Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 899: Chapter 650: Oh My God, Why Is He Here?

"Can’t it be retrieved?"

"It can’t be retrieved anymore, that was twenty days ago!" Li Chang laughed.

Yang Mingzhao sat in the chair, "What should I do then?"

"Mr. Si, you should go back once, the master has mentioned Mr. Si many times already!" Li Chang advised.

Yang Mingzhao sighed softly, it seemed that he had no choice but to return.

"Give me two days to make some arrangements!"

Li Chang naturally wouldn’t refuse, and agreed readily.

Actually, Yang Mingzhao didn’t have much to arrange; he had many trustworthy people here. Although he had recruited a lot of people over the past year, those truly in charge remained Ma Yan, Li Dagui, and others.

So even if he left for three or five months, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

Of course, this also meant he wouldn’t take Li Dagui and others with him, which made Li Dagui and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

Not going back was good; not going back meant they wouldn’t be punished, and maybe this matter could be brushed off in the future!

Wu Zheng also didn’t return; Yang Mingzhao specifically requested him to stay in Baoning Prefecture to safeguard, fearing that once he left, his base might be wiped out!

After making some arrangements, Yang Mingzhao followed Li Chang on the journey home.

...

The fourth year of Jianxing, the seventeenth year of Divine Wood, the eighth day of the eleventh month.

Yang Zhenshan changed the era name to Divine Wood, the original Star Moon era name was directly changed to Divine Wood, only the era name was changed, but not the year.

He naturally didn’t care about the era name; it was set initially only for the convenience of calculating years and recording archives.

The change from Star Moon to Divine Wood was simply because the Yang family moved from Star Moon Island to Divine Wood Island.

The seventeenth year of Divine Wood also represented the seventeenth year since the Yang family left Da Rong.

After half a year’s efforts, the plan for the Yang family on Divine Wood Island began to take shape.

In the northeastern part of Divine Wood Island, Yang Zhenshan named the lake Wannian Lake and the river Qianqiu River.

The pier on the west bank of the lake was Divine Wood Port, but Divine Wood Port had just begun construction, estimated to take one or two years to complete.

The city on the east bank of the lake was naturally Divine Wood City.

The area from the river’s mouth at the lake to the Ten-thousand-year-old Rong was within Divine Wood City’s scope. Divine Wood City also had a small pier, built specifically to facilitate the transport of goods via the island’s waterways.

To the north of Divine Wood City, at the river’s mouth, a commercial district was also established, and many shops were planned to be built in the future.

Currently, however, the commercial district on Divine Wood Island was south of the Ten-thousand-year-old Rong, mainly to provide convenience for the relocated people to purchase various daily necessities.

Presently, apart from Divine Wood City, there were also four towns and sixteen villages on the island, with a total population of more than 43,000 people.

Over 10,000 of the additional people were descendants of the Beihai Navy soldiers.

Moreover, in recent months, more than 20,000 people from Liaodong had migrated over, but they were settled on Star Moon Island and Guiyun Island.

Trans-ocean migrations were still relatively troublesome, mainly because the journey was long and required a large number of ships. Although the Beihai Navy had been assisting with the relocation, after several months, the total number of relocated people barely reached over 30,000.

Divine Wood Island remained a bustling scene, and Yang Zhenshan wasn’t idle either. Although he didn’t need to manage those tedious matters personally, there were still things that required his own touch.

For example, he made infusions of Spiritual Spring Water, pouring a large amount into the rivers on Divine Wood Island, and he also personally visited the newly drilled wells on the island to infuse some Spiritual Spring Water there as well.

Moreover, concerning Longevity Village within the space, even though Yang Mingcheng and Ms. Wang were in Longevity Village, many matters still required Yang Zhenshan’s personal handling.
