Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 586 Preparing to Go to Xingyue Island

Setting up the Yang family business was a piece of cake for the two of them. In just a few days, they came up with a complete set of regulations.

The two companies directly sold their fleets to the Yang family business, and also sold more than a dozen shops to the Yang family business.

However, the Yang family business did not pay any silver, which was the one million taels of silver that Yang Zhengshan had mentioned before.

In a short period of time, Yang's business focused on maritime trade, mainly operating maritime trade business in Liaodong, Jiangnan, Fuhai and the southeast waters.

After Xingyue Island is finalized, the Yang family business will also establish a glass workshop, salt field, etc.

Currently, Luo Shang and Zhen Yang have only decided to build a glass workshop and a salt field. Although the glass market within Dayong has been occupied by the Imperial Merchants Company, there is still a vast market in the southeastern waters and the southern dynasties. They can make money in the southeastern waters and the southern dynasties with their glass products.

Salt fields and island salt drying have too many advantages. Perhaps this business cannot be expanded in the southeastern waters, but it must at least meet internal demand.

The two decided to build a salt field, one to meet internal needs, and the other to see if they could occupy the salt market in the southeast waters.

The Tenglongwei salt field has been established for more than ten years and has summed up a lot of practical experience, which has reduced the cost of salt drying a lot. At the same time, the quality of salt has also improved a lot. They can now produce snow-white refined salt.

Therefore, Luo Shang and Zhen Yang both felt that they could occupy a part of the salt market in the southeastern waters by relying on the quality of refined salt.

After the two of them agreed, Yang Zhengshan invited Deng Yuehe again.

In the tea room.

Yang Zhengshan, Luo Shang, Zhen Yang and Deng Yuehe sat together.

"Mrs. Deng, would you be willing to join Xingyue Island again?" Yang Zhengshan asked Deng Yuehe.

Today, Deng Yuehe is the right commander-in-chief of the Naval Commandery. Although he does not have much real power, he is still a high-ranking official in Darong.

The Lu family, to which Deng Yuehe belonged, also settled down in Darong. They bought a mansion in Kyoto and some fertile land, and were completely integrated into Darong.

Deng Yuehe thought for a moment and said, "It is a blessing for our Lu family that the old marquis is willing to support us. However, the old marquis also knows that our Lu family has been wandering for many years. Now that we have finally settled down in Darong, we really don't want to go back and wander around."

"If the old Marquis needs it, I can let my son bring a grandson to Xingyue Island to serve the Marquis!"

Yang Zhengshan felt neither dissatisfied nor surprised when he heard this.

This is human nature!

The Lu family had finally settled down in Darong, so there was no need for them to go back to Xingyue Island.

Deng Yuehe's decision to ask her son and grandson for help was already a compromise she made for Yang Zhengshan's sake.

"That's fine, but in this way, your Lu family's shares in the Yang family's business will only be half!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"I'm glad that the old marquis doesn't blame me!" Deng Yuehe felt a little relieved when she saw that he agreed.

Yang Zhengshan said: "In this case, let's just settle this matter. You can go to Xingyue Island in two days!"

"I have already written to Luo Jinsong. He has already made preparations over there. You can build the framework of the Yang Family Business when you get there!"

Luo Shang was the most enthusiastic and said, "Don't worry, old marquis, we are ready. We have prepared more than a hundred people including the shopkeeper, accountant, and clerks, and they can move to Xingyue Island at any time, along with their families."

"So good!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded with satisfaction, "I estimate that I will go to Xingyue Island in late September, and then we will make detailed arrangements on Xingyue Island!"

After the agreement, the three of them said goodbye and left.

In early September, the Luo, Zhen and Lu families took hundreds of people and boarded a boat from the Jinhaiwei dock to Xingyue Island.

On September 12, Wang Qianzhong and Yang Wanting got married, and the Yang family had a great time.

Wang Sheng was the commander of the Training Battalion among the 12 Battalions of the Imperial Guards. The commander of the Training Battalion was Lu Shizhi, and the 12th Battalion of the Imperial Guards was led by Lu Baishu. Both of them were old friends of Yang Zhengshan and would be able to take better care of Wang Sheng in the future.

Although the position of Bazong was not high, it was enough for the Wang family to settle down in Kyoto.

Besides, the Wang family is not poor. After all, the Wang family is a wealthy family in eastern Shandong and still has some assets.

This can be seen from the fact that Wang Bin bought a five-courtyard house in Kyoto City.

The Yang family gave Yang Wanting a lot of dowry, including a small farm outside the city, more than a thousand acres of land, three shops in the city, six slaves and more than thirty people.

Among these more than 30 people, there are personal maids, trained guards, and a manager who can write and calculate.

With some people around her, Yang Wanting will never suffer no matter what.

In addition to these, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi also prepared 12,000 taels of silver for Yang Wanting as a reserve.

So Yang Wanting is now a small wealthy woman, with more assets than the Wang family in Kyoto.

However, compared with Yang Wanqing, Wanting's dowry was still much less.

There is nothing that can be done about it. It's not that Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi are partial to each other, it's just that the situations are different and the dowries given cannot be the same.

Three days after their marriage, Wang Qianzhong and Yang Wanting returned home.

Yang Zhengshan, Yang Mingcheng, Yang Chengmao and Wang Qianzhong were drinking tea in the teahouse in the front yard.

Yang Wanting is Yang Mingzhi's eldest daughter, and Yang Chengmao is Wang Qianzhong's brother-in-law.

Since Yang Mingzhi was not around, it was natural for Yang Mingcheng, the elder uncle, to entertain his son-in-law on behalf of his father.

As for Yang Zhengshan, he was just here to join in the fun.

In fact, it is okay for him not to show up, after all, the seniority is there.

"Did your father tell you about finding a job for you?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Wang Qianzhong was still very nervous when facing Yang Zhengshan, and said with some hesitation: "Dad, Dad said not to rush, wait until he is familiar with the Imperial Guards and then try to arrange me into the Imperial Guards!"

Wang Bin is now serving as the deputy governor in the Right Army Governor's Office. This is just a sinecure and he does not have much real power. On the contrary, he is not as powerful as Wang Sheng who is the captain-general of the imperial guards.

At the very least, the captain-general could manage hundreds of people, while the deputy governor was just a nominal position in the yamen, which was an official position given to Wang Bin by the court for his retirement.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Mingcheng and said, "Send someone to the Martial Arts Pavilion tomorrow to find Hong Yanfeng and ask him to assign a job for Qian Zhong in the Martial Arts Pavilion!"

"You are still young, don't rush into things, and focus on cultivation."

"Your cultivation is not yet good enough to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion. You can practice while doing things in the Martial Arts Pavilion. When your cultivation is good enough, you can take the entrance exam to the Martial Arts Pavilion!"

"If you can graduate from the Martial Arts Pavilion, it will be much easier to get a certain official position in the future!"

Wang Qianzhong's aptitude for cultivation is still very good. If he practices hard, he still has a chance to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion.

But it's just an opportunity, and it's not absolute whether you can become a disciple of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The reason why he was asked to work in the Martial Arts Pavilion was not only because the training environment there was good, but also because Yang Zhengshan had left a lot of spiritual spring water when he went there a few days ago.

Entering the Martial Arts Pavilion in advance can also allow you to be nourished by the spiritual spring water in advance and adapt to the environment of the Martial Arts Pavilion in advance.

This is much better than Wang Qianzhong joining the Imperial Guards as a low-level military officer.

After briefly talking to Wang Qianzhong for a while, Yang Zhengshan ran to the backyard.

In the main courtyard, Yang Wanting was talking to Yu Qingyi, Wang, Yang Yunyan and Yang Yunxue.

Even though the little girl is married, she is still very lively and chatters all the time.

This girl has loved talking since she was young, and she is a bit of a chatterbox.

Before Yang Zhengshan entered the door, he heard laughter in the hall.

"What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?" Yang Zhengshan asked as he walked in.

"Grandpa!" Yang Wanting smiled like a flower.

"Grandpa!" There was another little girl in the hall, she was Yang Yunxue's daughter Liang Qingqing.

This girl is seven years old this year. She looks very much like Yang Yunxue, but she is prettier than Yang Yunxue, with a pair of bright big eyes that shine like stars.

When the little girl saw Yang Zhengshan, she immediately ran over and hugged Yang Zhengshan's legs.

Yang Zhengshan picked her up.

Yang Wanting smiled and said, "Let's talk about Qingqing starting to change her teeth. Grandpa, look at her teeth!"

Yang Zhengshan looked down at the little girl, but the little girl kept her mouth shut and said in a muffled voice: "Don't look, don't look!"

"Come, let grandpa see. Grandpa can make Qingqing's teeth grow out faster!" Yang Zhengshan said coaxingly.

The little girl really believed it and opened her mouth to ask, "Grandpa, when will Qingqing's teeth grow out?"

Seeing her teeth, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help laughing out loud.

The little girl looked fine when she didn't open her mouth, as pretty as a porcelain doll. But when she opened her mouth, she looked a little funny, because her two front front teeth were missing, and several of the lower teeth were also missing.

"Hahaha, it will grow out very quickly!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

"Grandpa!" The little girl was a little angry.

Yang Zhengshan quickly stopped smiling, pretended to observe carefully, and said seriously: "Well, Qingqing's new teeth have come out, and they will grow up in two months!"

"Really?" the little girl asked in surprise.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "Really!"

He didn't lie to the child. It would definitely grow out in two months, but the other teeth might fall out.

"Little fool." Yang Wanting said with a smile.

"I'm not a fool, my second cousin is the fool!" Liang Qingqing said without showing any weakness.

Then the two girls, one big and one small, started arguing.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but smile when he saw that Yang Wanting was still like a child.

Compared to Yang Wanqing, Yang Wanting is much simpler and more lively.

Yang Zhengshan sat next to Yu Qingyi and let the two of them quarrel.

"Dad, are you all going to Xingyue Island?" Yang Yunxue said a little disappointed.

Yang Zhengshan looked at her and said, "Well, we'll set off in a few days!"

The departure time has been set, and the people going to Xingyue Island have also been determined.

In addition to Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi, the Yang family also includes Yang Chengyou, Yang Chengzhang, and Yang Wanying.

The other children are too young and will not go to Xingyue Island with them for the time being.

Once things are settled there, Yang Zhengshan might take all the other children over.

Jiang He and Yang Yunxue's family will also go along.

But they will come back next year to marry Jiang Miao.

An Chenhui and Jiang Miao’s wedding is scheduled for next year.

There are also Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu, who will also go to Xingyue Island, and their families will be brought over.

In addition, a group of people from Yangjia Village will also be moved to Xingyue Island.

The Yang family has developed rapidly in recent years, and the population has increased a lot. The village, which originally had no more than a thousand people, now has more than 3,000 people, and many of them are young boys and girls.

After the rise of the Yang family, the rate of births within the family increased a lot, mainly because they had no worries about food and clothing and were not afraid of not being able to raise children.

Today, the Yang family has spread to many places outside Anning County.

Yang Zhengshan wanted to vigorously develop Xingyue Island, so he naturally would not forget the Yang family.

Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu have already returned to Yangjia Village. When the time comes, they will bring more than 300 members of the Yang family to Xingyue Island.

In fact, it would be better to move to Xingyue Island than to stay in Yangjia Village.

With Yang Zhengshan on Xingyue Island, there would naturally be no shortage of spiritual spring water on Xingyue Island. Practicing on Xingyue Island would definitely be faster than practicing in Yangjia Village.

Maybe moving to Xingyue Island won’t make you rich, but you will definitely achieve something in martial arts.

Yang Yunxue said somewhat depressedly: "It will be difficult for me to see my father and mother again in the future!"

Yang Zhengshan was also helpless.

Separation is inevitable.

Although it is very convenient to take a boat from Jinhaiwei to Xingyue Island, it is easier than going to Nanjiang Town, but it is thousands of miles away after all. Naturally, it is not like now that we all live in Kyoto and can meet whenever we want.

"If you miss me, you can go to Xingyue Island anytime. I will come back to visit you when I have time!"

Yang Zhengshan could only comfort her in this way.

Yang Yunxue could only nod dejectedly, "Dad, Mother, please promise me more in the future!"

"Haha, don't worry, your father is a congenital warrior." Yang Zhengshan laughed, trying to dispel his good daughter's depressed mood.

"By the way, where's Qingping?"

He asked, changing the subject.

Liang Qingping is Yang Yunxue’s eldest son and is eleven years old this year.

"He is doing his homework at home!" Yang Yunxue said.

Yang Zhengshan asked, "Do you want Qingping to go to Xingyue Island with me for a few years?"

"Is it okay? It won't cause trouble for Dad." Yang Yunxue was somewhat tempted.

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "What's the trouble? Chengyou and Chengzhang will follow, as well as Miaoer and Fenger."

Yang Yunxue said: "Then I will discuss it with my husband when I get back!"

"Well, tell Marquis Changping, he will definitely agree." Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Nowadays, everyone in Kyoto knows that Yang Zhengshan can train his disciples.

There is no need to say much about the children of the Yang family, each of them is extremely powerful in martial arts.

Yang Zhengshan also has many disciples, and An Chenhui and Prince An Chen Zhaoxuan now both have considerable strength.

The only one who is almost there is Crown Prince Chen Zhaojun, whose cultivation has just reached the acquired realm. In comparison, Chen Zhaoxuan's cultivation has reached the second level of the acquired realm. The two are five years apart.

Yang Zhengshan cannot be blamed for the prince’s low level of cultivation. It’s because the prince has too many things to do and has no time to practice with Yang Zhengshan.

Almost nine months have passed this year, but Yang Zhengshan has only met the prince four times.

Since returning from Chongshan Town, Yang Zhengshan has only met the prince once.

Emperor Yanping has asked the crown prince to observe government affairs, so the time he has to practice with Yang Zhengshan has been greatly reduced.

However, Chen Zhaoxuan often went to the Yang family.
