Chapter 142: Mechanical Pencil

After Tong Cheng'er discovered Yinzhen's "new face", she couldn't look directly at it at first, but Yinzhen has recently been arguing with people all day long, and the thickness of her face has increased visibly.

He thought that Xiao Fujin had already broken up with his image anyway, so he simply didn't want the image at all, and then Tong Cheng'er found that the person was still the same person, and the inside was like a different one, and he was "stalking" to her.

was pestered, Tong Cheng'er was used to it.

She has been able to accept that she is married to a person who is cold on the surface, but is actually an idiot and shameless.

What about the ruin, they are all married, how can they still be divorced!

Make do with it!

The main thing is inseparable.

However, after Yinzhen's personality collapsed, in order to eliminate the little mind in Tong Cheng'er's heart, Yinzhen made a concession on the bed.

For example, Tong Cheng'er rarely tried the feeling of dominance, although she was a little tired, but she was still ......

Ahem...... It's pretty cool.

So in Yinzhen's language, action, and meticulous strategy in all aspects, what else can Tong Cheng'er do?

Choosing to forgive him, of course.

Of course, this is the forgiveness that Yinzhen thinks, in fact, Tong Cheng'er didn't blame him, but he didn't know.

Tong Cheng'er didn't want him to know that men can't be too used to it, they are too ruthless, and it's easy to float.

That's not good.

After such a toss, the life of the two has returned to the past, but it seems that there is something more, and I feel that the two are more compatible in their hearts.

Some things can understand the meaning of the other party with a glance at each other, which can be said to be a heart-to-heart connection.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Tong Cheng'er married Yinzhen for two months.

There are two major events worth mentioning in these two months.

The first thing is the problem of borrowing money from the household that Yinzhen has always been concerned about.

After internal discussions again and again, the specific measures have been approved by the nod of Emperor Ama and officially begun to be implemented.

Although there are not too many officials who have repaid the loans, some have begun to take the initiative to repay the loans.

It's a good thing to have such a beginning.

Not only that, but now there are very few officials who borrow money from the household department, after all, the number of times they can borrow silver for their functions in their lives is limited, and it is not a critical time, borrowing silver is a waste of opportunity.

In this way, the household department can be regarded as opening up sources and reducing expenditure.

Less money was lent than ever, and more money was repaid than ever.

Of course, the main thing is that it can't be repaid.

Yinzhen specially added an article to the policy, if the official does not repay within the specified time, he will be included in a list of dishonest people, and those who are included in the list will be suspended for three months, and if they do not repay the loan after three months, the suspension will directly become unemployed.

Later, some people didn't believe it, and many officials just didn't pay it back, and then they really lost their jobs.

This list of dishonest persons came to be known as the most inaccessible blacklist in officialdom.

At the same time, it was also the first time that Qing officials saw the means of the fourth elder brother.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did a good job that time, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs was more of a family affair of the royal family, and except for the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, people outside did not feel it deeply.

The second thing is the pencil.

Driven by the silver, the five craftsmen of Kitkat came up with a brainstorming and unexpectedly crafting an ancient version of the mechanical pencil.

It's really the same mechanical pencil as modern times, it's the kind of mechanical pencil that can be used for a year and a half when you press twice, don't lose a pen, and buy a box of pencil refills.

Along with mechanical pencils, springs are companions.

Tong Cheng'er didn't expect the spring to be made out by them.

The first version of the mechanical pencil made a total of twenty, twenty with some different shells, because it is a wooden shell, plus there are craftsmen who are good at wood carving, so twenty pencils, each delicate and beautiful.

If Tong Cheng'er is to look at it, this is much better than the pencils she used in modern times.

After the matter of the household department, Kangxi paid more attention to the problem of the household silver, and Yinzhen said some views in front of Kangxi from time to time about opening up sources and reducing expenditure.

Seeing this, Yinzhen mentioned the matter of doing business in the imperial court, Kangxi heard that he directly rejected Yinzhen's proposal, and Yinzhen didn't mind, and he didn't plan to do it at one time, just take your time.

Just as he was about to take his time, Tong Cheng'er put the twenty mechanical pencils in front of him.

I asked about the cost, very good, although the price of a single pencil is higher, but this kind of mechanical pencil, one can be worth a lot, and as long as it is not broken, it can be used all the time.

Then Yinzhen took ten pencils and went to the Qianqing Palace.

"Huang Ama, Erchen Fujin asked the craftsmen in the house to drum up a thing, Erchen felt that this thing has the purpose of benefiting the people of the world, and presented it to Huang Ama for a look."

Kangxi knew that he was a pragmatic person, and since he said so, it must not be empty words, so he said: "What makes you praise it so much, I have to take a good look." ”

Yin Zhen presented ten mechanical pencils.

Kangxi had never seen a pencil and didn't know what he was presenting, so he asked him, "What is the use of this thing?" ”

It looks small, slender and long, and the carving on it is good, Kangxi can't see what it is for.

Yin Zhen: "Mr. Liang brought a piece of paper. ”

"Erchen will show Huang Ama the usefulness of this thing."

Liang Jiugong took out the paper, Yinzhen took out a pencil, pressed it twice skillfully, the refill came out a little too much, and gently pressed it on the table twice, and then he began to write on the paper.

The words that come out are small.

Kangxi already understood at this time that what Yinzhen presented was a pen for writing.

Yinzhen quickly wrote an ancient text, Kangxi looked at the handwriting on it, it was not ink black, but a little grayish black, except for small dots, the words written were similar to the regular script written with a brush.

What Kangxi can see at a glance is that this kind of pen will save paper.

But if he can only save paper, Yinzhen will not say that this thing can benefit the people of the world, then this money should still be of use to him who does not know.

Kangxi said directly: "Tell me about the use of this money." ”

A pen can benefit the people of the world, Kangxi doesn't believe it, but it is his most stable and pragmatic son who said this.

He'd have to listen to what he has to say.

Yinzhen didn't speak, he first took a portrait from Su Peisheng, that portrait was a sketch that Tong Cheng'er painted for Yinzhen later, this painting was more realistic than the first time he painted it.

After all, Tong Cheng'er has taught several students, and while the students have learned, she has also improved a lot.

"Huang Ama, you can take a look at this portrait first."

Kangxi took the portrait, glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened, and then he looked at the portrait carefully, and then looked at Yinzhen, and so on several times before he stopped.

Kangxi put down the portrait and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: "This portrait was painted with this one?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "Exactly." ”

What Yinzhen can see, it makes no sense that Kangxi can't see it, this sketch avatar is almost exactly the same as a real person, not to mention it, it will be much easier to get a wanted criminal.

Kangxi nodded: "If this is the case, this thing can be regarded as worthy of the name of benefiting the people." ”

But it should not benefit the name of the people of the world.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Zhen continued: "Erchen still has something to say. ”

And also?

"Say it."

"This pencil can be used to enlighten children all over the world."

Enlightenment?

Kangxi didn't have the idea that education was fundamental, and even, as a Manchu in power, he was not happy that all the people could be civilized.

The more books the people read, the easier things become, and now, although the people are illiterate, they just need to be fed and clothed.
