Chapter 182: Are the Chrysanthemums in My Hometown Blooming?
The eldest grandson Wuji paused, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the eldest princess has a noble status, and she personally went to get involved in this business matter, but she is afraid of ......."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Er took over and said, "You want to say that it will lose the face of the royal family, right?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly: "The minister doesn't dare! ”
This kind of thing, Li Er said it was okay, but he couldn't.
Because he is a courtier.
Li Er laughed and said: "Auxiliary, this matter, you misunderstood Lizhi, Lizhi is not in business, but in promoting pencils, she found me a few days ago, saying that she had a dream, dreaming of the ancestor, the ancestor said, the pencil he invented, now finally came out, I hope to let more people use pencils, Lizhi said that she has a dream, that is, so that everyone in the world can use pencils...... I asked Yuan Tiangang for divination, and Yuan Tiangang said that Lizhi was doing this according to the wishes of the ancestors, and this is a great thing......"
What?
The eldest grandson Wuji was completely stunned.
I wanted to do it.
Unexpectedly, it involved Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family.
Even the divination came out.
How can this be opposed?
He vomited blood in his heart.
It's impossible to refute such a lofty reason.
Just when the eldest grandson Wuji was depressed, he only heard Li Er ask: "Auxiliary, I suddenly remembered that Chen Chu handed over the secret recipe for pencil manufacturing to the eldest grandson's family, and I was very relieved to learn the news, because, in this Manchu Dynasty, no one wants to share my worries, and the eldest grandson's family is the first ......."
What the?
Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes widened suddenly.
Share your Majesty's worries?
Wrong!
My eldest grandson's family took away the pencil secret recipe to make money.
That's not it!
He hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty ......"
Li Er raised his hand to interrupt and said: "Auxiliary, I know that you don't want to invite merit, but I have asked people to check, your eldest grandson's pencil is also two hundred wen, almost no money, this matter, it is simply a blessing for all the people, I want to thank you for the people of the world, yes, I asked Zhongshu Province to draft an edict for commendation, and the edict has been sent, at this moment, I am afraid that it has already arrived at the Duke of Qi......"
Burst!
The eldest grandson Wuji vomited blood in his heart.
The kind that spits and vomits.
The edict has arrived at the Duke of Qi.
He wanted to cry now.
The eldest grandson's plan to make money was scrapped.
I heard Li Er say again: "Of course, Chen Chu also has a credit for this matter, he doesn't want a penny, he is willing to take out the secret recipe for pencil manufacturing, I have already issued an order, let him publish the secret recipe for pencil manufacturing to the world, anyone can make pencils for sale, for every pencil sold, give him 20 yuan, what do you think?" ”
Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"
His heart was bleeding.
Once the secret recipe for pencil making is announced, in the future, this money will not be earned by the eldest grandson's family.
Anyone in the world can earn it.
But he couldn't object to it yet.
Because of His Majesty Li Er's reasons, it is really too lofty.
So, when Li Er asked, "Auxiliary, why don't you speak?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji could only shed tears in his heart, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks this is a good thing, it's just great!" ”
After that, he couldn't stay any longer, so he took his leave and left.
Waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to leave, Li Er said happily: "Chen Chu is right, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only the auxiliary machine is the most profound and righteous, he knows that the eldest grandson's family will lose benefits because of this, but he still supports my decision, such a selfless person, it is rare to see it throughout the ages." ”
I don't know if the eldest grandson Wuji will really vomit blood on the spot after hearing this.
……
With an edict from the imperial court, the secret recipe for pencil making was revealed.
This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
The most important thing is to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family.
So, it became above board.
When the small businessmen were still hesitating, the big ones had already ended.
In less than half a month, pencil specialty stores have sprung up in Chang'an City.
The eldest grandson's family's desire to monopolize the pencil was completely shattered.
For a moment, the brush was squeezed by the pencil and there was no space.
Even places such as Guozijian and Hongwenguan had to be completely opened, and the students completely gave up brushes.
……
Twilight.
The golden sunlight shone in the courtyard and also through the windows on the floor.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open.
A figure walked in.
It is the big housekeeper of Hongwen Pavilion, Chu Suiliang.
And the person in the room is the bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan lost his soul, his face was pale, and his hair was messy.
He looked up and saw Chu Suiliang and asked, "Dengshan, have the chrysanthemums in my hometown bloomed?" ”
Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang are both from Jiangnan, and the two are fellow villagers.
Chu Suiliang shook his head: "Brother Yu, now that it has been close to the end of the year, I am afraid that the chrysanthemums have already bloomed." ”
Yu Shinan sighed and said: "Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone, and my favorite is also chrysanthemums, when chrysanthemums bloom, they are my happiest time...... Nowadays, Chang'an City is overwhelmed with pencils, and even the Hongwen Pavilion is no exception, so we have failed......"
When people are sad, they inevitably think of their favorite things.
Chrysanthemums are Yu Shinan's favorite.
Chu Suiliang looked at the haggard Yu Shinan and said: "Brother Yu, the general trend has gone, at the moment when the Daomen ended, when His Majesty had nothing to say, in fact, we have already lost, Chen Chu is right, the general trend of the world, Hao Hao soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, we can't go against the general trend......"
Chen Chu?
Hearing these two words, Yu Shinan felt like he had been stepped on his tail.
He stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "The development of Hongwen Pavilion to the present is all Chen Chu, all of them are Chen Chu's harm, you look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the beginning, gentle and frugal, how humble, but now, he actually began to refute, what kind of debate club did he form, and the students of the entire Hongwen Pavilion were defeated in the debate, even we, gentlemen, were not his opponents...... cough cough cough ...... That kid, drive him away, Hongwenguan can't keep him, otherwise who knows what will happen. ”
Yu Shinan was afraid.
At the beginning, he also swore to Li Er that he would use calligraphy to sharpen Chen Chu's character.
Months passed.
He almost didn't even save the Hongwen Pavilion.
Since Chen Chu appeared, he Yu Shinan has not lived a day of peace.
Chu Suiliang said: "Chen Chu is outside, these days, he is giving a lecture to the student federation, talking about what kind of debating skills......
Yu Shinan was shocked: "Hurry up, call him quickly, you can't let him harm the students of Hongwen Hall anymore." ”
Yu Shinan looked very excited.
Chu Suiliang hurried away.
After a short time, he brought Chen Chu into the house.
Chen Chu came in and greeted Yu Shinan with a smile: "Old Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are a lot haggard...... Look at it, your chrysanthemums are gone......"
He gestured to the table.
It turned out that there was a pot of autumn chrysanthemums raised by Yu Shinan himself.
It's completely withered now.
