In the Ning Mansion, unless there is something particularly important, he will not handle external affairs there.
No matter whether it was Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. You, or Qin Keqing, Jia Rong had no idea of letting them get in touch with core affairs outside.
It has only been more than a year since he became the head of the Ning Mansion. Although there are many things he can do, there is nothing worth mentioning if you think about it carefully.
Clanology has produced many young students and scholars, which is quite shocking within the clan, but it is nothing to the outside world.
If most of the martial arts scholars who were not cultivated by ethnic studies entered the Beijing camp and became low-level military attachés, it would be absolutely impossible to attract special attention.
Unless, ethnology can cultivate a scholar or even a Jinshi.
In addition, those who have passed martial arts and can reach high positions in the military will really attract the special attention of those top beings.
The current Jia clan science only has a certain reputation.
As for the Jia family in the capital, there are signs and hope of re-emergence, but no one dares to guarantee whether it can really revive.
Therefore, the level of external affairs that Ning Mansion can access is really average.
It's not as important as Jia Rong's plan to form a polo league, and the alliance of interests that he got to know through interest disputes.
The polo league and the polo shop are Jia Rong's private property, and he has no intention of handing them over.
To be honest, the Ning Mansion's external network resources are not even inferior to those of the Rong Mansion.
Previously, among the founding Eight Gongs, the right to speak was quite weak.
The only powerful connection that can be established is Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace who has a private residence outside the palace.
Oh, by the way, there are also a bunch of dandies from Zi Xungui's circle.
After all, Jia Daihua, the second generation head of the Ning Mansion, although he was extremely capable and a big shot in the military, he did not have the same luck as Jia Daishan, the head of the Rong Mansion of the same generation.
Moreover, he passed away earlier than Jia Daishan, nearly thirty years now.
After such a long time, who can still remember his kindness?
Coupled with the unfortunate experience of Jia Jing, a cultivator of immortality, the situation of Ning Mansion can be said to be quite average, with not many reliable connections left.
Of course, as long as the core members of the government know what is going on, there is no need to let outsiders know the truth.
Not long after we sat down in the office, a boy came over to report.
"Uncle, there is news from Yangzhou that the first batch of ethnic studies students have already set off, and it is estimated that they will return in a few days!"
"Where are the rotation students? Have they arrived in Yangzhou?"
"Uncle, the rotation students have arrived, and this is the letter they sent!"
Jia Rong took the thick envelope, opened the letter paper inside and read it carefully.
Of the eight students who passed the ethnic studies exam this year, except for three who were preparing to take the scholar exam, the other five all arrived in Yangzhou successfully and entered the Yanzhou Xunyan Yushi Yamen to study with Lin Ruhai.
Naturally, the first batch of students have to be rotated back!
It can be said that he uses Lin Ruhai as a platform and does not want to increase the pressure because of too many students.
Originally, it was quite difficult for Lin Ruhai to preside over the collection of salt tax.
Of course, from the frequent exchange of letters, it can be seen that the ethnic studies students sent were able to help Lin Ruhai solve some of the problems.
After all, their identities are there, no matter which force in Yangzhou has to weigh them.
Perhaps the powerful men in the capital know some of the truths about the Ningrong Mansion, but this is definitely not a situation that the salt merchants in Yangzhou can understand.
They just know that Ningrong and Rongfu are two of the eight founders of the country, and they are the top powerful people in the capital.
As long as they have concerns, those ethnic studies students can help Lin Ruhai.
This is actually true!
According to the letters sent back by fellow guards, it can be seen that the first batch of past ethnic studies students helped Lin Ruhai a lot.
Not to mention the daily official duties and chores, just helping Lin Ruhai block the money offensive from Yangzhou Yanshang was a lot of effort.
Of course, in a place like Yangzhou, the first batch of ethnic studies students naturally contracted some bad habits, which is to be expected.
Helping Lin Ruhai block the money offensive, they themselves had some influence.
It is estimated that these students have at least hundreds of taels of silver in their hands at this time.
There are many, probably thousands of taels!
This is also the main reason why Jia Rong does the rotation, so that they will not be dazzled by the prosperity of Yangzhou.
At least after what happened in Yangzhou, they would not be fooled easily when they arrived at the local government office, and they would have a certain degree of resistance to the money offensive.
It would be great if I could learn some skills from Lin Ruhai.
Of course, Jia Rong didn't have high hopes.
What Lin Ruhai did was related to the financial stability of the Daqian Dynasty, and many children could not participate in it.
However, those few martial arts scholars have done well and have almost become Lin Ruhai's personal bodyguards. At least they have an advantage in terms of trust.
And their martial arts are not bad either. The basic martial arts taught by Jia Rong can be practiced all the way to the point where Qi and blood turn into strength.
This world is only suitable for the existence of spiritual power, and does not have other extraordinary powers.
Not only can Huajin warriors be able to dominate the world, they can at least become the top experts in the vast territory. This is absolutely no problem.
Of course, none of the several martial arts scholars have reached the level of Huajin, or even the level of Mingjin. The strongest one is the existence of Ningjin.
There is no way, their exercise time is still too short.
But that's it, combined with a pretty good riding skill, just a little training can unleash a pretty powerful combat effectiveness.
Once he charges on horseback, it will be difficult for a dozen or twenty people to stop him.
On several occasions, Lin Ruhai relied on the charge of several martial arts scholars to break out of Yan Ding's encirclement.
Why do salt blocks frequently occur? The water here is deep.
But there is one thing that the ethnic studies students made very clear in their letters, that is, the life of saltmen in various salt fields is really difficult.
Because it was a letter exchange, the details were too detailed and could not be explained clearly.
But Jia Rong is well-informed and has experienced too much, how can he not be clear about it?
It's not bad to be surrounded by Yan Ding. At least these people basically have families and families, they don't know how to get things done, and they don't dare to easily attack Lin Ruhai's official position.
The real danger was the private salt dealers I encountered by chance during two inspections.
In the era of salt and iron government, selling illegal salt was definitely a capital crime.
Those who have the courage to sell private salt are basically desperadoes. All of them have good martial arts skills, and they are always ready to die together, which is quite a headache.
During those two unintentional encounters, the saltmen around Lin Ruhai behaved very cowardly and did not dare to risk their lives at all. It was several martial arts scholars trained by the Jia family clan school who rode their horses and charged effectively to protect Lin Ruhai and escape safely...
