Chapter 258 I have a child!
"Haha, Ma San, no need to be polite!" Yang Zhengshan jumped off Hongyun's back and looked at the herd of horses in the distance with a smile.

It is quite spectacular to see hundreds of horses galloping together, and of course what is even more spectacular is that these horses can be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"How is everything going at the ranch lately?"

Yang Zhengshan asked as he walked towards the horse farm building.

"Okay, everything is good!" said Ma San.

Now he is in charge of thousands of horses, how could it be bad?
Thinking of those strong horses, Ma San would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Walking into the stable, Yang Zhengshan saw many foals. Most of these foals were their trophies, and a small number were bred by the farm itself.

Yang Zhengshan asked for a long time about the horse farm, and Ma San answered him one by one.

When he understood almost everything, Ma San couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what should we do with those cattle and sheep?"

The stable suddenly received three hundred war horses and five hundred foals. The stable was already unable to accommodate them, not to mention the two hundred cows and five hundred sheep.

If so many cattle and sheep are not dealt with quickly, the fodder stored in the farm will probably be eaten up by them soon.

"It's not difficult, Mingcheng. When you go back, find Luo Zhen and ask him to sell these cattle and sheep!"

Cattle and sheep are scarce commodities and their prices are not cheap for ordinary people.

So many cattle and sheep can be exchanged for a lot of silver.

Yang Zhengshan didn't want to raise cattle and sheep, so he had to sell them.

"Okay, I'll go to Luo Zhen tomorrow!" Yang Mingcheng quickly agreed.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the war horses outside again and asked, "What is the price of Chongshan Pass war horses now?"

Ma San replied: "It's down 30% from last year!"

Yang Zhengshan was not surprised.

The price of war horses was at a normal level last year, but at the end of the year and the beginning of this year, the price of war horses soared, increasing by almost 50%.

Now that the war is over, the price of war horses will naturally fall. Moreover, Chongshan Town won a great victory this time and seized a large number of war horses from the Hu people in the East China Sea. It is normal for the price of war horses to fall sharply.

However, Dayong has always been in great shortage of war horses. The price of war horses in Chongshan Town has dropped this time, but the price of war horses in other border towns of Dayong will definitely not drop.

Yang Zhengshan estimated that it would not be long before the price of war horses in Chongshan Town would return to normal, but it would be difficult for the Yang Family Horse Farm to wait until that time.

More than 500 foals would be fine, but the current scale of the horse farm cannot support more than 300 adult war horses.

Moreover, September is coming soon, and Chongshan Town will enter winter in two months. Before winter, the horse farm has to prepare fodder for the winter.

"Ask Luo Zhen and see if they can get rid of these war horses?" Yang Zhengshan said.

There must be a lot of horse dealers in Chongshan Pass now, but those horse dealers all want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Yang Zhengshan naturally doesn't want to let the horse dealers get a bargain, so he wants to see if the Luo family's channels can transport these war horses out of Chongshan Town and sell them.

You don't have to sell it in border towns, you can also get a good price by selling it in other prosperous cities.

After staying in the horse farm for a day, Yang Zhengshan took the opportunity to leave a lot of spiritual spring water in the farm.

By the time they returned to Anyuan City, it was already dusk.

"Master, this is a letter from Lord Wang!"

As soon as he returned to Yang's house, Wu Hai handed a letter to Yang Zhengshan.

"Lord Wang, Wang Sheng?"

Yang Zhengshan opened the letter and started reading as he walked towards the main courtyard.

The letter was written by Wang Sheng, and its content was about the reward for Wang Bin.

Wang Bin was promoted to the position of deputy governor of the Front Army Governor's Office, and was appointed as the deputy general of Beiyuan Town, in charge of the third vanguard battalion of Beiyuan Town.

Beiyuan Town is different from Chongshan Town. The town flag camp of Beiyuan Town has nine battalions, divided into three vanguard battalions, three central battalions, and three rear battalions.

The three battalions of the rear army were commanded by the governor of Beiyuan Town, the three battalions of the central army were commanded by the general, and the three battalions of the vanguard were commanded by a deputy general.

In addition, Beiyuan Town has three deputy generals, eight lieutenant generals, and the town’s standard battalion and reinforcement battalion have a total of nearly 100,000 troops.

The reason why Beiyuan Town is much stronger than Chongshan Town is because of the strength of the Wulianghu tribe.

It was considered a blessing for Wang Bin to be promoted to Beiyuan Town.

The deputy general of Beiyuan Town is much stronger than the deputy generals of other border towns. He has more soldiers under his command, holds great power, and has more opportunities to gain military merits.

Yang Zhengshan also wanted to go to Beiyuan Town. Now that the Hu tribe in the East China Sea has been destroyed, he would have few opportunities to gain military merits if he stayed in Chongshan Town. Without military merits, he would not be able to be promoted quickly.

After reading Wang Sheng's letter, Yang Zhengshan thought about it and turned to go to the study in the front yard.

Wang Sheng also mentioned one thing in the letter, which was Luo Feiyu's arrangement.

Yang Zhengshan asked Wang Bin to take care of Luo Feiyu. Now that Wang Bin is leaving, he naturally has to ask Yang Zhengshan about Luo Feiyu's arrangements.

In this regard, Yang Zhengshan thought that Luo Feiyu should stay first and make arrangements after his own official position was confirmed.

He wanted Luo Feiyu to follow him for a while. After all, Luo Feiyu was Yu Qingyi's junior fellow apprentice and also his brother-in-law. He still wanted to take care of Luo Feiyu and also wanted to find an opportunity to improve Luo Feiyu's cultivation and potential.

After writing the letter, Yang Zhengshan handed it to Wu Hai and asked him to arrange someone to deliver it to Jiacheng tomorrow.

……

As September approached, the Yang family became increasingly busy.

First, Yu Qingyi was about to give birth, and the maids and servants in the main courtyard were already preparing. The best midwives and doctors in Anyuan City were invited to the Yang family to take charge, and it was Yang Zhengshan who invited them personally. Although Yu Qingyi's physique should not have any problems with childbirth, Yang Zhengshan was still afraid of the possibility.

A midwife is a must, and having the doctor at home can at least give some psychological comfort, as it is always better to be prepared.

The second thing is that Yunxue is about to get married. Last year, the Yang family and the Marquis' Mansion set the wedding date, which is October 8 this year.

Liang Chu also wrote a letter to Yang Zhengshan, saying that they would get married in Chongshan Pass before returning to Beijing, so the wedding date did not change and was still October 8th.

There is still a month until the wedding, so we need to prepare what needs to be prepared.

Finally, it is the autumn harvest. The autumn harvest has already begun, and the officials and servants of the garrison office are all busy with it. Yang Zhengshan also focuses his energy on this.

Although there is an autumn harvest every year, and after Yang Zhengshan took over as the garrison, the autumn harvest is completed smoothly every year, but Yang Zhengshan still dares not slack off when it comes to the autumn harvest.

In addition to the autumn harvest in the military garrisons, the Yang family's farms also have to have an autumn harvest. Now the Yang family has six or seven farms, with as much as ten thousand acres of land and more than three hundred tenants and servants.

With so many farms ready for autumn harvest, the Yang family naturally had to arrange people to keep an eye on them.

Early in the morning on September 5th, Yang Zhengshan came to the government office as usual, but as soon as he sat down in the study, Wu Hai came running over in a hurry.

"Master, master, my wife is giving birth!"

Yang Zhengshan, who hadn't even sat down yet, stood up suddenly and ran towards the backyard without saying anything.

The clerks and runners in the government office were all surprised when they saw this scene. Normally, Yang Zhengshan was calm and composed, and this was the first time they saw him so careless about his manners.

"What's going on?" asked someone who didn't know the truth.

"I do not know!"

"Is there something wrong at home?"

"Your family has always been peaceful, what could possibly happen?"

The clerks and runners gathered together to discuss the matter.

At this time, Zhou Ren came out of his study and scolded, "How dare you talk about the right and wrong of the adults behind their backs? You don't want to live anymore!"

"Just do what you need to do, don't keep mumbling here!"

When the clerks saw Zhou Ren, they scattered like birds and beasts and went back to work with their heads down.

Although Zhou Ren is still just a clerk without rank, his prestige in the government office has increased a lot in recent years. Especially after returning from the battlefield, his aura has increased a lot and his prestige has become even higher.

On the battlefield, Zhou Ren was not a soldier who did not need to charge into battle, but he also followed the garrison battalion all the way, and he even killed people with his own hands.

This alone was enough to intimidate the clerks and runners in the government office.

Seeing everyone disperse, Zhou Ren looked towards the backyard of the government office. Others might not know what was going on, but he could guess it.

It was no secret that Yu Qingyi was about to give birth. He spent a lot of time with Yang Zhengshan, so he naturally heard about it.

When Yang Zhengshan returned to the main courtyard, the maids and old women in the main courtyard were already busy. Granny Song and the midwife had already entered the delivery room. Wang had also rushed over and was directing the servants to boil water.

"father!"

Li and Liang followed Yang Zhengshan.

"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan had calmed down by now. He walked to the main room and sat down, waiting calmly.

He couldn't get involved or help with this kind of thing, so he could only wait quietly.

Anyway, everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared, so he wasn't really that worried, just a little anxious.

"Dad, Mom will be fine!" Yunxue and Yunqiao also came over.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, appearing very calm, but Yun Xue still noticed that his eyes were always drifting towards the delivery room.

In the delivery room, Yu Qingyi looked very relaxed. She did not scream or shout in pain like other women in labor. However, there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

About half an hour later, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan finally lost his composure and stood up quickly.

I have a kid!
He strode towards the woman in labor.

The crying sound is very loud. Well, this baby has a really loud voice.

Seeing that he was about to enter the delivery room, Nanny Lin quickly stopped him and said, "Master, the midwife is still helping Madam clean up, so you should wait a while before going in!"

Yang Zhengshan stopped. Men were not allowed to enter the delivery room at will. It was considered unlucky. Yang Zhengshan naturally would not care about it, but Yu Qingyi would care about it.

"How is the lady?"

Nanny Lin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master. Madam is fine!"

At this time, Nanny Song came out holding the child.

"Congratulations, sir, it's a little boy!" said Nanny Song with a smile on her face.

boy!

Yang Zhengshan smiled happily. He also wanted a boy because women had too many restrictions at this time. He hoped that his child would be more free in the future.

If it were really in his previous life, he might have liked his daughter more.
