But favors are something that should be used once or less, and should not be used lightly.

Besides, Yang Fan may not necessarily give them the favor of the Xiao family.

These people are really like lions.

Xiao Wan actually wanted to discount the bidding price in half, but Xiao Wan didn't think he had such a big face.

Naturally, he didn't want to step forward for such a thankless task.

Anyway, this is something that you aristocratic families have done. Only now do you know how to be afraid?

Knowing that Yang Fan is not easy to deal with, you came to our Xiao family to wipe your butt?

Although Xiao Wan wanted to increase the influence of his Xiao family and ease the relationship between the Jiangnan nobles and Yang Fan.

But it definitely doesn’t mean that I am stupid and I will stand up for these people in everything!

If you are kidnapped by these people again and again, it will not increase Xiao's influence, but will become a big deal.

You can tell by looking at Zhu Pei, who has been sitting silently aside.

This guy really treated our Xiao family like a hammer.

Haha, it was you who caused this. Now you don’t want to pay to calm the situation. Don’t you just want me, the Xiao family, to go against Yang Fan?

This self-righteous guy really thinks that our Xiao family is stupid?

Besides, even if the Xiao family is willing to step forward, Yang Fan will never agree to such a ridiculous thing as halving the price.

After all, this involves whether the emperor's part of the money can be recovered smoothly.

It seems that I can only help these guys according to my own ideas.

As for whether these people could agree, that was not something Xiao Wan should consider.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wan pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Since you all trust our Xiao family so much, I naturally can't just sit idly by and ignore it."

"However, you also know Yang Fan's temperament very well. It is simply impossible to reduce his price by half. You must know that this also involves payment issues for aristocratic families in other areas."

"Therefore, I suggest that everyone try their best to raise money. As long as you can raise 70% of the bidding price, then for the remaining part, I will risk my old face and buy you a few years of buffer time."

In Xiao Wan's view, Yang Fan set up this situation not to uproot these aristocratic families, but to make the Jiangnan gentry bow their heads.

A young man with such wisdom would naturally not go on a killing spree and cause turmoil in Jiangnan, thus destroying Jiangnan's good situation.

In the final analysis, Yang Fan's plan is for Jiangnan to develop better and faster.

The Jiangnan nobles control various channels in Jiangnan. If Yang Fan wants to develop rapidly, he must get the full cooperation of the Jiangnan nobles.

As for Yang Fan, who said he refused to pay, he just sent troops to attack the situation. It was obvious that he wanted to scare these pampered families.

Now that he had made this judgment, Xiao Wan came up with the idea of ​​paying in installments.

Everyone will raise about 70% of the money to pay for it first, and then the remaining 30% will be paid off in the next few years.

Xiao Wan made it clear.

It's impossible to fold it in half.

Although our Xiao family has a good relationship with Yang Fan, we don't have such a big face.

We, the Xiao family, have done our best to obtain a deferral of payment for you.

Chen Zi looked at everyone and then said: "Mr. Xiao, how certain is the plan you mentioned? If it can be achieved, our Chen family will agree."

Xiao Wan did not answer, but looked at everyone and asked: "What do you think?"

Everyone also understood what Xiao Yu meant, and they all expressed their opinions: "I just don't know if Yang Fan can agree. If Yang Fan regrets it after we pay 70%, we will feel uneasy!"

Although it is difficult to raise 70% of the money, it is not impossible.

What everyone is worried about is that if Yang Fan disagrees after receiving 70% of the money, it will be a big loss.

When Xiao Wan was about to speak, the steward came to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

After the steward left, Xiao Wan said with a smile: "I have already taken care of your concerns, so I have sent the clan elders to Huating County for discussions before. Now that the news has been sent back, I wonder if you want to hear it.

"

"Please tell me, Mr. Xiao."

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family had already decided to stand up for everyone, and everyone was grateful.

After all, they had sent someone to discuss with Yang Fan a long time ago, just to think of what everyone was thinking!

As of now, the one who is most troubled is Zhu Pei.

It can be said that the Zhu family spent the most money on this auction.

Even if it is only 70%, it will take countless possessions to be sold to get it together.

Of course, no one will pay attention to Zhu Pei now.

Originally it was this guy who led everyone to cause trouble, but after the incident came out, it was completely out of the control of the Zhu family.

In the end, everyone had to be embarrassed and begged the Xiao family to come forward.

The leader of the Jiangnan gentry must be the Xiao family. The Zhu family is still far from being the leader of the Jiangnan gentry!

Just because of Xiao Wan's duty to share everyone's worries, the Xiao family will be able to follow suit in the future!

As for the Zhu family, they have not yet reached such a height!

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Xiao Wan smiled and said: "The Governor Yang Fan has proposed a plan. You can consider it. I think this plan is better than the one I just proposed."

"What the Grand Governor means is that since you are in difficulty, he can understand it. Even as long as everyone pays 50% of the bidding price, the other 50% can be paid with a loan from Datang Royal Bank."

"In this way, everyone will only need to pay a small amount of money every month. What do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone present was extremely excited.

Chen Zi quickly asked: "I wonder if the Governor has the conditions?"

Xiao Wan nodded and said: "As long as all future transactions are done with Datang Royal Bank, it will not have any impact on everyone."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for mediating. We will raise money right now."

Now that the matter has been resolved, everyone stood up and left.

Seeing everyone leaving, Xiao Wan sighed and rubbed his temples.

As we get older, our energy becomes less and less than before.

After taking a look at Xiao Ran, it seemed that we had to hurry up and train this successor.

He ordered Xiao Ran to serve him with pen and ink, and wrote a letter to him in his own handwriting, telling him: "Prepare some gifts to send to the Governor Yang Fan. At the same time, send this letter to say that I am grateful to the Governor for giving us the face of the Xiao family. In the future,

But if you are invited, our Xiao family is obliged to do so."

Xiao Ran was shocked and said hesitantly: "Aweng, isn't this too grand?"

In his opinion, although Yang Fan has a high and powerful position, he is still far behind Xiao Yu!

With Xiao Yu here in the Xiao family, there is no need to be humble to Yang Fan.

What's more, Xiao Rui is also attached to Ma Ye, and his status is no lower than that of Yang Fan.

You must know that Xiao Rui is Xiao Wan's junior, so he has to bow first when receiving gifts!

Nowadays, Xiao Wan not only wants to bring gifts to the door, but also says such words as "I have no obligation to ask for anything", which is simply unbelievable.

Xiao Wan sighed and explained: "You guys, your vision is too short-sighted. You only see Yang Fan's current identity and family background."

"In your hearts, you may all think that Yang Fan is just lucky to be where he is today, but you don't look at his talent and ability."

"Yang Fan gave so much money directly to the emperor this time. Even if the emperor won't reward him lavishly, he will keep this great contribution in his heart."

"Just wait and see, as long as this boy is a few years older, he will definitely become the Prime Minister!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wan said with some emotion: "Let me tell you, if Yang Fan hadn't been too young, the emperor might have promoted him to the top of the officials."

"Why don't we get closer to such a promising young talent?"

"What's more, Yang Fan is half of the Xiao family, so why don't we fully support him?"

Xiao Ran was shocked when he heard these words.

He didn't expect his grandpa's opinion of Yang Fan to be so high!

It is simply unheard of for someone to be unable to be promoted to the top position because of their young age!

However, Yang Fan is indeed scary enough.

It is not impossible for him to become a high official in a feudal territory even before he reaches the crown, and to become the head of hundreds of officials in the future.

This is a stock with real potential.

As Xiao Wan said, Yang Fan is still half of the Xiao family, and there is nothing wrong with getting closer to him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran no longer dared to neglect.
