Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 480 Money and food are the last word

The aristocrats in the southern region rushed to flee to Wangjing City. They complained to Emperor Long Han about the heinous crimes of Lin Chuan and the Supervisory Office. The crimes were so numerous that a book could be written.

The crimes of Lin Chuan and his supervisory office range from plundering money to indiscriminate killing of innocent people, from supporting soldiers to bullying nobles. In the mouths of the nobles, Lin Chuan and his supervisory office, who have made countless contributions to the Far Eastern Dynasty, have become heinous. generation.

"You are all ministers of the humerus of my dynasty. I know about Lin Chuan and the Supervisory Office, and I will definitely punish them severely." Facing these furious nobles, Emperor Long Han comforted them, saying Lin Chuan should be severely punished.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making decisions for us. Long live Your Majesty." The nobles were so grateful that they withdrew.

"This Lin Chuan is dead!"

"Hmph, little boy with yellow hair, he is lawless with the support of the army. This time, he will die without a place to bury him."

……

After the nobles received the promise from Emperor Long Han, the depression in their hearts was swept away, and they couldn't wait to see how Lin Chuan and the Supervisory Office would be punished.

"What a short-sighted generation." Seeing the joyful appearance of these nobles, Zhou Rulin, the chief minister of the cabinet, sighed. The nobles are really inferior to each other.

Those meritorious nobles who followed the late emperor to conquer the world were either brave and good at fighting, or they were able to govern the country. They knew humility and self-discipline, but as time went by, the nobles were passed down from generation to generation, and instead of learning the skills of their ancestors, they became arrogant. domineering.

The nobles relied on their ancestors to fight the world with the late emperor, so they became more arrogant and domineering. They did not take the emperor seriously, and acted recklessly without knowing it. The emperor had long been dissatisfied with them.

This time, Lin Chuan's supervisory office attacked them recklessly. Instead of restraining themselves, they went to the emperor to complain. Their stupidity has already made Zhou Rulin, the chief minister of the cabinet, look down on it.

Zhou Rulin, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Yang Yanxu, Chief of Military Affairs and other nobles in the royal capital discovered early on that Emperor Longhan was different from the previous emperors, so they closely followed the emperor's footsteps, and took the initiative to distribute the annexed land to the people and their own land. Only by supplementing the national treasury with family wealth can they sit firmly in their current position.

But these nobles not only don't think so, but hope that Emperor Longhan can help them get back a lot of land and a lot of money. Isn't it a joke?

In fact, Long Han didn't take the words of these nobles to heart, he knew the importance of the southern region, where is the food-producing region, and contained the fate of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

These big nobles have always controlled the military and political power in the southern region, and controlled the entry and exit of food. This is also the reason why the nobles are arrogant and domineering. After all, every emperor must win over them, because they control the lifeline of the country. .

The emperor Longhan was young and energetic, how could he let the lifeblood of the country be controlled by these nobles, how could he compromise with the nobles, that's why Lin Chuan and the Supervisory Office took action.

Although Emperor Longhan promised the nobles to punish Lin Chuan, it was just talk. Now Lin Chuan is Long Han's most trusted person, his right-hand man. How could he destroy the Great Wall by himself at this critical moment.

"Your Majesty, the person sent by President Lin has arrived and is waiting in the side hall." The emperor Long Han had just sent the nobles away, when the chief servant came to report.

Hearing that Lin Chuan sent someone back, Long Han showed joy on his face: "Quickly pass it on."

The person Lin Chuan sent was his confidant, Li Qiye, the commander of thousands of guards, Li Qiye was young and good at fighting, loyal to Lin Chuan, calm and thoughtful, so Lin Chuan sent Li Qiye back to Wang Jing this time. .

Li Qiye first greeted Emperor Longhan, and then handed Lin Chuan's autograph letter to Emperor Longhan. Li Qiye's every move was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Long Han envious of Lin Chuan having such a talent under his command.

Lin Chuan reported all his action plans and follow-up actions in detail in the letter. Although Lin Chuan has a high position and authority now, he should not be too arrogant and domineering. Some things still need to be reported to Long Han, and it is good to pretend to ask for instructions.

After seeing Lin Chuan's request for instructions, Long Han was very happy. After all, Lin Chuan respected him, and he immediately approved all of Lin Chuan's actions: "Go back and tell the head of your family, I will approve all his actions."

"The last general thanked His Majesty for the head of my family." Li Qiye gave a military salute to Emperor Long Han.

Seeing that Li Qiye acted like a soldier, the emperor wanted to recruit Li Qiye to his side even more, but in the end he held back his thoughts.

After all, now Li Qiye is Lin Chuan's confidant, if he poachs Lin Chuan's corner, Lin Chuan will definitely agree because of his status, but he will definitely be disappointed.

Since a talent like Li Qiye is only a guard commander by his side, it is better to stay with Lin Chuan and do more things.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of gifts that my lord escorted to Wang Jing this time." After saluting, Li Qiye took out another list from his pocket and handed it to the head servant, and presented it to Emperor Long Han.

"Oh? You even gave me a gift, bring it to me to have a look." Long Han was very happy.

But when Long Han saw the long string of numbers on the list, he was stunned, and then his breathing became short of breath.

Lin Chuan ordered Li Qiye to escort a lot of supplies to Wangjing, most of which were the treasures of nobles from the southern region.

"Ninety-three million silver coins."

"600 million gold coins, 11 emeralds..."

"More than three hundred carts of jewellery, five million catties of military rations—"

……

Seeing the long list in his hand, even the emperor Long Han, who had seen the world, couldn't help shaking his hands slightly, how much money and military supplies it cost.

Thinking that the empty national treasury would be filled immediately, and the arrears of military pay could be distributed, Emperor Long Han couldn't help laughing wildly. At this moment, he was like a beggar who suddenly became a millionaire, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.

"Is there really so much money and rations?" Emperor Long Han couldn't believe his eyes like he was dreaming.

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty. Due to the limited number of horses and chariots, this is only part of the escort. The rest are stored in Jiangdu Province and will be sent to Wangjing one after another." Li Qiye replied with a slight smile.

Hearing that this is only a part of it, and there will be more in the future, Emperor Long Han couldn't help laughing wildly: "Okay, Lin Chuan has made a great contribution! I want to make him a prince!"

Now the national treasury is empty, the army has no food, and the officials have no salary. The Minister of Finance cries to him all day long. Emperor Longhan was happy.

Thinking of the poverty of the country, but the richness of the nobles, and thinking of the nobles crying in front of him just now, Emperor Long Han suddenly felt sick, which further strengthened his idea of ​​eradicating the nobles.

The nobles are the cancer attached to the Far East dynasty. They sucked up the blood of the dynasty and strengthened themselves. They are loyal to the family above the country, and they do not hesitate to damage the country's interests for personal gain. This is something Long Han cannot tolerate.

Lin Chuan sent the seized money and food to Wang Jing, and immediately let Emperor Longhan taste the sweetness of killing the nobles. Instead of punishing Lin Chuan, he rewarded Lin Chuan, which immediately stunned the nobles who let the emperor make decisions for them.
