Chu Fan knew full well that in any era and any country, ordinary people always bore the heaviest burden. He didn't want to see the people's lives fall into even greater hardship due to a sudden change in policy after he completed his mission.
Therefore, Chu Fan made up his mind to establish a stable financial system for the people of Wei before he left. He hoped that this system could ensure the legitimacy and circulation of paper money, so that the economic prosperity could truly benefit every ordinary person.
However, this matter was not something Chu Fan could decide on his own. He knew that in order to achieve this goal, he had to have in-depth consultations and discussions with the elders of the royal family.
Chu Fan needed to win their support and understanding, ensuring that they could recognize the importance of this financial system. Only in this way could paper money maintain its legal status regardless of future emperor changes, ensuring that the interests of the people would not be harmed by policy changes.
Chu Fan chose to consult with the elders of the imperial family rather than the ministers at court because, in reality, the imperial family held the greatest power in the Wei Kingdom. Not only were the imperial family bound by ancestral precepts, but the elders were also extremely loyal to these precepts. Their support directly affected the emperor's decisions and attitude.
In fact, if the emperor's behavior was too extreme, the elders of the imperial family did have the power to depose the emperor. However, the position of court ministers was relatively fragile. They could face imprisonment at any time or even face the more severe punishment of having their property confiscated and their family exterminated for committing serious mistakes or crimes.
Even if there may be a situation in the future where the new emperor joins forces with the royal elders to not recognize paper money, that can only happen in the distant future, because the current royal elders are a group of "old stubborn people", and it is not easy to change their ideas. Chu Fan himself is not absolutely sure that the current royal elders can support his decision, let alone the future new emperor.
Chu Fan knew very well that in order to implement new policies among the royal family, especially subversive changes like paper currency, it would require not only the accumulation of time, but also in-depth communication and persuasion within the royal family, which was undoubtedly an arduous task.
Chu Fan also discovered during his observations over the past year that the Wei royal family elders were essentially Grandmaster-level warriors, their minds focused entirely on martial arts cultivation and their involvement in state affairs was relatively limited. However, precisely because of their dedicated pursuit of martial arts, they possessed a natural resistance to the allure of money and power, making them difficult to bribe.
This pure pursuit of martial arts, in turn, became a kind of protective umbrella for them, allowing them to maintain a certain degree of independence and impartiality in political struggles. Therefore, as long as Chu Fan could reach a consensus with the elders of the royal family, he would have enough confidence and assurance to consolidate and stabilize the paper currency system.
Mu Xi and the other women watched Chu Fan quietly as he stood there lost in thought for a long time. They chose not to disturb him at this time, but to wait patiently until Chu Fan came back to his senses.
However, because Mu Xi and the other women were so beautiful, the sight of a group of beautiful women surrounding a man quickly attracted the attention of passersby. As time went on, the crowd gradually grew, and the surrounding area began to be filled with whispers, one after another.
Chu Fan finally recovered from his shock. He looked around and noticed a group of curious onlookers gathered around him. Without hesitation, he immediately led Mu Xi and several other women and quickly entered the gate of the magnificent Royal Elegant Villa.
Fortunately, there were no irrational second-generation officials or wealthy people among the crowd. They were not foolish enough to provoke Chu Fan, nor were there any lechers trying to stop Mu Xi and the other women. Clearly, these onlookers maintained a certain degree of self-control and rationality.
Royal Yuya Villa is a gathering place for many food lovers and fortune seekers. Everyone comes here to enjoy exquisite food and seek opportunities to make a fortune. In this fiercely competitive world, one more enemy means you may lose a chance to survive.
Therefore, those who come here are no ordinary people. They know how to observe the situation and how to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflicts.
On this continent, a man actually brought so many women into the Royal Elegant Villa, a place accessible only to those who deposited 10,000 taels of silver. This was undoubtedly an extremely high-profile act. If he wasn't flaunting his wealth and status to the world, then there was absolutely no other possibility.
Just what kind of person would dare to act so brazenly in such a place where so many powerful people gather? Undoubtedly, only those with great power or special skills would have such courage. Neither of these types of people should be easily provoked; the slightest mistake could lead to fatal consequences.
Although the crowd was full of curiosity, they did not dare to act rashly. They could only watch from afar and secretly speculate in their hearts about the man's identity and background.
The moment Chu Fan stepped into the Royal Yuya Villa, royal family members who were responsible for managing a small part of the business in the Royal Yuya Villa came to greet him and showed him the highest respect.
The Royal Yuya Villa is not just a luxurious residence, it is also a special place. In addition to the royal family members in the management, it also gathers many royal children who do not have outstanding martial arts talents. They are responsible for the daily affairs of the villa.
Many of these royal children were originally marginal figures within the royal family, their status and influence not prominent within it. In the outside world, they might not even be as prosperous as the sons of wealthy merchants, but within the Royal Elegant Villa, they were able to maintain the dignity and pride of the royal family. Through their own efforts, they found their place and value within the villa, avoiding the label of "parasites" from the more martially gifted royal children.
All these changes were due to Chu Fan's arrangement. He gave these royal children the opportunity to come to the Royal Elegant Villa and manage the villa's properties. Now, many officials and wealthy businessmen who once looked down on them would show them courtesy and respect when they saw them, which allowed them to regain their dignity and confidence as human beings.
Of course, they also knew that all of this was bestowed upon them by Chu Fan's grace. Therefore, when they saw Chu Fan step into the Royal Elegant Villa, they immediately stepped forward respectfully, bowing and greeting him with a humble attitude. In their eyes, one could clearly feel their deep gratitude and immense admiration for Chu Fan.
However, Chu Fan himself was not aware of these details. His original intention in assigning members of the royal family to manage the villa's assets was simply to allow the younger generation of the royal family more opportunities to earn their own living, no longer relying on funds from the national treasury or Chu Fan's own inner treasury for their livelihoods, and thus achieving true self-reliance.
