Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 659 Lingquan Medicinal Soup
Under Yang Zhengshan's teaching over the years, the Yang family has long since integrated the martial spirit into their bones.

Everyone is working hard to cultivate, everyone wants to reach a higher level, and everyone is striving towards the innate realm.

Everyone has selfish desires, and the Yang family is no exception. Their selfish desire is to allow themselves and their sons and grandsons to obtain more resources and cultivate to a higher level.

The internal harmony of the Yang family is not maintained solely by emotions, but by fairness.

Yang Zhengshan was impartial. He set up cultivation salaries and various rules. Everything was done according to the rules. If you want to get more resources, then you have to work hard at cultivation.

It's not just the Yang family, but also the vassal families of the Yang family. They are not all harmonious with each other, and there are differences in status and strength among them.

They are willing to follow Yang Zhengshan's footsteps closely because he can give them sufficient resources and guarantee that they will be treated fairly.

If there is no fairness, people will inevitably feel resentful. Once there is too much resentment, even the best relationship will break down.

Therefore, what maintains the harmony within the Yang family is not emotion or Yang Zhengshan’s prestige, but rules that are worth following, fair treatment, and the Yang family’s continuous upward trend.

Development brings unity, progress brings motivation, and a good development trend can bring everyone together and prevent internal conflicts from escalating.

The Yang family has so many vassals under their command, and there is definitely competition among them, but their competition does not involve interests, because Yang Zhengshan distributes the interests fairly, so their competition is benign.

The same is true within the Yang family.

Everyone was concentrating on cultivation, and had no time to worry about other things. If it wasn't their duty, they wouldn't even bother to spend their energy on unimportant things.

Just like Yang Chengye, if the title was not passed down by Yang Zhengshan, he would not care about the title at all and would not stay in Chongshan Town.

"As long as you can convince your uncle to stand in front and be the founding emperor, Grandpa won't force you!"

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The corner of Yang Chengye's mouth twitched slightly, "Grandpa, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"Haha~~ You, you should take care of Qinyuan more. Then you can abdicate early!"

Yang Zhengshan was also helpless. Everyone else was scrambling to be the emperor, but no one in the Yang family was willing to do it.

Yang Chengye sighed, knowing that he could not refuse this matter.

He still understands what kind of person his uncle is, as he is the nephew who watched his uncle grow up!

He thought it would be better not to waste his breath on him to persuade his uncle.

"Then what should I do next?"

Thinking of this, he could only think of his own life. Instead of trying to persuade his uncle, he might as well train his eldest son as soon as possible.

In this way, he might have abdicated a few years earlier.

"Don't worry, let's celebrate the New Year first!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

But they are not in a hurry. If the Yang family wants to seize the kingdom of Darong, they must not take it away from the Darong royal family, because the Yang family was once a minister of Darong. If they take the kingdom away from Darong, then the Yang family will be traitors and their status will be unjust.

Therefore, if Chongshan Town wants to start an uprising, it must wait until Darong dies.

The Yang family needs a knife, a knife that can cut off the corrupt dynasty of Darong at its roots.

Yang Zhengshan has already thought about it. Both King Daliang and Chen Hengchang can make this knife.

Once they break into Kyoto, it will be time for the Yang family to start their rebellion.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan is not in a hurry now and can just wait slowly.

……

Thirty nights of the ninth winter, cold and warmth separate. Sitting until the fourth watch, a year has passed.

Before we knew it, the fifth year of Jianxing, which is the eighteenth year of Shenmu, had arrived.

Counting the years, this is the thirty-ninth year since Yang Zhengshan came into this world, and he is already seventy-seven years old.

It is often said that seventy is the age of old age, and eighty is the age of old age. In another three or four years, he will be in his eighties.

But that is for ordinary people. For innate warriors, eighty or ninety is still in the prime of life and is far from being old.

At the very least, Yang Zhengshan still looks like he is in his early forties, with a ruddy face, black hair and beard, a straight body, full of energy, and a more majestic aura. He is still a handsome uncle.

He was wearing a long green shirt, with a three-foot-long beautiful beard fluttering in front of him. His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could pierce through people's hearts.

He stood on the cliff of Lingquan Mountain, overlooking the endless fertile plains in the south. He was not an emperor, but better than an emperor.

Yu Qingyi stood beside him, wearing a brocade moonlit skirt made of ice silk, with gold edges and a cloud-like pattern. She folded her hands in front of her, holding a bunch of white crabapple flowers in her jade-like palms.

She seemed younger, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were a little lighter. If it weren't for her overly mature temperament, many people would have mistaken her for a woman in her twenties.

Putting them next to Wang, Li and Liang, it is easy for people to misunderstand the relationship between them.

The mother-in-law is more like the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law is more like the mother-in-

In fact, the three daughters-in-law don’t look old, it’s just that Yu Qingyi looks too young.

Yu Qingyi looks young not only because her body ages slowly after she reached the innate realm, but also because she has been taking Bingxin Yugu Pills for many years.

This Ice Heart and Jade Bone Pill can also be called the Anti-aging Pill. It has the miraculous effect of keeping away from dust and dirt, untainted by worldly appearance, cleansing the marrow and clearing the veins, and making the skin pure as ice and jade. It can make the skin as white as snow and the temperament extraordinary.

Although Yu Qingyi is not as young and childish as Xue Qiaoer, she stands here with her clothes fluttering in the wind, her white clothes are whiter than snow, her long hair is like clouds, and she looks like a banished immortal, making it impossible to look up at her.

The New Year had just passed and Shenmu Island was still filled with the festive atmosphere, but Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi had to get busy in the space.

"It will take some time to complete the construction of the longevity village. Now we can only do it ourselves!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile, stroking his flying beard.

Yu Qingyi held the flower in her arms and smiled, "It's not a big deal, just do it yourself!"

"Let's start then?" Yang Zhengshan took Yu Qingyi's arm, and Yu Qingyi gave him a sweet smile in return.

Then the two of them started to get busy, Yang Zhengshan was responsible for fetching water, and Yu Qingyi was responsible for boiling the medicinal soup.

What are they doing?

In fact, it is not surprising, they are just making medicinal soup.

More than a dozen kinds of precious medicines and spiritual fruits such as golden thorn blood vine, moon star seed, all-colored flower, cold pine cone, ice heart fruit, etc. are boiled together and then added with spiritual spring water. This is an extremely mild medicinal soup.

A potion that replenishes qi and blood, fills up deficiencies, promotes blood circulation and qi circulation, strengthens the body, and treats injuries.

It can be used by both ordinary people and warriors in the body-building realm. If dragon bone fruit and ivy are added, it will also have the effect of enhancing and condensing energy, making it suitable for acquired warriors.

The key is that this medicinal soup is easy to make. Just put a big pot on the table, light the fire, and simmer it for an hour.

One pot of medicinal soup can be mixed with one hundred jars of medicine, and one jar of medicine weighs ten kilograms.

Drinking one pound of it every month is not much different from drinking spiritual spring water every day. Well, it is much different in terms of the effect of improving potential, and other aspects are not much different. Ordinary people can basically become warriors after drinking it for a year. If they continue to drink it for five or six years in the body-building realm, they can enter the acquired realm. If the acquired warriors continue to drink it, their cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.

The most important thing is that it is relatively easy to cook such a medicinal soup, which is countless times easier than brewing wine.

Yang Zhengshan and his wife could easily boil fifty pots of medicinal soup and mix five thousand jars of medicine in a day.

Put ten big pots on the stove at once, add water, and just add firewood from time to time. Yu Qingyi can handle it by herself.

Yang Zhengshan would fill the jar with water, add the medicinal soup, and then seal the mouth of the jar with oil paper.

These potions were prepared by them for Yang Chengye. Since Yang Chengye wanted to join the ranks of those fighting for world domination, the Yang family would naturally provide him with some resources and conveniences.

Let’s not talk about other things for now. This spiritual spring water must be obtained by Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi themselves.

Yang Zhengshan will definitely not go to Chongshan Town to take charge. If that happens, what will Yang Chengye do? At that time, both good and bad consequences will definitely be blamed on Yang Zhengshan.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan prepared these potions for Yang Chengye.

With these potions, Yang Chengye can train a truly elite force.

This is the support of grandparents for their grandchildren’s career!
……

On Shenmu Island.

Yang Mingzhao and Yang Chengye sat opposite each other.

The uncle and nephew were laughing and talking nonsense.

"Uncle, you've really caused me so much trouble this time!" Yang Chengye said with a look of resentment.

Yang Mingzhao leaned on the backrest and said with a smug look on his face: "You are just being ungrateful. How have I harmed you?"

"The founding emperor! He is someone who will go down in history. Taizu of Dayong, Taizu of Dasheng, and the Taizu emperors before them, which one of them is not a great hero worthy of respect!"

"My dear nephew, I believe that you can become a great hero like them and leave your name in history! Even if the dynasty changes again in the future, no one will forget you!"

Yang Chengye couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he had given up the idea of ​​arguing with Yang Mingzhao. There was nothing he could do because he was not as shameless as his uncle.

When he was still young, his uncle liked to take advantage of his seniority. When he was only five or six years old, he started to act like an elder. With a stern face and a stern voice, he would use his status as an elder to order his nephews to do this and that.

"Uncle, then you're not going to care about your Taiping Army?"

Yang Mingzhao picked up the tea and took a sip. "Why would you just ignore it?"

"I will ask Uncle Wu to continue to stay in Baoning Prefecture, and then they can train the troops and manage the people's livelihood. When you lead the army to Bashu, Uncle will definitely give you a prosperous city!"

"When the time comes, you can just recruit the Taiping Army. Li Wenchun, Li Baoshan, Chen Buyu, Chen Buren, etc., and assign them some official positions that are neither too small nor too small!"

"As for the others, I'll just take them back to Shenmu Island!"

He had already made plans. Ma Yan, Lu Bo, Li Dagui, Yang Ze and others were all members of the Yang family. He could arrange them any way he wanted without any worries. As for Li Wenchun, Chen Buyu and others, since they were willing to follow him in the rebellion, he had to give them a future.

It is hard to say whether they will have a bright future, but it is easy to give them an official position in the new dynasty. He even plans to seek a title for Chen Buyu, just an earl, too high a title would not be appropriate.

"No, no, uncle, you have to help me!"

Yang Chengye said: "How about this, you guys take down the entire Bashu first, and then help me keep an eye on Yunling Town, Wusi Town, and Anxi Town."

Yang Mingzhao shook his head. "No, of the three border towns, I can keep an eye on Anxi Town and Wusi Town, but I can't stop the troops from Yunling Town!"

Yang Chengye smiled, "Uncle, have you forgotten that you have a nephew-in-law in Nanjiang Town?"

Yang Mingzhao was stunned, and then thought of Yang Wanqing.

"You want to drag the Qu family into this?"

Yang Chengye's lips curled up slightly, "This is inevitable, but there is no rush for this matter, just take your time!"

"Once I raise an army in Chongshan Town, the Naqu family will have to make a choice. With Wanqing here, Duke Xingguo will definitely choose us!"

"But we can't give the Qu family much. At most, we can give them a hereditary title of Duke. So I don't want them to leave Nanjiang Town!"

Yang Mingzhao laughed, "You, you really think long-term!"

Yang Chengye did not hide it and said, "There is no other way. At this point, I naturally have to consider the long-term!"

"Duke Xingguo, Marquis Changping, Earl Haichang, Earl Anshun are all our relatives, so we should win them over if we can!"

"Duke Ningguo, Marquis Nanyang, Marquis Jianliang, they have always been very close to our family, so naturally we will try to win them over!"

"In addition, there are the Tenglongwei Liu family, the Luo family, the Zhen family, the Lu family, etc. They will definitely help too!"

"There are also some people and forces close to us. As long as they are willing to help, I can give them a hereditary title."

"I have thought it all out. Six dukes, twelve marquises, and thirty-six earls, all of whom will be hereditary and nobles of the new dynasty."

"The Qu family, the Liang family, the Zhou family, the Xue family, the Xie family, and the Han family are the six dukes!"

"As for the marquis and earl, it depends on who contributes the most!"

Yang Chengye has not been idle these days. He has been thinking about what forces he can borrow next, and has even thought about the future arrangements for each family.

Which forces and families can be won over, which forces and families must be eliminated, which people need to be taken care of, how to establish a new and stable group of nobles, etc.

One should not meddle in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction, but now Yang Chengye knows that he can no longer refuse. He has already made preparations to fight for supremacy in the world and to found a dynasty. Naturally, there are some things that he needs to consider in the long term.

His greatest reliance now is not Chongshan Town, but the network of contacts that the Yang family has accumulated over the years.

Yang Mingzhao thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll help you take over Bashu and keep an eye on Anxi Town and Wusi Town! This can be considered as my support for you, little uncle!"

"Haha, nephew toasts to uncle!"

Yang Chengye replaced wine with tea and said respectfully.

In the following days, Yang Chengye began to visit each family on the island. He first visited Jiang He. The first person he dragged into the water was his cousin Jiang Feng, then Liang Qingan and Lin Yaozong, and then Wang Mingzhe's son Wang Chengxue.

Among the four, Jiang Feng is the oldest, twenty-six years old this year. Liang Qing'an, Lin Yaozong and Wang Chengxue are about the same age, all in their early twenties.

Then he visited each family one by one and found a young talent in each one.

In just a few days, he had nearly twenty young talents around him.

Although these people are very young, they are all talents selected by their respective companies.

The news that Yang Chengye wanted to dominate the world in Dayong had spread, and the heads of various families on Shenmu Island had actually received the news.

Compared to Yang Chengyou's establishment of the Dajing Dynasty, they were much more enthusiastic about Yang Chengye's establishment of a new dynasty in Dayong. They couldn't say that they supported it with all their strength, but they did support it as much as possible.
