Chapter 48 Yao Guangxiao's ambition

In this way, it is difficult for the Jinyi Guards in Beijing to get together with the power of these nobles, and even these noble people, sometimes they also engage in some Jinyi Guards, which naturally they dare not do in Nanjing, but in Beijing, it is very easy to secretly shadow them.

Even for Beijing, it is more difficult to check the Jinyi guard. But for the nobles, it is not difficult to start with Nanjing. After all, whether it is Nanjing or Beijing, the means of secrecy are limited. Especially for some of the nobles.

If Zhu Yunwen had been a little more generous, the situation would have been different.

However, Zhu Yunwen wants to emulate Zhu Yuanzhang everywhere. But he didn't have Zhu Yuanzhang's strength, and he became a four-like.

Ji Gang said: "My lord, now is not the time to talk about this, we came to Nanjing to do things. Now that we are in the Cao Guo Mansion, we are not allowed to enter and exit freely, how can we fulfill the entrustment of Lord Shoufu?"

Yao Guangxiao said, "I'm going to test you, what are you going to do to complete the task?"

Ji Gang pondered for a while and said, "I have inspected the market, and there are many things that are made in Beijing. In other words, there is a smuggling route from Beijing to Nanjing, and what I have to do is to find this smuggling route, control the smuggling merchants, rely on these smuggling merchants, establish a silver village, and find a way to get enough banknotes from Beijing, and when the money is exchanged, it will impact the market. Or just knock down the value of the banknotes."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Bringing goods from Beijing and selling them openly in Nanjing, who do you think is behind them?"

Ji Gang was not a fool, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Could it be Cao Guogong?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "There is his, but not only him. There's a lot of complexity behind this. There is one thing you have to understand, whether it is Nanjing or Beijing, if you have more money and no background, something will happen, and you won't know the truth that the husband is not guilty and guilty."

"And what big things are we going to do? If you don't find a good backer, how can you do it?"

Ji Gang said, "Your Excellency is wise."

After Ji Gang figured out this truth, he immediately had some doubts in his heart. said: "It's just that in this way, the big head here is estimated to be in the hands of Cao Guogong. We won't get anything."

Yao Guangxiao smiled indifferently and said, "Why can't you get anything? We got Cao Guogong."

Ji Gang was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, didn't you say that Cao Guogong is not our person?"

Yao Guangxiao said, "Naturally not. But the future must be. If one day in the future, Nanjing knows that someone has taken a lot of money away from them with great difficulty, and now the imperial court is very difficult, and there is almost no rice to cook, what will Nanjing do?"

Ji Gang's eyes lit up and said, "Naturally, get rid of this person and confiscate the family property."

Yao Guangxiao said, "If there is a housekeeper who steals the property of the main family, stealing more and more, and it is almost impossible to hide it, what is the best way?"

Ji Gang smiled slightly and said, "That's naturally, find a way to let the master's family die."

Ji Gang immediately saluted and said, "The adult's methods, the subordinates only understand."

Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything, he secretly said in his heart, "Ji Gang's gaze is still too shallow."

Ji Gang's gaze was limited to Cao Guogong and Li Jinglong. Yao Guangxiao's eyes are not just Li Jinglong.

Yes, Li Jinglong is important. Li Wenzhong had a great influence in the army. Li Jinglong is not just a person, but a representative of Cao Guogong's line in the army, and a member of the family of relatives outside the army.

But it's just about influence.

Li Jinglong really jumped back, and it won't have a big impact.

The strength of Cao Guogong's lineage, compared with the entire Nanjing court, is still too thin.

What Yao Guangxiao wanted to do was to use Li Jinglong's springboard to unify many noble generals who were dissatisfied with the Nanjing court. Strike at critical times.

Yao Guangxiao understands very well that even if he finds a way to get a large amount of money through a series of actions such as exchanging money, it is very difficult to transport the money back. It's not even anything

What does it mean?

He Xi has actually been increasing the money supply, and it is precisely because of the development of the productive forces in Beijing and Liaodong that this over-issuance situation is not so obvious and is still being maintained, but how much currency can be circulated in the market, on this issue, He Xi is very cautious.

So much money from Nanjing. The move to Beijing is not necessarily a good thing for Beijing.

Moreover, after He Xi's various means, Beijing is not short of money now, and Yao Guangxiao believes that money can also be solved in the future.

After all, money is just a kind of object of social resources. Between the two, there is no complete equivalence.

Since a large amount of funds have been withdrawn from Nanjing, there are problems of one kind or another. Yao Guangxiao thought of another solution, that is, the Golden Egg Offensive. used this money from the Nanjing court to buy the nobles of Nanjing. Look at the book

Li Jinglong is actually a typical representative.

In fact, as far as Nanjing Xungui is concerned, there is a big difference between Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen as emperors.

It's not that big. It is naturally difficult for the nobles of Nanjing to be the supporters of He Xi's new law. But let the nobles of Nanjing become the protectors of the old law, throw their heads and spill their blood for the old law, that is also something that should not be thought of.

They're more of a trade-off.

In fact, there are many nobles who don't want to offend Beijing too much, but He Xi has a friendship with Li Jinglong.

If these nobles are allowed to eat a huge amount of money, will they be at ease in front of Zhu Yunwen?

Moreover, things are also relative.

Yao Guangxiao wanted to make a big deal, but the political structure of the Ming Dynasty showed that there was a lot of power and a lot of wealth, and there were no developed financial means in this era. In other words, it is almost impossible for Yao Guangxiao to tell Li Jinglong to make a big profit without being discovered.

Of course, Yao Guangxiao is not a lie to Li Jinglong.

Because the two of them have different concepts of "big".

For Li Jinglong, one or two million is not counted, even if there has been an explosive growth in wealth over the years, the family base of Cao Guogong's mansion is only a few million taels, but for Yao Guangxiao, without one or two million yuan, how can he destroy Nanjing's financial order.

The volume of millions of taels is naturally hidden, but tens of millions of taels, or even more, are simply not hidden.

That's a card.

Even if it wasn't clear who did it at the time. It can't be hidden afterwards.

It's just that if it's just Cao Guogong alone, it won't be able to eat at all, but if there are a lot of nobles behind it, even the emperor has to think twice before acting, just like Xiao Jiang fighting tigers in Shanghai, and in the end he can only leave in disgrace.

However, Yao Guangxiao also knew that his actions were only to intensify the contradictions.

intensified the original contradiction between Zhu Yunwen and the nobles. This does not allow the nobles to defect to Beijing en masse. What really determines everything is the victory or defeat on the battlefield. His relative victories and defeats on the battlefield are just off-the-board moves, small actions.

This is also the greatest contribution that Yao Guangxiao can make in this war, and it is also the purpose of Yao Guangxiao's southward this time.

Yao Guangxiao also cherished his life, if he hadn't done an earth-shattering event in this big war, he wouldn't have ventured south. He knew very little he could do in this war.

Strategic issues, He Xi can see it more clearly than him, financial issues, He Xi himself plays very clearly, military issues, a new era has come, no need for Yao Guangxiao to intervene. Nor did he know much about the tactics of the current age of firearms.

And the battlefield of Nanjing is the most suitable for him.

His ultimate goal is to like to let Nanjing completely come into the hands of Beijing at a certain suitable time.

If he can do this, he Yao Guangxiao will also be famous in history. It can also be regarded as his feelings for Nanjing. After all, he has lived in Nanjing for many years, has a lot of deep feelings for Nanjing, and also knows the defense of Nanjing.

One

As soon as Nanjing was fought, almost all of it was scorched earth.

This is something that many people don't want to see. Including Yao Guangxiao.

I just want to do this, but I have a long way to go.
