Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 233: Being silent for too long is not a good thing (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

I don’t know what Mr. Zheng Er thinks?

He is a top-notch noble son and the head of the Rong Mansion, and is a core member of the noble group.

As a result, the way of thinking about the problem turned out to be that of a scholar!

Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

In normal times, that's it. Now that the joint civil servant group is suppressing it, the Xungui Group has little room to exert its influence.

To put it bluntly, if the Xungui Group wants to develop, there must be wars, and they must be continuous.

Whether it's making money or accumulating military exploits, this is the best environment!

Why was the Xungui Group suppressed?

In just twenty years, it has changed from the core mainstream in the court to one of the suppressed mainstreams, and it is still in decline. In addition to being tricked by the deposed prince, there is also the reason why Tianxia Taiping has no room for the Xungui Group to develop.

There are only so many positions for military attachés in a step-by-step promotion process. No matter how talented you are, they will be wasted by time and end up being lost to everyone.

At present, Jinjin has the idea of ​​​​making a grand plan, and has even begun to test it on the northwest border. As a core member of the Xungui Group, what he should be thinking about is how to make Jinjin firm in his determination to go to war.

Rather than what the civil servants thought, it was not a good thing to start provocations and the emperor should be discouraged from doing anything random.

Of course, Jia Huan didn't directly reveal the secret here, and Mr. Zheng probably wouldn't like to hear it.

Sure enough, after hearing Jia Huan's persuasion, Mr. Zheng frowned slightly and said dissatisfied: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Did you know that once the northwest frontier becomes unstable, it is likely to lead to instability in the court?"

If I go, will I come?

"I only know that many of the idle noble disciples have the opportunity to accumulate military exploits and strive for a position!"

"Those noble generals who are capable and talented, but cannot display them because of the peaceful world, will also have the opportunity to shine!"

"Common people who have basically cut off their channels for advancement now have the possibility of becoming rich!"

"Many positions that were originally firmly held by civilian officials may also be meddlesome by distinguished officials!"

"For example, the intelligence system, grain transportation system, salt service system, and even the household department can be penetrated!"

"Master, this is a great opportunity for you to get closer!"

"Concubine Yuan has given birth to a princess, so you can't get no benefits at all, right?"

Mr. Zheng Er was dumbfounded and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Jia Huan never strays from the interests of the nobles. No matter how stupid Mr. Zheng is, he knows that he cannot object easily.

"I know what the master is thinking!"

Sighing softly, Jia Huan said slowly: "Master, there is no conflict between scholars and nobles!"

"The purpose of studying is to increase knowledge, improve oneself, and also to cultivate one's moral character and master the ability to govern. This is the ability that our noble disciples should have!"

"But being a scholar does not mean that you are a civil servant. These are two concepts!"

"This, this, this, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Zheng Er was stunned again, and his eyes changed when he looked at Jia Huan.

Scholars and civil servants are equal. This is a concept he has formed for a long time. Jia Huan said this is simply shaking his Taoist heart. How can he accept it easily?

Fortunately, Jia Huan has just explained the pros and cons clearly.

Although he was quite unhappy, Mr. Zheng was still not completely confused. He did not use harsh words to forcefully regain his respect, but expressed his dissatisfaction with silence.

Although this meeting had to be ended happily, the atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward.

Jia Huan didn't care either. If Mr. Zheng wanted to make progress as soon as possible, he would definitely figure it out on his own.

When I left, I chatted with the Qingke guests in the big study for a while, not forgetting to remind them to remind Mr. Zheng at the critical moment not to be fooled by some civil servants outside.

He was just above board and gave frank hints. As for whether Mr. Zheng got the clue, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. As long as the Qing guests understood.

Jia Huan is not worried at all that these guys are not interested. Their interests are almost tied to the second master Zheng.

If Mr. Zheng's second master rises to prominence, they will just be mere hangers-on, and the benefits will be indispensable in the future.

Haven't you heard of the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door?

After leaving Rong Mansion, he turned around and went to Ning Mansion next door.

Again, as a member of the branch clan, once an opportunity is discovered, he will naturally help the clan go further. When the clan returns the favor in the future, his own benefits will naturally be indispensable.

"Uncle Huan, you are a rare visitor!"

When he heard that Jia Huan came to visit, Qin Keqing came to entertain him immediately.

We just met, so I didn’t forget to chuckle and joke.

"Look what you said!"

Jia Huan was dumbfounded: "I'm trying to avoid suspicion. Look at my size and build, I'm stronger than the grown men outside. What about Brother Qiang?"

There are some things that are really hard to say, and there is a strong suspicion that he is teasing his nephew and his wife.

Although they were talking in the flower hall of the central courtyard, and there were many maids and women standing beside them, some people's mouths were too vicious, so it was better not to cause trouble for themselves and those close to them.

"Brother Huan, are you looking for me?" At this time, Jia Qiang's curious voice came from outside the door, and the man walked in.

"Sorry, I just came back from outside and happened to hear Brother Huan coming over!"

"Now that Brother Qiang is here, let's get down to business!"

We are all our own people. Jia Huan was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Now that I want to make a difference in martial arts, don't we, the noble children, have a chance?"

Then, he repeated what Mr. Hezheng said again.

Sure enough, Qin Keqing and Jia Qiang's consciousness was much higher than that of Mr. Zheng.

After listening to Jia Huan's account, both of them looked excited.

"Uncle Huan, this is a rare opportunity!"

"Indeed, for our noble family, such an opportunity is very rare!"

"Uncle Huan, do you have any specific ideas?"

"Brother Huan, if you have anything to say, just say it, and the Ning Mansion will try its best to cooperate!"

Jia Huan was very satisfied with the reactions of Qin Keqing and Jia Qiang. Is this normal behavior?

Such nonsense as "warlike war will lead to danger" is a propaganda method released by the civil servant group to prevent the Xungui Group from benefiting.

It is estimated that they themselves don't really believe it, but the second master of politics does.

I don’t even want to think about how the second generation of Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan was able to ascend the throne without being demoted.

If he had not made great military exploits at the border, and had the strong support of his cousin Jia Daihua, who was the military governor of the Beijing camp, how could he have become the first nobleman in the dynasty without being demoted?

"Brother Qiang, do you want to fight in the officialdom?"

Jia Huan didn't answer and asked instead: "This opportunity is indeed very good. I plan to let Brother Cong participate in the martial arts competition at the end of this autumn. No matter what, he must be in the top three!"

Looking at the confused Jia Qiang, she chuckled and said, "I know you don't have any martial arts skills, but you can make a difference in logistics. Isn't this what you have been doing in the past few years?"

"What about the foreign affairs in the mansion?"

Jia Qiang asked subconsciously, obviously very moved in her heart.

Normal people would make this choice. No matter how well he manages the external affairs of the Ning Mansion, he is still just a foreign affairs manager. Relying on the prominent name of Ning Mansion, ordinary middle and low-level officials dare not provoke him.

But once you face high-level officials, or low-level and middle-level officials with low power, you still have to bow your head.

As long as you still have pride in your heart, you won't be reconciled to such a scene.

At this time, Jia Qiang was already twenty years old, and even a fool would not believe her if she had no intention of making any achievements, unless her status as the head of the Ning Mansion's foreign affairs was more prestigious than being an official.

I had no idea before, mainly because Ning Mansion didn't have any adult men to support its facade.

In addition, his own abilities are in logistics management and business management. Even if he enters the officialdom through the relationship with Ning Mansion, he will not be able to get ahead easily unless he has to work hard for more than ten years, so there will be no action.

But the situation is different now. Once a war breaks out, food roads will be the top priority.

Whenever military exploits are achieved on the front line, officials in charge of food distribution will be promoted accordingly. This is quite normal.

In the novel "Fengshenbang" that I haven't seen Qianming appear in, whether it is the local princes or the Zhou and Shang armies, the grain inspectors are all powerful people, either Yang Jian, the Erlang God, or a powerful general with magical powers.

If he could take advantage of the war, he might be directly promoted to the top of a middle-level official like the Fourth Grade in just a few years, or directly enter the ranks of high-level officials.

After all, the Daqian Dynasty had not made any major military moves for a long time.

Once Jin Jin has his mind set, Xungui Group will not let Jin Jin give up easily.

"Ning Mansion's six farms outside the city are temporarily under my management!"

Jia Huan pointed to his nose and said calmly: "As for the shops and other properties, let the trustworthy family take charge first. I will help supervise the accounts and provide military support!"

Then he pointed at Jia Qiang and said: "You go to the Dragon Imperial Guard first to gain qualifications. When the time is right, let that family return the favor and help you find a real job in charge of the grain road!"

"If I didn't have suitable candidates under my command, and Brother Cong is on the path of a first-line military general, I wouldn't be telling you this!"

As for him, isn't he too young?

There is no general in the army who is worthy of complete trust. If he joins the frontier army rashly, his military achievements will definitely not be plucked, but it is unlikely that he will be promoted quickly.

The title of Young General sounds good, but in fact it is quite feared.

Just think about it, once the young general becomes famous, he can stand in the court for at least forty years!

To put it bluntly, if the emperor's lifespan is not long enough, he can even survive the death of several emperors.

At that time, based on his qualifications alone, he will be a veteran of several dynasties, coupled with his prestige in the military, he will be a top military leader, the kind that even the emperor can't sleep at.

As long as it's not troubled times, there are basically very few so-called "young generals".

Brother Cong is thirteen years old this year, but fifteen years old in real life. He has been in the army for two or three years, and no one will question that he is an adult.

A young general is better than a young general and sounds less scary.

"Just do it!"

Before Jia Qiang could answer, Qin Keqing made a categorical statement: "The Ning Mansion has been silent for too long. If Brother Qiang can rise quickly in the officialdom, it will be a great thing for the Ning Mansion!"
