The most important part of this ancestral meeting has come.
Jia Zhu is only the future, Master Zheng is the key.
Who is the clan member present? He is the only actual official?
It’s really ridiculous to say that!
The Ningrong Second Mansion, one of the two founding countries of the Eight Kingdoms, has actually fallen into this kind of situation.
If the family's momentum was not still there, and the eight founding fathers had the amazing power to keep warm, with the actual power controlled by Ningrong's second house, he would have fallen completely from the noble class.
Jia Rong was also helpless. As the patriarch, he had to consider the clan.
Put aside interests first and stop the clan's decline first.
Don't say anything else, just a little bit.
Ning Rong and the Second Mansion cannot know what happened in the court immediately. As time goes by, big problems will arise.
If the imperial court targets the Ningrong Mansion, it cannot know the news immediately and cannot even make hasty preparations.
Once something like this really happens, the skin of Ning Rong's second house will be peeled off.
Since he was thinking about Mr. Zheng, Jia Rong would not be polite when he spoke.
"Uncle Zheng, you have been working as an errand at the Ministry of Industry for a long enough time. Do you have any idea of changing your position?"
Before Master Zheng, whose face suddenly turned red, could speak, he continued: "With all due respect, Uncle Zheng is not very good at holding official positions that are very transactional!"
"you……"
As the saying goes, don't expose someone's shortcomings, and don't slap someone in the face.
However, Jia Rong exposed all the shortcomings of Mr. Zheng, making him feel so embarrassed that he had to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
He was so angry that his eyes burst out with fire, and he even had thoughts of murder.
The other tribesmen present were in an uproar because they thought Jia Rong really dared to say such things, and could say such things as a slap in the face.
If Mr. Zheng Qi becomes angry, I'm afraid things will get worse.
"Lao Qi, what's his expression?"
At that time, Mr. She spoke with a very harsh tone: "Brother Rong, as the patriarch of the clan, would like to ask if he is sure of taking a step back?"
"If I hadn't been here to see someone in the officialdom, how could I not have the leisure and leisure to care about his trivial matters?"
"He, he, you..."
Mr. Zheng Qi was at a loss for words for a moment, his face turned red from suppressing it, but he managed to say everything at the beginning.
Tsk!
You should slow down your reaction. If you argue in court, you will still be sprayed to death by these professional trolls.
Of course, Mr. Zheng Qi is really so stupid, but he is embarrassed in his heart and has something to say.
Anyone who has been in the position of the eighth-rank director of the Ministry of Industry Yamen or the seventh-rank member of the Communist Party of China for nearly seventy years has little expectation of promotion.
"Uncle Zheng, the official resources of the Rong Mansion are also trying to pile up on Ning Rong'er. I can't fall behind, right?"
Jia Rong spoke calmly, eager to relieve Master Zheng Qi's embarrassment, and said leisurely: "To put it bluntly, even if Chen Xiangyou really became the governor of the Beijing camp, would I recruit my uncle as soon as possible?"
"Go ahead and dream!"
Mr. She was very cooperative and said sarcastically: "Agarwood is very ambitious and wants to climb down!"
"Even if I want to recruit officials, it will be of no benefit to me. The old seventh official will have no effect on me?"
"Brother, he..."
"Why are you convinced?"
"Okay, the two uncles are going to have a quarrel. Let me listen to you!"
Jia Rong was not amused and said directly: "You have studied the official positions in the court and below and found that some of them are very suitable for Uncle Zheng!"
"For example, the General Administration Department, Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple. Those places are all suitable for Uncle Zheng to work as an official, right?"
"Tsk, why are they all idle?"
Mr. She was polite, he laughed and said sarcastically: "Oh, Lao Qi's temperament is only suitable for serving as a sinecure!"
Mr. Zheng Qi looked very sad, but he had no other ideas in his heart.
I'm moved...
"A sinecure is a sinecure!"
Jia Rong took it for granted and said directly: "As long as the level is improved, you will no longer be qualified to go to court!"
"Uncle Zheng, what does he think?"
I laughed and said: "Anyway, several yamen positions require people to sit, and others can sit there. Is it okay for Uncle Zheng to do it?"
"that……"
"Uncle Zheng, as long as we operate properly, we can still secure the position. There is still no certainty that our uncle will be promoted to the eighth rank official position within ten years!"
Seeing Mr. Zheng Qi without any hesitation, Jia Rong immediately stepped up.
Sure enough, after listening to Jia Rong's words, Mr. Zheng Qi quickly changed his attitude.
If you can retire to the ranks of eighth-grade low-ranking officials within ten years, it will be a great thing.
The idle position is the idle position. Anyway, I really have little interest in specific yamen affairs, so the idle position is more suitable for me.
Seeing me like this, Master Sheng curled his lips, but he didn't say anything hurtful. I understand the principle of stopping when it's appropriate.
As for the rest of the tribe, there is nothing but envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Just as Jia Rong said, among the people sitting in the ancestral hall, there is only Mr. Zheng Qi who is in the officialdom, and I am the only one who is not qualified to get such an opportunity.
"Uncle Zheng, Ning Rong'er and our family were in charge of the Shipping Department back then. There should be quite a lot of good and bad relations in Honglu Temple!"
At that time, Chen Xiang pointed it out directly and said: "You can talk to me!"
"It's always possible. As long as our Jia family devotes resources, the Wang family will have to pay for everything. Does that make sense!"
Although Mr. Zheng Qi was not firm, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Nothing is more important than my promotion!
Just kidding, if there is no chance of promotion, Mr. Zheng Qi will naturally be stingy and always give up all the benefits to others.
After Master Zheng Qi's matter was settled, Jia Rong then turned his attention to Lian Qi.
Judging from my posture, it was obvious that I had run out of time to wait.
"By the way, is the power of our Jia family in the officialdom too weak and strong?"
Chen Xiang directly expressed his thoughts: "So, you plan to use family power to help Uncle Lian Qi retreat into officialdom, preferably the Hubu outside the Babu Yamen!"
Ignoring the surprised expressions of the tribesmen present, I continued: "Start with the fourth and fourth-grade officials. As long as you make some achievements, you can be promoted!"
"Of course, with Uncle Lian's temperament, it's okay to go to Taipu Temple!"
After saying that, he looked around with a smile and asked: "Do you have any comments?"
How can a tribe of people not have any opinions?
Just look at Lian Qixi's self-satisfied look, and you can understand my own thoughts and thoughts. Why do we need to find restraints on ourselves?
Only Mr. Wuzheng Qi was confused and suddenly asked: "If Lian Qi becomes an official and leaves the government, who will handle the common affairs outside the government?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. She took action and said angrily: "Lao Qi, his son can take the imperial examination, but your son can only do odd jobs outside the house?"
"He wants to think about such a good thing, and you will definitely agree to it. He is really out of his mind..."
