Chapter 67 The ends of the earth and the king return together!
Nanjing, that ancient city, gradually disappeared from Lin Nuo's sight.
"Lin Nuo, I thought you would take this opportunity to go on a killing spree!"
Xiu'er was a little regretful. In the past few years, she had been with Lin Nuo. She had become more and more interested in killing corrupt officials. It seemed that even being with Lin Nuo would not affect her ideal of becoming a heroine.
"Next time, this time, the time is not right!"
Lin Nuo shook his head slightly. Now that King Ning is still there, maybe the other party will fall into a short period of keeping a low profile, but as long as King Ning is not dead, the city of Nanjing will not be in chaos.
The four major families are gone, but the soaring food prices in the Jiangnan area still need to be controlled by the powerful people in the Nanjing area. If he is involved in the Nanjing area at this time and makes people panic, I am afraid that the food prices will not fall, but will rise.
is more powerful.
That kind of situation is not what Lin Nuo wants to see!
There can be no chaos in the Jiangnan region, at least not until his army in the Yunnan-Guizhou region has been trained!
The army moved forward unhurriedly. Lin Nuo, who was riding his horse at the front, suddenly stopped. The next moment, the entire team also slowly stopped.
"Fang Yun, how much did we gain in total after confiscating the four major families this time?"
"Reporting to the Grand Governor, the four major families have a lot of property. When converted into silver, it amounts to about 6.5 million taels!" Zhou Yan replied in a low voice.
Six million and a half million taels, this is an extremely astonishing number. You must know that even if the Ming Dynasty is still a prosperous period, even so, the tax revenue of the national treasury in one year cannot reach this number.
"Divide 500,000 taels, each of you two will have 100,000 taels, and the remaining 300,000 taels will be distributed to the brothers who are going on this expedition!"
Lin Nuo is not a military talent and does not know much about running an army, but he also has his own unique skills.
First, military laws are strict and those who violate military discipline will be severely punished.
The second is that high-ranking officials are well-paid and even give out some extremely considerable amounts of money to their subordinates from time to time. For example, this time, Zhou Yan and Fang Yun can get one hundred thousand taels. Such a fortune is enough to build a building in the Jiangnan area.
A garden mansion with mountains and water.
"Thank you, sir!"
"The Governor is mighty!"
"The Governor is wise!"
Why do your subordinates work for you? Isn't it just for the sake of glory and wealth? For a group of warriors, it is useless for you to talk about your ideals and life with them. No matter how awesome you are, it is not as beneficial as real money.
"As for the remaining six million taels, Fang Yun, when we reach the border of Suzhou, escort three million taels of them to the local Jinyiwei stronghold. Someone will deal with this batch of silver taels later!"
Lin Nuo planned to use these three million taels as payment for training new troops in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. With such a fortune, he could train an elite army of thirty thousand people, which would be enough to support him for two to three years.
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Yun subconsciously accepted the order, but then he asked hesitantly: "Sir, if your majesty asks about the whereabouts of this piece of silver, how should you answer in this humble position?"
"Answer?" Lin Nuo glanced at Fang Yun with a half-smile, "We confiscated the Feng family and other rebel families, and obtained a total of three million taels of dirty silver. What else do you need to answer?"
"Understood!"
Fang Yun and Zhou Yan looked at each other, then knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and said: "Whatever your lord says, I will do what I do, and I won't bring you any trouble!"
Lin Nuo nodded calmly. If it had been two years ago, Lin Nuo would not have dared to embezzle three million taels of silver blatantly in front of his subordinates. But now, the entire Jin Yiwei has been completely tamed by him, almost
It has become his private army.
In Jinyiwei, whatever he says is what he says, and no one dares to disobey him!
Governor Lin's reputation was not gained by convincing people with his reasoning, but was established through killings one after another!
When it comes to murder, Governor Lin has never known what it means to be merciful!
"Everyone, get up. I will naturally know your loyalty!"
Lin Nuo showed a satisfied look on his face, and then took out a booklet from his sleeve robe.
"Zhou Yan, please present this memorial to the Holy One on my behalf. Next, I have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't follow you back to Beijing!"
"promise!"
Zhou Yan accepted the order, stood up and put away the papers. He didn't even dare to ask where Lin Nuo was going.
"Okay, according to my previous arrangements, you can set off!"
Taking the Molong Spear from Fang Yun's back, Lin Nuo shook the spear in his hand, and then pointed slightly in the direction behind him.
"Xiu'er, let's go!"
Xiu'er didn't know where Lin Nuo was going, but after seeing Lin Nuo galloping away, she subconsciously followed her.
I don’t know where the love started, but it goes deeper and deeper!
To the end of the world, I will be with you!
...
Watching Lin Nuo and his wife leave, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure in front of the Grand Governor was indeed a bit high.
"Brother Zhou, where are you going, sir and madam?"
"Brother Fang, I have to remind you that things that adults don't want to talk about are not things we should ask or think about! Do your job well, and don't waste your life because of curiosity!"
Zhou Yan took the memorial that Lin Nuo presented to the emperor in his arms and patted Fang Yun on the shoulder, "You should know the character of my lord. He will never treat those who are loyal and honest, but he will not treat those who are half-hearted."
, what’s going to happen, you don’t need me to remind you, right?”
"Although our Jin Yiwei are nominally the emperor's personal soldiers, you have to understand that the two of us are the earliest team trained by your lord. We were single-handedly promoted by your lord. We have already been branded as your lord's confidants. We will both be prosperous and suffer.
!”
"If your Majesty is powerful, we will be prosperous. If your Majesty falls, we will be doomed!"
"We are warriors and do not have the foresight of your Majesty. I only know that since I have followed you, I have never seen you suffer a loss. Based on this alone, the Governor is worthy of our following you wholeheartedly!"
"Brother Fang, do you think what I said is right?"
Fang Yun's face turned red when he was told that Zhou Yan was trying to hit him.
When the Grand Governor talked about transferring the three million taels of silver before, he hesitated and asked too many questions that he shouldn't have. This actually violated a taboo in official circles.
"Brother Zhou reminds me that these years have been smooth sailing, and I'm a little too complacent!"
Fang Yun took a deep breath. He knew that Zhou Yan was doing this for his own good, otherwise he could just pretend he didn't know what to do and watch himself fall into the pit step by step.
"Brother Zhou, let's go. It's time for us to set off. If we enter the capital earlier, we can also relax earlier. The pressure of escorting such a huge sum of money is not ordinary!"
