Jia Heng took charge of the Ningguo Mansion and started moving things into the mansion from the morning until the afternoon when everything was ready.
Jia Zheng asked Jia Lian to call him and said that he had prepared a banquet in the East Garden to celebrate Jia Heng's move.
After all, this was the first time the tribesmen had met each other, so it was hard to refuse, so Jia Heng walked along the Chaoshou verandah towards a compound with houses and rockeries stacked on top of each other.
Dongfu Mansion occupies a vast area. The main house in a row of five rooms has several entrances from the front and back, and there are several entrances to the left and right courtyards. Along the way, Jia Heng saw some women with pearls and green hair, served by maids.
, standing in front of the Moon Gate and looking out.
When they saw Jia Heng passing by, some of them were even bold enough to make flirtatious glances at Jia Heng and Jia Lian.
Jia Heng frowned, looked at Jia Lian aside, and said, "Who are these people?"
Jia Lian looked a little unnatural and said: "Brother Heng, these are Brother Zhen's house-fills. They were originally maids who were disgraced. There are about a dozen of them, some of whom have been sent out. There are still three rooms here, and we haven't had time to move in yet."
Come on, your sister-in-law is just about to send someone away."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I will send them some money from the public servant and send them out to live alone as usual."
Since they are Jia Zhen's concubines, it is unreasonable to live in Ningguo Mansion. These women should be given a sum of money and allowed to go out and make a living on their own.
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Your sister-in-law said the same thing. After the food is finished, you and your sister-in-law will discuss it. Your sister-in-law said that she will compensate you."
Jia Heng looked calm and noncommittal.
He planned to leave the affairs in the inner house to Ke Qing. As for Sister Feng, he had a vague feeling that Sister Feng might have other motives for being so nice to him.
While the two were talking, they entered the noisy courtyard. At this time, the old and young men of Jia's family were already seated at the table. Seeing Jia Heng's arrival, they all stood up.
Jia Heng said: "Everyone, please sit down. We have met each other in the ancestral hall before, and we are not outsiders. Now Heng has received the grace of the Holy Spirit and was recommended by Master Zheng to worship his ancestors with the descendants of the Ningguo branch. He feels both honored and worried.
I think that our Jiamen has been established in Shenjing for hundreds of years. Except for Mr. Jing who practices Taoism in the temple, no one has made a fortune from the imperial examination. As for those who practiced martial arts and joined the army, there is no one. Heng is now the clan leader. I feel really sad. Now I can't
Don’t plan for the future.”
Everyone was smiling and talking in agreement, but upon hearing the words, their faces became solemn, knowing that there must be more to the story.
At this time, Jia Heng also glanced at the old and young men of the Jia clan, and said warmly: "Everyone, please stop standing. Sit down and talk."
As he said that, he sat down regardless of the people with different thoughts.
Seeing this, everyone also sat down one after another.
Confucianism in Jia Dynasty said in a clear voice: "What Zi Yu said is true. Previously, Zhu'er in Xifu wanted to take the imperial examination and enter the school early at the age of fourteen. However, God is jealous of talented people. Alas... Now, the old man teaches in clan studies.
Xue Mengtong, looking at all the children in the clan, it is rare to find such a seed of reading.
Jia Zheng on the side also sighed when Dai Ru mentioned his son.
Jia Heng said: "What the Confucian Duke said is true, but is there not a single one of the hundreds of children in the clan who has made progress in studying? From Heng's point of view, for the children who are making progress in studying, they should also hire famous teachers to refine their craftsmanship.
The only way is to work bravely and diligently in your career. For those who are lively and unwilling to study, you can also hire martial arts masters, teach them martial arts and military strategies, and join the army to find a career in the army. This is the right way to extend the clan."
Speaking of which, it is very strange for the men of the Jia tribe. Even Jia Yun, a son of the Jia tribe who shined in the original "A Dream of Red Mansions", did not join the army or practice martial arts.
We must revolve around Ning and Rong's two houses.
Jia Zheng twirled his beard, nodded and said, "What Zi Yu said is true."
He thought to himself that he had really found the right person when he begged Zi Yu to be the leader of his Jia clan in the court that day. He studied and practiced martial arts. This was the way to become the leader of the Guangda clan.
Others heard the words and agreed, but some didn't take it seriously.
For example, Jia Rong, whose face was as gloomy as water at the moment, looked coldly at the young man in green shirt talking eloquently in the center of the crowd, feeling a surge of irritation and hatred in his heart.
This man ruined everything for him!
Now, in public, you are saying this kind of thing to get an advantage and act like a good boy?
Take the imperial examination or join the army?
Who wouldn’t say something about the situation? Aren’t you, Mr. Heng, just a white man with no fame at all? I’ve never seen you join the army?
Nowadays, there is unrest in all directions in the world, and the Eastern invaders are raging in northern Xinjiang. If you join the army and strive for wealth, you will die!
As for studying for the imperial examination?
How could studying be so easy? As soon as he saw that "something like that", his head felt as big as a bucket. And didn't he just listen to what the Confucian Grandfather said just now?
There aren’t many people in the family who have the talent to study, and Grandpa Dai Confucianism is very old and is still a child. Where can he go to study?
"I shouldn't have tipped off the news in the first place. I was really blinded by lard! Even though I was scolded by my father a few times, who would have known after I left? The servants inside and outside still wanted to call me Uncle Rong!
It's fine now, it's all over!" Jia Rong was resentful in her heart, her eyes were lowered, and the knuckles of the hand holding the wine glass turned slightly white.
Jia Qiang, who was on the side, noticed that Jia Rong's expression was not right. She paused for a moment, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and sighed in her heart.
"Brother Rong most likely hates this Uncle Heng, but no one can accept this. A good man who was a traitor to the Ning Kingdom is now living under someone else's roof and has no home."
Jia Qiang's eyes flickered, but she didn't intend to persuade.
There is a saying that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will gain.
If Uncle Heng and Brother Rong fight to the death, then the Dongfu family fortune may one day fall on him.
He is the great-great-grandson of Ning Guo, and Jia Zhen did such shameless things to him, and now he is thrown into prison, which is really satisfying.
Jia Rong, on the other side, raised his head and drank the drink, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. Looking at the green-shirted young man who was like a star holding the moon, talking and laughing freely, resentment in his heart grew like wild weeds, and instantly filled his heart.
On the other side of the room, facing the gazes of the old and young men of the Jia clan, Jia Heng said loudly: "Nowadays, clan studies in the clan are rudimentary. I plan to allocate money from the public to rebuild clan schools, hire famous teachers, and build our Jia Chongwen Hall.
For the children of the clan to study for the imperial examination."
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking and looked shocked.
Jia Dairu's old face has changed. If he rebuilds his family history, how will he deal with himself then?
Jia Heng captured Dai Ru's disappointed look and added: "The Chongwen Hall is newly built. Dai Ru Gong has worked hard and made great achievements. He can also take advantage of the opportunity to take care of his old age and return home to entertain his grandchildren. The clan will not treat him badly and will allocate money as usual."
Of course, if you don’t want to give up your interest in teaching, you can also educate young children to read and teach in the clan school.”
Jia Dairu's academic level could only teach children to read a few words. As for his career, he would ask Mr. Song Yuan from the Imperial College to hire another famous teacher.
Hearing this, Jia Dairu felt relieved and said with a smile: "Zi Yu, although I am very old, I don't want to go home and rest and be a useless idler. Please leave a place for me in the primary school."
"
As soon as this statement came out, all the young and old men of the Jia clan present laughed and praised him.
Suddenly, the originally stiff atmosphere became warmer.
Jia Heng said with a smile: "The Confucian Duke was obsessed with education. He may not be able to leave his name in the genealogy and history of our Jia clan, hundreds of years later, for future generations to look up to."
Although Jia Dairu was not good at imperial examinations, he was still decent, and he was not disgusting in appearance.
In fact, not all people in the Jia clan are a den of snakes and rats.
When Jia Dairu heard this, his mood was agitated, and his eyes were even slightly red, and he said: "Ziyu, it is definitely better for an old man to be a young man."
But it scratched the itch all of a sudden, and half a lifetime was wasted. If he could be recognized as a virtuous person by teaching and educating people, and his name would be recorded in the genealogy and history, even a hundred years later, he would have passed away with a smile on his face.
As for the weight and credibility of Jia Heng's words, he is a great sage recognized by scholarly public opinion, and he obviously still has weight.
The surrounding Jia clan men looked at this scene with envy and enthusiasm.
Looking at the young man wearing a straight green shirt and sitting upright, his eyes gradually changed.
As expected, he is a well-known gift from both the government and the public. You cannot treat him like a child just because he is young.’
Jia Heng said loudly: "In Chongwen Hall, all children's admission fees are free, and examinations are also organized regularly. This is the school of our Jia clan, and the public school must allocate money to support it every year."
As soon as this was said, all the young and old men present showed joy.
Jia Zheng looked respectful and praised, "Zi Yu is truly a virtuous and virtuous person."
Even if this is spread, it is an act of kindness, showing respect to the elderly and caring for the young in the clan, and promoting culture and education.
Jia Heng said: "Master Zheng is ridiculous. Of course, if the children of the clan do not want to study, they can also enter the Jia family's martial arts school. I heard that there is an old man named Jiao Da in the Ning Mansion, who once accompanied the country.
My father-in-law has been in the army several times and survived among the dead. Although he is old and frail, he still has martial arts skills in the army and can teach martial arts to Mongolian children. In addition, I will also find people in the army to teach the children of the clan to practice martial arts.
Wu."
Since he has planned to inherit the clan, he can no longer regard the clan as a burden.
It can be said that from the moment he took charge of Ningguo Mansion and became the patriarch, he had to realize that the struggle situation had changed drastically.

He was no longer a sidekick who was bullied by Jia Zhen, but became the head of the Jia clan.
What greeted him was also a rush exam.
If he doesn't want the Jia people to become a burden to him and instead become a help to him, he needs to reform the Jia people and select some real clan elites.
Who said that the eight rooms in Shenjing are all useless snacks?
Not really.
Besides, even a piece of toilet paper is still useful.
There are some children whose character is undecided. They take care of themselves, study and practice martial arts, and engage in merchants and goods. Well, everyone has a bright future.
If you use people well, there will be no useless people in the world. If you use people poorly, there will be no useful people in the world.
In fact, in the feudal patriarchal society, the wise king appointed people on their merits, which did not exclude nepotism. Both were used together.
Because we are of the same clan, we will both be prosperous and suffer losses.
To put it bluntly, if Jia Heng wants to rebel in the future, in addition to the close confidants who can be entrusted with important tasks, there will also be a group of elite disciples selected from the clan who are also determined to do so.
Because the rebellion is... to kill the nine tribes!
For example, Cao Mengde not only had five good generals, but also how many talents did Xiahou and the Cao family provide him?
The Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu...
Let’s talk about Li Tang, when they were conquering the world, such as Li Shentong, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong...
They are all generals with great military exploits.
On the contrary, without the support of the clan, it is extremely easy to be usurped by outsiders because of the imbalance of power.
"As for whether there will be white-eyed wolves in the Jia clan, this is the mentality of a weak person from a small family! How can those who achieve great things ever have such thoughts? For example, Cao Cao, when he supported the children of the clan to study and practice martial arts, did he ever have such thoughts? Are you worried? There are really white-eyed wolves, just press them to death."
Jia Heng put down his wine glass, his eyes calmly swept over the Jia clan members present, and landed on the young disciple.
"Of course, the scum of the clan like Jia She and Jia Zhen still have to be swept away forcefully. As for the playboys like Jia Lian and Bao Yu, there is no need to pay attention to them as long as they don't cause trouble or do evil."
Jia Heng decided to set up two halls for studying and practicing martial arts: "Chongwen" and "Lectures on Martial Arts". After that, he stopped talking about business and just laughed and drank. After accepting toasts from his peers and juniors, he then went to the literary generation and generation generation. Toast, push glasses and change glasses.
After a banquet, everyone in the Jia clan left happily.
