Chapter 282: Reward
Goose feathers can be made into pen writing?
Queen Ma was interested, watching Zhu Yuanzhang holding goose feathers, dipped in ink, and quickly writing words one by one on rice paper, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it was hard for her to imagine that goose feathers could also be made into pen writing.
And the speed of writing with a quill is even faster than with a brush.
However, she also saw that the writing with a quill pen is fast, and the artistic conception of calligraphy is far worse than that of writing with a brush.
"Girl, what do you think of what we wrote?" After Zhu Yuanzhang wrote two lines of words on rice paper, he stopped, turned sideways slightly, and showed off a little.
"Your handwriting, it's okay!"
Queen Ma glanced at the words on the rice paper, and then looked at the quill pen in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and said in surprise: "It's this quill pen, it's very strange. It's the first time I've seen a pen made of goose feathers."
"This quill pen is made by Lan Bin!"
As she spoke, she looked at Lan Bin who was waiting on the side, and in her impression, Lan Bin's skill was much stronger than his ability to read.
Things like allicin, clothing mirrors, soaps, etc., were all invented by Lan Bin.
And Lan Bin's reading is not satisfactory. ap.
Lan Bin is also thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and among the children of the same age of those scholars, he can recite poems and write poems correctly, and Lan Bin has only finished learning one of the four books of Analects in the main hall.
Fortunately, Lan Bin is from a noble background, and he doesn't need to rely on studying to gain fame.
If Lan Bin was from the scholar clan, she felt that Lan Bin needed to find another way.
"The quill pen was indeed made by this kid Lan Bin, but the quill was made by us for him!"
Lan Bin was just about to salute, but when he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang took the first step and corrected, "Lan Bin boy, you said yes!"
"That's right, if it weren't for the emperor, the minister wouldn't have thought of making a quill!"
Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and complained in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang put gold on his face, but he still agreed with it seriously.
After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't asked him to copy the Analects within a limited time, he would not have thought of making a quill pen to copy the Analects.
In this way, the appearance of the quill pen really has a credit to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Lan Bin, and she could see the Tao in it. But she didn't say anything about it, but said, "Although the words written with this quill pen are far worse than the calligraphy in terms of artistic conception, according to my observation, the font written with the quill pen is very small, which can save a lot of paper."
"If it can be used on the official paper of the various yamen of the imperial court, it can save a lot of expenses for the imperial court."
"Sister, let's go together!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "We have asked this kid Lan Bin to write a method of making quills, and then let the workshop make a batch and send it to six parts for trial."
Queen Ma smiled undeniably and said, "In this way, Lan Bin has made another contribution to the imperial court, so I don't know how the emperor is going to reward Lan Bin?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was choked up, although he planned to promote quills in the six ministries of the imperial court and save money on the six official papers. But he didn't think about rewarding Lan Bin.
First, he didn't think that Lan Bin had much credit for inventing the quill pen. Second, Lan Bin is a royal prince, and it is natural to do something small for the court, where can he be rewarded.
However, he also knew that Queen Ma suddenly mentioned the reward, which seemed to be asking for a reward for Lan Bin, but it was actually a disguised compensation for Lan Bin.
After all, he punished Lan Bin for copying the Analects three times, and although he covered up the past, he couldn't escape Queen Ma's eyes, but he didn't debunk it.
He knows this.
Thinking about it, he smiled and said, "If you don't mention it, sister, we all forgot." Lan Bin has made a meritorious contribution to the invention of the quill pen, and he has rewarded 100 pieces of treasure money and 10 pieces of cloth!"
It's worthy of Zhu Laojiao!
The quill pen is a far-reaching invention, and it is only a hundred pieces of treasure money and ten pieces of cloth?
The emperors of several dynasties, on the first emperor in history, it is none other than you Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and was once again shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's slamming the door.
