitely not as easy as Yang Yunxue's life in the Liang family.

Because Yang Wanqing needs to bear a lot of responsibilities and obligations in the Qu family, just having children may require Yang Wanqing to make compromises.

In comparison, Yang Yunxue has no pressure in the Liang family. Liang Jinyan does not have to inherit the title of marquis, nor does he need to take on too many responsibilities. It is enough for the couple to live their own lives.

So now Yang Yunyan and Yang Yunxue are both living very comfortably.

Wang Sheng's second son is called Wang Qianzhong. He has an older brother who inherited the family business, and a younger half-brother who helps each other. He is honest and reliable, tall and strong, and good-looking, and much more handsome than Wang Sheng.

Moreover, he has good aptitude in martial arts. He became a warrior when he was just sixteen years old. If he is trained well, his future cultivation will not necessarily be lower than Yang Wanting.

After Yang Wanting met Wang Qianzhong, she shyly said, "Please let grandpa decide." Then Yang Zhengshan and Wang Bin decided on the marriage of their two children.

After Yang Chengxian and Yang Wanting's marriage was settled, Yang Zhengshan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Marriage is a major family affair that cannot be taken lightly at all. Yang Zhengshan also spent a lot of time thinking about it.

The key is that the children of the Yang family grow up one after another. After Yang Chengxian, Yang Wanting and Jiang Miao get married, it will be Yang Mingzhao's turn.

Yang Mingzhao is already twelve years old this year. In two or three years, it will be time for him to get married.

Behind Yang Mingzhao are Yang Chengyou, Yang Chengzhang, Yang Wanning and others.

Time flies and children grow up fast. In the blink of an eye, a group of little kids have become teenagers.

Wang Sheng came to Kyoto from eastern Shandong in early March. He was accompanied by his wife and children, as well as Yang Qinwu and Yang Chengche.

Back then, these two guys followed Wang Bin to Beiyuan Town. Before that, Wang Bin wanted his wife and children to escape from Beiyuan Town, so he entrusted Yang Qinwu and Yang Chengche to escort them.

For several days, Yang Zhengshan first met with Wang Qianzhong, then arranged Wang Sheng's task, and then arranged the marriage of Wang Qianzhong and Yang Wanting. Finally, he had time to have a good chat with the two Yang brothers.

In the study, two rough men stood in front of Yang Zhengshan.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu have changed a lot.

Yang Chengche is now in his forties, and Yang Qinwu is thirty-three years old.

When Yang Zhengshan went to Chongshan Town, Yang Qinwu was only fourteen years old. He was the youngest and the youngest among Yang Mingwu and Yang Chengze. "Ah, you have suffered a lot over the years!" Yang Zhengshan said with a sigh.

Things are unpredictable. When Yang Zhengshan asked him to follow Wang Bin to Beiyuan Town, he also hoped that they could make a name for themselves in Beiyuan Town.

Who would have thought that Wang Bin was severely suppressed in Beiyuan Town, and they were also restricted in their actions in Beiyuan Town.

By now, Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze and others have become guerrilla generals in Chongshan Town, but they are actually serving as centurions in Cheorwon Guard.

Not only was there a gap in official positions, but there was also a gap in cultivation.

Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze, Yang Chengxu, Yang Mingzhen and others are now all ninth-level acquired martial artists, and their cultivation levels are eighth and seventh respectively.

Yang Chengche shook his head slightly, "Grandpa Zhengshan, it's us who failed to help General Wang open up the situation in Beiyuan Town!"

Yang Qinwu was a little dejected, he kept his head down and said nothing.

Yang Zhengshan patted their shoulders and said, "Okay, you don't have to blame yourselves. This is not your fault!"

It’s really not their fault. In Beiyuan Town, even Wang Bin was helpless, let alone them.

"Where are your wives and children?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yang Chengche said bitterly: "Life in Cheorwonwei is too hard, so we sent our wives and children back to Yangjia Village!"

"Well! What are your plans for the future?" Yang Zhengshan asked again.

Yang Chengche shook his head, "I don't know either, maybe he will go back to Yangjia Village!"

"Don't want to be an official anymore?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore! I've done enough!" Yang Chengche said with a decadent look.

Yang Zhengshan looked at them and felt both distressed and guilty.

Perhaps he should have transferred them out of Beiyuan Town earlier, but he didn't know that their life in Beiyuan Town would be so hard.

It’s not that Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu had not written to him before, but these letters only reported good news and not bad news, and they never mentioned how difficult their life in Cheorwonwei was.

Wang Bin did say that he had been trapped in Cheorwon Guard, but he just thought that Wang Bin was the deputy general, and even if he was in Cheorwon Guard, he should not suffer.

"Why are you going back to Yangjia Village? Your cultivation has fallen behind a lot over the years. Since you don't want to be an official, then stay in the Marquis' Mansion and be my personal guard to catch up first!"

"Qinwu is still young. If he works hard to cultivate now, it won't be a big problem for him to become a congenital warrior."

"Cheng Che, you are a little older, but you still have a chance to become a congenital warrior. Practice hard. As long as you can reach the ninth level of the acquired realm before the age of forty-five, you will have a chance to become a congenital warrior!"

Yang Zhengshan said in an excited tone.

Yang Qinwu is only 34 years old this year, not even 40 years old, so he still has a lot of room for improvement.

Although Yang Chengche is already forty-one years old, he has reached the eighth level of acquired cultivation. As long as he can reach a higher level, he will have a chance to become an innate warrior.

The worst that could happen is that you can just eat a few more Sanhuang plums. Yang Zhengshan can afford it.

Hearing that he could become an innate warrior, the dejected Yang Qinwu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is it really possible?"

"When have I ever lied to you!" Yang Zhengshan glared at him.

Yang Qinwu scratched his head, "I thought my life was over!"

Yang Zhengshan slapped him hard, "How old are you, kid? You've reached the end? From today on, you must practice hard. If you dare to be lazy, I'll beat you up!"

"Well, great uncle, I will practice hard!" Yang Qinwu smiled foolishly.

Yang Zhengshan put his arms around their shoulders and said, "That's right. Practice well. We don't seek fame and fortune, but only to stand tall and proud in this world!"

"Come on, uncle will treat you to a drink!"

Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu grinned. Although they had some setbacks in recent years, they had never blamed Yang Zhengshan. If it weren't for Yang Zhengshan, they might just be villagers in Yangjia Village now.

When they saw Yang Zhengshan again today, they once again felt Yang Zhengshan's closeness and love, which made them feel warm in their hearts.

Suddenly, the world that had become gray was full of colors again.

Yang Zhengshan also wanted to compensate them. They were the first members of the Yang family who followed Yang Zhengshan, and Yang Zhengshan had long regarded them as his nephews and nieces.

All the other nephews and younger generations have achieved something now, but they are the only ones who have been left behind. Yang Zhengshan feels a little guilty.

……

On the official road north of Chongshan Pass City.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a team of cavalrymen wearing leather armor and cloaks on their backs galloped from the north.

The leader was none other than Zhou Lan, and the cavalry behind Zhou Lan were Wang Yunqiao and her female army.

Shortly after Zhou Lan took over as the general of Chongshan Town, he brought Wang Yunqiao with him as his bodyguard and personal attendant.

Wang Yunqiao has trained thousands of female soldiers over the years, but most of them only trained for a period of time and then went home to take care of their husbands and children. Only three hundred female soldiers always followed her.

Of course, these 300 female soldiers were also married women, with husbands and children. However, compared to other women, they could have it a little easier when it came to matters concerning their children, because at least they had someone at home to help them take care of their children.

Zhou Lan still looks as heroic as ever. Although the years have left many traces on her face, she is still the capable General Zhou.

Just when they were two or three miles away from Chongshan Pass, a group of cavalry came galloping towards them.

"General!" The oncoming cavalryman saw Zhou Lan and hurriedly stopped his horse and shouted.

Zhou Lan also stopped his horse, looked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"

The cavalrymen quickly dismounted and came to Zhou Lan to salute. The leader was a man in his forties.

"Your Excellency the General, we are the guards of the Governor. The Governor was assassinated just now!" The man looked sad and spoke quickly in a low voice.

Zhou Lan was horrified. "What? Where did the assassin come from?"

The governor of Chongshan Town is Pang Tang. Over the years, Pang Tang has been working diligently and conscientiously in Chongshan Town. In order to fulfill the big plan that Yang Zhengshan had drawn for him, he devoted himself to governing the north.

And he has made great achievements in Chongshan Town over the years. The millions of disaster victims at that time are now living and working in peace in the northern part of Chongshan Town. The originally barren northern land has now turned into thousands of acres of fertile fields.

Not only in the north, the military households and civilians of the former Chongshan Town can now live and work in peace, and the business and horse management of the entire Chongshan Town have developed greatly.

It can be said that Pang Tang is the biggest contributor to the current prosperity of Chongshan Town.

Yang Zhengshan only laid the foundation and made a plan. Although Zhou Lan was in charge of the Chongshan Town army, her administrative ability was far inferior to that of the elderly and steady Pang Tang.

Today, Pang Tang is the backbone of Chongshan Town.
