Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Chapter 594: Thirteen Years of Xingyue, Fruitful Results

Two years ago, Yang Ziheng was not the Minister of Works, and he was not involved in this matter.

But now that the river bank is broken, he, the Minister of Works, is inevitably implicated.

What made him even more depressed was that he had just sent someone to check the breached river bank. How could he say that those people did too ruthlessly, and they had no bottom line at all.

It would be fine if you cut corners, but you even fooled things!

Repairing the river bank now is like rebuilding it, and the money and food required are more than two years ago.

Before Emperor Yanping was punished, Li Zhijie, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out, "Your Majesty, the national treasury has no money or food available."

Is the national treasury really no money or food?

This is true!

Although the Imperial Commerce Department has provided a lot of money to the Ministry of Revenue in recent years, Darong has also spent many places in recent years, especially last year and this year.

Last year, the Wuliang Hu tribe invaded Beiyuan Town on a large scale, and the court allocated a lot of money and grain to Beiyuan Town. As a result, most of the money and grain were robbed by the Wuliang Hu tribe tribe tribe tribe.

After Wuliang's army retreated, Beiyuan Town was about to be rebuilt, and the court allocated a lot of money and grain. Now Beiyuan Town is a giant beast to swallow gold, which almost sucked the Ministry of Revenue.

In addition to Beiyuan Town, famines in the five southern provinces also need relief. Last month, the Ministry of Revenue pieced together and collected 500,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stones of grain and transported them to the south.

Now the Ministry of Revenue's treasury and granary are basically empty.

"Your Majesty, I impeach the Grand Secretary of the Dongge Jiang Wei to embezzle the project funds for the construction of the Ruhe River embankment!" Zhang Nanxing, deputy envoy of the Censorate, suddenly jumped out and said.

The cabinet assistant Jiang Wei is the former Minister of Works. He was the Ruhe River embankment he presided over two years ago!

"Your Majesty, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Jiang Wei, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, should be responsible for the first time! Former Governor of the River Control, Hong Fangjian, and Shen Yulou, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Works, should be responsible for the second time!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Before the matter was finished, a group of ministers popped up in the hall to attack Jiang Wei.

Seeing this, Liang Chu frowned and couldn't help but think of quitting the court.

The court is too chaotic now, and civil officials are about to be fooled.

It is true that Jiang Wei was the former Minister of Works. He also proposed to build the Ruhe River embankment, but the problem is that he did not go to Ruhe to build it himself. Everything was taken care of by Hong Fangjian, the governor of the river management.

Shen Yulou, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, was even more unfair. Like Yang Ziheng, he did not interfere in the construction of the river embankment, but he was dragged into the water now.

This is not a accountability, it is a criticism.

No matter whether it is right or wrong, he just wants to pull people off.

I don’t know when the civil servants in the court became like this.

What made Liang Chu even more uneasy was that Wu Xun was also fighting for power.

Zhou Mao is already at home to retire, and Duan Rui is also demoted because of the defeat in Beiyuan Town. Now the nobles group has no leader anymore and has become a mess of loose sand.

However, becoming a bunch of loose sand does not mean that these nobles are at peace. On the contrary, because the nobles have no leaders, these nobles have begun to join forces to keep warm again, fighting for their own power and interests.

The Changping Marquis' Mansion has never participated in power struggles, but Liang Chu is now the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office. Sometimes he will encounter uncontrollable things and will inevitably be involved.

According to the customs passed down by the Liang family, when the court was in a turmoil, the Changping Hou Mansion should step away from the court and act in a low-key manner. This is also the reason why the Changping Hou Mansion can be passed down to this day.

So Liang Chu really wanted to retreat.

In the end, the morning court did not discuss a single result. Many officials attacked each other. Although Emperor Yanping was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Wei, he was not punished in the end.

Because he still needs Jiang Wei to maintain the balance of the cabinet.

As for disaster relief and river embankment construction, no one paid attention to it in the end. After discussing for a long time, everyone actually forgot the theme of today's morning court, which is ridiculous.

After the morning court, Liang Chu sat in the study room after returning to the house and frowned and pondered for a long time. Until the sky was dim, he came to Xiaoci Hall in the backyard of the Changping Hou Mansion.

"Grandfather!" Liang Chu stood outside the door and called softly.

In the hall inside the door, there were old and young standing. The old man looked over fifties, lying casually on the bed of arhat, holding a book. The young man looked seventeen or eighteen years old, making tea for the old man.

The old man was Liang Chu's grandfather Liang Shengze, and the young man was Liang Chu's great-grandson Liang Qingyu.

"Grandfather!" Liang Qingyu saw Liang Chu coming and quickly got up.

Liang Shengze glanced at him, "Come in, what's wrong?"

Liang Chu entered the door, and Liang Qingyu quickly brewed tea for him.

"Grandfather, in the court..." Liang Chu briefly explained the situation in the court recently.

After hearing this, Liang Shengze said indifferently: "If you want to retreat, you can retreat. You can concentrate on your cultivation. You have eaten a jade dew spiritual peach and three three yellow plums. But as a result, there has not been a breakthrough yet. It is useless. of!"

Liang Chu was embarrassed, let’s just talk properly, why do you still dislike your grandson?

Speaking of which, Liang Chu should indeed be scolded. Emperor Chengping was seriously ill and the former crown prince was in charge of the country. Yang Zhengshan was rewarded with a jade dew spirit peach by the Jinyin Building. After the Jinyin Building was destroyed, the former crown prince gave the jade dew spirit to win over Liang Chu. Tao Gua was given to Liang Chu.

After eating the Yulu Ling Peach, it took Liang Chu several years to break through to the half-step innate.

Then, a royal sacrificial courtyard was established, and Liang Shengze could get one three yellow li a year. In order to make Liang Chu an innate warrior, Liang Shengze gave Liang Chu three three yellow li a row.

As a result, Liang Chu has not become a congenital warrior until now.

Seeing Liang Chu's embarrassing expression, Liang Shengze said angrily: "What? I shouldn't have said about you? If you don't concentrate on your cultivation, you will be surpassed by your granddaughter-in-law in a short time!"

Liang Churan, "The Yang family is talented, and the grandson is definitely not as good as that!"

Liang Chu's granddaughter-in-law is naturally Yang Yunxue. Now Yang Yunxue is in her early thirties and has reached the eighth level of acquired cultivation. Although she is still far from the innate realm, her progress is very fast.

"Then you resign and concentrate on your practice. You still have a great chance of reaching the innate realm!" Liang Shengze said.

"Yes, grandson remembers the teachings of grandfather!" What else could Liang Chu say? Just be obedient.

In this way, Liang Chu resigned and started practicing at home honestly.

There were still endless struggles in the court, but hundreds of miles of water land appeared on both sides of the Ru River.

But these have nothing to do with Yang Zhengshan.

In the spring of the ninth year of Yanping, Yang Mingcheng broke through to the innate realm and became the third innate warrior of the Yang family.

After the breakthrough, Yang Mingcheng immediately passed the title to Yang Chengye. Before the imperial edict of inheriting the title arrived in Chongshan Town, Yang Mingcheng took his family to Xingyue Island.

There are only a dozen servants left in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Kyoto.

Yang Zhengshan was also helpless about this. His son was so filial that he could not live without him as a cheap man for a day.

Xingyue Island, in the Yang family’s main hall.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Mingcheng, "You just dislike Kyoto so much?"

Yang Mingcheng smiled silly and said, "My son is not disgusted with Kyoto, but he is reluctant to part with his father and mother. His father is not in Kyoto, and his son always feels uneasy!"

The previous sentence should be false, and the latter sentence is the main reason why he hurried to Xingyue Island.

The court was in a mess, and he, the Marquis of Jing'an, was also uneasy. People often went to him to talk about some messy things, which made him very uncomfortable, so it was better to run away first.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly and looked at Wang again, "Why don't you stop him? He passes the title to Chengye, you are not Mrs. Hou!"

Wang laughed and said, "Just just have fun with my daughter-in-law. How can you be a Marquis’ wife be a daughter-in-law for your father and mother!"

Yes, it is rare for the eldest daughter-in-law to say such a melodious sentence.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, "Well, since you are here, then stay in. The yard next door is still empty, so you can go and stay in!"

In fact, he has been waiting for Yang Mingcheng to come to Xingyue Island. The three yards near this yard have always been empty, just for the three brothers Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao.

After Yang Mingcheng became a congenital warrior, Luo Jinsong also made a breakthrough in the winter of the ninth year of Yanping.

In the following years, the Yang family seemed to line up to break through.

In the summer of the 12th year of Yanping, Ding Qiu broke through to the innate realm and became an innate warrior.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Yanping, Wu Zhan broke through to the innate realm and became an innate warrior.

In the spring of the fifteenth year of Yanping, Wu Zheng made a breakthrough.

In the 16th year of Yanping, Yang Minghao and Yang Mingzhi made breakthroughs one after another, resigned and came to Xingyue Island.

Then Yu Tonghai, Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze, Yang Mingzhen, Yang Chengxu, Yang Chengche, and Yang Qinwu broke through one after another to become innate warriors.

Yang Zhengshan has been operating in this world for thirty years and finally has achieved fruitful results.

The twenty years of Yanping are the thirteenth year of the stars and moon.

June 3rd.

In the sea outside Xingyue Island, a small boat floats on the shimmering sea.

Yang Zhengshan was sitting on the boat, wearing a hat and fishing with a purple bamboo pole.

Next to him was a child of seven or eight years old, lying in the cabin, looking desperate.

"Grandpa, I want to pee!"

"Just just pee on the boat!" Yang Zhengshan said motionlessly.

The child pouted and stood on the bow of the boat and peed into the sea.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He peed and looked at Yang Zhengshan who was motionless. Suddenly his eyes turned, and then his small body fell into the sea.

"Ah, grandpa, help me!"

He shouted in panic, but before he could finish his words, the man was already floating on the sea.

He did not fall into the water, as if he fell into a ball of soft cotton, floating lightly in the air.

"Boy, you are too young to be fooled with your grandfather!" Yang Zhengshan said unmoved.

The child climbed onto the boat with a giggle, "I knew my grandfather would save me!"

Yang Zhengshan ignored him.

He ran to Yang Zhengshan and hugged Yang Zhengshan's shoulder, "Grandpa, let's go home, it's too hot here!"

"No!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Go back, grandson promises that he will never bully Shi'er again!" said the child flattered.

The child in front of me is Yang Mingzhao's son Yang Cheng'an, who is Yang Zhengshan's grandson. This is a relative, not a cheap one.

The Shier he mentioned was Yang Chengyou's daughter Yang Ruoshi.

Yang Zhengshan finally moved and looked at him, "Why are you bullying Shi'er?"

"The grandson did not bully Shi'er!" Yang Cheng'an quickly denied.

"You beat her to cry, and you said you didn't bully her!" Yang Zhengshan was speechless.

"I didn't hit her on purpose!"

"Not it intentionally?"

"Hmm~~" Yang Chengan lowered his head, "I just wanted to tease her, who knew she would cry so easily!"

Yang Zhengshan was speechless for a while.

This kid is really restless.

"Let's go, apologize to Shi'er when you go back!"

"Ah, you still need to apologize, isn't Shi'er your grandson's niece? How can an elder apologize to a younger person!"

"You still know you are an elder!"

"Of course!"

"Since you know you are an elder, you should act like an elder and correct your mistakes!"

"Grandpa, can't we not go?"

Yang Zhengshan laughed a little, "Then we won't go back, we'll go back after dark!"

"But I'm hungry!"

"Then I'll give you a peach!" Yang Zhengshan took out a peach and handed it to him.

Yang Chengan looked at the peach with a bitter face, then looked at Yang Zhengshan, "Let's go back, it's not enough for me to apologize to Shi'er!"

"Hahaha, if you dare to tease Shi'er again, Grandpa will take you out fishing every day!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Fishing is not a fun thing for a lively child, especially fishing on such a small boat, which is no different from being in jail.

"I won't tease Shi'er anymore!" Yang Cheng'an said fearfully.

Yang Zhengshan stopped teaching him and said, "Be good, let's go back!"

As he said that, he paddled the boat towards Xingyue Island.

The small boat was slowly drifting on the boundless sea, and there was only a little shadow of Xingyue Island in the distance.

Yang Cheng'an looked at the little shadow, looking forward to it.

"Grandpa, can't we fly back?"

Yang Zhengshan laughed, "I'm just teasing you!"

"..."

Yang Cheng'an looked at his grandfather in distress, he felt that his grandfather was more childish than himself.

Yang Zhengshan stretched out his hand to put the boat into the Lingquan space, holding Yang Cheng'an, and flew on the sea as if walking on flat ground.

His figure was like a stream of green light on the sparkling sea, and in the blink of an eye he had flown several miles away.

In just a few breaths, he had already arrived at Xingyue Island.

"Wow~~ So fast!"

Yang Chengan, who had a bitter face just now, shouted excitedly.

"Grandpa, fly for a while!"

"No more flying, go home!"

Yang Zhengshan didn't indulge him at all, and put him on the ground directly, "Walk back by yourself!"

Yang Chengan pouted again.

Yang Zhengshan ignored him and walked slowly towards Xingyue City with his hands behind his back.

The sun was shining brightly, and the little man followed him with sighs.

It took them two quarters of an hour to reach Xingyue City. Today, the city wall of Xingyue City has been demolished, and there are many more buildings in the city, which has expanded outward for a large circle.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a city, it is more like a big town.

The population on the island has increased a lot, mainly because many people have moved to Xingyue Island in recent years, and many people have bought properties on the island.

In addition to the people of the Yang family, Xie Yuan, Han Cheng and Wu Chongzhe also moved to the island. They had resigned from their official positions a long time ago and are now living on the island.

In addition, Yu Tonghai, Song Dashan, Lu Wenhua, Lin Zhan, Yang Mingwu and others also bought houses on the island, saying that they would come to the island to live in their old age in the future.

Now they have not come to live in their old age, but they have sent many of their children and grandchildren here.

So there are not enough houses in the city, and Yang Zhengshan can only let the government build some new houses.

The streets in the city are very busy, and many nearby villagers come to buy some daily necessities.

Yang Zhengshan walked on the street with Yang Chengan, and many people bowed slightly to greet him after seeing him.

Now everyone on the island knows that he is the owner of the island, and the people respect him very much. At first, many people knelt when they saw him, which made him dare not go out.

Later, he had to force everyone not to kneel when they saw him, and only allowed them to bow slightly to signal, so that he could go out easily.
