51. Chapter 51
"Mom misunderstood." Qianxi smiled and explained patiently: "There is a saying in the art of war: Cuju is used for military strength, so it is necessary to train warriors to know their talents. All our famous generals in the Yan Dynasty used Cuju to train soldiers, strengthen their bodies, and practice
Formation, coordination and cooperation. My second brother is good at this!"
"Besides, building a ball in front of the emperor is different from playing in the streets. Mother, think about it, why does the emperor perform a hundred tricks in front of the envoys from all over the world? Isn't it to show the prosperity of our country and the prosperity of our country?"
"Second brother goes to perform Cuju in front of the emperor to show off the national etiquette and promote the country's prestige! It is to show the true character of my Dayan man in front of friendly countries such as Rouran, Buyeo, and Dailiang! By then, second brother will not only succeed in one battle, but also
It will be famous all over the world."
Qian Xi's words were so conclusive that Luo couldn't help but feel moved: "Is what Xi'er said true?"
"Of course I take it seriously. Mr. Fan also said that a few years ago, when I, Dayan, fought against the Di Rong cavalry, in the entire border town of Zhuo County, 'the soldiers took bows and horses as their main business, and the families took Cuju as their learning', in order to make the soldiers,
The people should strengthen their bodies and resist foreign enemies." Qian Xi looked serious.
Luo Shi was still in disbelief: "Does it mean that if we let your second brother perform Cuju, we can find a way out for your second brother? I can't believe it."
"Of course it's not enough to just perform Cuju!" Qian Xi raised her eyebrows: "Even if the second brother can stand out, be pleased by the Sacred Heart, and be applauded by the envoys, the most he can do is reward gold and silver. What good will it do to the second brother? What we need to let the emperor see is
, The second brother has the talent of a general who can command the army, so the emperor will cherish him and recruit him. Unfortunately, the second brother is still white now, and even if he wants to be given an official position by the Holy Emperor!"
"Then what should we do?" Luo finally figured out the clue.
Qian Xi smiled and said: "I, Yan, have hundreds of officials waiting to be selected, all of which are prepared by the emperor to select talents. If the second brother is the official to be selected, once he shows his talents at the Baixi Festival, the emperor will immediately
Entrusted with an official position. No matter how big or small the official position is, the second brother can be regarded as having a future, right?"
As soon as the conversation cleared the clouds, Mother Gu and Luo looked at each other in confusion. They had always been afraid that Qin Lang would be like this for the rest of their lives, and they did not dare to expect him to become a general or a prime minister. They only hoped that he could restrain his temper, even if he found a casual job to make a living. At this moment, Qian Xi
Luo Shi and Mrs. Gu were in disbelief when trying to find a bright road for Qin Lang. When they thought about it carefully, Qian Xi's words were linked to each other and made sense. It was as if Qin Lang succeeded once and for all.
"Can Lang'er really become a military attache? He is only fifteen this year." Luo was worried.
"Mother, why should you worry? Xiang Luo became a sage master at the age of seven, Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve, and his eldest brother at fifteen has already become famous in the capital. There are several ministers around the emperor who are only fifteen or sixteen years old. At this time, let the second brother experience
, it’s the right time.”
Luo Shi's hand on the small table trembled slightly: "Then how should we let Lang'er be the candidate for selection, recommend and recommend, inspect and recruit, Xi'er, you can't even say it, right?"
There was no hint of laughter on her face, Qian Xi looked at Luo: "In addition to these methods, the late emperor also used a method of selecting officials."
"What is it?" Gu's mother was also anxious.
"It's 'recruitment to become an official', also known as recruitment. A candidate to be elected is five million yuan, which is a thousand taels of gold. Is mother willing to contribute?" Qianxi was unambiguous.
"Buying an official position?!" Luo's hand shook, and the teacup in his hand turned over and rolled around on the small table. Gold is a small matter, but reputation is a big deal. The Qin Mansion is the home of a prince.
"This, this, this, how to make..."
It’s no wonder that Luo was frightened. In the Yan Kingdom’s “scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants”, merchants ranked at the bottom. It was almost impossible to pursue an official career. Therefore, when the country was in financial difficulty, the imperial court would set up
Zunxuan allowed the children of businessmen to exchange property for official positions. Although most of them were just for pomp and sound, there were a few who had a smooth official career and reached the rank of public minister.
As for the children of noble families, there is no need to use this method at all. Qin Lang's situation is really special.
"The appointment is originally established by the imperial court, but it doesn't sound good to say it out loud. But as long as the emperor is entrusted with actual duties, who knows that the candidate is selected by appointment?"
Luo Shi was stunned.
Qian Xi smiled and explained: "I have nearly a thousand candidates for election in Yan State. There is no need to go to the court when summoned, and there is no need to go to the official office to answer questions on weekdays. As long as you don't look through the roster, who would know that the second brother has donated the official title?
."
"But things still have to be done securely and secretly. It's best for my family to come forward to handle it. It's better for my mother to go back to pay homage to my uncle. If my aunt pays a visit, it will definitely happen."
Hearing that Qianxi asked her Tuoluo family to handle this matter, Luo suddenly felt a big stone fall in her heart. She was also about to ask her eldest brother for help. If it was really unreliable, his eldest brother would definitely dissuade her. If she could
She would be most at ease if her eldest brother would handle the test.
"It's a big deal after all. Master..." Gu's mother reminded her hurriedly when she saw that Luo Shi had made up her mind.
Looking at the two of them, Qian Xi said without hesitation: "If father knew about it, he wouldn't even think about it happening."
"Ah..." Mother Gu was stunned.
Luo Shi nodded silently. How could a man as upright and arrogant as Qin Xiuyan agree to buying an official position? Not only him, but also the entire Qin family, no matter who knew it, they would stand up and obstruct it. This is what it is.
It is an extraordinary method to take the wrong approach and give it a try.
"Get ready and go back to your parents' house tomorrow."
Luo's determination and love for her children did not disappoint Qian Xi.
I reported it to Mrs. Dou and went to the Luo family. The next day Luo came back and brought good news. The uncle of the Luo family was very supportive!
Unlike other princely families, the Luo family has been dealing with businessmen for generations and has no aloof and arrogant thoughts. They always value practical results. Since the method is feasible and the Luo family is not short of money, why not give it a try? Let’s follow the Luo family’s advice.
According to the explanation, the uncle of the Luo family thought that Qin Lang wanted to be a military attache, but was hindered by his second wife and his wife, so he immediately expressed his generosity and offered his nephew a helping hand.
One evening ten days later, Qin Lang hurried home.
"Today is not a day for a family banquet. As soon as the second young master came back, he ran to the madam." Caiwei came back from outside with a smile to tell Qianxi the news.
It should take some time to complete the matter of selecting the groom, but there are only two or three months left to prepare for the Baixi Opera Festival. Luo followed Qian Xi's suggestion and first bought a Cuju venue and a skill hall for the purpose.
Qin Lang hoarded Ju Ke and trained the ball-building army. Qin Lang hurried back this time, probably because he heard the news.
It's late at night, the moon hangs dimly in the sky, but Qian Xi's heart is extremely clear.
If this happens, she will really have a firm foothold in the Qin family. When helping Qin Lang, she can't help but think of Bai Yu. Now she can be regarded as a brother and a brother, with family ties. After rebirth, God will not
