Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, has always been known as the "Four Treasures of Study", not to mention dignitaries, literati and scholars, even if they are peddlers and pawns, they will be equipped at home.

The four rooms of the study room are an important tool for communication between people.

The brush is the "head treasure" of the four treasures of the study, ink, paper, inkstone, are all for the brush service.

Su Dongpo said: "Books must have gods, qi, bones, flesh, and blood. ”

The brush carries the unique cultural memory and aesthetic taste of the Chinese.

Zong Shu did not deny the role of the brush in improving people's aesthetics and exercising people's cultivation, but said that he was not allowed to use inefficient brushes in the Song Academy of Sciences.

Aesthetics and efficiency are like fish and bear's paws, you can't have both.

Fortunately, the crown prince Zhao Huan and Zhuzhu understood Zong Shu's way of speaking, and they had also seen Zong Shu's sharpened charcoal.

If it were someone else, such as the prince and young master Li Ruoshui and the imperial historian Chen Guoting, they would definitely be angry when they heard Zong Shu's words.

The drawings drawn by Zong Shu with charcoal have been recognized by everyone, and even Huizong, a master of calligraphy and painting, believes that with Zong Shu's painting skills, he can completely start a sect.

But the words written with this kind of charcoal pen really dare not be complimented.

This kind of character is like a wooden stick of the same size, mechanical, rigid, and not as warm and varied as the words written with a brush.

The prince thought that Zong Shu's words could only be said in the Great Song Academy of Sciences, but not to spread it, and it would inevitably cause a turmoil to spread it.

Zong Shu said again: "This kind of pencil, in the near future, will definitely be popular all over the world!" ”

Li Shaoyan picked up one and looked at it, this kind of pen is mainly fast, especially suitable for business bookkeeping, but when it comes to being popular in the world, it is a bit of a big talk.

Zong Shu saw that Li Shaoyan didn't believe it, and said: "Wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the unification, from the meeting test to the palace test, and stipulate an article, 10,000 words!" If the number of words is not enough, no matter how high the intention of the article is, they will all fall off the list! ”

Do you use a brush? Beautifully written, it doesn't work! The key is to write fast and have enough words!

Li Shaoyan was convinced, Zong Shu had too many bad ideas.

You have to use a pencil during the exam, so you must choose a pencil when you practice calligraphy.

How can Li Shaoyan be unconvinced, isn't it just to let the people of the world change their pens? What's so hard about it?

This is called the college entrance examination baton! What do you have to study in the college entrance examination? You have to have what you want to use!

With the pencil, carpenters no longer use ink fountains, stretch ink lines, whether it is in construction or mechanical manufacturing, or in painting and priming, pencils have an irreplaceable role.

"Actually, the pencil is not the most convenient, the head is bald, and you have to sharpen it. Or trouble. Zong Shu said.

"Why don't you just make the most convenient pen?" Li Shaoyan felt that since there was the most convenient one, it would be enough to do it in one step.

"Because this kind of pen, according to our current technical level, we can't make it, although it's just a pen, but the requirements are really too high."

Zong Shu thought of later generations, as a big country in the world's manufacturing plants, he couldn't even make a small steel ball of a ballpoint pen.

With the current level of technology and manufacturing in the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to make a ballpoint pen.

"What is this pen called?" Zhuzhu's eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance.

"This kind of pen is called a ballpoint pen. Maybe it will be a few decades from now, when technology has developed to a certain extent. Zong Shu said.

Ballpoint pen?

When Zhuzhu heard the "ballpoint pen", she hurriedly lowered her head.

The prince had goosebumps on his body when he heard this, Zong Shu, his brother-in-law, is really a man of temperament, and he has never concealed his feelings for Zhuzhu.

A pen that can't be made now, and he's also associated with Zhuzhu's name.

The name of Zhuzhu is called: Zhao Yuanzhu.

……

That night, the prince, Zhuzhu and Zong Shu all stayed in Chaohua Village.

This is no longer the bandit's den of the past, everything is kept in good order by Liang Hongyu and his female soldiers.

It will house the people who value Zongshu the most, family members and top experts.

Once the Kinmen attack in a few years' time, this will be the safest place.

The order of Chaohua Village is basically the same as that of the Mixian base dozens of miles away.

The difference is that the manager here is a woman.

Liang Hongyu and other twenty-five women have changed from the lowest level of the people who were bullied by bandits in the past to the masters here.

With Huizong's promise, Zong Shu successfully helped Liang Hongyu get out of the workshop, and later through Zong Shu's efforts, the other women who occupied the workshop also completely changed their identities.

This means that they can raise their heads and be human beings, and even if they want to start a family, there are no longer many obstacles.

At this point, the prince felt another kind of warmth.

That night, in the open space in the center of the village, a barbecue grill was set up, the whole sheep was roasted, and soju was drunk.

After a few glasses of wine, the crown prince Zhao Huan and Zhu Zhu were surprised, they had never drunk such strong wine.

It was extremely difficult to swallow at first, and after a few glasses of wine, I became excited.

After a while, everyone circled around the fire, held hands, and danced.

Zong Shu took Zhuzhu's hand and felt dizzy with happiness.

We must grasp the happiness in our eyes, because life is short and things are impermanent.

Three months ago, it was here that Zong Shu and Xiao Xiaoxiao fought side by side, and together with Li Shaoyan, Xiao Tong, and Xiao Tie, they subdued more than sixty bandits.

It was here that Zong Shu and Xiao Xiao danced hand in hand.

At that time, Liang Hongyu seemed to see something, and said to Zong Shu that she had a way to let Xiao Xiaoxiao stay.

Zong Shu did not agree at the time.

I don't know what the situation of Liao is now, and I don't know if Xiao Xiaoxiao is doing well now.

Some people, once missed, are no more.

Zong Shu suddenly remembered such a lyric.

When he got up the next day, Zong Shu took the prince and Zhuzhu to the bottom of the mountain.

"Chen Jiaoxi!" Zong Shu shouted at a peasant-looking man.

A man in his fifties is busy in a field that, unlike the surroundings, is a paddy field.

This person is Chen Yang, and according to Zong Shu's requirements, he wants to complete the research on the northward migration of southern rice.

Zong Shu introduced to Chen Yang, Chen Yang was excited, but he didn't expect the prince and princess to come to see him in person.

Zhao Huan and Li Shaoyan saw that Chen Yang was not good-looking, dry and thin, thin and short, could they let rice grow in the north?

The fact that Zong Shu wants to plant rice in Mi County has already attracted great attention from all parties, and many people have placed bets on Zong's gambling house.

Because no matter whether they win or lose, the bettors will not lose money, so gamblers flock to it, and Zong Shu really doesn't know how much money he has now.

For Zong Shu, no matter whether he wins or loses, from the perspective of financing alone, he is a winner.

"Chen Jiaoxi, it doesn't matter to me whether I can grow rice or not. But if you plant it, you will be the hero of my Great Song Dynasty! From now on, the people of my Great Song Dynasty will no longer be hungry! ”

The hero of the Great Song Dynasty!

The prince immediately thought that the people take food as the sky, and whoever solves the food problem is the people's sky!

If you don't let the people have enough to eat, they will turn against the sky!

Thinking about the grateful eyes and crazy shouts of the people in the Mixian base, Zhao Huan felt that the harvest was too great, because he really understood what the people needed and what the Great Song Dynasty needed at present.
