After taking a bite on Yang Fan's chest, Wu Meiniang scolded her: "My husband is so cruel, and he doesn't know how to show mercy to women."

Yang Fan chuckled and joked: "It seems that Mei Niang is jealous. How about I treat everyone equally? Look at Shi Yun and the two of them sleeping soundly!"

"Husband... knows how to bully Mei Niang. Mei Niang has something to say to you!" Wu Mei Niang said coquettishly.

Yang Fan hugged Wu Meiniang's delicate body and listened carefully.

Empress Wu Mei collected her thoughts and slowly recounted the rumors from the Plum Blossom Guard.

Yang Fan frowned slightly, he really didn't expect these aristocratic families to react so quickly.

To be honest, it was actually Yang Fan who did not have a correct understanding of Datang's money.

This time, Marquis Zhongyi defrauded several major families of nearly 10 million yuan. Such a large sum of money would seriously damage the vitality of several major families.

Of course they couldn't let Yang Fan be so carefree after suffering a loss.

However, Yang Fan was secretly glad that if he had not listened to Wu Meiniang's advice, he would have donated all the money to the court earlier.

He could imagine what a fierce storm he would face alone next.

After all, this amount of money is too scary!

What's more important is that the Aristocratic family has always been at a high level and has never suffered a loss. Now that it has suffered a dull loss, of course it has to show off its muscles.

Once these aristocratic families take action, it is foreseeable that in addition to instigating the common people, what will follow will inevitably be a group of censors and ministers from those aristocratic families to besiege. No one dares to underestimate the power of a thousand-year-old family.

Officialdom has official rules, and it is not a battle between two people competing for force, so Yang Fan cannot speak with his fists like before.

If we only use force to solve the problem, it will make people look down upon, and it will inevitably lead to some unrelated ministers joining the ranks of opponents.

Even as a time traveler, Yang Fan can only try his best to adapt to the rules of this era.

Trying to completely change the status quo of this era all at once will only become the public enemy of the entire society.

If a person becomes a public enemy of the entire society, he will be opposed by the entire class. As long as Yang Fan still wants to get involved in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty and gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, he must abide by the corresponding rules.

Otherwise, even His Majesty Li Er cannot save him, and dealing with Yang Fan is Li Er's only way.

Fortunately, with Wu Meiniang's reminder, she donated the money first, and now the person bearing the pressure becomes His Majesty Li Er.

As long as the court accepted the money, Yang Fan would have an excuse to take everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred away from him.

You can hide behind the emperor, sit back and relax, and watch the clouds roll with a smile.

Even if the aristocratic family wanted to deal with him, they would not dare to do so blatantly, and they would have no basis to criticize him.

Wu Meiniang is indeed one step ahead!

Although this girl is far away from the opportunity to hone her mind in the palace in her previous life.

But the talent for intrigue and politics is anything but subtle.

A simple move to divert trouble to the east, not only to extract himself from it.

If His Majesty Li Er's imperial edict to build a school is issued, he will still receive praise from the people.

What Yang Fan lost was just some money.

Do you think Yang Fan cares about money?

The answer is yes!

There is no one in this world who doesn’t like money. Those who say they don’t like money are just hypocritical people!

What's more, this is a total of nine million strings!

If this money is in hand, the speed of building sea-going ships will be accelerated, and the construction of the Ryukyu fiefdom will also be accelerated.

It's a pity that although Yang Fan likes money, he will never be swayed by money, let alone only take into account immediate interests!

Besides, Yang Fan is not short of money.

The profits of various products in Junyangfang are astonishing.

Even if it is distributed to His Majesty Li Er, it is only a small part of it.

It can be said that if it were just the expenses of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, he would have run out of money long ago!

Just one tea business can ensure that the descendants of the Yang family will live a luxurious life for several lifetimes.

Besides, Yang Fan also knows the principle of keeping wealth secret.

No one else knows how much money Junyang earns from various products.

But this time the sales of books and various school supplies were registered, so you can find out how much money you made.

This kind of money that is displayed on the surface is of no benefit to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

Yang Fan is very clear about the principle that a man is not guilty but possessing a jade is a crime.

Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Buwei in the Qin Dynasty, or Shen Wansan in the future...

These people are all extremely wealthy, and every one of them is a momentary hero, but these people are too high-profile!

If you show off your money, doesn't it make people jealous?

In their final fate, which one can get a good death?

With so many lessons learned, Yang Fan knew clearly where he should be placed and what path he should take.

Money is important, but isn’t it nice to make a fortune in silence?

Why make it known to everyone?

The money donated to the imperial court was considered by others to be as rich as the wealth of the country.

But this money is like a beautiful woman who has been stripped naked in the market, everyone can see it.

If Yang Fan wanted to make it his own, wouldn't this make people jealous?

Therefore, Wu Meiniang's attempt to divert the disaster to the east was simply too timely.

Looking at Wu Meiniang with a happy face, Yang Fan couldn't help but praise: "Meiniang is indeed a virtuous wife for my husband. If you hadn't reminded her, our Hou Mansion would have been really worried."

Hearing Yang Fan's praise, Wu Meiniang smiled like a crescent moon with her big eyes, and said softly: "This is what I should do. Meiniang also wants to thank your husband for your trust. If it were in another mansion, if Mei Niang dared to propose such a

If you donate a large sum of money to the court, you may have been beaten to death long ago!"

Yang Fan chuckled: "It's too late for Mei Niang to regret it now. If you want to go to another mansion, I won't allow it."

"In this life, no...even in the next life...the next life...Mei Niang will never escape from the palm of my husband."

Listening to such ordinary words of love in later generations, Wu Meiniang was so moved that she couldn't help but kiss her.

After a moment of tenderness, Wu Meiniang said: "My husband is really bad. Meiniang will never leave you even if I die!"

"Husband, I just received a letter from Xue Rengui this afternoon, saying that I must open it myself..."

With that said, Wu Meiniang took out a letter from the hidden compartment next to the couch.

After receiving the letter, he saw Wu Meiniang turning over and sleeping on the side, knowing that this woman was trying to avoid suspicion.

She is such a thoughtful woman, no wonder she can become a queen in another world.

However, Yang Fan did not let her read the letter together.

Women can be pampered, but not spoiled.

If there are no rules for everything between husband and wife, unpredictable things will happen.

Especially in large families, the majesty of the head of the family must be established.

What's more, this girl was too capable in the original history, and Yang Fan couldn't let her escape from the palm of his hand.

The reason why Wu Meiniang is put in charge of Junyangfang and various affairs in the mansion is to reduce her desire for power.

Of course, Yang Fan didn't want Wu Meiniang's ability to be lost in the long river of history, so he wanted her to use her talents in another field.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless talented and capable women, but there have been pitifully few women who have achieved great success in the end.

Yang Fan really didn't want to see a strange woman like Wu Meiniang become an ordinary woman who cared for her husband and raised her children.

He got up and went to the study, opened the sealing wax and took out the letter.

This was Xue Rengui's letter reporting on the progress of sea-going ship construction. After reading it quickly, Yang Fan was immediately excited.

It’s really not yet. Not only has the first batch of sea-going ships been built, but they will also be ready for sea trials in five months.

The letter also stated that the large shipyard he had asked him to build secretly had been completed.

At this shipyard, Yang Fan planned to put the "Gaoyang Princess" redeemed from the system there to hide it from others.

The things redeemed from the system are made out of nothing, and Yang Fan always has to find an excuse and a source.

Yang Fan originally planned to take time to go to Jiangnan Road after getting married to Princess Gaoyang.

It seems that after taking the imperial examination, he must set off south as soon as possible to open up a sea route, so that his goals of economic colonization and enslavement overseas can be gradually carried out.

After reading the letter, Yang Fan squeezed out a grin on his lips. Colonization overseas cannot be accomplished in one go. It can only be done step by step and prioritized.

If Yang Fan dislikes the most, it is of course the seemingly polite but cunning people of later generations.
