"I didn't mean to hide it. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it with my mouth!"
The eldest man spoke leisurely, ignoring the obscure expressions of the powerful family leaders around him and the frequent glances of the second master Zheng. He smiled and said: "Why don't you come to my Jia clan to learn with your own eyes in three days, and everything will be understood. !”
"Jia Enhou, don't you want to take advantage of a few days of free time to hide the secrets of the Jia clan?"
The person who spoke was the younger brother of the current head of the Bull family in Zhenguo. He had a smile on his face but what he said was very rude: "If this is really the case, I won't agree to it!"
"Yes, Enhou, you can't be so stingy!"
Someone from the Niu family came forward, and other nobles joined in and put pressure on the eldest man. Even people from the Shi family and the Wang family were among them.
"What are you hiding from you?"
The elder sneered and said: "Studying is a matter for the children of the clan. Is there really any secret to success? It's just a matter of cleaning up the ethos and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Do you believe me?"
All the dignitaries and powerful people looked at each other in confusion. What the elder said was indeed polite.
"Then we have to send someone to study with the Jia family for these three days, okay?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, the people from Zhenguo Niu's family jumped out again and made a rather excessive request.
It is said that as the Ningrong and Ningfus fell into silence, among the eight founding princes, the Niu family was the most respected.
The head of the Niu family is now the Minister of the Ministry of War. He can be said to be the leader of the founding noble family, and the weight of his words is not ordinary.
It's just that Niu Laoer's words about sending people to study in the Jia family are still a bit excessive.
"Watch it or not!"
Today is a happy day. The eldest master did not have a fit and only spoke lightly. Anyway, he has no personal secrets in his heart and is not afraid of others reading the constitution of the clan school.
"Brother..."
Mr. Zheng Er is anxious. He is not familiar with clan studies at all, but he thinks that clan studies can definitely help students improve their secrets. What if outsiders learn it?
"No problem!"
Ignoring the bright eyes of the powerful people around him, the eldest master said indifferently: "As I said before, reading is your own business. If you don't have the interest and talent in reading, it's useless no matter how hard you try!"
This statement makes a lot of sense and makes the leaders of the noble families around me think deeply.
When the banquet started, the eldest master led twelve new talents to toast everywhere, staying away from this group of thoughtful and powerful people in the noble family.
With the guarantee from the eldest master, the leaders of the noble family were not in a hurry. They all gathered together to chat and laugh quietly and exchange some information they knew with each other.
"Niu Lao Er, did you go a little too far just now?"
Except for Ning Rong and Ning Rong, the eight founding fathers of the country, the other six families were prosperous and declining at this time. Although the Niu family was the most prosperous at this time, the other families were not vegetarians, and no one was afraid of Niu Lao Er.
"Huh, what's not too much?"
Niu Laoer, however, disagreed. He followed the elder's movements with his eyes and said coldly: "Jia Enhou has risen too fast. He is about to ascend to the position of minister. It's time to suppress him!"
Others suddenly realized that they were worried that Marquis Jia En would seize the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.
This is a competition for resources. It involves such a major interest as the Minister of War. It is understandable that the Niu family is wary of Jia Enhou.
It's just a pity that the big boss has risen too fast, and he did not rely on the resources of the nobles, but relied on his own ability to carve out a bloody path. So what if the Niu family is the leader of the nobles, there is really no good way to stop the big boss.
Although the Eight Founding Fathers are not a whole body, they are the core of the circle of nobles.
As long as it is not a last resort, even if the Hachiko family dislikes each other, they will not easily try to force outsiders to take advantage of each other.
Although the Niu family in Zhenguo doesn't like the elder master, they won't attack him rashly. They just do some dirty tricks secretly, but they can't avoid it.
This time, the Jia family's academics suddenly broke out, and twelve scholars were admitted in one go. This shocked the Niu family in Zhenguo, seeing that the Jia family was about to rise again.
What's even more outrageous is that the Jia family's move from martial arts to civil society was too fast.
As long as the Jia Family School can continuously produce students who can pass the examinations in the future, it will not take ten years to completely switch from martial arts to literature and become a member of the civil service group.
This is the decision of the Jia family, and the Bull family of Zhenguo has nothing to do with it.
But during the period when the Jia family was completely transitioning from martial arts to civil society, if the Jia family wanted to rise completely, it was very likely that they would have to rob the Niu family of resources, which was something the Niu family would never tolerate.
What is even more worrying is whether the civil servant group intends to control the Ministry of War through the Jia family, thereby achieving the goal of completely seizing the Ministry of War from the hands of the Xungui Group?
This is an issue that the Niu family, the leader of the Xungui Group, has to consider.
How could the elder know that the Niu family in Zhenguo had regarded him as their biggest competitor, and even related to the ownership of the Ministry of War, the core interest of the Xungui Group?
If he knew, he would just say that he is overthinking.
Is it really that easy to change my family from Wu to Wen?
A lively banquet was held from noon to evening. After seeing off the guests and the twelve new talents, all the masters of the Rong Mansion gathered in the Rongqing Hall.
"Brother, you shouldn't agree to Niu Laoer's unreasonable request!"
As soon as he sat down, Master Zheng said with dissatisfaction on his face: "The family science is the hope for the rise of our Jia family, we can't let outsiders see the secret!"
"What secrets can there be in ethnic studies? You, my second brother, never go to ethnic studies. What do you know?"
The elder rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Since you were so unhappy, why didn't you object at the time? Isn't it too late to blame me now?"
"Brother you!"
Mr. Zheng Er was speechless for a moment. Could he say that he did not dare to stab Niu Lao Er and the others?
"Okay, what are you guys copying?"
Jia Mu put away the smile on her face, looked at the elder and asked, "What's going on, boss?"
"What else could be going on? Those noble families are jealous and want to learn how to run the school!"
The elder said indifferently: "Niu Laoer wanted to know what the clan school does and how it trains students, so I agreed to let him visit the clan academy!"
"Boss, you are so confused!"
Mother Jia's face changed slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly: "If outsiders learn the methods of running a clan school, wouldn't it be possible to quickly cultivate imperial examination talents?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole room became cold and solemn.
"It's not that simple!"
The eldest man curled his lips and spoke, breaking the dull atmosphere in the room: "The reason why clan science can suddenly break out is just to completely implement the previous regulations, it is not a secret!"
Seeing everyone looking over with disbelief, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, I have always said that studying is a personal matter. Only those who are talented and willing to study can stand out. If you are not talented and have no intention of going to school, you are
It’s useless to put pressure every day!”
"Even if you ask the Niu family to read the rules and regulations of clan culture, they won't be able to learn it!"
Jia Mu looked relaxed and asked, "Why is this?"
The others also looked over, wondering why the elder was so sure.
"The Niu family is not prosperous, and the scarcity of clan members is the biggest problem!"
The elder smiled and said: "For noble families like ours, who have ample resources and live quite comfortably, there are not many people who are willing to spend their time and study hard!"
"Second brother, don't be in a hurry to speak. Wait until I speak before it's too late!"
Seeing that the second child in politics had different opinions, the eldest man waved his hand and said with a smile: "I said at the banquet before that teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is not a joke. Anyone who has other interests and hobbies and is willing to spend energy and thought on them can learn at home.
Separate them all and hire specialized personnel to teach them!"
"Brother, you can't do this!"
The second master of Zheng couldn't help it, and objected loudly: "Everything is inferior, only education is good, and only the imperial examination is the right one, and everything else is crooked!"
"Second brother, your mind is not broken, right?"
The elder retorted unceremoniously: "If a scholar puts a pat on his back, you take him as the truth. Do you think our Rong Mansion and the Xungui Family have all become crooked?"
These words were so vicious that even Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang were dissatisfied with Mr. Zheng, and the people in the first house were even more unhappy.
"Hey, with my second son, you are eating and drinking from the mansion, and you have mastered a lot of the mansion's resources, but in the end you still look down on Rongfu?"
Ignoring the second master's face, which turned as red as a pig's liver, the eldest master sneered, "You're still in the house. If the honorable family hears it outside, you can just get out of the officialdom. Even if Yuan Chun has
If opportunity arises, you can only be a commoner!"
"You, you, I, I, I..."
Mr. Zheng's face turned pale with fright, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, but he was too panicked to speak.
The eldest master's tactics are so vicious that if anyone outside knows about the second master Zheng's thoughts, his future and that of his second wife will be ruined.
No one looks down on a traitor who betrays his class, let alone an incompetent person like Mr. Zheng.
"That's enough, boss, it's not like you don't know what the second brother meant?"
Mother Jia stopped and changed the subject: "Talk about clan studies, boss, can you guarantee that outsiders can't secretly learn clan clan methods?"
"I said, if you want to learn the methods of the Jia clan, you must have a very large number of clan members. Otherwise, unless there is a real reading genius, it will all be in vain!"
The elder said calmly: "Not only that, you have to continue to invest money and endure the pressure of not producing results for three to five years or even seven or eight years, so that it is possible to reach the level of our Jia clan!"
"What if other families really have such determination and perseverance?"
Jia's mother asked back: "When the time comes, won't there be one more powerful enemy?"
"Old lady, if there really is such a family, even without the rules of our clan, won't they rise?"
