Chapter 054: Take the First Step
This house in Jinling is similar to the ancestral house of the Lin family, it is a super mansion built in accordance with the marquis system, although now because the title is not enough, many places that have been trespassed have been sealed, and a lot of them have been renovated, but you can still see the style of the year.
There is no problem with this Lin mansion, too, Master Lin sent someone to invite two waves of masters to look at this mansion respectively, if there is still a problem, then Lin Liu doesn't know what to say.
It can only be said that the sky is going to die in the Lin family!
After waiting for everything to be cleaned up, it was already the end of the year, and Master Lin got a news that was not particularly good or bad, and Jiangning Weaving had changed people again!
After the emperor killed the ministers, Jiang Ning Weaving has changed very frequently, and now there have been four people, and the one in front has only been sitting for less than half a year, and now he has been removed and replaced with a new official.
Master Lin's official position and weaving have an intersection, and he naturally attaches great importance to the news in this regard, after all, frequent weaving is not a good thing for him.
Then why is this news not bad, it is because the incoming Jiangning Weaving named by the emperor is Jia Daishan, who is considered a world friend of the Lin family, and the two families have a certain friendship, and I believe it should not be difficult to cooperate.
"Didn't Jia Shibo serve as the pacification envoy of Suzhou County, how could he suddenly become Jiangning Weaving?" Lin Ruhai frowned and asked, now that he is ten years old, he already has a say in these matters.
Not to mention that Lin Ruhai is strange, Lin Liu is also strange, according to what Master Lin said before, this Jia Daishan is obviously not the henchman of the emperor, otherwise he is obviously a good hand in the war but serves as a pacifier. Although the pacification envoy also belongs to the position of the army, he belongs to the category of superintendent, just like the political commissars of later generations and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, and does not have the right to lead troops to fight. The emperor seized Jia Daishan's military power and put him in the position of pacification envoy, which is obviously degraded!
But at this time, Lin Liu was confused again, the weaving is not the emperor's henchmen are not competent, the three major weaving in Jiangnan look at the other two, one is the emperor's grandmother, the other is the queen mother's clansman, and the relationship with the emperor is close, what ability does this Jia Daishan have to suddenly become Jiangning weaving.
"I don't know, maybe I did something to satisfy the Son of Heaven." Master Lin shook his head and said, Jia Daishan's father Jia Gong is a confidant of Emperor Tai/Zong, and Jia Gong died in the rescue, Jia Daishan is also a royalist with strong roots, but he is not related to the emperor, so it is not particularly prominent, but Jia Daishan has real skills, and it is not strange for the emperor to reuse him.
After all, not every relative can have the ability of Wei Qing and Wang Mang, and more of them are mixed and eaten in the dead fish and meat township, there are many important positions in the court, and it is impossible for the emperor to appoint relatives in every position, so even if the relatives have the ability, they will be attacked by the group.
For this matter, Master Lin also said that, after all, Jia Daishan had to take office after the New Year, and there was actually no big relationship between weaving and him, so Master Lin would leave this matter behind. Speaking of which, I don't know if Old Master Lin was lucky or unlucky, he was promoted during the inspection of the official department, and his predecessor had left several months ago, so there were a lot of things for Old Master Lin at the end of the year, fortunately, he had done this before, and Master Lin did not let them leave, and he was busy until Chinese New Year's Eve and finally got everything right.
This year, as in previous years, it was solemn and cumbersome and lively, and Lin Liu still had various expectations during the first year of the New Year, of course, the most anticipated was the red envelope given by Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, but every year is the same process and content, and this year will be tasteless.
Fortunately, there are only five masters in the family, including Aunt Gu, in addition to banqueting foreign guests, the ministers can't hold it up, if it is like in the ancestral tomb of the Lin family, the ceremony of worshipping the ancestors alone will have to be done for several days, and people will be tired to death.
But even so, this New Year is really not easy, and he has survived until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, and he wants to see that everyone is going to be relieved, but he doesn't want Lin Ruhai to drop a bomb that night.
Don't panic, Lin Ruhai, who is only ten years old, will definitely not be able to play any elopement, such a humiliating and fatal drama, he was stimulated by Lin Xiao's going to take the exam in February and then go to the peak of his life, with Lin Ruhai's current level, it is naturally impossible to take the exam, not to mention the level, he is not qualified to participate.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai is ready to retreat and embark on the first step of the imperial examination - the county examination!
Although the county examination claims that as long as they are "innocent, not the children and grandchildren of prostitutes, and have not committed crimes themselves", they can participate in the county examination, but in fact, there is still a hidden condition, that is, to ask the county's talents and above to have a guarantee, called "guarantee", to ensure that they do not impersonate, do not hide, do not substitute, and do not have a false name. And one is not good, you have to have two, and it is especially important to note that the people within the five suits of the family are not able to subscribe to the insurance, and the insurance can only be admitted to the exam after being confirmed by the instructor in the local county government.
This matter is nothing in the Lin family, Master Lin can find someone to get it for Lin Ruhai in minutes, but it is difficult to leave it in the ordinary people, no one else knows why should you give you insurance, if something goes wrong with this matter, the person who admits insurance will also have to sit unlucky.
That's why this Shidao Academy will be so popular, not just a matter of knowledge and connections, but something like this kind of guarantee, just like the admission ticket for the college entrance examination in later generations, the academy can directly run it for you, and you don't have to worry about it there in private.
For those who have a little extra money, if they want to study and improve, it is really a good way to go to the academy, at least many things can be easily solved.
"How did you come up with the idea of going to the county exam?" Master Lin asked in some surprise, although the two children, Master Lin, did not send them to the academy to study, but put them by his side to teach, but he still knew the usual study status of the two, and there must be no problem in the county exam, Master Lin was surprised why Lin Ruhai suddenly had this idea.
Generally speaking, if the father is a high-ranking official, then the son will not be an official, even the imperial examination will be pressed to take the exam, so as not to be too eye-catching.
Master Lin was like this before, because Old Lady Lin not only had a title but also a scholar, so he was only a person in his twenties, so the Lin family almost couldn't pick it up. It's not that he doesn't have the ability to take the exam, but to avoid suspicion.
