Chapter XXXVII
"Third brother, tell me the truth, do you still have a recipe for making money?"
Jia Lian didn't have the heart to go around in circles with Jia Cong, and said straight to the point: "Brother, I am not an unreasonable person, and you must be indispensable for your benefit!" ”
It's really strange to say, there are more people who have read books, how can Jia Cong, this kid, come up with a recipe that can make money from books?
"I really have something, I want to ask Second Brother Chain for help!"
Jia Cong didn't have any appetite anymore, and said directly: "The homework of several of my younger brothers is not bad, I hope that the second brother of the chain will help them get the qualifications to participate in the children's exam!" ”
Speaking of this, he was also quite helpless.
There were too many rules for the imperial examination in the feudal era, and a single examination qualification could turn many low-level scholars away.
The lowest level of the child test in Nima District also requires more than two senior children to be sure, and all kinds of complete materials in the clan are required to be eligible to participate.
With the energy of Rongguo Mansion, it is not difficult to get the qualification to participate in the children's life test, but Jia Cong is not able to use the resources of the mansion.
To be honest, he didn't want the bigwigs of Rongguo Mansion to know.
The entire Jia clan has eight rooms in the capital, and the number of clansmen is hundreds.
Could it be that among them, there are really few talents who can get their hands on it, how is it possible?
However, except for Ning Rong's two mansions and one lineage, the rest of the clansmen were born dependent on the two mansions, and none of the clansmen could really stand out at all.
In this, if there is no idea of conspiracy, Jia Cong will not believe it.
Even if the Jia clan has eight rooms in the capital, all of them are waste, and there are really no talents, isn't there a single outstanding clansman in the twelve rooms in Jinling?
You must know that the literary style in Jiangnan is prosperous, and the local heroes attach great importance to the children's reading progress.
The Jia clan is a strong family in Jinling, and there are many sacrificial fields dedicated to supporting the clansmen and clansmen, as long as the brain is not watered, the teaching quality of Jinling ethnology will not be too bad.
Could it be that since the founding of Daqing, there has been no talent in Jinling's hometown?
It is estimated that even if there are talents in the Jia family, as long as they are not descendants, they will be suppressed from the possibility of coming out.
After a long time, the people of the side tribe could not see hope, and life was still passable, and the atmosphere of the entire clan was completely defeated.
Of course, these are just his guesses, and as for whether this is the case or not, Jia Cong is not clear.
But he can be sure that as the most powerful tycoon in the mansion, the old lady and the second wife are definitely not happy to see that the people of the Panzhi clan have the opportunity to pass the imperial examination.
According to their ideas, at least they have to wait for the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu to come out, and then let the people of the side branch come forward to assist.
As for whether this will affect the power of the Jia clan, it is not within their consideration at all.
According to Jia Cong's thoughts, it is best for a few younger brothers under him who may pass the Tongsheng test quietly without attracting the attention of the government.
Originally, I was going to try it out with the eldest lord to see if I could say that the eldest lord would help.
How to say it, the eldest lord is a first-class general, the eldest son of the last generation of Rongguo Gong, the energy in his hands is definitely not small, and it is quite easy to help a few people from the side tribe quietly get the qualification to participate in the children's examination.
I don't want Jia Lian to come directly, how can I make good use of it?
"What, how could you kid have such an idea?"
Sure enough, Jia Lian was taken aback when he heard this, and said angrily: "Shouldn't such a thing be brought forward by the clan study?" ”
Ethnography ......
Jia Cong retorted angrily: "It would be nice if the clan could help, but I'm afraid that I can't help it, and I have to pull back!" ”
Without waiting for Jia Lian to ask, he honestly recounted the specific situation of ethnology, especially the attitude of Mr. Jia Dairu.
Ignoring Jia Lian, who was so stunned that he was stunned, he couldn't help but sneer: "Sometimes I really wonder if Mr. has a grudge against the Jia family!" ”
This is quite serious, especially Jia Cong's accusation, it is still Jia Dairu who is a generation, if it is spread, Jia Cong's reputation will directly stink on the street.
"Ethnology, has it really collapsed to such an extent?"
Although Jia Cong described it in great detail, Jia Lian still refused to believe it, shook his head and said, "This, how is it possible?" ”
Especially Jia Dairu's perfunctory attitude to teaching, he couldn't help but feel on fire just listening to it. I really can't believe that Jia Dairu, the only famous person in the generation, has become like that.
If the thing is true, Jia Cong's words are really not wrong at all, does Jia Dairu have an enmity with the Jia family, and harm the children of the clan so much?
In addition, he also expressed serious doubts about whether Jia Cong's younger brother has the ability to participate in the imperial examination.
"I don't care if Second Brother Lian believes it or not, but I absolutely don't want to let the clan study interfere in the affairs of the younger brothers' participation in the imperial examination!"
Jia Cong said very bluntly, without hiding it at all, pointed in the direction of Rongqing Hall, and said helplessly: "It's best not to let the house know, otherwise I'm afraid there will be complications!" ”
"The third brother is too worried, how can there be any complications in the house?"
Jia Lian's face was not very good-looking, and he said helplessly: "This is definitely a good thing for Rongguo Mansion!"
"But it's not a good thing for the second brother Bao who is still in the back house at the age of ten and is not happy to go to school!"
Jia Cong directly pointed out the key point, and said leisurely: "When it comes to the vital interests of the second brother Bao, I'm afraid that the old lady and the second wife will not agree!" ”
Jia Lian was speechless for a while......
set off a turbulent wave in his heart, looked at the tall and sturdy young man opposite, and felt indescribably strange, as well as surprised,
Someone with a heart......
Jia Lian can be sure that this kid Jia Cong is definitely a caring person.
If you don't have a scheming, I'm afraid it's hard to notice the twists and turns, and in the end, not only will you hurt others, but you will also have to get in.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew very well in his heart the weight of Jia Baoyu's phoenix egg in the eyes of the old lady.
Perhaps, for the sake of Jia Baoyu's so-called future in the future, he will directly suppress the imperial examination journey of Jia Cong's younger brother.
"If my brother and I help, what benefit can the third brother come up with?"
After pondering carefully for a while, Jia Lian felt that he could still do what his brother wanted, but he also had to take a certain risk, if Jia Cong couldn't get enough benefits, the matter would end there.
"Honeycomb coal!"
Jia Cong smiled and spoke, and said in a relaxed and leisurely tone: "A kind of briquettes mixed with certain materials can completely replace firewood, and the demand in the capital alone is enough to make Second Brother Chain eat!" ”
After speaking, he smiled and asked, "Second Brother Lian, what do you think?" ”
At this time, Jia Lian was already short of breath, his eyes quickly turned red, and he was dizzy and at a loss for a while by the huge benefits that Jia Cong said......
