Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 658: Martial arts is what the Yang family pursues!

The parade ground was just on the west side of the banyan tree. An Yuxing ran directly to the banyan tree, holding a wine gourd and looking at the soldiers who were training in the parade ground.

"Boy, where do those soldiers come from?" An Yuxing asked.

"Them!" Yang Chengmao took a look and said, "They used to be the people of Xingyue Island."

An Yuxing said thoughtfully: "They all seem to have good talents!"

"Yeah!" Yang Chengmao nodded.

On this point, An Yuxing was not as alert as Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen had already discovered the problem with the alcohol, but An Yuxing had drunk so much and had not noticed it until now.

The amount of wine and beverages Yang Zhengshan gave to An Yuxing was many times more than that he gave to Ji Zhen. An Yuxing knew which kind of wine tasted good and which kind of wine was tasteless, but he had never thought carefully about the effects of those wines and beverages.

"Those bows and arrows?" An Yuxing noticed the archers training on the parade ground.

Yang Chengmao explained: "Master, those are all ten-stone strong bows."

"Ten stones? So many?" An Yuxing was a little surprised.

Darong did have strong bows with a weight of more than ten stones, but there were not many of them.

It is mainly limited by the materials used to make bows. It is not that there are no materials suitable for making strong bows, but that those materials suitable for making strong bows are more suitable for making other weapons.

There are not many warrior archers, so martial arts masters do not have such a great demand for strong bows. This is why strong bows weighing more than ten stones are rare.

The aerial roots of the banyan tree are very suitable for making the bow of a strong bow. It is simply a unique material for making bows.

Previously, the Yang family seized nearly five hundred powerful bows from the Shenmu Sect, three hundred on the Xingyue Island, and more than two hundred on the Shenmu Seven Islands.

Although the Yang family has begun researching the technology for making strong bows in the past few months, it will take another year or so before they can mass-produce strong bows.

Therefore, at present, there are only 500 strong archers in the Shenmu Navy who are training archery, but this number is already a lot in An Yuxing's eyes.

Yang Chengmao pointed to the aerial roots under him and said, "Master, the aerial roots of this banyan tree are excellent for making strong bows. Moreover, the bark of the banyan tree can be used to make silk and bowstrings!"

"It is said that the bowstrings of those powerful bows are made of deer tendons and the bark of the banyan tree, but I don't know much about this matter, I only know the general idea!"

The process of making a strong bow is still very complicated. It takes more than a year to make a high-quality strong bow.

Although the Yang family inherited the bow-making techniques of the Shenmu Sect, many techniques take time to complete, so it was mentioned earlier that the Yang family would have to wait for a year or so before they could mass-produce strong bows.

An Yuxing looked down at the lush banyan tree under his feet and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect this tree to be so extraordinary!"

"My grandfather said that the banyan tree is full of treasures and asked us to take good care of it!" said Yang Chengmao.

"Hmm!" After being surprised for a while, An Yuxing continued to observe the soldiers in the parade ground.

"Does your grandfather have other treasures?"

Yang Chengmao asked doubtfully, "Master, what do you mean?"

An Yuxing stroked his graying beard and said, "Your progress in cultivation is a little unreasonable. Look at those soldiers, they are all acquired warriors, and they are all around 20 years old!"

"There are many talented warriors like this in Darong. In the past, there were two to three thousand in the Martial Arts Pavilion, but the Martial Arts Pavilion has gathered more than half of the talents in Darong!"

"And what about you?"

"How many people are there on your Shenmu Island now? How many people are there on Darong?"

Yang Chengmao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Master, you are right, my grandfather has many treasures!"

"Oh, what treasure?" An Yuxing became interested.

He felt that Yang Zhengshan had many secrets, but he knew it was too difficult to get information from Yang Zhengshan, so he chose to get information from his apprentice Yang Chengmao.

"Haha, Master, isn't the wine you drink a treasure? This wine is more precious than precious medicine outside!" Yang Chengmao is not so easy to fool.

Of course, the Yang family has many secrets, but the Yang family’s secrets have strict confidentiality principles.

Yang Zhengshan did not make any other regulations, but only required that the number of spiritual fruits be kept confidential.

"Wine!" An Yuxing nodded as he looked at the wine gourd in his hand. "I know that, but this wine shouldn't have such a big effect!"

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Chengmao said, "Master, did you drink all the wine that Grandpa gave you?"

An Yuxing said: "Of course, this is all my wine, why should I give it to others!"

He is an old drunkard and is addicted to alcohol.

Everything can be shared except good wine.

Yang Chengmao spread his hands and said, "This wine is naturally not very effective for you, but it is very effective for ordinary warriors and acquired warriors!"

"Ordinary warriors can drink it to strengthen their physique and repair hidden injuries. If they can drink it regularly, their training will be twice as effective with half the effort."

An Yuxing was a little confused, "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Yang Chengmao said, "As far as I know, many people's cultivation has been improved because of drinking these drinks!"

"Like your disciple Qinyong, he started drinking these drinks when he was fifteen years old. Now he is twenty-one years old, and his cultivation has reached the second level of the acquired realm."

"In fact, my nephews are all similar. They can enter the acquired realm at around 20 years old, and then break through every two or three years. If nothing unexpected happens, they can reach the ninth level of the acquired realm at the age of 40!"

Although Yang Chengmao didn't know the existence of the spiritual spring water, he had discovered the secret of the wine long ago.

In fact, the secret of the wine is no longer a secret within the Yang family, nor is it a secret in other families. It’s just that only a few people outside have discovered this secret.

An Yuxing looked at the wine gourd in his hand, then looked up at the soldiers in the training ground. His face turned pale and then he couldn't help but swear, "Fuck~~"

He has always been resentful of his useless descendants, thinking that they are a bunch of trash whose cultivation progress is extremely slow.

Looking at the children and grandchildren of the Yang family, and then looking at the children and grandchildren of the An family, he sometimes really wanted to slap those useless children and grandchildren to death.

It’s okay that it’s not as good as the Yang family, but it’s still not as good as other families.

Such as the Liang family, Zhou family, Hengdao family, Xue family and so on.

In recent years, many young talents have emerged in the Xue family of Haichangbo Mansion, but except for An Chenhui, there has not been a decent talent in his An family.

Looking back now, An Yuxing suddenly realized that he was the one who drank up the resources of his children and grandchildren.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"This old man is really, really~~"

He really wanted to curse others and himself, but in the end he didn't.

"Can they all drink this kind of wine?" An Yuxing asked, pointing at the training ground opposite.

Yang Chengmao hesitated for a moment, "We can drink it occasionally, and on festivals, Grandpa will reward them and have people prepare wine and food for them to have a big meal!"

An Yuxing felt a little distressed.

Damn, how much alcohol has he drunk over the years?

Although Yang Zhengshan left Darong, he never forgot him and sent him 20 to 30 jars of wine every year. These wines could have been used as resources for cultivating his descendants, but he ended up drinking them all. If he had known that this wine had such an effect, he would have been more patient and drank less.

hey~~
An Yu left without saying goodbye. No, he asked Yang Chengmao to help him say goodbye to Yang Zhengshan.

As for why he left, it was simple. He wanted to move his family to Shenmu Island.

The old man was cunning and went back to call for help without even consulting Yang Zhengshan.

He wants to blame Yang Zhengshan and the Yang family.

Just when An Yuxing left, Yang Chengye arrived at Shenmu Island.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Yang Chengye looked at the port under construction, feeling a little excited, a bit like a wanderer returning home.

Although this was his first time on Shenmu Island, the Yang family was his home. Wherever Yang Zhengshan was, that was where his home should be.

Before Yang Chengye's ship entered the dock, he saw many figures standing on the platform at the dock.

"Dad!" A young boy jumped up and waved towards him.

Yang Chengye looked at those people and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Yu and Yang Ruohan, who were standing beside him, also showed delighted expressions.

Especially Yang Ruohan, who waved happily and shouted: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, big sister!"

Yang Chengye has three sons and two daughters. Except for the youngest daughter Yang Ruohan, the other children are on Shenmu Island. Yang Ruohan did not come to Shenmu Island because she is still young.

She is only ten years old now, and the Yang family has formed a tacit understanding that children who are away from home will be sent to the Yang family to practice when they turn thirteen. When they become warriors at the age of fifteen, they will start to arrange their wedding. After marriage, they will have children when it is time to have children, and practice when it is time to practice.

If there is no necessary reason, just stay in the Yang family honestly.

So Yang Chengye's three sons, Yang Qinyuan, Yang Qinming and Yang Qinsheng, were all on the island, and his daughter Yang Ruochen was also on the island. She married Wu Zhan's youngest son, Wu Anhe.

Standing at the port to greet them were Yang Chengye’s children and grandchildren.

When the boat docked, everyone came to greet it, and Yang Chengye's face was wrinkled with smiles!

Yu was the same. She was so happy just looking at this grandson and hugging that granddaughter.

"Dad, let's go home quickly. Our great-grandfather is waiting for you at home!" Yang Qinyuan stood beside Yang Chengye and reminded him softly.

Yang Chengye nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back first!"

Then they changed to a small boat and headed to the other side of the lake.

When they got off the boat again, Yang Qinyuan introduced himself to Yang Chengye.

"Dad, this is the commercial district. The government has already made plans and will start construction after the new year!"

"That's the school over there. The government plans to build three middle schools on the island. This is one of them. The other two are in the market town on the island."

"Dad, that's the government office. It used to be the temple of the Shenmu Religion. Our yard is right next to the temple!"

He pointed to the courtyard to the east of the temple. Those courtyards were large and small. They used to be the residences of Shenmu believers, but now they have become the residence of the Yang family.

Those courtyards still need to be renovated, and the government has made new plans, but it will probably take another year before they can be built. There is no other way. There are simply too many buildings that need to be built on Shenmu Island, and it will take at least three or four years to complete the basic construction.

A moment later, they arrived at Yang Zhengshan's yard.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were already waiting in the hall. Not only them, but Yang Mingcheng and Wang were also released by Yang Zhengshan.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom!"

Led by Yang Chengye, a large group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the muscular Yang Chengye and smiled.

The eldest grandson came back, and as a grandfather, he was very happy and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Well, that's good. Did you have a smooth journey?"

Yang Zhengshan helped Yang Chengye up and patted him on the shoulder.

"It went very smoothly. There were no accidents along the way." Yang Chengye said with a smile.

After a brief greeting, Yang Zhengshan took Yang Chengye and Yang Mingcheng to the study. In the hall, Yu Qingyi, Wang, Yu and Luo started talking.

It's very interesting to talk about the daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter-in-law getting together.

Yu took Yang Ruohan to meet her great-grandmother and grandmother. Yang Ruohan is ten years old this year and will be eleven years old after the New Year.

She looks very similar to Yu, and seems to be well-behaved and lovely, and behaves gracefully in front of Yu Qingyi.

The family gets together and asks about each other's well-being, which seems very warm and harmonious.

In the study, Yang Zhengshan and Yang Chengye talked about Darong.

In fact, there is no need to be so anxious. The Chinese New Year is in two days, and there is still time to wait until after the New Year.

But since Yang Chengye is back, it would be better to talk to him first so that he can be mentally prepared in advance.

"I, Grandpa, don't want to be the emperor. I want to take Qin Yuan over in a few years and let him inherit the title!"

Upon hearing that Yang Zhengshan intended to make him emperor, Yang Chengye suddenly became anxious.

He has always wanted to go home, there is nothing he can do about it.

Chongshan Town is also part of the Yang family's assets. As the eldest grandson of the eldest son, he naturally has to guard this family business.

If his father was more reliable, he could relax a bit, but after all, his father is Yang Mingcheng's.

When Yang Mingcheng abandoned his title and ran away, he was very depressed.

If possible, he would rather stay with Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan smiled with great satisfaction. He was not blinded by the emperor's power. He still felt very relieved.

Yang Mingzhao does not value imperial power, and neither does Yang Chengye. Other members of the Yang family do not take the throne or imperial power too seriously either. This is the result that Yang Zhengshan likes to see the most.

To be honest, he was worried that the Yang family would fight among themselves for the throne.

That is the throne of Dayong, not the throne of a small dynasty.

Yang Zhengshan was not surprised that people did not care about the throne of Dajing, but he was also quite happy that people did not care about the throne of a dynasty.

Whether imperial power is good or not depends on the individual.

The vast majority of people in the world cannot resist the temptation of power and wealth. Countless people are willing to give up everything for power and wealth, even at the cost of their lives.

But the Yang family doesn't care about power and wealth. Are all the people in the Yang family indifferent to fame and fortune and have no desires?
Do not!
That’s because the Yang family has higher aspirations.

Martial arts is what the Yang family pursues!
