Chapter 325 If you get angry with me again, I will castrate you!
Yangjiacun.

Yangjia Village at this time has undergone tremendous changes compared to what it was ten years ago.

The originally dilapidated houses have now all been turned into blue brick and tile houses, and the originally muddy roads have now all been turned into bluestone slabs. The originally small village has expanded several times.

The development of the Yang family has been rapid in recent years. In the second year after Yang Zhengshan left Yangjia Village, the Yang family built a clan school. In the past few years, the clan school has been continuously expanded, from the initial few earthen houses to now a college covering an area of ​​more than ten acres.

The clan school is not only a place for studying, but also a place for practicing martial arts.

Nowadays, all the children of the Yang family have to study and practice martial arts, and it is compulsory. Regardless of gender, they have to enter the clan school at the age of five to learn martial arts.

This was the rule set by Yang Zhengshan before.

At this time, it was time to go home from school. Little kids came out from the stone gate. Most of them were children between six and ten years old. As for the older teenagers, they would go home from school later.

Yang Zhengxiang stood in front of the gatehouse with his hands behind his back, stroking his gray beard and looking at the laughing children, his face full of a kind smile.

"Grandpa Patriarch!"

"Ancestor!"

Many children greeted him and he responded with a smile.

After the children had left, he walked slowly towards his home with his hands behind his back.

His favorite thing to do now is to hang out in the clan school, especially watching the children playing, which fills his heart with satisfaction.

Yang Zhengxiang's home is still in the center of the village, but now their house has become a large courtyard with three entrances, no longer the small farmyard it used to be.

Of course, not every household in Yangjia Village lives in a large courtyard. In fact, most of the houses are still small courtyards with their own doors, but they have been replaced by brick and tile houses from the original adobe houses.

There are only two large courtyards in Yangjia Village, one belongs to Yang Zhengxiang and the other belongs to Yang Zhengshan.

Don’t say it’s unfair. Yang Zhengxiang is the patriarch, so he should live in a big house. As for Yang Zhengshan’s family, even though they are not at home, someone still cleans their yard every day.

These houses were actually built by the entire clan, and the money was paid from the clan’s assets.

Today, the Yang family has a lot of assets. They have more than 30,000 acres of land alone, and there are hundreds of tenants relying on the Yang family, not to mention that the Yang family also has many shops.

The annual income from the clan property alone is several thousand taels of silver, so it is very easy to build a yard for all the villagers.

When Yang Zhengxiang returned home, he happened to meet Yang Minghui.

"Dad, there's a letter from Uncle Zhengshan!"

"The letter!" Yang Zhengxiang walked into the yard with his hands behind his back.

"Here!" Yang Minghui quickly handed him the letter.

Yang Zhengxiang found a bright place and read the contents of the letter carefully.

In recent years, Yang Zhengshan's letters have not been as frequent as before, and he only writes once every three or four months.

The reason for this is, firstly, that the affairs of the clan are on the right track and everything that needs to be settled has been settled, so Yang Zhengxiang no longer needs to write to him frequently to discuss things; secondly, because Yang Zhengshan is sometimes busy and does not have the time to write letters frequently.

As for the Yang family, Yang Zhengshan naturally could not just send an invitation. He wrote a letter, giving a general account of Tenglongwei's situation and future plans, and asked the family to see if there were any businessmen who could develop in Tenglongwei, or if the family could also purchase some family property in Tenglongwei.

After reading the letter, Yang Zhengxiang frowned and said softly, "Sea trade?"

"Do you know about maritime trade?" he asked Yang Minghui next to him.

Yang Minghui shook his head. “I heard that there are many merchants in Liaoan Prefecture who have sea vessels, but they know nothing about maritime trade.”

At this time, the shortcomings of the Yang family were highlighted. Although the Yang family had developed very well in recent years, its foundation was still too shallow, and the older generation knew little about the external situation.

They had heard of sea ships, but they didn't even know what they looked like, let alone sea trade.

"Forget it. It's right to listen to your uncle Zhengshan. Go ask those businessmen in the clan if they are willing to develop in Tenglongwei."

Yang Zhengxiang has an advantage, that is, whenever he cannot figure out something, he listens to Yang Zhengshan.

Since Yang Zhengshan wrote to inquire about this matter, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

"Then you can take them to Tenglongwei in person." Yang Zhengxiang paused and said, "Forget it, just take me with you when the time comes!"

"Dad, you are going too?" Yang Minghui said in surprise.

"Well, I haven't seen your Uncle Zhengshan for several years! If I don't go to see him now, I'm afraid I will never see him again in this life!" Yang Zhengxiang said with some melancholy.

He is now sixty-five years old. If he were in the old Yangjia Village, he would be considered a long-lived man, but now he is still in good health.

It was precisely because he was still in good health that he wanted to go and see Yang Zhengshan. If a few more years passed, he was afraid that he would not be able to go out.

"Okay, I'll take you there then!" Yang Minghui agreed.

"Well, pick a few talented guys and take them with you!"

"Your Uncle Zhengshan hasn't selected people from the clan in recent years. This time I will go there in person and ask him to train a few more talents for the clan!" Yang Zhengxiang said with a smile.

In fact, there are still quite a few Yang family members around Yang Zhengshan. The dozen or so Yang family members who had joined Yang Zhengshan with Yang Mingzhen are now all under Yang Zhengshan's command.

It’s just because Yang Zhengshan now has so many talented people under his command, and it’s not easy for the Yang family’s children to stand out. Only Yang Mingzhen stands out.

As for why Yang Zhengshan no longer selected people from within the clan, it was mainly because there were relatively few talented candidates among the Yang family's descendants.

Those Yang family members who had followed Yang Zhengshan to resist the Hu tribe have now grown up. Without the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, the other Yang family members have much less talent and potential.

So Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to make trouble within the clan.

"Then I pick ten?" Yang Minghui asked.

"Twenty! Uncle Zhengshan is very busy with official duties now, so he probably doesn't have the energy to take care of the clan, but he still has to take care of my old face."

"You only have one chance. You won't have another chance next time. Choose more!"

Yang Zhengxiang said.

"But there are not so many warriors in the clan school!" Yang Mingcheng said with some embarrassment.

Now, the young men in the clan school can gather ten warriors at most, which is actually quite a lot. If it were somewhere else, it would probably be difficult to gather so many, and only the Yang family can do it.

Although Yang Zhengshan did not deliberately send spiritual spring water to Yangjia Village, he also gave Yang Zhengxiang Baicao Niang and Donglingchun. Yang Zhengxiang was not a stingy person, so the people of Yangjia Village could benefit from it to some extent.

"It doesn't matter if you are not a warrior. Send it to your uncle Zhengshan for training for a year or two, and you will definitely become a warrior!" Yang Zhengxiang said.

Yang Minghui thought so and said, "Then I will go and pick someone now."

Not to mention how Yang Minghui selected people, after Yang Zhengshan sent out all the invitations, he actually had some free time.

After being busy for half a year, he finally found some free time.

Now that he has some free time, Yang Zhengshan naturally wants to spend more time with his family.

Little Mingzhao can already walk, and walks very fast. Yang Zhengshan takes him for a walk in the yard every day.

After the little guy learned to walk, he no longer liked being held. He ran around everywhere with his two short legs.

"Dad, Dad, eat meat!"

Next to the stable, the little guy pointed at Hongyun and shouted.

White mist was blowing out of Hongyun's nostrils, and his big eyes stared at the little guy fiercely, as if saying, "You little thing actually wants to eat me!"

"This is Hongyun, your father's friend, you can't eat him!"

Yang Zhengshan said speechlessly. At the same time, he took out a large fresh peach and fed it to Hongyun. "The child is ignorant. Don't bother with him!"

Hongyun raised his head generously, swallowed the big peach in one gulp, and no longer paid any attention to the little guy Mingzhao.

However, Xiao Mingzhao noticed the peach that Yang Zhengshan had just fed Hongyun and shouted again, "Eat the fruit!"

The corner of Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly. How come this kid only knows how to eat? Will he become a fat man in the future?
"Dad, eat fruit!" Seeing that Yang Zhengshan ignored him, little Mingzhao hugged Yang Zhengshan's legs and continued to shout.

"Okay, okay, eat fruit!" Yang Zhengshan could only take out another date and hand it to him.

Then I watched him holding the jujube and chewing it like a little hamster.

"Daddy will hold you!" Yang Zhengshan squatted down.

"No!" The little guy shook his head while chewing on a date.

Yang Zhengshan was helpless. Now that the kid's mouth and legs were flexible, he didn't like being held by anyone, even his father.

He looked at Ming Zhao, stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

He felt that Mingzhao was developing faster than other children. Now Mingzhao was only fourteen months old, but he could speak and walk very fluently and could even run.

He remembered that other children in the Yang family were about two years old before they could achieve what Mingzhao did.

"Is my son a genius?" Yang Zhengshan thought seriously.

Ming Zhao had been drinking spiritual spring water since he was young, so it was natural for him to become a genius.

What's more, his father and mother have been nourished by spiritual spring water for a long time. Their seeds and mothers are stronger than others. It is normal for little Mingzhao to be more talented than others.

Just after Xiao Mingzhao finished eating the jujube, another little kid came running over from a distance.

"Grandpa, Grandpa~~"

Even from a distance, the little kid started shouting.

"Chengyou, come here and let grandpa hug you!" Yang Zhengshan said with a kind smile.

This little kid is Yang Minghao’s eldest son Yang Chengyou, who is only three months older than Yang Mingzhao.

Yang Zhengshan held Chengyou in his arms. Xiao Mingzhao raised his head and looked at Chengyou, shouting, "I am your uncle! You have to call me uncle!"

"Little uncle!" Chengyou called out honestly.

"Dad, put him down, I want to take him out to play!" Xiao Mingzhao continued.

Yang Zhengshan was so angry at being ordered around by his own son that he had no choice but to put Chengyou on the ground.

What followed was the cheerful chattering of the two little ones. They could speak fluently now, but sometimes they still spoke in baby talk, squeaking and no one could tell what they were shouting.

Yang Zhengshan ignored them and went into the stable to brush Hongyun's fur.

There were many maids and old women watching around, so he didn't need to keep an eye on her all the time.

Hehehe~~
Hongyun shook his head and shouted.

"Okay, I'll take you out tomorrow. Just stay here honestly today!"

Hehehe~~
Hongyun called out to two children playing in the distance.

"Why are you still holding a grudge? Ming Zhao is still young and doesn't understand!"

"Xilulu~~" Hongyun shook his mane, splashing water all over Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan was speechless. This guy was actually angry with him and didn't even let him brush his fur.

"Ahem, the horse farm outside the city recently bought a batch of mares. I'll take you to see them tomorrow!"

The horse farm in Tenglongwei has been built, and they are buying horses everywhere recently. They just bought a batch of mares two days ago.

Hehehe~~
Hongyun shook his big head and rubbed it against Yang Zhengshan.

"..."

The corner of Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly, "You pervert!"

Other time travelers are studs, but I, a time traveler, actually have a stud!
"Why not castrate you? Without the source of trouble, your temper should be better!" Yang Zhengshan said as he looked at Hongyun's crotch.

The next moment, a black hoof kicked towards him. He dodged and reached out to grab the huge hoof.

"If you get angry with me again, I'll castrate you!"

Chirp~~
Hongyun begged for mercy, and Yang Zhengshan put its hoof down, "Humph, you little brat, you want to fight me? Have you forgotten who is your master?"
