"There are many mediocre people in the court, but there are absolutely no fools!"

In the side room of Huiyou Bookstore, Si Ding, the crown prince of King Chu, said with a smile: "The reason why they are willing to take the risk of completely falling out with Prince Teng and even arousing suspicion today is that they still have no choice but to come forward!"

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for them?"

Jia Cong, who was sitting next to him, added that he was the one who started this topic. After thinking about what Si Ding said and combining it with some of his understanding and insights, it was not difficult to come to this conclusion.

In the room, there were also Xue Pan and two young scholars, Jia Yun and Jia Fang, so they could broaden their horizons.

By the way, the Tongsheng Examination is basically held twice every three years. Jia Yun, Jia Fang and the other three ethnic minority students happened to be stuck in the examination one year apart from the Juren Examination.

Regardless of whether they have any idea of ​​continuing to take the imperial examination, Jia clan students who want to take the Tongsheng examination must wait for a year, otherwise Jia Cong will have more Tongsheng juniors at this time.

The power of role models is amazing!

The clan learned that five children were selected in one go, and two of them also passed the scholar examination, standing out from the category of ordinary clansmen in one fell swoop.

This means that motivated Ethnic Studies students, or parents of motivated students, have been greatly stimulated. The learning atmosphere in Ethnic Studies has been quite good in the recent year.

Of course, if you just work hard and work hard for a few years, you are very likely to pass the exam. It is conceivable that Jia Yun and others will get results after working hard for a few months. The only difference is Jia Cong's careful guidance.

If Jia Cong had not gone to Jiangnan for half a year, during which time Jia Yun and Jia Fang had no effective teachers to teach them, and their studies almost stagnated, they might have had hope of participating in the imperial examination this year.

From this we can see how important Jia Cong’s teachings are!

The family of ethnic studies is dominated by Jia Cong and his younger brother. There are also many ethnic studies students who are willing to get closer. There are currently twelve ethnic studies students admitted.

It’s not that there aren’t more students who are willing to be juniors, but Jia Cong has no intention of accepting them casually. The book club’s resources and his guidance cannot be wasted.

If you want to be his little brother, you must at least be somewhat motivated!

Not to mention that one must achieve great results in the imperial examinations, one must be a child at the very least. Otherwise, where would Jia Cong's face be?

As for those guys who want to hang out and just come here to get some cheap money, they can go wherever they want. The book club has limited resources and cannot afford to waste them.

The novel "The Richest Man in the World" has been completed a long time ago, and Jia Cong usually spends a lot of time instructing his younger brother on his academic homework.

In just a few months, the newly admitted boys have reached the level of a childbirth, and they can only wait for next year's childbirth examination to become an official childbirth.

The two school teachers, Jia Yun and Jia Fang, knew all this. Once again they were impressed by the old scholar's intellectual ability, but they did not dare to have any strange ideas.

Jia Cong has become more and more casual recently. He only shows up at Ethnic Studies every day, and then either stays at Huiyou Bookstore or goes to work on his own affairs.

If it weren't for the two younger brothers who were gentlemen to help cover it up, no matter how hard Jia Cong tried, he still wouldn't be able to hide it from the big bosses in the house.

At the same time, the two scholars, Jia Yun and Jia Fang, also maintained the academic order well and also managed a group of friends who were also Jia Cong's younger brothers in an orderly manner.

When Jia Cong saw these things, he would naturally express his feelings. In addition to giving them careful guidance on their homework, he also deliberately cultivated their vision and abilities.

The current exchange with the Prince of Chu will allow them to show their faces in front of Siding, which will definitely give them face and benefits.

As for Xue Pan, what Jia Cong values ​​​​is the Xue family's business network resources. As for his own ability, forget about it, as long as he is honest and obedient.

Both Jia Yun, Jia Fang, and Xue Pan were very excited at this time, and they acted like they were listening honestly, not daring to make any rash moves at all.

They were so surprised to have the opportunity to show their faces in front of the Prince of Chu, and they didn't even think about anything else.

At the same time, I was quite in awe of the 'energy' of the boss Jia Cong, and I didn't understand how he became so familiar with the Prince of Chu, and acted like they were inseparable.

Xue Pan knew how the boss Jia Cong met the Prince of Chu, but the current scene still made him feel dreamy.

No matter how submissive and submissive he was to the boss Jia Cong, one fact was undeniable. The boss Jia Cong was just a concubine of the Rongguo Mansion.

Even the idiot Xue knows that a concubine from a wealthy family is unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the direct descendants of a wealthy family of the same level, he is nothing.

The identity of the Prince of Chu naturally goes without saying. He is an absolute nobleman, and it is simply incredible that the boss, Jia Cong, can have a close relationship with him.

…

Jia Cong didn't know what his younger brothers were thinking, otherwise he would definitely give each of them a beating.

Most of his thoughts at this time were focused on the ripples caused by "The Richest Man in the World", and he didn't pay much attention to other things.

Now that Wang Ziteng was helping to bear the firepower, he was naturally happy and relaxed, and focused most of his attention on promoting the new book.

"I think Uncle Wang Shi is not the type to just take a beating without fighting back. The court will be lively in the future!"

"Brother Chunran, help me keep an eye on the direction of the court. As long as I don't take the initiative to target the Rongguo Mansion, what follows will only become more and more lively!"

Jia Cong laughed very heartily. Whenever he thought about the subsequent plot of the new book, he wanted to see with his own eyes the reaction of Yangzhou salt merchants.

The plot that follows is quite exciting. As the strength of the pig's feet continues to increase, the private salt business inevitably encounters a ceiling.

The subsequent battle was not just a fight between private salt gangs, but also involved regular salt merchants with great wealth and power. The scale, intensity, and danger were raised to a new level.

Even Liu Dafu, who had the aura of pig's feet, also suffered heavy losses in such a fight. Even the Salt Gang under his control had almost half of its strength destroyed.

At this time, the aura of Pig's Foot broke out, and he met a down-and-out scholar with amazing talent and took him under his wing. The Salt Gang's losses were immediately stopped, and the business ideas were changed at the same time.

In the process, Pig's Feet realized that smuggling was not the right way in peacetime after all, and only 'serious' business was the safest and most reliable way. So Pig's Feet made up his mind and began to embark on the road of wealthy businessmen.

The process of cleaning up during this period was described in quite detail. The feeling of throwing a lot of money at someone makes me feel so happy just thinking about it.

Of course, there are also various scenes of collusion between officials and businessmen being described from time to time. The pig-footed Liu Dafu spent a lot of money and almost half of his net worth was finally cleared, and he even squeezed into the circle of the Yangzhou Salt Merchant Association.
Chapter completed!
