The Second Master of the Red Chamber

"After a while, it will be the day when the Hanlin Academy will be closed, but I don't know what you think?" Xu Xueshi looked at his son-in-law, and he was very satisfied no matter how he looked at it, but there were some things that he still needed Ask the previous sentence.

Jia Lian also thought about this matter in his heart, "The idea in my son-in-law's heart is simple and tight. It is naturally the best to stay in the museum." The official position of being an editor and editor is not considered high, but it is definitely important in terms of position, otherwise, the emperor would not have arranged the annual first class to be gilded in the Imperial Academy.

In Xu Xueshi's heart, he also felt that it would be best to stay in the Imperial Academy, but when he talked about this with Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng refused, "My son has been delayed in the Imperial Academy for three years. , although it is very honorable to be able to stay in the Hanlin Academy as an official, but after all, the official position there is not in charge of practical affairs, and it is difficult to make some achievements. It’s not really doing anything.”

Although Xu Cheng's thoughts were a little unsteady, Xueshi Xu couldn't say that his choice was wrong. After all, being a noble scholar in the Imperial Academy is not bad. So under such circumstances, he Naturally, he wanted to ask his son-in-law what he thought.But Jia Lian's words made Xueshi Xu feel extremely satisfied, "That's the way it is, but it's a pity that Cheng'er's thoughts are not thorough enough, and I don't understand you."

Jia Lian also knows what Xu Cheng thinks, and it is not easy to walk this path in a serious manner. For example, his eldest uncle, the number one scholar in high school, entered the Imperial Academy for editing and writing. He has always dealt with books, and his official position has always been in the clear Qingliu's reputation is extremely good, but up to now, he is no more than the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.And the second uncle was really not comparable to the elder uncle when he was studying at the beginning. After he became a Jinshi, he became a master, and then he sought to be released, but now he has become the governor of Fujian from the second rank. Compared with the elder uncle, It is really a better future, not to mention the benefits brought to the family.

Jia Lian also remembered these official systems since he was a child, and he was very interested in them. Who would not remember clearly the necessities for survival that he would rely on in the future?

As a person who likes to plan, he has already planned his future life in an extremely orderly manner. Although there may be slight deviations in the process, it is unavoidable. For example, he first thought about The most important thing is to enter the Imperial Academy through the scientific examination, and then directly enter the Imperial Academy, but it is a pity that he is only a second-tier biography, and can only enter the Imperial Academy as a scholar. Three years have passed in a flash, and it is not that nothing has been achieved in these three years. On the emperor's side, maybe he still has a little impression of him, and with the relatives and friends at home doing some activities, staying in the embassy should not be a problem.

Jia Lian felt that it was a good thing to be able to stay in the library. When he successfully became the editor of the Imperial Academy, he cheerfully invited Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, two of his closest friends, to dinner, but Feng Ziying gave him a rude blow. "Look at you, you're just a seventh-rank official. There are countless people in the capital who are higher than you."

Jia Lian originally wanted to refute, but just looked at the faces of the two good friends, and fell silent again. He is a seventh-rank official, and he seems to have a bright future. One of the guards is the chief executive of the sixth rank, and he is much more advanced than himself.

Wei Ruolan was more kind, and took the initiative to comfort her, "Lian'er just concentrates on studying. If he becomes a military officer, we may not be able to compare with him."

Feng Ziying still agrees with Jia Lian's ability, "This is true, and it is precisely because of this that I feel that it is not worth it for him. He obviously has a bright future, but why should he study something by himself? As a result, the imperial examination also takes the exam. I won, and the Hanlin Academy was also stuck, it is this grade, and I can't go up for a long time. If Lian'er had joined the martial arts, but now..."

"Okay, you go." Jia Lian tapped him with chopsticks, "What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that I drank too much? I chose this road by myself. Don't think that I am not as good as you two now. Wait until In the future, I still don’t know who is better?”

When Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan thought about their own future, they also felt that Jia Lian's words might be right. If there was a war, their future would have nothing to say. Bandits, it's not their turn at all, if they can't fight the enemy, no matter how big the official position is, it's just an empty title.

Thinking this way, Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Lian'er, you think clearly. In such a day, there is really no future for being a military officer. Ruolan is doing well in front of the imperial court. I am in the barracks, so I really understand." Extremely, if a soldier does not fight, he is nothing." He thought of his father, General Feng Tang, although he was a general, but he was only in charge of training soldiers.

Not to mention what the Holy Majesty has done to the honorable family of the general family these days, the future of the general can be seen.

"It's done," Wei Ruolan immediately glared at him, "After a few drinks, you really dare to say anything. If you don't have a fight, you have to practice your skills first, and when there is a fight You can gain something while fighting, but if you usually do nothing, even if there is a battle, it is nothing more than going to die."

Feng Ziying just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Jia Lian said with a smile, "I think Ziying, you are in the Shenji camp, there is something very interesting about you!"

Feng Ziying immediately asked, "Oh, how did you say that?"

"Shenji Camp is a good place. There are all those weapons and weapons there," Jia Lian said curiously. He was really curious about how far the current weapons have developed. Regarding foreign firearms, he can only It was difficult to find a few words from the books. Now it is different from modern times. The information on weapons is not something you can just buy a magazine. "I got a few muskets from foreigners, and they look really powerful. If With something like this in the army, the lethality is needless to say."

Feng Ziying was in the Shenji camp, and she knew a lot about firearms. Hearing Jia Lian's expectation, she was very embarrassed to discourage the enthusiasm of her good friend, but unfortunately, the reality is so cruel, "Lianer, this is not me, it's just Those guns in the Shenji Battalion really can’t be compared with foreigners.”

"We used to have a lot of firearms, and they were of high quality," Feng Ziying said of what she heard from her father Feng Tang, "It's a pity that there has been no war these days, and many things are rusted in the warehouse. "

Jia Lian couldn't help frowning when he heard his words, why did he feel that he could already see the horrors of the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, "How do you say this, even if there is no war, these things will not be abandoned, right? "

Feng Ziying shook her head, but she didn't want to say any more, she just smiled and raised her glass and said, "Come, come, let's drink, drink."

Jia Lian knew in her heart that she shouldn't ask any more questions, so she smiled slightly, and then said Feng Ziying's words, "Well, have a drink. But I still have a few good muskets here. If you are interested, I can give them to you as well."

Feng Ziying was naturally very interested. As long as he is a man, there is no one who is not interested in weapons. "Okay, good brother, you still think about us."

Wei Ruolan also said, "If that's the case, then we won't be polite."

Jia Lian said with a slight smile, "Why are you so polite to me? It's just that I'm also somewhat interested in the muskets in the Shenji camp. If there is a chance, Ziying don't forget to let me take a look. "

"That's not a problem." Feng Ziying waved his hand, "I can't do other things. It's okay to take out a few guns. Who made you my brother? You've already spoken to me. How can I not satisfy you? ?”

"Good brother!" Jia Lian poured him a glass of wine with a smile, but in her heart, she couldn't help having some thoughts.

As a modern person who has taken history classes since childhood, even if he is not an angry youth, it is hard not to have endless resentment towards China's modern history. Although the era he is currently in is the era in the Dream of the Red Chamber, those situations in the future may not necessarily happen. , not to mention the fact that there is still a long way to go when such a situation will happen, but he just can't help but have such worries in his heart, and he has an idea of ​​wanting to change.

However, Jia Lian did not promote such things as separation of powers and people's sovereignty. He didn't know all about the results of big thinkers, but judging from what he learned, it was not a good result. No idea of ​​following in the footsteps.

But doing nothing is not pleasant. Britain has a constitutional monarchy, the United States has the separation of powers, and France has popular sovereignty, but he feels that it is not as cruel as Germany. Although what Germany has done is not very satisfactory, it has led to All kinds of tragedies, the country's development is not so smooth, but it is much better than China being passively beaten...

It's a pity that I can only think about these things in my head now, no matter what he is now, he is too weak, unless he wants to be famous and crazy, otherwise this is definitely not a good time.

The author has something to say: Germany is actually very cruel, and what I understand is only the point in the history textbook, which is not comprehensive, so don’t despise me too much~ I will study hard~
