Chapter 179 The world is a federation
The next day.
Many merchants in Chang'an City suddenly gathered together and announced the establishment of the Chang'an Merchant Federation.
The charter of the Merchant Federation is completely imitating the Student Federation.
However, businessmen are still timid after all, and dare not openly say that they want to fight for rights or something.
It's just that the businessmen help each other.
Then, the Federation of Merchants began to promote everywhere, saying that pencils are not evil things.
Some merchants wrote memorials and sent them to the palace in the name of the Merchant Federation, hoping that His Majesty Li Er would give him justice to the pencil today.
Less than a few hours after the Merchant Federation appeared, the Taoist sect began to move.
They were dormant for a while and were holding their breath in their hearts.
The Taoist sect moved when they heard the news, collected evidence everywhere, and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report many officials in the court to embezzle and accept bribes and oppress the people.
He also reported that many scholars who did not hold official positions in the court, but had always been famous, were seeking fame and had no real talent and knowledge.
In just one day, dozens of well-known scholars were pulled into the water.
The Confucian Party suffered heavy losses at once.
And this is not the end.
The next day.
Suddenly a workers' union appeared, composed of workers from Chang'an City. The purpose they promoted was very simple, which was to hope that people all over the world could care about the fate of poor people who had no land and were wandering and helpless, and especially hope that the court could protect them and prevent them from being bullied by those unscrupulous landlords and wealthy people.
One wave has not yet settled and another wave has started again.
Immediately after the Workers' Federation, a Farmers' Federation appeared.
The Peasants Federation's demands are simpler, and they only hope that they can have enough food and hope that the court can collect less taxes.
Immediately, the Women's Federation, Children's Federation, Tailors Federation, and Cloth Federation... all appeared one after another.
For a moment, Chang'an City became extremely lively.
The person who was reading the notice just saw a union and returned home. Before he could sit down, he heard a new union appeared.
This union, which appeared like raining, did not mention any pencils.
But so many unions emerged at once, completely mixing the water.
The scholars were stunned.
At first, they thought the union was not a good thing.
For example, the student union, such as the Merchant Union, is against the pencil, and also against the union.
Now, the whole city of Chang'an is full of union, with thousands of people, and the smallest being only three or two people.
How can this be reversed?
They were confused!
This is a big deal!
The entire Chang'an City was trapped in the ocean of the Federation. They stood up to turn their pencils, but no one believed them.
...
at the same time.
An invitation was sent to the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
At that time, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were drinking tea.
Changsun Wuji opened the envelope and looked at it, and his face suddenly became strange.
Gao Shilian asked curiously: "Why does the auxiliary machine look like this?"
Changsun Wuji said strangely: "My uncle doesn't know that this invitation was sent by Chen Chu. I specially asked me to meet at a big restaurant in Chang'an at dusk today, saying that I wanted to treat me to chicken."
Gao Shilian frowned.
Then he said, "Auxiliary machine, that boy Chen Chu has no relationship with you. Even this time, you are still most opposed to his pencil business. He invites you to eat chicken at this time, but I'm afraid there is nothing good."
Changsun Wuji nodded: "I mean that, but if I don't go, Chen Chu really thinks I'm afraid of him, so I will go and meet him so that he can know that Changsun Wuji is a clear-cut opposition to pencils. What can he do to me..."
It was dusk in a blink of an eye.
Changsun Wuji disguised himself as he rode a low-key carriage, set out from the back door of the Duke of Qi's mansion, and quietly arrived at the big restaurant in Chang'an.
He walked to the main hall of the big restaurant in Chang'an and was about to quietly go upstairs.
But a figure suddenly came up.
It’s Cheng Chubi!
Cheng Chubi said loudly: "Oh, Lord Changsun, you are here to find my uncle. My uncle Chen Chu is right upstairs. He has been waiting for you for a long time. I will take you up!"
Um?
The people around him turned their heads and stared at Changsun Wuji.
"Wow, it's really Lord Changsun!"
"Mr. Changsun actually came to Chen Chu's appointment? Didn't they have a holiday?"
"There must be some story in this!"
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he almost fainted when he heard this.
He glared at Cheng Chubi fiercely.
He came here to act in a low-key manner and did not want people to find out what he had to do with Chen Chu.
Now, so many people know.
With his popularity, within a short period of time, the whole city of Chang'an must have known it.
He was so angry that he was about to turn around and leave, but Cheng Chubi grabbed his hand and said enthusiastically: "Sir Changsun, please go upstairs..."
As he said that, he pulled him upstairs.
In a room on the top of the restaurant.
Changsun Wuji walked in and saw Chen Chu sitting alone at the other end of the table. He immediately said angrily: "Boy Chen, what do you want to do? You want everyone in Chang'an City to know that I am here to come to your appointment. What do you mean?"
Chen Chu smiled and said, "Sir Changsun, don't be impatient. I'm sure I'm my intention to ask you to come to the appointment, but this kind of thing has really exceeded my expectations. I just asked Chu Bi to go downstairs to greet you. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. However, you have been with my fourth brother for many years, and I believe you know the temper of the people in the Cheng family..."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
He looked back at Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chubi kept smirking at him.
He is more than just clear, he is so clear!
The people in the Cheng family are all stubborn.
Chen Chu said: "Sir 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 treat me to chicken? Where is the chicken? I don't even give you a cup of tea? Where are you invited?"
Chen Chu said with a smile: "Sir Changsun, don't be anxious. There will be chickens and tea. But before that, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to do pencil business with you." Chen Chu said.
puff!
Changsun Wuji was suddenly stunned and asked, "Are you crazy? You know that I am against pencils the most powerful, but you still have to ask me to do the pencil business?"
Chen Chu nodded: "I am just a stubborn person!"
"Do you think I will agree?" Changsun Wuji snorted, "I will not agree to you in this matter..."
Chen Chu smiled and said, "In the future, the entire Tang Dynasty will use pencils. If one of the Tang Dynasty people use pencils, how much does it cost?"
Um?
Changsun Wuji calculated carefully and felt that it was not a simple account.
Because, this adult does not only use a pencil, but needs to be replaced frequently.
If the Changsun family can be allowed to do this business, the profits will definitely be objective.
However, he looked at Chen Chu with some concern, and always felt something was wrong.
