Chapter 75: Changes in the Yang Family
In addition, Yang Zhengxiang also mentioned a piece of good news. The Yang family has produced three new warriors, all of whom were young and strong people who had trained with Yang Zhengshan.
These young men had all drunk the spiritual spring water before. Although it was only diluted spiritual spring water, they drank it for more than a month. It was not surprising that some of them could become warriors.
Yang Zhengshan counted and found that six of the ten young men who followed him had become warriors. Together with Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi, Yang Mingwu, and himself, there were ten warriors in total.
This means that there are now fourteen warriors in the Yang family.
In just one year, more than ten warriors emerged from the Yang family. Yang Zhengxiang must have been overjoyed.
But this also proves the importance of resources from the side.
Lingquan water is not a miraculous existence. Its greatest effect is to enhance physical fitness and improve potential.
In comparison, there are many precious medicines in this world that are more effective than spiritual spring water. The resources possessed by those large clans that have been passed down for hundreds of years are definitely not comparable to those of spiritual spring water.
Of course, Lingquan Water also has its merits. It has the effect of enhancing potential. If you drink it for a long time, even a loser can become a talented warrior.
This is the most amazing thing about the spiritual spring water.
Now that the Yang family has so many warriors, it is considered a big family in Anning County. Although it is not as big as the Lu family, it cannot be underestimated in Anning County.
The magistrate of Bu Ning County, Luo Jin, has already been trying to win over the Yang family.
In his letter, Yang Zhengxiang said that Luo Jin intended to let Yang Mingcheng take the position of inspector.
Inspector is a ninth-rank official.
At first, Yang Zhengshan wanted to get a position as an inspector, but he had to give up because of his lack of strength and background.
Now Luo Jin took the initiative to make arrangements for Yang Mingcheng. This was done out of respect for Yang Zhengshan and also because of the rising potential of the Yang family.
After reading the letter, Yang Zhengshan thought for a while, then took out a pen and paper and started writing.
As for Yang Mingcheng being offered the position of inspector, Yang Zhengshan thought it would be better to refuse.
He has his own plans for Yang Mingcheng.
Yang Mingcheng is his eldest son. In this feudal society, the eldest son has natural advantages and significance.
Although Yang Mingcheng's character is too honest, Yang Zhengshan still values this eldest son very much.
Therefore, he would not let Yang Mingcheng stay in Anning County forever. Once his side developed, he would definitely bring Yang Mingcheng over.
As for the position of inspector, since Luo Jin was willing to arrange it, Yang Zhengshan naturally would not refuse.
He wanted Yang Zhengxiang's eldest son Yang Minghui to do it.
Yang Minghui is already a warrior and is qualified to serve as an inspector. Moreover, Yang Zhengxiang is already old. The Yang family needs a young patriarch in the future. Yang Minghui is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
In addition to these, Yang Zhengshan also talked about the situation in Chongshan Town and outside the Great Wall, especially about the drought.
Anning County has also been affected by the drought. There has been less rain this year, but the impact is not that great.
Yang Zhengshan mainly wanted the Yang family to keep the grain harvested this year in case of emergency, or to take the opportunity to make some money.
Due to the drought, Chongshan Town’s military farm production will certainly decrease this year, and grain prices will surely rise after the spring next year.
He didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, he just wanted the Yang family to have more income.
If he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, he could just go buy some food.
He is not capable of doing such an immoral thing.
"Give this letter to the Lu family's caravan and ask them to take it back!"
After writing the letter, Yang Zhengshan sealed it and handed it to Yang Minghao.
After Yang Minghao left, Yang Zhengshan got up and returned to his bedroom, his mind immersed in the Lingquan space.
At this time, the vegetables in the Lingquan space have grown, and Yang Zhengshan is having a headache about how to deal with these vegetables.
take it out?
It doesn't seem good.
He couldn't find a suitable reason.
It’s not a good idea to unplug them all, it’s such a waste.
He has prepared the medicinal seeds. Next, he will plant medicinal herbs. He must not keep the vegetables. He has prepared many kinds of medicinal seeds. The quantity of each kind is small, but the advantage is variety.
He spent a lot of time and effort collecting these medicinal seeds.
And not only medicinal seeds, he also collected some books on growing medicinal herbs.
The first time he planted medicinal herbs, his purpose was not to make money, but to preserve seeds.
In the future, the Lingquan space will become larger and larger, and there will be more and more land available for planting. He can't always collect seeds from outside, so it would be better to be self-sufficient.
Looking at a field of lush vegetables, Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment and then started picking them.
It took him half an hour to pull all the vegetables clean. Then he harnessed the vegetables to an ox cart and drove away from Lingguan Fort alone.
Good vegetables must not be wasted, and many of them are watered with spiritual spring water. He really can't bear to waste them.
After strolling outside Lingguan Fort for an hour, Yang Zhengshan took out all the vegetables, put them on the ox cart, and then pulled them all back to Lingguan Fort.
Just assume that these vegetables were bought by him.
As for how to explain it.
"Dad, why did you buy so many vegetables?" Yang Mingzhi asked curiously when he saw him pulling back a cart of vegetables.
"Picked it up on the road!"
Explain shit.
I am your father, is there any need to explain to you?
As for the others, they would at most just be curious. Would they really come and ask him?
Yang Mingzhi blinked and looked at Yang Zhengshan. He always felt that his father had a secret, but his father didn't say it, so he didn't dare to ask more.
"Give these dishes to the kitchen and enjoy them later!"
Yang Zhengshan simply threw the ox cart to Yang Mingzhi and returned to the study in a leisurely manner.
In the Yang family, he is the head of the family, and in Linguan Fort, he is the boss.
Why should he explain to anyone?
Besides, he would only do it this time and would never do such a thing again. Even if someone found it strange, they would forget about it in a few days.
The vegetables produced in the Lingquan Space are delicious. Even if they are not watered with Lingquan water, they are still tastier than ordinary vegetables.
At noon, Yang Mingwu and his companions ate with great relish and even drank two extra bowls of rice.
……
Another two days passed, and more and more rumors spread inside the city.
And at this juncture, someone came from Kyoto.
It was not just a few people, nor dozens or hundreds of people who came, but five thousand elite cavalry.
There were a total of 5,000 elite cavalry, all of whom were wearing iron armor, and were even more elite than the cavalry in the Zhenbiao Zuoying.
When five thousand elite cavalry appeared at the foot of Chongshan Pass, the entire city fell silent.
Yang Zhengshan didn't know who the visitor was, but judging from the situation, Chongshan Town was bound to undergo a drastic change.
As he expected, there were a series of earthquakes in the officialdom of Guancheng in the following days.
First, Governor Sun Xincheng was dismissed from his post and was completely punished for corruption and malfeasance.
Speaking of which, the governor Sun Xincheng is like a transparent man in Chongshan Town. Logically speaking, he is the highest official in Chongshan Town, but he has always been very low-key and is often ignored.
But this time he was indeed the first senior official to be dismissed, which shows that he did a lot of things in secret.
The second person to be dealt with was Zhang Shouwang, but he was not dismissed from his post. Instead, he was transferred back to Kyoto.
The third person to be dealt with was Zhang Yude, who was also transferred back to Kyoto. Yang Zhengshan didn’t know the details. Even if he wanted to know, he had no channels.
