Chapter 20 I asked you to observe and learn, but you went to see the little girl?

"Second brother, tell me what you discovered!" Yang Zhengshan asked Yang Mingzhi again.

Yang Mingzhi followed the bullock cart and said as he walked: "Dad, I have been observing the Lu family during this time!"

"The Lu family!" Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows.

"Well, the Lu family is the largest family in Anning County. The Lu family has many industries. After my observation, I found that the grain shop, blacksmith shop, restaurant, teahouse, gold and silver shop, etc. on the east street of the county are all the properties of the Lu family! "

"In addition, the Lu family has a family school. There are more than fifty students in the family school. Most of them are descendants of the Lu family. They all have good talents in reading!"

"I also made a friend of the Lu family, Lu Cheng. He is a collateral descendant of the Lu family. He is eighteen years old and is studying at the Lu clan school."

"According to what he said, there is an old man from the Lu family who is an official in Kyoto. He seems to be a doctor in the household department."

"..."

Yang Mingzhi talked a lot about the Lu family, from the fact that several members of the Lu family were serving as officials abroad to the outstanding children of the Lu family.

What he said was very fragmentary, but Yang Zhengshan listened intently.

These are aspects that he has never been exposed to before. Although he knows that the Lu family is the largest family in Anning County, his understanding of the Lu family is limited to the largest family.

As Yang Mingzhi talked more and more, Yang Zhengshan looked at him with more and more strange eyes.

"Dad, why are you looking at me like this?" Yang Mingzhi noticed Yang Zhengshan's eyes and asked with some confusion.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, you did a good job."

Talent!

This guy is definitely a talent.

In just a few days, this boy actually found out so clearly about the situation of the Lu family.

He also made friends with the Lu family.

The original person also knew people from the Lu family. Lu Zhou and the original person were life and death brothers, but the original person had almost no understanding of the Lu family.

Comparing the two, the gap is immediately apparent.

"Third brother, it's your turn!" Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Minghao who was following the bullock cart.

"Ah!" Yang Minghao seemed to be distracted, and his face was filled with confusion when he was suddenly called out by Yang Zhengshan.

"What did you discover today?" Yang Zhengshan said lightly.

"Well, I found that the lady from Nancheng Buzhuang is very beautiful!" Yang Minghao opened his mouth and said.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan's head was full of black lines, and he wished he could slap this stupid son to death.

I asked you to observe and learn, but you went to see the little girl?

Depend on!

Yang Zhengshan wanted to curse.

"No, no, I found that lady to be very capable!" Yang Minghao finally noticed Yang Zhengshan's dark face and quickly changed his words.

The corners of Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly.

Are you driving with me?

"How capable?"

The black-faced Yang Zhengshan was terrifying. Yang Minghao shrank his neck and whispered, "I feel like she is the shopkeeper of Buzhuang."

Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath and said silently in his heart, don't be angry, don't be angry, who doesn't have a stupid son.

"Okay, stop talking!"

Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to talk to this bastard anymore and turned to look at Lin Zhan.

"And you?"

"Disciple discovered that the medicine business and leather goods business in Anning County are very good!" Lin Zhan's young face showed a calmness and seriousness that did not suit his age.

"Then do you have any other ideas?" Yang Zhengshan continued to ask.

"Disciple thinks it is a good idea to let the common people grow medicinal materials!" Lin Zhan looked at Yang Zhengshan expectantly.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

To be honest, although Lin Zhan is young, he is far smarter than the three Yang Mingcheng brothers. In addition, he has a scholar father who is more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than the three Yang Mingcheng brothers.

But after all, he is still young and views things a bit one-sided.

"Growing medicinal materials is indeed more profitable than growing food, but you have overlooked several issues."

"First, ordinary farmers do not know how to grow medicinal materials. It may take several years to promote the cultivation of medicinal materials in Anning County."

"Second, the grain output in Anning County is not abundant. This involves the relationship between supply and demand. Compared with medicinal materials, the people need food more. If the people are allowed to plant medicinal materials on a large scale, Anning County's food will inevitably be insufficient, and it will be transported from other places. When food comes to Anning County, the price of food will inevitably increase.”

"With this increase, people's income from growing medicinal materials is actually about the same as growing food."

"And without food, the people's ability to withstand disasters will be even lower. Natural and man-made disasters are happening one after another in Anning County. If people only rely on buying food to survive, the price of food may rise to the sky."

"As for the third thing, this involves a concept issue. People value food. They will not change easily, and they are not willing to take risks."

Yang Zhengshan told Lin Zhan everything he could think of without any reservation.

After two months of contact, Lin Zhan has gained his recognition.

"When looking at anything, you must analyze it from multiple aspects. Don't just see the advantages, but also be good at discovering the shortcomings."

"Only if you have a way to make up for all the shortcomings can you complete something successfully."

Yang Zhengshan taught step by step.

"Thank you, Master, for your teaching. Disciples will keep it in mind!" Lin Zhan said.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves on the road ahead.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

The intensive sound of horse hoofbeats swept along with the sound of scolding. Yang Mingcheng, who was driving the cart, was startled and quickly pulled in the reins, while the big ox pulling the cart even hid in the fields on the roadside.

Rumble~~

The sound of horse hooves rolled like muffled thunder, and in an instant one by one the cavalrymen rushed past the bullock cart.

Yang Zhengshan sat on the ox cart, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Cavalry!

They are not cavalry from the border army!

Anning County is close to the northeastern border, and there are troops stationed in the territory. On weekdays, soldiers are often mobilized. Yang Zhengshan has seen many border soldiers in the county.

However, this cavalry army is the first time he has seen it.

There are about 300 cavalrymen in front of him, all wearing iron armor, iron helmets, and long swords on their waists. They are as fierce as a tiger and wolf army.

The reason why Yang Zhengshan thinks that this is not the cavalry of the border army is that most of the cavalry of the border army, except for the personal guards around the generals, are light cavalry wearing leather armor.

Especially in winter, the border army rarely wears iron armor.

It is cold and freezing, and wearing iron armor is almost like carrying ice cubes. Therefore, the border army in the northeast mainly wears leather armor and cotton armor in winter.

The cavalry in front of him is wearing iron armor. Obviously, they are not local soldiers in Anning County, but from the south.

I just don’t know where they came from.

Dust filled the air. The cavalry came quickly and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared in the empty field, leaving only a cloud of dust.

"My goodness, where did this cavalry come from? It's so scary!" Yang Mingcheng patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

"It shouldn't be from Anning County. They are wearing armor!" Lin Zhan whispered.

"Strange, why did the cavalry suddenly come? Is there a war in the north?" Yang Mingzhi said thoughtfully.

Several people marveled at the power of this cavalry and speculated on the reason why this cavalry came to Anning County.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "Drive the ox cart out, let's go!"

Fortunately, their big yellow ox was calm. Although it was frightened by the sudden cavalry, it was not scared crazy, but just hid in the field by the roadside.

Several people pushed the ox cart back to the road and continued to rush towards home.
