Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Looking at the current Rongguo Mansion, we can see that the retreat route planned by the ancestors of the Jia family has been implemented.

The eldest son, who was a military commander, retired to the side of Rongguo Mansion, and the second son, who was a civil servant, took charge of the house.

If Jia She had two legitimate sons, he might have gone back to his hometown to buy land in the name of studying and become the son of a rich man.

But Jia She only had one legitimate son, the second son Jia Lianlian, so he had no choice but to stay at home and continue to have sons.

If the end of the world hadn't come so quickly, Jia Cong might have returned to the south after marrying his wife.

Although the head of the family, Jia Zheng, did not take the imperial examinations on his own merits, several of the sons he trained were studying.

Even his direct grandson, Jia Lan, took the civil examination instead of the military examination. He didn't think that his family's background was that he was a military officer. He just wanted to change his family and become a civil servant.

However, Jia Zhu died too early, and Baoyu was too small. Therefore, Jia Zheng's civil servants worked hard and did not dare to make any mistakes.

He has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, so it’s not that he doesn’t want to be promoted. In addition to the limitations of his own talents, the biggest problem is that he has no arms.

In order to avoid suspicion, Jia Jing had become a Taoist priest. Originally, he was the most likely to be the leader of the Jia family's civil servants, but he was unlucky and happened to be at the critical moment of the succession of the throne.

Because of the problem of siding with each other, in order to preserve the two houses of Ning and Rong, they had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, they also have a good brother-in-law, Lin Ruhai, who is also a son of a noble family and is more favored by the emperor than him. Jia Zheng hopes that this brother-in-law will take up a high position as a civil servant.

But he also "died" of illness early. If he hadn't left the Jia Yucun card before his death, Jia Zheng would have been "alone" in the civil court.

What Tanchun said about opening a bookstore, building a printing house, and buying land, it seems that he wanted to buy property in the capital. This is completely inconsistent with the concept of his ancestors who said they should stay away from the imperial power and return to their hometown to become rich.

For Jia Zheng, this was against the will of his ancestors. Since he doesn't follow this path, shouldn't he give up the main hall of Rongguo Mansion to his elder brother Jia She?

But now looking at the eldest brother's character, he is really not the one who leads Jia's parents to young people.

He is nostalgic for his old love but has no talent. He really lives up to his ancestor's evaluation of him and is suitable to be an ordinary "rich man" at home.

Therefore, Tanchunti's suggestion is very good, but it is not easy to implement.

"Go and ask the third girl if she is at home? Ask her to come see me."

Jia Zheng thought about it for several months, but finally couldn't make up his mind.

He sighed in his heart, it would be great if Yuanchun had a son. In this way, he can continue to manage Rongguo Mansion in the name of the head of state, and he doesn't have to worry about falling out with Jia She.

"master!"

Tanchun happened to be back with Li Wan. When Jia Zheng summoned him, he went to see Jia Zheng with the things he had inspected.

"sit down!"

Jia Zheng looked at Tanchun and felt deeply relieved. Although Tanchun is a girl, she is more sensible than Baoyu. It's really rare to be able to plan for your family at such a young age.

It's a pity that she comes from a girl's family.

"Did you go to Taixue today?"

Both Tanchun and Li Wan need to report when they leave the house.

"Yes, I thought before that we have connections with my sister-in-law's family, so it should be fruitful. But now when I go to see it on site, I see that it is a small place with seven or eight bookstores. We don't have an advantage now. It opened late again, no wonder we couldn’t find any available talent.”

"This can't be rushed."

Jia Zheng finally laughed when he saw Tan Chun's anxious look.

No matter how smart Tanchun is, he is still a child and needs his guidance.

"I didn't remind you before because you are a girl who doesn't go out much and likes to take everything for granted. Now that you know how to check before going out, it shows that you have made progress."

Tanchun smiled shyly, and if she didn't give Jia Zheng a chance to give some guidance, how could she fill in her shortcomings?

She is now one year younger than Baoyu, and she has not traveled far away like the two sisters Xue Lin. No matter how smart she is, she can't be born aware of it, and she will definitely have some insignificant flaws.

"What I'm saying is that it's all daughters who only know how to read and don't know how to gain true knowledge through practice. That's why it's a joke. If I hadn't helped us to find out the truth, I would have been a big loser to my sister-in-law."

"Hahahaha, my son is already pretty good, better than your brothers."

"...Practice brings true knowledge. This saying is somewhat interesting. It shows that my son has really had an epiphany."

Jia Zheng once again lamented in his heart that it was a pity that Tanchun was not a man. Seeing that Tanchun still had something in his hand, he asked with interest:

"What's in this hand? What good stuff is there?"

"No, this is the information my daughter got when she went out this time. Because we built the store late, many talents have their own owners. I think these people are quite good, so why doesn't anyone accept them?"

"My daughter has gained experience this time and doesn't dare to make random decisions, so she brought it to the master for advice."

"Let me see."

Jia Zheng took it with interest and looked at the personnel information that Tanchun handed over one by one, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The people Tanchun handed over were the "borrowers".

These talents are naturally looked down upon in the eyes of King Beijing and others. Even the original Jia Zheng wouldn't notice it.

But he knew that his daughter Tanchun's thoughts were clever, so he was willing to take a look. Once he saw it, he felt that his daughter was right! Why haven't they thought of this before?

There are also factions among civil servants. Honest officials look down on corrupt officials, while honest officials and corrupt officials look down on officials like Jia Zheng who use the "back door".

This is even more despising to them than "Madame Ru" in the imperial examination.

But similarly, Shixun's descendants also look down on some "poor" among civil servants. In addition to doing well in the exam, I don’t know how to be an official!

Therefore, the civil servants also have different ideas and it is difficult to unite.

Jia Zheng was caught in the middle and had no support from above or below. He had not thought about starting from a small official or a small official. Only when Tanchun reminded him did he realize that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, which was true.

"These people do have some meaning, and they can all be used."

Jia Zheng finally chose to admit it. He planned to try a few first to see if he would gain true knowledge through practice.

"That's great! I also think they are interesting. Although they have various problems and are young at heart, they know how to learn and make progress, which shows that they can still be used."

Tanchun felt happy and proud after being appreciated by Jia Zheng, but suddenly frowned again.

"It's a pity that there are many people like this. If everyone supports it, it will cost a lot of money."

"Flowers should be spent. One or two of them can be used by the empress, and they are also our destiny."

Jia Zheng thought of his daughter and decided to give it a try.

When Yuanchun has a son, he will definitely become the head of the country. Now that I'm thinking all over the place and being timid, it's better to do what my daughter said.

He is now fifty years old, and no matter how much he improves, he will still be in the fourth rank. He might as well give it a try, and maybe he can get a "noble title".

"I have chosen a place to be my ancestor's field. If you are free some other time, you can come with me to see it!"
