After all, Duan Zhixuan has not yet arrived in Jiangnan, and no one knows whether something unexpected will happen.
What's more, Yang Fan gave this unprecedented sum of money to His Majesty Li Er as soon as he changed hands. There was no guarantee that the emperor would suddenly withdraw his orders and recruit Duan Zhi back.
What's more important is that no one in Huating County today doesn't applaud Yang Fan.
Moreover, all the officials were united with Yang Fan. Even if Duan Zhixuan was appointed by the emperor as the governor of the governor's office, who knows whether the duke could stand up to Yang Fan.
You must know that Duan Zhixuan's two sons were ruined by Yang Fan, and Duan Zhixuan had nothing to do with Yang Fan.
Therefore, Zhu Lai cannot place all his hopes on Duan Zhixuan.
Of course, Zhu Lai hopes that Changsun Anye can ask Changsun Wuji to take action himself.
As a veteran official, Changsun Anye could naturally understand what Zhu Lai meant, but he could not express his opinion.
The letter sent from Chang'an specifically stated that the eldest grandson An Yeshao should be involved in the fight between the Jiangnan nobles and Yang Fan.
Changsun Wuji's intention was very obvious. It would not be too late to take action until Duan Zhixuan and the Jiangnan nobles were both injured in the fight with Yang Fan.
Although Changsun Anye couldn't get involved personally, he couldn't let the Zhu family, who was charging into the battle, stop, so he quickly promised: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, it is certain that Duan Zhixuan will be appointed as the chief historian in Jiangnan."
There is no possibility of changing things."
"Even if the emperor wants to take back his life, it won't be possible in a short time. After all, the emperor's golden words cannot be changed overnight."
"What's more, even if His Royal Highness the King of Wei returns to Chang'an, Duan Zhixuan may soon arrive in Jiangnan by then, and it will be impossible for the emperor to recall him."
"Think about it, with the hostile relationship between the Duan family and Yang Fan, once Duan Zhixuan becomes the chief minister, Yang Fan will not be able to live a good life. When the time comes, you will take advantage of the situation and you will surely catch Yang Fan off guard."
Although Chu Lai felt that it was still a bit unsafe, but thinking about having to pay the huge sum of money, he had no choice but to implement the procrastination strategy.
For the current plan, we can only quickly recruit more Jiangnan nobles to join the water, so that Yang Fan does not dare to take action easily.
But winning over these frightened Jiangnan nobles is easier said than done.
After all, without enough benefits, who will fight for you?
Thinking of charging into battle, Zhu Lai thought of the Lin family and Lin Quan.
On the one hand, the Lin family is quite powerful.
On the other hand, Lin Quan is easy to control and can just write some bad checks.
According to his son Zhu Pei, Lin Quan was kicked out of the Xiao family directly.
This is a slap in the face of the Lin family. I think the Lin family will definitely not let it go.
As long as the Lin family is allowed to charge forward, he will be able to win over some Jiangnan nobles to stand on the same line.
With such a large formation, even Yang Fan did not dare to act rashly.
As Changsun Anye said, if we first find a way to delay Duan Zhixuan from coming to Huating County, the situation will definitely change.
For the current plan, we still have to find Lin Quan, a stupid young man, to interfere with the situation.
But what Zhu Lai didn't know was that Lin Quan was already under house arrest by the Lin family.
Moreover, Lin Dong personally visited the Xiao family and had no intention of antagonizing the Xiao family.
What's more important is that Lin Dong has received Yang Fan's guarantee and it is impossible to stand on the same line as the Zhu family.
With the plan in mind, Chu Lai began to take action.
While pretending to be raising money, they sent people to Datang Royal Bank in Huating County for loan negotiations.
In Zhu Lai's plan, he first borrowed some money from Datang Royal Bank to pay Yang Fan.
If something unexpected happens in the future, you can just evade it with various reasons. It is absolutely impossible to get the Zhu family to give out money.
…
Time flies so fast, a few days pass in the blink of an eye, and the winter in Jiangnan gradually becomes colder.
In the wet and cold weather, some topics are extremely hot.
The most widely circulated among them is naturally the banknote and loan projects promoted by the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty.
The introduction of paper money has made people's consumption much more convenient.
Although some people still hold a wait-and-see attitude, the situation has opened up.
As soon as the news came out that Datang Royal Bank was lending money at extremely low interest rates, it swept across Jiangnan like a typhoon.
Those Jiangnan families who were taking a wait-and-see attitude saw that the interest rate was really as low as rumored.
Everyone took out mortgage loans one after another, and the main purpose was of course to pay off the expenses incurred during the bidding process.
In addition, some business-minded people and businessmen also followed suit and wanted to loan some money from the bank for business.
Of course, Yang Fan will not be stingy. As long as there is a mortgage, he will accept anyone who comes.
Since there were too many people borrowing money, Yang Fan even specially arranged for some capable officials to go to Datang Royal Bank to help.
While the loan business was being processed, various families that had subscribed for shares also sent money one after another.
The accumulation of original capital of Datang Royal Bank has entered a benign stage.
Transactions and banknote consumption through the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty have gradually penetrated into the daily behavior of people in Jiangnan.
After all, the Datang Royal Bank was established in the name of the Tang royal family and the imperial court, and the people still trusted it.
As a result, more and more people have taken out their savings and deposited them in banks.
As a result, Datang Royal Bank's ability to attract deposits began to appear.
At the same time, banknotes soon spread throughout Jiangnan.
Banknotes can be promoted and used so efficiently, except for good publicity.
It seems that the people's recognition of the imperial court is relatively high now, otherwise they would not easily believe in the credibility of Datang Royal Bank.
Various aristocratic families who had paid off their bidding fees through mortgage loans also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because each family finally got the technology they wanted so much.
With these technologies, it may not take long to pay off the money spent on this auction.
What's more important is that almost all of these technologies are family properties that can be passed down from generation to generation.
At first, these aristocratic families thought it was a bit expensive, but now everyone thinks it is well worth the money.
Some aristocratic families that had a wait-and-see attitude were gradually withdrawn from the bidding by Yang Fan because they failed to pay in full.
Because they lost their qualifications, they also lost their technical advantages. The emergence of new products one after another made each company feel disgraced and they had no choice but to spread all their grievances on the Zhu family.
If the Zhu family hadn't vowed to engage in "procrastination tactics" to make everyone collectively delay payment, how would everyone be in such an embarrassing situation now?
Nowadays, when I see others eating meat but I can't even drink the soup, I am naturally filled with resentment.
However, the Zhu family is so powerful that everyone can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Of course, the biggest benefit from this incident was Yang Fan. Not only did he plunder a huge amount of wealth without losing a single blow, but he also completely stabilized the Royal Bank of Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan. This is definitely a milestone.
Yang Fan was happy, but even the eighteen generations of Yang Fan's ancestors sent greetings to those Jiangnan nobles who were disqualified from bidding.
Yang Fan is really too treacherous.
Because Yang Fan sold these technologies and cooperation opportunities to their competitors as soon as he changed hands, these Jiangnan nobles were full of complaints.
At the same time, the lending behavior of Datang Royal Bank also made Jiangnan's business environment prosperous.
Those ordinary people and poor families who had business acumen but no capital also had the capital to start a business.
As Datang Bank's various businesses gained popularity, Yang Fan further strengthened his control over Jiangnan.
From now on, the economic lifeline of Jiangnan will be in Yang Fan's hands. Who dares to resist head-on?
As a result, when everyone discovered the terrifying control and influence of the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty, these Jiangnan nobles were even more jealous.
…
The ancestral home of the Zhu family in Haiyan County!
"boom!"
Zhu Lai kicked over the desk in front of him and cursed through gritted teeth: "Yang Fan, you are really bullying me. You dared to deprive our Zhu family of the salt farm quota and even sell it to the Lin family. I really thought that
Are our Zhu family easy to bully?"
No wonder Zhu Lai was angry. Because the Zhu family was procrastinating in making payments, Yang Fan directly canceled the Zhu family's qualifications and sold the qualifications to the Lin family.
Everyone in Jiangnan knows that the main industry of the Zhu family is selling salt. If there is no such indicator, what should the Zhu family do?
Moreover, Yang Fan directly took away the salt farm indicators without giving the Zhu family a chance to explain. It was simply a naked humiliation.
Zhu Lai now feels that the procrastination trick he did has become a joke.
What's more important is that some Jiangnan aristocratic families who were inspired by him were also implicated, which made these Jiangnan noble families furious and targeted the Zhu family.
Now the Zhu family can be said to have become the target of collective complaints from the Jiangnan gentry and the target of public criticism!
On one side of Zhu Lai, there was a handsome young man sitting, this man was Changsun Chong.
Hearing Zhu Lai insulting Yang Fan, Changsun Chong also had a look of resentment on his face. His handsome face became distorted, and then he said bitterly: "If Yang Fan is not eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will not be at peace!"
If we talk about hatred towards Yang Fan, Changsun Chong definitely has much more hatred than Zhu Lai!
Not to mention that he was forced by Yang Fan to be sent to Lingnan, the hatred of seizing his wife was not something that Changsun Chong could forget.
It is simply a shame to go from a young talent praised by everyone in Chang'an City to a fugitive that everyone now calls for beating.
Although I am now hiding in the Zhu family anonymously, every time I think about the huge difference between before and now.
Changsun Chong wanted to eat Yang Fan's flesh and drink Yang Fan's blood.
The hatred of seizing your wife is irreconcilable!
Of course, despite being angry, Changsun Chongdao would not be so happy.
After this period of training, he is no longer as naive as before.
The reason why he was so angry was mainly to cooperate with the Zhu family and make the Zhu family even more resentful towards Yang Fan.
If the Zhu family gives up targeting Yang Fan, then no one can really help him deal with Yang Fan.
At the very least, the Zhu family must be allowed to hold on until Duan Zhixuan's arrival, so that these people and forces can be united to deal with Yang Fan.
On the other side, eldest grandson Anye was drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing the performance of his nephew Chang Sun Chong, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
After this period of training, Changsun Chong has become more and more mature.
If he had had such knowledge and means before, Yang Fan would not have been forced into such an embarrassing situation.
But he believed that as long as Changsun Wuji survived, his nephew would return to Chang'an one day.
Of course, this is also the belief that Changsun Chong maintains his fighting spirit and hope.
But when he saw Zhu Lai, who was looking angry and indignant, the eldest grandson Anye was shocked.
This guy is really stupid!
I only know how to do procrastination, but I don't have any money. If I had spent some money to make some payments, I wouldn't be so passive now.
Now Yang Fan is working hard to subdue these opposing Jiangnan families step by step, and has even forced the Zhu family into an isolated and helpless situation.
If he didn't want the Zhu family as a hiding place, Changsun Anye would have left long ago.
Now that he is closely related to the Zhu family and has entangled interests, he naturally cannot sit back and watch the Zhu family be easily crushed to death by Yang Fan, at least until Duan Zhixuan arrives.
Thinking of this, Changsun Anye coughed dryly and reminded: "Brother Zhu, you have to make plans early!"
Zhu Lai was stunned and frowned: "Brother Zhangsun, what do you mean? Does that stick really dare to deal with our Zhu family?"
"As the saying goes, a strong dragon wants to overpower the local snake. The Zhu family's hundreds of years of foundation in Wu County has survived countless dynasties. I have never seen any big storms. How can I be afraid of a young child?"
Arrogant and extremely stupid...
This is what Changsun Anye said about Zhu Pei. Although he looked down on this guy in his heart, he still took the trouble to say: "Yang Fan is not a young boy. He can hold a high position at a young age. This guy is treacherous!"
"Do you think, why did Bangchui withdraw your bidding project? Is it just because you didn't pay?"
"In my opinion, Yang Fan's main purpose is to alienate the relationship between the Jiangnan family and the Zhu family, so that you will be isolated."
"I heard that Yang Fan specially visited the Xiao family a few days ago, and also promised many benefits. Not only did he tie the Xiao family and most of the Jiangnan nobles to his chariot, but even the Lin family in Jiangnan also changed their attitude.
"
"Nowadays, the Zhu family's salt farm quota was not only canceled intentionally by Yang Fan, but also sold to the Lin family. Think about it, will other Jiangnan nobles dare to oppose Yang Fan after seeing this situation?"
"What's more important is that this time Yang Fan used means to sow discord, making the Zhu family besieged on all sides and isolated, so it's not clear what Yang Fan wants to do next."
Zhu Lai was directly shocked by these words. He had no idea at all and blurted out: "What does Yang Fan want to do?"
Hearing this, Changsun Anye almost burst out with blood.
You old guy, did you do this on purpose?
I've made it so obvious, why do you still ask questions knowingly?
Could it be that your head is filled with pig brains?
Although he was very angry, Changsun Anye's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "In my estimation, Yang Fan is probably going to attack the Zhu family."
The purpose of Yang Fan's series of operations is to force the Zhu family into an isolated and helpless situation.
Nowadays, most of the Jiangnan nobles have either been won over by Yang Fan and happily cooperate with him to do business.
Even if they are uncooperative, these families maintain a neutral attitude.
A small number of people who opposed Yang Fan were also very angry with the Zhu family because they were disqualified.
If Yang Fan takes action against the Zhu family, no aristocratic family will lend a helping hand now!
No matter how arrogant Zhu Lai is, he will not foolishly think that the Zhu family has the capital to fight against Yang Fan alone!
what to do?
Zhu Lai looked uncertain and secretly worried.
The eldest grandson Anye still drank tea calmly and never said a word.
Now that he is in his fifties and a convicted criminal, it is simply unrealistic for him to return to Chang'an.
What's more, human lifespan is very short at this time. Being in your fifties is already considered a long life, so how many more years can you live?
In recent years, relying on the protection of Changsun Wuji, he has become a guest of some aristocratic families in Jiangnan, which is already the best result.
Even if the Zhu family fails, he can choose to find another one.
It can be said that the life and death of the Zhu family actually has little to do with him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhu family was of some use and that they were doing their best for themselves, the eldest grandson Anye wouldn't care about these rotten things of the Zhu family.
In his opinion, Chu Lai's ambition is as high as the sky, but his fate is as thin as paper.
Apart from some money, he has almost nothing to rely on in the officialdom.
With such a background, it is simply wishful thinking to want to compete for the position of leader of the Jiangnan gentry.
What's even more ridiculous is that Zhu Lai wants to deal with Yang Fan but refuses to give up his interests. Chang Sun Anye actually looks down upon this kind of person.
But now the Zhu family still needs to take the lead in fighting against Yang Fan. As a last resort, eldest son Anye reminds him from time to time.
He didn't want all the Jiangnan nobles to obey Yang Fan before Duan Zhixuan came to Jiangnan. This was not a scene he wanted to see.
Although Duan Zhixuan may not be able to kill Yang Fan when he comes to Jiangnan, both Changsun Anye and Changsun Chong are still full of such hope.
Especially Changsun Chong, in his opinion, as long as Yang Fan is killed, he can return to Chang'an in an honest manner.
Seeing his uncle's disappointed look on Zhu Lai, Changsun Chong sighed secretly.
Although letting the Zhu family deal with Yang Fan is just an egg hitting a stone.
But it’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to God to make things happen!
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Changsun Chong will not let it go, what if there is a chance!
Besides, even if it fails, it will have no impact on their eldest son's family. Anyway, this is a conflict between the Zhu family and Yang Fan, the Jiangnan nobles.
But no matter what, the Zhu family cannot be destroyed now.
Thinking of this, Changsun Chong reminded: "Master Zhu, although Yang Fan may have intentions to deal with you, you don't need to be too nervous."
"Jiangnan is now in a stable period. No matter how hard Yang Fan strikes, he cannot easily destabilize Jiangnan. Therefore, Yang Fan will definitely not take action against you in the near future."
"If you are worried, you can also ask people to go to Huating County to express their goodwill to Yang Fan. Even if Yang Fan continues to fool around, he will not dare to act rashly."
"After all, if someone knew that Yang Fan would deal with him when he came to show his kindness, then who would dare to seek refuge with him?"
After hearing Chang Sun Chong's analysis, Zhu Lai thought it made sense.
Since there is no other better way, I can only give in temporarily.
After thanking Changsun Chong, he quickly asked his servant to prepare gifts and send them to Huating County.
While the Zhu family is panicking, Yang Fanjin has been in a good mood recently.
On the one hand, the due dates of Wu Meiniang and her daughters are approaching.
After two lifetimes, I am naturally overjoyed to be a father soon.
On the other hand, all the nobles who participated in the auction submitted their subscription shares or bidding money.
Even if they don't have enough money, they still submit mortgages for loans.
Without spending a penny, Yang Fan earned more than 10 million yuan this time through technology transfer and cooperation.
Is there anything more pleasant than this in the world?
This money can be said to be Yang Fan's own private property.
Now Yang Fan can say without hesitation that he is absolutely rich.
