Mohist Tang

“Lord Libation Chancellor? Why do you have this pen!” Liu Yinian said in surprise.

“This is a new pen that Mohist Family has just sent. It is named a fountain pen. Both the nib and the body are made of steel.” Kong Yingda passed the fountain pen in his hand to everyone to watch.

“Pen!”

“Pen with steel!”

The Court Academecians of Imperial College of Supreme Learning looked at the pen in their hands incredibly, they only Listening to Liu Yinian, when they saw the pen made of steel, they were still shocked.

Liu Yinian took the pen, only to feel cold when he started it. It was indeed made of steel. The silver metal cap was engraved with the word’Confucianism’ in lowercase.

At this time, the commemorative pen specially created by Mohist Village for the Hundred Schools of Thought gave Kong Yingda engraved with Confucian characters, while the one given to Shen Hongcai with engraved characters, and other Hundred Schools of Thought. Pens engraved with their names are given as gifts.

Shen Hongcai took the pen engraved with the word “calculated”, gently opened the cap, revealing the silver white nib and said: “This pen is an upgraded version of a quill pen. Mohist Family craftsmen use iron as a bone , With steel as the nib, taking the theory of quill pens a step further, one ink absorption is enough to use half a day.”

“Half a day!” Everyone was suddenly awe-inspiring, which is more than what they had imagined before. Hundred characters are much more.

“Will you write with steel, won’t you scratch the paper?” Court Academecian unimaginable said.

“Of course not! The nib of the fountain pen is made so smooth that it does not feel dry when written on paper, but it is extremely smooth.” Shen Hongcai finished, took the fountain pen and gently placed it on a piece of paper It was really easy and fast.

“Pen, writing brush!”

In the prison, two fountain pens and a group of writing brushes are arranged in two rows, next to Mo Dun’s postscript and other students’ postscripts Also visit side by side.

Already compared, the pros and cons of the two sides are obvious at a glance. Compared with a fountain pen, a series of shortcomings such as the slowness of the writing brush, the waste of ink, and the large writing capacity are all 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 style of writing. It will take a long time to promote it.

“By the way, what is the price of this pen?” Court Academecian suddenly asked.

Shen Hongcai shook his head and said: “Currently, the Hundred Schools of Thought commemorative pen from Mohist Village is not for sale. If you want to sell it in the future, the price will definitely be in the style of Mohist Family. How high is it!”

The hearts of everyone suddenly sank.

The fountain pen is not a simple quill pen. Just the point that the fountain pen does not need to be dipped in ink is enough to attract many people to buy it. If the fountain pen spreads in Great Tang on a large scale, it will definitely be a big problem for the existing calligraphy. Concuss with writing format.

“Lord Libation Chancellor! I have used brushes in China for thousands of years, and countless generations of literati and ink scholars have used brushes to form a splendid calligraphy culture. How can it be destroyed by a yellow-haired kid’s mischief , I also invite Lord Libation Chancellor to play Imperial Court, and this pen is forbidden.” Liu Yinian said in horror.

Calligraphy is the foundation of his foothold in the Imperial College of Supreme Learning. If one day, everyone writes words with a pen, then what is the meaning of his book Court Academecian?

Shen Hongcai said with a sneer: “Shen Hongcai said with a sneer: “Shen Hongcai said with a sneer: “The people of the Yin and Shang dynasties were carved on the bones. They were replaced by inscriptions in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the pre-Qin period, writing brushes were popular to replace inscriptions. Most of them are used in pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Pen writing can save 70% of ink and 60% of paper, half of the time. From the perspective of old man, this is the gospel of millions of students and the inevitable course of the development of pen and ink. You are a book Learning Court Academecian does not want to make progress, but narrow-minded, and want to ban, the extra pen, ink, paper and inkstone, will you come out for the worlds students?”

Shen Hongcai said unceremoniously, when he took the initiative When teaching the Imperial College of Supreme Learning Indian Numbers, it was Liu Yinian who hit a person when he’s down behind his back. The two of them had been in the same situation for a long time, so naturally they would not be merciful to Liu Yinian at this moment.

“Don’t spit blood, once the pen comes out, my Huaxia Millennium Writing Rules will be ruined. Who can bear the responsibility?” Liu Yinian argued loudly.

“The benefits of fountain pens are equally obvious.” Shen Hongcai retorted. In his opinion, the implementation of fountain pens is almost exactly the same as when Shen Hongcai met Indian Numbers. The benefits and impact are obvious.

Its just interesting that in the face of this revolutionary change, the two courts, Court Academecian, chose a completely different approach.

During the dispute between the two, Kong Yingda fell into contemplation. Regarding the change in writing rules, he did not at all think about it. No matter how the writing was changed, Confucianism or Confucianism, its spiritual content has not changed. .

This is even true for the other philosophers of Hundred Schools of Thought. Among them, the biggest impact is calligraphy. It is no wonder that Liu Yinian is like a cat with his tail trampled on.

Moreover, Mo Dun directly used this pen, Hundred Schools of Thought, everybody has one. If Confucianism opposes it, I am afraid it will be implemented.

Kong Yingda pondered for a moment, and slowly said: “Pen is a new thing, with pros and cons. If it is banned rashly, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the world’s students.”

Court Academecian I couldn’t help but secretly nodded. At this moment, the brush is the mainstream. Mohist Family Son has just launched a brush and made Confucianism like a big enemy. Wouldn’t it tell the world that they are afraid of the Mohist Family.

“Using a fountain pen or using a brush is a voluntary act of the student. If I intervene arbitrarily, it’s all that’s all!” Kong Yingda saw it very openly. Even if he writes to the Imperial Court, I am afraid it will be difficult. Passing a law banning fountain pens will offend the vast number of poor students, so that Confucianism will suffer heavy losses.

“Then let’s just watch the pen step by step instead of the brush.” Liu Yinian said anxiously.

Shen Hongcai said with a sneer: “Maybe it is not necessarily to create a new kind of calligraphy!”

Kong Yingda raised her hand to stop the quarrel between the two and said: “Students normally use the Imperial College of Supreme Learning and will not interfere, nor have the right to interfere, but they must be standardized during the annual examinations, otherwise it is easy to be suspected of fraud. In the future, the Imperial College of Supreme Learning exams and future imperial examinations, Only brushes can be used.”

Kong Yingda’s remarks are justified and well-sounding. If everyone else uses brushes, and only one person uses a pen, then who is the scroll? Isnt it obvious at a glance?

“Lord Libation Chancellor is wise!” Liu Yinian immediately said with great happiness.

Everything is low grade. Only high school. With the Imperial College of Supreme Learning and the imperial examination as baton, the brush has an absolute advantage. It has a counterattack weapon for the pen. After all, in the personal future, On top of saving money and convenience, students will naturally know how to choose.

“Then Mohist Family Son took the test this time?” Court Academecian, the four schools, was surprised.

“Separate the examination papers from other students, and review the papers of Mohist Family Son separately!” Kong Yingda said in a final word.

If it weren’t for this year’s test, there was too much attention to Mohist Family Son, and it is really not suitable to cause trouble. Kong Yingda might even count Mo Dun this time.

Shen Hongcai’s heart is coldly snorted: “There are a few people who are really officials. If most of the ordinary people in Great Tang use pens, how can a small group of students change the overall situation.

“Well, this year’s test continues. Next game, four courses! Kong Yingda looked towards Court Academecian

Court Academecian coldly snorted and moved towards Bingshe.
