After all, as the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, the Xiao family could not afford to see all these families decline.

Xiao Wan knew very well that with the Jiangnan aristocratic family's wealth, if all the bidding money was paid, there would no longer be any noble family in Jiangnan.

Thinking that some time ago these Jiangnan nobles actually wanted to bypass the Xiao family to deal with Yang Fan, Xiao Wan felt very unhappy.

Even so, the Xiao family cannot sit idly by completely.

Therefore, Xiao Wan must once again show the presence of the Xiao family and the status of the Xiao family.

On the one hand, let these Jiangnan nobles hang out and make these people fearful.

On the other hand, let them ask themselves, so that these people can realize that in today's Tang Dynasty, only the Lanling Xiao family can serve as the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, and no other families can.

How to show the status of the Xiao family?

The most direct way is to solve the problem of funds for the Jiangnan nobles.

Of course, it's not that the Xiao family has so much money to lend to these people, but that Xiao Wan has another way.

However, even though Xiao Wan wanted to save these aristocratic families, she did not intend to take action immediately.

Because only when people are in desperate situations can they feel the warmth of providing help in times of need.

More importantly, he also needs to evaluate whether Yang Fan accepts his suggestion.

Because if we want to solve this problem, the most important thing is Yang Fan!

The person who went to Huating County to contact us has not yet sent back the information.

Therefore, Xiao Wancai did not immediately go to meet the children of the Jiangnan family who came to the Xiao family.

Through the observations and information collected during this period, Xiao Wan knew very well Yang Fan's temperament. He really didn't know whether Yang Fan would accept his proposal.

If he did not accept this proposal, it would be impossible for the Xiao family to ease the relationship between the Jiangnan nobles and Yang Fan.

If the Jiangnan nobles who were bidding could not come up with so much money, Xiao Wan really didn't know if Yang Fan, the stickman, would take revenge regardless.

Although Xiao Wan couldn't stand the behavior of the Jiangnan nobles fighting for power, he could not just watch these Jiangnan nobles suffer a complete defeat.

After all, Yang Fan controls tens of thousands of naval soldiers. Once they get mixed up, you can imagine how miserable the Jiangnan nobles will be!

It may not be possible for Yang Fan to carry out massacres, but it is entirely possible for Yang Fan to confiscate all the properties of these aristocratic families.

Now Xiao Wan can only hope that Yang Fan will accept her suggestion and reconcile for the sake of Empress Xiao and Xiao Yu.

Thinking of the money that Yang Fan had given to the emperor not long ago from aristocratic families in other areas, Xiao Wan was deeply shocked by Yang Fan's methods.

He really didn't expect that Yang Fan was not only outstanding in ability, but also had a subtle control over people's hearts.

This move directly broke the opportunity for all the aristocratic families to work together to deal with him, and transferred most of the crisis directly to the emperor.

As a result, the pressure on Yang Fan was much less.

Once someone really dares to have evil intentions, Yang Fan has the ability to retaliate with harsh means.

At the same time, by handing over so much money to the emperor, you can get rewards and protection from the emperor.

It was terrible that Yang Fan resisted the temptation in such a short period of time.

This guy's political wisdom is slicker than those who have been immersed in officialdom for many years.

Now Yang Fan only keeps the money bid by the Jiangnan gentry. The Jiangnan gentry have long been frightened out of their wits. Who dares to resist?

In this way, even if you know about the auction

I was ripped off by Yang Fan again, and in the end I could only silently swallow this bitter pill.

This series of methods can be called perfect, and the calculations that link each link can be called brilliant.

What's more important is that Yang Fan can resist the temptation of tens of millions of dollars at a young age, which is not something that everyone has the courage to do.

"Giving a child is like a sail. No wonder Xiao Yu sighed like this before leaving. His talent for sailing is so monstrous that he really makes others envious!" Xiao Wan sighed with emotion in a low voice.

What is most important to a wealthy family?

Talent!

If an amazingly talented person emerges from the sky, it can often push the entire family to a higher level, and even lay a solid foundation that will last for thousands of years!

Although the Xiao family itself is considered to be full of talents, they are still far behind Yang Fan.

The Xiao family in Lanling has been a noble family for generations. Although the country was ruined and the family was ruined, they quickly rose again with the wealth and heritage accumulated by their ancestors.

But compared with its heyday, it is far behind.

what is the reason?

Of course there are no monster-like talents.

Although his cousin Xiao Yugui is the prime minister, given his age, reaching such a high status is already the limit.

What's more, the emperor obviously didn't trust Xiao Yu so much as Yang Fan.

You know, Xiao Yu has been dismissed as prime minister twice, who knows if there will be a next time.

Although the Xiao family was extremely noble, Xiao Wan knew very well that without Xiao Yu's support, the Xiao family would surely begin to lose.

Even if Empress Xiao made a plan first and married her daughter to Yang Fan as a concubine.

After all, that girl Xiao Shiyun’s bloodline is actually Yang!

If any of the legitimate daughters in his family could climb to the heights of Yang Fan, he would at least be able to ensure that his Xiao family would be able to sit back and relax for decades.

It's a pity that although Xiao's daughters are famous all over the world, none of them are particularly outstanding among this generation.

Xiao Wan was helpless!

While she was thinking, Mrs. Xiao came to the attic to report to the housekeeper.

"Master, Xiao Ran said that everyone in the family is already waiting. I wonder if you will go to meet me."

"Let them wait."

"promise!"

"Come back!" Xiao Wan stopped the steward who was about to leave and asked, "Has the clan elder who went to Huating County to meet Yang Fan come back?"

The steward smiled bitterly and said: "Master, the clan elders are already old, and there is a distance of several hundred miles from Lanling County to Huating County, so we won't be able to come back until evening at least."

Xiao Wan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "In that case, let's go meet these people first and see what they have to say."
Chapter completed!
