The Nan family is what Zhao Xin cares about most right now.

Military power is a very important right. Of course, this word is a bit vague, so it is better to say it directly, the army.

The Nan family now has nearly 200,000 troops under their command, and all of these troops are supported by the imperial court.

But they would only obey orders and would never obey themselves. They were paid and fed by the imperial court. Of course, the imperial court did not actually provide them with all the food. It was the imperial court and the Nan family that were feeding this army.

However, Zhao Xin had never seen such a situation before, where an empire had an army of 200,000 that the emperor could not control.

Cui Cen and Wang Jin's influence was limited to the central government, and they did not interfere deeply in local affairs.

Therefore, local ministers have become local tyrants, and those provincial governors have all disobeyed the central government to varying degrees.

Zhuge Liang is now rectifying this matter, and his efficiency is very good. Now the local administration of the entire Qin Dynasty has recovered 70% to 80%. It is not just that document, but he has been rectifying this matter.

In short, just leave all political matters to Zhuge Liang and worry about the next matter, the Nan family.

It was unprecedented for one family to control an army of nearly 200,000.

In the thousands of years of history of China before he traveled through time, such a subtle and extreme situation had never occurred.

There was an army of 200,000 in the country that was not under the control of the emperor. Zhao Xin was determined to put the Nan family under control.

Even if all the members of the Nan family were arranged to serve in the military in various places and the central government, it would be fine, but it was absolutely impossible to control an army of 200,000.

Zhao Xin felt that he couldn't sleep well because he couldn't handle the affairs of the 200,000 troops well.

Liu Muzhi, Zhao Xin, and Yu Qian, along with ten commanders of the imperial guards, came to the Nan family.

These ten people were selected by Zhao Xin himself. He had been doing this for the past ten days.

Because Wang Xuance, Li Cunxiao and others were transferred away, as well as Yu Huatian.

Originally, these three people were his bodyguards. Zhuge Liang wanted to use them, so he selected ten commanders from the Imperial Guards and went to visit the Nan family this time.

To be honest, the Nan family is still a little dangerous. These ten people may not be able to protect me. Of course, I can only bring ten people with me.

Ten people are actually a bit too many. The armed forces of the Nan family are still considerable. The people in the Nan family mansion control an army of 200,000, and that is their headquarters.

Of course it is very dangerous, there must be very powerful people guarding the mansion.

It is indeed dangerous to bring these ten people in by myself, but this problem must be dealt with eventually.

Zhao Xin brought Yu Qian, Liu Muzhi, and ten commanders to the Southern Palace.

Nan Cang settled the group of people. The ten commanders sat in the back, Liu Muzhi and Yu Qian sat on both sides, and Zhao Xin and Nan Cang sat opposite each other drinking tea.

However, Nan Cang was kneeling and drinking, while he was sitting completely on the mat.

"General Nan." Zhao Xin looked at Nan Cang with a smile.

"His Majesty."

But after saying this to General Nan, Zhao Xin didn't know what to say anymore.

After all, both sides now understand the root cause of the conflict. It is definitely impossible to ask the Nan family to directly disband the 200,000 troops or hand over the military power to themselves.

But this is the problem between the two sides now, and Nan Cang also understands the meaning of his visit this time.

It's just the same as last time, he wants to find out the details of the Nan family and himself.

Cui Cen has fallen, Wang Jin has fallen, and now of course only the Nan family and myself are left.

Once the problem of the 200,000 troops in his and the Nan family's hands was solved, Zhao Xin became a complete emperor, so now both sides understood where the problem lay.

Zhao Xin felt he had nothing to say. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Captain Nan, how many years have you been the Grand Commandant?"

Nan Cang replied, "Your Majesty, I have been the Grand Marshal for ten years."

"Ten years, you should be quite familiar with the military affairs of the world, General."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"After all, I have devoted a lot of energy to this over the past ten years."

"Will it be very busy to be the head of the Nan family and the Grand Marshal at the same time?"

"Very busy." Nan Cang replied.

"At my age, I sometimes wonder if my body can handle it anymore."

Zhao Xin nodded. "Understood."

"The Nan family... is indeed thriving now." Zhao Xin looked at the Nan family's reception room.

Zhao Xin then asked, "What did the Nan family do before they entered the imperial court?"

"Your Majesty, my family is all engaged in business."

"Doing business?" Zhao Xin was a little surprised.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have always been engaged in business."

Zhao Xin said, "Since we're doing business, that's fine. Why get involved in politics? It's more dangerous than business."

"People always have to pursue it."

"The business world can no longer satisfy this family."

Zhao Xin said, "I understand."

"However, it seems that your ambition has now been achieved."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Now the Nan family is indeed at its most prosperous time since its founding."

"In addition to the military, is the Nan family still engaged in business?"

"We are still working on it, and now it is involved in both business and military affairs."

Zhao Xin nodded. The Nan family was indeed similar to what he thought. In fact, most large aristocratic families would not do things like the Nan family.

They are more inclined to cultivate talents and then send them to the court, and the aristocratic families themselves are also involved in many businesses. In fact, the children of aristocratic families are not ordinary people even if they do not enter the court or enter official careers.

As long as you can win the family competition, you will have endless wealth.

But the Nan family is not like this. Their scale is not enough to become an aristocratic family. If they do not completely integrate the entire family into politics like they do now, it will be difficult for them to become an aristocratic family.

Aristocratic families rely on accumulation from generation to generation and are the result of the struggles of many generations. The Nan family hopes to become a similar family, which is why they are like this now.

Of course, the Nan family has actually completed half of its goal now, and none of the aristocratic families are as powerful as the Nan family is now.

The two sons and two sons-in-law of the Nan family are generals of the four towns, guarding the four borders of the Qin Dynasty.

More than half of the Nan family members served in the military at the court.

Moreover, the Nan family itself is also very wealthy, and Nan Cang has served as the Grand Marshal for ten years. However, since it involves politics, it is definitely not as safe as the business world.

I even have the idea of ​​cleaning out the Nan family, and in the end, this might really happen.

It is very difficult to establish a large family. It requires a lot of money and political capital. That is, many members of the family become high-ranking officials and then continue to run the family.

The Nan family wanted to skip this process and become a prominent family in just one generation, and now they have achieved some of the goal.
