The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 75
Holding Liu Jin with one hand, Lin Nuo just looked at him coldly.

It wasn't until drops of cold sweat broke out on the other party's forehead that he casually threw him on the ground.

This Liu Jin can't die now, Lin Nuo still needs the other party to be the leader, to fight against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and to arouse hatred.

"Tell me, why come to my Jinyiwei yamen?"

Liu Jin rolled on the ground twice in a row, then shivered and stood up quickly, then licked her face with a wrinkled smile.

"Governor, Your Majesty misses you and wants to see you!"

A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses. Although Liu Jin doesn't understand the truth, he can still distinguish things that are related to his own wealth and life.

Liu Jin is very smart, and he is very good at observing words and deliberations to figure out what he wants, but after all, he is just a young eunuch. Since he has been the head of the Rites for more than a month, he has gone smoothly without any setbacks, and he is a bit too proud.

Therefore, even though he knew that the emperor valued Lin Nuo very much, he never took it to heart. Now that he kicked the iron plate, the degree of importance he attaches to Lin Nuo has really been raised to the highest level.

Although Liu Jin was very upset in his heart, his expression did not show it at all, and the smile on his face became more and more humble, "General Governor, please, our family will open the way for you!"

Lin Nuo took a deep look at Liu Jin, he was able to bend and stretch, but he was also a character.

If it were someone else, Lin Nuo would definitely not keep such an enemy behind, and would definitely kill him on the spot.

But Liu Jin can't do this. Zhengde can tolerate himself suppressing Liu Jin, but he will never allow himself to directly kill him.

Liu Jin is Zhengde's knife on the bright side, if it is broken before it is effective, no matter how good the master-student relationship between Lin Nuo and Zhengde is, a rift will arise because of this.

Before Fuyuan earns enough, Lin Nuo still needs to continue to rely on the support of that Emperor Zhengde!

Galloping all the way, with Liu Jin leading the way, Lin Nuo soon arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Zhengde was.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is the place where the emperor rests, and is generally not used to receive courtiers.

However, Zhengde felt that Lin himself and Master Lin had a close relationship, and did not regard each other as an outsider at all. What's more, when his father was there, he often met Lin Nuo in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so Zhengde naturally set the meeting place at Yangxin In the heart palace.

After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liu Jin's entire aura suddenly changed again, as if she had a backbone, and she no longer needed to be afraid of Lin Nuo.

Subconsciously, Liu Jin was about to put on an appearance of being wronged, and was about to sue Lin Nuo in front of the emperor.

However, before his aggrieved expression appeared, Zhu Houzhao from the hall had hurried out, came to Lin Nuo, and eagerly pulled his arm.

"Master Lin, since I ascended the throne, I haven't seen you for a few days. I haven't heard Master Lin's teaching for a day. My heart is always empty, and I feel very hopeless!"

Seeing this, Liu Jin's aggrieved expression immediately subsided, and turned into a humble smile.

He's not stupid. Judging by His Majesty's attitude towards Lin Nuo, if he dared to sue, Lin Nuo probably wouldn't need to explain anything, and he must be the one who will be punished in the end.

Liu Jin is very clear about the character of this little emperor. When he trusts and gets close to someone, you can't smear that person in person, otherwise you will be the one who will be punished.

For those who are close to the emperor, one can only give eye drops to them little by little over time, until the emperor's goodwill is gone, and that is when the ultimate move can really be used!
Lin Nuo pretended to want to salute, but Zhu Houzhao held his arm and refused to allow him to salute. After a slight stalemate, they walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation while laughing and talking.

After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao waved to Liu Jin and other eunuchs, motioning for everyone to retreat.

After everyone left, Zhu Houzhao whispered: "Master Lin, I want to move out of the Forbidden City and live in another place!"

"Why does Your Majesty have such an idea?" Lin Nuo's heart moved. It seems that the previous few grand court meetings and the collective gathering of civil officials had already made the little emperor feel a sense of crisis.

"Before staying in the Forbidden City, I just felt a little uncomfortable, but since I became the throne, this uncomfortable feeling has become more and more intense. A sense of oppression lies across the chest, making people always sleep restlessly!"

"Also, even though I am the emperor, the only army that I can use directly is the four guards in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Not to mention the small number of sergeants, there are even old, weak, sick and disabled people who are eating and waiting to die. This kind of army If it is pulled out, there will be no combat power at all!"

Lin Nuo nodded. After seeing the power of civil servants, Zhu Houzhao had a feeling that there was always someone who wanted to harm me.

There are a lot of troops in the capital, but there are almost no battleable troops that can be directly controlled by the emperor. It was after realizing this situation that Zhu Houzhao wanted to move out of the Forbidden City and find another place to live.

After all, when staying in the capital, there is no army under his complete control. If something unexpected happens and the gates of the cities are closed, he, the emperor, will not even have a chance to escape!

"Master Lin, if I forcibly move out of the Forbidden City and build a residence in another place, will the officials object?"

"Of course there are objections!" Lin Nuo nodded, looked at the eager young emperor, and continued with a serious expression: "Let's not talk about other things, just build a new palace suitable for the emperor's residence, so the palace will be built for the emperor. Has Your Majesty ever calculated the amount of silver that needs to be spent?"

"This. Two years ago, Master Lin obtained 50 taels of silver from Shanyin County, which has been sealed up by the emperor and stored in the internal treasury. I probably calculated that these silver taels are barely enough!"

Lin Nuo shook his head, "It's not enough. After normal construction, the cost will definitely exceed the budget. Your Majesty must at least prepare another 50 taels of silver on top of this budget, otherwise the project will not be completed at all! "

"What's more, if the internal treasury is emptied, how will your majesty live in the future? You can't get money from the treasury, right?"

"Alas!" Zhu Houzhao stomped his feet in frustration, his face full of helplessness, "Mr. Lin, I used to think that being an emperor must be very enjoyable, but now it seems that it is not interesting at all, and now I have to worry about money. What a shame! It's not as happy as when I was a prince!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Since the silver is not enough, we should find a way to get money from other places. Our Ming Dynasty is still very rich. If nothing else, it's just a place in the south of the Yangtze River. If we can collect business taxes, What His Majesty should worry about in the future is how to spend the money!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, quite moved, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head, "Master Lin, there are often courtiers who say that people's lives in the Jiangnan area are poor and life is very difficult. If I add another tax burden to them, Don’t you want to force people to death?”

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed, "Master Lin, you are in charge of Jinyiwei, you must have inquired about many corrupt officials, right? How about we copy a few?"
