Nowadays, it is definitely not that urgent to collect money owed to you.
Otherwise, how could Lian Er, who was working as an errand in the Ministry of Accounts, not leak a single word?
Jia Rong and Qin Keqing chatted for a few words and then let it go.
In fact, the major event in the court that really concerns Jia Rong right now is the anti-corruption storm that has arisen today.
No matter what era we are in, anti-corruption is a banner of justice.
Nowadays, using the excuse of anti-corruption, he has taken down many court officials in one fell swoop.
Among them, most of them belong to the emperor's men, and a small part are his own men today, which shows his fierce strength.
For a time, many seats in the court were vacant.
As the saying goes, happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone. It is impossible for court officials to be unlucky. Local officials can sit firmly in Diaoyutai, right?
The current trend has quickly spread from the capital to local areas.
I heard that local jails could not accommodate captured officials and their families, and officials were in danger for a while.
Fortunately, Lian Er and Jia Qiang had just entered the officialdom not long ago, and with Jia Rong's repeated warnings, they did not reach out for money, so they naturally avoided this storm.
But even so, they were both shocked.
Think about it, the official who was chatting and laughing with you in the morning will be convicted and imprisoned with his family in the afternoon. How scary is this scene?
"You are not short of money, so don't reach out for money that you shouldn't get!"
Jia Rong took the opportunity to warn: "Let's upgrade our official position first!"
This time, the current methods were ruthless, and almost one-fifth of the officials in the court were taken down in one fell swoop. It can be said that there was a big war.
For this reason, many official positions are vacant in various ministries and yamen.
If nothing else, Lian Er and Jia Qiang's opportunity has come.
As long as they move around, it won't be a problem at all for them to advance to a higher level.
At that time, Lian Er will be an official of the seventh rank, and Jia Qiang will be an official of the ninth rank.
With the strength of Ningrong's Second Mansion, they can help them reach a higher level, but it's better not to take the lead easily in the current situation.
Besides, the two of them have been in the officialdom for less than two years, so rising up too quickly is not a good thing.
After calming down the frightened Lian Er and Jia Rong, Jia Rong thought, this should be the main reason for ordering the removal of the officials who had committed the crime in the future, right?
This should also be the beginning of Jia Yucun's return to office.
In fact, this matter made Jia Rong feel very strange.
During the 100th anniversary of the Great Qian Dynasty, there was a spring examination to select officials every three years.
When the emperor ascends the throne or there is a special important day, there will be special encores.
As a result, the number of Jinshi accumulated over a hundred years is quite large.
Although there have not been as many officials as there were in the Song Dynasty that could not be accommodated, there are still many officials in reserve.
As the saying goes, a three-legged toad is hard to find, and there are countless people with high official positions, so there is no need to recruit any old staff.
Obviously, there is something going on here, and we should give in now.
These were just speculations in his spare time. Jia Rong didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, the turmoil in the court at this time could not affect Ning Rong's second house.
There is no need to worry about Master Zheng. He is just an idle official, and today's thunderous methods will not fall on him at all.
As for the nobles in Ning Rong's second house, they usually don't even have the chance to go to court, so how could they be affected?
On the contrary, too many positions in the court suddenly became vacant. If Jia Rong wanted to, he would be quite sure to win a fourth-rank official position with real power.
However, he was not tempted or took any action in private.
Amid such turmoil, Jia clan studies gained a lot in this year's children's examination and college examination.
There are more than eight students who have passed the Tongsheng Examination, and three of them are very capable. According to Mr. Xuexue, they have a high probability of becoming a scholar.
Because of the turmoil in the court, the clan's academic achievements were not publicized even though it had such good results.
Of course, Jia Rong is not a stingy person either.
The eight children all received awards from the clan school, and each received twenty taels of silver, which was quite generous. At least the parents behind them were very satisfied.
Worried that the old lady of Rong Mansion, Xi, had a lively temperament and made the matter too big to attract unkind eyes from the outside world, Jia Rong only set up a few tables in the clan school building to celebrate briefly.
Then, without waiting for the outside world to react, except for a few children who were preparing to continue taking the scholar examination, the rest of the children were sent to Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi Yamen to study with Lin Ruhai according to last year's practice.
After they arrive in Yangzhou, the first batch of young students and scholars will return to the capital one after another.
The clan will make arrangements based on their own abilities and wishes.
It just so happened that while the court and local officials were in chaos at this time, they could be settled quietly without causing much trouble.
The Jia family lacked confidence and targeted only ninth-grade officials, which did not attract attention at all.
Their biggest advantage is that they have the Ning Rong Mansion as their backer, and they have made great achievements during their tenure, so they don't have to worry about being plucked and not getting promoted.
Of course, if you insist on pushing him to a higher official position and grade, it's not that Ning Rong's second mansion can't do it, but it will be impossible to continue to protect people in the future.
There are official rules in officialdom, and the official position and grade have reached a certain level. With the strength of Ningrong's second house, there is really no way to interfere randomly.
It was during this period that the new year's martial arts exercises started.
Then, the dozen or so people who had children from the Ning family were all admitted to the Wu Scholar examination, which attracted many surprised looks.
After all, the influence of the novel "General Hussars" is still there, and people have always been paying attention to the polo player who was born in the Ning family and participated in martial arts competitions.
The outside world's attention was basically focused on the group of polo players who were born in the Zi family, and they did not realize that there were three members of the Jia clan who were admitted to the Wu Scholarship Examination.
At this time, anyone paying attention to this matter would feel shocked.
How much I despised Ning Mansion's choice before, now I feel so embarrassed.
They never expected that a polo player from the Ning family could really pass the martial arts examination and pass the lowest martial arts examination.
There are some clues about the existence of some knowledgeable people. Half of them have the strength to go one step further and challenge the martial arts scholars.
This is quite remarkable.
With the influential novel "The General of the Cavalry" as a foreshadowing, many people are very optimistic about these Wu scholars who were born in the Ning family.
If nothing else, at least their riding skills and martial arts are not weak.
In the military, they are definitely relatively capable beings.
As long as the large-scale official army has not completely degenerated, the army needs such a fighting being as the backbone, otherwise how can we talk about combat effectiveness?
After that, the Ning Mansion called attention to the existence of these new martial arts scholars and paid more attention to the polo players.
Except for those few guys who have the strength and potential to challenge the martial arts scholars, all the other new martial arts scholars have been assigned to serve in the Beijing camp.
This time, outsiders were stunned and caused quite a degree of shock.
Those few Wu Xiucai who entered the army were all awarded official positions as low-level officers and became members of the large-scale official and military system. Although they were only ninth-grade military attachés, were they still officers?
Not to mention the reaction of the other six families of the Hachigong family, everyone who has a certain influence in the army knows that Ningrong and his family have returned to the army.
Although the current foreshadowing is just a group of low-level military attachés, if there are more of these beings, who knows if there will be several powerful beings who will rise all the way up to become big bosses in the military?
By the way, after one of the main players of the Ningfu Polo Team was successfully admitted to Wu Xiucai, the entire Polo League was in a state of excitement.
The strength of the Ningfu Polo Team is undeniable, but how many weak players are there in the Polo League A?
Since the main polo player of the Ningfu Polo Team can pass the martial arts examination and enter the army and become an official in one fell swoop, wouldn't other polo players with good abilities also have the same opportunity?
Apart from anything else, all the star players in the Polo League are agitated and a little excited at this time.
Not only the powerful polo players were agitated, but also the family bosses behind them were also affected at this time.
What Ning Mansion can do, they can naturally imitate.
However, they are still a little hesitant to ask them to use family resources to help a number of families to successfully turn over their children from being slaves to military attachés.
It would be fine if the family gave birth to a son and repaid the kindness, but if he encountered a white-eyed wolf, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?
But the military boss who really has a long-term vision can't help but his heartbeat speeds up.
As mentioned earlier, the military does not have a complete military attache training system. Basically, the low-level military attachés without a backstage are all trained with swords and guns.
Of course, if there is no war for a long time, those who are good at flattering people will naturally be promoted in the army.
Anyway, the military does not have a systematic training system for low-level military attachés. Whether soldiers can be promoted or not depends mostly on the generals' wishes.
But things are different now. Ning Mansion's actions gave the military boss another way of thinking.
Cultivating a large number of qualified low-level military officers through military training will be beneficial to itself, the family behind it, and the army.
In the past, the military leaders did not take it seriously.
The so-called martial champions basically started from the rank of Long Jinwei, and they were more like expert guards recruited by the emperor from the people.
The grades of each one are quite high, and they are all at least the sixth grade when they first join the company.
As long as he performs well, it will be no problem to enter the ranks of third-grade senior officials in a few years.
But such a third-grade military attache had no foundation at all in the military, but he was a person whom the emperor trusted quite a bit.
Generally, the Imperial Guards and Dragon Imperial Guards who guard the palace are controlled by such beings, and they don't have to worry about the loss of military power.
Most of the Wu Jinshi also entered the ranks of the Royal Guards, and rarely entered the local garrison or border army.
Because of this, the number of troops that the royal family can reliably control is not large, and even the Beijing camp stationed on the outskirts of Beijing cannot truly control it...
