Chapter 376

"Wine worship Lord? How could you have such a pen!" Liu Yinian said in a surprised voice.

"This is a new pen just sent by the Mohist school. It is called pen. Both the tip and body are made of steel." Kong Yingda handed the pen to the people to watch.

"Pen!"

"Take steel as a pen!"

Dr. Guozijian looked at the pen in his hand. They only heard Liu Yinian talk about it. When they saw the pen made of steel, they were still shocked.

Liu Yinian took the pen and felt that it was cold. It was indeed made of steel. On the silver metal cap, there was a small block letter "Confucianism".

At this time, Mojia village gave Kong Yingda engraved Confucian characters for the commemorative pens specially made by hundreds of schools, and Shen Hongcai engraved arithmetic characters. The other 100 schools each had pens engraved with their own names.

Shen Hongcai took the pen engraved with the word "Suan" and gently opened the cap to reveal the silver tip of the pen. "This pen is an upgraded version of the goose feather pen. The skilled Mohist craftsman takes iron as the bone and steel as the tip of the pen. He went further in the principle of the goose feather pen. Absorbing ink at one time is enough to use half a day."

"Half a day!" the crowd was shocked, which was much more than the thousands of words they had imagined before.

"If you write with steel, won't you cut the paper?" Dr. Simen said strangely.

"Of course not! The nib of the pen is made to be extremely smooth. Instead of feeling dry, it is extremely smooth." Shen Hongcai said, picked up the pen and gently scratched it on a piece of paper. It is really easy and fast.

"Pen, brush!"

In the prison, two pens and a group of brushes were placed in two rows, next to Merton's book posts, which were also visited by other students side by side.

It has been compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are clear at a glance. Compared with pens, a series of shortcomings such as slow writing, ink consumption, large writing and so on are exposed.

The only good thing is that the brush is suitable for the current writing method. There are many users, and the pen must follow the new writing method. It will take a long time to promote it.

"By the way, how much does this pen cost?" the doctor of Imperial College suddenly asked.

Shen Hongcai shook his head and said, "at present, the Mohist village has closely made hundreds of commemorative pens and does not sell them. If you want to sell them in the future, the price must not be much higher in the style of Mohism!"

The hearts of the people suddenly sank.

The pen is not a simple goose feather pen. The fact that the pen can not dip in ink alone is enough to attract many people to buy it. If the pen is spread on a large scale in Datang, it will certainly have an impact on the existing calligraphy and writing format.

"Worship Lord! I have used the brush for thousands of years in China, and countless generations of literati have used the brush to form a brilliant calligraphy culture. How can it be destroyed by a yellow haired child's nonsense? Please play the imperial court to ban this pen." Liu Yinian was frightened.

Calligraphy is the foundation of his foothold in the Imperial College. If one day everyone writes with a pen, what is the significance of his calligraphy doctor.

Shen Hongcai sneered: "The people of yin and Shang Dynasties engraved bones and left words. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, inscriptions were replaced by calligraphy. In the pre-Qin period, calligraphy was popular to replace inscriptions. However, students in the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of time studying, mostly on pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Pen writing can save 70% of ink and 60% of paper. In my opinion, this is the gospel of millions of students and the inevitable process of pen and ink development. Are you a doctor of calligraphy I want to be enterprising, but I'm narrow-minded and want to ban it. You can come out for the students all over the world? "

Shen Hongcai said impolitely that when he took the initiative to teach the number of Tianzhu in the Imperial College, Liu Yinian fell behind the well. The two had long been in the same situation. At the moment, naturally, he would not show mercy to Liu Yinian.

"Don't spit out blood. Once the pen comes out, my Chinese millennium writing rules will be destroyed. Who can bear such responsibilities?" Liu Yinian argued loudly.

"As like as two peas obviously," Shen Hongcai retorted, "in his view, the pen is almost identical to the original figure of Shen Hongcai when he meets the Tianzhu number. The benefits and impacts are obviously obvious.

It's just interesting that in the face of this revolutionary change, the two Dr. Guozi chose a different way to deal with it.

During their debate, Kong Yingda fell into meditation. He had no idea about the change of writing rules. No matter how the writing was changed, Confucianism or Confucianism had no change in its spiritual content.

Even for other schools of thought, calligraphy has the greatest impact. No wonder Liu Yinian is like a cat with a trampled tail.

Moreover, Merton directly handed this pen to everyone in a hundred families. If Confucianism opposes it, I'm afraid it will fall on people's lips.

Kong Yingda pondered for a moment and said slowly, "the pen is a new thing. It has both advantages and disadvantages. If you say to ban it rashly, I'm afraid it's difficult to explain to the students all over the world."

The doctors could not help nodding. At the moment, the brush is the mainstream. Just after Mohist Zi launched a brush, Confucianism is like a great enemy. Isn't that telling the world that they are afraid of Mohism.

"Using a pen or a brush is a voluntary act of students. If we interfere indiscriminately, we will only cause trouble!" Kong Yingda was very open. Even if he wrote to the court, I'm afraid it would be difficult to pass the law banning pens, and would offend the majority of poor students, which would cause heavy losses to Confucianism.

"Let's do this and watch the pen replace the brush step by step." Liu Yinian said anxiously.

Shen Hongcai sneered, "maybe it's not necessarily to create a new kind of calligraphy!"

Kong Yingda raised his hand and stopped the quarrel between them. He said, "what pen students use on weekdays, the Imperial College will not interfere, and has no right to interfere. However, it must be unified and standardized in the year-old examination, otherwise it is easy to be suspected of fraud. In the future, the Imperial College Examination and the future imperial examination can only use a brush."

Kong Yingda's words are well founded and high sounding. If everyone else uses a brush and only one uses a pen, it's not clear at a glance who this volume is.

"It's wise to offer wine!" Liu Yinian said with great joy.

All things are inferior. Only reading is high. With the National Academy of Sciences and the imperial examination as the baton, the brush has occupied an absolute advantage. It has a weapon to fight back against the pen. After all, in terms of personal future and saving money and convenience, students will naturally know how to choose.

"That Mohist's this year's exam?" the doctor of four subjects was surprised.

"Separate the examination paper from other students, and the marking of Mohist school will be reviewed separately!" Kong Yingda said.

If it weren't for this year's exam, there were too many concerns about Mohism, so it's not suitable to cause more trouble. Kong Yingda is afraid that even this time Merton is included.

Shen Hongcai said coldly, "how many people are really officials? If most people in the whole Tang Dynasty use pens, how can a small number of students change the overall situation.

"Well, this year's exam continues. Next, four subjects!" Kong Yingda looks at the doctor of four subjects

The doctor of four schools snorted coldly and went to bingshe with his examination paper.
