Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 338: Chapter 327 Selling Residences and Shops

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yang Zhenshan prepared two banquet tables in the government office to entertain the guests who had been invited.

In fact, the number of guests wasn’t large—just over a dozen.

From Jizhou, Ji Hai and Ning Qingqing of the Hengdao Sect, Hua Jinqiu from the Sky Blue Sword Sect of An Yuan State, Zhang Qingsong from the Zhang family of Liao’an Prefecture, Mr. Lu and Lu Qi of the Lu family from Anning County, as well as Yang Zhengxiang and Yang Mingcheng representing the Yang family.

Additionally, there were Shang Mingde of the Shang family from Jing’an Prefecture, the wealthy merchant Wang Zhenze of the Wang family, and the family heads of the Zhang and Lin families.

In fact, Yang Zhenshan had also invited the Lu family, but they only sent a letter instead of attending in person. It wasn’t that the Lu family looked down on Yang Zhenshan and the Tenglong Guard, but rather the Lu family’s resources were too limited and they didn’t have much silver, so they chose not to get involved.

Ever since Lu Wenquan entered the Hanlin Academy, the Lu family had been making arrangements for him, purchasing a residence and several servants in the Capital City, as well as some farmland in the surrounding counties, nearly depleting their family wealth.

And with Lu Zhaoqi and Lu Zhaoran brothers having gone to the Capital City and not yet returned, only the old man Lu Songhe was left at home, without another suitable representative to send.

Besides, Lu Wenhua was still there, so there was no need for the Lu family to dispatch someone separately.

At the government office, Yang Zhenshan had Han Fei, Zhou Ren, and Lu Wenhua accompany the guests.

Before the banquet started, Yang Zhenshan first elaborated on the Tenglong Guard’s future development and planning—reiterating what he had said to Luo Shang to the present guests.

“Generally speaking, this is the plan. After the New Year, in March, the Tenglong Guard’s merchant ships will go to Jiangnan to establish a navigation route, and if all goes well, we will attempt to open trade routes with the Li Sheng Dynasty and the Desheng Dynasty in June!”
