Chapter 140: Book Again
Among the students, there were already good deeds running up and counting the number of words written by Qin Li and Zhao Wenhua.
I learned arithmetic with Matteo Ricci, and the counting was much faster, and when he finished counting, he was stunned. In the time of half a pillar of incense, Zhao Wenhua wrote two hundred and thirty-seven words, and Qin Li wrote six hundred and sixty-five words.
The man who counted looked at the small pencil in Qin Li's hand and was speechless for a long time. Little did he know that this little pencil could not only write, but write so many words, almost three times as many as a brush. What surprised him even more was that the handwriting in pencil was very clear and easy to read, which was amazing.
And although Zhao Wenhua's handwriting is very good and neat, but just now he was flying like a pen, obviously a little sloppy, and some words that the person couldn't recognize.
This is the difference between a hard pen and a soft pen.
When Long Deyou announced the number of words for each of Qin Li and Zhao Wenhua, the audience was in an uproar. Even Tang Bohu and other three talented people were surprised, and they were amazed.
After all, Tang Bohu is a great talent, and he is used to being profligate, he is not pedantic. At this time, he was even more full of respect for Qin Li, and was secretly proud that he had accepted such a good apprentice who was extremely smart.
Qin Li's face was still Gujing Wubo, he looked at the crowd indifferently, and was about to speak, but Zhao Wenhua suddenly stepped forward. At this time, Zhao Wenhua was full of hatred for Qin Li in his heart.
He boasted that his writing speed was super fast, and he thought that he would definitely make Qin Li embarrassed and lose face today. Unexpectedly, Qin Li still won, and the victory was extremely perfect. He was secretly ruthless. Today it was planted in Qin Li's hands again, hum! It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I, Zhao Wenhua, must one day be good-looking and want his life to relieve the hatred in my chest.
Although he hated Qin Li in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face. He blushed and looked at Qin Li deeply, and said, "Lord Qin, can you allow the students to say a few words to them?" ”
Qin Li was slightly stunned, but said even later. "Okay! Our county school talks about democracy, and anyone can speak. ”
Although everyone has never heard of the word "democracy", many intelligent people present can still understand its meaning after thinking about it.
Zhao Wenhua smiled at Qin Li full of admiration. Turning around, facing everyone, he said loudly, "Everyone. Speaking of brushes. We have been using it for thousands of years. This is something left by our ancestors, and none of us are willing to discard it. ”
He paused deliberately at this point. And Qin Li was extremely dissatisfied with him in his heart when he heard this, but he still calmed down and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Zhao Wenhua paused here, in fact, he also had ulterior motives, he just wanted to add to Qin Li's blockage. But if he really screwed up with Qin Li, he really didn't have the courage to do that now. This can be regarded as a little vent.
He didn't dare to pause for too long. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But you all saw it just now. Lord Qin used a pencil to outperform me. What does this mean? This shows that this pencil can not only write, but also write very quickly, which is much better than a brush.
History is constantly progressing and developing, and I thought that the pencil launched by Lord Qin was a progress of my Ming Dynasty.
I, Zhao Wenhua, have decided that from today onwards, I will no longer use brushes, and will begin to use the pencils invented by Lord Qin. ”
After he finished speaking, he threw away the brush in his hand and stomped on it twice. A delicate and luxurious wolf quill pen was ruined by him.
Zhao Wenhua then gave Qin Li a deep salute, and then retreated. As he walked towards the crowd, he thought that Qin Li was really a demon, and this pencil was really a new and progressive thing. But how advanced can it be?
The imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty still uses a brush to answer the questions, if you really use this pencil to answer the questions, then the exam is ironclad. Hum! Qin Li, you just wait and see. Today, I will first instigate everyone to use a brush, and wait for the time when the scientific examination fails, that is, when you Qin Li is finished.
When that day comes, it's no wonder that everyone doesn't hate you to death! By the way, it's better to hate to peel your skin!
Qin Li naturally couldn't guess Zhao Wenhua's thoughts, but he was very surprised that Zhao Wenhua could make such a move today, he secretly wondered, could it be that Zhao Wenhua really woke up and became better? The human heart is really hard to fathom!
Qin Li smiled and watched Zhao Wenhua walk into the crowd and stand up, then said loudly, "Did you hear what Zhao Wenhua said just now?" ”
"I heard that, I'll write with a pencil from now on!" Everyone replied in unison. Especially Qian Fei, Qin Li has already become an idol in his heart, and his shouting is the loudest.
Qin Li smiled slightly and said, "The official thinks that some of what Zhao Wenhua said just now is right, but some of them are wrong.
After many years of practice, our ancestors invented a tool for writing: the brush. The brush has long become a treasure for us, how can we say that we will give it up?
Indeed, pencils are much easier to use and easier to use than brushes, and they are quick to write. But with a pencil, the role of the brush should not be underestimated. Therefore, what I want to tell you today is that when you write in the future, you can use any kind of pen. But this pencil must be used well, and it must be written well for the official.
Writing pencil words will be used as an exam for Jiangdu County School in the future, and those who can't write pencil words well are not a qualified student of my Jiangdu County School.
Some people may ask, but the imperial examination has to be answered with a brush. Can I get fame by answering questions with a pencil? Today, the official will tell you that the official will then write to the emperor and promote the pencil in the Ming Dynasty. ”
After Qin Li's words were finished, the crowd boiled, and everyone looked at Qin Li with a little more admiration and admiration.
But Zhao Wenhua's heart was cold at this time, his wishful thinking fell through again, and he was extremely depressed.
But soon Zhao Wenhua blinked his eyes slyly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of an imperceptible sinister smile.
After everyone dispersed, Long Deyou immediately went to various schools to urge the use of pencils. Qin Li returned to the hall of the teachings and immediately wrote to Emperor Zhengde to promote the pencil.
Qin Li still has a very thorough understanding of Emperor Zhengde's character. Zhengde is a person who likes to have fun and is very interested in anything new. Qin Li thought to himself that the pencil would definitely arouse his interest and let him promote it in Daming.
Of course, Qin Li, as usual, first praised Zhengde in his letters, and then said that once the pencil was launched, it would be a great progress in history, and he Zhengde would become a generation of Ming Jun because of his small pencil, which will be praised through the ages.
In order to ensure that Zhengde promoted pencils and ordered that pencils could be used in the imperial examination, Qin Li naturally had to send hundreds of pencils to Zhengde for viewing and use. Moreover, Qin Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and simply drew a structural diagram of a suit in later generations for Zhengde.
Zhengde likes costumes and fancy costumes, Qin Li believes that if this suit is cut according to the drawing, Zhengde will definitely be happy. On a whim, she drew a picture of a bikini for Liu Niangniang. Liu Niangniang is a very open-minded and cheerful woman, but women will have a common problem, worrying about falling out of favor with men. The visual impact of the bikini is huge, and I believe that although Liu Niangniang will be shy, she will like it in the end.
The letter to Zhengde was the same as last time, but it was still handed over to Huang Tian to send, and he asked him to hand it over to the old eunuch Bi Yun first, and then Bi Yun to Zhengde.
After this matter was settled, Qin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. I felt a little lighter.
Just as he was about to rest for a while, Li Bo led two messengers to suddenly come in and report, "Lord Qin, the lower officials secretly supervised Chen Cuiying day and night according to your instructions, and finally gained something. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Chen Cuiying's woman's family was actually a White Lotus Sect. Although she was not directly involved in setting fire to the county school, she was also an accomplice.
Because he felt that the matter was important, the lower officials did not dare to act rashly, and came to report to the adults. What to do next, please tell me. (To be continued.) )
