3.32 Final finishing touches, south to Jinling

"It's fine to leave. Even if Ziyang stays in the capital, he may have no future in the imperial examination." After a long time, Niu Jizong sighed.

"Uncle Niu Mingjian." Wei Xu smiled and did not object.

He was able to be admitted to the scholar in the capital, but it was absolutely impossible to pass the imperial examination. Although the imperial examination generally had strict requirements on fairness, even the modern college entrance examination was not sure to guarantee absolute fairness, let alone the imperial examination in a feudal society.

To put it bluntly, no matter how many exams Wei Xu takes, he will definitely be arranged clearly. The simplest thing is to drop a drop of ink on his original exam paper, which is for "dyeing the paper", and just discard it.

What, the imperial examination uses a system of ambiguous names, and the officials who correct the papers do not know whose papers belong to them. They even need to copy them in advance for the test and palace test, so as to prevent someone from correcting the handwriting?
Is it difficult to take it apart first, find it out, and then paste it on?Is it difficult to find out in advance which area Wei Xu's hand-in is in, and then find it accurately?It is nothing more than a question of input.

As for whether Wei Xu is worth the price, that is a matter of different opinions, but considering the two box-filling gifts personally given by the empress, no one would feel relaxed.

How important it is when I want you to seek refuge, how cruel it is when I attack you, there is no room for sloppy and fluke, if you accidentally get in, it will be your own life!

During this period of time, his original plan was to make a prominent performance first, so that the major forces and big bosses would leave some impressions, so that he could speak better when needed in the future.

It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The Jia Mansion, the core of the original noble group, actually rebelled. Even Jia She, the core figure of this generation of nobles, lost his life. The originally good situation took a sudden turn for the worse.

At this time, you big brothers naturally don’t have to worry about any problems, because there are many such things like officialdom struggles, it’s nothing more than you go up today, and I will pull you down tomorrow.

But for miscellaneous fish, it's hard to say. This time Emperor Yongzheng won the initiative, and he will definitely take the opportunity to attack Xungui. Wei Xu, who is the most prominent during this period, is definitely the target.

It's just that now that Jia She has just died, as the so-called "death is the most important thing", the timing is not suitable, and there is no way to act immediately. Once Jia She's funeral is over, the means of Emperor Yongzheng must come down.

This is also the main reason why Wei Xu arranged all the things in his plan in spite of everything today, otherwise it would be too late.

In addition, this can be regarded as a "parting gift" to smooth out the dissatisfaction caused by his leaving at this time in the honorable group, otherwise after this departure, he will also leave the honorable camp at the same time.

"You boy, when I mentioned Xue's family just now, I was afraid that I was ready to go there, right? It happened that Xue Pan was taken away, and Xue's family has no pillars. I can rest assured that you are here." Liu Fang suddenly said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your understanding." Wei Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "My nephew is going to Jinling to prepare for the provincial examination next year. After he wins the Juren, please don't forget to make arrangements."

Only then did the atmosphere at the scene relax, and everyone around them returned to smiling. Wei Xu didn't run away this time, but went to Jinling to continue working, and by the way, he went to his own land to take part in the provincial examination.

"You kid is only thinking about good things. If you win the Juren and then join the army, you can directly get rewarded and promoted. Others have to work hard to get a hundred households. You start with a hundred households.

That's right, all of these boys are pretty good at playing, but none of them are the seeds of studying. If you can really win the exam, I will be the master to protect you from a hundred households. " Niu Jizong said with a smile.

"One more thing, have you ever considered the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion?" Wei Xu thought of another question. Lin Ruhai is actually very useful, at least his position is very useful.

"He? He's good at acting. Even the old man of the country lost his eyes. Why do you mention him?" Ma Shang said dissatisfiedly, "If you let him die quickly, it will be over?"

Although the others didn't speak, their expressions were basically the same, that is, they agreed with Ma Shang's meaning, even if it was Jia Lian's nephew, even if his aunt Jia Min was not dead yet.

In many cases, the hostility of positions can make the family relationship completely disappear, such as the father and son in the current palace, such as the old lady of Rongguo Mansion who attacked the adopted son.

"Uncles, the salt tax is the royal purse, eating salt is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and the importance of inspecting salt censors cannot be overstated.

Now Mrs. Lin has lost his only son, and he is approaching age. Although Mrs. Lin is much younger than her husband, it may be difficult to have any descendants in this life.

He has been in this position for nearly ten years. Since the founding of my dynasty, there has never been a person who has been able to serve as a salt inspector for such a long time, and it is rare for him to last more than three years.

Now that he was almost ruined by his work, that person never mentioned bringing him back, and didn't even send out enough guards, leaving him to fend for himself.So my nephew would like to say hello in advance. After all, he is also from a distinguished family. Let’s see if he can be brought back this time. If he is still willing to come back, it will probably not be easy for the two people in the palace. "Wei Xu said with a smile.

All the nobles looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement.

"That's fine, just try it, it's the best if you can make it, and it's the same thing if you don't." The final decision was made by Niu Jizong, the No. 1 nobleman today.

"One more thing, my brother still has a small property at the foot of Niutou Mountain. I wonder if Brother Feng is willing to work hard?" Wei Xu finally handed over his only foothold outside the city.

One sentence surprised everyone.

"Wei family boy, I know you are worried about our attitude. But if you want to show it, you don't have to be so straightforward. You will come back sooner or later." Chen Ruiwen said with a frown.

"Uncles, don't worry, my nephew will never be short of silver no matter where he goes." Now half of the treasures in the world of "Flying Fox" are useless, and they have already started to make a profit.

Even if he came to Jinling this time, he would contact Xue's family as soon as possible to get a business line, and he didn't worry about getting money at all.

"Ziying, take it." This time it was Feng Tang who spoke, "At worst, when Ziyang comes back, we'll just return it to him."

"Yes, Father!" Feng Ziying naturally stopped talking.

Everyone else looked at Feng's father and son with envy, because the current Tongfu Inn is no longer a simple tool for making money, but has become the foothold of the entire noble camp outside the city.

With the continuous supply of funds from caravans and tourists coming to Beijing, Tongfu Inn does not have to worry about losing money anyway, just as the Feng family has the least background in the noble core.

There are also various families who stay when they are out of the city, which is convenient for making contacts. Feng Ziying is well-known for his ability to communicate, and no one doubts his future gains.

"Zi Yang, since you are planning to fully withdraw, there must be a lot of things that need to be moved. Do you have a plan now, and is there enough time?" Now that everything has been arranged, Niu Jizong naturally needs to express his concern.

"Before Uncle Jia's funeral, no one would do anything foolishly, because it would be tantamount to wanting to fight with us forever, so plus the time of the dead body, I have nearly two months anyway, which is enough.

I will arrange for the boys below to set off in batches, each of the two servants will lead a team, and in the end I will lead another team myself. I think there will be no problem.

As for the bottles and jars in the capital, I have already handed over everything else except for a few servants left in the house to look after the house and clean the house.

Anyway, when we arrive in Jinling, we have to start all over again, and my nephew doesn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of things that get in the way. "Wei Xu replied with a smile.

"That's good." Since that's the case, Niu Jizong didn't say any more.

In mid-August of the tenth year of Yongzheng, Jia She, the contemporary successor of the Rongguo Mansion, was officially buried after July 49. The successor, Jia Lian, cried and fainted in front of the coffin.

On the night of Jia Amnesty's funeral, Ba Gong's contemporary successor brought Jia Lian and 12 other princes from the four kings' families into the palace in the name of "Mid-Autumn Visit", talking and laughing in Longshou Palace until midnight.

The next day, the Supreme Emperor's decree came directly from the Longshou Palace, stating the achievements of the Rongguo Mansion in the past, allowing Jia Lian not to be demoted to attack the first-class general, and at the same time seize the opportunity to recover and serve as the magistrate of Tongzhou.

On the same day, in the name of "routine transfer", the Governor's Office of the Five Armies appointed Ma Shang, the third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Shang, the heir to the governing government, as the commander of the Tianjin Guard, and Chen Yejun, the heir of the Duke of Qi, as the deputy Qianhu of the Weihai Guard, leading the guard. everything.

After the official documents were sent to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, the above-mentioned personnel took up their posts without waiting for a reply, which aborted all the countermeasure plans of the civil service group, because Wu Xun had obviously already made arrangements.

Emperor Yongzheng was going to issue a decree to reprimand, but when he heard that Yizhong County King went out in person, he sent the above-mentioned personnel ten miles outside the city to bid farewell, and there was no more sound in the palace, but the House of Internal Affairs transported a cart of porcelain as a supplement .

However, this has nothing to do with Wei Xu. Just the day after Jia She's funeral, he had already brought his wife, Qin Keqing, Baozhu Ruizhu, Shi Xiangyun and Cuilu, with his wife Qin Keqing and Baozhu Ruizhu, together with ten Niutoushan disciples. Departure, ready to go south to Jinling from Tongzhou via the canal.
