Chapter 117: The stupid, dumb and foolish son

"Then how should we arrange Yinghebao?"

Compared to the situation in Anyuanzhou City, he actually cares more about Yinghebao.

He has been in Yinghebao for more than a year, and has spent a lot of time and energy to govern Yinghebao. Now he finally sees some results, but he is leaving, which makes him a little worried.

If someone else comes to Yinghebao as a defense officer, his previous efforts may soon become a waste of effort.

And his horse farm is still here. If he leaves, it will not be so convenient to use the spiritual spring water for the horse farm.

Thinking about this, Yang Zhengshan feels a headache.

This matter came too suddenly, leaving him unprepared.

Zhou Lan thought about it and said, "Let Yang Chengze temporarily take over the defense officer. After one or two years, I will promote him to a regular thousand households."

The defense officer is always a regular thousand households. Yang Chengze is only a deputy thousand households now, and it has been less than a month since he was promoted to deputy thousand households. Now he certainly cannot be promoted again, so he can only make an exception and temporarily take over.

As for sending other people over, Zhou Lan also thinks it is inappropriate.

The person she chose would definitely not be incompetent, but he would not necessarily follow the rules.

Although Yang Chengze was a little young, fortunately he had served as a garrison officer before, and he had experience in managing garrisons.

More importantly, he was brought up by Yang Zhengshan. If he took over Yinghebao, he would definitely act according to the rules and policies formulated by Yang Zhengshan, so as not to let Yang Zhengshan's previous efforts go to waste.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, and now this was the only way.

In fact, he felt that Yang Mingwu was more suitable, but now Yang Mingwu had gone to Tianhebao, and he certainly could not be transferred back.

"That's good!"

"Well, if you need anything else, I can help you!"

"Do you want to take a few people away? Your juniors are all good, you can take a few to Anyuanzhou City."

Zhou Lan was a little worried about Yang Zhengshan, afraid that Yang Zhengshan would be alone in Anyuanzhou City.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "No, they have their own future, and they still need to walk their own way in the future!"

The dozen people he brought at the beginning now have official positions above 100 households. They are not Yang Zhengshan's servants, so Yang Zhengshan naturally cannot keep them by his side all the time.

And he is not without people now. He has not arranged positions for the dozen Yang family members recommended by Yang Zhengxiang. This time he can take them to Anyuanzhou City for development.

"Well, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me!" Zhou Lan said.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Zhou Lan with some gratitude.

At this time, he also felt reluctant to leave.

For a year and a half, Zhou Lan's care for him needless to say, it can be said that he is responsive to his requests.

With such a good boss, Yang Zhengshan really couldn't bear to leave.

...

After seeing Zhou Lan off, Yang Zhengshan pondered for a long time in the study.

He was wondering why he was transferred this time?

Unfortunately, he knew too little information, and he never thought that this matter would be related to Lu Hua, the eunuch who guarded the city.

Unable to figure out the reason, Yang Zhengshan could only take it one step at a time. The most urgent task now was to arrange the affairs of Yinghe Fort.

He first wrote a letter to Yang Mingwu, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Chengxu, telling them that he was going to Anyuanzhou City, and told them to do things with peace of mind in the future and not to go astray.

He really wrote these three letters as an elder, and the contents of the letters were full of persuasion and teachings.

After sending the letter out, Yang Zhengshan called Yang Mingcheng over again.

In the study, Yang Zhengshan was thinking about how to deal with the horse farm.

After he left, the horse farm would no longer be able to get the help of the spiritual spring water, and it would become an ordinary horse farm.

Completely abandon this horse farm?

It seems unnecessary, even an ordinary horse farm can be profitable.

Moreover, even if he went to Anyuanzhou City, it would take some time to understand the situation in Anyuanzhou City, and it would definitely not be possible to build a new horse farm in a short time.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhengshan felt that it was better to keep the horse farm first and make plans later.

"Dad, do you have something to ask me?"

Seeing that Yang Zhengshan had not spoken, Yang Mingcheng could not help but ask.

"Well, your dad has been promoted! Songzhouwei Commander Tongzhi, serving as the garrison of Anyuanzhou City!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Ah!"

Yang Mingcheng opened his mouth wide and looked at Yang Zhengshan in astonishment.

"Don't be surprised, there are some things I need you to do!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Oh!" Yang Mingcheng has not recovered from his surprise.

At this time, his mind is full of his father's promotion!

What rank is Songzhouwei Commander Tongzhi?

Where is Songzhouwei?

Where is Anyuanzhou City?

His mind is like a ball of paste, making him look stupid, dumb and silly, and his appearance is quite funny.

"You should prepare in the next two days. Leave the horse farm to Jiang He first, and then go to Anyuan Prefecture City to learn about the situation in Anyuan Prefecture City!"

"Take Ding Qiu with you, and let Mingzhen pick a few people to go with you. Be careful when you arrive in Anyuan Prefecture City, don't reveal your identity, and ask more about the affairs of the government offices at all levels."

Yang Zhengshan said.

It's a pity that he can't take Yang Mingzhi to Anyuan Prefecture City. When it comes to asking for information, Yang Mingzhi is more reliable.

Anyuan Prefecture City is a prefecture city. There are not only garrison offices in the city, but also prefectural offices, military preparation offices, and patrol offices of the Censorate.

Yang Zhengshan will inevitably have to deal with these yamen in the future, so it is better to understand the situation in advance.

"Oh!" Yang Mingcheng responded blankly.

Yang Zhengshan was speechless, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head.

"Calm down!"

"Uh, Dad, you have been promoted. The commander of the Wei Department is from the third rank!"

At this time, Yang Mingcheng figured out what rank the commander of the Wei Department was.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

This stupid son!

"Okay, get out!"

Yang Zhengshan didn't want to see him look stupid, so he kicked him out.

And Yang Mingcheng walked out of the study in a daze, stood outside the study door and thought for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then grinned like a fool.

Yang Zhengshan's promotion is definitely a happy event for the Yang family.

Yang Mingcheng was naturally surprised and happy.

"Dad has been promoted!"

The guy came to his senses and immediately ran back to the backyard to tell everyone the news.

Soon there were sounds of surprise and cheers in the backyard.

They didn't know the situation Yang Zhengshan was about to face, but they were just happy that Yang Zhengshan was promoted.

The Yang family knew about this, and other people in Tunbu soon found out too.

For a time, everyone in the camp was talking about Yang Zhengshan's promotion.

No matter what, promotion is a good thing. Everyone in Tunbao is happy for Yang Zhengshan, but everyone has some worries in their hearts.

Especially those ordinary military households, their worries are the most intense.

What kind of life did they live before Yang Zhengshan came, and what kind of life did they live after Yang Zhengshan came.

They knew best what Yang Zhengshan had brought to them.

They thanked Yang Zhengshan for everything he had done for them and respected Yang Zhengshan's character.

But they were more afraid of losing Yang Zhengshan and going back to the past.

I don’t know which military household came to the government office first, but soon a large number of people gathered in front of the government office.

The sky was dark, and crowds of people gathered in front of the government office.

They looked eagerly at the location of the government office's study, but they didn't shout loudly or do anything, they just watched quietly.

"Sir, you'd better go out and take a look!"

In the study, Lu Wenchun said worriedly.

With so many people gathering in front of the government office, if one person doesn't handle it well, it could cause a big mess.

Yang Zhengshan stood up, gathered his clothes, and walked out of the government office.

After everyone saw Yang Zhengshan, they became a little excited.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"Greetings, my lord!"

With a crash, he knelt on the ground.

Yang Zhengshan looked at them with a gentle smile on his face.

"Everyone, get up. It's getting cold today. It's too cold to kneel on the ground!"

He stepped forward and helped an old man up.

He was very familiar with this old man, but he didn't know his name.

The old man has always lived in Yinghe Fort. His eldest son died in the Battle of Linguan Fort. His second son is now a cavalryman.

After Yang Zhengshan helped the old man up, he raised his head and looked around at everyone, and said: "Promotion is a good thing. Everyone should be happy for me. Why are you all crying in mourning!"

"Sir, what should we do after you leave?" the old man beside him said tremblingly.

They thanked Yang Zhengshan, but he was more worried about his future life.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, after I leave, Deputy Qianhu Yang Chengze will serve as the defense officer, and he will help everyone like me."

"I will lead everyone to the battlefield just like me!"

Yang Zhengshan said the last sentence a little lowly.

War and death are the fate that military households in border towns cannot escape.

Yang Zhengshan did a lot for them, but he also made many of them lose their loved ones.

If Yang Zhengshan hadn't come, their defense officers would probably hide in the fort and not dare to leave the fort to fight. In that case, their relatives might not have died in the battle!

Yang Zhengshan's military exploits were all earned with their lives.

After listening to Yang Zhengshan's words, the worries in the hearts of the military households dissipated a little.

They all know Yang Chengze. After all, Yinghe Fort is so big, and Yang Chengze is not a stranger in Yinghe Fort. Everyone can see him without looking up.

But Yang Chengze, who was not far away, was confused.

Make me the defensive officer?

Didn't I just get promoted to Deputy Qianhu?

Why do you want to be a defensive officer?

Yang Chengze was not surprised. Instead, he felt very uneasy and even a little scared.

He was afraid that he would ruin everything Yang Zhengshan had done, that he would let Yinghe Fort decline, and that he would let down the expectations of the military households.

"Don't worry, even if I leave Yinghe Fort, I will never forget Yinghe Fort!"

"Besides, isn't there General Zhou?"

"Today is different from the past. With General Zhou here, I believe you will live better and better."

Yang Zhengshan tried his best to comfort these military households with gentle words.

He spoke for a full two-quarters of an hour before the military households felt at ease and then dispersed one after another.

Looking at the figures leaving one after another, Yang Zhengshan sighed in his heart, "They are all miserable people!"

"Okay, let's all disperse." He said to the officials around him.

By now it was completely dark, and everyone should have gone to the office long ago.
