In fact, it’s not that Zhu Lai is so cautious.

After all, Duan Zhixuan has not arrived in Jiangnan yet, and no one knows if anything will happen.

What's more, Yang Fan gave this unprecedented huge sum of money to His Majesty Li Er in one go. It is hard to guarantee that the emperor would suddenly take back Cheng's life and summon Duan Zhi back.

More importantly, no one in Huating County today applauds Yang Fan.

Moreover, all the officials were united with Yang Fan. Even if Duan Zhixuan was appointed as the chief of the Grand Governor's Office by the emperor, who knew whether this duke could fight against Yang Fan.

You should know that Duan Zhixuan’s two sons were both deprived of Yang Fan, and Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to deal with Yang Fan.

Therefore, Zhu Lai could not place all his hopes on Duan Zhixuan.

Of course, Zhu Lai hopes that Changsun Anye can ask Changsun Wuji to take action personally.

As an old official, Changsun Anye could naturally understand Zhu Lai's meaning, but he could not express his opinion.

The letter from Chang'an specifically explained that Changsun Anye Shao had mixed with the struggle between the Jiangnan gentry and Yang Fan.

Changsun Wuji's meaning is very obvious. It is not too late to take action when Duan Zhixuan and the Jiangnan gentry fought with Yang Fan in a defeat.

Although Changsun Anye was not able to get involved in it personally, he could not let the Zhu family, the guy who was charging into battle, stop, so he quickly promised: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, Duan Zhixuan's position as the chief minister of Jiangnan is a foregone conclusion, and there will be no possibility of change."

"Even if the emperor wants to take back his life, it is not possible to do it in a short time. After all, the emperor's golden words cannot change his orders every day."

"What's more, even if His Highness of the King of Wei returns to Chang'an, Duan Zhixuan may soon arrive in Jiangnan by then, and it is impossible for the emperor to recall it."

"Think about it, with the hostile relationship between the Duan family and Yang Fan, once Duan Zhixuan becomes the chief minister, there will be no good life for Yang Fan. When the time is right, you will take advantage of the situation and catch Yang Fan off guard."

Although Zhu Lai felt that it was still a bit unstable, he could only implement the delay method when he wanted to pay the huge sum of money.

For the sake of the present, only by attracting more Jiangnan gentry into the water can Yang Fan not dare to take action easily.

However, it is easy to say but difficult to win over these frightened Jiangnan gentry.

After all, if there is not enough profit, who will charge for you?

When Zhu Lai thought of charging into battle, he thought of the Lin family and Lin Quan.

On the one hand, the Lin family has a good power.

On the other hand, Lin Quan is easy to control and just write some blank checks.

According to his son Zhu Pei, Lin Quan was directly driven out of the Xiao family.

This has slapped the Lin family in the face. I think the Lin family will not give up.

As long as the Lin family charges in front of the battle, they will win over some Jiangnan gentry and stand on the same line.

With such a large formation, even Yang Fan dared not act rashly.

As Changsun Anye said, only by finding a way to drag Duan Zhixuan to Huating County first, the situation will probably change.

For the sake of the present, I still have to find Lin Quan, a naughty young man, to make a comeback.

But what Zhu Lai didn't know was that Lin Quan had been under house arrest by the Lin family.

Moreover, Lin Dong also visited the Xiao family in person, without any intention of getting into evil with the Xiao family.

More importantly, Lin Dong has received Yang Fan's guarantee and it is impossible for him to stand on the same line as the Zhu family.

With a plan, Zhu Lai began to act.

While sending people to raise money, they also sent people to Datang Royal Bank of Huating County for loan negotiations.

In Zhu Lai's plan, he would first borrow some money from the Tang Dynasty Royal Bank to pay Yang Fan in the early stage.

If there is any change in the future, you can just give up on various reasons. It is absolutely impossible to ask the Zhu family to spend money.

...

Time flies very quickly, and a few days pass in a blink of an eye, and Jiangnan is gradually becoming colder as winter begins.

In wet and cold weather, some topics are so hot.

The most widely circulated one is naturally the paper currency and loan projects promoted by the Royal Bank of Tang Dynasty.

The implementation of paper money has made consumption much more convenient for the people.

Although some people are still waiting and watching, the situation has been opened.

Once the news of Datang Royal Bank lending at extremely low interest rates came out, it swept across Jiangnan like a typhoon.

Those Jiangnan families who were waiting and watching saw that the interest rate was as low as the rumors were.

Everyone took mortgage loans one after another, and the main purpose was of course to pay off the fees incurred during the auction process.

In addition, some business-minded people and businessmen also followed suit, hoping to lend some money from the bank to do business.

Of course, Yang Fan will not be stingy. As long as there is a mortgage, he will never refuse anyone.

Due to too many people taking out loans, Yang Fan even arranged some capable officials to go to the Royal Bank of Tang to help.

While handling the loan business, the families that subscribed to the shares also sent the 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 the people in Jiangnan.

After all, the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty was opened in the name of the royal family and the court, and the people still trusted it relatively.

As a result, more and more people took out their deposits to deposit them into the bank.

As a result, the reserve-absorbing ability of Datang Royal Bank began to appear.

At the same time, paper money quickly spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

Paper money can be promoted and used so efficiently, except for being fully promoted.

It seems that the people still have a high recognition of the imperial court now, otherwise they would not easily believe in the credibility of the Tang Dynasty Royal Bank.

The various aristocratic families who paid the auction through mortgage loans also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the families of all generations finally got the technology they are thinking about.

With these technologies, it may not take long to pay off the money spent on this auction.

More importantly, these technologies are almost all home businesses that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Originally, these aristocratic families thought it was a bit expensive, but now everyone thinks it is worth it.

And some families who were waiting and watching were successively taken back by Yang Fan because they did not pay the money.

Due to the loss of qualifications, they also lost their technological advantages. The emergence of new products has caused all the companies to be in vain and have to spread all their resentment on the Zhu family.

If the Zhu family hadn't been swearing in the "drag-up technique" that made everyone collectively delay payment, how could everyone be in such an embarrassing situation now?

Now, seeing others eating meat but I can’t even drink soup, I’m naturally full of resentment.

However, the Zhu family is in great power, so everyone can only dare not speak out.

Of course, the biggest benefit of this matter was Yang Fan. Not only did he plunder a huge amount of wealth without bloodshed, but he also completely stabilized the Tang Dynasty Royal Bank in Jiangnan. This is definitely a milestone.

Yang Fan was happy, but the Jiangnan gentry who had been disqualified from bidding even gave greetings to Yang Fan's ancestors for 18 generations.

Yang Fan is really too treacherous.

Because Yang Fan sold these technologies and cooperation opportunities to their competitors as soon as he changed his hands, making these Jiangnan gentry complain.

At the same time, the lending behavior of Datang Royal Bank also made the business environment in Jiangnan prosperous.

Those people and poor families who have business acumen but have no capital also have the capital to start their own business.

As Datang Bank's various businesses became popular, Yang Fan further strengthened his control over Jiangnan.

In the future, the economic lifeline of Jiangnan will be in the hands of Yang Fan, so who dares to resist head-on?

In this way, when everyone discovered the terrifying control and influence of the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty, these Jiangnan gentry were even more hated.

...

The Zhu family’s ancestral home in Haiyan County!

"Bang!"

Zhu Lai kicked the table in front of him, and saw him cursing with gritted teeth: "Yang Fan, you are so bullying that you dare to deprive our Zhu family of salt farm indicators and sell it to the Lin family. Do you really think our Zhu family is easy to bully?"

No wonder Zhu Lai got angry. Because the Zhu family delayed payment, Yang Fan directly disqualified the Zhu family and sold the qualification to the Lin family.

Everyone in Jiangnan knows that the main industry of their Zhu family is salt trading. If there is no such indicator, what should their Zhu family do?

Moreover, Yang Fan took away the salt farm indicators directly and did not give the Zhu family a chance to explain, which was simply a naked humiliation.

Zhu Lai now feels that the procrastination method he has made has become a joke.

More importantly, some Jiangnan families who were tempted by him were also implicated, which made these Jiangnan geniuses furious and pointed their fingers at the Zhu family.

Now the Zhu family has become the target of collective complaints from the Jiangnan gentry and the target of public criticism!

On the side of Zhu Lai, there was a handsome young man sitting, who was Changsun Chong.

Hearing Zhu Lai insult Yang Fan, Changsun Chong also looked angry on his face. His handsome face became distorted, and then he said hatefully: "If Yang Fan is not eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will be uneasy!"

If we talk about the hatred of Yang Fan, Changsun Chong is definitely much more than Zhulai!
