Chapter 617: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Yuelai Inn is not the top inn in Chang'an City.
Compared to food, it is not as good as Wuheju, Diandude and Ajinomote.
Compared with the beauty, it is not as good as Tianxiang Pavilion, Yihong Mansion and Baixiang Pavilion.
Compared with the accommodation conditions, it is not as good as the various liquor inns that have been newly opened in recent years.
However, it is a banner of Datang's accommodation industry.
The branches of Yuelai Inn are all over the state capitals of Datang and have a huge influence.
Moreover, the geographical location of each Yuelai Inn is good, and the area is relatively wide.
The most important thing is that the comprehensive competitiveness of Yuelai Inn is relatively strong, eating, drinking and having fun can basically be solved in it, and many scholars who go to Beijing to take the exam will rent rooms in Yuelai Inn for a long time.
Nowadays, for the Chai family, which has less income from going to sea and whale oil candles, as well as a large reduction in honey income, the significance of Yuelai Inn has become a little greater.
To put it mildly, Yuelai Inn is now the core industry of the Chai family.
If something happens to Yuelai Inn, the Chai family will really go downhill, and it will definitely be a situation where they can't make ends meet.
Moreover, it is estimated that this situation will not be reversed in a short period of time.
"Da Lang, some time ago, the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn reported that just opposite their inn, there were several courtyards that were bought, and they have been surrounded and renovated since then. At that time, the subordinates were still thinking about who was so big and spent a lot of money to build a big yard. Now the mystery has been revealed, this big courtyard is the first branch of Home Inn in Datang. ”
Ma Feng was talking to Chai Zhewei with a complicated face.
The significance of Yuelai Inn to the Chai family, Chai Zhewei knows, and he Ma Feng is naturally more clear.
If there was a simple inn opposite the Yuelai Inn, he wouldn't be so nervous.
After all, Yuelai Inn has been standing in Datang for so many years, and it is not a vegetarian.
All kinds of competition, not unprecedented.
He didn't think a new inn would pose any threat.
However, when he knew that this inn was the property of the Chu Prince's Mansion, he didn't think so.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, which is almost universally recognized.
Today's Li Kuan, in the eyes of Xungui, is much more famous than the first genius in Chang'an City.
After all, no one is going to have trouble with real money.
"This inn is open opposite our Yuelai Inn, isn't it clear that you can't get along with our Chai family? Uncle Ma, have you found out whose property this inn is? ”
Chai Lingwu felt that his lungs were about to explode.
During this time, how much did the Chai family suffer?
Now that cats and dogs think they can run to the Chai family, and pee?
"It won't be from the Chu Palace, right?"
Chai Zhewei looked at the hornet with a nervous expression.
Now, what he is most afraid of is hearing the news that it has something to do with the Chu Palace.
If he had known that Li Kuan would use the Chai family as a "chicken" to kill, when Chai Lingwu's guards beat the students of Guanshishan Academy, he would have turned big things into small things, and small things turned into nothing in person.
Where will we wait for today's situation?
"Da Lang, this Rujia inn is personally run by Wang Fugui, and it is definitely the property of the Chu Palace."
As soon as Ma Feng said this, the lobby fell into a brief silence.
Even Chai Lingwu, whose mind has always been not bright enough, doesn't have the strength to lose his temper there.
At this time, he also knew that he had caused big trouble for the family.
Just now, his eldest brother asked him to go to Guanshishan Academy to apologize, and he felt that this extra move would damage the face of the Chai family.
Now it seems that if you continue to resist the Chu Wangfu, there may be some future moves waiting for the Chai family.
"Uncle Ma, prepare the horse, prepare a generous gift, I will personally go to the Chu Palace!" Please net
Being bullied like this, Chai Zhewei also wanted to be tough.
However, in the adult world, how can there be so much anger?
In the face of reality, everything has to give way.
……
Du He returned to Chang'an.
After staying in Lingnan for almost a year, he is a little more mature than before.
This year, he wasted no time either.
The Du family's sugarcane field in Panyu County is now considered a small scale.
Although there is no way to compare with the Chu Wangfu, the Cheng family, and the Fang family, it can be regarded as a top ten existence.
Now these sugarcanes have been refined into frosting, and they came to Chang'an City with Du He.
Cotton planting and sugarcane planting, two industries that were not originally involved in Du Province, are expected to become the new economic pillars of Du Province.
So after listening to Du He's report, Du Wei also had a rare smile on his face.
The decision I made at the beginning seems to be completely correct now.
You know, he is actually under a lot of pressure.
Don't look at the Du family in Guanzhong, they are also considered to be a top family, but they took out tens of thousands of dollars in one go to invest in cotton planting in Hedong Province, and took out tens of thousands of dollars to engage in sugarcane planting in Lingnan.
This crazy approach, in fact, there are many objections within the Du family.
"Big brother, during the time I was not in Chang'an, did anything major happen?"
Du He, who had a somewhat dark complexion, was also relieved to see the smile on his eldest brother's face.
"If you want to talk about things, you can't finish it for three days and three nights. However, in the recent past, the affairs of the Chai family are the ones that everyone is most concerned about. ”
Du conceived about what happened to the Chai family in the past few months, and he was concerned.
If Du He hadn't been sent to Lingnan by himself, maybe Du He would have been another Chai Lingwu.
These two guys are both pit brothers!
At this moment, Du Wei was particularly able to understand Chai Zhewei's feelings.
"The Chai family? Did something happen to Ling Wu's family? ”
Chai Lingwu and Du He are like a green dragon and a white tiger, and they often haunt Li Chengqian, and Du He's relationship with him is naturally not bad.
Although this is not bad, maybe with a quotation mark, but after all, it is a friend.
So when he heard Du Wei say this, Du He was also very curious and a little concerned.
"It's nothing, it's nothing more than that Chai Lingwu, not only the sky is high and the earth is thick, but it has provoked the Chu Wangfu. However, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was trying to find a weighty family and pull it out to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so the Chai family was unlucky during this time. First of all, several of Chai Lingwu's guards were killed and injured by the runaway carriage one after another, and then the business of the Chai family's honey shop was about to be untenable.
If that's all there is to it, it's nothing. What frightened the Chai family the most was that their whaling team and sea trade caravan went, all of them were missing! ”
"Missing?"
"That's right, missing! There was no news at all. ”
"This ...... All of this was done by His Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”
Du He suddenly felt a little scared.
He didn't mess with Li Kuan before.
"Who knows. Do you think that's the end of it? Just a few days ago, the Chai family's core industry, Yuelai Inn, also ushered in its biggest opponent. The Chu Wangfu opened a completely different inn opposite the Yuelai Inn, called the Home Inn Inn. ”
"This ...... Is this going to deal with the Joy Inn? ”
Duhe suddenly worries about his friend.
In business, no one is Li Kuan's opponent.
