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 ends.

For example, secretly developing an elite army is not just for self-preservation, but also has no other thoughts.

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

According to his estimates, if he can be a marquis, the blessings he will obtain should be almost enough for him to advance to the innate realm.

But this is only a prediction, and it is not certain, he is a person who likes to prepare for everything, if even the good fortune of the marquis is not enough, then he can only take risks and fight for the throne of the emperor who is high above.

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

However, if it really comes to such a situation, Lin Nuo will not care so much, compared to the old age and death in this world for the rest of his life, it will not be difficult to accept it!

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

"If you need it in the future, you can always tell me, some things outside the body, you know, I don't care!"

Speaking of this, Xiu'er pointed to the secret letter sent by Zhao Er, "The Yunnan-Guizhou region is full of mountains and dense forests at every turn, and there are many barbarian tribes, it is really a good training place, as long as the army is not lined up in the outside world, even if 100,000 troops enter, it can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, and it cannot attract the attention of the outside world." ”

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

"It's okay!" Lin Nuo shook his head indifferently, "There are so many wealthy businessmen in the Ming realm who are rich and unkind, just squeeze it, you can always squeeze it out!"

In Lin Nuo's view, Zhu Yuanzhang did not levy commercial taxes in the empire at the beginning, not because he looked down on those taxes, but because he hid his wealth in the hands of these powerful businessmen.

These powerful and wealthy businessmen are like leeks, there is no silver in the treasury, they can be cut a stubble, as long as they don't cut too hard, it won't be long before new leeks can grow again.

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

It's just a pity that since Zhu Yuanzhang, except for Zhu Di who has understood this, no one in the future emperors has comprehended this profound spirit.

However, today's Emperor Zhengde, stimulated by the white silver that Lin Nuo copied several times, seems to have faintly comprehended a trace of the spirit of Taizu.

For the copyist, the new emperor, it seems that he is a little addicted.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and after Lin Nuo spoke, Fang Yun, who was dressed in brocade clothes and robes, walked up quickly.

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

"Hmm!"

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

"The Chen family, the Wu family, the Feng family, and the Wan family, are these four families manipulating grain prices behind their backs?"

In the excerpt handed by Fang Yun, the history of these four families is recorded in detail, on the surface, these four families are big grain merchants, and secretly, they are maritime merchants who have made a fortune by relying on the Ming Dynasty's policy of banning the sea.

"My lord, the headquarters of these four major families are all in the boundary of Nanjing, and their financial resources are extremely amazing, like several major grain merchants in Changshu, Taicang and other places, most of them are branches of these families, with their financial resources, it is almost easy to control grain prices!"

"Behind these big families, the relationship network is extremely complex, involving many powerful people in Nanjing, and if you want to move them, it is likely to cause a backlash from many officials in Nanjing and even the imperial court in Beijing!"

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

Fang Yun stayed on the side honestly, not daring to take a breath.

These days, the commander has made the aura of the adult more and more powerful, and when he is not speaking, even his own cronies dare not speak at will, for fear that if he is not careful, he will anger the majestic governor in front of him.

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

"My lord, King Ning's methods are extremely old-fashioned, and in a short period of time, he really didn't find out that there was King Ning behind the four major families!"

Lin Nuo nodded, closed the fold in his hand, and then walked towards the door.

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

"Liu Jin's knife can kill people, and the knife in this seat is sharper!"

His family knew his own affairs, and Lin Nuo didn't think that he could suppress King Ning and his staff in terms of power and strategy.

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

He didn't know what King Ning wanted to get by taking advantage of this food price surge, and he didn't want to know what the other party planned next.

He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, first cut and then play, and now he is ordered to inspect the place, with his own halo.

With such conditions in hand, if you still honestly accompany King Ning to play chess step by step, and see the moves, it will be too brain-dead.

He is not a serious civil official, and those unspoken rules in the officialdom are not useful to him here!

I don't need to know what your plot is, what your methods are, I just know that my sword is sharper than yours!

Let you have all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, I just need to go all the way recklessly and solve all possible hostile forces, unless you King Ning dare to directly rebel, otherwise you can only eat Coptis dumbly, and you can't say anything about it!

Grain merchants, maritime merchants, magnates, whoever dares to take the lead, all of them are served in one pot!

......

Nanjing, as the land of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's Longxing, is also the former capital, where there is a perfect imperial court system.

There are yamen in the capital, almost all of them here, and officials at all levels are also readily available.

To put it mildly, even if the city of Beijing is captured by foreign enemies, as long as the emperor can escape to the boundary of Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty will not die, and 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 companion capital, most of the time, the political atmosphere in Nanjing is still extremely relaxed, there is no major event, and the so-called six Yamen Shangshu are mostly not in charge of things, and stay at home to enjoy Qingfu.

It's just that today, in the yamen of the Nanjing Military Department, which was too lazy to open the door, dozens of officials gathered at this time.

These people, including the six Shangshu of Nanjing and the important officials of the six departments, all looked a little gloomy, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Left Governor of the Five Armies, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lin Nuo, have led the troops into the city!"

The person who spoke, dressed in a big red robe, was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, Feng Ji!

He is also the contemporary head of the Feng family among the four major families who controlled the soaring grain prices in the Jiangnan border this time!
