For another example, Jia Qiang, who was sitting at the head of the room at this time, was also a winner in life in the eyes of a group of distinguished disciples of the same age.
At a young age, he was sent to work as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although he was only a ninth-grade official, he had frequent contacts with royal merchants from various places, which was also a lucrative job.
You know, two years ago, Jia Qiang was just like them, almost a playboy in the noble circle, and she was not even as good as them.
After all, although Jia Qiang is an upright grandson of the Ning Mansion, she still cannot change the fact that she lives under someone else's roof.
In their small circle, Jia Qiang's presence is not big.
But two years later, Jia Qiang has become the most outstanding one among their group of noble children, just like his cousin Jia Rong.
Of course, envy and jealousy are envy and jealousy, and no one is stupid enough to show it directly, but the city still has this.
What surprised them the most was that Jia Qiang had changed so much in the past year that it was almost difficult for them to recognize her.
Not only did his horizons and knowledge greatly increase, but he also made some achievements in martial arts, and even became a substitute for the Ningfu polo team, which is quite remarkable.
The most obvious manifestation is that Jia Qiang's height has soared, and her body shape has also become quite lean. The appearance that was originally more beautiful than a woman has a bit of heroic spirit that cannot be concealed, making her look even more radiant and charming.
If he went to a brothel, with his delicate face, he would probably be free of charge on all purchases, and he would even be close friends with the oiran.
Whenever I think of the benefits that the two Ning brothers may receive, I feel a burst of envy and jealousy in my heart.
"You are wrong. The champion of this year's Polo League A is definitely not the Ningfu Polo Team!"
Here, a group of noble people continue to express their own thoughts and make various comments on the information in "Polo Review".
But who would have expected that Jia Qiang, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said this.
"Don't be modest. With the strength of the Ningfu Polo Team, as long as we can avoid a major wave of injuries, and with the strength of last year's championship team, it won't be too difficult to defend the title!"
"That's right, with Rong Ge's performance alone, this year's Polo League A championship will definitely not run away!"
All the distinguished disciples spoke one after another, feeling that Jia Qiang's words were too modest.
"Everyone, you must not know that the main players of the Ningfu polo team will basically participate in this year's martial arts competition!"
Jia Rong smiled softly and said leisurely: "Once they become Wu Xiucai or Wu Juren, how can they continue to participate in the polo league?"
Silence, deathly silence!
The originally noisy room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The few noble disciples sitting here all looked at Jia Qiang, who was sitting in the main seat, with shock on their faces, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
Are you kidding me?
As far as they know, the main players of the Ningfu polo team are basically children of the Ningfu family.
To put it harshly, they are just a bunch of slaves, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang can easily decide their life or death.
With such an existence, Jia Qiang actually said that they would participate in this year's martial arts competition?
"Brother Qiang, don't be joking!"
At this time, one of the distinguished disciples finally reacted and said directly: "You really can't talk nonsense about such things!"
The other distinguished disciples also reacted at this time and nodded in agreement.
"Why am I joking? This is the truth!"
Jia Qiang was a bit dumbfounded and said depressedly: "Do you think that with the martial arts and strength shown by the main players of the Ningfu polo team, can they be admitted as martial arts scholars?"
this……
The disciples sitting here were stunned again. If they purely considered their strength, it would be really easy for the main members of the Ning Mansion Polo Team to be admitted as Wu Xiucai.
Being able to withstand a season of fierce polo matches, there is no doubt about the strength of the main members of the Ningfu Polo Team.
Compared with the civil examination, the martial arts examination is quite simple.
Especially Wu Xiucai and Wu Juren, with the strength shown by the main members of the Ningfu polo team, they are indeed very sure to pass the exam.
only……
"Brother Qiang, is it true that Ning Mansion doesn't know how to play?"
Another young man from the nouveau riche spoke in surprise: "As far as I know, except for Rong Ge'er, the main members of the Ningfu polo team are almost all from the same family?"
"What about the family background of a child?"
Jia Qiang, however, didn't take it seriously and said amusedly: "As long as you are strong enough, what if you give them citizenship?"
"Then what will Ning Mansion do after they are all admitted as Wu Scholars?"
Seeing that Jia Qiang was serious about what he said, some of the distinguished disciples present already knew what was going on. One of them suddenly asked: "Is it possible? Is there anything else Ning Mansion can't consider?"
"It's natural!"
Jia Qiang smiled calmly and said: "If they have the ability to pass the examination as a martial arts scholar or even a martial arts scholar, the Ning Mansion will not mind sending them to serve in the army!"
After that, there is no need to say more.
After being sponsored by the Ning government to join the army, the martial arts scholars or martial arts scholars from these families will naturally become the Ning government's staunchest supporters in the army.
However, doing this is too unexpected, and I don’t know if it can be done?
Compared to participating in martial arts and obtaining quasi-official status, being a member of the Polo League championship team is nothing.
If you have something wrong in your mind, the results of subsequent exercises will naturally not be very good.
Jia Qiang was frustrated and helpless, so she had to end this rare gathering hastily.
I can't help complaining about Jia Rong in my heart, because he had to be allowed to break such news on such an occasion.
Not to mention all the distinguished disciples and friends, even he was quite surprised when he first heard about it.
However, Jia Rong's attitude was quite firm, and he also talked about the benefits of doing so, and he agreed.
Brother Rong is right. If we don't find a good place for the main members of the polo team, how can they obediently give up their positions?
If there are not a large number of vacancies in the main position of the polo team, how can ethnic studies students who have rapidly grown in strength be able to take the position smoothly?
As far as Jia Qiang knows, the main members of the Ningfu polo team are basically star players in the polo circle at this time. Not only are they extremely famous, but their net worth is quite high.
Even if they are still the children of the family, as long as they do not violate the Ning family rules, Jia Rong will not be able to deal with them at will.
It is definitely an amazing move to release them and allow them to participate in martial arts.
But then again, strength is the most important thing in the military, so there is no need to care too much about family background and the like.
Seriously speaking, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, two great military strategists in the Han Dynasty, came from absolutely humble backgrounds. In the end, didn’t they rely on their amazing military exploits to shine in the annals of history?
If the polo team pursues members who can really pass the examination as a martial arts scholar or even a martial arts scholar, then why not give them another push and send them into the army?
In the army, they are definitely the staunchest supporters of Ning Mansion, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold at all.
The reason why I told the noble disciples who are familiar with me is to remind them.
The polo team is not just a fun tool, it is also a great platform for cultivating junior officers!
In the past, the low-level officers in the army were either the descendants of distinguished families and military generals' families, or they were killed in the lowest level of war. There was no training mechanism in this area at all.
Not to mention low-level officers, other middle-level officers and high-level generals rarely have clear training mechanisms.
As for military examinations, it is simply impossible to select truly qualified military generals!
No one could have expected before that the polo team and polo league could cultivate low-level officers who are brave enough to fight and have flexible minds.
Of course, there are still certain risks in Ning Mansion's blatant use of the polo team to train low-level officers.
If it attracts the attention of the royal family, or the displeasure of the military bosses, it is not so easy to explain.
Of course, under normal circumstances, whether it is the royal family or the military boss, it is difficult to look down on the low-level officers in the military. Although the risk is there, it is not very big.
In order to cooperate with the Ning Mansion's next move, which may cause quite a stir, Jia Rong deliberately started writing a book to promote it in advance, just like relying on rumors to stir up trouble in the world of Double Dragons in the Tang Dynasty.
It is still cold in Beijing in early spring, but the teahouses and restaurants are as lively as ever.
In such a lively place, there are usually buskers performing here, the most common of which are storytellers.
For example, storytellers in restaurants and teahouses usually tell legendary stories, as well as popular love stories such as scholar and lady.
But recently, some storytellers in teahouses and restaurants have invariably told the story of the latest novel "The General of the Cavalry"!
The patrons of the teahouse and restaurant were quickly attracted by the story in "The General of the Cavalry".
No way, the story is so exciting.
The identity of the protagonist also makes the audience feel novel.
A polo player who was born in a family, learned to ride a horse and play polo through the resources of his family, and then became a leader through a large number of polo matches.
This kind of plot coincides with the polo league, which has become increasingly popular and influential in recent years, giving readers a quite novel experience.
The protagonist of the story became a very famous polo star because of his good performance, and his family allowed him to get deported.
Later, he recommended him to participate in the martial arts examination, and finally passed the martial arts examination, and successfully became a seventh-grade military attache in the army!
During this period, some plots about the officialdom and the master's family were added, and naturally there were some twists and turns, and the pig's feet were always a thrilling pass.
Either because of his fame, the owner was afraid to be cruel to him; or he got help from some polo fans and got out of an embarrassing situation, etc. In short, it was quite complicated.
In addition, his background also caused a small stir in the officialdom. The enemy of the master's family in the court almost ruined his background as a martial arts scholar and his bright future.
But in the end, the pig's feet passed the test in a thrilling way, making the audience shout that it was a good thing.
This is where the story really begins.
When Pig's Feet arrived in the army, he was ostracized by his superiors because of his family background and a series of other reasons. He was directly assigned to garrison at the military fortress at the forefront of the border fortress. Once a war broke out with the tribes outside the fortress, there would be almost no survivors.
possible.
Then, there is the passionate plot of Pig's Foot showing great power in the border fortress conflict, gradually ascending to a high position in the army, and finally directly becoming the hussar general of the current dynasty.
The basic routine is similar to that of "Feng Yun Lu of the Han Empire". Pig's Knuckle is also the same as the one in it. He quickly rose to become a shining star in the military relying on his strong skills and crazy military exploits.
In short, the fresh novel "The General of the Cavalry", through the storyteller's mouth, quickly became popular throughout the capital, and then spread to the entire northern border.
The story is quite novel and exciting, so it naturally became a hit.
In the early spring, when I had nothing to do and was having wine and tea with my friends, it was natural that I couldn't help but talk about my views on this popular story.
Because the story is so exciting and bloody, in the battlefield fighting part, except for the strong martial arts of pig's feet, there are almost no obvious flaws. Even some military attachés participated in the discussion enthusiastically.
Many people have said it, and most of them are positive comments, which naturally affects the real world.
If nothing else, at least the audience who are keen on discussing the plot of the novel will not have any objection to the members of the polo team participating in the imperial examination.
Even if the members of the polo team participating in the martial arts were originally born at home, there would not be much criticism.
With the hot publication and sales of the short book "The General of the Cavalry", this concept was quickly recognized.
And a group of members of the noble family were reminded by their own children early, heard the relevant novel stories, and saw the novel books placed on the table exuding the fragrance of ink. They were silent for a while and felt complicated.
They never expected that the young head of the Ning Mansion would play such a trick.
To be honest, if they are not mentally prepared in advance, even if they hear the novel content of the story, it is difficult not to be affected.
When the Ning Mansion announced that some of the main members of their polo team would be deregistered and take part in martial arts competitions, they would just laugh and scold them for being ridiculous and not pay too much attention to them at all.
But in fact, this is what Ning Mansion wants!
That's awesome. That guy Jia Rong is really awesome.
No matter how complicated their moods were, or how defensive they were, they could not deliberately target the main members of the polo team that Ning Mansion was about to launch.
If we really attack randomly, it will be a life-and-death situation.
In the past, no one would have paid too much attention to the rapidly declining Ning Mansion. In comparison, the Rong Mansion was more influential, more powerful and more fearful.
But now, if anyone dares to ignore the strength of Ning Mansion, he and his family are probably not far from being unlucky.
Damn it, this was the first time they had seen a guy who was able to succeed and have children so beautifully for the sake of his own family.
The story of "The General of the Hussars" alone is enough to be recognized by the Wu Xun family.
The pig's trotter in the story is the strong man in the army that they recognized.
At the same time, the thoughts of the young head of the Ning Mansion also made them want to imitate him. If the Ning Mansion can occasionally do something, can they not do it?
When the news they were expecting came from the Ning Mansion, they felt really mixed emotions...
