There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

Chapter 135 The 2rd Year of Kangxi

When the Central Academy first came out, because of the big cakes painted by Kangxi, many children of the clan, officials and aristocratic families enrolled one after another.Those who didn't learn well even tried to bribe the master to pass the test with bribes, but all of them were publicly exposed and posted at the gate.

There are especially a few families of civil servants who used to be quite famous. The door is almost filled with rotten tomatoes smashed by the common people, and the stench can take half a month to dissipate!

Regardless of this, afterward, these officials were either dereliction of duty, denounced or arrested for corruption. Many officials called it "fishing law enforcement" behind their backs.

If it is reduced to this point, I am afraid that I will be speechless to see my ancestors after death.

He shuddered immediately!

Jia Zheng moved his hips uneasily, and said cautiously, "Ru Hai, it's not going to happen, is it?"

"...What do you think?" Lin Ruhai just replied indifferently, "Baoyu has always hated these things. Anyone who wants to study and pursue progress will be nicknamed 'Luxi'. You said, if you enter the Imperial College... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Zheng's face turned pale.

He thought about what would happen to Jia Baoyu after he was sent to the Imperial College, and then he made a statement in front of everyone, especially His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Rong.

"Brother Zheng, let's not talk about other younger brothers. It's just that Brother Lian is famous in the family for not being able to study, but he was admitted to the Central School by himself... I see that you also have a grandson like Jia Lan." , why don't you let him try?"

Jia Lan was Jia Zheng's only grandson, but in the Rongguo Mansion, he seemed to see no movement. Although he was a descendant, he lived as well as Jia Huan, who was a concubine.

The meaning in Lin Ruhai's words made Jia Zheng's face flushed suddenly. After being rejected by Lin Ruhai several times, he didn't have the face to continue cursing, forced a smile on his face and left in a hurry.

As soon as Jia Zheng left, Jia Min lifted the curtain and came in from the outside with a sneer: "Baoyu, Baoyu, I've been boasting for ten years! But now I can't even pass the exam!"

Lin Ruhai smiled: "I asked Baoyu a few times about his homework. He is really smart, not worse than Brother Zhu back then. It's just that his temper has been completely spoiled by teaching, and Brother Zheng will live alone in the future. It will be good to have food and clothing in the future.”

"Speaking of which, I didn't say it," Jia Min said with a worried face, "I think mother's attitude is a bit strange."

"what happened?"

"A few days ago, my mother mentioned that she wanted to marry Baoyu and Daiyu. After I refused, my mother actually said..." Jia Min's face was full of hesitation and fear, "She told me in private that this Rongguo Mansion will definitely be a good place in the future. It belongs to Baoyu!"

"Nonsense!" Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily, "Even though Brother She is not making progress, Lian'er is still good after all. According to the level he is currently in the Central Academy, he will definitely have a place in the court in the future. Besides, he is Brother She. How could he let Baoyu, the second wife's son, inherit it! Unless..."

"Unless..." Jia Min also muttered.

"Unless Lian'er is gone!" The two stood up at the same time and shouted in unison.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and Lin Ruhai slapped the table heavily for a while, sneering again and again: "Old lady, how could the old lady have such thoughts? Could it be that Lian'er is not her own grandson?"

"Don't talk about it! At this point, I'm afraid my mother must have made up her mind! What, what should I do?" Jia Min was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, the old lady will definitely not make a move immediately, I have an idea—" Lin Ruhai frowned tightly.

"What's the idea?"

"Taiwan employs a lot of people, and the emperor has always been worried about the lack of manpower. The first batch of students from the Central Academy who went to Taiwan were all from ordinary backgrounds. I will go to the Central Academy tomorrow to say hello to Lian'er and ask him to apply.

First, after being a meritorious service, take the lead to leave an impression in the emperor's heart, and second, you can avoid a few years and establish a career on the island! "

"How many years have you been here? How can Feng girl bear it?"

"If you can't take it, go together! Lian'er's family is also a fool, always listening to your second sister-in-law, saying that Lian'er is not allowed to suffer!" The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the more he nodded, "I think that's it manage!"

Two days later, Lin Ruhai, who went to inspect the Central Academy, found Jia Lian in private, and told him everything Jia Min had learned.

In fact, Jia Lian knew in his heart that the second room had no good intentions for him, and he was full of gratitude and guilt for Lin Ruhai's persuasion.

In the previous life, Lin Ruhai also persuaded himself not to work for the Rongguo Mansion any more, but to get a student quota in the Central Academy or the Imperial College, and he... because of the old lady's objection, he chose to continue helping with household affairs at home, devoting himself to it.

But it wasn't until he died that he realized that in Jia Mu's eyes, his value was equivalent to that of a steward.Even in front of many people in the capital city they regard him as a confidant and friend, but they call him a wine bag and rice bag behind their backs, and he is the best negative representative in the mouths of the big families in the capital city!

Jia Lian wanted to smile, but the memories of the previous life flooded into his heart one after another. He couldn't hold back the smile, and the corners of his mouth turned down like a smile, not a smile, but not a cry: "...uncle, nephew knows your kindness .”

"Brother Lian." Lin Ruhai's heart was so high that he was afraid that Jia Lian would be incompetent, so he lowered his voice to appear soft and gentle, "Perhaps your aunt and I made a mistake, but the emperor is currently employing people, if you can join If you go in, you will definitely be able to make a career! You have a family and a career, and you have a wife and a daughter now, so you have to plan for the future of yourself and your children!"

"My nephew knows my uncle's kindness!" Jia Lian smiled slightly, "Uncle needn't worry, in fact, my nephew has already reported to the master today to put his name in the next batch of support lists."

"Oh?" Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked at Jia Lian carefully, and shouted from ear to ear, "Okay, good job!"

Jia Lian didn't tell his family about this plan, not even Wang Xifeng.Jia Lian knew that if she didn't take Wang Xifeng away from here, she might be encouraged by Mrs. Wang to embezzle money and use it for profit.

What's more, after going to Taiwan, there is still a big opportunity waiting for him!

Jia Lian bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, returned to the classroom and only smiled slightly when facing the curious or hostile gazes of his classmates.

He thought he wanted to go when the first batch went to Taiwan, but the first batch of candidates were only the children of common people, if he joined as an official family, it would only attract too much attention!

But the second batch is different, no one knows the emperor's plan...but he does!Jia Lian is confident, this time in Taiwan, he must perform impressively!

……

Prince Kang's good news was sent to the capital one by one.

The recovery of Taiwan Island is going very smoothly. Zheng Jing’s behavior of being greedy and lustful on the island and bullying the good people has long been unbearable, but the army on the island is all left by Zheng Chenggong. Loyal and loyal, ordinary people are unarmed and have no power to resist.

When Prince Kang's army entered, many people were indeed scared out of their wits at first. They only wanted to remember the crazy deeds of Jiading's three massacres of Yangzhou for ten days that the old people repeatedly mentioned, and they were afraid that the massacre of the city would happen again.

However, Prince Kang has long been ordered by Kangxi, and he knows that if he does this on the island, he will only put the Qing army on the opposite side of everyone. Taiwan Island is an isolated island and not inland. Just in case.

Therefore, not only was he not dissatisfied with the people's avoidance of talking about it, but he was even respectful to the corporals in the local area, reusing the aborigines and the survivors of the previous dynasty, and made the officers and soldiers not enter the households, do not take money, and maintain strict law and order.

After a period of time, under the management of Prince Kang's army, many villages on Taiwan Island reached the point where they did not pick up lost items on the road.This sense of security makes ordinary people open their hearts very quickly, not to mention the imperial decree posted on the gates of each city, which mentioned that the Han people in Taiwan Island do not need to shave their hair, and the speed of spread is wide and fast. Within a month, the rest of the villages or cities also raised the white flag and surrendered, with no intention of fighting again.

Many of the sailors left behind by Zheng Jing raised their flags and surrendered. Some aides suggested that they should be imprisoned first and then dealt with. However, Prince Kang had no intention of being imprisoned.

After discussing with his staff, he dispersed the ordinary soldiers of the Zheng Jing Navy and assigned them to the army to subtly influence them. Other officials or generals were sent to Ordo to be responsible for the construction of water conservancy projects.

A few thorns were removed, and soon most of the soldiers who were civilians got used to life in the navy of the Qing Dynasty, and some even thought about shaving their heads.Prince Kang was very satisfied with this, and he agreed with Kangxi's idea more and more in his heart. He even boasted about writing the memorial, and the rainbow fart was full of blows!

Kangxi looked at it carefully, and felt embarrassed to read it any longer - the flattering of this ancient man made people feel even more chilled.The more he looked at it, the more he became speechless, and finally he slapped Liang Jiugong who was standing aside: "Prince Kang's flattering skills, I can see that you can learn from him!"

Liang Jiugong glanced at it, and almost laughed out loud.He suppressed his smile, and his shoulders twitched: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this servant is not well-educated, and I'm afraid he won't be able to learn the skills of Prince Kang!"

Kangxi rolled his eyes, but didn't continue to joke, but just pondered for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't expect that after the hair-shaving order was lifted on Taiwan Island, some Han people decided to shave their hair in order to be consistent with the Qing army... This obviously broke Kangxi's thinking.We must know that what Kangxi wanted was to use Taiwan as a test site. After success, the existence of the hair-shaving order can be eliminated gradually inland.

After all, with a bare forehead...it's really ugly.

Wait... I'm afraid these people are soft bones, and they want to shave their hair to please Shangfeng. Thinking of this, Kangxi thought about it for a while, and wrote back to Prince Kang, if anyone is willing, it is okay, but there is no need to praise or force.

Immediately afterwards, people were sent to Guangzhou to go to the ocean with the ship, and the second batch of talents sent to Taiwan was selected!

Kangxi fell into contemplation. Kangxi had already selected the candidate for the ship to go to the ocean from the beginning, and planned to send Nalan Xingde there.Nalan Xingde took many classes with Dong Hanshuang, and his ability in foreign languages ​​far surpassed that of others. Now he can speak many languages ​​fluently. It is obviously the best way to send him to the ocean to find various talents and books back to the inland. Good candidate.

On the contrary, it was the people who went to Taiwan. Kangxi repeatedly thought about the three names of Li Guangdi, Zhang Yushu, and Xu Qianxue.From the two princes to Ordo, all the people sent to Taiwan Island are Manchus. The second batch used to be a group of Han civil servants, who domesticated the local aborigines by the way.

However, these three talents are all extremely outstanding in intelligence and ability, and Kangxi was very satisfied with their previous work, so putting them together inevitably makes Kangxi somewhat hesitant.

From the perspective of political orientation, Li Guangdi and Suo'etu are closer, while Xu Qianxue is closer to Mingzhu. Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yushu is more suitable.He has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to conflict with others. He has outstanding talents after studying Ming history. More importantly, he has been effective in assisting Jin Fu in managing the Yellow River. This time he can just help Ordo build a reservoir.

After finalizing the candidates to lead the team, the second is the list of people who will go to this round.Kangxi pulled out the first batch of lists, carefully checked the names on it, and saw a name that made him raise his eyebrows at a glance.

Jia Lian ranked first.

Sure enough, when Kangxi looked down, among the densely packed names, there were none of those clansmen or officials' children who studied in the Central Academy!

Seeing that going to Taiwan is going to be a hard-working young man, he naturally doesn't want to be that muddy guy. After graduating from the Central Academy, Kangxi promised to become a low-level official in a prefecture or county, which is at least an official!

Kangxi sneered, only to announce that Lin Ruhai entered the palace and told him to go to the Central Academy again and ask the students to submit a career intention form.

"Since they want to become officials so much, but don't want to contribute to the country, then I can't make things difficult for them."

Facing Lin Ruhai's question marks all over his head, Kangxi just smiled and said, "Lin Aiqing just needs to go to the printing room to make some lists, ask the students to check in them to determine their future direction, and then teach students according to their aptitude."
