Chapter 284 Hongyun has many wives

"Since you have plans, I will first learn about the situation of Liaodong Salt Industry!"

Luo Shang said with a very serious expression.

The interests involved in the official salt trade are not comparable to those of ordinary industries.

This is different from the businesses that the Luo family had done before. Currently, the Luo family is involved in many businesses, including cloth shops, embroidery workshops, gold and silver jewelry, grain stores, blacksmith shops, carpentry shops, escort agencies, etc. Although the Luo family is involved in many businesses, these businesses are all regular businesses.

The salt industry is a completely different industry. If you get involved in the salt industry, you may lose your life and property.

Of course, the profits brought by the salt industry are unmatched by others. If the Luo family can really gain a foothold in the Liaodong salt industry, the Luo family's wealth and status will be improved by several levels.

The risk is worth taking.

"No rush, no rush. Salt industry and maritime trade, these two are just my ideas. If things go well, I will try to get involved in the salt industry next summer. As for maritime trade, I may have to wait until the second half of next year, or even the year after!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The Yang family has many industries, but they are mainly real estate and land, in addition to that there is a horse farm.

But the horse farm cannot do without him, the profits will be greatly reduced.

But now Tenglongwei is not suitable for building a large horse farm, so Yang Zhengshan set his sights on the salt industry and maritime trade.

There is no need to say much about the salt industry. Once it is started, it will definitely be a profitable business.

Maritime trade involves more of Yang Zhengshan's thoughts. This world is also very vast. He wants to make money through maritime trade, and also wants to understand the world outside Dayong through maritime trade.

……

Luo Shang stayed in Weicheng for three days. During these three days, Yang Zhengshan had detailed discussions with him several times, ranging from the Luo family's current business, to next year's salt industry, and to the future development of Tenglongwei.

Yang Zhengshan put forward many ideas, and Luo Shang also gave Yang Zhengshan many suggestions.

Today's Luo Shang is no longer the small businessman he used to be. He has traveled a lot over the years and has gained a lot of knowledge. In many things, his insights surpass Yang Zhengshan's, so many of the suggestions he gave to Yang Zhengshan were very pertinent.

Yang Zhengshan is not a dictatorial person. He is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

The advantage is that he has the memory of his past life and has received a lot of complicated information in the era of information explosion. This allows him to have different insights and advanced vision on many things than most people in this world.

His shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he has high expectations but poor skills. He only has a general understanding of many things. He can talk about them very well, but he is helpless when asked to do something.

Different worlds have different rules, different environments have different changes, and different societies have many invisible and intangible shackles.

There are many things that you cannot do well just because you think they are good.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan never minds others giving him suggestions, and he even likes to listen to others' suggestions very much.

After Luo Shang left, Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi and Lu Wenhua also set off to return to Anning County.

The New Year is approaching, and it’s time to send out the New Year gifts.

The importance of New Year gifts is not how expensive they are, but the importance of reciprocity.

Over the years, Yang Zhengshan has always attached great importance to giving New Year gifts and personally reviews the gifts given out every year.

As the Yang family grew richer, giving New Year gifts became more and more routine.

There are rules for how much to send to whom, the value of the gifts, when to send them, and who to send them.

For example, when he was in Yinghe Fort, Yang Zhengshan would send New Year gifts to the manager of the Lu family's grain shop. Now the Yang family still sends a New Year gift to the manager Lu every year, but they just let the servants deliver a simple New Year gift.

Manager Lu would also give the Yang family a New Year gift every year to prove his personal friendship with the Yang family.

As for the Lu family, they have a good relationship and every year Yang Mingcheng would send gifts over when he returns to Anning County.

As for the Liu Mansion far away in Kyoto, due to the long journey, Yang Zhengshan only arranged for a servant with some weight to deliver the New Year gifts.

But this year is different. This year the Yang family has a relative in Kyoto, namely the Changping Marquis Mansion.

In the first year after Yunxue’s marriage, the gift had to be grand to give Yunxue face.

In the main hall of the courtyard, Yang Zhengshan looked at the gift list prepared by Wang.

The plump Wang stood beside him and said with a simple smile, "Dad, my daughter-in-law bought two white fox furs some time ago. She originally wanted to give them to Dad and Mom, but Mom thought white fox furs were too luxurious, so she added them to this gift list!"

White fox fur is a precious fur that is hard to come by. A complete white fox fur can be worth hundreds of taels of silver. The key is that you may not be able to buy it even if you want to. You have to rely on luck.

Now Wang was wealthy enough to spend hundreds of taels of silver at will, and she did not think the white fox fur was expensive.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yu Qingyi next to him and asked, "You don't like it?"

Yu Qingyi held little Mingzhao in her arms and said, "That thing is too bright, how can I use it at my age?"

The snow-white fox fur looks nice, but it's not suitable for her age.

Yang Zhengshan also understood this and didn't say much.

If it were him, he naturally wouldn't care about these things, but Yu Qingyi was different. Yu Qingyi was a person of this world, and his thoughts and ideas were subtly influenced by the customs and habits of this world.

Looking at the gift list, Yang Zhengshan felt that Wang had prepared everything very well. Everything that was needed was included and everything that could be given was given.

But as an old father, Yang Zhengshan still feels that it is not enough.

"Add another fifty jars of Baicao Wine. Oh, and add the Xinyang Maojian and Yunjin that Shopkeeper Luo brought a few days ago!" "And is Yunxue's horse still at home? It's a good opportunity to send it over, and pick out two good horses for the Marquis and the son-in-law!"

The children of the Yang family all have their own horses, and each of them is a carefully bred good horse. Although Yang Zhengshan cannot move the horse farm from Anyuan City here, it is no problem for him to bring dozens of more horses here.

So now the Yang family has a special yard for raising horses.

"Oh, right, that little red colt..."

"Master! Didn't you say to leave the horse to Chengye?" Yu Qingyi next to him couldn't help but interrupt Yang Zhengshan.

The others are fine, but that little red colt is no ordinary good horse.

Little Red Horse, this name sounds very ordinary, but in fact its meaning is not ordinary at all, because its red color comes from red clouds.

Hongyun is undoubtedly the most powerful warhorse among all the Yang family's warhorses.

Since the Yang family raises horses, it is natural that they have to breed the mares. Hongyun is the best horse in the Yang family, so it is naturally indispensable for breeding.

Well, Hongyun has many wives, and he has slept with even more mares.

Hongyun's seeds are indeed good. All of its descendants can grow into top-quality horses even without the nourishment of spiritual spring water.

However, if you ask which is the best foal among Hongyun's offspring, it must be Little Red.

The chestnut hair, fiery red mane, strong physique and smart eyes all prove that the little red colt inherited the best genes from Hongyun.

Yang Zhengshan also liked the little red colt very much and often fed it himself.

Since he feeds the baby himself, it is naturally a special meal for him.

So even though the little red colt is only one year old now, it looks much taller than other foals of the same age.

Interrupted by Yu Qingyi, Yang Zhengshan touched his nose awkwardly.

Well, I was just thinking about my youngest daughter and forgot about my eldest grandson.

The key point is that Wang is still standing here, which is somewhat embarrassing.

"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my memory. Little Red Pony is the successor."

Yang Zhengshan looked up at Wang, who was still smiling, as if she didn't care at all about the little red colt's fate.

In fact, Wang really didn't care about the horse. In her opinion, it was just a horse. The Yang family had so many horses, so they didn't need that batch.

As for fighting, that is even more unnecessary. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and her son is the eldest grandson of the Yang family. What is there for her to fight for?

As long as she doesn't make any mistakes and as long as her son has a bright future, she has nothing to worry about.

I have to say that Wang's vision is quite insightful.

Perhaps it was because of her insight that she had been recognized by everyone in the Yang family over the years.

Both the two sisters-in-law, Li and Liang, and the two younger sisters-in-law, Yunyan and Yunxue, all respected her as the eldest sister-in-law.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi also highly recognized this eldest daughter-in-law. Although Yu Qingyi was the mistress of the Yang family, many matters at home were taken care of by Wang.

Especially after Yu Qingyi became pregnant, all the management power of the Yang family's backyard was handed over to Wang.

And now, Yu Qingyi has no intention of taking back the housekeeper's power.

With a capable eldest daughter-in-law, she, as the mother-in-law, can have some free time and spend more time with her son.

"Let's do this for now. You get ready and let Minghao set off for Kyoto tomorrow!" Yang Zhengshan ordered.

"Okay, Dad, I'll arrange it right away!" Wang responded with a smile.

After Wang left, when Yang Zhengshan was teasing little Mingzhao, Wu Hai stood outside the door and said, "Master, there are guests visiting!"

Yang Zhengshan could only return the little Mingzhao he had just held in his arms to Yu Qingyi, walked out of the main room, and asked, "Who's here?"

The end of the year is approaching, and there must be a lot of guests visiting during this period, so Yang Zhengshan was not surprised.

"Master, this is a visiting card!"

Yang Zhengshan opened the visiting card and walked towards the front yard.

When he saw the name on the visiting card, he paused slightly.

Luo Jinsong, the leader of Yuhengxing Hall!
Yang Zhengshan was very surprised.

What is this person here for?
He thought about it and continued walking towards the front yard, and soon he arrived at the main hall of the front yard.

At this time, Luo Jinsong was sitting in the hall, and Wu Hai had arranged for servants to serve tea.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming in, Luo Jinsong quickly stood up and said, "I, Luo Jinsong, greet General Yang!"

Yang Zhengshan's expression changed slightly. He called himself a commoner and said he was not here to seek revenge or seek justice.

But it's true, no matter how arrogant the Seven Stars Hall is, they shouldn't dare to run to the government office and do whatever they want, otherwise the court will definitely not tolerate them.
