Chapter 5 Heavyweight Flyer

Nie Yao has his own eyes and his subordinates have channels to collect information.

He can tell what kind of person the new emperor is, and if he can't see clearly, he can send people to investigate.

No need for anyone to tell you.

But he also knew the reason why Sun Ji came to him and started nagging, which was against his usual behavior.

There is a ninety-nine percent chance that they want to win him over and use his Nie family's military power to support the master behind him; the remaining one percent possibility is that the aristocratic family represented by this old guy is fanciful and is preparing to support a puppet.

Anyway, no matter which possibility it is, he is just greedy for the soldiers under his command.

Nie Yao understood.

He is not an unkind person. Generally, he would agree to lend some soldiers to do something if someone asked him to do so.

Is this the appearance fee?

Need to talk.

With just a glance from Nie Yao, the servant waiting at the palace gate understood and took out a price list from his sleeve.

Hand it to Sun Ji.

The price is clearly marked on it.

The minimum amount of troops mobilized is 100,000 taels, with no upper limit.

In addition, they also provide services for those who need to borrow a few people to show off or want protection when going out, and the starting price is much more affordable.

For just two hundred taels, you can hire a veteran with at least three years of battlefield experience to protect you.

As for the number of people, you can have as many as you need.

The Nie family has nothing but a lot of soldiers.

If you have enough money, you can hire a top expert. If you have enough money, you can also spend a lot of money to specifically ask for Nie Yao's services.

"Sir Sun." His attendants were generally polite to their clients. He smiled and introduced Sun Ji: "Do you want personal protection, or a little military support?"

He is skilled in his business.

We also provided preferential packages based on Sun Ji’s actual situation.

At first, Sun Ji was very dissatisfied with the interruption of a small follower, but as several leaflets were exposed, Sun Ji's mood changed from anger to confusion and surprise, and then to speechlessness, and the changes were very exciting.

It took him a while to recover from his shock.

He took the so-called leaflet in silence.

Attendant: "Master Sun, please tell me what service you need from us."

Something as vital as military power has become a tool to exchange for money. Nie Yao truly deserves the title of the most corrupt official in the Dayu Dynasty.

He is a completely different person from his unyielding father.

This is to their advantage.

Within a few breaths, Sun Ji had a plan in mind, and his attitude towards Nie Yao became much kinder. "Lord Nie has misunderstood. I just want to stand up for you this time."

"You know, if it weren't for General Nie, the Great Yu Dynasty would have been torn apart by now."

"The Nie family has worked hard and made great contributions. Your Majesty not only fails to reward these meritorious officials, but instead suppresses the Nie family as soon as he ascends to power. Don't you feel wronged?"

Wronged?

You should ask Guan Junmao this question.

Nie Yao saw that Sun Ji didn't seem to want to spend money to do business with him, so he turned around and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to kill people and destroy their hearts.

Ask the servant to give a copy of the leaflet to the eunuch in the palace so that His Majesty the Emperor can also take a look at it and consider whether to give them money.

When Sun Ji heard this, his face looked a little unhappy.

"Master Nie, wait a minute!" He took two steps forward, continuing to test the waters. "Your Majesty is very sensitive these days, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to show these things to Your Majesty."

"If you're short of money, I have some savings here that I can give you for emergencies."

When he heard that there was money to be made, Nie Yao stopped immediately.

Turn around.

He asked directly, "How much can you give?"

"I still have some gold and silver at home, about three hundred taels. If Lord Nie needs it... Lord Nie?"

Three hundred taels?

To send away beggars.

Nie Yao felt insulted.

She snatched the flyer from his hand and threatened him on the spot: "From now on, the price of your Sun family's orders will be ten times higher, and the other families' will be tripled."

"If you don't pay me, I will only cooperate with the New Emperor."

"Wait for death!"

He spoke bluntly.

But that's the way it is.

The new emperor had the support of Prime Minister Dou Jinyuan, and the civil officials controlled most of the power; the Nie family held military power, and after Nie Yao returned to Beijing, he also took charge of the taxation of the Dayu Dynasty.

The Nie family has too much power.

Nie Lingfeng's reputation among the people even surpassed that of the royal family.

What emperor would allow a minister to have greater prestige than himself? If the Nie family had any sense, they would have been alert.

Therefore.

No matter how you look at it, these two forces should be at loggerheads with each other and cannot tolerate each other.

Who would have thought that this kid Nie Yao would not follow the usual path and even dare to use his military power to do business, and he even dared to do it in front of the new emperor openly?

absurd.

This is ridiculous!

Sun Ji's reason told him that no one would be so stupid as to bring disaster to the entire family for gold and silver.

But the person who did this was Nie Yao.

His heart was shaken.

Nie Yao returned to Beijing for seven years and spent his time amassing wealth, selling official positions and accepting bribes, committing all sorts of evil deeds.

Now, in the entire Dayu Dynasty, everyone knows Nie Yao as a corrupt official.

Given his personality, it seems not surprising that he would cooperate with the new emperor for money.

If that is true.

Then the situation of their aristocratic family would be difficult.

Sun Ji realized that his situation was not good, but at this time he still held on to the hope that Nie Yao's words were just to scare him into paying money.

Not really stupid.

Nie Yao lowered the curtain of the carriage.

A sneer appeared on his face.

It turns out that the richer people are, the stingier they are.

During the time when the old toad ignored state affairs and focused on finding people to circle and cross, the whole country was in chaos. The wealthy families took advantage of that time to make a fortune, and their families had so much money that they could spend and throw away a lot.

He was so rich, but he was only willing to give a mere three hundred taels when I wanted to bribe him.

It seems that cooperation with the new emperor must be carried out.

If we don’t create a sense of crisis for the aristocratic families, large orders will be a distant prospect.

That won't work.

His father won't have the money to build a school.

"go back."

Nie Yao closed his eyes, tapped his fingers on his legs, and thought about how to contact the new emperor.

Use the old feelings from the past?

I don’t know if the new emperor dares to recognize him now.

Otherwise, do we really have to use military power to negotiate with him?

That’s not a good idea either. What if the other party gets rid of you after you’ve done your job?

Trouble...

Nie Yao sighed softly.

As soon as he got home, he was worried and ordered his men to go to the residence of the Minister of Rites to collect the three hundred taels.

"Bring more people." He instructed his subordinates, "If that old guy Sun Ji doesn't give it to us, go to his house and take a look."

"Tell him clearly that it was donated to us."

“It’s a donation, not a loan.”

My subordinates have done this kind of thing at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand times.

The process is already well known.

"Yes, don't worry, sir!"

No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.

Three hundred taels is a drop in the bucket compared to the wealth of the aristocratic family, but for the financially strapped Nie Yao, it is a sum worth the journey.

Nie Yao: "Be a little mean and arrogant. Don't be nice to that old guy. Let him know how powerful we are."

"Hmm... eh? Yes!"

In the past, when Nie Yao arranged for them to collect money, he always asked them to be nice and not to hurt the harmony.

This time they can actually go to the other party's house to ask for it, and even give the other party a cold look!

The subordinates were a little excited.

His eyes lit up and he was eager to try: "Boss... Sir, only three hundred taels? Why don't we ask for more? That old guy is a fat sheep!"
