Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 330 is not a fluke (please subscribe)

The fact that Xue Pan wanted to marry the concubine of the eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion only spread in a small area such as the Rong Mansion and the Xue family.

Originally, the Xue family was not a powerful family, so how could it attract the attention of outsiders?

So what if you have money?
There are many wealthy businessmen in the capital who are richer than the Xue family!

In fact, what the officials and people in the capital are most concerned about right now is the border war.

Including the war at the southwest border and the war at the northwest border.

The war in the southwest is too far away and there is no good news at all.

Even if it was expedited for 400 miles, it would still take more than three days to reach the capital.

Unless there are major results, it is impossible to cause a sensation among the officials and people in the capital.

At the moment, not many people are paying attention to the war in the southwest!
It’s not that the Southwest War is unimportant, but it has no direct or indirect interest entanglement with most officials and people in the capital, so how could it be talked about for so long?
That is to say, the current emperor and the founding noble group pay special attention to it.

In mid-March, a war suddenly broke out in the northwest frontier!

The news spread back to the capital and immediately caused a sensation in the capital.

The first thought in everyone's mind was that the Northwest Hu tribe, which had been harassed for a year or two, finally couldn't hold back and launched a sharp revenge.

In fact, the officials and people in the capital have been prepared for such a thing for a long time, but they are not panicked.

However, the news coming back from the northwest frontier made the officials and people in the capital not very happy.

The Hu people outside the Great Wall obviously exerted great force, and they even captured all the strongholds outside the Great Wall in one go.

At the same time, a hundred thousand barbarians invaded the border and stormed several Great Wall fortresses!
The border troops were stunned. For a while, they could only parry, but they didn't have much power to fight back.

For a time, the reports of the border war came like snow flakes, almost drowning the cabinet bosses and the current desks. The losses of the border army were quite heavy.

Originally, Wang Ziteng, who had made great achievements in patrolling the border defense, was restrained from moving due to the sudden border war, and could only stay in the border fortress to command the battle.

At this time, when the border war is getting serious, how can Wang Ziteng escape so easily?

If not, he might be labeled a 'deserter' when he returns home. Will he still have a future in the future?

It was at this time that Sun Shaozu, who was seriously injured by Xue Pan, received an order from the Ministry of War to quickly go to the border to report, and was reinstated to serve in the border army.

This is the result that Sun Shaozu wants most!
Although he was physically injured, he still asked his guards and stewards to take him out of the capital and rush to Datong.

The capital is too dangerous, so it would be safer to stay in Datong.

But what he doesn't know is that what awaits him is not the same domineering behavior as before, but that he has to go directly to the front line. He just doesn't know if he will come back alive?

A sudden battle broke out in the northwest frontier, attracting the attention of almost all officials and people in the capital.

For no other reason, the northwest frontier fortress is not far from the capital, which should be the main factor.

After all, the long-term peace of Daqian is not a joke, it is indeed the case.

Even the most elite frontier troops will inevitably have their combat effectiveness affected, which is quite normal.

As a result, encountering a fierce hammer from a horseman outside the Great Wall was really painful.

Looking at this situation, this frontier war will not stop for a while.

Time has not passed very long, and the imperial court has already felt great pressure.

It's not that the war was unfavorable, but that the military expenditures of the border troops during the war were as exaggerated as running water.

At the same time, a shortage of troops also began to appear on the border side.

There is no doubt that the border troops have the same shortcomings as the Daqian army!

For example, the situation of empty pay is not serious for the frontier army, but once it encounters a big war, it will be somewhat insufficient.

Originally, the border army adopted a defensive posture, and coupled with the issue of the court's control over the border army, the military strength was always stretched thin.

Normally we don't see much of a problem, but now that the barbarians outside the Great Wall are invading the border, a problem has arisen.

The city defense strength is barely sufficient, but the mobility strength is quite lacking.

Being beaten blindly is not in line with the current emperor's thoughts, and the generals dare not just be a coward.

In this case, the capital will need to deploy troops to support.

The current emperor was also decisive, and immediately began to mobilize the garrison troops from the northern towns, and then mixed some troops from the Beijing camp and rushed to the border fortress as soon as possible to provide support.

At the same time, major towns in the north also started mobilization with little movement.

The Beijing camp has an army of 200,000, but unfortunately it cannot act rashly.

At most, 50,000 troops could be mobilized, and they were greatly hindered by the cabinet.

It's not that the cabinet minister wants to cause trouble, but the situation in the Beijing camp is ahem. There have been many problems after the peace has been peaceful for too long. Especially after the rotation between the Beijing camp and the garrisons from various places stopped, various problems quickly grew.

Not to mention anything else, both the number of people and combat effectiveness are in a state of rapid decline.

This is because the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army are both in the hands of nobles and military generals. If they were controlled by civilian officials like Song and Ming Dynasty, the speed of degradation would be even more exaggerated.

The current Daqian Dynasty is at its peak in its mid-term. No matter the emperor or the cabinet ministers, they are not just beings who occupy the toilet and do nothing. It is inevitable to worry in their hearts. Under such circumstances, the Beijing camp naturally began to recruit troops.

At the same time, this year's Wu Jinshi examination has been moved forward.

Originally, according to tradition, it should be during the period after the Mid-Autumn Festival and the end of autumn.

But the current recruitment in the Beijing camp requires a large number of middle and low-level military attachés, and military examination is naturally a good way.

Therefore, this year's Wu Jinshi examination is directly scheduled to take place in May.

When Jia Huan received the news, he felt calm and not affected much.

When his strength reaches his level, it doesn't matter when the martial arts competition starts.

Now, he has united with the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce to get all his men up and running.

Through the Grand Canal and offshore transportation modes, food supplies were fully deployed from the south to the north.

Now, there is another great opportunity to make money from the imperial court!
Of course, this is definitely not a bad thing for the court.

If the big grain dealers in the south really control grain prices, the problem will be huge.

At least Jia Huan and the Xue family business jointly sell grain, and the prices will not be too outrageous. After all, they supply military rations.

At the same time, a large amount of grain reserves must be prepared to be transported to the open sea. No problems must occur during this period, otherwise it will be a major interference to the exploration of the open sea.

During this period, there was no need to mention the various interest struggles and fighting in the world.

In short, Jia Huan, in conjunction with the Xue Family Trading Company, took advantage of the opportunity to recruit troops from the Beijing camp and send a large number of troops to the border fortress for reinforcements, and made a good fortune, and the subsequent income will continue to flow.

Jia Huan didn't put too much thought into making money. After things got on track, he gradually let his subordinates take care of it. He focused on the upcoming Wu Jinshi examination.

Time has slowly arrived in April, and as the temperature rises, the capital also becomes lively.

The martial arts people who came from all over the country to take the martial arts examination made the inns in the capital a huge profit.

There are several martial arts training grounds specially set out by the emperor, which are bustling with people and shouting every day.

Here in Jia Huan, almost every day people from the martial arts department take the initiative to visit.

There is no way. Anyone who is not a fool knows that Jia Huan will definitely be able to pass the Wu Jinshi exam. It all depends on his final ranking. The main reason is that outsiders can't figure out his level of strength.

But Brother Tangkou, who is sure that he is a powerful martial arts master, is quite an exaggeration.

Even the martial arts people who came from the Central Plains and the Lianghu region dare not say that their strength has reached the level of a martial arts master.

As the number of martial arts candidates entering Beijing continues to increase, the faces of Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others are getting uglier day by day.

At first, they had the leisure to invite Jia Huan to a restaurant for a drink, but later they simply stayed at the martial arts studio at the entrance of Ningrong Street.

According to Feng Ziying, try your best at the last minute.

As the old saying goes, if you don't sharpen your weapon quickly in battle, it will be useless.

Besides, the martial arts gym here has all the training facilities, and there are many powerful martial artists competing and communicating, making it the best place for training.

At the same time, they also brought a steady stream of news to Jia Huan about foreign martial arts candidates.

For example, more than half of the martial arts candidates from the Central Plains and Lianghu regions who came to Beijing were lay disciples of Shaolin and Wudang. It's such an exaggeration.

As a well-known and powerful sect in the world, it is naturally also well-known and powerful in the local area.

The martial arts level is equivalent to the world of "Blue Blood Sword" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox". Shaolin Wudang is still very popular, at least their martial arts inheritance is quite good.

Feng Ziying lamented in front of Jia Huan that it was the existence of these Jianghu sects with martial arts heritage that severely squeezed the martial arts paths of his brothers, Wei Ruolan and others.

In terms of martial arts alone, these noble disciples are no match for them!

Unless there are people like Jia Cong and Jia Huan who are willing to work hard to practice.

But everyone comes from a wealthy family, but how many of them have such strong perseverance?
When he said this, the man spoke with a teasing tone. He had heard about Jia Cong's hard work and witnessed it with his own eyes.

But he had never seen Jia Huan's diligence.

After saying that, he winked and looked amused, causing all his companions to laugh.

In fact, everyone knew that Feng Ziying was clearly testing him!

While he really wants to find out Jia Huan's strength, he is also curious about Jia Huan's training methods to see if there is any chance to help himself and improve significantly in a short period of time!
Jia Huan chuckled and said: "If you can integrate all your daily exercises into your daily life, your strength will continue to improve!"

Then, he slowly revealed some of his 'cultivation experiences'.

Then, Feng Ziying and others turned pale and waved their hands to express that they could not learn.

Are you kidding? They are at the age where they like to play and are keen on all kinds of fun. How can they calm down and devote themselves to Buddhism and Taoism like monks, exercising all aspects of their bodies while walking, sitting and lying down? I'm in such a bad state that I really don't have the confidence to learn it.

"Sure enough, Brother Huan, it's really not a fluke that you succeeded!"

Feng Ziying sighed repeatedly, and her eyes changed when she looked at Jia Huan.
