"Bohan, you must not have this idea, joining the army is going to die, how many of the children brought out by the King of Chu from Badong back then are still alive? Although our family hopes to be prosperous, it is not enough to choose the dangerous method of joining the army. This matter must not be brought up in front of your grandfather. ”

Jiang Yansi nodded half-knowingly.

"Father, the ancestral hall of the fallen and the tomb of the warriors erected by Ke Padang have a county order to take the lead in paying respects and cleaning up every year, and every time their families celebrate the New Year, the county government will go to send money and goods, how glorious is it? Besides, grandpa and King Chu also invested in the construction of an armory workshop, why can't Yan Hei join the army? ”

Jiang Fuquan looked at the immature Jiang Yansi and sighed softly: "Isolated in a poor country, aiming at the military country." Although the Jiang family is not an official eunuch, they also have to share worries and solve problems for the country and the king of Chu. But the army is about to go to the battlefield, on the battlefield, the sword and gun have no eyes, I don't know what will happen, if you have three long and two short, won't the hope of the Jiang family be destroyed? Therefore, you should still do your studies with peace of mind, and don't think about this unreasonable thing. ”

Jiang Yansi grew so big, and the first time he heard his father talk about these things for him, it seemed that another world had unfolded in front of him, where there was no overflowing fragrance of books, only the flames of war.

He really couldn't imagine how cruel and barbaric the war was. The mind of a fourteen-year-old child could not yet withstand the pressure of such a catastrophe.

Jiang Yansi was inexplicably frightened, as if suddenly, in the crops in front, in the mountain passes behind, in the grass on the left and right, and even in mid-air, countless people, robbers, and bandits would suddenly pour out, and they stabbed people in the chest with bright sharp knives. Hearts were cut out, blood-red hearts beating vividly in the palms of their hands, and they smiled hideously. While swallowing the human heart whole, he sharpened the knife back and forth on the corpse's body.

Jiang Yansi had a terrible daydream, his mind was too weak to withstand the slightest stimulus; His eyes were too clear to allow for a speck of dust. Under this bright red, a cool breeze blew from the other side of the field, and Jiang Yansi shrank. One hand grabbed the placket of his chest, and he shuddered.

The father and son talked all the way to the Xiangyong camp. The leader of more than 100 townsmen, of course, also has Zhu Pengliang's son Zhu Lejian.

The Zhu family does not have as "prominent" family background as the Jiang family, they are natives and farmers, and they rely on hard-working hands. After several generations of accumulation and reproduction, there is today's Zhu family.

Zhu Lezhen is not as knowledgeable as Jiang Fuquan. He didn't even know a few big words, he only had brute strength.

In Badong, Zhu Pengliang has a prestige that is not inferior to Jiang Jiliang, thanks to the huge size of the Zhu family.

Zhu Pengliang, who was elected by his neighbors as one of the leaders of the township, naturally did not personally take charge of the cumbersome training affairs.

Like Jiang Jiliang's arrangement, he chose to let his son do it for him.

And Zhu Lejian is different from Jiang Fuquan, Jiang Fuquan still wants to conduct scientific research, but Zhu Lejian is focused on training Xiangyong. He couldn't do anything but brute force. And this kind of ruthless thing is what he is most interested in.

Zhu Lejian and Jiang Fuquan also have the same place in their thoughts, they both hate the defeat of the remnants of the Han Kingdom for three reasons, one is that these remnants of the remnants of the army are defeated and brave, looting and burning. The second is that they have already suffered many casualties in the battle with the remnants of the defeated soldiers.

They are all Padang's children, and they don't see anyone when they look up, and any of them are killed or injured to make them uncomfortable.

Although Jiang Fuquan and Zhu Lezhen don't deal with each other much, Jiang Yansi and Zhu Lezhen's son Zhu Guichao hit it off at first sight, maybe because of their peers, or maybe Jiang Yansi has something suppressed in his heart that needs to be released.

Since then, the two have been wrestling in the camp and have forged a sense of brotherhood.

Baili Wuji's reform of the imperial examination system made Jiang Ji's conscience have a clearer goal.

But I don't know if Jiang Yansi was unlucky, or if he had problems with his on-the-spot performance, Jiang Yansi, who successfully passed the township test and county test, was stopped by the state test.

If you can't pass the state exam, you will lose the opportunity to enter the polymath.

failed two state exams in a row, not only Jiang Yansi was upset, but even Jiang Jiliang lost confidence.

But now it is different from the past, because Baili Wuji has been proclaimed emperor, established the Ming Kingdom, and the armory workshops have opened all over the land of the Ming Kingdom, and the wealth that comes from this is so much that Zhu and Jiang are unimaginable.

The most important thing is that the resulting social status has been looked up to by ordinary people.

is the county order, and even the history of the state capital, they have to give face to Zhu and Jiang.

Jiang Jiliang saw that Jiang Yansi had failed many attempts, so he used his brains, and he decided to find ways to send Jiang Yansi to the erudite school, even if it was to exhaust his family wealth, Jiang Jiliang knew that as long as there was a hundred miles of Mowgli in one day, there would be a place for the Jiang family in the Ming court.

And in order to successfully complete this matter, Jiang Jiliang started the idea of his old enemy Zhu Pengliang.

Combined with the financial resources and status of the two, there is always a way to open up the passage to the erudite institution.

When Jiang Jiliang met with Zhu Pengliang.

Zhu Pengliang agreed, but also put forward a condition, marriage.

Zhu Pengliang is not a fool, he has been fighting with Jiang Jiliang for decades, and naturally understands that Jiang Yanji will be able to stand on the branch one day, even if Jiang Jiliang's strength is not enough now, in a few years, he will still be able to enter the house, not to mention that he has a little incense with Baili Wuji.

And his son, honest Mune, gave birth to two boys and a girl, and the two grandsons are not reading materials, and there is no hope of entering the house, but if Jiang Yansi succeeds in entering the erudite house, then the Jiang family will overpower the Zhu family, this kind of thing, Zhu Pengliang knows it very well.

If you can't stop it, then you can only tie the two families together.

Marriage is undoubtedly the best way.

And the marriage proposed by Zhu Pengliang is different, what he proposed is a change of marriage, that is, Jiang Yansi marries his granddaughter Zhu Xiaoqin, and let his grandson Zhu Guichao marry Jiang Jiliang's granddaughter Jiang Yuping.

Only in this way can the in-law relationship between the two families be strong and unbreakable, and only in this way can the two families truly control the land of Padang.

This proposal of a strong alliance was approved by Jiang Jiliang.

Although Jiang Jiliang is not optimistic about Zhu Pengliang, there is nothing to give up about the future of the Jiang family.

Marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker, the life of the four children of the Zhu and Jiang families has been decided.

Padang County belongs to Guizhou Prefecture and belongs to the jurisdiction of Gangneung, and the state test was held in Gangneung Province.

Zhu and Jiang Heli, at the cost of 80,000 taels of silver, bought Gao Baomian, although Gao Baomian was not an examiner of the imperial examination, but the foundation of the Gao family in Jiangling is beyond doubt. (To be continued......)
