After Yinzhen finished speaking, he saw that his emperor Ama was silent, and he knew a little in his heart what his emperor Ama thought.

Civilizing the people's wisdom, if he hadn't dreamed of it for a hundred years, he wouldn't have said it, but if he didn't say it, he had to say it.

"Huang Ama, this pencil costs less than a penny, the refill inside can be replaced, and the cost of the refill is lower than the pencil, the pencil writes out the handwriting is small, and it is not easy to stain the paper like ink, so writing with a pencil, even if you use ordinary bamboo paper, it will not hinder, and you can save a lot of paper by writing with a pencil......"

After Yinzhen finished speaking, Kangxi nodded, undeniable, what he said was right.

It's just that he still has concerns.

For example, there are mostly Han people today, and he is afraid that after the people are enlightened, the people will be used by people with intentions, and then they will cut themselves with knives.

"Do you know what happens if people read too much?"

Yin Zhen nodded, he naturally knew.

He also had an idea about this matter: "Erchen understands, Erchen still has an idea. ”

"You say."

"Erchen felt the need to rewrite the book for enlightenment."

Kangxi was puzzled: "Why is this so?" ”

"The retainers said something straightforward, and I hope that the emperor Ama will forgive his sins."

"I forgive you for your innocence."

"Huang Ama advocated the Manchu and Han families, and Erchen felt that the real Manchu and Han families must let the Han people accept the Manchus, so that they themselves can understand that whether they are Han people or Manchus, they are all descendants of Yan Huang."

"People always say that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, but if the book says that the Mongols, Manchus and Han are the same kind, then the people will also understand that whether it is the Manchus or the Mongols, they are the same ancestors as the Han people."

"Moreover, Erchen believes that if Huang Ama can make the people of the world feel that they can afford to read by working hard to earn money, in this way, the people will work hard to live, and the people will have a head, so they will naturally be grateful to Huang Amma."

Yinzhen knows him very well and has a good reputation.

Gratitude to all nations.

It is undeniable that Kangxi has a disappointment, but he still can't make a decision.

Yin Zhen continued: "Adults have a lot of ideas, and it is not easy to control, but children are different, they are just blank sheets of paper, and they need the outside world to add ink and color to them. ”

When Kangxi heard this, he was even more moved.

After a long while, Kangxi said, "I'll talk about this later." ”

Yin Zhen understands that he is interested in this matter, but he can't make up his mind, after all, it is not a trivial matter.

Kangxi: "But is there anything else?" ”

It's okay to go, I listened to him talk for a long time, although they are all useful things, but my brain hurts a little when I listen to them.

Yinzhen is really true.

"Erchen has another thing to tell Huang Ama."

Kangxi: "You say." ”

He thought to himself that this time it shouldn't be a big deal.

Yinzhen took a pencil and wrote out the Arabic numerals.

Kangxi frowned: "What is this?" ”

Yin Zhen spoke: "Back to the emperor Ama, this is an Arabic numeral." ”

Kangxi was puzzled: "Arabic numerals? ”

What the hell?

Yinzhen explained: "Hui Huang Ama, this Arabic numeral is a kind of number invented by the ancient Indians and later spread by the Arabs, and these characters correspond to one two or three Wulu ......"

After speaking, Yinzhen also wrote a string of five-digit numbers, using one two or three...... Chinese characters to write, Yinzhen wrote a large string, with Arabic numerals only a simple small string, very easy to write, but also easy to read.

In the end, Yin Zhen said: "Erchen thinks that this character is very useful and can be popularized, how about the emperor's intentions?" ”

Kangxi has been listening, although he also thinks that this Arabic number is good, but after all, it is a foreign thing, and he always feels that he is the best.

So he was still a little hesitant.

Yinzhen: ......

Yinzhen saw that his emperor Ama was sick again, thinking that he was sick of the heavenly kingdom and arrogant.

Yinzhen: "Huang Ama, Erchen once heard that there is a village, there are many rich families in the village, but there is only one family that has been rich, and the biggest difference between this family and others is that their family is very good at learning what other families know, and then turning it into their own things, and then maintaining their prosperity forever." ”

This metaphor Yinzhen said a bit boldly, Kangxi just frowned when he heard it, but he was not angry.

Hearing this, Kangxi nodded: "Arabic numerals are feasible." ”

Yinzhen asked again: "What about the pencil implementation?" ”

Kangxi was a little hesitant, he asked Yinzhen: "If I agree, what do you think?" ”

"Erchen wants the court to do this pencil business, and when the time comes, he can make less money, and Erchen wants the people of the world to understand that it is the emperor Ama who governs well so that the people can read wisely."

When Kangxi heard this, it was fake if he wasn't moved.

In the end, Yinzhen left the Qianqing Palace, and Kangxi still had to think about it.

Yinzhen is not in a hurry, he believes in him and can't refuse the "temptation".

Yinzhen went back and waited for the news, and at the same time took the Arabic numerals to the household department.

If the Arabic numerals were to be said directly in public, those old and pedantic officials would probably start to criticize them as foreign objects and could not be used before they saw its usefulness.

But the household department is different, and the household department deals with silver a lot, so it is a little more "vulgar" than other departments.

Because there are many kinds of data in the household, after the Arabic numerals were brought in by Yinzhen, after using them, they instantly got the "support" of everyone, especially the more they are used, the more convenient they feel.

At the very least, it's a lot quicker to write.

Most of the official documents of the household department are some cumbersome numbers, these numbers are written in Chinese characters, and a long series of them must be written as soon as they are written, and now there are Arabic numerals, which can save a lot of time.

Recently, the household officials have been on a business trip for half an hour earlier than usual.

In the past, it was good for the officials of the household department not to work overtime, and it was rare to go on a business trip in advance.

This unusual behavior of the household department was discovered by colleagues in other departments within two days.

Now that they have found out, it is inevitable to inquire about the reason, and then the Arabic numerals spread.

Those who can be Beijing officials, there is no special stupidity, and I can see that this Arabic numeral is indeed very useful, and I asked carefully, and found that if the Arabic numerals are used in the account room of the house, it is also possible.

Then Arabic numerals began to be used from the household department, and then the officials in the capital used it, and the capital was so big, and everyone had a little relatives with their relatives.

From time to time, everything in the capital that could use numbers was basically replaced with Arabic numerals.

In addition, there are many merchants in the capital, and merchants are everywhere, and this Arabic numeral is spreading more and more, because it is easy to use, and it does not even need to be implemented by the imperial court, and it has gradually become a common sense.

Of course, this was all something that happened later.

Nowadays, Arabic numerals only cause fluctuations in a small area of the capital.

Kangxi is thinking about what Yinzhen said about enlightening the people, of course, no matter what, this pencil is to be produced, but at what price this pencil will be sold is also a question.

Harem, where the concubine is appropriate.

Because the concubines of the same rank in the harem were not favored by her, she gained face in front of the queen mother, so her life was very comfortable.

It may be that the comfortable life has been too long, and her son can't see it, so he finds something for her.

Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu would beg her in front of Concubine Yi: "Eniang, even if you kill your son, your son will also be in business." ”
