Jia Rong organized a polo match, but it turned out that it was only for the tribesmen who were attached to Ning Mansion.
Those clan members who had just officially attached themselves to Rong Mansion under the witness of clan elders naturally stopped doing so.
They are all from the Jia family in Beijing, why should they be treated differently?
Haha, they asked Jia Rong about this, but Jia Rong had no intention of answering.
It's something that everyone knows well, so there's no need to bring it out to make people look embarrassed.
At this time, the second master of the Rong Mansion, the head of the family, had to step forward.
Not only must we stand up, but we must also give our people a good future promise, at least no worse than the polo team created by Jia Rong.
Although Mr. Zheng Er does not have a deep hatred for the so-called polo team, he looks down upon it very much.
He naturally believed that studying for the imperial examination was the right way.
The pie given to the dependent tribesmen was also an investment of resources in the imperial examination.
It can only be said that Mr. Zheng's painting skills are average, but he is still very generous in squandering Rongfu's resources.
Although I feel that the promise given by the second master Zheng is very unreliable, the several dependent tribesmen cannot continue to deal with it.
"What's going on with Brother Ningfu Rong?"
After solving the problem of relying on clan members, Mr. Zheng Er summoned Lian Er and said with a displeased look on his face: "Why don't you study well in clan school? Why do you have to play games for fun?"
He regarded the polo match played by Jia Rong as a game.
"Master, I don't know the specific situation either!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Rong is the clan leader after all, I can't control what he does!"
He really wanted to take care of it, and probably the second Mr. Zheng in front of him would be the first to jump out and refuse to agree.
Mr. Zheng also has some headaches. Although the relationship between Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion is good, they are not really close yet.
Besides, Rong Geer's generation is about to release the fifth server, and his clan uncle may not be easy to talk to.
"Don't you have a good relationship with Brother Rong?"
If you can't solve it yourself, you will naturally have to find the right person to come forward or take the blame: "Just go talk to him and don't bother anymore!"
Although Lian Er was very reluctant, he finally had to agree.
When he came to Ethnic Studies again, he was taken aback by the lively exercise scene here.
"Brother Rong, what's going on here at Clan Academy?"
In the Master's office, I saw Jia Rong who was reading miscellaneous books, and I couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked.
"They are stimulated, and everyone is working hard to become stronger!"
Jia Rong laughed, put down the miscellaneous books in his hand, casually talked about the polo team, including the subsequent impact, and finally said with a smile: "Whether it can be done or not, this is a good thing for ethnic studies students.
!”
"As long as they are willing to work hard and improve, I am willing to give them a chance!"
"According to Master's wishes, there are a few students in Ethnic Studies who have laid a solid foundation through copying books for a long time. As long as they work hard, they will be able to take the Tongsheng Examination next year!"
"Those who are interested in martial arts can also participate in martial arts competitions. Starting as a low-level military attaché is also a good way out!"
Lian Er was a little confused for a moment, so he found a chair and sat down, wondering: "Why did you tell me so clearly if you had thought it through then?"
"Don't tell me, my second uncle didn't act as a lobbyist when he came here this time!"
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Telling my uncle my arrangements in advance is also to avoid any misunderstandings!"
"Second uncle has been in contact with me for a long time, so he should also know that I have little interest in some things outside!"
Lian Er believed this.
But the problem is that Jia Rong puts most of his energy on the Ning Mansion and other clan members, so it is natural that he will have interests entangled with the Rong Mansion.
The main reason is that the Rong Mansion attaches great importance to clan rights and the clan's right to speak.
Lian Er didn't see these very clearly, but he also knew that the problem was not small.
Jia Rong knew well that the roads in Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion were different at this time.
To put it bluntly, the Rong Mansion, which had just obtained some clan rights, had not yet fully adapted to the difference between being the clan leader and being an important member of the clan before.
When you are an important member of a clan, you naturally try to find ways to gain benefits from the clan and strengthen yourself.
Obviously, the current Rong Mansion still has this mentality and behavior.
As the clan leader, in addition to making the direct lineage stronger, he also has to give his clan members some room for advancement.
Obviously, Rongfu did not have such thoughts and ideas.
He doesn't want to give his clan members room for advancement, but he needs their clan members' help to raise the flag and hope to gain greater clan power.
But once the Ning Mansion's actions take effect and some members of the tribe gain room for advancement and are promoted from ordinary people to officials, the momentum of the Ning Mansion will be different.
Even those members of the Fang clan who originally turned to the Rong Mansion will waver and make a new choice. Is it difficult to deduce such a thing?
Maybe, the Rong Mansion didn't see it very clearly, but they just subconsciously resented what the Ning Mansion was doing.
Otherwise, the person who came to talk to Jia Rong was not Lian Er, but Mr. Zheng Er.
"Don't worry, my second uncle will help you put in a good word!"
Lian Er patted his chest in assurance, then changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Brother Rong and those friends want to expand the polo event?"
"Are there more benefits there?"
When he said this, his peach blossom eyes were so bright that they almost turned into the shape of silver.
Lian Er still has the old habit and is very enthusiastic about making money.
He had heard that Brother Rong personally received a benefit of two thousand five hundred taels from just one polo match.
When I first heard about it, my eyes almost popped out.
Damn it, this money is so profitable, isn’t it?
Two thousand five hundred taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.
In the story of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng went directly to the Chang'an Jiedushi to help him get out of the way just for a mere three thousand taels of silver. It can be seen that thousands of taels of silver is definitely a lot of money.
Brother Rong got two thousand five hundred taels of silver just from a polo match.
At that time, Lian Er felt a little regretful. Why didn't he develop good riding skills and superb polo skills?
If you have such ability, you can also learn from Brother Rong and make a lot of money through polo matches.
Brother Rong has his own circle of friends, and Lian Er also has his own circle of friends. They are all wealthy people.
As long as we can get off to a good start, won't money keep coming in the future?
It's a pity that Lian Er is just a pure rich man. Although he can ride a horse, his riding skills are average, let alone playing polo.
But Lian Er is Lian Er, and he has extensive information channels. He quickly found out, but the matter is not over yet.
Brother Rong and his companions have agreed on the next polo match, and listening to Brother Rong’s bold words, it seems that he plans to organize a polo match?
Then, there is a lot of room for manipulation here.
You know, no one who can participate in polo matches is short of money.
I don't think about Lian Er, I don't even have the idea of forming a polo team. I really don't have the money to support him.
The sons of the family are very greedy, especially those who are good at riding and have certain practical abilities. It is not easy to make them be honest and obedient, and the amount of money they need to spend is absolutely staggering.
Even if he took out all the profits from the naughty weapon shop, it would probably not be enough. Lian Er knew that very well.
Unless, polo becomes completely popular and becomes the most popular and fashionable game among the rich and powerful.
At that time, every distinguished family must have a polo team to serve as a front, and then Lian Er can use the resources of the house for his own use.
Now, why not take advantage of Brother Rong's influence and participate in some matters related to the polo match, and you might be able to make a lot of money.
He is not greedy either. If he can earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year, that is enough.
When the time comes, with enough money and the connections made through polo matches, I will pave my way into officialdom.
In the original work of Red Mansions, Lian Er basically had no intention of entering officialdom.
He must have been brainwashed into thinking that working for the family is much better than being an official.
But the situation was different now. Jia Rong had reminded him early that Lian Er's degree of brainwashing was limited at this time, so he naturally had other thoughts.
As long as you observe carefully, or take a little time to investigate through certain channels, you will know which one is better, entering officialdom or staying in the government as a miscellaneous person.
Especially at this time, most of the resources left by the Rongguo Mansion to the younger generation have been obtained by Jia Zhu. The resources that Lian Er can obtain are very few. How could he not have any ideas in his mind?
Apart from anything else, being under Jia Zhu's weight all the time, it would be wonderful to think about it if I could overtake him in a corner in the officialdom.
In fact, it is not difficult for Lian Er to do this.
After all, he had the false title of Tongzhi at this time, and he was already considered a member of the officialdom. It was no exaggeration at all.
Of course, it is not an easy thing to spend money to buy a virtual title.
Or it was because Lian Er was the orthodox heir to the title of Rong Mansion.
According to the rules of downgrading to a noble title, the title that Lian Er can conquer is the third-grade general title, so he can naturally spend money in advance to buy a false title that is less than the third grade.
It is similar to Jia Rong in the original novel Red Mansions. In order to marry Qin Keqing more decently, Jia Zhen helped him spend money to buy an official position as a fifth-grade dragon forbidden officer.
If Jia Rong hadn't been able to achieve the fifth-grade military title, it would have been very difficult to buy such a false title.
In other words, Lian Er has a fifth-grade official title of Tongzhi. If enough money is spent to get it right, it will not be a problem to get a seventh-grade or eighth-grade official position with real power.
Obviously, Lian Er has already had such thoughts, but no one has told him, and he is also worried that something unexpected will happen in the process.
As for what the accident was, only he himself knows.
There was no other way, Lian Er, who was sober, already felt the crisis.
The second-bedroom Jia Zhu hasn't even been admitted to the Jinshi yet, and the government's resources for him are already so exaggerated. Is it really worth waiting for him to be admitted to the Jinshi?
I’m afraid that by then there won’t be room for a big house in Rong Mansion, right?
If Lian Er doesn't have the courage to confront the old lady and Mrs. Wang, he can only find another way out. Entering officialdom is obviously the brightest way...
