Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 315 Juan King Jia Cong
Lin Ruhai lifted up the stack of policy articles in his hand, and made a final evaluation.

"The article is a good article, but the things you write will only be drowned in the stack of discarded papers. And your name will be remembered by everyone. Unless the old and the new are replaced, you will never be in the examination room." Day of success!"

This is not Lin Ruhai's alarmist talk, Ren Rongguo's mansion is high and noble, Jia Congjian is in the emperor's heart, and those old scholars can't let those old scholars nominate him on the emperor's list.

This is the rule of Shilin officialdom, and the emperor has no way to let the civil service system give Jia Cong a reputation.

Jia Cong was a little depressed and bored after being scolded, and his whole body was listless.

Lin Ruhai looked amused at such a fat man, turned around and went to the inner hall, and came back with a few volumes of books after a while.

"This is the theory of those same years between me and me, from the beginning of the hospital examination to the palace examination. You go back and grind it carefully. Those years and I were all youthful, but I don't know how much cold water was poured on the examination room. In the end Only then did I understand what official rules are."

Jia Cong was a little dazed. After taking the book, he opened it and quickly browsed through two chapters. Sure enough, they were all flat and smooth, with substance but without the slightest edge, just like a tiger with sharp claws hidden in its appearance. .

"Uncle, it's amazing!"

Lin Ruhai smiled calmly: "Who wasn't a young man back then? How can a young man without vigor be called a young man? Study hard, hide your ambitions, and when you are qualified and capable one day, go and shout "God!" Change is not enough to fear, ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and people's words are not enough to be sympathetic."

Twenty years after Zhaowu, with the advent of the prosperous age, it seems that all the stars of Wenqu have descended to earth, and the entire country is full of talents, and a number of young talents appear in the capital like a blowout.

Jia Cong flipped through the book in his hand, these names and taboos were very familiar.

There is no one who can be called a friend of the same age as my father-in-law.

Huang Jue, who used to be a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, now participates in politics as Secretary Zuo, the chief envoy of Shaanxi.He once presided over the reincarnation ceremony of Uzangdu Sichanjiao King by order, single-handedly slaughtered the disloyal King Bilig, and quelled the rebellion.

Jin Yu, Minister of General Administration Zuo Tongzheng, Zhaowu 41 was ordered to inspect Guangdong and Guangxi, sank three invading Hongyi warships outside Guangzhou, and captured hundreds of Hongyi people.Forced Hongyi to sign a contract to compensate Daxia with 80 taels of silver.

Zhao Lixiang, once served as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, good at wealth and economics, was promoted to the shipping department of Jiangnan provinces and municipalities in the fifth year of Yuanyou, and presided over the affairs of the municipal shipping department.Cracking down on smuggling, recovering commercial taxes, and promoting open seas made the southern provinces' sea trade tax silver exceed the amount of land tax for the first time, and the annual capital tax silver was as high as 700 million taels.

……

There are several such characters in the book, and they are all members of the fourth rank at least. This made Jia Cong feel the fear of the word "friend" for the first time in the same year.

"Uncle, these same years of yours are now the mainstay of the court. I remember that Mr. Zhao just wrote a letter to expand the sea trade at the end of autumn, and advocated the strategy of opening the sea. Is it what you said, now that you have the qualifications and ability, It is no longer enough to shout out the saying that the change of the sky is not enough to be feared, the ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and human words are not enough to be sympathetic."

This kid's mind is really smart, Lin Ruhai smiled slightly: "Not only Brother Zhao's plan to open the sea, but also the reform of the land and the reform of the imperial examination system you mentioned before, have been written to His Majesty. No matter whether it can be done or not, at least first Put up the stage."

Make up!

Jia Cong instantly understood why the number of governors who returned to Beijing to report on their duties suddenly increased this year. Just one return from the land is enough for the governors from the northwest and southwest to return to Beijing to accept the emperor's inquiries and advice.

Panicked by the general situation, a huge storm will eventually be set off.

Lin Ruhai rubbed Jia Cong's head in relief, and said solemnly: "It took nearly 20 years for me and you to come to where we are today. I don't know if we can realize our ambitions. But we are no longer worried about having no successors. When you step into the officialdom, there will be no shortage of companions."

……

In the seventh year of Yuanyou's Zhengdan dynasty, there were fewer fights, and the sage seemed to be more at ease with the stubborn fourth son. Not only did he not accept the worship of the old courtiers, he even didn't participate in the palace banquet of the royal family.

Liu Heng gave a banquet to the officials in the palace as usual, and Jin Lin Ruhai's decree as the left servant of the household department was officially delivered to the Rongguo Mansion on the first day of the new year.

For a while, the Rongguo Mansion was full of people, but Lin Ruhai took Jia Cong and Jia Baoyu to greet him with ease.

Throughout the New Year, neither Jia Cong nor Baoyu had any time to rest.

During the half-month vacation, he was either accompanying Lin Ruhai to accompany the guests, or he was under the guidance of Uncle Lin, preparing for the county examination in February.

On the 22th day of the first lunar month, the imperial court opened its seal, and Shuntian Prefecture posted a notice that this year's county examination will be held on February [-].

Master Jing took a whip and drove all the people who had some promise in ethnology into the Daxing County Yamen, and all fifteen people in total signed up.

"Jia Jue, great-grandfather Rong Guogong Jia Yuan, grandfather Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, father Jia Zheng...uh, Yazhong doctor, Zizhi Shaoyin, and Zuoqian capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate... hiss~"

"Jia Cong, great-grandfather Rong Guo Gong Jia Yuan, grandfather Rong Guo Gong Jia Daishan, father Rong Guo Hou Jia She... hiss~"

"Jia Rui, great-grandfather Xuanwei General Jia Shu, grandfather Jia Dairu..."

"Jia Xiang, great-grandfather Wujie General Jia Daixin..."

hiss! ! !
The clerks in charge of registration at the Lifang of Daxing County were stunned. These fifteen people turned out to be the uncles of Ningrong and Rongfu.

Soon, the fifteen newly-released county examination candidates from Ningrong Jia's family became hot topics of discussion in the capital, and even overwhelmed the upcoming gossip about Chunwei.

"In addition to Jing Gong and Zheng Gong, the Jia family only has Third Master Cong and Second Master Bao who are quite civilized. They are a good military family, so why can't they think of rushing to the road of imperial examinations?"

"No, no, Master Zhu was the most cultured person back then."

"Hey, that's true. It's a pity that Uncle Zhu was amazing and talented back then. I always thought that Uncle Zhu would be the second Duke of the Jia family."

"But why did Third Master Cong take the imperial examination route? If you want to be an official, just ask His Majesty for a real job, right?"

"You don't understand this, think about who is the teacher of Third Master Cong?"

"Hiss, I'm sure there won't be a second Mr. Ivy!"

Just like that, amidst the discussion among the crowd, Jia Cong stepped into the examination room of the county examination just after the hustle and bustle of the general examination.

Just as Xu Jin, Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing guessed, the county magistrate of Daxing County did not dare to embarrass Jia Cong in the slightest.

In addition, Jia Cong's answer sheet was almost perfect, and he won the first place in five consecutive games, so he was almost selected as the leader of this year's Daxing county trial.

Moreover, Baoyu overwhelmed everyone and won the second place in the county test of Daxing County. Eight of the remaining thirteen Jiajiazi made the list, and many people who failed the list clamored that the county test was unfair. Only then did these voices of criticism be suppressed.

"After a few bursts of rain, it was still sunny.

A piece of cloud is donated by Lianxiu, and the rising sun welcomes the distant mountains

The color of the tree is smoky and green, and the haze is bright with emerald green.

Draw a picture to open up the scenery, and enjoy the rest of the situation.

The butterfly basks in the lace dew, and the frog spreads the sound outside the willow.

When the time is given, it is sanctified, and thousands of miles are celebrated for abundance. "

Jia Cong's trial poem in the county examination shocked all the students in the capital. The ten-year-old boy was even better at flattering the emperor than them.

This poem can be put in the examination to help people get on the imperial list. How can others live if you are so cursive?
Xu Jin looked at his apprentice who was sitting on a chair and hugged the big sesame cake, and couldn't help laughing: "The poems are good. Your Majesty said that if you can write, you should write more. He likes to listen."

Kacha Kacha... hiccup~
ton ton ton~
Jia Cong finally had his stomach full, wiped his mouth and smiled wryly.

"Teacher, don't tease the students. I haven't been idle for the past few days just because of this poem. You said that those gongshi didn't study hard to prepare for the imperial examination, so they came to discuss some poems and articles with me, a boy student. My second uncle and Uncle said that I will take the imperial examination in the future, and I can’t easily offend people, and if I’m forced to compose poems and poems with those people, I’m almost exhausted!”

Hearing the little apprentice's complaints, Xu Jin laughed heartily.

Jia Cong was originally known as a "Su Hui" talented person. With the spread of the poems posted in the county examination and the poems he wrote in the past few days, he was often admired and admired in the yamen.

Those colleagues who showed off their babies to him before now look at him with resentful eyes like women in deep palaces.

If they nodded their heads, they would immediately snatch the little disciple and go home.

"Senior Lin has already agreed with Wei Shi that after the Enke Palace Examination, he will organize a poetry meeting in your name."

Jia Cong had heard from his uncle a long time ago that the poetry meeting was just a name, and the people who attended the meeting included not only the nephew of Lin Ruhai's friend of the same age, but also the nephew of his teacher Xu Jin.

This will be the first alliance between the two parties, and the emperor has already arranged it. Prince Liu Hong will "unintentionally" encounter this poetry meeting, and it will be the beginning of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

I saw Xu Jin flipping open a stack of scrolls with a look of relief on his face.

"On the day of the poetry meeting, you took out the "Shuntian Mansion Relief and Resettlement Guide" written by you and Lin Yatou, and discussed it to see if this resettlement guide can be implemented in various provinces."

……

The government trial is scheduled for the second day of April, and there is still plenty of time.

After the palace examination on March [-]rd, Rongguo Mansion began to prepare for the poetry meeting on March [-]th.

Jia Cong and Daiyu seized the time to perfect the endless "Shuntian Mansion Relief and Resettlement Guide", neither Lin Ruhai nor Jia Jing, including Xu Jin, did not disturb them.

None of the three of them mixed in the content of this memorial, this memorial embodies the painstaking efforts of Jia Cong and Daiyu, every word and every sentence is full of their ambitions.

"After a catastrophe, there will always be epidemics. The prescriptions for epidemic prevention and treatment that Sister Lin found are just right, but there are still too few doctors, doctors and doctors, and the medicinal materials cannot be mass-produced, so it is difficult for the people to receive timely treatment."

Daiyu also nodded, and marked four words on the prevention and control of the epidemic: lack of medical treatment and medicine.

Jia Cong proposed the idea of ​​artificially cultivating medicinal materials and establishing a medical school, but in the end he was poured cold water by reality.

I just heard Daiyu say: "It's unrealistic. Let's not say that medical skills are generally passed down in the family. I cherish my broom. I just say that people have the ability to read and write. Why don't you try the imperial examination to become an official? Don't forget that sentence, everything is inferior." , only reading is high."

It's not that Daxia doesn't have government-run medical education, just the Tai Hospital.

It's a pity that the imperial hospitals in the past dynasties have a lot of exclusivity, almost inherited from the family, and the young folk doctors have very little room for promotion.

"Oh, let's put this aside in advance. I will go to the palace to talk to the fourth brother another day to see if there is any way."

Daiyu nodded, turned over this article, and talked about the household contract responsibility system in Huangzhuang and Guantian.

A few days passed, and on the thirteenth day of March, the central gate of the Rongguo Mansion opened wide.

Today coincided with Xiumu, Mr. Zheng led his brothers in the mansion to stand in line to welcome the guests at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Ever since Jiazhu Township tried to hold a grand poetry meeting and banquet, it has been a long time since Ningrong and Rongfu have so many literati and poets.

"Students meet the teacher!"

"Qingteng is here, please come in, please come in, Jiaci said just now, if there is no teaching from Mr. Qingteng, I don't know when this crazy monkey in my family will be able to get a taste of culture."

Xu Jin skillfully rubbed the little apprentice's head, and bowed to Jia Zheng in return.

"Madam Tai praised you. With Duke Jing and Duke Zheng here, how can Ningrong Jia's family lack culture? Of the two young masters of Zhenggong, which one is not amazing?"

Both Jia Zheng and Xu Jin worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and with the bond of Jia Cong, they were naturally close.

It was rare for Jia Zheng to be honored to hear Xu Jin praise his son.

I don't want this evil person to give me such a face one day, it seems that my big stick education these years has really been effective.

Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu who was talking to Wei Ruolan and the others, and thought in his heart: Since it is effective, the big stick education must continue, and if he can get second in the county examination, maybe he can also get a place in the palace examination in the future No.2 second place.

"Hey, why do I feel some pain in my butt?"

Just as Wei Ruolan and other Guozijian students were welcomed into the mansion, Baoyu secretly rubbed her buttocks and gave a jolt.

The front yard and Dongkua yard of Rongguo Mansion were almost full of guests, not only Lin Ruhai and Xu Jin were of the same age, but also their nephews, freshly released Jinshi.

There are also students from Guozijian, students from many academies in the capital, Jia Cong and Baoyu who were on the list in the county examination, and so on.

Master Jing, who had always lived in a house, also changed into Confucian clothes, and sat in the main hall of Rongguo Mansion to entertain guests. In the back house, there were also princes and female relatives of the governor's family invited by the old lady and Daiyu.

This banquet in the name of the Poetry Association almost alarmed most of the dignitaries in the capital.

When Liu Hong arrived at Rongguo Mansion in his regular clothes, he couldn't help but said to the Fifth Prince Liu Shuo, "This is the Rongguo Mansion. If other families have such influence, which king can sleep?"

Liu Shuo was young and couldn't understand the meaning behind these words at all, so he asked puzzledly: "Uh, fourth brother, didn't my father say that this poetry meeting was actually organized by Lin and Xu Ergong? The Rongguo Mansion is just responsible for it." It's just a name."

"That's the thing, but who knows whether the people attending the banquet are looking for Lin and Xu's sake or want to make friends with Ningrong Jia's family?"

Looking at the endless stream of carriages in front of Rongguo Mansion, Liu Hong suddenly became vigilant.

After a long time, he suddenly rubbed his forehead and laughed at himself: "I'm really crazy to think about these things."

"What happened to fourth brother?"

Liu Hong shook his head: "Fourth brother, I'm a little stunned. Father is right, a king should not be suspicious, otherwise he will really become a lonely family in the future!"
