Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 856: Chapter 631: Full Island Mobilization

Yang Zhenshan stood up and walked to the door, looking at the officials and government officials inside the government office, shaking his head lightly.

The great battle is about to begin, but the entire Star Moon Island didn’t have a hint of tension, with everyone relaxing leisurely, as if the upcoming battle was just a trivial matter.

Perhaps it’s because Star Moon Island is too powerful, or maybe it’s due to his protection of Star Moon Island. In any case, there is always a pervasive sense of arrogance on the island.

It’s the kind of confidence that says, ”I am awesome, I am invincible in the world, who dares to provoke me, I can kill them.”

This sense of arrogance gives Star Moon Island strong cohesion, but it also brings a restless atmosphere to the island.

Yang Zhenshan had long wanted to curb this trend, but had never had the chance. Now, it’s just right to make everyone a little nervous, letting them realize that there are many forces on this vast sea that can bring disaster to Star Moon Island.

Yang Mingzhi was a bit dazed, but then he understood Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts and said: ”Yes, I’ll go recruit martial artists and get ready for battle!”

”Mm, go ahead, exaggerate the strength of the Taro Dynasty a bit, let them know the fear!” Yang Zhenshan laughed.

Fear isn’t necessarily a bad thing; in this chaotic world, having a sense of reverence allows you to live longer.

With Yang Zhenshan’s orders, the government office immediately sprang into action.

Hundreds of soldiers scattered out of the city toward the villages and towns on the island and then gathered the young and strong from the villages and towns.

The young and strong on Star Moon Island are not ordinary youths; they must be martial artists to qualify as young and strong.

How many martial artists Star Moon Island has truly remains uncertain; even the government office doesn’t have precise figures, because it only registers martial artists above the Postnatal Sixth Layer, as only those can receive a cultivation salary.

This year is the seventeenth year of Star Moon, meaning that the Yang family moved to Star Moon Island over sixteen years ago.

The initial teenagers of fifteen or sixteen are now around thirty years old.

These people have all attended school and received basic training. Perhaps most of them have not achieved great success in cultivation, but the vast majority are martial artists.

Thus, on Star Moon Island, the majority of the young and strong aged between sixteen and thirty-five are martial artists.

A few might just be ordinary people who have only recently moved to Star Moon Island.

And the two thousand young men and women who migrated from Tenglong Guard are now all postnatal martial artists, including some who have achieved the Postnatal Fifth Layer.

If you encounter a postnatal martial artist plowing fields with oxen on Star Moon Island, don’t be surprised; it’s perfectly normal.

If you see an ordinary farm woman jumping a yard high, don’t be surprised; there are many such farm women on Star Moon Island.

If you see two young lads holding long knives slashing at each other at the village entrance, don’t be surprised either; they are most likely sparring.

Beihenan Village, this is a common village on Star Moon Island.

Why is it called Beihenan Village?

Because Star Moon Island has three small rivers: North River, Middle River, and South River. After these three converge, they are collectively called the Big River.

And the villages along the riverbanks thus are called Beihenan Village, Beihebei Village, Zhonghenan Village, Zhonghe East Village, Nanhebei Village, Dahenan Village, etc.

Additionally, there are four towns: Beihe Town, Nanhe Town, Zhonghe Town, and Dahe Town. The names were given quite arbitrarily, but they make sense, don’t they?

Just by hearing the name, you can know the general location of this village on the island.

Four or five li downstream of Beihenan Village, across the river, is Beihebei Village. Four or five li upstream is Beihe Town, and further upstream there is another village called Beihetan Village.

These names were all given by Jiang He. If one dislikes them, they can go look for Jiang He.

In the early morning, villagers in Beihenan Village were busy in the fields. Although the Lantern Festival had just passed, the villagers were already preparing for spring cultivation.

Star Moon Island’s early rice is generally sown at the end of January, and by mid-February, seedlings would be transplanted. Before sowing and transplanting, villagers need to complete land preparation, fertilization, irrigation, etc. Therefore, after the Lantern Festival, villagers must prepare for early rice cultivation.

Gao Qinghai is thirty-one years old this year, he is an ordinary villager of Beihenan Village.

He originally was a citizen of Da Rong in Funing Prefecture, Fuhai Province. Sixteen years ago, in the first year of Star Moon, they were fortunate to be brought to Star Moon Island and became residents of the island.

At that time, his family had eight members. His father was over forty, having the scholar’s title and even taught in private school, so after moving to Star Moon Island, his father became the schoolteacher in Beihenan Village.

Back then, Gao Qinghai was just fourteen years old, still a teenager, but he was luckier, at least more so than his two brothers.

After arriving at Star Moon Island, he not only went to school but also started cultivation.

Although his talent was poor, and after more than ten years of cultivation, he hadn’t become a postnatal martial artist, yet after cultivation, he became strong and robust, making farming much easier. What’s more important is his strong body and vigor, making his wife worn out every day.

After ten years of marriage, he already has three daughters and two sons, and now his wife is expecting another.

Regarding the ability to procreate, he undoubtedly ranks first in the Gao family.

Due to this point, his father and mother especially love him and his wife, and whenever there is anything good at home, they first give them a share.

Now his eldest son is thirteen, and the martial arts instructor in the school says his eldest son’s talent is excellent, likely to become a martial artist at fifteen, which makes Gao Qinghai even more excited, and takes on work with more vigor.
