Chapter 1145 The Crisis and Opportunity of the Grandson's Family

In Zhao Guogong's mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji is discussing matters with his third son, eldest grandson Jun, and there are still several clan elders and stewards.

The content of the discussion is naturally the matter of Iron Bank being suppressed by Fang Jun.

Changsun Jun looked a little depressed, and carefully reported the latest accounts, sales and loss figures.

He was extremely confident in taking over the family.

In terms of status, he is the eldest son, and the eldest brother Sun Chong is now in exile, and his life and death are unknown, and even if His Majesty the Emperor's grace pardons the eldest Sun Chong one day, it is impossible to take over the entire family.The status of his elder Sun Jun is that of the eldest son, much more honorable than his elder brother Sun Huan who was a concubine.

After all, this is an era of "taking the heir as the heir"...

In terms of his father's status in his heart, he far surpassed Changsun Huan.

Otherwise, why would you entrust the iron line of the family pillar to yourself instead of the older and more experienced grandson Huan?
But now Tiehang is suppressed badly by Fang Jun, and he, the manager, can't shirk his responsibility no matter what.Iron Bank is losing money every day and every moment, not only losing a huge amount of money, but also the reputation and prestige that the eldest grandson's family has managed for generations...

Changsun Jun felt an urgent sense of crisis.

Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly, facing Fang Jun's suppression, even with his city and scheming, he felt helpless.

They don't have any tricks, just rely on the new method of iron smelting to greatly reduce the cost, and the quality is even better.This simple and crude price war is the most direct and effective.

If facing other people, Changsun Wuji can use his power to attack from other levels, but Fang Xuanling's status and power are not inferior to his own, and Fang Jun is even protected by His Majesty now, Changsun Wuji is also helpless think……

"Gao Jiashiro is still in the prison in Jingzhao Mansion?"

Zhangsun Wuji asked.

Changsun Jun was at a loss, wondering why his father interrupted this?He was beaten up by Fang Jun recently, how could he care about Gao Zhenxing's affairs?He turned to look at the steward next to him.

The steward said respectfully, "Going home to the Lord's words, yes."

Changsun Wuji was a little puzzled: "At least he is the son of Shen Guogong. It is too much to detain him for many days. What charges are given?"

The steward thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Probably what it is... despising the important officials of the court and endangering the safety of the empire?"

Changsun Jun said angrily: "Fang Er's stick is really messing around! Why don't you just behead him for a crime of treason? It's really abominable to humiliate people like this!"

The steward said: "No, some people have questioned this question. After all, this...crime of endangering the security of the empire is unprecedented. The explanation given by Fang Jun is: all crimes of endangering the security of the empire refer to the crime of endangering the sovereignty of the empire. , territorial integrity and security, acts of splitting the empire and subverting the imperial power. However, he said that Gao Shiro is just a suspect and is under trial. Everyone knows that he is fooling around, because Gao Shiro scolded him face to face, so no one is serious with him Son. Of course, he just humiliated Gao Silang. Although Gao Silang is locked in the prison these days, although he will not let anyone go, he eats delicious food, and he has never been tried for torture."

To put it bluntly, everyone in Chang'an knew that Fang Jun was just fighting against Gao Zhenxing again, and he didn't want to do anything to Gao Zhenxing. As for this charge and that charge, it was purely a joke with Gao Zhenxing, and naturally there was no abuse of power go up.

No one bothered to pay attention to the filthy mess among dudes...

Changsun Wuji was also a little disappointed.

He hoped that Fang Jun could not hold back his anger and toss Gao Zhenxing severely, then Fang Jun would surely give up the truth, and Gao Shilian, the Duke of Shen who has always been in aloof position, might also get mixed into this muddy water, and he would have more opportunities Fishing in troubled waters...

There is no room for Gao Zhenxing's manipulation, Changsun Wuji can only return to the topic again.

Fighting each other with bright swords and bright guns is the most annoying thing in Changsun Wuji's view. There is no technical content at all, so naturally there is no loophole to take advantage of...

After struggling for a while, Changsun Wuji could only helplessly say: "Go with Fang Jun. If he wants to lower the price, let him lower the price. Let's reduce the supply and make less compensation."

A steward hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, if this is the case... I am afraid that most of the old customers will turn to Fangjia to buy iron materials. This will have a great impact on our business. Please think twice."

If you reduce the supply, those customers can't get enough iron materials, so they will naturally change their doors to buy houses with cheaper prices and more abundant supplies.And once this kind of old customer for decades is gone, it will be difficult to turn back...

How could Changsun Wuji not know this truth?

Right now, he really can't think of a way to turn defeat into victory, and he doesn't have much energy to get involved in this kind of merchant breeding.

Money is the foundation of family development, but it is by no means the most important.

Political stance, that is the foundation of a family's survival.

Let's take a look at how the rich Shandong family was suppressed in the Zhenguan Dynasty?
The current political stance of the eldest grandson's family has already conflicted with His Majesty, and this is a deadlock.The position of the Guanlong Group cannot be changed, otherwise, after losing most of the benefits, everyone will be wiped out, and it will be difficult to maintain the status of the first-class gentry family; the emperor's position cannot be changed either. Suppressing the elite of the gentry, the throne is unstable.

Since the current political stance of the imperial court is not in line with the interests of the Guanlong Group, there is no choice but to establish a brand new political stance with the interests of the Guanlong Group at its core...

Of course, this process may be long and difficult, but for the Guanlong Group, there is no choice.

And when this brand-new political stance is established, the eldest grandson's family will inevitably rise and become one of the best families in the world!

Fang Jun?

Just crush him to death...

Changsun Wuji glanced around at everyone present, they were all the core members of the Changsun family, and he made a slight suggestion: "Come on, everyone, from today onwards, do things in a low-key manner, and swallow the loss. Rely on your courage, In the future, when the situation will rise again!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked!
For so many years, Changsun Wuji's behavior style has been deeply rooted in the hearts of these people, and they have a lot of understanding of his words and deeds.Just by looking at Changsun Wuji's words, one can tell that the Patriarch is planning something and will make a big move!

"promise!"

Everyone suddenly agreed.

The pressure in Changsun Jun's heart suddenly eased. Since his father was plotting something big, it must be about the struggle between the Guanlong Group and the imperial power.In comparison, the profits and losses of a mere iron bank are naturally insignificant, and even have the effect of showing weakness to the enemy...

Then those elders who are old and immortal can no longer blame him for the iron line.

There were footsteps outside the hall.

The hurried footsteps made Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, and when a servant came in from the door, he said in an unhappy tone: "Don't you know that you are discussing something? You are in a panic, what a shame!"

The servant hurriedly said: "I know I was wrong...it's just a matter of great importance, so I'm a little anxious."

Changsun Wuji asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant said: "Just now someone came from the palace and confessed something..."

Then he repeated the words that Wang De, the chief servant, sent to inform the emperor.

There was a moment of silence in the hall...

A clan elder with white beard and hair patted the tea table beside him and said excitedly: "Good fight! Liu Lang is worthy of being the son of the eldest grandson's family, he played well! That Fang Jun is really hateful, he is so arrogant and domineering all day long. The family is in the eye? Even Da Lang’s current experience, that guy can’t get away with it! Why didn’t Liu Lang beat him to death and vent his anger on Da Lang’s behalf!”

The rest are all silent.

Killed?

Before he was killed, the emperor's warning came.If you really beat him to death, do you think Liu Lang will not pay for his life?

Changsun Wuji was even more at a loss.

Once upon a time, he fought side by side with His Majesty Li Er and treated each other with sincerity, but now they are so estranged.

Is it because of interests, or did I really do something wrong?

Changsun Wuji had no answer.

Even if he had, he would still go the way he is now.

His power and status are not so much given by His Majesty the Emperor, but rather by the Guanlong Group.Without the strong support of the Guanlong Group, how could his eldest grandson Wuji stand out from the crowd of talented people around His Majesty Li Er?

Even now, if there is no Guanlong Group as his backing, will His Majesty Li Er still use him as much as he has always done?
Don't talk about feelings, in front of Chi Guoguo's interests, feelings are like a naked cousin, you can mess with it as you like...

It seems that there is no other way to go except that one.

Changsun Wuji sighed secretly, and asked casually, "Where is Liulang now?"
