Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 52 Chapter 52
Niu Jiadi's answer made Jia Lian even more unbalanced. Why, how could this guy be a scholar, and he could clearly prove that Yan Shun at least had the title of scholar, but someone else took it.

"Then how did you become a scholar? It can't be a lie!"

Jia Lian who said this was itching his teeth with hatred, Niu Jiadai, who is a dog, is obviously the first son of an unknown son, and the family can still arrange this matter, but he is the eldest grandson of Jia Rongguo Mansion, but he doesn't even care about his fame. You have to worry about everything when you grow up.

So unfair.

Seeing Jia Lian's impatient look, Niu Jiadai suddenly felt that it was a bit of a face to be so envied by Jia Lian.

"Tch! Don't you know that the Imperial College has three schools: law, calligraphy, and arithmetic?"

Jia Lian really doesn’t know about this. Just like most people know that there are universities like Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Jingcheng Zhengfa, but they don’t necessarily know that there is such a thing as Zhengfa Vocational College.

"What the hell is this? Can you call yourself a late student even after you graduate?"

In ancient times, there was a saying that students who graduated from school were those who failed to graduate, and students who failed to graduate from the Imperial College were also scholars.

Jia Lian was confused about the fame he had with Niu Jiadai, but the cousin of the Sun family who had never spoken opened his mouth when he heard Jia Lian's question.

"The study of law, calligraphy, and arithmetic, teaching officials below the eighth rank and the sons of the common people to make a living, laws and regulations are Zhuanye, and learning format laws, stone scriptures, "Shuowen", and "Zi Lin" are Zhuanye. Study Yu Shu!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Lian and said with a smile.

"The doctors and masters there are all from the ninth grade!"

He put down the tea bowl and looked at his cousin.

"I have a disciple who is a doctor of law. What? My cousin wants to gain fame!"

Jia Lian was so happy to hear that her cousin, who had never spoken a word, was a great blessing when he opened his mouth!
Speaking of which, my cousin is so awesome. He is a civil servant from the eighth grade, but his disciple is actually a university president, and he is also a government official.

This, this, this is something!

"Yes, yes, yes, who cares if I lose my fame? Since my cousin has such a strong relationship, I wonder if I can be a civil servant!"

Jia Er nodded like a fool, and then shamelessly made an even more extreme request.

But unexpectedly, my cousin did not express his position, but my uncle did.

"Nonsense! That's a show of talent. Why do you have the nerve to talk?"

Niu Jiadai on the side also felt that Jia Lian had gone too far. Although these scholars had entered the privileged class, their status was very different from that of He Ju.

No wonder Jia Lian is a serious relative and dares to make such a request.

I am envious and envious because I am a student who has graduated from the Imperial College of Law.Dr. Zhang Xue, whom I had tried hard to win as the Duke of Guo, turned out to be a disciple of his cousin.

No wonder people dare to aspire to be a scholar, but the upper limit for myself is to be a scholar.

Can't compare, really can't compare.

The fame that he worked so hard to achieve was just a matter of words in the mouths of his relatives, and what was even more outrageous was that Jia Lian was not satisfied with it.This is the blessing of a good life!
After Jia Lian finished speaking, he also knew that he had passed. There was a gap between scholar and scholar.

This scholar is only exempted from corvee service, refuses to worship the official, and is exempted from death three times. However, the scholar not only has all the privileges of a scholar, but also has real economic benefits.

You can raise slaves and maidservants, unlike "a common people's house, if you keep slaves and maidservants, you can be released with a hundred sticks."

And at the local level, you can directly serve as local officials. Most of them are the directors and directors of county-level ministries and commissions and bureaus with real power. There are a very few who can be division-level cadres such as county magistrates and county magistrates.

But there is one thing, once a person becomes an official, he can no longer take the imperial examination, and his future will be cut off. He can only hang around in the county town for the rest of his life, and at most he can mix in the city.Therefore, most candidates will continue to take exams and strive towards the top spot.No matter how good he is, he should be a capital official, not just hang around in the local area.

Han Si and Wu Juren went home without a face after failing the exam, just to seek a future as a Beijing official.

In addition, a person can be exempted from the land tax of 100-200 acres and the corvee service of more than a dozen families.

Don’t underestimate this privilege. In ancient times, land tax and corvee were the two most important burdens on farmers. Even if a person’s family didn’t have so much land, he could still sell this privilege as if it were an approval document. Big landowners could My own land is in the name of Juren, which is a reasonable way to avoid taxes.

With this alone, a local family can live a life of wealth and freedom without worrying about food and clothing.

Moreover, even if the candidates do not become officials, they will still be an important part of the squire. They will have a high reputation and be hired as staff members and tutors, and their income levels will also be high.

And those who hire them as tutors also have a general role as county magistrates.Who can underestimate this network of relationships?

Therefore, it is really shameless that Jia Lian wants to solve the problem in just one sentence.

After saying that, Jia Lian blushed a little, feeling that his relative could not help at all except for asking for his brother and uncle.Pig teammates indeed.

Little did they know that uncle Zhang Erhe stopped Jia Lian not because of Jia Lian's excessive demands, but because he was afraid that his other nephew would really do it for Jia Lian.

In that case, it would not be in vain to arrange for Jia Lian to go to Honglu Temple. Jia Lian still needs to use it. If Sun Zhenzhen continues to support him like this, Jia Lian will be promoted within a few days in Honglu Temple.

That would ruin your own business.

You know, if there is no prodigal son in the family, where will the wealth come from?

It is difficult for the Zhang family to recover now. The difficulty lies in the fact that there is no one to do the dirty work; there is an unworthy descendant like himself in the family, who is willing to fight for the family's revival without any bottom line or moral integrity.

But a lonely tree cannot support itself, and it is impossible to rely on oneself alone. This is the opportunity for Jia Lian.There is no conflict between loving this nephew and using this nephew.

But his other ally and nephew really likes this nephew from the bottom of his heart.

That's really helpful.

But I'm here to help you, don't mess with me.

With that said, Zhang Erhe glanced at Jia Lian and told him to be honest and not to go too far.If I can't control Sun Huanzhen, I can't control you, Jia Er.

And Jia Lian also knew the current situation and shut up.

Zhang Erhe, who had blocked Jia Lian's good deeds, was also a little embarrassed and asked.

"What are you doing, you bastard? Tell me quickly!"

He wanted to see if Jia Lian, who had been struggling all day in Honglu Temple, had anything serious to do. If he had something serious to do, hurry up and see what it was. If it was within his ability, he would take care of it.

It can be regarded as compensation for blocking Jia Lian's good deeds.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Jia Lian could speak, Sun Huanzhen spoke.

"Good cousin, hurry up and tell your uncle, otherwise the village will no longer have this store after this compensation!"

Sun who said this was really a bit yin and yang.Jia Lian never understood, but Niu Jiadai did.

Darling, it turns out that this cousin of the Sun family can really give Jia Lian a national title!
