Chapter 288: Collecting Wealth (Asking for Subscription)
The big man's eyes are good!
When I went to the court, I clearly saw that there was hesitation and scrutiny in the eyes of those civil officials today, and I couldn't help but smile secretly.
In the next few days, there was a lot of fun in the officialdom of the capital.
It is rumored that several cabinet elders in today's cabinet have been severely reprimanded by today's mistakes and omissions, and they are so embarrassed.
In addition, there are some important ministers of the civilian bureaucracy, who have also been inexplicably reprimanded today.
For a while, everyone in the officialdom in the capital was in danger, and they didn't know what kind of madness was happening today?
When the news reached the ears of the eldest master, he only smiled lightly and listened to it as a joke.
On that day, he told the Shijia Shuanghou about the imperial examination, and with the strength of the eldest master, he naturally knew that the wall had ears, and it could only be today's manpower.
Anyway, it's not about his own secrets, so the eldest master naturally doesn't mind firing the cannon.
Whoever is the emperor, after listening to the words of the eldest master, he can't feel better, not to mention that his words are the truth, and he is not deceitful at all.
used to be an official in Su Province, as the chief official of a place, although the eldest lord was not responsible for education and imperial examinations, but the literary style in the south of the Yangtze River was prosperous, and the intelligence spies under him were not vegetarians, so it was easy to detect some clues.
The political envoy has a lot of resources in his hands, and he also knows a lot of hidden things, just a little series of comparisons, you can detect some secrets of the Jiangnan imperial examination.
What I said to the Shuanghou of the Shi family and the side branch of the Wang family is definitely not an exaggeration.
In the imperial examination in Soviet Province alone, the eldest master went through two rounds, and most of them were all students from academies around the country, not that they did not have real materials, but the children of the poor families who were suppressed by them were not as unbearable as they imagined.
The Jiangnan region has a prosperous literary style and a fairly developed economy, and the economy is more prosperous after the great lord took charge of the Soviet Province.
The local people and squires attach great importance to the education of their children, even if the strength of the gentlemen they can invite is not as strong as that of the academy, but how many geniuses are there in the vast Soviet Province?
They may not be as good as the academy players in terms of examination experience, but their talent and writing skills are not bad at all, and at most they are slightly negligent.
But in this case, all the poor geniuses who did not join the academy were rarely able to hit it in one fell swoop.
Oh, if you are not too famous and have a lot of talent for exams, it is difficult to get the approval of the examiner and become a real lifter.
Either they join a certain academy, or they have to endure their lives, waiting for the examiner of that class to show mercy and let the poor genius who has already gray temples pass the test.
The reality is so cruel!
It's a pity that the eldest master is only a political envoy and not a governor, otherwise he would be qualified to meddle in the imperial examination in Jiangsu Province, not to mention the disadvantages of the imperial examination, at least he has to give the poor genius a chance to get ahead.
These things are true, there are records in the database collected by the eldest master, if he is unhappy one day, or unhappy with the people and things in Su Province, he can directly send it to today's desk to kill many people.
Don't look at the civil officials, it seems that it is difficult to be hereditary, but through the link of the academy, they can give the children of civil officials who have achieved the imperial examination the best way back, as long as the family does not decline, there will always be a time for recovery.
This is also the source of the envy of many martial artists, they only see that the scholarly family has been unfading for a hundred years, but they have not seen the real tricks played by these literati.
The reason why the eldest lord secretly informed the present day was naturally to let the current day involve the energy of Jing Wenchen.
The Jia family learned to pass the twelve talents in one go, although the impact on the civil power was minimal, but it was difficult to keep the guys of the civil official group who couldn't see it, and wanted to secretly stumble on the Jia clan's learning.
The eldest master himself is not afraid, but the Jia clan will inevitably be hit hard.
How to say it, it was all the career that he spent some effort to come up with, if the Jia clan didn't learn to be angry, it would be fine, and others would have to ask the eldest master if he wanted to do it?
Simply, before the Beijing Chinese official has made a move, give them some fun, don't always blame others for their mistakes, I really think you guys are good birds.
……
As the major noble families in Beijing imitated the Jia clan and changed the teaching method since the family study was reorganized, the market in the entire capital was much more peaceful.
There is no way, in the past, those prodigal sons who were messing around outside and not doing good deeds were all escorted by the family rulers to the clan school reform.
If they can't learn a craft to make a living, or can't practice a good martial arts, don't expect to graduate from the clan study, and they will have to marry a wife and have children in the clan no matter how old they are, and if they want to inherit their parents' inheritance in the future, they will also have to look at their performance in the clan study.
For a time, the major noble families were full of mourning, and the Jingcheng City was naturally much more peaceful after the lack of the most troublesome swinger brother.
The eldest master helped the Shi family and the Wang family set up a joint school outside the city, specializing in teaching the children of the two clans, and the supervisors invited were all veterans in the army.
On the other hand, the Jia clan study suddenly became famous, and the number of relatives who wanted to send their children to school suddenly skyrocketed.
Lian Er and Wang Xifeng didn't dare to mess around, they didn't dare to mess around at all before they knew the eldest master's thoughts.
The eldest lord is the pillar of the big house, and now even fools can see that ethnology is a place that the eldest lord pays special attention to, and the second couple dare not interfere indiscriminately.
On this day, Lian Er returned to his house and just walked into the main house of Rongxi Hall, even Wang Xifeng sat there with an ugly face, puffing and puffing quite unpleasantly.
"Yo, who provoked Feng Lazi's dislike, this is a bad luck rhythm!"
Lian Er came over with a smile and said curiously: "Second grandmother, which daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who are not long-eyed provoked your old man?" ”
"Hmph, it's not my good aunt, it's going to cause me trouble!"
Wang Xifeng looked unhappy, and said angrily: "She has received a lot of benefits from relatives, and she should give me the matter of their children entering the clan to learn to study!" ”
"What?"
Lian Er was taken aback and said dissatisfied: "The second wife is really real, she dares to make any money, you didn't agree, right?" ”
"At that time, I was in Rongqing Hall, and the old lady looked at it, I naturally had to deal with it if I lost or not!"
Wang Xifeng said depressedly: "After I came back, I pondered, isn't this my good aunt's job, isn't this really in a good mood!" ”
In other words, after the eldest master took away Sister Qiao, Wang Xifeng's original wavering mind fell completely on the side of the big house.
With Sister Qiao'er's concern, even if Wang Xifeng's heart is vicious, he will not be coaxed by Mrs. Wang, and will naturally put the interests of the big house first.
"Hey, I'm in big trouble this time!"
Lian Er didn't blame his daughter-in-law, and said bitterly: "It's not good to stuff people indiscriminately over there, a bad one will annoy the eldest master!" ”
"What, isn't it just a matter of stuffing a few relatives' children into school, what's the big deal?"
Wang Xifeng was very disapproving, and continued: "Besides, are there still fewer children from relatives in the clan study? ”
"Oh, my second grandmother, you don't know!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly: "There are indeed many children of relatives in the clan school, but before they go to school, they have signed a contract with the clan school, once they behave too poorly and are punished by the husband, and they are also dropped out of the clan school, they are not allowed to make noise, otherwise the clan will be closed to their children forever!" ”
"So harsh?"
Wang Xifeng was taken aback, and said unconcernedly: "Then let those relatives continue to sign the contract!" ”
"They won't sign it!"
Lian Er said depressedly: "With the second wife to help them speak, those slick relatives will not let go of such an opportunity, and they will definitely bargain!" ”
"Why?"
Wang Xifeng didn't understand, and said angrily: "Where did they get the courage?" ”
"The second wife has accepted the benefits of their filial piety!"
Lian Er said angrily: "If they don't sign the contract, the second grandmother still dares to drive their children away?" ”
Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "They dare? ”
"If you dare, you'll know if you try it!"
Lian Er shook his head and said depressedly; "I don't know what the second wife thinks, clan studies are disciples of cultivating the younger generations of the clan, not a tool for her to collect money!"
Sure enough, as Lian Er expected, when Wang Xifeng contacted the relatives who went through the back door and hinted that they wanted to sign a normal contract with the clan school, he was categorically vetoed.
These relatives also have some financial resources, not only are they unwilling to sign that kind of unreasonable contract with the clan school, but also strongly demand that their children must be sent to the serious school part to read the four books and five classics to take the imperial examination.
Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded, saying that she couldn't be the master.
These relatives, who had paid a lot of money, were suddenly annoyed, and one by one they went directly to the second room to find Mrs. Wang, asking Mrs. Wang to give an explanation.
At this time, the Rongguo Mansion was much stronger than the same period in the original book, and these relatives really had a lot of money with the help of the power of the Rongguo Mansion.
In the past, the Jia clan was simply a place of chaos, and these relatives with surplus wealth naturally looked down on it, but now the situation is completely different.
The Jia clan has completely made a name for itself, and these relatives with considerable financial resources are naturally jealous and want to send their children to the clan for training.
However, the ethnography they found out made them quite dissatisfied.
The contract of paper is just a contract to be dealt with by the gentleman, but the clan has the power to transfer students to the branch schools at any time, which makes them unhappy.
Who's family sends their children to study, not for the imperial examination, if because of the indiscriminate transfer of clan studies, they must not cry to death if they send their children to the Baigong School?
As a result, the relatives who were well aware of the style of the Rongguo Mansion resorted to the means of money to open the way.
Lian Er and Wang Xifeng on the big room are cautious, but Mrs. Wang on the other side of the second room is an open-eyed person, and no matter what the relatives ask, they agree to it after taking the money, regardless of whether they can do it or not.
Mrs. Wang is Mrs. Wang after all, and she just used a little trick to make Wang Xifeng sit on wax.
