Emperor Jianliang thought about it and said, "Yes, Jialuo said at the time that she accidentally got a pencil and thought it had great development potential, so she let people use it for research."

Leng Lanzhi nodded and said: "Actually, there is an episode to this matter."

She looked at Qiu Wenwen and smiled slightly: "When I got the pencil and learned that it was made by Miss Qiu, the first thing I did was to go to you and discuss cooperation with you."

Qiu Wenwen had an uneasy premonition in her heart as early as Leng Lanzhi opened her mouth.

At this moment, she had a premonition that she just wanted to sew Leng Lanzhi's mouth shut.

If the King of Yue knew the truth at that time, wouldn't her lie be exposed?

However, things have developed so far that she can no longer control it.

Leng Lanzhi had already sighed and said: "At that time, I clearly explained the development prospects of pencils, and also made it clear that I wanted to promote this kind of pen to benefit students all over the world. But Miss Qiu..."

Qiu Wenwen's heart skipped a beat, and she shouted desperately in her heart: Stop talking!

Leng Lanzhi couldn't hear her voice. Of course, even if she heard her, she wouldn't be obedient. She said: "Miss Qiu told me with a face of hatred that if she wanted to buy pencils, she would pay 1000 taels of silver each. Go buy it, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.”

She shook her head: "However, the total cost of the pencil is only a few cents. Including the craftsman's craftsmanship fee, it is only a dozen cents."

"Jialuo, are you telling the truth?" King Yue asked with an ugly expression.

Leng Lanzhi nodded: "I am willing to swear that everything I said is true. If there is even one word of lies, I am willing to be struck by thunder."

People in the Sheng Kingdom were still very afraid of swearing poison.

The King of Yue originally believed that she would not lie, and now he had no doubt at all. He glared at Qiu Wenwen angrily, and almost died of anger: "That's not what you told me!"

In fact, it didn't matter how she said it. What made him angry was that this stupid woman didn't tell him the truth!

If he had seen pencils before Gallo, he would have thought of promoting pencils, and the great credit for this would be his!

Of course, if the pencil really got into his hands first, he would not promote it to the poor, but use it as a means to win over the nobles.

Anyway, no matter what he chooses, it is better than having the opportunity directly destroyed in the hands of Qiu Wenwen, a narrow-minded woman.

Qiu Wenwen shook her head with a pale face, as if she had been bullied severely.

But in fact, no one bullied her at all, so her scene was in vain.

Leng Lanzhi silently admired the other party's acting skills. She was originally somewhat interested, but as she watched, her interest waned.

Why do these people always show such aggrieved and innocent expressions?
If they were really innocent and wronged, then she would admit it.

But unfortunately, the incident was caused by them, and they were the ones who made the mistake. After the incident, they did not think about finding a solution to the problem, but always tried to push it aside by pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy.

She finds it quite boring.

She withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "Back then, I did not take credit for developing the pencil, and now I will certainly not be greedy for credit. Since you said that you got this pencil from a friend of a foreign country, then you will take the credit of this friend of the foreign country. Say the name, and I will name this pencil after him."

"If you can bring the person directly to me, I am willing to give him half of the proceeds from the pencil."

Qiu Wenwen's eyes lit up.

And this good thing?
Although she didn't know any foreign friends at all, with her ability, it was easy to hook up with a foreign man.
Once she had the other person completely under her control, she coaxed the other person to give her all the profits from the pencil.Although a pencil only costs [-] cents, and the so-called profit is not much, as the saying goes, a little adds up to a lot.

This thing is a consumable!

There are so many literati students in the world. Even if a person only uses ten of them a month, he will gain a lot.

The monthly profits add up to thousands of taels, right?

Just when Qiu Wenwen was having a sweet dream, Leng Lanzhi ruthlessly shattered her fantasy: "Don't even think about finding someone to fool me. The matter is important, and I will naturally investigate it carefully. If you want to If you want to interfere with it and seek personal gain, I will never tolerate it."

"Furthermore, my father will never condone you again on such a major matter that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood. Even if you are pregnant with Fifth Brother's child, such a crime cannot be offset by a child."

Qiu Wenwen's face froze, and she said with a smile: "The princess is joking, I don't have that much courage."

But he was cursing secretly in his heart: How can this damn paper man be so smart?He actually knew that she wanted to find someone to mess with her!

Seeing that this road is impassable, although she still harbors illusions, she also understands that under the strict defense of these cold-blooded powerful people, she has no chance of winning.

If she insists on cheating, Leng Lanzhi will definitely find an opportunity.

At that time, the big label of hindering people's livelihood is taken off, maybe Leng Lanzhi can really take this opportunity to kill her cruelly.

She suddenly stopped and said with regret: "Princess Qi, the name of the person who invented the pencil is Joseph Hartmut. But forget it about thanking him. He has returned to his country."

"Before leaving, he told me that he might never set foot in Shengguo again in his life."

"Joseph Hartmut?" Emperor Jianliang showed a curious expression: "Why is this name so weird? Why will he never set foot in Shengguo again?"

Leng Lanzhi also had a strange look in his eyes.

She had seen similar names in the "Shen Gong's Travels".

According to travel notes, in those countries to the south of the sea country, everyone’s names are so long and convoluted.

Qiu Wenwen felt proud.

A group of ancient paper figures sitting in a well and looking at the sky!
She glanced at Leng Lan and then said: "Your Majesty, there is actually another country on the other side of the sea. The people there have blond hair and blue eyes. And their names are different from ours."

In order to avoid future troubles, she explained: "Joseph was brought to our country of Sheng by the waves because of a shipwreck. He said that his country and the country of Sheng are thousands of miles apart. If nothing happens, he will never be here in his life." He may not be able to come back, so I said that he will never set foot in Shengguo again."

Emperor Jianliang looked surprised when he heard this.

Leng Lanzhi was shocked.

What Qiu Wenwen said is completely consistent with the "Shen Gong's Travels"!

If the book hadn't been written 30 years ago, she would have suspected that Qiu Wenwen had someone make the book old and put it in the bookstore.

Under Qiu Wenwen's faintly embarrassed eyes, she nodded: "Then name the pencil after this Joseph Hartmut. As for the income, according to you, this Joseph is not the inventor of the pencil. People, I won’t give it to him.”

"However, in order to thank him for bringing pencils to Shengguo all the way, I think we can establish a school in his name. Part of the proceeds from the pencils will be used to build the school and provide free teaching and education to the students in the school. Food and lodging." (End of chapter)
