But the capital, to put it bluntly, is not Nie Li's base.
Although Nie Li is effective here, he is definitely not as good as Shendu.
The reason is that the forces in the capital are so intertwined that there are simply too many.
The tiger sits on the dragon's plate.
It can be said that here, there are too many centuries-old clans and there are countless powerful ones.
Moreover, the land owned by this group of people is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although these people revere and fear power, they will never succumb to power without reason.
Especially Nie Li's simple and crude orders!
Hand over the land?
What a joke.
They were all looking for officials they knew well to get information, hoping to avoid this disaster. However, they were surprised to find that all the officials were silent and no one dared to see them.
Only those families that Old Feng met were considered merciful.
This caused people's hearts to fluctuate, and even business was affected to a certain extent. If Nie Li hadn't had the foresight to merge the Beijing Wanhe branch into the Ministry of Commerce in advance, the Ministry of Commerce would have been really uncomfortable this time.
After all, the stability and prosperity of business is the prerequisite for national development.
The Jin family and several other families, following Lao Feng's warning, reluctantly listened to Lao Feng's words, and all their land was traded to the state at a fair price.
Although the money has to be paid in installments, I feel a lot more at ease.
Although he is said to be a soft persimmon, the family business will not have any major changes, especially since there are shops and factories, there is still wealth.
However, some people are not able to see clearly.
There are families involved in politics, families doing business, and down-and-out nobles left over from the previous dynasty. Although they have lost their power, their assets are absolutely strong.
But at this moment, they have a common name.
That is a disobedient family!
These people got together next to a person no one expected.
Conspiracy was carried out.
The capital, the Yuan family's house, is not the house where old Yuan lived.
That house has long since been taken over by the public.
But after Yuan Lao Er took his people back to his hometown, Yuan Lao Er couldn't bear to leave the capital, and he couldn't bear to let go of the properties and land he bought in the capital for many years.
Although the Yuan family's power is no longer there, its glory remains the same as before.
Because the old people in Beiyang still have a natural affection for the children of the Yuan family.
The goodwill of the largest military group in the country is enough to make the Yuan family live well.
Most of the Yuan family members have left, leaving only Mr. Yuan to take care of these properties.
The whole day was spent in a cool way, riding an eagle and walking birds, and doing everything.
Whatever is fun to play, I wouldn’t change it for a god in those days.
But today, in the usually quiet house, people started to cautiously enter through the side door.
From time to time there would be sneaky servants looking around and standing guard.
Very suspicious.
However, this is the Yuan family, and the patrol policemen don't pay attention.
In the house, almost all the large and small families in the capital who opposed Nie Li's policies were present.
Looking at Mr. Yuan, who had a shocked expression on his face in the main seat, everyone waited expectantly for his answer.
Boss Yuan was shocked. "Do you want me to die?"
You actually want to take the lead in resisting Nie Li's policies? It's just nonsense.
Although my younger sister is favored, I can't tell who the married girl will target now.
He shook his head repeatedly.
But the head of the Dong family below looked at Boss Yuan seriously: "My lord, are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life? Living in the shadow of others?"
The face is sincere and the words are genuine.
"Yes. Young Master, we are leaderless at the moment, and you are the only one qualified to do so."
"Who are you? You are the eldest son of Mr. Yuan. You have enough prestige. At this time, you have to stand up!"
Boss Yuan shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no! I can't offend that brother-in-law. He is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Why should I fight with him?"
"I haven't had enough good times yet."
The head of the Dong family looked at Boss Yuan and cried: "Why can't you afford to offend me? You have us? Half of our families in the capital support you, what else do you have to fear? To put it bluntly, with all of us Your wealth is more than enough to buy half of the capital, why don’t you have the strength?”
"We will give you a reassurance. Our initial idea is to win over those who are unwilling to succumb to Nie Li's policies and bring them all into our camp, with you as the leader!"
"And what we do is support you in a high position through various methods!"
"What kind of commander-in-chief of the three armies? There are still only a few major factions in the army now. The only ones Nie Li can really use are his three provinces army, Dongshan army, and Outer Mongolia army. Aren't the rest in the hands of the old Beiyang people?"
"Those troops are beyond the reach of the whip. As long as you raise your arms and shout loudly, as Mr. Yuan, will the people of Old Beiyang still attack you?"
"The only reason for soldiers to eat food is for money. If we have money, we can feed those people well. When the time comes, we will have the capital and even the whole of Zhili at our fingertips!"
"What else are you afraid of?"
The head of the Dong family gave a passionate speech.
"At that time, the capital will be our world, and you can even show off your unfinished ambitions of Mr. Yuan."
The head of the Dong family, Dong Mingcheng, became more and more excited as he talked, and his beard trembled.
But Boss Yuan became more and more frightened as he listened.
This is not about dying, but about dying beyond redemption.
Although the troops in the capital are still in the hands of Lao Beiyang, who doesn't know that Nie Li is now powerful in the world? Does anyone really dare to do it?
"I won't do it!"
Hesitating, Dong Mingcheng looked at Boss Yuan's hesitation and decided to add another fire to Boss Yuan.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you believe it? Look at them!"
As he said that, several people came in outside.
Boss Yuan showed a surprised look on his face.
"Why are you here?"
Boss Yuan looked at several people in surprise.
Those people had smiles on their faces: "Of course you are here so that the eldest son can revive the power of Beiyang again?"
They were all Lao Yuan's former close men. After Lao Yuan's downfall, these people were marginalized. However, although they were marginalized, they still had some strength.
It is precisely because of this that Dong Mingcheng dares to make such wild remarks.
Boss Yuan was excited and moved.
Looking at these people, they kept pacing and walking back and forth with their hands behind their backs.
Think about it, I am also in my thirties or forties, but what about now? Nothing was accomplished.
He rode an eagle and walked birds all day just to reassure his brother-in-law.
Stop following him.
But he never wanted to live like this.
Deep down in his heart, he also wants to be the eldest son he once was.
At that time, the Yuan family was still there, and he, the eldest son, was the prince.
Where is it like now, where you are just a dandy?
"You also support me?"
