My Daming New Empire

Is it just such a child who made such a fetish?Although this hang glider was made mainly because of Zhu Zhanji, it was deliberately ignored by Zhu Di.

Ma Di was held up by two servants, as if in a cloud of fog, no matter what Zhu Di asked, he answered them all in one hundred and fifty.

Although because of fear, it was inevitable that he would speak upside down, but because of his young age, Zhu Di did not blame him.

Knowing that this thing can be reproduced in large quantities, and that it only needs simple training to go to heaven, Zhu Di's mood is even better.

Before leaving, Zhu Di comforted him: "Don't feel resentful because of today's censure, and work hard in the future. I will not be able to live without the wealth and splendor of your Ma family."

Ma Di's arms were crossed, and he didn't have any image at all, but he still remembered the sentence he heard the most, and replied: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and I must take this as a warning, and work hard in the future."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "The grandson didn't open the mansion, so it's not fishy to give you the title of a professor in the palace. But you are still young, so I ordered you to be the ninth-rank ambassador of the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Industry."

Ma Di was a blessing in disguise, but Zhu Zhanji was completely sad.

The Book of Filial Piety has a total of more than 9000 characters, and ten times is more than 9 characters.This is not the era of hard pens. To write more than 9 characters with a brush, and to write neatly, this is probably a task that cannot be completed in a month!

When Zhu Zhanji practiced calligraphy when he was young, he only wrote three or four characters in about one minute.If you can write six characters now, you can only write three or four hundred characters in an hour.

Moreover, writing brush characters is still tiring, and I have to stop after writing for a while. I write for more than ten hours a day, but only three or four thousand words.

This is a full month to write.

After considering the amount of work, Zhu Zhanji decided to take out the pencil.

In his previous life, he had seen an exhibition of ancient European culture in Madrid, where he also saw the ancient method of making quill pens.

But the quill has no advantage over the pencil if the writing is not for long-term preservation.

First of all, the production of the quill pen is troublesome, it needs to be dipped in ink from time to time, and the nib is easily damaged.

Moreover, European characters are letters, so it is faster to write coherently.But the East uses square characters, one stroke at a time, writing such characters with a quill pen is a disaster at all.If the tip of the pen is not well sharpened, it can make holes in a piece of paper, and it is more laborious to use than a brush.

Therefore, pencils are really practical, and graphite is not difficult to find. In the Song Dynasty, ancient Chinese ink-making technology was already mature.

You only need to reduce the ingredients of glue and rosin in the ink produced now, and then make it into a long strip, and you can write directly.

When he wanted to give orders, he found that all the eunuchs around him were injured, so he could only let Jin Kuo, the great eunuch, go out.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's request, Jin Kuo nodded and said, "Originally, there is a warehouse of ink in the inner warehouse. Since His Highness has a special request, the old slave will go there. It's just that I'm afraid I can't make it in time today."

Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "I just want to cut corners, at least I have to copy an article seriously, otherwise, Grandpa Huang will really beat me."

After Jin Kuo left, Zhu Zhanji persuaded Zhang to leave on the grounds that he wanted to start writing.

Zhang Shi really has nothing to say to him, but her love is really a burden of happiness to him!

Xue Shanggong didn't ask others for help, and helped Zhu Zhanji study ink himself. "Your Highness, you have been mature since you were young, but the bigger you get, the more troublesome you become. Today, the Crown Princess is really scared."

"Okay, okay, Gu knows. I just sent my mother and concubine away, so don't talk anymore. Here comes the pen..."

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's impatient look with the black eye socket on the left, Xue Shanggong looked extraordinarily funny, so he couldn't help smiling. "Okay, the servant will stop talking, so as not to annoy His Highness."

Zhu Zhanji turned his head and glanced at her sideways. "How can I still hear a grievance, have you figured it out? By the way, don't we look like red sleeves now?"

Xue Shanggong was ashamed, dropped the ink and said: "The slaves have gone to replace the four romantic girls, come on, they all miss you too!"

(There were a lot of controversies in the last chapter, but this plot was conceived a long time ago. The first time you go to heaven, you can only be the protagonist, otherwise this invention would be impossible to promote.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhu Zhanji's requirements are not high, and making this ink stick is a piece of cake for the Ministry of Industry.On the same day, several people were arranged to work overtime overnight, using graphite powder, spices, and a little rosin to make ink.

These inks are then put into wooden circular grooves, and then put into hot sand to distribute moisture.

At noon the next day, the first batch of fifty graphite bars produced was sent to the palace.At this time, Zhu Zhanji's first book of filial piety has not yet been written to one-third.

He rolled up the graphite strip with a piece of hard paper, only a small section was exposed, and then tried to write a few words on the paper, and the effect was not bad.

He took out a graphite strip and handed it to the little eunuch beside him, saying: "Let the Ministry of Industry develop a thinner graphite strip, about two millimeters in diameter is the best. Then you can hand this graphite strip to Ma Zhicai in Jiajiang." Deputy, let him study the use of machine tools to drill out the corresponding wooden strips. Then cut the wooden strips, wrap the graphite strips, and then glue them together."

From the day it was officially invented, the pencil has hardly changed until the 21st century.

Now that there are machine tools, it should not be difficult to mass-produce pencils.With pencils, children go to school and learn to write, which will reduce the cost of learning, which is also a major event that benefits the country and the people.

Of course Zhu Di got the news very quickly, and tried to write a few words with a pencil rolled up from paper. "Although this pen can't write characters, it is simple and easy to use. This little monkey has a very easy-to-use brain, but he likes to do some crooked ways."

However, the historian was as if he had found a treasure. He knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please give this pen to me. This pen only needs to be improved to make it easier to record and carry. You can take it out and write it down anytime." .”

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I didn't expect to come here. It's convenient. For this reason alone, this graphite pen can be used all over the world."

And while Zhu Zhanji was writing vigorously in Xingqing Palace, the news of his going to heaven also spread in Yingtianfu.

Wan Hu in the Hongwu period was also mentioned at this time. At that time, he used a rocket to take himself to the sky, but was thrown to death.

Taisun not only went to heaven, but also came down safely. This is the real success.

That day Zhu Zhanji saw not one or two people in the sky, at least 10 people on the east side of Yingtian Mansion saw his figure in the sky.

There are more and more rumors about him, and the rumors are getting more and more evil.There are even some malicious rumors that Zhu Zhanji is the real emperor, and Zhu Di should take the initiative to abdicate.

Jin Yiwei is an expert in scouting gossip. After a few days, many people with ulterior motives were arrested in the capital, and all of these people were hired by people with good intentions.

Zhu Di was furious and ordered a strict investigation into the matter, but it made people panic because of this. Such rumors seemed to be confirmed.

After Zhu Zhanji got the news, he just turned his head and laughed.

This matter cannot be separated from the handwriting of my second uncle, but if I want to rely on this matter and want to destroy my relationship with Zhu Di, that is also delusional.

"Jin Kuo."

"The old slave is here."

"Go and tell Grandpa Huang that Ma Di will train a young army of strong sergeants to fly again in Yingtian Mansion on a sunny day. The rumors will dissipate."

Now Zhu Zhanji is the only one who goes to heaven, so he is passed on as the emperor, so what about an ordinary orphan?

People can go to heaven when they see ordinary people, so the rumors have naturally dissipated.And this can also stimulate people's enthusiasm for heaven, killing two birds with one stone.

Ma Di was originally the most suitable for this matter, because when Zhu Zhanji asked him to make this hang glider, the function of each part had to be understood by the designer, so Ma Di was most familiar with controlling this hang glider.

But Madi was young and weak, and lacked strength.And this little guy is a rare talent, so Zhu Zhanji is reluctant to let him go to the sky. If something goes wrong, the loss will be great.

Although there is no evidence, as long as you look at who is the beneficiary of this matter, you will know who is behind the scenes.

Zhu Di also has no intention of pursuing Zhu Gaoxu's crime, after all, he is also ashamed of this son.At the time of Jingnan, this son was born and died, and made many military exploits, but now he can only be dispatched to Qingzhou.

He has no intention of holding Zhu Gaoxu accountable, but it is difficult for people to stop talking about this rumor.
