The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 99 I want to go all the way!

Lin Nuo has never been a good person.

Even he often feels that he is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

For example, the secret development of an elite army is not just for self-protection, there may be no other thoughts.

In this world, his purpose is very clear, that is to improve fortune and innate ability.

According to his estimation, if he can become a marquis, the blessings he will get should almost be enough for him to be promoted to the innate realm.

But this is just a prediction, not certain. He is a person who likes to be prepared for everything. If even the Marquis' fortune is not enough, then he has no choice but to take risks and fight for the high throne of the emperor.

It's just that in this way, I feel sorry for my emperor's apprentice.

But if that kind of situation really happened, Lin Nuo wouldn't care so much. Compared to dying in this world and being unable to break through, rebellion and so on, it's not hard to accept it!

Hearing that Lin Nuo had no intention of rebelling for the time being, Xiu'er put the map in her hand into her sleeve.

"If you need it in the future, you can tell me at any time, some extraneous things, you know, I don't care!"

Speaking of this, Xiu'er pointed to the secret letter sent by Zhao Er, "The Yunnan-Guizhou area is full of mountains and dense forests, and there are many barbarians. It is really a good place for military training. The outside world is lined up, even if a hundred thousand troops enter, it can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, and it will not attract the attention of the outside world."

"It's just that you're going to have a headache again for the next military expenditure!"

"It doesn't matter!" Lin Nuo shook his head indifferently, "There are a lot of rich and unkind businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, if you squeeze casually, you will always be able to squeeze out!"

In Lin Nuo's view, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't collect commercial taxes in the empire at the beginning, not because he didn't look down on those taxes, but because he hid his wealth in the hands of these powerful and wealthy merchants.

These rich and powerful businessmen are like leeks. There is no money in the treasury, so they can be harvested. As long as they don't cut too hard, new leeks can grow again in a short time.

As long as the emperor is ruthless enough, how can the treasury be empty?

It's just a pity that after Zhu Yuanzhang, except for Zhu Di who understood this point, none of the future emperors understood this profound spirit.

On the contrary, today's Emperor Zhengde, stimulated by Lin Nuo's several times of ransacking the house, seems to have faintly grasped a trace of Taizu's spirit.

The new emperor seems to be a bit addicted to copying property.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and after Lin Nuo uttered his voice, Fang Yun, dressed in the robes of a guard in brocade, walked up quickly.

"My lord, the big grain merchants in Changshu and Taicang have already sorted out the general situation!"

"Ok!"

Lin Nuo took the notebook handed over by Fang Yun, and then read it carefully.

"The Chen family, the Wu family, the Feng family, and the Wan family, are these four major families manipulating food prices?"

In the brochure Fang Yun handed over, the family history of these four big families is recorded in detail. On the surface, these four big families are big grain merchants, but secretly, they are maritime merchants who made their fortunes by relying on the Ming Dynasty's sea ban policy.

"My lord, the headquarters of these four major families are all in Nanjing, and their financial resources are extremely astonishing. Most of the major grain merchants in Changshu, Taicang and other places are branches of these families. With their financial resources, they want to control the price of food. , is almost as easy as pie!"

"Behind these big families, the relationship network is extremely complicated, involving many dignitaries in the Nanjing area. If you want to move them, it is likely to cause a reaction from many officials in Nanjing and even the capital!"

Lin Nuo didn't speak, and quietly read the booklet, then closed his eyes and tapped on the table lightly.

Fang Yun stayed aside obediently, not daring to take a breath.

These days, the commander has made Sir's aura stronger and stronger. When he is not speaking, even he, a confidant, dare not speak casually, for fear that if he is not careful, he will offend the increasingly majestic governor in front of him.

"In the information you have investigated, it seems that there is no trace of King Ning's existence?" Lin Nuo suddenly spoke after pondering for a moment.

"My lord, King Ning is very sophisticated. In a short period of time, I really didn't find out that there is King Ning behind these four families!"

Lin Nuo nodded, closed the folder in his hand, and then walked out the door.

"Let's go, go to Nanjing, and meet those so-called bosses for a while!"

"Liu Jin's sword can kill people, but this seat's sword is even sharper!"

Since his family knew his own affairs, Lin Nuo didn't think he could suppress King Ning and his staff in terms of tactics.

What he is best at is not playing chess, but flipping the chessboard!

He didn't know what King Ning wanted to gain by taking advantage of the soaring food price incident, and he didn't want to know what the other party's plans were going to be.

As the commander of Jinyiwei, he has the power to supervise all officials, kill first and then play, and now he is ordered to inspect places, with an aura of imperial envoy.

With such conditions in hand, it would be too stupid to honestly accompany Ning Wang to play chess step by step, seeing each move.

He is not a serious civil servant, those unspoken rules in the officialdom are useless to him, Lin Nuo!
I don't need to know what kind of conspiracy you have and what means you have. I only know that my knife is sharper than yours!
Let you have all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, I just need to go all the way and eliminate all possible hostile forces. Unless you, King Ning, dare to rebel directly, you will only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.
Grain merchants, maritime merchants, dignitaries, whoever dares to take the lead, are all in one pot!
Nanjing, as the land of Longxing and the former capital of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, has a complete court system here.

There are almost all the yamen in the capital, and there are all kinds of officials at all levels.

To put it bluntly, even if the city of Beijing is captured by foreign enemies, as long as the emperor can escape to the border of Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty will not perish. The officials of various ministries in Nanjing can immediately form a new court to govern the huge imperial territory.

Because it is far away from Beijing, and it is only a symbolic accompanying capital, most of the time, the political atmosphere in Nanjing City is still extremely relaxed, and there are no major issues.

But today, dozens of officials gathered in the yamen of the Nanjing Ministry of War, which was too lazy to open the gate.

These people, including the six ministers of Nanjing and the important officials among the six, all had gloomy faces, as if something big was about to happen.

"Everyone, the left commander of the Fifth Army, the commander of Jinyiwei, Lin Nuo, has led the troops into the city!"

The person who opened the mouth, dressed in a bright red robe, was the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, Feng Ji!
He is also the current head of the Feng family among the four major families that manipulated the skyrocketing food prices in the Jiangnan region this time!
