Chapter 303 Debut (please subscribe)

Just have confidence!
Lest some guys do poorly in exams and end up blaming Jia Huan.

This time, the warriors from the Zhili region who participated in the martial arts examination were indeed quite strong.

There are almost more than thirty named noble disciples alone!
There is no doubt that in a regional martial arts examination, it is quite extraordinary to have so many noble children from the capital participate in it. This is not the period when the martial arts style of the founding of the People's Republic of China was still good!
Through the guidance of Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others, Jia Huan met many noble disciples who had only heard of their names in the past, but had never met them in person.

Half of them are those who have already entered the military training!

Obviously, they have realized the fact that it is easier to get promoted through martial arts!
Jia Huan had no intention of taking the initiative to make friends, he just wanted to listen to Feng Ziying and others introduce the situation.

Now that you have entered the examination room, you are an out-and-out competitor. There is no need to play any tricks or tricks, just see the truth.

Soon, the martial arts examination will begin!
When it comes to bows and arrows, whether it’s foot shooting or mounted shooting, the arrows hit the bull’s-eye.

In terms of strength, a five-hundred-jin stone lock can fly up, enough to crush all the candidates.

In terms of fist and kick martial arts, there are almost no three-in-one enemies. This is because of the lack of water!
That is to say, there is no weapons competition, otherwise Jia Huan will definitely let the other candidates know what a crushing advantage is!

It can be said that since the beginning of the exam, Jia Huan has been the most outstanding star, bar none.

Some candidates have good strength and can even easily lift a 400-pound stone lock, but their abilities in other aspects are average.

Some candidates are quite good at boxing and kicking, but their bow and arrow and strength are only average.

Some of them are pretty good in terms of footwork and bows, but some of them are terrible in horseback shooting.

In short, everyone has their own shortcomings, and there are very few hexagonal strong men like Jia Huan.

That is to say, the group of noble children who have been in the army for a period of time, as well as the civilian children who are really talented, have only slightly shown that they are quite excellent in several specialties.

But no matter what, Jia Huan was the most dazzling presence in the entire examination room from the beginning.

When it came time to take the art of war and strategy test, he couldn't help but smile softly when he saw the question.

The questions of this exam are very practical. They ask the candidates about their views on the war in the northwest frontier and whether they have any good solutions.

To be honest, even if the chief minister of the cabinet answers such a question, he may not be able to answer it very well.

Putting it in the capital's martial arts examination, it is simply embarrassing!

But this is not difficult for Jia Huan.

He did not write down any clever strategies. Instead, based on the current situation at the northwest border, as a guarding general, he described the layout of the front line, the strategies and tactics in the middle, and the logistics supplies. The main focus was on one 'Bullying others'!
Regardless of whether it is a big war or a small war, with the manpower, material resources and other reserves of Daqian Border Gate, it is completely possible to consume the Hu tribes outside the Great Wall to death.

As long as the Daqian court can maintain stable logistics support, it can defeat all the armed forces of the Hu tribes outside the Great Wall, and even establish a certain degree of ruling influence on the grassland, even if it uses a stronghold to fight a dull war.

Just with this answer, if the examiner dared not to give a high score, Jia Huan would have the confidence to go directly to their home and ask: "Is it cheating?"

In short, the martial arts examination was quite easy and simple for Jia Huan!
After the exam, when Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan asked them how they went, he just smiled and said nothing.

You can't be arrogant and say that this exam is extremely easy. If you don't get in the top three, you will be sorry for your efforts. I'm afraid these guys will be angry to death.

Within a few days, the test results came out, which was quite fast.

Not unexpected at all, Jia Huan is the first name again and can be called "Wu Jieyuan"!
The news spread like wind to the ears of the powerful people in the capital, immediately causing a sigh of relief.

Even a fool can see that with Jia Huan's momentum, as long as there is no problem in the Jinshi examination next fall, he will not be able to get at least a rank in the Three Tripods.

The momentum of Jia Huan's martial arts examination was even greater than that of Jia Cong!
Maybe, his future future will be no worse than Jia Cong’s!

At this time, Jia Cong was going smoothly in suppressing bandits in the Central Plains and encountered almost no trouble.

News has spread in the palace that after Jia Cong sweeps away the banditry in the Central Plains, he will be able to directly assume the position of a third-grade general and become the youngest senior general in the Great Qian Dynasty!
Such news naturally arouses the envy of many noble disciples, who wish they could take their own lives!

But there are not many people who are jealous!

Anyone who knows something about leading troops in battle will know that Jia Cong's achievements are not just blown away.

Suppressing bandits in the Central Plains is actually not as easy as imagined!
Jia Cong and his 3,000 troops would naturally have no problem facing simple banditry, and they could be described as devastating.

But the problem is that the troubles arising from banditry are the most difficult to deal with.

Famous bandits basically have close ties with local powerful people and Jianghu forces.

Some serious problems are that local officials have been dragged into the water, and these forces are the biggest obstacle.

Fortunately, this was the middle period of the Daqian Dynasty, and the local government and powerful forces had not yet become too big to be defeated.

As for the Jianghu forces, there is no extraordinary existence where one person can serve as an army, otherwise things may be very difficult.

When Jia Cong arrived at the place, he could not deal with the local officials, or he could temporarily block the interference of local powerful people and focus on suppressing bandits.

But even so, sometimes we have to face interference from Jianghu forces!

In some places that are not conducive to the deployment of the army, the energy that Jianghu people can exert is much stronger than that of scouts in the army. It is not an exaggeration at all.

Although the world of Red Mansion is a world of low martial arts, it is also a place where internal strength and internal strength exist.

Some of the top masters in the world are still very fearful and troublesome!

Fortunately, Jia Huan provided Jia Cong with enough martial arts masters, and each of them had extraordinary martial arts skills, which helped Jia Cong block many troubles from the world.

Not only that, but they often play a key role in attacking dangerous mountain strongholds.

In this way, in conjunction with the frontal attack of the army, we can achieve smooth sailing without restraint!
Jia Cong himself is just a strong warrior with strong martial arts skills, not a top master in the world!
When encountering certain things, the energy he can exert is also limited.

The same is true. Some long-standing banditry in the Central Plains area has basically been eliminated by Jia Cong. This is also the main reason why Long Yan is so happy today. Jia Cong did a great job.

At the same time, Jia Cong's suppression of bandits was not simple. Many local officials in the Central Plains region were affected and suffered bad luck. This can be regarded as helping to clean up the officialdom of the Central Plains.

Such an easy-to-use sword, if we don't reward it properly today and promote Jia Cong's official position, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the generals in the army?

Outsiders don't care how much effort Jia Cong has put in and how many dangers he has encountered. What they see will always be the most glorious side of Jia Cong.

Jia Cong, who is about to become a high-ranking military commander, is enough to be envied and jealous by others.

At present, Rong Mansion is likely to have another young martial arts practitioner like Jia Cong. It is impossible not to attract attention. After all, the current martial arts competition is still quite attracting attention.

The Rong Mansion is naturally very happy, at least on the surface!
Mr. Zheng Er was so happy that he kept saying that there was hope for Rong Mansion to regain its glory. Mrs. Wang, the aunt's aunt, made her stance clear and threatened to hold a celebration banquet for Jia Huan, which would require at least three days of flowing water. , otherwise we would be sorry for Jia Huan’s good results.

It was rare for the old lady to be merciful and she invited Jia Huan to Rongqing Hall to praise him.

No matter what they think in their hearts, Jia Huan's passing into Wu Jieyuan is naturally a great thing for everyone in the Rong Mansion.

Fortunately, Jia Huan's mind was still clear and he knew that it was not a good time to get carried away yet.

He didn't dissuade the family from holding a banquet to celebrate, but he just proposed to hold a banquet internally. Just invite some old relatives and some close relatives and friends. There was no need to set up a flowing banquet.

Mr. Zheng Er supported his low-key behavior, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't do anything wrong.

After all, Jia Huan was already considered a member of the officialdom at this time.

As long as he is willing, he can directly join the army at this time and become a middle-low military attache in the army!
It can be said that the class has been directly crossed, and the white body is no longer the same as before.

In this era of officialdom, Jia Huan's status at this time is enough to prevent the old lady and Mrs. Wang from making too many mistakes. After all, the situation is different.

Not to mention, if they want to control Jia Huan, they have only filial piety as a means.

If this thing is used well, it will naturally be invincible, and it can even make Jia Huan fall into the abyss directly, and there will be no possibility of getting up in the future. This is the case in the officialdom.

But after all, Jia Huan is already a clan member who has left the mansion, and he is more restricted by the clan.

However, the Ning Mansion, which controlled the power of the Jia clan in the capital, had a very cold relationship with the old lady and Mrs. Wang, which could even be said to be bad.

Without the blessing of clan power, the old lady and Mrs. Wang would have much less restraint on Jia Huan.

Besides, their brains were not flooded. Why were they making trouble with Jia Huan for no reason?
It's better to build a good relationship, maybe you can still play an important role at critical moments in the future!

Coupled with the attention of the second master Zheng, Jia Huan's influence and voice in Rong Mansion were much greater a few years after he left the government than before he left the government. It is really unpredictable in the world.

Jia Huan did not act aloof, but enthusiastically accepted the kindness of the core people of Rong Mansion.

Whether it was hosting a celebration banquet or inviting a theater troupe to perform, Jia Huan was at the mercy of the Rong Mansion's arrangements, as long as it did not affect his daily routine.

In addition to the enthusiasm in the mansion, other noble families with whom he was friends also sent invitations one after another, inviting him to their respective mansions, and they were all very enthusiastic.

this is the truth!
In the past, although it was not difficult for Jia Huan to go to other noble mansions, it was impossible to gain the attention of the head of the family or even receive him personally. However, now he has easily achieved his goal.

Needless to say, this is the reason why the core members of the noble family in Beijing are optimistic about his future, otherwise it would not be so easy to get their attention.

Jia Huan did not refuse the kindness of these noble families!
From the time when the results of the martial arts exam came out, until the cold twelfth lunar month when the New Year was coming, he spent his time attending the family banquets of various distinguished families.

I go to one every few days, eat and drink, keep in touch with each other, and most of the time it's just a familiar sight.

It doesn’t take much thought. Sometimes as long as you get up to speed quickly, more help will naturally come to you.

At this time, the whereabouts of his prospective father-in-law Lin Ruhai became completely clear.

Just as the time entered the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court officially issued a transfer order, appointing Lin Ruhai as the chief envoy of the Central Plains Province. He took office within half a month after receiving the transfer order.

The order came very suddenly!

Although there have been quite obvious signs before, it is still very puzzling to see this coming when the twelfth lunar month is about to enter. The situation in the Central Plains is relatively stable, isn't it?

"The one we are on guard against now is the south!"

Lin Ruhai explained privately: "We have ideas for the salt tax and other taxes now!"

"It's just that you also know the situation in the south. It's not that easy to get the local tycoons and aristocratic families there to cede their interests!"

"No, let's first replace the chief envoy of the Central Plains who has good relations with certain forces in the south!"

"Of course, the officialdom in the Central Plains is also very chaotic and needs to be cleaned up!"

"I don't believe it. Brother Cong didn't write to you and told you that the water is very deep!"

Jia Huan said he understood. After all, his father-in-law-to-be, Lin Ruhai, had warned him a long time ago, but he didn't expect the court to be so eager and not even let Lin Ruhai have a good life.

"As for Sister Lin, will you move to Rongfu before the Chinese New Year, or after the Chinese New Year?"

He changed the subject and asked, "If you want to move, just say hello and I'll come over to help!"

"It's the New Year, and I can't celebrate the New Year in the capital!"

Lin Ruhai said helplessly: "When Daiyu arrives at Rong Mansion, you will take good care of her!"

"That's what it should be!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I will still have a gift for Sister Lin then. I guarantee that Sister Lin won't have to worry about anything else and won't be too sentimental!"

"That's good, I can take office with confidence!"

Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction and asked directly: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Hehe, as long as my uncle can ensure the smooth flow of the canals in the territory and prevent local forces from the Central Plains from interfering with the normal operation of my men and the Xue family's caravan!"

"This is easy to handle!"

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "I'm worried that you will be blinded by interests and do some irrational and impulsive behavior, which will be bad!"

Jia Huan's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "Is the matter that uncle is referring to related to Prince Zhongshun's palace?"

"What do you say?"

Lin Ruhai did not answer the question and said calmly: "Prince Zhongshun's behavior is a bit confusing, but it is precisely because of this that we should be more careful!"

"Uncle, don't worry, Prince Zhongshun and I are just having normal business dealings!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "As for the rest, I don't know anything about it!"

But in his heart, he couldn't help but curse loudly. Prince Zhongshun was such a useless snack. He actually showed such a big flaw that even his uncle Lin Ruhai, who didn't pay much attention to government affairs, knew about it.
