Su Li took Hui Zhi to the south study, and Li Dequan was waiting at the door, "Su Fujin, you are here." ”

"Li Chenda, why did you come out and wait?" Su Li hurriedly greeted him, regardless of anything else, no matter how he said that the people were older, and made a serious knee bow.

"Well, Lord Lang is here, and the slave is just here to greet him." Li Dequan hurriedly returned the salute, it seems that only Su Li would salute himself so seriously. Thinking about it again, it should be the nobles and princes in this palace, except for Su Li's mother and son, no one will salute him.

"Lord Lang?" Su Li thought about it, and it seemed that he had never heard of an adult surnamed Lang, and if there was a foreign minister, it seemed that it was not appropriate for him to go in now.

"It's a foreigner, originally a missionary, but later I heard that he could paint, so the emperor would keep him."

"Can I go in now?" Su Li thought about it, it sounded familiar, but she didn't bother to ask at this time, look at him,

"Of course, the emperor said, you go directly." Li Dequan clapped his hands and teased Hui Zhi, although he didn't like Hui Zhi as much as he liked the baby, but he loved the house and Wu, and he was better for her than other children.

"Thank you!" Su Li smiled and led Hui Zhi in.

Kangxi was frowning and looking at a painting, there was a foreigner standing next to him, he looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember, she didn't have the heart to think about it, and kowtowed in a regular manner, Kangxi saw them coming, smiled and waved, Hui Zhi was like Meng Dahe, climbed on the kang, and just saw the painting in Kangxi's hand.

"Brother!" Hui Zhi pointed to the painting and said to Su Li, Su Li was stunned for a moment, stretched out her head to take a look, it turned out to be an oil painting, the painting was a little Chinese boy, although Su Li couldn't paint, but she had seen a few oil paintings, it looked pretty good, the contrast between light and dark was very sharp, and the child looked very realistic.

"You're here." Kangxi looked at Su Li watching. handed it to her, picked it up, and brought her jujube cake.

"You don't like it?" Su Li took a look. The site may be white satin. It doesn't feel like a canvas grain. But with a delicate shine.

"The foreigner's painting skills seem to be straightforward." There was no one next to Kangxi.

Su Li thought about it. There was no camera at this time. Oil painting is not about realism. Impressionism is not yet alive! She smiled. Probably for Kangxi. He prefers the beauty of the artistic conception of Chinese painting.

"Each has its own merits. Chinese painting is based on the beauty of artistic conception. Oil painting wins with reality. Su Li put the painting back on the kang table with both hands.

"That's right!" Kangxi originally wanted to despise Lang Shiningdi. I can listen to what Su Li said. I also feel that although I don't like it. But it seems that he is a little narrow-minded. Pointing to Lang Shining. Ask Su Li. "Do you still know each other?"

Su Li had no choice but to take another look. Think about where you've seen any foreigners. Except for that...... Thought of it. Su Li laughed. The one who said that his pasta was their foreigner.

"You didn't go back to Italy?"

"Fujin is fine. The villain went back and came back again. Lang Shining had already heard Su Lidi's voice, and bowed with a smile.

"Yes, the Great Qing Kingdom is an ancient and colorful country, and you will have something." Su Li smiled faintly.

"The villain thinks that the noodles made by Fujin are more delicious than those made in my country."

"That's obvious." Su Li laughed.

"What a child!" Kangxi laughed. Su Li lowered her head and pursed her lips and laughed, "This is Lang Shining, even if you know each other today." Lang Shining, that telescope of yours was changed by this daughter-in-law of mine, be smart! ”

"The villain has already guessed that the wisdom of Fujin is not something that the villain can think of." Lang Shining smiled, not surprised at all.

Su Li was stunned, how could she forget Lang Shining? She has seen the documentary of "Old Summer Palace", the big water method that has caused countless war of words in later generations, and legend has it that he designed it.

"Why did you come by yourself? What about the fourth? Kangxi waited for a long time and didn't see Yin. He asked.

"It's a little bit at home. I'm afraid you're in a hurry, so let the slave come first. Look at the memory of the slave and maid, and the excerpt for you is in the master's place. I forgot to come over, if you want it now, the slave can write another copy. ”

"Tell me when I wrote it. Let Lang Shining listen to it too, so that he always wants to persuade me to allow him to preach, and he also wants me to know how good foreign art is. ”

"Hehe......" Su Li laughed, she had seen the question of Kangxi and the Roman Curia in several books, so she didn't bother to ask, anyway, she didn't believe in religion, it had nothing to do with her, but it would be nice if Lang Shining could stay and do something. Su Li thought about it and pointed to the oil painting, "Mr. Lang, what do you use to hit the ground?" Is it charcoal bars that you brought yourself or what? ”

"I brought it from Rome." Lang Shining took out the charcoal strip from his pocket and handed it to Su Li, Su Li took it and tried it on the rice paper on the side, it didn't feel very clear, it might be better to use it on a slightly stiffer board. She handed the charcoal strip to Kangxi.

"There are good things that Mr. Lang has brought, and this is it. You see, this is charcoal, if we can make it, sometimes write some notes or something outside, we don't have to go through the trouble of holding ink cartridges and brushes. This is actually a cheap thing, and it is also a good choice for children from poor families to learn to write. ”

"You're talking about pencils." Lang Shining corrected on the side.

"Got a pencil now?" Su Li was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, Germany already has a pencil factory, made of graphite and wooden handles, which is better than my charcoal bar."

"Will you do it?"

"The principle is not difficult, but the villain doesn't know whether the Qing Dynasty has graphite."

"Pencils are made of graphite?" Su Li was dumbfounded, she always thought that pencils were made of lead, otherwise how could they be called pencils.

Lang Shining was also dumbfounded, he thought that Su Li knew the origin, but it turned out that it was not. Thinking about the origin of the pencil, it is too long, and I can't tell it for a while, so I have to avoid the heavy and light.

"Yes, if Fujin wants to find it, how about the villain write back and find a few specialists?" Lang Shining himself doesn't, he doesn't dare to work indiscriminately.

Lang Shining won't, but it doesn't mean that others won't, Su Li hurriedly turned around and looked at Kangxi.

"Prospecting?" Kangxi was stunned for a moment, why did he mention prospecting, try that charcoal bar, and he can't draw it clearly, what's the use of this? Not to mention. Mining has always been a special camp of the court, and if people come to explore, it will always feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, of course you think it's not as good as your pen, but...... Angelica Vulgaris. You write. Su Li motioned to Hui Zhi, Hui Zhi could only use a few simple words, and she was busy showing Kangxi white, and she couldn't hold the pen well, just like holding chopsticks, she wrote a few words crookedly, and Su Li looked at the steamed buns on the side. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, I wiped it twice on the place where Hui Zhi painted, and the effect was not obvious, but it could be seen that some of it had been erased. Kangxi take a look. Instead, he thought, "You mean, this can be easily erased?" ”

"Yes, it's used for drawing drawings and field work, and it's also great for kids learning to write. China has a lot of land and resources, and graphite must be there, so looking for a few people to come back just to recognize what graphite is. Su Li further said that the last sentence was said to cater to Kangxi. Of course, to tell the truth, she doesn't know what graphite looks like, and she doesn't know what China will call it.

"That's right, the Great Qing Kingdom has everything." Kangxi nodded, this is what he is convinced of, Su Li sighed in his heart, but still smiled, "Then you just listen to Su Fujin's words and write a letter to call someone!" ”

"That, Your Majesty. It's all coming. Why don't you call more! Those who can make pencils and build houses. There are also those who can strike iron and make toys. That's right. There are also books, they also have books, why don't you bring some too, Li'er hasn't seen foreign books yet. ”

"Okay, what do you want, just tell Lang Shining, anyway, if you don't let him come, won't they come? It is also good to let them see the wealth of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi didn't care.

"That's obvious, slave maid heard that the royal family of Europe now looks up to you as a model!"

"Really?" Kangxi perked up and looked at Lang Shining expectantly, Lang Shining was not a fool, and immediately nodded sincerely.

"Villains often hear from nobles that the palace masquerade will be proud of being dressed up as a Qing countryman."

Kangxi laughed happily again, his self-confidence was satisfied again, and the rest of the words were easy to say, Lang Shining was given the task of introducing technology and talents, and in exchange, Kangxi allowed him to open a painting school, although he did not appreciate it.

Su Li didn't expect such a gain when she was in such a bad mood, I don't know if God saw a door closed, so he opened another one for her.

After she solved the problem of pencil and the introduction of talents from Europe, she formally talked about the office, because it was repeatedly scrutinized, she roughly said it, Kangxi and Lang Shining listened carefully, but it was a matter of strengthening management and improving efficiency, Su Li was used to speaking with charts, and took a slightly hard board paper with charcoal strips, and said while drawing, charcoal strips are really much easier to use than brushes, the lines are drawn straighter, and the words are written quickly, more than ten years of brush training, and now Su Li's words are better than in modern times. I was very moved when I looked at it.

"You mean, or is it mainly based on saving sources?" Kangxi thought that Su Li would bring up something fresh when she came today, but she didn't expect her to talk about it again.

"The slave and maid are really not familiar with the office, but what I thought of when I watched the master do the work that day, the masters all wanted to keep a hand, so the slave and the maid thought, since they are afraid that the apprentice will not have a master, it is better to divide the process into several links, and an apprentice will only teach one link. In this way, at least practice makes perfect, do everything quickly, and then these apprentices are in charge of a workshop, they are only responsible for that link, and finally put it together, and it can be mass-produced, rather than one by one. The best is for you, the other is for you to appreciate, and the worst is sold, but it's not money. Su Li smiled and took a deep breath, it was a job she liked, how could she be so tired, she felt that she was about to be exhausted.

"Oh!" Kangxi understood, and thought about it, "Is it the land in "Lü's Spring and Autumn", each performing its own duties? ”

"Or you read well." Su Li nodded hurriedly and laughed.
