Entering the main hall of the manor, in this relatively leisurely atmosphere, He Shen briefly told his brother He Lin what happened during his trip to Beijing.
Although He Lin was surprised by his brother's genius idea to make the glass business so big...
However, when he heard that He Shen and his second uncle Chang Rong used the favors and connections left behind by his grandfather and father as bargaining chips in the transaction, he still felt a little sad.
How could a family that was originally a good family become like this after the death of their father and mother?
"..."
"Okay, brother, don't think too much. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. Everything else is useless."
Isn't your dream to go into battle to kill the enemy and command thousands of troops? "
"With the connections and favors accumulated by these two generations, you will at least be a sixth-grade captain once you join the army. You can manage hundreds of people under your command."
"When the time comes, if you perform another meritorious service, I can arrange for someone to push you down from the position of being a member of the fifth rank of Qianhu."
"Qianhu is already a powerful general in the middle level in the military, and he has a certain degree of autonomy."
"The next ten or eight years are just a matter of hard work. It will be no problem to become a third-grade general soldier who controls a military region."
He Shen patted his younger brother He Lin on the shoulder, acting like an elder brother like a father, and spoke with sincerity, revealing He Lin's specific climbing path.
When He Lin heard this, she nodded as she should.
In this era, it is so easy for a bannerman to rise.
As long as you are a bannerman, have some connections in your family, and are not a playboy yourself, it is easy to get ahead.
During the Qing Dynasty, the bannermen had the highest status, followed by the Mongols, Hui and Tibetans, and the Han people had the lowest status!
When He Lin heard this, she changed the topic and said with some uncertainty.
"Brother, before I join the army, should I go to a clan school to study for a few years and learn some military skills?"
"…………"
"Niu Hulu clan study? Studying the art of war?"
He Shen couldn't help but sneered a few times when he heard this, and said angrily: "Forget it, even if you learn the art of war on your own, it is better than going to the clan to learn the art of war for a few years."
…………
"Brother, how did you say this?"
He Lin was shocked when she heard this.
"…………"
"You can go to school anywhere, but don't go to Niu Hulu's clan to study."
"That damn place was a place where a person stayed for a few years and turned into a useless snack when he came out."
"Our fifth grandpa, who is the main lineage, relies on his status as the younger brother of the current queen mother, and actually regards clan studies as the basis for his family to make a living."
"On weekdays, whether it's the education subsidy given by the clan or the tuition fee for each student, most of it goes into the pocket of this seemingly amiable fifth grandfather."
"He managed a huge school by himself. In order to save money, he only hired a few poor scholars to teach."
"These poor scholars don't have much ability themselves. How can they teach good students?"
"..."
When He Lin heard this, her face was full of confusion and she said curiously: "Brother Zong of the main lineage, didn't he study military science in clan studies for several years before he could join the leadership of the fourth-grade deputy guard army?"
"…………"
"Bah, that old guy really knows how to put money on his face!"
"Zong Weiwei just took a few years of lessons from that old man because of the face of the current Queen Mother."
"Actually, Zong Weiwei's real master is someone else."
“Furthermore, do you really think that Zong Weiwei was able to join the rank of deputy guard of the fourth rank at the age of less than thirty because of his true strength?
"Zong Weiwei is different from us. He is the nephew of the current Emperor Qianlong, and because of the love and killing within the royal family since ancient times, he is far more popular than other princes and Baylor..."
"My good brother, until now, you still don't understand what's going on with this stinky mess in the Qing Dynasty..."
He Shen is very knowledgeable about this matter.
Before He Lin could speak, He Shen sneered.
"Brother, please do the math carefully. Since the establishment of this bullshit family science, how many of our Niu Hulu clan, among the dozens of branches of our generation, have been able to take action and stand alone as children of aristocratic families?"
He Lin followed these words and thought about it, and it turned out to be the case.
"…………"
He Lin nodded and said helplessly: "It would be great if our father was still here.
"The real power comes from the face of a second-grade official, which is more reliable than anything else!"
"..."
"Brother, don't be sad. Our parents have passed away many years ago. We should also look up and move forward!"
"By the way, brother, haven't you always wanted to learn martial arts? How about I arrange for you to go to the Shaolin Temple..."
Seeing that his brother He Lin was in a low mood, He Shen sighed secretly and hurriedly changed the topic.
Sure enough, it was about learning martial arts that she had been thinking about for a long time. He Lin had no time to be sentimental and hurriedly cheered up and asked: "Brother, what do you mean..."
"As the saying goes, the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin. Are you not attracted to Feng?"
He Shen didn't reply and asked.
"..."
"But, I heard people say that Shaolin Temple only accepts children. I'm eleven years old now and they don't want me..."
Although He Lin is young, he is not an ignorant brat. He knows a lot about the affairs of the world and complained helplessly.
"Not only Shaolin, but also other major martial arts sects. As long as they start in the middle, no one is willing to show real skills."
"…………"
"Hey, that's true, but Jianghu is just a corner of the court. We may not be able to influence the big guys in the court, but we can still do it by knocking on the Jianghu sect."
When He Shen said this, he hesitated to speak and deliberately put it off.
"…………"
"Brother, what you said was to smash it with silver, right?"
When He Lin talked about this, he looked unhappy. With his dream of becoming a martial artist, he had an instinctive rejection of using money to throw money at her.
For He Lin, who has the dream of being a hero, it is really disgusting to use copper-smelling things in the world.
"…………"
"Hey, brother, don't forget, people in the world are human beings too, and they all love money!"
He Shen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said again disdainfully.
"..."
Helin's face turned red when she heard this.
Apparently, he doesn't think so.
He believes that the heroes of the world are all immortals who regard money as dirt and royal power as rubbish.
"…………"
Seeing his brother like this, He Shen said earnestly.
"As an old saying goes, the bustle in the world is all for the benefit of the future; the bustle of the world is for the benefit of the future."
"Since ancient times, chivalrous people have used martial arts to break the law, Confucianism has used literature to disrupt government, and businessmen have used wealth to hinder the country. But in the final analysis, all they have done is just for money and power."
"The world is different from the imperial court. The level of martial arts determines your status in the world."
"Although the one with the highest status in the world may not necessarily have the best martial arts. After all, the top leaders, the elders of the world, the heads of famous families, etc. are all famous for their scheming and calculations."
"However, martial arts is the basis for a large sect to gain a foothold, because without martial arts, the sect cannot gain a foothold in the world."
"This is the order and rules of the world. Sometimes, this is more important than anything else, but sometimes, these are nothing."
"…………"
Seeing He Lin who still didn't understand, He Shen began to tell an allusion to his brother He Lin.
In the arena, there are rules of the arena.
The rules of the rivers and lakes prohibit assassination, poisoning, and killing.
Once someone violates these rules, all the people in the arena can attack him in groups and kill the violator.
However, rules are destined to be broken from the very beginning.
There once was such a master, who came from a well-known century-old family. He was extremely talented and had outstanding martial arts skills. He had few opponents since he was a boy.
At a young age, he had become famous all over the world, and there was an endless stream of people from all over the world who came to challenge him.
In order to ensure that they can queue up for the challenge, some people even need to make a reservation one month in advance.
It can be seen from this that this master has a great reputation and a high status in the world.
And every person in the martial arts world, after the competition, was convinced and admitted that he was the "number one master in the martial arts world", which was just short of praising him as the best master in the world.
This young master who was famous all over the world when he was young ended up beyond everyone's expectations...
he died.
When he died, he was not yet forty years old, which is when a person is in his prime.
His body lay in the wilderness for more than a month before it was discovered.
When it was discovered, its body had been eaten by tigers, wolves and other carnivorous beasts, leaving only a pile of bones.
The person who found him, when verifying his identity, also used his torn clothes, jade pendants and other items to determine the approximate identity of the deceased.
As for why he died...
Because, is he just a vase in name only?
No! no…
His martial arts is indeed very high and he is the top master in the world.
The reason why he died so miserably.
It was entirely because his parents made a mistake, a mistake that could kill his son.
They taught their sons the top martial arts passed down from their ancestors, and their son did not disappoint them either. He was better than his master, and he practiced the family martial arts to an unprecedented level.
Not only was there no one among his peers who was his opponent, but even many of his predecessors were defeated by him.
However, this couple did not tell their son that human nature is evil and be careful in everything.
In other words, they failed to teach their son a lesson about the human heart.
Therefore, when this proud and supreme master left home to explore the world, he did not survive for more than a month in the chaotic world.
He didn't know that the so-called rules of the world were just a joke in the eyes of some people. When it came to a real life-or-death situation, no one would take it seriously.
