Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

All of them are dressed in brocade clothes, and their faces are full of greasy food.

Not at all like the people in the village.

You know, when these guys ran out, they were all wearing patched clothes, and some of them didn't even have shoes.

But now, it looks radiant.

The villagers were stunned?

Could it be that mud can really make a fortune?

Crash.

The villagers immediately went up, surrounded Xue Rengui and others, and asked about the mud.

Xue Rengui said, "Let them tell everyone how mud is sold in Chang'an City..."

As he spoke, he pushed through the crowd, came outside, grabbed the woman's hand, and said, "Lady, you've worked hard..."

The woman resisted the urge to shed tears, and pursed her lips and said, "Da Lang, I am a woman, so where can I work so hard, but you, it is really hard work to go all the way to Chang'an..."

Xue Rengui said happily: "Lady, I will never make you suffer again. The mud in our village can really be sold for money, and it is also very valuable. Chen Chu said that when we make money in the future, we can also move there. Living in Chang'an City..."

Xue Rengui hurried home with his wife on horseback.

Don't beat the newlyweds!

The two returned to the house, but they did not take off their clothes, but greeted each other.

Xue Rengui recounted everything he saw and heard in Chang'an City.

Hearing this, his wife couldn't help but said happily: "Dalang, you are a person of noble character. You did the right thing. Although Chen Chu may not harm you, you have practiced martial arts since childhood and are familiar with military books." , you should be a man of indomitable spirit, and that is your future path..."

Xue Rengui immediately looked embarrassed, and said, "My lady, actually... I have already planned to agree to Chen Chu to be his bodyguard."

"what?"

The woman looked surprised.

……

Chapter 178

The woman looked at Xue Rengui in a daze, and asked, "Dalang, why? Have you forgotten the original oath? Have you forgotten the teaching of the master?"

Xue Rengui didn't speak.

He turned around and went to the yard, took down many things from a carriage, and placed them on the table in the house.

There are fine silks!

There are robes already made!

There are also many delicacies and antiques.

The originally shabby home suddenly became shining.

The woman was stunned and asked, "Da Lang, what is this?"

Xue Rengui said: "Don't worry, lady, these are all free of money. They were given by Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng's name is Cheng Chubi. He is the son of Lu Guogong and the general of the left leader. He is bold and has nothing to do with me." Friends who don’t talk about it... My lady, on the way back from Chang’an, I have already figured it out. I have not forgotten the vows I made at the beginning, nor have I forgotten the teachings of Master, but right now, we can actually live better. When we have money in the future Now, if I can live in Chang'an, I will naturally fulfill my original promise..."

"Dalang..."

"My lady, I have made up my mind."

Xue Rengui said.

This is his deliberate decision.

Along the way, he has been taken care of by Cheng Chubi.

At the beginning, he could still maintain his inner concentration.

Later, he fell completely, and suddenly realized that it is better to live with money!

When you have money, you can eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, and no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold on the way.

The most important thing is that Xue Rengui decided that he can no longer let his wife suffer with him.

Therefore, he made this difficult decision.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xue nodded her head: "Since Da Lang has already made a decision, then I can't say anything..."

Xue Rengui asked happily: "You don't blame me?"

Mrs. Xue shook her head: "How can I blame you?"

Xue Rengui took the other party's hand: "Lady, let's rest!"

……

Xue Rengui is completely famous.

It's not because he's skilled in martial arts, nor is it because he has a beautiful wife.

Instead, the news he brought back from Chang'an shocked the whole village.

On the same day, Cheng Chubi led his people to build a clay field behind the village, processed the clay briefly, and then transported it to Chang'an City.

The clay field requires a large number of workers.

All the people in the village can go to work, and each person pays ten Wen a day.

In Chang'an City, ten Wen is nothing, because the price is high.

But in this remote place, ten pennies is already a huge sum of money.

Therefore, the villagers joined the clay field one after another.

Three days later, the first batch of clay was processed and shipped to Chang'an.

Cheng Chubi left behind a few capable men and rushed to Chang'an with Xue Rengui and others.

Xue Rengui had already made up his mind to settle down in Chang'an City, so he brought his wife with him.

……

Chang'an City.

The Taoist sect suddenly died down.

Confucian Shilin seemed to seize the opportunity and began to fight back.

On the eighth day of Guangchu, the Taoists were inside and outside Chang'an City, and there were more than a dozen Taoist priests who were doing the practice, but many scholars broke in and dismantled them, which directly led to the closure of these Taoist temples.

Of course, it was the pencil that was on the cusp.

The literati of the Confucian school, seeing that there was no movement in the Taoist school, began to turn their pencils again.

The limelight is even stronger than before.

Even, even many big households have come to an end.

The Changsun family, the Wang family, and the Chen family have all become the most powerful vanguards against pencils.

On a snowy night.

Chang'an City.

East City.

a yard.

The firewood was beeping and beeping.

Dozens of people stood around it.

The burning flames completely illuminated the surroundings, compared with the light of candles and lanterns.

A young man in brocade stood in the middle of the crowd. He glanced at the crowd and asked, "Those stupid people think that this pencil is an evil weapon. Do you believe it?"

"Ha ha……"

The people present roared with laughter.

Then everyone shook their heads.

The young man said: "The benefits of pencils are self-evident. We are all businessmen who travel all over the world. We have been traveling for many years, sometimes in the south of the Yangtze River, sometimes in the Western Regions, sometimes in the desert, and sometimes in the wilderness. It is very inconvenient to use a writing brush when recording or calculating accounts with a pen, such as in rainy days, such as in a dry desert, but the pencil is different, it can be used anywhere, and it is easy to carry. One person sets off from Chang’an City to Jiangnan and takes it with him. One or two pencils are enough... But now, those literati can't even tolerate this, they even attack pencils as evil weapons, and want to make the world have no pencils to use! Can everyone bear it?"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

The crowd raised their fists angrily and said.

The young man said again: "You are all people of insight. Compared with those literati, we have one shoulder and two heads. Why do they have to rank in front of us? What kind of nonsense farmers and businessmen? According to me, we are waiting for you. The contributions made by Datang are no more than their scholars. Why are they ranked at the top? Let me say that all people are born equal, and no one is superior... Now, there are thousands of people in the Student Union, fighting against those people In order to fight for our own rights, Taoist sects all over the world have gathered to fight against the Confucian sect, so as not to allow the Confucian sect to dominate, how can we merchants sit idly by?"

Everyone looked at the young man, their eyes were red.

Someone asked: "What should we do?"

The young man said: "It's really simple. What we want to do has already been done by someone, that is, the group of students who are not deeply involved in the world. They can set up a student union. Why can't we set up the Chang'an Merchants Union? They are fighting for themselves. We can also fight for our own rights and interests, regardless of the outcome, at least let the whole world see that we merchants are not cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death."

"exactly……"

"Compared with those literati, we are not bad at all!"

"Besides, His Majesty is wise and powerful today. The Student Union has been making trouble in Chang'an City for half a month, and the court has not seen how to punish it. Why don't we take this opportunity and let them see that we businessmen are not cowards."

People were outraged.

said in succession.

Those present were all businessmen with reputation in Chang'an City but no money or power.

The longing for power that they had been hiding in their hearts for a long time finally couldn't be suppressed.

Seeing this, the young man said loudly: "Everyone, you might as well go back now and make good preparations for this matter."

Everyone nodded and left one after another.

In the end, only a few figures remained in the yard.

The young man tore off his disheveled wig, revealing an extremely handsome face.

It was Chen Chu!

The people next to him were Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Chumo.

Yuan Tiangang asked worriedly: "Brother, is there really nothing wrong with this? Let's forget about the Student Union, they are all a group of children, but the Merchant Union involves merchants, I'm afraid His Majesty will not be able to resist killing people."

Chen Chu said with a smile: "In the past, it's hard to say, but this time, I can ensure that they are all right, Lao Yuan, don't worry, I will not do things that I am not sure about."

……

Chapter 179

The next day.

Many merchants in Chang'an City suddenly gathered together and announced the establishment of the Chang'an Merchants Federation.

The charter of the Merchant Federation is completely imitated by the Student Federation.

However, businessmen are still timid after all, and dare not openly say that they want to fight for their rights and the like.

It's just that business people help each other.

Then, the Merchant Federation started spreading the word that pencils are not evil.

There are also merchants who wrote a memorial and sent it to the palace in the name of the Merchants Association, hoping that His Majesty Li Er will give the pencil a justice.

Less than a few hours after the Merchant Federation appeared, the Daomen began to move.

They hibernate for a while, and they are holding their breath in their hearts.

The Daomen moved upon hearing the news, collected evidence everywhere, and went to Jingzhao Mansion to report that many officials in the court were corrupt, accepted bribes, and oppressed the people.

He also reported that many scribes who had always been famous although they did not hold official positions in the court were just trying to gain fame without any real talent or learning.

In just one day, dozens of prominent scribes were dragged into the water.

Confucianism suffered heavy losses.

And this is not the end.
