Watching Chen Mo draw thin lines on the white paper with the goose feathers cut with scissors, not only Wei Chao and the two carpenters, but even King Lu and Yin Shangde, who came over to watch the excitement, also widened their eyes.

Li Tianyou looked at Chen Mo with blazing eyes: "Shaoyan, how did you come up with the idea of using goose feathers to make a pen?" ”

"I saw people use it when I was a child." Chen Mo replied casually, naturally it can't be said that this is a foreigner's specialty, after all, since the Three Treasures eunuch, after a long period of trouble, the Ming Dynasty foreigners are very rare, even if Matteo Ricci meets Wanli, he will have to wait for several more years.

In fact, the real quill pen needs to be degreased and hardened after the long goose feathers are better used, and now Chen Mo is holding in his hand of course, of course, it has not been treated, so the lines drawn are actually much thicker than those drawn by the fountain pens of later generations, but compared with the soft brush, the advantage is still very obvious - the brush wants to draw so thin as the quill pen, at least after years of immersion, and compared to the poor, the brush is expensive, but the goose feathers are everywhere.

I have to tell this method to the babies in the village who want to study.

Lao Zhao and Lao Liu had a small abacus, looking through the gap between Lu Wangyin Shangde and others, looking at what Chen Mo was drawing.

Chen Mo drew four pillars on white paper, with crossbars on them and pull rings on them. The lines are clear and simple, a few strokes are done, and the words "eight zhang" and "six zhang" are written on the pillar and the crossbar respectively, and when he raised his eyes, he saw King Lu and they were surrounding him to watch the excitement, but squeezed the two carpenters to the side, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you let me, you can't understand it, call the two masters over, let's tell them." ”

"What kind of thing is drawn, this king still disdains to look at it!" Zhu Yihua didn't see a reason for a long time, but now when Chen Mo said this, he couldn't hold his face, turned around and left.

Seeing him go out, Yin Shangde also hurriedly followed: "Your Highness, don't be angry, anyway, you also gave him a chance, let's just watch from the sidelines and see what ...... he makes in the end."

The whispered discussion faintly floated to Chen Mo's ears, Chen Mo smiled, and said in his heart, wait, when your eyes fell to the ground.

"Lao Zhao Lao Liu, that's the case, sit on the side, alas, get closer, let's not eat people, don't be restrained...... See these four pillars? At least seven zhang high, four points are arranged, and the diagonal distance should reach 12 zhang...... It was night before we came, and we didn't pay attention to it, so I don't know if there are such tall trees nearby...... Forget it, let's build a shelf, firm. Yes, these four pillars are erected with shelves, and they are stronger, and if they can go up to people, they must be able to bear weight, no problem, right? ”

Chen Mo's words were simple and easy to understand, and the two carpenters nodded again and again, but the expressions on their faces were still confused.

Lao Zhao was bolder and asked: "It's no problem to build a shelf, if there are many people, it can be built in a few days, but what is my father-in-law doing with such a high shelf?" Why do we get more confused the more we listen? ”

Chen Mo smiled, seeing that Li Tianyou and Wei Chao were also puzzled, he was even more reluctant to speak out, and said, "Don't ask first, you will know what to do when you build it...... As for the four crossbars, they have to be able to move on these four wooden shelves, right? ”

"No problem." Seeing that Chen Mo was approachable and not as arrogant as the eunuchs next to him, the two carpenters gradually let go and spoke neatly.

"Very good," Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, took out a silver ticket from his arms, thought about it and handed it to Li Tianyou, and said: "This is one thousand taels of silver, thirty taels for each of you, and the rest, go back to the village to find someone to help, five taels for men and two taels for women, but you have to do needlework well, the more people, the better, and find someone to find him to receive silver." ”

"Huh?" The two carpenters were dumbfounded. They had long been prepared to do hard labor, and they didn't expect to earn money at all, and there was so much. Thirty taels, a family can spend enough for several years.

Li Tianyou and Wei Chao were also surprised, and Wei Chao's eyes were even more golden, and his eyes couldn't stop glancing into Chen Mo's arms.

"Brother Tianyou, Brother Wei, don't be envious of the two of you, we are not good at doing it now, you two have to worry about this matter, after the matter is completed, we will be grateful." The common people have been oppressed for a long time and do not trust the eunuchs, so they have to give silver before they can work hard. The people around him are different, Li Tianyou doesn't say it, the Wei Dynasty is slippery and fine, and he has to take the silver to be motivated.

"Hey," Wei Chao nodded ecstatically: "Brother, just look at it, let's do this properly." With hope, I didn't even say "our family", and directly called "we".

"Brother Wei, let's rest assured, it's okay, it's not too early, Brother Wei will take them down to prepare early, the sooner you do it, the better."

After Wei Chao led Lao Zhao and Lao Liu out of the door, estimating that they would no longer be able to hear the conversation in the house, Li Tianyou complained to Chen Mo: "Shaoyan is the same for you, it's not such a trick to have silver, right?" What have those who farmed the land seen, and given a few copper plates, it was a beautiful fart, so much silver, and they ...... it themselves."

"Brother Tianyou," Chen Mo's face became rare and serious, and he tilted his head to look at Li Tianyou: "We don't know why you entered the palace, anyway, we are desperate because our family can't get by, so our father castrated us, just so that we can have a way to live in the future and not starve to death......"

This is the memory of Chen Mo's body, but Zhao Haochen in later generations is also from a peasant family, although he can't open the pot, but he is definitely not rich, he empathizes with this, and at this moment, his eyes involuntarily moistened: "When we left home, many people in the village had starved to death, and now seven or eight years have passed, and there is no news, and I don't know what happened to the family, our father and mother, who knows if he is still alive......"

"Don't say anything," Li Tianyou's eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "We understand what you mean, we were wrong!" ”

"The peaks are like gathering, and the waves are like fury. Mountains and rivers surface Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer! Chen Mo suddenly remembered Zhang Yanghao's song "Hillside Goat", and couldn't help but chant out, sighed, and suddenly felt a little sad.

"Shaoyan, you are different from us people, we know that you are an ambitious person, but even if you can do the palm seal of the celebrant and uphold the government, what can you do? Our identity is destined to be immortal, unless...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, this topic is too far, you still have to pass the level of King Lu first to be serious. ”

Chen Mo was betrayed by Li Tianyou, and his heart was a little itchy, but he knew that in the heart of the person who sold Guanzi, the more you asked, the more he didn't say, if you didn't ask, he would take the initiative to tell you later. So he didn't ask, just nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's better to pass the current level first." ”

"What the hell do you want to do?" Li Tianyou couldn't help it, and asked again.

"I really want to know?" Chen Mo glanced at Li Tianyou with a smile, and when he saw him nodding again and again, he asked, "Brother Tianyou, how many years older than us, you are well-informed, have you ever heard that people can fly?" ”
