"Quill?"

After a long time, everyone came to their senses and exclaimed in unison.

"Let's eat first, eat your stomach, I'm explaining it to you carefully."

And the people began to eat.

The big goose stewed with spring plum and spring orchid tastes very good.

Let everyone have a great appetite.

After lunch, the boiled goose feathers have also been dried in the sun.

The reason why Li Gen wanted Chunmei and Chunlan to boil the goose feathers in boiling water.

One is for disinfection, and the other main reason is that the boiled goose feathers will be more tenacious and elastic.

Li Gen takes a goose feather.

took out the knife that let Cheng bite the gold and go to the Ministry of Industry to make it carefully.

In this era, it was beyond Li Gen's expectations to be able to create such a knife.

Li Yuan and Kong Yingda stared at Li Gen without squinting.

Changle and Wu Cao also looked curious and expectant.

Carefully remove the fluff from the root of the goose feathers.

Li Gen began to sharpen the nib.

It's a proper technical job.

After several failures, Li Genfang succeeded in making a satisfying quill pen.

"Lele, dip the ink and try it, don't push too hard!"

Changle happily took the quill pen, and Wu Cao shook it to fetch the ink.

"Sister, Ink ......"

Changle spread out the paper, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

In an instant, Kong Yingda and Li Yuan's eyes widened.

Is that okay too?

Changle's handwriting with a quill pen is about the same size as the handwriting of Li Gen's engraved books.

Li Yuan and Kong Yingda took a deep breath, and both of them knew that this quill pen came out.

However, ink and paper are greatly saved.

What's even worse is to look at the speed of Changle's writing.

This is much faster than the speed of writing with a brush.

"Wu Cao, this is for you."

Li Gen quickly made another quill pen and handed it to Wu Cao on the side.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Wu Cao happily took the quill pen, sat opposite Changle, took a piece of rice paper, and began to write.

Kong Yingda's eyes widened again in an instant.

This girl is actually writing about the moonlit night of the Spring River!

And it's all in one go!

Talent!

It's a pity, it's a girl!

When I learned from Li Gen's mouth that this girl was the second daughter of the Governor of Jingzhou, Wu Shitong.

Kong Yingda couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

If she can stay, she must have a lot to do with the Emperor.

After all, the friendship between Wushi Tong and Emperor Li Yuan, as one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, Kong Yingda is still very clear.

Li Gen, who is getting more and more comfortable, sharpens the tip of the pen faster and faster.

The goose feathers of the two geese, after consumption, the finished product has fifty-two.

"Can the old man take two quills?"

Kong Yingda's words made Li Gen smile and nod and said.

"Master Kong will take it casually, and the younger generation will continue to make it tomorrow, such a quill pen, although the writing speed is fast, the production cost is low, and it saves paper."

"It also has its own shortcomings, that is, durability, far inferior to the brush, but the younger generation feels that those advantages are enough to make up for this shortcoming!"

"After all, one day, the younger generation will make a durable dipping pen!"

Kong Yingda put away the two quill pens carefully.

For Li Gen's ability to constantly create surprises, Li Yuan felt that he was completely acceptable.

After a cup of tea.

Li Gen and Kong Yingda walked towards the academy.

The two walked into the academy and found that it was quiet.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and went straight to the school.

Hey!

Li Gen looked inside the school.

Above everyone's desk, there is a stack of books.

Who's so positive? I also blame myself for forgetting to send out the books in dormitory No. 1 in the morning.

"Dean, Ling Wu found that there are fifty sets of books in the No. 1 dormitory, and I think the dean prepared them for us."

"Dean, Ling Wu, as the class leader of the school, decided to distribute the books to everyone."

Chai Lingwu got up and spoke.

Li Gen smiled and nodded, and spoke.

"Your squad leader, what you did today is worthy of both praise and criticism."

"The reason why he is praised is because he is highly motivated and can think about what the dean thinks!"

"Do you know why you criticize him?"

There was silence in the school, and all the young men were silent.

"The reason why the dean criticized him was that he took matters into his own hands and distributed the books to everyone without the permission of the two deans."

"Squad leader Chai Lingwu, do you understand what the dean said?"

Chai Lingwu's cheeks flushed, lowered his head, and spoke.

"Dean, Ling Wu understands, he will never make decisions in the future and move the things of the academy."

Li Gen smiled and nodded, took out fifty quills, and asked Chai Lingwu to distribute them to everyone.

Chai Lingwu took the quill and immediately began to distribute it.

Li Gen briefly talked about the use of quill pens and precautions.

Let the young man redden, and his cheeks flushed with excitement.

"In the first class below, I would like to invite Dean Kong to tell you about the Analects."

When Master Kong was lecturing, Li Gen also moved a stool and sat in the aisle of the school.

These teenagers have all read some books to some extent.

Otherwise, you will not be admitted to the college.

Master Kong is worthy of a generation of great Confucians, and when it comes to the Analects, there is no need to look through books at all.

All kinds of Confucian classics are even more handy.

Let Li Gen also listen to it with relish.

Master Kong gave a lecture for half an hour.

According to the time agreed with Li Gen in advance, Master Kong announced the end of class and a quarter of an hour break between classes.

The teenagers can also take a walk in the college to move their limbs.

Li Gen found that more teenagers were looking through books.

This made Li Gen deeply gratified.

Li Gen and Master Kong returned to the room where they were resting. (For the convenience of everyone, it will be referred to as the office in the future.) ）

Kong Yingda watched Li Gen pick up a black wooden plank, and was suddenly surprised.

He didn't know why Li Gen painted the planks black.

(Note, don't doubt the wisdom of the ancients, our ancestors, discovered thousands of years ago and started using lacquer, and the history of paint is also more than 1,500 years old!) ）

"Dean Kong, the younger generation uses it as a teaching tool, which is both practical and simple!"

Seeing the look of doubt in Master Kong's eyes, Li Gen opened his mouth to explain.

"Use it as a teaching tool?"

The look of doubt on Kong Yingda's face became more and more intense.

Li Gen smiled and explained to Master Kong the role and benefits of the blackboard.

And take out the homemade chalk and write a few words on the blackboard.

Call!

Kong Yingda's face flushed with excitement, and his breath became short.

The white chalk, the handwriting, is flawlessly presented on the black wooden board.

Today, less than a day, Li Gen brought him one surprise after another!

As a generation of Confucianism!

Kong Yingda knows too well that the use of quills, blackboards, and chalk has too great a role in promoting teaching.

What he didn't expect even more was that!

Li Gen's first class was so shocking to everyone.

Not only is he a young man, but he is dumbfounded!

Kong Yingda couldn't sit still.

He stood up, his eyes fixed on the blackboard, ten strange symbols he had never seen before!

Li Gen smiled and looked at the young men with a look of astonishment.

"Students, Your Majesty specially asked me to open this champion college."

"As the dean, I naturally hope that all of you can be the top in high school."

"However, there is only one champion in the imperial examination every year, and today's Son of Heaven is in urgent need of talents from all walks of life."

"These ten numbers on today's blackboard will be called Tang numbers in the future!"

"Everyone has more or less come into contact with arithmetic books such as "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Island Sutra", "Five Cao Sutras", "Sun Tzu Sutras", "Five Cao Arithmetic", "Fixations" and other arithmetic books."

"In a few days, these books will be engraved and distributed to everyone to study."

"The reason why these numbers are written on the blackboard is that everyone knows and learns first."

"Because using these numbers, with those arithmetic textbooks to learn, the calculation speed is not only faster and more convenient, but also the efficiency is improved, and the use of these numbers will be much more convenient whether it is bookkeeping, counting items, and accounting materials!"

“………”

Li Gen talked eloquently, Kong Yingda and a young man listened very carefully and seriously.

"Although the champion of the imperial examination is beautiful, it is also a joy to get the Ming Jing and Jinshi."

However, Datang is also in urgent need of professionals in arithmetic and law. So I decided after consulting with Dean Kong. ”

"It takes one to three months to discover everyone's interests and strengths."

"Dean Kong and I both hope that the first batch of students of our champion college will be able to participate in the imperial examination next year."

"I also encourage everyone to apply for professional subjects such as applying for the exam, Shufa, Ming Arithmetic and Ming Shu."

Li Gen's words made Kong Yingda nod her head with great satisfaction.

"Students, Dean Kong and I hope that you can learn and excel, and I hope that you will be able to learn and be useful in the future!"

Li Gen's voice landed, and the school burst into warm applause.

"Alright, let's start the official class......"

……………

When Kong Yingda left the academy, his expression was excited for a long time.

Riding in the carriage, Kong Yingda went straight to Chang'an City.

By the time Kong Yingda arrived at the palace, it was already dusk.

"Your Majesty, Master Kong asks to see you!"

Listening to the words of Li Delu, the chief attendant, Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

"Let Master Kong wait for me in the imperial study, I will be there later!"

Today is the opening day of Zhuangyuan College, and Li Shimin has not been able to go to the school to witness it with his own eyes, and he has always felt regretful in his heart.

Kong Yingda came, and Li Shimin knew that it must have been Li Gen who made another amazing move.

Li Shimin left the Ganlu Hall and walked quickly to the imperial study.

"Minister, see Your Majesty!"

"Zhongda, please be seated!"

Li Shimin stepped into the imperial study and smiled and motioned for Kong Yingda to take a seat.

"Zhongda, the academy starts today, Zhongda must be very hard!"

"Your Majesty is serious, and it is Your Highness who is hard. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has brought a great surprise to the ministers today, and I think Your Majesty will be very happy to come. ”

"So, minister, after leaving the academy, I went straight to the palace."

After listening to Kong Yingda's words, Li Shimin said with great joy.

"Zhongda, what's the surprise? Hurry up and come to me! ”

Kong Yingda carefully took out the two quill pens from the sleeve.

Li Shimin took the quill and looked at it repeatedly.

Although there were many speculations in his heart, Li Shimin did not expect that this was a pen that could write.

"Your Majesty, this is a quill pen, it is made by His Royal Highness himself, Her Royal Highness Princess, use this quill pen to write on the spot, this quill pen is used, than the speed of writing with a brush, but it is several times higher, and it is more economical ink and paper."

Li Shimin listened to Kong Yingda's words.

Spread out the rice paper, dip it in ink, hold the quill in your hand, and start writing.

"Your Majesty, the posture of holding the pen with a quill pen should be different from that of a brush!"

Kong Yingda gave a little guidance, and Li Shimin grasped the main points.

It felt a little awkward, but when I started writing.

Li Shimin couldn't stop in an instant.

"Good, good, that's great!"

"With this quill pen, many young men in my Datang Dynasty will no longer be troubled by not being able to afford a brush."

"As Zhong Da said, this pen is convenient to write, saving paper and ink, I am very relieved, I am very relieved!"

Li Shimin carefully inquired about the method of making a quill pen.

Because Kong Yingda has been investigating carefully, and making a quill is very simple, Kong Yingda told Li Shimin in detail how to make it.

At the same time, do not forget to tell you to boil it in boiling water for about a quarter of an hour.

Li Shimin kept them in mind one by one and asked again, are there any other surprises?

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Eavesdropping ministers, take your time one by one! ”

………

Winter, winter, winter, winter......

Chang'an County Ya and Wannian County Ya, the drums of the curfew sounded.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin was still concentrating, listening to Kong Yingda.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother let the little one pass the word, and the dinner has been heated three times."

"Oh, bring dinner to the imperial study, tell the imperial dining room, prepare more, I want to eat with Master Kong in the imperial study."

Soon dinner was delivered to the imperial dining room.

"Zhongda, let's have dinner first, and after dinner, Zhongda will continue to talk to me!"

Li Shimin was so happy in his heart.

Originally, his own children's skills have been almost discovered.

Who knows, his skills are simply impossible to figure out.

In just this short day, she is as calm as Kong Yingda, and she has been excited several times like rain.

Li Shimin ate quickly, because he wanted to listen to Kong Yingda talk about the roots and the things in the school.

Kong Yingda chewed slowly unhurriedly.

After Li Shimin was full, he kept looking at Kong Yingda, and he was embarrassed to urge others, hurry up, hurry up!

Feeling Li Shimin, eager anticipation, and even a slightly hot gaze.

Kong Yingda had to interrupt the meal, and it was a big deal to go home and nibble on another steamed cake.

Half an hour later!

Li Shimin's people were still unfinished, and after listening to Kong Yingda's explanation.

"Zhongda, it's not too early, I asked Junxian to send you home."

Accompanied by Li Junxian, Kong Yingda left the imperial study.

Now Chang'an City has already passed the curfew time.

Accompanied by Li Junxian, Kong Yingda could return to the mansion unhindered.
