When Zheng Haoran was carried to the old man, he was completely confused.

I haven't caused trouble yet!

I'm already lame!

In the conference hall, the old man of the Zheng family was silent with a dark face. Several clan elders either held high or sat by the side watching the fun with gloating.

There are only a part of the second generation of the Zheng family, and the rest are either in their hometown or outside.

The three generations of children of the same generation as Zheng Haoran came quite a lot, but they were not qualified to enter the conference hall at all. They could only wait for news outside quietly. If Zheng Haoran had not needed to go in and explain the problem, he would not have the qualification to go in.

"Grandpa, grandson, please give you my respect!" Zheng Haoran looked at the old man sitting in the main seat nervously, feeling fifteen buckets in his heart, very unsure.

"Xiao Haoran, tell my second grandpa if you arranged someone to do the work that cut off the Chang'an frosting supply. Well, don't think too much. The family has no plans to pursue this matter. To be honest, don't be burdened."

Zheng Ren, one of the elders of the Zheng family, did not look at his smile on his face when he spoke. He was also a cruel man who had competed for the position of head of the family with Zheng Haoran's grandfather. He smiled and conspired to plot. Whether it was against the clan members or outsiders, as long as someone threatened his interests, he would definitely do everything he could.

Although Zheng Haoran rarely contacted this second grandfather, he had heard of his name. He felt a sudden smile in his heart. He glanced at the old man who couldn't sit still and said hesitantly: "Second grandfather, is something wrong?"

"Nothing big happened, but the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, which was just established during this period, sold a large amount of frosting. Whether it is West or East, it will cost 150 cents.

Of course, this is just a small matter. What’s important is that just a few days ago, the Bandung Chamber of Commerce reached a cooperation with the Wang family of Taiyuan, Cui family of Qinghe, Li family of Zhaojun, and Feng Ann from Lingnan, and provided unlimited supply to these companies at a price of 100 ciders per kilo of frosting.

Xiao Haoran, do you have anything to say about this matter?”

Zheng Haoran's face turned pale in an instant, and he said in a lost voice: "How is this possible? Prince Chengqian sold frosting at a low price just to hurt others. The more he paid, the more he lost. Not to mention that he could not afford to lose such a large amount of goods, even if he could afford it, he would not have so many goods."

Crazy, it's crazy!

Zheng Haoran never expected that Li Chengqian's counterattack would be so fierce.

He did not take the news of the opening of the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce to heart, thinking that it was just a meaningless struggle made by Li Chengqian who could not let the royal family go without regard for it. Now it seems that this is not a meaningless struggle. It is clearly to eliminate the root cause and completely cut off part of the Zheng family's wealth.

"Is it impossible? Come, see what this is!" Zheng Ren's smile was closed and he handed two pieces of paper with words to Zheng Haoran: "The thing I showed you is called 'newspaper'. I heard that it was also something made by the prince. You can buy one for two cents. It is similar to the court newspaper, but the content on it is more messy, including national affairs, celebrities and strange stories."

Zheng Haoran did not listen to what his second grandfather said, and his full attention was already attracted by the so-called content in the newspaper.

[The Wanlong Chamber of Commerce reached cooperation with several families, and the price of Datang frosting plummeted.]

[Bandung Chamber of Commerce sets a national unified retail price of 200 documents for frosting]

[Shocked, two hundred pounds of frosting per pound was sold for 1,200 pounds. Is this a destruction of morality or a distortion of human nature!]

Zheng Haoran's face turned green when he saw it!

The first two articles are okay, but the last one is like stabbing the Zheng family!

After reading the general content in the newspaper, Zheng Haoran had lost the intention of competing with Li Chengqian. He said to the old man who had been silent and said: "Grandpa, this newspaper must not be left out. If someone sees it, our family will be finished."

"I have arranged for people to buy all the newspapers in this batch, with a total of 50,000 copies, which cost nearly 5,000 stag in the clan."

Finally, Lao Zheng spoke.

But the news revealed is a bit too sensational.

Zheng Dongxuan, who was born in the third room, frowned: "Five thousand guan? Didn't the second elder just say that this newspaper only costs two cents per copy, and 50,000 copies are enough, is it enough, right?"

Old Zheng's head drooped his eyelids and couldn't even look at his nephew who was stupid in reading: "The normal price is definitely like this, but how do you guarantee that they won't continue printing tomorrow? Five thousand guan is not the money to buy newspapers, but the money to buy out the news, and the hush money."

Zheng Ren and the second master Zheng coughed dryly and interrupted, "Brother, what we need to discuss now is not the news in the newspaper, but how to deal with the trouble Xiao Haoran caused this time. Now the clan family has been forced to a desperate situation. If you are not careful, the foundation left by our ancestors will probably be destroyed in the hands of our generation."

This is definitely an alarmist statement. The Zheng family is not a merchant family. Frosting is just an industry run by the family. If it is gone, it will be gone. What does it have to do with the ancestors?

Old Zheng'er glanced at Cui Ren lightly: "Second, you can't say that. When Xiao Haoran was doing things, don't tell me that you didn't receive any news. If you hadn't acquiesced to him to do this, even if he was the eldest son, he would not have the ability to transfer all the frostings in Chang'an."

"Haha, brother, are you blaming me for shirking responsibility?" Zheng Ren smiled like a thousand-year-old fox.

Old Zheng'er shook his head: "Haoran will never shirk responsibility for what he did. The money for buying news will be borne by the eldest son. The problem now is how to ease the relationship with the royal family.

Haoran, this incident started because of the conflict between you and the prince, so go and ask the prince to apologize. The Zheng family can not let go of the business of Tangerine, and the previous channels can also be handed over to the prince. If you cannot obtain understanding in this way, you will go back to your hometown in Xingyang to take care of your old age in the future."

Elderly care?

I'm less than twenty!

Zheng Haoran wailed in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey the old man's decision.

There is no way, this is the case with the family. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. For the future of the family, nothing cannot be sacrificed. In severe cases, even the life of the head of the family cannot be sacrificed.

"Yes, grandson understands." Assisting the humiliation in his heart, Zheng Haoran bowed short and showed a respectful expression on his face.

However…….

"Since my brother has made a decision, I should not question it, but whether it is too easy to deal with it is a major issue related to the rise and fall of the family. I am afraid that Xiao Haoran's identity cannot withstand it?"
