The Chai family has been in bad luck recently!

This news is not a secret among the nobles of Chang'an City.

The Chai family's honey industry was impacted by Guanshishan Academy, but the impact was actually not very great.

However, the Chai family's whaling team and the caravan going out to sea for trade disappeared one after another, and the meaning behind it was extraordinary.

You must know that whale oil candles are one of the most important incomes of the Chai family, and the output of whale jerky is also very large. There is also the sea trade, although it goes to the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese country, it is not as profitable as Southeast Asia.

Generous, but the annual income is not a small amount.

Now all this income is gone!

This is no small matter.

It's like a white-collar worker with an annual salary of one million. When the company's business is in a downturn, you cancel his transportation subsidy, communication subsidy, catering subsidy, etc. The impact is actually not very big.

However, if you cancel his performance pay and bonus, or even lower his basic salary, the impact will be huge.

Every family has its own fixed expenses. Once the income cannot cover the expenses, it won't matter in the short term, but it will definitely not work in the long term.

Although the Chai family is a large family, they also support many people.

This family's income suddenly dropped by 60 to 70%. Who can bear it?

"Brother, let me tell you, there is no need to investigate anymore. These things must have been done by Li Kuan, and only he has the strength to do such things quietly. Don't let me catch him, otherwise

I will definitely impeach him in front of His Majesty."

Chai Lingwu stood beside Chai Zhewei very angrily.

During this time, he was also under a lot of pressure.

In the past, whether he went to Wuheju or Diandude, he was greeted with all kinds of flattering smiles.

Nowadays, he always feels like someone is pointing fingers behind his back.

He really couldn't accept this kind of gap.

"I've told you a long time ago that not everyone in Chang'an City can be offended by our Chai family. Now that Aye and Aniang are both dead, our Chai family is not as prosperous as it was back then. We want to see us unlucky.

There are many people in Guanshishan Academy. In my opinion, you still have to find time to visit and apologize to the students who beat them. By the way, you can donate a laboratory building to express the sincerity of our Chai family.

Already."

As the head of the Chai family, Chai Zhewei still has some vision and courage.

However, it is obvious that Chai Lingwu's vision and mind are not even a bit like his brother's.

"Brother, I admit that it was my fault for beating up the students at Guanshishan Academy, but they have already taken revenge? Now the Prince of Chu's Palace has come to bully them. Instead of resisting, we are going to apologize to them? This

I can’t do it!”

Chai Lingwu was very angry after hearing what his elder brother said.

He has never been so depressed since he was a child.

Even as Li Chengqian's followers, the relationship between them is not like that of superiors and subordinates, but more like a cooperative relationship.

Now that the Chai family has been bullied by the Chu Palace, do you still want to apologize?

Is there any more heavenly justice?

He didn't even think about it, how many people had been bullied by him and wanted to apologize?

"Resist? How can you resist? In the entire Tang Dynasty, as long as you want to go abroad to make money, the Prince of Chu's Palace is an existence that cannot be offended. Otherwise, no matter how much you go out, you will be beaten by a meat bun and you will never come back.

Besides, the business in Chang'an City is being wiped out. There are several industries that are not involved in the Chu Palace. How many nobles are making money behind the Chu Palace? Now if you go against the Chu Palace, you are against them.

If our Chai family wants to remain strong, we must not go against the trend."

Chai Zhewei had a look of hatred on his face, expressing his helplessness towards his younger brother.

Not to mention that he caused trouble every now and then, but he just didn't approve of hugging Li Chengqian's lap so early.

To put it bluntly, with the Chai family's position in the Tang Dynasty, he could remain neutral in the fight for the crown prince. No matter who ascended the throne, he would not be in trouble with them.

After all, Princess Pingyang made great achievements against the Tang Dynasty.

To a certain extent, half of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by her.

If she hadn't been a woman, she might have been the one to sit on the throne.

As the son of Princess Pingyang, Chai Zhewei is not worried about the future of his family at all.

However, with the addition of a troubled younger brother, everything becomes more variable.

"But, should we just forget it? What will the nobles of Chang'an City think of our family?"

Chai Lingwu also knew that what his elder brother said was reasonable, but he couldn't swallow the anger in his heart.

"In the past few years, the Prince of Chu's Mansion has attracted many people to make money behind him, but it has also offended many people. I guess Li Kuan was just trying to scare the monkeys, and you bumped into him? Our Chai family has a big business, and in the

Chang'an City is famous, but now is the time when the family is at its weakest. If we were caught and killed as chickens, wouldn't the effect be leveraged? You don't have to consider what other distinguished nobles will think of our family now, but you have to consider

If this continues, what will our family look like?"

As if to confirm what Chai Zhewei said, housekeeper Ma Feng walked in from outside.

"Uncle Ma, what happened?"

The two brothers were obviously talking about something. If there was nothing urgent, Ma Feng would definitely not come to disturb them.

There is still a tacit understanding between master and servant.

"Dalang, there is something I want to report to you."

Ma Feng glanced at Chai Lingwu with a complex expression, then cupped his hands and spoke to Chai Zhewei.

Hearing what Ma Feng said, Chai Zhewei's heart made an inexplicable "thump" sound.

The Chai family has received all kinds of bad news one after another recently. Could it be that this matter is not over yet?

"What's up?"

Chai Zhewei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

At this time, no matter what happens, I, the head of the family, must not panic.

Otherwise, the Chai family may really fall into a desperate situation.

Don't think that Li Shimin will help at that time. You must know that the marriage between Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao is not actually a happy one.

It just so happened that Li Shimin had a very good relationship with this sister, and they knew more about many things on the opposite side than others.

So he actually felt a little resentful toward the Chai family.

Of course, no matter what, the Chai family is his sister's husband's family, so Li Shimin would not do anything like the Chai family.

However, at the critical moment, he may not necessarily deal with his own son for the sake of the Chai family.

"A new inn has opened in Chang'an City."

"Home Inn?"

After hearing what the wasp said, Chai Zhewei breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a big deal that a few new inns are not allowed to be opened in Chang'an City.
