"Lord Sake? How did you have this pen! Liu Yinian exclaimed.

"This is a new style of pen just sent by the Mo family, named fountain pen, both the nib and the body of the pen are made of steel." Kong Yingda handed the pen in his hand to everyone to watch.

"Fountain pen!"

"Use steel as a pen!"

Dr. Guozijian looked at the pen in his hand incredulously, they only heard Liu Yinian talk about it, and when they saw the pen made of steel with their own eyes, they were still shocked.

Liu Yinian took the pen, only to feel that it was cold in his hand, it was indeed made of steel, and the silver metal cap was engraved with a small block 'Confucian' character.

At this time, Mojia Village gave Kong Yingda a commemorative pen engraved with Confucian characters, and Shen Hongcai engraved with counting characters, and the other hundreds of schools each had pens engraved with their own names.

Shen Hongcai took the pen engraved with the word 'counting', gently opened the cap, revealing the silver-white nib and said: "This pen is an upgraded version of the quill pen. ”

"Half a day!" Everyone was stunned, this was much more than they had imagined before.

"Writing in steel won't tear the paper?" The four doctors of science are incredible.

"Of course not! The nib of the fountain pen is made so smooth that it is not dry on the paper, but extremely smooth. After Shen Hongcai finished speaking, he picked up the pen and swiped it lightly on a piece of paper, which was indeed very easy and fast.

"Pens, brushes!"

In the prison cell, two pens and brushes were arranged in two rows, and next to Merton's books were Merton's books, as were those of other students.

has been compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides are clear at a glance. Compared with fountain pens, a series of shortcomings such as slow brushes, ink-consuming, and large writing are exposed.

The only fortunate thing is that the brush is suitable for the current way of writing, and there are many users, while the fountain pen must follow the new way of writing, and it will take a long time to promote it.

"By the way, how much does this fountain pen cost?" Dr. Taixue asked suddenly.

Shen Hongcai shook his head and said: "At present, the Mojia Village has tightly made a hundred commemorative pens for Zhuzi, and it is not for sale, if it is sold in the future, with the style of the Mo family, the price will definitely not be high!" ”

Everyone's hearts sank.

Fountain pen is not a simple quill pen, just the pen can not be dipped in ink, it is enough to attract many people to buy, if the pen is spread on a large scale in Datang, it will certainly have an impact on the existing calligraphy and writing format.

"Lord Sake! I have used the brush in China for thousands of years, and countless generations of literati and scholars have used the brush, forming a brilliant calligraphy culture. Liu Yinian said in horror.

Calligraphy is the foundation of his foothold in the country, if one day, everyone writes with a pen, then what is the meaning of his doctorate in calligraphy.

Shen Hongcai sneered: "The people of Yin Shang, carved words, the Shang and Zhou dynasties were replaced by inscriptions, and the pre-Qin period brushes prevailed to replace inscriptions, and my Tang students spent a lot of money on study, most of them are used in pen, ink, paper, inkstone, pen writing can save seventy percent of ink, sixty percent of paper, half of the time, to the old man, this is the gospel of millions of students, but also the inevitable process of pen and ink development, you as a doctor of calligraphy do not want to forge ahead, but narrow-minded, want to forbidden, the extra pen, ink and paper inkstone, you come to the world for the students to come out? ”

Shen Hongcai said unceremoniously that when he took the initiative to teach Guozijian Tianzhu numbers, it was Liu Yinian who fell behind his back, and the two of them had long been on the same page, so they naturally would not show mercy to Liu Yinian at this moment.

"You don't want to spew blood, as soon as the pen comes out, my thousand-year-old writing rules will be ruined, who can bear such a responsibility?" Liu Yinian argued loudly.

"The benefits of fountain pens are equally obvious." Shen Hongcai retorted that in his opinion, the implementation of the fountain pen was almost exactly the same as the scene when Shen Hongcai encountered Tianzhu Numbers, and the benefits and impacts were obvious.

It's just interesting that in the face of this revolutionary change, the two Dr. Guozi chose to treat it in completely different ways.

In the middle of the argument between the two, Kong Yingda fell into contemplation, he did not have any idea about the change of writing rules, no matter how the writing was changed, Confucianism or Confucianism, its spiritual content has not changed much.

This is even true for the other hundreds of schools, among which the biggest impact is calligraphy, and it is no wonder that Liu Yinian is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

Moreover, Merton directly took this fountain pen to one of the hundred schools, and if Confucianism opposed it, I am afraid it will be true.

Kong Yingda pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The fountain pen is a new thing, there are advantages and disadvantages, if you say that it is rashly banned, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the students of the world." ”

The doctors couldn't help but nod secretly, at this moment the brush is the mainstream, the Mo family has just launched a brush, so that Confucianism is like a great enemy, that doesn't tell the world that they are afraid of the Mo family.

"The use of fountain pens or brushes is done voluntarily by students, and if we interfere with them, it will be in vain!" Kong Yingda is very open-minded, even if he goes to the imperial court, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass a decree banning fountain pens, and it will offend the majority of poor students, which will make Confucianism suffer heavy losses.

"Then let's just do it, and watch the fountain 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 to stop the quarrel between the two, and said: "What pen does the student use on weekdays Guozijian will not interfere, and he has no right to interfere, but he must unify the norms in the annual examination, otherwise it is easy to be suspected of fraud." In the future, only brushes can be used for the Guozijian examination and the future imperial examination. ”

Kong Yingda's words are reasonable and well-founded, high-sounding, if everyone else uses a brush, but only one person uses a fountain pen, then who this volume is, isn't it clear at a glance.

"The sacrificial wine lord is wise!" Liu Yinian was immediately overjoyed.

Everything is inferior only to read high, with the national prison and the imperial examination as a baton, the brush has occupied an absolute advantage, for the pen has a weapon to fight back, after all, in the personal future, and save money and convenience, students will naturally know how to choose.

"Then the Mo family's annual exam?" The doctor of the four disciplines was surprised.

"Separate the examination papers from other students, and review the Mo family's papers separately!" Kong Yingda made a final decision.

If it weren't for the fact that there was too much attention to the Mo family in this annual examination, it would not be appropriate to cause more trouble, Kong Yingda would probably even be counted this time.

Shen Hongcai snorted coldly in his heart: "There are a few people who are really officials, if most of the ordinary people in the entire Tang Dynasty use fountain pens, how can a small number of students change the overall situation."

"Okay, this annual exam continues. Next, four learnings! Kong Yingda looked at the four doctors

The four doctors snorted coldly, and walked towards Bingshe with the exam papers in his hands.
