The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 52 There is no middleman to make the difference!

Eating, sleeping, practicing kung fu, and occasionally dealing with government affairs, Lin Nuo said that in the days of Shanyin County, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, which was simply too cool.

On this day, as usual, Lin Nuo was carrying a black spear on his back. After greeting Xiu'er, he prepared to leave the city and enter the mountains to practice.

It's just that when he walked to the gate of the county government office, he happened to see that the two Zhao brothers seemed to be arguing, and neither of them would give in, their faces were red from the quarrel.

"Why, Jingli's order came down?"

It has been almost a month since I killed Li Mo, Qi San and others, and I reported the secret report to Emperor Hongzhi. Counting the days, there should be a decree from Beijing.

"I've seen my lord, but there is no decree from Beijing!" Zhao Da and his two saw the magistrate approaching, and quickly got up to salute.

"Then why are you arguing?"

"This, it's our brother's private matter. Two days ago, a matchmaker told my eldest brother about a marriage. I think it's okay!" Zhao Er replied in a low voice.

"Oh? Not bad, the two of you brothers are not young anymore, it's time to start a family!"

Brother Zhao is a talented person, and Lin Nuo plans to train them well in the future. They are not young anymore, and they really should have a family.

"I want my elder brother to start a family quickly, but my elder brother disagrees!"

"Why, didn't you like her girl?" Lin Nuo asked with a smile.

"Not really!" Zhao Da shook his head in embarrassment, "That girl is the daughter of a small businessman, and she looks decent. I thought it was pretty good at first, and I wanted to agree to this marriage!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Da smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just that the girl's family asked for 100 taels of dowry, and we two brothers have saved so much money over the years. If it is all spent on this, Erlang Marriage, don't you have no money?"

Lin Nuo frowned, 100 taels of silver was nothing in a powerful family, but for ordinary people, it was a huge sum of money, enough for a family of four to live comfortably for several years.

The woman's family asked for 100 taels, which is indeed a bit of a big appetite.

"The woman's family wants a lot, and maybe there will be a lot of dowry at that time, that is, the matter of swapping left hands for right hands. It seems that you two are very anxious." Lin Nuo comforted.

"My lord doesn't know something!" Zhao Da shook his head, "That woman has a younger brother who is also old enough to talk about marriage, and she fell in love with the daughter of Sun Xiucai in our county."

Lin Nuo immediately laughed, "Don't tell me that the merchant's daughter insisted on asking for a bride price of 100 taels just to use this money to give his brother to propose marriage at Sun Xiucai's house?"

"Your Excellency is wise!" Zhao Dalian nodded repeatedly, "That Sun Xiucai has a weird temper, and if he wants to marry her daughter, in addition to making him look pleasing to the eye, he must also come up with a dowry gift of 100 taels, so my second brother and I are worried. 100 taels is not a small amount, my second brother wants me to marry the merchant's daughter first, but I don't want to ruin my family just because of the marriage!"

"I see!"

Lin Nuo finally figured out the ins and outs. To put it simply, Zhao Da fell in love with a helper demon!

"Let me ask you, what does the daughter of Sun Xiucai's family look like? How does it compare to the merchant's daughter?"

"Although the daughter of the Sun family is a Miao girl, her beauty is naturally much better than that of the merchant's daughter!" Zhao Da replied honestly.

"That's it!" Lin Nuo shrugged, "Since it costs 100 taels of silver, why bother to marry a Fudimo instead of a beautiful woman from the scholarly family?"

"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhao Da didn't understand what the magistrate called Fudimo, but he also understood what his lord meant, that he was not optimistic about the daughter of the merchant.

"The meaning is obvious, we don't want the merchant's daughter, and marry that girl from the Sun family directly! You don't have to worry about the dowry, I will handle it for you!"

Lin Nuo waved his hand grandly, and directly made a decision for Zhao Da.

In my previous life, I saw all kinds of middlemen reselling second-hand cars and second-hand houses. I didn’t expect that there are still middlemen in this life who rely on marriage to make money. It’s really a wonder in the world.

Refuse to force the price difference in the middle, marry the best one if you want to marry!

With the magistrate's promise, Zhao Da immediately went to look for a matchmaker with great interest, and was going to propose marriage to that Sun Xiucai's house.

Even Zhao Er was very excited. With the support of 100 taels of silver from the county magistrate, he could also consider getting married within this year.

Lin Nuo was also in a good mood after solving the problem of Brother Zhao. Humming a ditty and holding a spear, he prepared his training plan for the new day.

But when he had just stepped out of the county government office, a dozen or so fast horses suddenly appeared on the broad street. On the horses, each of them wore pointed hats, brown clothes, jade belts around their waists, and white leather on their feet. The Dongchang Fanzi of the boots, guarding a young eunuch, stopped in front of the county government amidst the sound of horseshoes.

"Master Lin, stay here!"

The young eunuch had good eyesight, so he saw Lin Nuo who was about to go out at a glance, and quickly called out to stop him.

Lin Nuo looked around and saw that the little eunuch was an acquaintance. When he was awarded Tanhua and changed his court clothes in the side hall of the palace, this little Eunuch Li was waiting by the side.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Li, please come in!"

Seeing the person coming, Lin Nuo understood that Emperor Hongzhi's decree had come down, and this time the eunuch in the palace delivered the decree, not a civil servant. Obviously, what Hongzhi gave him was a secret decree.

Little Eunuch Li didn't exchange greetings either, he followed Lin Nuo quickly into the county government office, and found a side hall to sit down.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, our family is really exhausted on this journey!"

Little Eunuch Li took a sip of the tea brought by Zhao Er, and calmly took out a piece of bright yellow paper from his pocket.

"Lord Lin, this is a secret decree given to you by the Holy Majesty. It is not convenient for our family to read it. You should read it yourself!"

Lin Nuo smiled. The secret decree is different from the imperial decree. It doesn't need to be proclaimed, which saves him a lot of trouble.

After receiving the secret decree, Lin Nuo quickly read the contents above, and put it in his sleeve robe.

The content of the secret decree is very simple. First, it praised Lin Nuo for quickly stabilizing the situation in Shanyin County during this period of time, laying the foundation for the official system.

The second is the money obtained from the house raids. Hongzhi asked him to keep 20 taels as the operating funds of Jinyiwei.

Obviously, Hongzhi did not intend to send this batch of silver to the national treasury, but to deposit it in the inner treasury of the palace.Otherwise, it would be the army, not the Dongchang Fanzi, who came to escort the silver taels.

These days, the emperor also lacks money!
"Eunuch Li, what else can Your Majesty ask you to bring?"

Stuffing a money bag casually into the sleeve of little Eunuch Li, Lin Nuo asked with a smile.
