The arrival of the small money fan delayed Huang An's plan to deal with other aristocratic families in the city to a certain extent.
Of course, it was only postponed for two days.
Not counting the master's family, there are a total of fifteen families in Feng'an City, who are eligible to be classified as aristocratic families by Huang An.
In addition to the Li family, there are still fourteen families left.
These fourteen families, large and small, are distributed in various relatively prosperous neighborhoods in the city.
Preliminary estimates of family members, including the hidden members of the family, range in number from 5,000 to 500.
It may not seem like much, but the total number exceeds 30,000.
Huang An estimated that the total population involved might be on the order of about 40,000 people.
Of course, the range of people included here is really too broad.
To simplify things a bit, among the fourteen families, the number of core members who need to be focused on should be about five thousand.
Counting the other miscellaneous people supported by these families, the total number will reach 30,000 to 40,000.
It is impossible to control so many people at once with the current manpower alone.
After all, these aristocratic families are scattered throughout the city, and there are also many assets and clan members outside the city.
What's more important is what happened to the Li family who were caught without mercy. These family members can be said to have a clean family.
The blood of the Li family has been shed on them.
With such lessons learned, they will inevitably unite and organize people to resist.
To catch them all at once, it would take 100,000 people.
And what Huang An has on hand right now that can be used is less than a thousand people.
Of course, if people from other teams such as the engineering team are included, there would be 17,800 available people.
But this number of people is still stretched thin and far from enough when faced with members of fourteen aristocratic families.
Moreover, farmers who have not undergone professional training and mental and physical transformation are just farmers.
Their bodies are too weak and they have no energy, so they cannot play any role in it, and may even be held back.
The limitations of the peasant class are not just talk.
Therefore, under such harsh conditions, all Huang An has to do is to encroach step by step.
Using the method of boiling frogs in warm water, step by step, drag all the aristocratic families in Feng'an City into the abyss.
Finally, the final word is given to establish victory!
Some people in the engineering team and the inspection team have already demonstrated their talents in the process of work.
Among the children from poor families, there are also capable people.
What they lack is just an opportunity and a platform to showcase their abilities.
Now, Huang An has given them this large and inclusive platform.
And the capable people among them quickly stood out.
These people were directly taken away by Zhao Yan and filled into the yamen of the city lord's mansion and became public officials.
The most important thing is that there is a shortage of people in Senior Sister Zhao's City Lord's Mansion.
All the major government agencies are still empty.
But there are many official matters that cannot be delayed.
Faced with Senior Sister Zhao's domineering behavior, Huang An couldn't laugh or cry.
He and Senior Sister Zhao knew each other, and they couldn't ask for it back. Instead, they transferred twenty-two more people to Senior Sister Zhao to help.
As for Huang An, he could only select some manpower from within the city.
There are more than 230 people from poor families in the city.
The number of children from poor families who go to Meng Yun of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School to sign up and leave their information is constantly increasing.
About seventy or eighty people were transferred, and the remaining ones each held multiple positions, so they were a bit busy.
However, the management talents under him also increased rapidly after simple training, but they were barely enough.
So far, Zhao Yan has not allowed officials in the city to enter the city lord's palace for normal work.
Even though these people requested many times, they still did not relent.
For a time, the heads of the major families in the city were all panic-stricken.
Now, they no longer understand why Zhao Yan and Huang An are not allowed to return to their posts.
And this is the breaking point for Huang An to eradicate the aristocratic families in the city.
He decided to take advantage of the two existing conditions, implement a small plan, and then invite you to enter the urn.
In this way, they are slowly dragged into the abyss of destruction.
Therefore, at noon the next day after settling Xiaocaimi and Xiaocao, Huang An took Chen Yu directly to the city lord's palace to meet Zhao Yan.
Let Chen Yu stay outside the courtyard and prohibit anyone from entering.
The senior sister and brother entered the house directly and had a detailed discussion.
"Let's do this first...and then...finally..."
After speaking in one breath, Huang An picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
Then, he asked expectantly:
"do you understand?"
Zhao Yan did not answer directly. He seemed to be still thinking and hesitating.
"Is this really good?"
Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted, which made her look particularly beautiful.
Her thin lips parted slightly, and she gave a tangled warning:
"If your reputation for being unfaithful spreads, it will have a great impact on you, junior brother."
Zhao Yan didn't ask Huang An if he could be sure of success. She was concerned about the junior brother's dangerous method of making military moves, which would eventually ruin his reputation.
She believed that the strategy given by her junior brother would definitely work.
However, in her eyes, the price of success is too high.
Very serious consequences.
Junior brother's reputation must not be stained by any dirty things like dishonesty.
Huang An naturally knows how caring Senior Sister Zhao is, and also knows the importance of a good reputation.
But since ancient times, the good reputation of a successful king or a defeated enemy is not as shallow as the literal meaning.
History is like a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.
The same goes for a good reputation.
Huang An is not very good at manipulating public opinion.
But that is also compared to the professional media teams back home.
For Zhao Yan and the people in the city, and even the entire world, Huang An's method of controlling public opinion should be unique.
It is a dimensionality reduction attack.
If that doesn't work, wouldn't Chao Mu and the others still be behind to make suggestions?
In Huang An's view, a good reputation is easy to obtain.
As long as there are no problems in the general direction and it can bring huge benefits to the people, then the people will be surprisingly tolerant when it comes to some detailed issues.
"This plan only targets the aristocratic families in the city, but will benefit the ordinary people in the city. Even if they could know that I planned this incident, they would praise me for my endless cleverness, and not some villain who can't keep his word!
"
Huang An's eyes were burning and he was not moved at all.
Seeing that Senior Sister Zhao didn't seem to understand, he added another sentence.
"The difference between cunning and wisdom is just a matter of perspective."
After saying this, Huang An knew that Senior Sister Zhao was always smart and she would definitely understand what he meant.
Zhao Yan had no intention of refuting anymore.
She immediately pondered for a moment, and then her eyes flashed, her dark eyes full of expectation and admiration.
She really understood, and she responded very quickly.
"In that case, I will take part in this matter, and you don't need to participate now. How about you wait until the net is finally closed, and then you take action?"
"The two of us work in tandem and do not appear in front of these aristocratic families at the same time, so that the bad impact can be minimized."
Her eyes are shining.
He came up with a solution that Huang An had not considered.
