The battle of the Tiger Skin Station shook the entire Liaodong.

The Ming Dynasty once again defeated Huang Taiji, and this result, riding the wind and the moon, announced to the surroundings.

……

Forbidden city.

In addition to paying attention to the progress of the war at the front every day and listening to the reports of the General Staff on various situations, Yang also had to fight the "spirit" spirit to deal with the natural disasters in the country, and he also had to fight the "spirit" spirit to deal with the backlash of some forces in the DPRK.

It is impossible to be calm in the court, and to do things smoothly.

Today, I still discussed the government affairs with the courtiers for a while, and talked with Han Yi about the progress of the cash-for-work relief, and Yang Gai returned to the Qianqing Palace and prepared a good lunch break. These days are getting hotter and hotter, and the "essence" energy is consumed too quickly, if you don't take a good nap, there will be no "essence" at all in the afternoon.

Although the arrangement was arranged in this way, Yang Gengai couldn't sleep under pressure from several aspects, and he still only squinted his eyes for a while, and then got up, the pressure was too great to sleep peacefully.

"What time is it?" Yang Gengai asked with sleepy eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty! It's not ......," Wang replied. Haven't you gotten any time? Yang Gengai muttered to himself, and he slept for half an hour at most. Feeling the sleepiness of his eyelids and the dizziness of his head, Yang Gai knew that he hadn't slept well, but this "spirit" was very excited. In the face of this pressure from top to bottom, Yang Reform has not been able to be affected at all. At this time, we are at the critical moment of several key events, even if you are calm, you can't calm down, and it is natural for you to be excited.

"Your Majesty, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Wang Chengen looked at the emperor's eyes that were red, confused and confused, and hurriedly asked.

"No......" Yang Gengai stood for a while and said dumbly.

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor said that he would no longer sleep, so he hurriedly served the emperor to dress, and the emperor was going to work to deal with political affairs.

After washing his face and moving around, Yang Gengai got used to it.

"What's important in the afternoon?" Yang Reform asked, if not, Yang Reform was ready to go to the platform. According to Yang Reform's estimate, if there is no accident in the battle in Liaodong, there should be results in the past two days, which is also the reason why Yang Reform is not "snooze", and he really can't sleep peacefully, for fear that as soon as he falls asleep, a terrible news comes.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not important,...... By the way, Your Majesty, Liaodong envoy Liu Jishan presented some objects, I don't know if Your Majesty likes it or not...... "Wang Chengen thought about it, and immediately arranged this matter in the first thing, the first thing in the morning, it must be a military event, Wang Chengen generally did not dare to arrange it indiscriminately, for fear of ruining the emperor's major event, but this first thing in the afternoon, Wang Chengen can move around according to his own preferences, and arrange some things that he thinks are important and useful to the emperor first, and he thinks that there are useless and boring things, so he arranges them later, The emperor's "essence" power is also limited, and he often pays attention to this first thing, and the whole afternoon has passed in a flash, so this position is a very important position. As for Liu Jishan's affairs, it is because he is an imperial party, but a senior of the imperial party, and he has stood on the emperor's side very early, so Wang Chengen has to take care of his affairs.

"Oh, Liu Jishan, what's the matter with him? Didn't he go to Sancha River to help Master Sun? What will he have? Yang Reform asked, Yang Reform still remembers the people of the Imperial Party very clearly, especially the Imperial Party that was closed in the early days, and Yang Reform is even more aware of their movements.

"Your Majesty forgot, this Liu Jishan also deliberately offered the kind of pen for writing small characters in order to write small characters...... Wang Chengen hurriedly reminded with a smile. Oh, this ......, I remembered, there is indeed this thing, could it be that he has a new pen? Yang Reform immediately remembered Liu Jishan, who was the image of the "Saint Seiya", for such a person who dared to argue with the ministers, Yang Reform remembered it vividly, and he did not contribute less to opening up the situation in the court for himself, although he was not a historical figure, but in the eyes of Yang Reform, this amount is also quite heavy. …,

"Your Majesty, it's ......," Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Hehehe, since there is, let's take a look......" Yang Gengai smiled.

Wang Chengen immediately brought a brocade box.

Uncover the brocade box, which contains something wrapped in silk. Wang Chengen unveiled that inside were some "fountain pens" made of "gold", "steel", "jade" and "ivory".

"Pens?" As soon as Yang Reform saw this thing, his first reaction was this.

"Your Majesty has good eyesight, this is not only made of steel, but also made of gold, iron, and copper, this is the tip of the pen, this tube, in addition to gold and silver, there are ivory, 'jade' stone, and precious wood...... Wang Chengen immediately gave the emperor all kinds of explanations, for the things sent by "his own people", Wang Chengen was much more attentive.

Yang Reform is a small accident, this fountain pen, although there are still some differences with the fountain pens of later generations, but the middle petal nib, Yang Gaiai put him into the category of fountain pens at a glance. Yang Gengai was surprised to pick up a golden "color" nib of the pen, carefully looked, Yang Gengai has now seen a lot of gold and silver, at first glance, it can be seen that this nib is definitely made of gold. Yang Gai was surprised by the appearance of fountain pens, but he was even more surprised, there are really people who use gold to make fountain pens!

"Your Majesty, this is made of gold, the tip of the pen is soft, it is easy to write, it is not easy to cut the paper, and it is easy to ...... ink" Wang Chengen thought about it and tried it himself, but he explained it to the emperor in a straightforward way.

"The ...... made of gold" Yang Reform looked at it carefully for a while, with his current understanding of gold and silver, Yang Reform can also judge by himself, this is the real gold. For how to distinguish gold and silver, Yang Reform can also be regarded as a "hard work" to learn, this ability is similar to later generations to learn to distinguish the true and false of the RMB, people who do not learn are fools, unless they do not use gold and silver for a lifetime.

“…… Try ......" Yang Gai said directly without much thought. Yang Reform didn't expect that he was just talking casually at the time, this Liu Jishan really remembered it, and he had been busy with this matter, and after two years, this time finally used metal. At the beginning, Yang Reform didn't expect this to be done, but he just had the attitude of trying it out.

Wang Chengen skillfully dipped this pen in the ink, and gave it to Yang Reform, saying: "Your Majesty, you try ......" Yang Reform took the pen dipped in ink, and drew it on the paper, in terms of feel, it is much more comfortable than Yang Reform to write with a bamboo tip, it is very soft, and it is much more capricious than bamboo.

Yang Reform became interested all of a sudden, and this was indeed a huge step forward, and the "fountain pen" finally evolved from bamboo to metal.

Yang Reform was happy for a while, and also wrote for a while, has been verified on this "pen", it is indeed a good dipping pen, the nib is not hard, it is not easy to cut the paper, the handwriting is also clear, dip in ink, you can also write a word, that is, the tip of the pen is slightly soft, Yang Reform does not dare to work too hard, a little force, the tip of the ink is too much, the handwriting is immediately unreadable, but it is much better than the bamboo nib. Yang Reform determined that this is a relatively mature "fountain pen".

"It's a little soft, and if it's a little harder, it's even better......," Yang said.

"Your Majesty, there is this, this is a pen made of steel, it is relatively hard, Your Majesty try it......" Wang Chengen hurriedly handed over another fountain pen, seeing that the emperor was quite interested, he was also happy. Yang Reform took the pen again, he dipped it in the ink, and began to write, as soon as he got into it, the feeling of this steel nib, the gold nib of the pen is much harder, and the strength to be used in writing is much greater than the gold nib. …,

The more he wrote, the more smiles appeared on Yang Reform's face.

Yang Reform calls himself reform, and it is his mission to change the Ming Dynasty and promote the reform and progress of the Ming Dynasty, so he must change many things and habits. It is destined to set off the changes of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Yang Reform became the emperor, he claimed to be reformed and named after reform, and he also thought about how to carry out changes in the late Ming Dynasty and carried out major changes in society, especially in such a complex situation in the late Ming Dynasty, Yang Reform also summed up some experience.

First of all, the big change, the big reform, there must be, as far as the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, without this, blindly "sticking the wall" will not change the situation of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no doubt that the big aspects should be changed, but in fact, as far as the change of the whole society is concerned, all kinds of subtle changes are more important, and the big actions must be matched with countless small changes and small changes, only in this way can we talk about real changes, the so-called subtle, this is the meaning. Blindly using big means and vigorously carrying out big changes, the backlash and pressure encountered will inevitably become bigger and bigger, and Yang Reform doesn't want to fight with the world alone.

And these subtle changes can play a good buffer role, can play a subtle role, subtle changes can gradually allow people to have a process of adaptation, will not have too much rebellious psychology for change, for change, more beneficial.

As far as the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is necessary to change in order to survive, and the change of society will inevitably have a huge shock, and there is no doubt that countless small changes, small shocks are more suitable for this era than huge shocks again and again.

No one wants a big earthquake every day, and they see their house shake every day. If the intensity of the "earthquake" is so low that you can't feel it, and even if there is an "earthquake" every day, no one will feel anything about it, let alone feel terrible about it.

The change of this writing instrument can be said to be a small change, compared to the vigorous change, he is nothing, although this matter was not less attacked by the ministers at the beginning. Although it was not done at that time, Yang Reform did not issue a holy decree that he was not allowed to write with a "Mao" pen, nor did he make a holy decree that he must write small characters. But it has also opened a small opening for the transformation of this writing instrument, this one by one, now it is constantly changing, constantly developing, inadvertently, from the bamboo pen to the "fountain pen", a subtle change, so there is new progress. A subtle change, and another step forward.

The subtle changes here, the subtle changes there, may not be noticed much at this time, but as they grow older, they will surely burst out with amazing energy, and after a few years, or even more than ten years, decades later, people will find that they have changed so much. When these subtle changes are superimposed, they will produce tremendous energy, and these energies are exactly the energies needed to completely change the entire society, and the reforms will be truly realized.

Although the drastic reform is very smooth and pleasant, it is also more difficult, and the pressure and backlash encountered are bound to be greater.

"This must be made of steel, right?" Yang reformed and wrote for a while, and then asked, this fountain pen is still a little different from the fountain pen of later generations, it is not as bright as that of later generations, but it is a little dark and not slippery.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is made of steel, according to Liu Jishan, he has gone through two years, using several materials in the world to make nibs, the better ones are these, gold, steel, iron, copper, ......" Wang Chengen hurriedly said, this kind of thing to the emperor, not everything can reach the emperor's hands, in the safety and so on, this kind of thing, generally means something, more is to tell the person who sent it, the emperor received something, or simply did not follow, generally will not put anything in front of the emperor, in case something happens, No one can afford it, if you want to give the emperor a purpose, you will generally go through layers of checks, layers of inspections, some special-purpose things, and you will first "get" it, and you will never understand anything, so you will go to the emperor, in that case, the emperor is really a high-risk occupation, Wang Chengen knows this set of things well, that is why. …,

"It's kind of interesting...... "Yang Gengai laughed. I didn't force this thing, but I didn't expect that there has been such a big progress now, which is indeed a bit interesting, and it seems that the people of this emperor party still understand their own hearts.

“…… How did he come up with this? Yang Gengai asked with a smile, very interested in Liu Jishan's ability to make a "fountain pen".

"Your Majesty, it is said that it seems that Sun Yuanhua has helped a lot......" Wang Chengen immediately explained.

"Sun Yuanhua? ...... "Yang reform is unexpected, I didn't expect that this thing can also be related to Sun Yuanhua, and then I think about it, I think it is normal, Sun Yuanhua used the exhaustive method to make steel, but smelted a lot of special-purpose steel, although the output and quality of special steel are not very stable, but to say "get" some special steel to make this fountain nib, it is more than enough, and then think about it, that Sun Yuanhua is the imperial party, this Liu Jishan is the "old-timer" of the imperial party, Liu Jishan made the "fountain pen", it is easy to understand, Liu Jishan, who wanted to come anxiously, asked Sun Yuanhua for help.

"Hehehe, it's a little interesting...... Yang Reform laughed even more, although this fountain pen still belongs to the dipping fountain pen, at most it is a water storage fountain pen, and the fountain pen of later generations has a big difference, but it has to be said that there is a huge progress, and there is a lot of improvement in writing habits and history. What is even more worthy of Yang's reform is that the steel industry is indeed a major driving force for social progress. I just used brute force to make steel with exhaustive methods, and it was immediately rewarded, and the pen entered a new stage. This matter is not only a simple writing instrument progress, but also shows that the steel industry is promoting social progress, from this point of view, this matter is definitely a major event worth celebrating, and its significance is absolutely significant.

The steel industry is gradually growing, developing, and constantly stabilizing.

The power of subtle change, Yang Reform is deeply understood.

Yang was very satisfied, and looked at these "pens" with a smile. Thinking about how to further industrialize the production of these "fountain pens", I saw that these fountain pens were either wrapped in gold and silver, or wrapped in precious wood of "jade" stone, which obviously did not conform to the characteristics of industrial production. "These things are good, but they are too extravagant, these things should be made at the cheapest price as much as possible, so that they can be sold to the people of the world, such a good thing, should be shared with the people of the world, instead of staying in the palace for me to enjoy, my companion said yes?" Yang Gengai thought about it, and soon had an idea, ready to immediately launch the "fountain pen" production line, ready to industrialize the production of fountain pens.

"Your Majesty is right?" Wang Chengen had no opinion on the emperor's business, so he naturally replied.

"Big companion, immediately let Sun Yuanhua find someone to find a way to produce this thing in large quantities, this thing, except for the nib of the pen, must be made of steel, and the others can be cheap, of course, it can't affect the use effect......" Yang Reform said simply, this matter is going to be 'handed over' to Sun Yuanhua to be responsible.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed.

Yang Reform thought about it, this matter, can't just make a decree so casually, it's better for him to write a letter in person to ask, and make the matter "handover" to the generation clearly, so as not to let Sun Yuanhua work blindly, in addition to "handing" on behalf of Sun Yuanhua, he also has to write a reply letter to Liu Jishan.

"Forget it, this matter is still 'handed over' by me personally, there are some things that I can't say clearly for a while, and I will talk about it after I think about it carefully......" Yang Gai thought about it and said. Yang Gai pondered that Sun Yuanhua was now "groping" and manufacturing tools for making tools, such as pliers, which was one of the tools for making tools. Industrialization, to put it simply, is actually making tools out of manufacturing tools. Fountain pen is a tool made by people, is a tool used to write, and the industrialization of fountain pen, to put it simply, is to manufacture a tool to make fountain pen, Yang reform now does not need a few skilled craftsmen to hammer and hammer a few fountain nibs, nor does it need a few skilled craftsmen to make a few beautiful fountain pens, but need to have a tool that can make fountain pens, is to produce in large quantities, the biggest difference between handicraft and industrialization is here, this, indeed must be made clear with Sun Yuanhua, he is not engaged in handicraft, but to engage in industry.

"Slave understands!" Wang Chengen replied again.
