The next day.

Suddenly, a union of workers appeared, composed of hired workers from Chang'an City. Their purpose was very simple. They hoped that the people of the world would care about the fate of these poor people who had no land and no one to support. They especially hoped that the court would Protect them and keep them from being bullied by those black-hearted landlords and rich people.

A wave of waves has risen again.

Immediately after the Workers' Union came the Farmers' Union.

The demands of the Farmers' Federation are simpler. They only hope that they can have enough food, and they also hope that the court can levy less taxes.

Immediately, Women's Federation, Children's Federation, Tailors' Federation, Cloth Federation... appeared one after another.

For a moment, Chang'an City became extremely lively.

Those who read the notice just saw a federation, and when they got home, they heard that a new federation had appeared before their buttocks were hot.

The Union, which appeared like rain, did not mention any pencils.

But so many federations popping up all at once completely muddies the waters.

The Rulin people were dumbfounded.

At first, they thought that the federation was not a good thing.

For example, the student unions that are against me, such as the businessmen's union, so while opposing the pencil, they also oppose the union.

Now, Chang'an City is full of federations, the big ones have several thousand people, and the small ones have only three or two people.

How can this be reversed?

They were stunned!

This is a fart!

The entire city of Chang'an was plunged into the ocean of the federation. They stood up and opposed the pencil, but no one believed it.

……

at the same time.

An invitation was sent to Duke Qi's mansion.

At that time, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were drinking tea.

Changsun Wuji opened the envelope and looked at it, his face suddenly became strange.

Gao Shilian asked curiously: "Why is the auxiliary machine like this?"

Changsun Wuji said strangely: "Uncle doesn't know something. This invitation was sent by Chen Chu. He specially invited me to meet at Da Da Da Restaurant in Chang'an this evening. He said that he wanted to invite me to eat chicken."

Gao Shilian frowned.

Then he said: "Auxiliary machine, that kid Chen Chu has nothing to do with you. Even, you are the most opposed to his pencil business this time. I'm afraid it's nothing good for him to treat you to chicken at this time."

Changsun Wuji nodded: "That's what I mean too, but if I don't go, Chen Chu really thinks I'm afraid of him, so I'll go meet him, so that he can know that my eldest grandson Wuji is clearly opposed to pencils , what can he do with me..."

In a blink of an eye, it was dusk.

Changsun Wuji dressed up in disguise, set off from the back door of Duke Qi's mansion in a low-key carriage, and quietly came to Chang'an Dada Restaurant.

He walked to the main hall of Chang'an Dada Dada Restaurant, just about to go upstairs quietly.

Suddenly, a figure approached him.

It was Cheng Chubi!

Cheng Chubi said loudly: "Oh, Master Changsun, you are here to find my uncle. My uncle Chen Chu is upstairs. He has been waiting for you for a long time, so I will take you up there!"

Ok?

People around turned their heads and stared at Changsun Wuji.

"Wow, it's really the eldest grandson!"

"Master Changsun actually came to Chen Chu's appointment? Don't they have a festival?"

"There must be a story in it!"

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

He gave Cheng Chubi a hard look.

He came here to act in a low-key manner, and he didn't want people to find out that he had anything to do with Chen Chu.

Well now, so many people know it.

With his popularity, within half a day, the whole Chang'an City must know about it.

He was so angry that he was about to turn around and leave, but Cheng Chubi grabbed his hand and said enthusiastically: "Master Changsun, upstairs please..."

With that said, he dragged him upstairs.

In the top room of the restaurant.

Changsun Wuji walked in, saw Chen Chu sitting alone at the other end of the table, and immediately said angrily, "Boy Chen, what do you want to do? You want everyone in Chang'an City to know that this old man is here to attend your appointment. What exactly do you want?" for?"

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Master Changsun, please be safe and don't be impatient. It was indeed my intention to invite you to the appointment, but when this happened, it really exceeded my expectations. I just asked Chu Bi to go downstairs to meet you." You didn't expect him to do such a thing, but you and my fourth brother have known each other for many years, so you must be very clear about the temper of the old Cheng family..."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

He looked back at Cheng Chubi.

Cheng Chubi kept smirking at him.

He is more than clear, it is too clear!

The members of the old Cheng family are all weak.

Chen Chu said: "Master Changsun, the past is over, don't think about these unhappy things."

Changsun Wuji looked at the empty table without even a cup of tea.

So he asked: "Aren't you going to invite me to eat chicken? Where's the chicken? Not even a cup of tea? What kind of guest are you inviting?"

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Master Changsun, don't worry, there will be chickens, there will be tea, but, before that, I have one thing that I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to do pencil business with you." Chen Chu said.

puff!

Changsun Wuji was taken aback suddenly, and asked, "Are you crazy? You know that I am the most against pencils, yet you still want to do business with me?"

Chen Chu nodded: "I am a stubborn person!"

"You think the old man will agree?" Changsun Wuji snorted, "This matter, the old man will not agree to you..."

Chen Chu said with a smile: "In the future, people in the entire Tang Dynasty will use pencils. If [-]% of the people in Tang Dynasty use pencils, how much do you calculate?"

Ok?

Changsun Wuji calculated carefully in his mind, and felt that it was not a simple account.

Because, this adult does not only use one pencil, but needs to change it frequently.

If the eldest grandson's family can be allowed to do this business, the profit must be very objective.

However, he looked at Chen Chu worriedly, feeling that something was wrong.

……

Chapter 180

Changsun Wuji is a suspicious person by nature.

This kind of personality makes him always think twice when facing huge temptations, instead of rushing forward.

Therefore, he looked at Chen Chu suspiciously, and asked: "Boy Chen, don't think that the old man doesn't know that once your pencil is used by everyone in the world, it will definitely make a lot of money. With such a good thing, you can think of the old man. ? This old man is neither your sworn brother nor your relative, why would you entrust such a good thing to this old man?"

Changsun Wuji was very confused.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "My lord grandson, since you have already talked about this, let me tell you the truth. The reason I came to you is because you have enough influence. You cooperated with me in the pencil business." , the price you have to pay is that the eldest grandson's family has to stand up and support the pencil."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback.

Sure enough, Chen Chu would not hand over the pencil so easily.

He hesitated.

During this period, the eldest grandson's family opposed the pencil most fiercely.

And now it is suddenly necessary to change its position and support the pencil.

What would others think?

What would Confucianism think?

People all over the world will think that the eldest grandson's family is the one who backtracks on what they say.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "Boy Chen, I'm afraid I will let you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Chu interrupted him.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Master Changsun, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I haven't finished my terms yet. I plan to use a new method for this cooperation. I can hand over the secret recipe for making pencils to the Changsun family. The eldest grandson Every time the family produces a pencil, just give me [-] Wen..."

Ok?

Changsun Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up.

According to the market price of pencils, two hundred cash a piece.

If this is the case, the eldest grandson's family will still leave 180 Wen.

Definitely get rich!

He hurriedly asked: "You mean, hand over the secret recipe of pencils to the eldest grandson's family? You're not in the pencil business anymore?"

Chen Chu waved his hand and said, "I'm very busy. As long as the eldest grandson's family is willing to bid [-] pennies to buy my pencil factory outside the city, I won't do any pencil business in the future. Every time I sell a pencil, I will give me two Ten words is enough..."

Changsun Wuji's heart suddenly moved.

In fact, he has longed for pencils for a long time.

When the pencil came out, Changsun Wuji also summoned the craftsmen in the house to ponder for a while, but unfortunately, a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted, and nothing was pondered clearly.

Now, Chen Chu wanted to hand over Fang Zi, so he naturally couldn't refuse.

The most important thing is that once the prescription is handed over, the future situation will not be under Chen Chu's control.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I promise you... today, I can deliver [-] guns. Don't lie to me."

Chen Chu chuckled: "Please don't worry, I, Chen Chu, am the one who keeps the promise, come on, let's make a written statement."

As he spoke, he took out the paper and began to write the contract.

Contract agreement:

One, Chen Chu sold the secret recipe of pencils and the pencil factory to the eldest grandson's family for a price of [-] guan.

Second, the eldest grandson's family will give Chen Chu twenty Wen for every pencil sold in the future.

Third, the eldest grandson's family must announce to the world within ten days that they support the pencil.

In fact, the content of the agreement is mainly the first two.

The third thing, even if Chen Chu didn't write it in the contract, Changsun Wuji would do it, after all, he was still counting on pencils to make money.

The contract is signed.

Chen Chu turned around with a smile and said to Cheng Chubi: "Chubi, Master Changsun is our friend now, serve tea quickly, serve good tea, and then go to the kitchen to urge them to serve food quickly, how can we make friends I'm hungry..."

Changsun Wuji stood up abruptly, tucked the contract into his sleeve, and hurried out: "Okay, boy Chen, I don't feel like eating right now. Another day, another day, I invite you to my house as a guest..."

With that said, he left without looking back.

Chen Chu said with emotion: "Master Changsun is very old, but his mentality is very young... You are in a hurry!"

……

The next day.

Someone discovered that in the wave of opposition to the pencil, the eldest grandson's family suddenly disappeared.

With the disappearance of the eldest grandson's family, many officials in the court also began to die down.

There are fewer and fewer people who oppose pencils.
