Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1125 Lotus Academy

What Brother Sixteen can think of, Cao Yong naturally thinks of that.

Except for the nine beizi who make money well, which clan can have such great energy and hidden wealth is much thicker than the entire family background of ordinary clans.

It's just that Cao Yong is a little helpless in response to Brother Sixteen.

After Cui Houwen arrived in Qingyuan City, he took the land deeds and house deeds of several properties, and merged the properties inside and outside Qingyuan City into his hands.The manager of the shop has been changed all over again, and they all use people brought over from the capital, which seems to be a bit vigorous.

After going to Cao Yong to invite Ann, Cui Houwen went to the council hall with the name card of the sixteenth elder brother.

After a few days, it was reported that Mao Renxing committed suicide in prison.

When Zhu Zhilian learned of this, he sealed the case file.What he wanted was for the wicked to subdue the law, not to feud with the Prince Zhuang's mansion behind him.

The result is the desired result, and the process is still not to rule people according to law, but to demonstrate the strength of the palace.Zhu Zhilian was very disgusted, but he could only sigh and settle the matter.

Only Cao Yong knows what kind of consequences this will lead to.

Anyone can see that the death of Mao Renxing has the shadow of the sixteenth elder brother.The sixteenth elder brother gave Cao Yong a handwritten letter and solemnly apologized to him, saying that he owed him a favor.

This windfall seemed to be concealed by Brother Sixteen, but in fact it was exposed in front of others.It's just that after Brother Sixteen sent the head of the palace over, this matter changed from a private matter of Fujin Shiliu to a matter of the palace.

In the eyes of Concubine Yi and Fifth Elder Brother, Sixteenth Elder Brother was motivated by greed, seeing that Ninth Elder Brother was weak, so he swallowed up the windfall; Brother and others colluded, sorry for his trust.

In this way, Brother Sixteen is not a human being.

This is the sixteenth elder brother's decision, and Cao Yong is hard to say anything.

For this result, the most shocking thing is Xie Tianlai.

He didn't expect that what he thought would be a huge trouble would be resolved so easily.There was no other reason, but he took Mao Renxing very seriously, thinking that such a high-ranking steward would be appointed by the palace to help him.Unexpectedly, not only did the palace not pull it, but it became the king of Hades.

He is a donated official. From the day he came to Beijing to sell his official position, he was introduced to the Wangfu's line. Later, he was like a fish in water in the officialdom.

Every year, he finds an opportunity to go to Beijing and pay his respects to the palace. Although every time he goes to the palace, he has to offer real money, but he doesn't feel bad at all, and really regards himself as the palace's attachment.

For this reason, he also felt a little close to Mao Renxing, the "foreign manager" of the palace, and recognized his cousin in a corner, and walked around like his own family in the past few years.

Right now, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, Xie Tianlai had to think about other things.

At this time, Cao Yong took advantage of the vacancy of the Qingyuan City guard, and made a note, recommending the guerrilla Xie Tianlai as the Qingyuan City guard, and the guerrilla Liang Chuanfu as the supervising general.

Both of them were recommended from the third rank to the third rank, which is not too eye-catching.

The approval of the zhezi was very smooth, and within a few days, the Ministry of War issued an official document and called the two people to return to Beijing in turn to report on their duties.

Although it is a promotion, but Xie Tianlai only feels like crying but has no tears.He was promoted to the city guard and was still in Qingyuan City, but he left the governor and was no longer the direct line of the governor.

Seeing that both he and Liang Chuanfu have been promoted to the third rank, but the fate of the two will be different in the future.Liang Chuanfu has served as a supervisor for several years. If he votes for the contract of the Governor's Mansion, even if Cao Yong leaves Zhili, he will plan one or two for him.

No matter how entangled in his heart, Xie Tianlai still went to the governor's mansion to ask for an interview before going to Beijing to report his duties, and thanked Cao Yong for his recommendation.

If according to Cao Yong's original intention, the best of the two would be Xie Tianlai, who would be tactful and eye-catching; Liang Chuanfu would be hard to see through.

But after thinking about it, he still decided to keep Liang Chuanfu.

Seeing Xie Tianlai's solemn thanks, Cao Yong said with joy: "Rangxian has been in the third rank for several years, and he should be promoted. Qingyuan City is the same city as the Governor's Mansion and an important place in Zhili. Let it be handed over to Rangxian. Don't worry too."

Xie Tianlai saw Cao Yong with a friendly tone, only felt that there was some hope in the dark, half-truth and half-false gratitude and said: "Although the local government is more comfortable than the superintendent, the lower officials are unwilling to leave the governor's mansion. Even after leaving the Governor's Mansion, the lower officials will never forget the great grace of the Governor General's promotion."

Cao Yong smiled when he heard the words, and said: "It's not easy for a military officer to reach the third rank if the virtuous is not in the banner. It is not easy for the military officer to take the next step. Let the virtuous is in his prime, and he has to think about it early."

Xie Tianlai listened, but was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What is the meaning of the Lord Duxian?"

"If Rang Xian wants to go further, he still needs to seek official documents in Beijing!" Cao Yong said: "With the protection of the palace, I believe that Rang Xian will be like a fish in water in Beijing. The Sixteenth Master has always loved talents, as long as Rang Xian does not do things that violate the law and discipline. , the Sixteenth Master will definitely know the pearl with his eyes."

He is not a talkative person, but only because he saw that Xie Tianlai is smooth, rich, and has no greed, so he gave a few hints.

When Xie Tianlai heard the words, it was like enlightenment, and the resentment towards the Wangfu earlier was immediately reduced by several points.Yes, Mao Renxing's fate was miserable, but he deserved it.If he lived in peace, how could he become an outcast in the palace?

I have been "filial" to the palace for these years, and it is time to use my strength in the future, so I must not lose my care.He has already decided that when he returns to Beijing this time, he must personally pay his respects to the palace...

In a blink of an eye, at the end of the first lunar month, Chu Yu picked up Mrs. Li and his party to Qingyuan City.

In the west of the capital, apart from Hang Seng, only Eunuch Tian didn't like to move because of his age, and everyone else followed Mrs. Li out of Beijing.

The inner house of the Governor's Mansion suddenly became lively.

The official female family members who originally thought that the Governor's Mansion was too high-ranked and not easy to cling to, now they all stared at the Governor's Mansion as if they had eaten opium.

There is no other reason, but because the Governor's Mansion, in addition to a few sons and daughters born on the same day, also has the governor's adopted son and the governor's adopted sister, all of whom have reached the age of marriage.But after carefully inquiring about the identities of these people, I felt that some of them were not on the stage.

"Governor's righteous sister" let alone, she is the governor's younger sister.A teacher for a day, a father for life.This "righteous sister" was raised in the Governor's Mansion since she was a child, and she has deep feelings and a seniority.

Those two "adopted sons" are just the nephews of the governor's teacher, and the relationship is further away.

With the pretext of paying respects to the wife of the governor's mansion, the higher-ranking official family members in Qingyuan City brought more unrelated children to the governor's mansion to pay their respects.

Those who are more acquainted with Chuyu asked about Niuniu's marriage to Zuozhu's brother in a side-by-side manner.When they heard that Zuo Zhu had appointed the eldest daughter of the Shaoqing family in Dali Temple, everyone put away their contempt, not thinking about the status of the "adopted son" of the Governor's Mansion, but whether their family was qualified enough to marry.

Ma Jun has recovered. He came to Beijing years ago and happened to miss Cao Yong.Before Cao Yong left Beijing, he talked about his recovery in front of the thirteenth elder brother.

The thirteenth elder brother told him not to worry. When Ma Shilang was in court in his early years, he had some personal friendship with the emperor.Since Ma Jun is the heir of Ma Shilang, in view of his father's generation, the emperor will also take care of him.

For this reason, after Ma Jun returned to Beijing, he recruited the fourth-rank Shaoqing of Dali Temple.Considering his age and experience, this can be regarded as a lucky advancement.

When these "righteous sisters" and "adopted sons" arrived at the Governor's Mansion, apart from the official women in Qingyuan City, the rest were the staff and clerks of the Governor's Mansion.

Since they had inquired about the Governor's family affairs clearly, they naturally knew that Mr. Zhuang, whom Cao Yong called "a respectful teacher", was actually Cao Yin's aide for his son.Otherwise, the man would not be sent to the capital after Cao Yong entered the capital as a bodyguard.

Respect him as a teacher during his lifetime, and treat his bereaved relatives as relatives after his death.

Such a proprietor is exactly what those who are behind the curtain can't ask for.

For a while, all the staff also became excited. Apart from handling the errands at hand with due diligence, the rest was to stare at Cao Yong's most important Jiang Jian and Song Hou, wishing that they would make mistakes immediately so that they could replace them.

It's not that no one has thought of doing small tricks, but Jiang Jian and Cao Yong have the longest years, and everyone makes a living as a staff member, so they know the truth of being close and close, and dare not provoke him at will; the rest of Song Hou is a fine man The human spirit in the middle, as early as when everyone first arrived at the governor's mansion, they used methods to frighten everyone.

Cao Yong did not restrain the atmosphere of competition in the Governor's Mansion.

The governor is also in charge. He needs to take care of complicated affairs. He wishes to have a few more capable subordinates.

In Qingyuan City, there are quite a few officials above the fourth rank, but there are even more officials below the fourth rank.

In their eyes, the Governor's Mansion's family status is too high, and there is no way to cling to it.Given their rank and status, they have no other chance to enter the Governor's Mansion other than going to the Governor's Mansion to give gifts on three festivals and two birthdays.

However, now there is a good opportunity.

Several sons of the Governor's Mansion are enrolled in Lotus Academy.Although the news came out during the Chinese New Year, everyone was dubious when they heard it.

When Mrs. Tai of the Governor's Mansion and her party arrived, and the young masters went to the academy to meet the head of the mountain, everyone was sure that this was not a joke.

Above the officialdom, "Classmates", "Same Year", and "Fellow Township" are the three most important contacts.

It is a great opportunity for my nephew to be "classmates" with the governor's son and the governor's younger brother.

All of a sudden, Lotus Academy was full of people.

Forget about Song Hou, he has not been in Qingyuan City for a long time, and the number of people who talk to him is limited.The other Xu Shanzhang is a native of Qingyuan City. He is blocked wherever he goes, just to find a target to study in Lotus Academy.

Even if it is heard that the academy only accepts "children from poor families" and that if the conditions are not met, "student grants" are required, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd.

As if they were afraid that the delivery would be late and the academy would regret it, those people sent the money directly to the academy.

In just a few days, the academy has received more than a hundred children of officials and eunuchs who have signed up.This is only in Qingyuan City, and other places in Zhili gradually know the name of Lotus Academy.

It is not only the children of officials and eunuchs who participated in the grand event.

The local gentry in Qingyuan were also staring at this opportunity.

They didn't dare to snatch the places for the children of officials and eunuchs, but in the name of "righteousness", they forced Xu Shanchang to accept students.

Originally, Lotus Academy was donated by local gentry, and there was no reason to exclude the children of gentry from the students.Even if the children of the gentry do not meet the conditions of "students from poor families", at worst, they are the same as the children of officials and eunuchs, just pay a sum of money for their education.

As a result, in less than half a month, the academy received more than 10 taels of "study aid".With the rise of Lotus Academy's reputation in Zhili official circles, the amount of this student aid is still increasing...

Today is the last day of the double monthly pass, and Xiao Jiu begged for the support of the monthly pass.
