Why did Niu Jizong come from?

As mentioned earlier, Yong Yibo gathered a group of white-headed men to go to the Ministry of Personnel to fight.

It was fine in the first two days, but it was just a verbal battle. Later, I used to make trouble and roll around - in order to find a background for my descendants, these old nobles really took the initiative.

In this way, the Ministry of Personnel gritted its teeth and persevered for five days, and refused to retreat for a moment.

It was not until Niu Jizong threatened to bring his cousin, King Nan'an, to help, that the situation finally changed.

After "friendly consultation", the Ministry of Personnel made the following concessions in a way that was completely unexplained manner:

First, the position of the chief clerk from the seventh rank and two classics from the eighth rank was given up, and the nobles and craftsmen competed for office.

Second, the "Yangyi Hall" and four eighth-rank Xuezheng and four ninth-rank assistants are added, responsible for teaching some simple military techniques and guiding and urging students to strengthen their bodies - to put it bluntly, it is to teach sports.

Needless to ask, this Yangyi Hall is specially set up for the children of nobles.

Although his official position is a little lower, he is incomparable to the titles of fifth and sixth ranks, and he is even worse than those who have been awarded ranks in the army.

But this is the sequence of academic officials recognized by the imperial court [Emperor], and theoretically it is also a noble person among civil servants. Of course, given the controversial nature of engineering, there is no way to talk about this noble person at all, but it is still much more precious than ordinary military positions and short titles.

Third, the four trainers in Zhizhitang were raised to the eighth grade, equal to the doctor of mathematics, and four trainers in the ninth grade were added.

Fourth, the Classics Department added two more books from eighth grade, and the total number was increased to four; the Mingjing Hall and Mingxin Hall each added one eighth grade doctor and one ninth grade assistant teacher.

Generally speaking, the Ministry of Personnel has transferred some vacancy under the premise of expanding its overall official positions, and even raised the upper limit of craftsmen according to the emperor's wishes - hasn't the position of the seventh-rank chief clerk been given up?

As for whether the craftsman and the officials can take this position from the nobles, it will not be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel.

This plan B is already a great concession in the eyes of the Ministry of Personnel, but in Niu Jizong's view, it is worse than a waste of money. Not to mention that it obviously means to instigate internal conflicts between craftsmen and nobles, just saying that the opening quota is small and the official position is completely unacceptable!

You should know that in addition to teaching students doctoral programs, Imperial College also set up a Imperial College to teach royal relatives, super nobles, and the descendants of ministers above the third rank.

The doctors who work in this Imperial College are all fifth-ranked, and even the assistants are from the sixth-ranked!

Although the Imperial College has become increasingly declining since the current dynasty, so that doctoral students and assistant teachers of Imperial College have been regarded as honorary titles similar to titles, but for this reason, there are currently 14 or 5 officials with the title of Doctor of Imperial College, including ministers of various departments, temple ministers, and young ministers.

This is also the direction that the emperor and Jiao Shun instructed Niu Ji to attack after discussing.

Currently, craftsmen are unable to get into official positions of seventh rank or above. This "Imperial College" is not only paving the way for the future, but also throwing out bait to attract nobles to take the lead.

The emperor means that the nobles first take over this pit, and when the craftsmen accumulate enough achievements and qualifications in the future, they can promote them along this path.

But who would have thought that those nobles and relatives with backgrounds were just those who "do great things and cherish their own lives, and refuse to take risks when they see small profits." Niu Jizong was useless and only pulled some idle white-headed men to help.

In this way, the pressure given is naturally far less than expected. How could the Ministry of Personnel accept such conditions?

When I went there yesterday, the Shangshu Wang Zhe was not allowed to leave the disease, so he only left Feng Yang, the doctor of the Qing official department, to come forward to do it perfunctorily.

Niu Jizong wanted to make a big fuss and forced Wang Zhe to come out and clean up the mess.

However, this time the white-haired men stopped doing it. After all, no one is a fool. Now they can barely get the eighth-rank and ninth-rank official positions they have won, but if they really want to win the fifth-rank official positions... even if they are only sixth-rank or seventh-rank official positions, how can they be the turn of these idle nobles to get involved?

When the white-headed men retreated, Niu Jizong suddenly felt numb.

He couldn't hold his face down and rolled around.

As for King Lanan's help, it was just a false threat. With the concubine stopped him, it was difficult to communicate with the news, let alone get the person out.

At the end of his life, Niu Jizong even thought about giving up the pot and simply presented the plan to the emperor. Anyway, he had already done his best.

But he was still unwilling to fail.

So after thinking about it, he set his mind on Rongguo Mansion again.

When the nobles were summoned, the reason why Niu Jizong did not bring him to the Rongning Mansion was on the surface because Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers all said they were sick at home and were inconvenient to disturb him. In fact, they were worried that Rongguo Mansion and Jiao Shun were too close to each other, and that they would steal the limelight from him.

But at this point, he has nothing to worry about.

But after he talked about Rongguo Mansion, he exchanged a few words with Jia Zheng. Then he turned around and took the initiative to mention Baoyu: "Uncle Shi, I heard that the second son in your mansion is often summoned into the palace to sit with Your Majesty to discuss the matter?"

"I dare not say that!"

Jia Zheng waved his hand quickly when he heard this: "The child has always been naughty and stupid. Entering the palace is just to listen to the teachings of the emperor. How can you talk about sitting and talking about the truth?"

“Haha~”

Niu Jizong smiled cheerfully: "Uncle Shi is so humble. The second young master made a lot of achievements in the Ministry of Works two years ago, and the emperor even issued an order to praise him. This is not fake, right?"

"this……"

At that time, Jiao Shun still needed to rely on Rongguo Mansion to help, so he specially designed Jia Baoyu to be interested in studying things and learning knowledge, and eventually attracted the emperor's attention.

Many achievements were naturally made, but because they were fake, Jia Zheng did not dare to deny it, so he had to stroke his beard and responded to it in awe.

Seeing this, Niu Jizong immediately crawled along the snake: "My nephew is here for nothing, he wants to rely on the talent of the second young master to make the Ministry of Personnel convinced!"

Let the Ministry of Personnel be convinced?

Jia Zheng was confused when he heard this. Now he turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window. How could he know that Niu Jizong went to the Ministry of Personnel to fight?

Fortunately, he was quite wise and knew that with Jia Baoyu's ability, he would not be able to convince the Ministry of Personnel, even the sisters in the Grand View Garden might not be able to defend themselves!

At that moment, he waved his hands again and again: "Yong Yibo is afraid that he is not entrusted. That evil man is okay to recite a few wrong poems. He is useless except that, how dare he let him rush to the temple?!"

“Hey~”

Niu Jizong acted in disagreement: "It is said that the Taoist lord has no jokes. Since it was praised by Your Majesty himself, it is obvious that the men's talent and knowledge are not asked about it!"

As he said that, he stood up and said passionately: "I asked the son to come out, one to win the face of our nobles, and the other to consider the mansion. Now that the son has been granted a marriage to the emperor, he should naturally prepare for his career!"

"Now that engineering studies have added official positions in comparison with the Imperial College, the Imperial College Doctors dare not be similar to the Imperial College. It is not an exaggeration to set it to the sixth rank? I heard that the second prince has always disliked the imperial examinations. If he could obtain the position of this doctoral degree in engineering, wouldn't it be a perfect match for his intentions?!"

No ~

Then the rebellious son is not only unwilling to take the imperial examination, but he clearly doesn’t even want to be an official!

Jia Zheng couldn't help but complain in his heart, and at the same time he was a little moved. His family had originally expected Jia Yuanchun in the palace to get Baoyu a big and small title to inherit the family business.

But if you can enter the official career seriously, wouldn’t you be stronger than a short title?

only……

"It's really hard for a little dog to take on a big responsibility."

Jia Zheng refused helplessly and sincerely: "I'm afraid I can only disappoint Yong Yibo."

Although the opportunity is good, my son is really overwhelmed.

"Uncle Shi!"

Niu Jizong hurriedly said, "This theory of engineering is still the head of Jiao Jijiu. He has a master-servant relationship with the mansion. He heard that he specially pointed out the son of the mansion's butler, and donated silver to engineering science before we waited, and he was still willing to promote it, let alone the second son of the Uncle Shi family?!"

"As long as Jiao Jijiu helps and teaches him step by step, the young master will naturally be invincible. At that time, he can set an example for the young noble children and set a clear path for everyone. Isn't this a good thing for both public and private affairs and good luck in both worlds?!"

This is actually what Niu Jizong is really about.

The emperor and Jiao Shun pushed him to the front desk. He was naturally unhappy and must have no choice but to drag Jiao Shun into the water, but he could still try it - Besides, this is Jiao Shun's responsibility!

Jiao Shun was always insidious, cunning, and wise. If he could not refuse, he might have a way to settle the Ministry of Personnel.

Even if there is no way, at least someone will help you share the responsibility for the disadvantage of starting a military leader.

"this……"

Jia Zheng hesitated again.

Although he dare not underestimate Jiao Shun anymore, he always feels that Jiao Shun owes his own family - not to mention that the old lady, Wang and others always say that Jiao Shun is the support of Rongguo Mansion. Since that is the case, why not let him help Baoyu again?

And then there is...

The Lai family's affairs really made him a little unhappy. Although he had agreed to let Lai Shangrong go to Jiao Shun's path to become an official in the Ministry of Works, he never expected that the Lai family could take out 30,000 taels at once!

Especially after the garden was built!

You must know that even the dignified Rongguo Mansion was injured in the villa for the rest of the palace, and it has not recovered yet!

The comparison between these two things made him both angry with Lai Da's greed, and even more unhappy that Jiao Shun did not communicate with him anymore, so he asked the Lai family to donate the money to Engineering.

Isn’t this all the money from Rongguo Mansion?!

If you calculate inside and outside, isn’t it equivalent to Rongguo Mansion paying 30,000 taels of silver?

Wouldn't it be natural to ask Jiao Shun to find a shortage for Baoyu?

Seeing that he was silent, Niu Jizong seemed to be touched, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, I don't know if the young master can be at home, why should I come out and see him?"

"this……"

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he could not make such hasty decisions, so he said perfunctorily: "But unfortunately, the dog went out to visit friends early in the morning - I am very serious. I hope that Bo Yongyi will be lenient for a few days and let me think twice."

"Oh~ I'm not only for the decency of our nobles, but also for the sake of the mansion. Who knows... I'm just here, my nephew won't beg for mercy now, just hope that Uncle Shi will make a decision soon."

Niu Jizong hugged his fists helplessly and left Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as he got outside, Niu Jizong immediately changed his face to look gloomy, waved to his followers and ordered: "Go, according to what I told you in the morning, I will spread the news everywhere, and said that the second young master of Rongguo Mansion intends to work in engineering. Remember, the key point is that all his servants are working as officials in engineering, so it is natural that they are no problem to be the master!"

The follower responded neatly, turned around and selected more than a dozen people, and then headed to the mansions of various nobles and foreign relatives.

Niu Jizong turned around and glanced at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, sneered three times before getting in the car and leaving.

Let’s talk about Jia Zheng later.

After seeing Niu Jizong away, he was unable to rest in Rongxi Hall. To be honest, letting his son study as a "doctor" was quite tempting for him. After all, relying on the evil devil himself, I am afraid that he will be wasted his whole life in the cosmetics array.
