It wasn't until Wu Zhongtian left the Xia family mansion that Xia Ya, who had been silent since Xia Fan came to the front hall, asked with some worry in his tone: "Is this good?" What if it really forces those wealthy families to the point that they jump over the wall in a hurry? The power they possess is still very strong, even if the dynasty is not afraid of their counterattack now, but it is better to avoid this kind of loss after all, right? ”

"It's okay, father, don't think too fragile about the dynasty. The power that Guangyuan has in his hands is far more powerful than what appears on the surface. Indeed, if they really choose to burn the jade, then for the dynasty, it will cause immeasurable damage in the short term. But in the long run, it is possible to give the dynasty a different kind of vitality. ”

Xia Fan shook his head, and the old god sat back in his seat, and continued: "Of course, this is the worst outcome, and no matter how you look at it, this outcome is impossible. ”

"Are you so sure? That's eighty percent, if they really agree to this share you want, then for those wealthy families, even if it is not the end of the world, it can be called ruined. ”

Xia Ya said strangely.

"It's not a small grasp, father, let me ask you, what do you think is the most important thing for a wealthy family that has been inherited for hundreds of years?"

Listening to Xia Fan's inquiry, Xia Ya tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "It should be the continuation of the bloodline." ”

"That's right, so no matter how unreasonable my asking price is, as long as I can leave them a way to live, at least let their direct bloodline continue to multiply, then they will definitely agree. They are a family! Therefore, the interests of the family are above all else, and personal honor is not worth mentioning in front of the interests of the family. If the other party is a single person who feeds the whole family without starving, then my threat may be counterproductive, but the other party represents the survival of the entire family, then he must think more. ”

Xia Fan nodded, leaned back in his chair, and confidently continued: "Whether to bow your head and kneel down in order to continue to survive, or to face destruction and death with your head up, the choices that individuals and collectives will make are often completely opposite. ”

Xia Ya blinked and nodded slowly.

"There is a more important point, those wealthy families are the real top existence of the dynasty, even if I have to take away their eighty percent of the accumulation, so that in order to continue to maintain the continuation of the family, they have to disassemble a large number of the structure of the entire family, and in the end only the most core part can be left, but these things left behind will never be worse than the ordinary county mansion giants, and in this case of equal conditions, with the precipitation of the top families for hundreds of years, the probability of surpassing other county mansions and rising again is very large."

Xia Fan slowly closed his eyes and continued: "Unless the heirs of a certain family for several generations are bastards, it is possible to consume this precipitation. But for the real wealthy, the heirs cultivated for successive generations are bastards...... This kind of thing simply doesn't happen. ”

"Makes sense, but what about Your Majesty? Are you sure Your Majesty will let them go? I know your status in His Majesty's mind, and if you are really willing to come forward, then Your Majesty will definitely give you this face, even if he doesn't want to. But as a courtier, many things must be restrained after all, otherwise no matter how deep the relationship is, there will always be a day when it will fade. ”

Xia Ya said with some worry.

"Don't worry, in fact, Your Majesty never thought of exterminating these families. For this reason, he has even come up with a corresponding way to deal with it, he has recently been worried about how to let the families accept his ideas in peace, and as a result, these families have come to the door, let's push the boat down the river, just to put these wealthy families into a pit, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Xia Fan said with a smile.

Xia Ya opened his mouth, and then nodded with a wry smile: "So that's the case, if everything really goes well, then it will obviously have huge benefits for both the dynasty and our Xia family, but if Wu Zhongtian and the other wealthy families know the real situation afterwards, I am afraid that they will be directly angry." ”

"So, a lot of the time, ignorance...... Actually, it's a blessing. ”

Wu Zhongtian, who came out of the Xia family's mansion, got into the carriage waiting outside the Xia family's mansion for the first time, and then summoned all the family talkers involved in this matter again.

When Xia Fan's request came out of Wu Zhongtian's mouth, the scene was extremely strange and fell into silence.

There was no patriarch or elder of any family who was indignant enough to scold Xia Fan, and everyone fell into deep thought, as if they were quickly calculating the gains and losses.

Including Wu Zhongtian himself, he didn't have the indignant appearance that he had when he was in the Xia family's mansion, and he seemed to be calm as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

After a long period of silence, the final result was just as Xia Fan had guessed, all the families agreed to this seemingly incomparably excessive condition, without exception!

Even Wu Zhongtian himself, as the head of the Wu family, doesn't seem to have struggled much.

For these people, the continuation and inheritance of the family is always the most important thing, and under such a premise, any other issues are not important.

So three days later, when Peanut drove back to Kyoto Mansion from the Beast Wasteland, Wu Zhongtian also came to the door again, and then informed Xia Fan of the decision of the Xia family in the Xia family's house.

Xia Fan didn't say much, and after simply confirming some specific details with Wu Zhongtian, he directly took Ye Yi into the palace.

In the palace, Tong Qianguangyuan told in detail what happened and the final result.

After listening to this, Qian Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

The laughter was so loud that even the attendants who were standing far away from the palace because they had been held back could faintly hear it.

After laughing for a long time, Qian Guangyuan stopped, and then he didn't know whether it was out of sincerity or under the influence of excitement, he generously told Xia Fan that all the exploited family property of the family, except for thirty percent of the property returned to the treasury to make up for the loss of the war in the past few years, the rest were all given to the Xia family as a reward.

Naturally, Xia Fan refused without hesitation.

In the end, after some disputes, the amount set was for the royal family and the treasury to take seventy and a half of the eighty, and the remaining half to the Xia family.

Although it is only half of it, half of all the properties of the top families of dozens of dynasties are added together, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a wealth in the world!

Later, the two agreed on the specific details of the implementation of the family's products, and everything was agreed upon, and Xia Fan left the palace.
