Chapter 373 The Promising Second Political Master (Please Subscribe)

Talking to the old lady about the development plans of the two states in the southwest border is tantamount to playing the harp to an ox.

She didn't care at all, or she didn't want to get involved.

Adhering to the policy of neither supporting nor opposing, neither participating nor holding back, I want to be a pure bystander.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang's attitude was quite disapproving, and her dissatisfaction was even written on her face.

Who are you showing this to?

Jia Cong was disdainful in his heart, but he just didn't want to say bad words to him.

Do you really think he doesn't know the true mentality of the old lady and Mrs. Wang?

Is it just a hope that Concubine Yuan will give birth to a prince, and the prosperity and wealth of Rong Mansion will be pinned on the prince who has not yet been born?

Speaking of which, it is still an old method used by the Xungui family to maintain their status.

Binding the future of the family to a certain prince will lead to both prosperity and loss.

I never thought about becoming strong through my own efforts!

If it is powerful enough that even the royal family would not dare to offend easily, wouldn't it be a more relaxed and unrestrained life?

It can only be said that old thinking is not so easy to break.

Obviously the old lady and Mrs. Wang are still limited to traditional thinking.

Jia Cong doesn't care too much about this!

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the Rong Mansion has resources or not.

It’s also funny to say!

Obviously, Jia Huan and he were both from the Rong Mansion, but the Rong Mansion did not directly help the two brothers much.

On the contrary, Ning Mansion performed quite well.

At least, all the responsibilities that a clan leader should fulfill are done well.

The support given to Yu is all real and not empty words.

The Ning Mansion also put a lot of thought into the development of the two southwest states.

At least, all the suggestions they made to Jia Huan were implemented in a conscientious manner.

It has to be said that Qin Keqing, who received an education from the royal elite, is really outstanding in terms of vision, insight and courage, much better than many men.

Not to mention that the old lady now is incomparable, even the old lady in her youth is equally incomparable.

Mrs. Wang is just a standard idiot!

Of course, brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong didn't expect to get strong support from the Rong Mansion, as long as they didn't hold back.

There are some things that cannot be communicated with the old lady and Mrs. Wang.

Because everyone’s thinking patterns and ideas are not on the same frequency band at all.

Jia Cong didn't stay in Rongqing Hall for long and quickly left.

"Brother Cong, come to the big study room to talk!"

Mr. Zheng Er left with him and invited Jia Cong to come to the big study as a guest.

Jia Cong couldn't refuse, and was very curious about what Mr. Zheng wanted to say to him.

"The government can't give you two brothers much support, so don't have any resentment in your heart!"

Unexpectedly, when Master Zheng opened his mouth, he was shocked and stunned Jia Cong.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Zheng Er couldn't help but chuckle, and finally said helplessly: "I can still see clearly some things, and you don't need to fool me!"

"I guess you brothers won't be able to use the resources in the mansion!"

"However, if it is a matter in the court and you still need news from various places, just ask!"

Mr. Zheng Er chuckled and said, "There's not much I can do to help, that's all!"

Jia Cong was shocked and said hurriedly: "Second uncle, you're welcome, these are enough!"

But I was quite surprised, thinking that Mr. Zheng Er would tell me this.

But it is obvious that Mr. Zheng Er understands certain things in his heart.

"Hey, I still know something about Brother Huan!"

Mr. Zheng Er continued to smile bitterly: "To be honest, my uncle can't understand what this kid is doing!"

"However, Brother Huan's hard work is indispensable for the current situation in the house. Second uncle is aware of this, but he just doesn't know how to help!"

As long as the conditions and environment are right, people will make progress.

This is the case with Mr. Zheng Er. His abilities may not have improved much, but his improvement in vision is definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

Previously, although he was said to be the head of the Rong Mansion, due to his own abilities and the constraints of the old lady, he could not actually make use of many family resources.

Throughout the entire original work of Red Mansions, it seems that the most outstanding thing he did was to help Jia Yucun recover.

But here, it is not only the work of Mr. Zheng, but also the work of Wang Ziteng!

As for other performances that can show the power of his family, I can't find any.

The second master Zheng in the original novel Red Mansions is a fool from beginning to end.

For no other reason than that I simply haven’t experienced enough exercise!

When he was sitting on the bench in the Ministry of Industry, he was just getting by. After he was suddenly promoted, he didn't understand the rules and ways inside. He was easily deceived by his retainers and his family's children and almost died.

But now Mr. Zheng's situation is completely different.

Under Jia Huan's torment, he left the practical yamen of the Ministry of Industry early.

First, he participated in the treasury collection that all courtiers avoided, which really offended many people.

But I have to say that although people don't like coming to collect debts, and they don't dare to do it too much, it really trains people. Mr. Zheng Er has improved during this period.

In the subsequent careers of Taipu Temple and Honglu Temple, they all held real power.

Although the two yamen are not too important, they are still the so-called Jiuqing yamen.

The doorways and rules inside, as well as some things in the court, opened Mr. Zheng's eyes, and his knowledge naturally improved.

Especially when you are the boss of Honglu Temple, you can participate in the Umrah.

The ups and downs and various disturbances at the Xiaochao meeting were things that Master Zheng had never seen before, or had personally participated in.

As a bystander, he was already frightened, let alone taking the initiative to participate.

After finally fighting hard to reach the position of the third-level general secretary, the second master of politics felt that he had reached the top.

Being able to access a large amount of local information every day makes Mr. Zheng feel that his vision and knowledge have been improved to a new level.

It's a pity that the improvement of vision and knowledge does not mean that his ability has improved.

Another crucial point is that Mr. Zheng has no available manpower.

All the ambitious Qingke husbands raised in the house went to the clan school to teach and take the imperial examination.

The rest are basically guys who just want to hang around and get by.

They are all very sharp-tongued and their words are pleasant. Listening to them for a while every day will make you feel much better. But if you want to rely on them to do practical things, you can't count on them at all.

Because of this, although Mr. Zheng's official position has been promoted, and the resources and energy that the Rong Mansion can provide have increased, he does not feel that he can do anything.

Mr. Zheng Er has been tempered in the officialdom and is very self-aware of his own abilities!

We also know what the situation is in the mansion. Jia Huan and Jia Cong don't have to expect much resource subsidies. In the end, they have to rely on themselves to fight.

Of course, with him watching, Rong Mansion will not hold back the two brothers. He can still do this.

In terms of resource allocation, it can no longer be achieved evenly, so don't expect Jia Huan and Jia Cong to help in other aspects. This is what he thinks.

In fact, he didn't know that the general affairs envoy could be of great help to Jia Huan.

Just convenient information is what Jia Huan needs.

However, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the local information received by the General Administration Bureau.

This is also the main reason why the General Affairs Office came to an end!

In the past, the General Administration Bureau had agencies and personnel stationed in the local area, and they could supervise and inspect local affairs in a timely manner. It was very difficult to deceive them.

However, the current General Administration Bureau is just a normal reporting agency. It no longer has the authority to supervise local areas, otherwise it would not be so marginalized.

Jia Cong was not a talkative person either. Although he was surprised by Master Zheng's words, he didn't know how to respond. He could only say that he already knew what was going on.

Of course, after what Master Zheng Er did, he was in a good mood.

If the house is full of people like the old lady and Mrs. Wang, apart from other things, the number of visits will definitely decrease in the future. This is a sure thing.

Now that Mr. Zheng has made a statement, if he wants to find out some news, the first choice is naturally Mr. Zheng.

According to Jia Huan, it would be a pure waste if resources are not utilized properly.

After leaving Rong Mansion, Jia Cong turned around and went to Xue's house across the street.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were both at home and received his prospective son-in-law warmly.

Jia Cong didn't talk nonsense. He had serious military habits and went straight to the topic after just a few words of greeting.

What I’m talking about is the wedding date with Xue Baochai, which I plan to complete as soon as possible!

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan are of course absolutely committed. Anyway, the process of three matchmakers and six appointments is almost over. There will be no problem in getting married at this time, at least there is no one to blame outside.

As for why he was so eager, Jia Cong did not directly explain the reason.

I didn't stay at the Xue family for too long. After a banquet, I said goodbye and left.

Although no specific duties have been assigned to him yet, Jia Cong has a lot to do.

When Jia Huan was away, he had to handle some remaining affairs on behalf of Jia Huan.

For example, have a good exchange with Prince Zhongshun to soothe his restless heart.

On the other side, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan also talked about Jia Cong, and they had some guesses about his eagerness to get married.

"It probably has something to do with Master Pardon!"

Xue Pan guessed: "But this is a good thing for my sister, we must prepare quickly!"

"As for your marriage to Yingchun, you can't put it behind your sister. It won't sound good if it's revealed!"

Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly, and the conversation changed to Xue Pan's marriage.

"Then let's do it together!"

Xue Pan didn't care. He chuckled and said: "After one month, I will get married first, and my sister will get married one month later. Although it is a little impatient, is there nothing we can do?"

"That's all!"
