The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Looking up, he met his father Lin Ruhai's smiling eyes. Seemingly understanding the meaning behind it, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head for Baoyu.

How could she not sense her father's subtle dissatisfaction with Jia Baoyu?

However, Jia Baoyu had always been this way, and Lin Daiyu couldn't force him to change anything.

She thought it was great. She was happy every day. Baoyu was happy, her sisters were happy, and her grandmother was happy too. There was nothing wrong with it.

After all, she was still a young girl. Whether in the Rong Mansion or at home, she was pampered and did not yet fully understand the principle of 'distinction between men and women'.

Lin Ruhai didn't say much, nor did he advise Lin Daiyu to reduce her contact with Jia Baoyu.

The old lady often invites Lin Daiyu to play at the Rong Mansion; it wouldn't be good if she discovered something.

If Jia Baoyu is still unable to distinguish between inside and outside the home when he gets older, it will not be too late for Lin Ruhai to intervene.

Meanwhile, Jia Huan, who was learning medicine from his teacher at the small martial arts school, was unaware that he was advising Master Zheng and was almost correctly guessed by Lin Ruhai.

At this time, he devoted all his energy to studying medicine.

With a solid foundation in memory, the subsequent learning process becomes relatively easy and simple.

What needs to be done is to thoroughly understand the words in the medical books, as well as the medical experience of the two well-known doctors, and digest and absorb them all, making them one's own.

His learning method was extremely efficient, which greatly surprised the two renowned doctors.

The more they taught him, the more they realized how well Jia Huan had prepared, which greatly surprised them and sparked their interest in teaching him properly.

For no other reason than that Jia Huan's learning speed and efficiency were simply astonishing.

Based on past experience, Jia Huan would have to start as an apprentice and gradually become familiar with the skills. It would have taken at least ten years of hard work before anyone would dare to let him practice medicine.

However, when it came to Jia Huan, both renowned doctors agreed that he only needed three years of diligent study to begin gaining practical experience by sitting in their clinics.

If all goes well, in three to five years Jia Huan will be able to become a resident doctor and treat some common and simple illnesses.

Such a learning pace amazed even two well-known and experienced doctors.

At that time, Jia Huan was only about fifteen years old!

It's unbelievable to think about it; who knows, they might train a generation of famous doctors!

As for the legendary healer, neither of the two renowned doctors would even dare to dream of it. They were top-tier physicians who have left their mark and deeds throughout history!

It can only be said that these two well-known doctors, who have experienced ups and downs, have not witnessed the madness of modern cramming education, nor the prowess of top students and geniuses, and are also not very familiar with the resources that Jia Huan has in his hands.

In order not to be too shocking, he did not intend to continue using the genius state that he had achieved by consuming luck points.

However, the experience he gained from learning and understanding medical skills was enough for him to complete the most basic and advanced medical studies in a genius-like manner.

He set a timeframe for himself of five to seven years!

In modern terms, this would be equivalent to a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree!

It was unavoidable!

Jia Huan discovered that excellent medical skills were essential to improve the progress of breathing exercises.

He knew that this was the drawback of his insufficient knowledge accumulation, but fortunately he was still young and could take it slowly.

After two years of turmoil, the Rong family's situation has greatly improved.

At least, there is no obvious downward trend, and it may even rise against the trend as time goes by.

To be honest, top noble families like the Ning and Rong families, as long as they don't cause any problems themselves, can hold out for a long time even if the current emperor insists on targeting them.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, both the Ning and Rong families brought about their own downfall, which led to the rapid squandering of their family's wealth and their eventual complete collapse.

At least for now, this situation won't happen again!

Without going into too much detail, Master Zheng said that if Jia Lian could advance further, the power structure within the Rong Mansion would undergo astonishing changes, and at least the eldest branch of the family would have a certain degree of influence.

To be honest, it seems like the first wife is much more reliable than the second wife.

At least, aside from making his presence felt within the mansion, Master She rarely caused trouble outside.

In short, Jia Huan does not intend to continue to stand out in the limelight for the next few years, unless Master Zheng encounters an intractable problem. Otherwise, he does not want to continue to take the lead.

It's not too late to show your talents when you've reached a certain level of ability and knowledge.

Ideally, he should be able to leave the Rong Mansion earlier, as staying there is too restrictive for him.

In addition, giving him ample time to cultivate a few talents in the clan schools would also be a very good idea, diverting the attention of the Ning and Rong prefectures.

In any case, Jia Huan has no shortage of money or resources for self-improvement; what he lacks is time!

However, to his surprise, the Second Master Zheng had no intention of letting him have a peaceful life.

The Second Master Zheng himself easily declined the treacherous position of the debt collection ambassador.

The current emperor couldn't go too far either. The Second Master Zheng helped the court recover more than five million taels of silver owed to the national treasury in just six months. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he made great contributions.

Unfortunately, the position of Commissioner of the Court of Judicial Review was quite secure at that time; otherwise, it was entirely possible that the current emperor would directly appoint the Second Master of the Court of Judicial Review as the new Commissioner, so that the court officials could see that he was an emperor who rewarded merit.

However, it can be made clear now that the Second Master Zheng's merits will be temporarily recorded and rewarded later when the opportunity arises.

The same applies to Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun; they actually benefited from it!

Originally, because of the matter concerning Prince Zhongshun, the other imperial relatives who had borrowed a lot of money from the national treasury did not dare to cause trouble and were prepared to repay part of their debts.

As for the noble families who also borrowed a lot of money, their plans were similar to those of the imperial relatives.

The only families that really need public relations efforts are those few incredibly shameless ones.

Fortunately, Jia Huan can provide relevant information, making impeachment a very easy and simple matter.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun easily gained some credit.

Of course, their presence did help the Second Master Zheng escape the impeachment storm in the court, so it wasn't a free lunch.

After being removed from the unpopular position of "Commissioner for Debt Collection," Master Zheng felt completely relieved.

From then on, he resumed his leisurely life. He would go to the yamen in the morning to clock in and then leave early in the afternoon to go home and chat with his guests, living a very comfortable life.

Jia Huan felt that this was good; life was simple, and no one would deliberately make things difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of leisure, Master Zheng Er suddenly dealt Jia Huan a heavy blow: he put him in charge of managing the eight major estates outside the city!

"Master, won't this cause dissatisfaction within the household?"

Jia Huan didn't care; managing the eight large estates outside the city wasn't a difficult task.

However, he didn't want to put himself in a passive position because of this.

It's likely that the old lady and the second wife, Madam Wang, have long been eyeing the management rights of the eight major estates.

They can't directly intervene, but they can assign their subordinates to manage things. That's what you call a roundabout way to achieve your goal.

"You don't need to worry about this!"

The Second Master Zheng, unusually confident, chuckled and said, "I've assigned you a task: to hand over 80,000 taels of silver to the manor every year, not including the rice, grain, and vegetables supplied to the manor. What do you think?"

"If the old lady and your wife are confident, there will be no problem at all in handing over the management of the eight estates to the people they have infiltrated!"

Cow!

Jia Huan narrowed his eyes, looked at the somewhat smug Master Zheng, and chuckled, "Then, Master, go and discuss it with the Old Madam and Madam first!"

That's a really good idea, but I doubt the old lady and Mrs. Wang will agree.

Just kidding. As far as he knew, the highest annual income paid by the eight major estates was no more than 50,000 taels.

Of course, if we tap into our maximum potential, it's not impossible to achieve our goal.

However, the manager would certainly not be happy, the tenants might not be able to afford it, and neither the old lady nor Madam Wang had such effective management skills.

Jia Huan didn't think it was a big problem, but he certainly wouldn't make any absolute statements.

I wonder which brilliant person came up with this idea for Master Zheng. It's as if it was tailor-made for Jia Huan. What a talented person!

If he could successfully take over the management and operation of the eight major estates, it would naturally be a great thing for him.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that Jia Huan could run freely in the vast farmland must have greatly helped his physical training.

In addition, some training exercises that are difficult to do in small martial arts gyms can also be done at Tianzhuang.

For example, there are no suitable places to swim in Beijing.

This time, the Second Master Zheng acted swiftly, going directly to Rongqing Hall to discuss the operation and management of the estate outside the city with the Old Madam and Madam Wang, and finally made his requests.

"Eighty thousand taels a year, why don't you just rob someone?"

The old lady said disapprovingly, "Second son, if you don't want your wife and mother involved, just say so. What's the point of making such an excessive request?"

Madam Wang also said unhappily, "Yes, sir, who could agree to such conditions?"

This time, it was the Second Master Zheng's turn to be dissatisfied. With a dark face, he said sullenly, "If we hand over the management and operation of the eight major estates to the Ning family, they will definitely be able to achieve their goals!"

愕！

The old lady and Madam Wang looked at each other for a moment, speechless.

How could they forget about the Ning family next door? They've made a fortune selling grain in the last six months.

If the eight estates outside the city were handed over to the Ning family for management and operation, they would indeed be able to achieve the annual targets set by the Second Master Zheng, and there is no doubt about that.
