Chapter 296 The Way Out For The Liang Family

"Grandpa is talented and intelligent, but there are so many generations in our Liang family, and only one Jinshi, grandpa, has come out. The younger generations of the Liang family, how is their talent for reading compared to grandpa when he was young?"

In the Liang family compound in Xiangshan, Liang Yao sent soul torture to his grandfather Liang Weiming.

Liang Weiming asked the Liang family's children to learn foreign language and go to California to find a job under Liang Yao's command.Some of the Liang family's children have already arrived in California, and Liang Yao has also arranged jobs for them.

But Liang Weiming still couldn't let go of his obsession with the imperial examination, and hoped that a few more talented Liang family children would continue to take the imperial examination.

"The Liang family is the home of a scholarly family, and the road of merchants is not the right one." Liang Weiming's attitude is still quite stubborn.

"That was in the Qing Dynasty, and in the United States, the path of merchants and merchants was the right way." Liang Yao said, "Now the Qing Dynasty is undergoing major changes unseen in a thousand years. If Grandpa wants the Liang family's children to become officials , The imperial examination is not the only way, there are other ways to go.”

Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty was not so easy to take the exam, nor could it be obtained by throwing money at it.

The Pan family is rich enough, four or five generations have spent so much money, and the family tradition is also very good, but they only managed to produce a Jinshi.

Like Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang was a scholar at the age of 17, a scholar at the age of 21, a Jinshi at the age of 24, and became a governor at the age of 39. His career in the imperial examinations went so smoothly. In the Qing Dynasty, it was rare and very few. very few of them.

A down-and-out scholar like Hong Xiuquan in his thirties who couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar is the true portrayal of most intellectuals in the Qing Dynasty.

The difficulty of the Jinshi examination in the past dynasties is not that thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, but the difficulty of taking the head of a general among millions of troops.

"What way?" Liang Weiming asked with a sip of tea.

"Group practice." Liang Yao pointed out a shortcut to Liang Weiming.

"Team training?" Liang Weiming asked puzzled.

"Yes, group training." Liang Yao said in a very positive tone, "The imperial court wants to flatten the hair, and it will be a matter of time before the group training is released. This is a good opportunity for the Liang family to turn around."

Although Pan Shicheng was already tempted to run the team training, Liang Yao didn't want to place all the bets on Pan Shicheng alone.

Furthermore, Liang Yao also didn't want the Pan family to control all the trained team in the future.At least his own family will also get a share of the group training.

"Shangmao was able to move to Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan under heavy siege, and threatened the capital of Hunan Province. He is by no means an ordinary person. He can defeat Changmao only with regimental training?" Liang Weiming said while rubbing his chin.

Last year when Hong Xiuquan started the incident, the Manchus went from the capital to the local area. No one thought that this riot could turn out to be a big deal.

In just less than two years, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. At this time, the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty, especially the southern gentry, has already felt that this group of long-haired bandits is not easy.

Although Liang Weiming lives in Xiangshan, he is not deaf to what is going on outside the window.

"Ordinary regiment training can't do anything to grow hair, but if this regiment is equipped with new equipment and trained by Western methods, it might be impossible to fight." Liang Yao said, "At that time, as long as our Liang family leads troops to fight beautifully at the airport , you will be able to show your talents in front of the emperor."

"Having said that, not all the Liang family's children are as competitive as you. I'm afraid they won't be able to lead soldiers and take on heavy responsibilities. Especially your father and second uncle, who smoked opium until their bones collapsed."

Liang Weiming said bitterly.

Among the many descendants of the Liang family, Liang Yao was one of the few descendants of the Liang family who could make him feel comforted.

"Grandfather is too soft-hearted. If it were me, I would cut off their money and send it to Australia to mine, to see if they still smoke opium." Liang Yao said.

"These two trash can't be counted on. Shao Yu went to California to join you again. I, who is about to be buried in half, can't bring soldiers." Liang Weiming got up and paced back and forth in the lobby, as if struggling, After struggling for a while, Liang Weiming made up his mind.

"Among the many Liang family children, the only ones who are worthy of use are the fifth uncle and your fourth brother. Your fourth brother is too young. If you want to lead a team to practice, only your fifth uncle is the most suitable."

Liang Weiming had six sons and two daughters, two of whom died when they were young.

The survivors are Liang Shaochen (father of Liang Yao), Liang Shaocong (second uncle of Liang Yao), Liang Shaoyu (third uncle of Liang Yao), Liang Shaoqiong (fifth uncle of Liang Yao), and Liang Zhen (aunt of Liang Yao).

Liang Yao's fifth uncle, Liang Shaoqiong, has a great reputation and is only 34 years old this year. He is in the prime of life. It is indeed the most suitable candidate for Liang Shaoqiong to lead the team to practice.

Originally, Liang Weiming hoped that Liang Shaoqiong would follow his old path and gain a reputation as a Jinshi, and he was willing to let Liang Shaoqiong come out to lead the team to practice, which showed that Liang Weiming had made up his mind.

"It would be a great thing if Uncle Wu took the place of our Liang family to lead the Guangdong Province team to practice." Liang Yao laughed.

When the grandfather and grandson were talking, they only heard the servant report: "My lord, Chief Secretary Pan is here to visit."

Chief Secretary Pan is Pan Shicheng, and Chief Secretary is the official title given to Pan Shicheng by Lao Daoguang.

It's just that Pan Shicheng's Chief Secretary of Guangdong is a false title, and Liang Yao prefers to call Pan Shicheng's real-time general manager.

"Mr. Liang is really good at predicting things. I learned from Governor Ye that the emperor allowed the squires from Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces to organize and practice village warriors to prevent long-haired men! Wait for the imperial court to recruit if necessary!"

Pan Shicheng said excitedly.

"Mr. Liang knows the soldiers, and I ask Mr. Liang to teach you about the matter of Yueyong!"

"General Manager Pan doesn't think about it anymore?" Liang Yao teased.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there is nothing to consider."

After returning to Guangzhou after the banquet that day, Pan Shicheng had already thought about it for a long time.He had already made up his mind and decided to give it a go.

"I will naturally help you with the preparation and training of Yueyong. Guangdong is also my hometown. As a Cantonese, I don't want my hometown to suffer from military disasters." Liang Yao said with his hands behind his back.

"With the help of Mr. Liang, I will be able to help." After receiving Liang Yao's affirmative answer, Pan Shicheng was overjoyed.

"Governor Ye and Governor Xu nodded? Working in Guangdong, without the nods of these two officials, it is difficult to move forward." Liang Yao reminded.

"The two governors, Mr. Pan, have already finished their management. It is now a thankless task to compile and train the country courage. The gentry in Guangzhou avoid it. Except for me, they have no interest in running the country courage." Pan Shicheng said, "I would like to The two governors are very happy to be this young bird."

Ye Mingchen and Xu Guangjin are of course happy that they can share the pressure of public security in Guangdong without using local finances.

"General Manager Pan came just in time. My fifth uncle happened to be staying at home and had nothing to do. Now that the choreography and training of Yueyong has been completed, I want my fifth uncle to find a job in Yueyong." Liang Yao said.

How could Pan Shicheng, an old fritter, not know Liang Yao's intentions, he just wanted to get his hands on Yueyong.

Pan Shicheng needed Liang Yao's assistance in the matter of rehearsing Yueyong, and he couldn't refuse Liang Yao.

Furthermore, the Liang family is a prominent family in Xiangshan, representing the squires of Xiangshan. It is also beneficial for Pan Shicheng to have the support of the squires of Xiangshan to run Yueyong.

"With the help of the Liang family, Pan has programmed and practiced Yueyong, which is like adding wings to a tiger!" Pan Shicheng laughed.
