Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

With the old Emperor’s imperial edict, the Ministry of Industry and the Central Army Commander’s Mansion are making every effort to cooperate, with the former manufacturing warships and the latter responsible for replenishing the shortfall in military households for the Tenglong Guard.

To welcome the incoming warships and military households, Yang Zhenshan also has a lot to prepare.

When the warships arrive, there must be a place for them to dock, so the construction of the dockyard must be accelerated.

Not just the dockyard, but the Navy camp must also be built more quickly, and training for the Navy soldiers must be advanced as well.

And for the ten thousand incoming military households, accommodations must be found, and food must be prepared for them to survive the winter, especially since the spring planting season has long passed. The government office must sustain these new military households at least until the autumn harvest next year.

The Tenglong Guard is developing well, but Yang Zhenshan finds himself faced with an ever-increasing number of tasks, keeping him busy day and night. He even neglected the fact that Lin Zhan was to take the College Examination, thankfully Lin Zhan had a reliable teacher who had already taken him to Jing’an Prefecture to participate.

Under Liu Zhe’s tutoring, Lin Zhan made swift and significant progress in his studies and, not unexpectedly, he passed as a Scholar.

Scholar is the colloquial term for a student who has been granted the qualification to enroll in school, and Lin Zhan’s results placed him at the top of the first class. He was accepted as a stipendiary student of Jing’an Prefecture, eligible to study at the Prefecture School.

However, Lin Zhan definitely would not attend the Prefecture School since he had Liu Zhe as his teacher, and there was no need for him to go there to learn.

Moreover, Liu Zhe would take him on a journey to visit learned Confucian scholars all over the country, so there was even less reason to attend Prefecture School.
