Famous and beautiful Tang Dynasty

"My mother's birthday, of course Changle has to make a gift for her mother herself." Princess Changle replied with her big beautiful eyes.

"It's really a good child of my mother. This is the best and most thoughtful gift my mother has received today."

Empress Changsun took Chang Le's little hand and said with a smile.

Chapter 71 In a flash of inspiration, goose feather pens are made (please recommend, please collect)

Seeing that it was noon, Lin Ran walked towards the house.

The sound of geese can be heard in the distance.

The corner of Lin Ran's mouth couldn't help showing a smile. Mrs. Sun didn't know what the villager said a few days ago, saying that eating goose eggs is more healthy than eggs.

So the idea of ​​going to the market to buy geese came up, and I never thought that I would be bought back today.

"Mother, did you really buy a goose?" Lin Ran asked with a smile after returning home.

"Let your seventh aunt bring them from the market. My mother can feel when they will lay eggs. I can lay eggs for you to eat."

Lin Ran laughed out loud when he heard the words.

"Stinky boy, why are you smirking. Hurry up and wash your hands in the house and get ready for dinner. The lotus stewed pork head today."

Sun said with a smile.

Ever since Lin Ran stewed pork head once, the whole family has never forgotten the taste, and now almost every meal cannot do without pork.

Even Zhang Zheng, who is still recovering in the hospital bed, has a soft spot for pork.

"Understood, mother. Thank you for your kindness."

Lin Ran replied with a smile.

"There's not even a shadow of laying eggs, I'm so mad."

After speaking, Sun angrily threw the goose in her hand into the pen, and took off a few goose feathers, making the goose quack in pain.

Looking at the goose feathers floating in the air, Lin Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

An idea popped into his mind.

Lin Ran quickly walked to the side of the pen, and picked up some scattered goose feathers.

"Silly boy, why are you picking up this thing? You can't eat or drink it."

Sun looked at Lin Ran puzzled and asked.

"Mother, don't look at what it can't eat and drink, maybe it's more useful than what it can eat and drink."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, he picked up the goose feather and ran back to the house quickly.

"Lotus, don't put out the fire at the bottom of the pot at noon, I will use it later." Lin Ran said to the maid He Hua.

"Okay, son. Lotus remembers."

After lunch, Lin Ran immediately went to the kitchen and steamed the goose feather in his hand in the steamer.

Lin Ran added more than half of the pot of water to the pot, and did not take the goose feathers out of the steamer until the sound of the boiling water was gone, that is, when the pot was dry.

Lin Ran held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, a smile waved on his face, it was a success, it was a success.

At this time, the goose feather tube has become hard and transparent after cooking.

In the next step, you only need to pin the nib, and you can write with ink.

Lin Ran's package contains a utility knife that sells pen nibs. As an agricultural worker, these things are necessary tools.

Lin Ran carefully cut the bottom of the goose feather into the shape of a pen tip in his previous life. He did it with great care and concentration, and put all his energy into it.

It was just a nib, but Lin Ran was sweating profusely. Seeing the first successful quill in his hand, Lin Ran almost cried out with joy.

He hurried to his room and dipped in the ink to try it out.

Lin Ran finally burst out laughing when the delicate and small fonts appeared vividly on the paper.

Don't look at this little quill, it will greatly promote the learning efficiency of students.

Not only save time and effort when writing, but also save resources.

If it can be popularized for a year, it can save a lot of expenses for many poor children.

Lin Ran carefully treasured the first quill pen, and then continued to sell the nib.

Looking at the five quills in his hand, Lin Ran felt that they were not enough.

Just sworn brothers plus himself, there are nine people.

I also plan to give one to Ms. Li Le, and I plan to give one to the teacher, so as to save the teacher from working so hard with a brush every day.

As a matter of course, Lin Ran held down the goose that his mother Sun had just bought, and plucked its feathers.

The tossing two big geese quacked non-stop, and Lin Ran had no choice but to stop when his mother, Mrs. Sun, came out and scolded Lin Ran.

After the goose feathers just plucked from the goose were made into quill pens one by one according to the same method, an afternoon passed.

Lin Ran went directly to the camp and found Liu Lei.

Now Liu Lei is in charge of connecting with all the shops in Chang'an City.

"Go to Chang'an City tomorrow, and send these quill pens to Ma Zhou, Liu Peng, and Liu Teng respectively, so that they can keep accounts."

"Okay, son. The subordinates will definitely deliver it."

Liu Lei readily agreed.

"Tell them that all they need to do is suck the ink from the nib and hold it in their hand to write."

Lin Ran explained further.

"My lord, this subordinate has written it down." Liu Lei nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Ran bid farewell to his parents and went to Wannian County.

Teacher Wu Puguang was very happy to see Lin Ran, and his wife Wang Yan was also very kind.

"Teacher, a student came up with a whim recently and developed this kind of quill pen. I'm here to give the teacher one, which has relieved the fatigue of the teacher's writing."

Lin Ran respectfully presented the quill in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Wu Puguang took the quill pen excitedly and looked at it carefully.

Under the sunlight, the small quill becomes more and more gorgeous and beautiful.

"Lin Ran, is this pen really usable for writing?"

Wu Puguang asked a little excitedly.

If this pen can be written, there is no doubt that this move will change the writing burden of Tang literati, teachers and students, saving time, effort and paper.

It is simply a convenient thing that kills multiple birds with one stone, and the cost of this quill must be extremely low, the main raw material is only goose feathers.

"Teacher, why don't you go inside and try it out?"

Lin Ran replied with a smile.

"It's a shame that Lin Ran's teacher doesn't trust his students?"

Wang Yan said to Wu Puguang slightly unhappy.

"Haha~haha. Okay, let's try it in the house, ma'am, I don't have any students who don't believe in me! It's just too amazing!"

After Wu Puguang finished speaking, he walked excitedly into the study.

Lin Ran and his mistress Wang Yan followed closely.

According to Lin Ran's prompt, Wu Puguang lightly dipped the tip of the quill pen into the ink.

Wu Puguang writes with a pen in his hand!

A line of handwriting will appear on the paper.

"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful! Tomorrow I will go to Chang'an as a teacher to tell your master about the great things about the students of the world. Let your teacher spread it throughout the Tang Dynasty. Lin Ran, my teacher will definitely praise you very much. !"

Wu Puguang said with a red face.

"Teacher, what kind of person is my master? Why have you never heard the teacher mention it before?"

Lin Ran blinked her small eyes and said.

"Your master is a famous Confucian master in the world, and now he is Kong Yingda, who holds the post of Jijiu of Guozijian and Minister of Rites, and can also be called Kong Shangshu."

Mistress Wang Yan answered.

Lin Ran was shocked when he heard the words, no wonder the teacher could easily find the test questions of the previous imperial examinations for him?

It turns out that the teacher has an even bigger teacher behind him!

Chapter 72 The National Son's Sacrificial Wine, Minister of Rites (please recommend, please collect)

Kong Yingda, Guozijian Jijiu and Minister of Rites, is a well-known Confucian master in the world today.

When His Majesty Li Er was still His Royal Highness the King of Qin, after defeating Wang Shichong, he respectfully invited Kong Yingda into the Palace of the King of Qin to teach Confucianism to his eldest son Li Chengqian, who later became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, he rewarded Kong Yingda for his meritorious deeds, and awarded Kong Yingda the post of offering wine to the Imperial College and Minister of Rites.

"The teacher is here, please accept the students."

Wu Puguang saluted respectfully.

"Pu Guang! Long time no see, do you still remember my old bone?"

Kong Yingda said slightly displeased.

"Teacher, students dare not forget the teacher's kindness for the rest of their lives."

"If that's the case, why do you visit the teacher in the future? Even if you ask the teacher for the previous test papers, you entrust others to do it for you?"

"Teacher, the students are deeply ashamed of the teacher's teaching. There are so many students. The teacher has the highest expectations for the students, but the students are the most disappointing to the teacher. They only end up with the official position of Wannian County Magistrate. They are really ashamed of the teacher's high expectations. The students are ashamed to face the teacher."

Wu Puguang said with a guilty look.

"Pu Guang! Whether you are a county magistrate or a servant, no matter where you are? What kind of official position you are in? You must have a clean and honest heart, think about the people, and think about the country. As long as you work hard, in Wannian County If you have achieved good political performance, the teacher will be able to speak in front of His Majesty and say something nice for you. To be honest, being a county magistrate based on your talent is really worthless."

Kong Yingda spoke earnestly.

"Teacher, now a student is fortunate enough to teach a student in Wannian. This person is very talented and knowledgeable. He is the top of the red list in Chunwei, Wannian County this year. Yesterday he developed a quill pen, and the students were very happy after seeing it today. Let the teacher check it out."

After speaking, Wu Puguang took out the quill pen from his sleeve and handed it to Kong Yingda.

"This... is this a pen?"

Kong Yingda looked at it carefully and asked in shock.

"Returning to the teacher, it is indeed a pen, and the writing speed can be increased by more than several times, which greatly improves the speed and efficiency of learning to write."

Wu Puguang answered truthfully.

"Pu Guang, you follow the teacher to the study."

Kong Yingda said excitedly.If this pen is really as Wu Puguang said, the students of the world will be grateful to the person who made this pen.

This is a pioneering invention of great significance, and it deserves to be vigorously promoted by the Ministry of Rites in the Tang Dynasty.

"Pu Guang, how to use this pen?"

"Teacher, just dip the ink on the ink."

Kong Yingda obeyed and took a little ink.Holding the pen to write, Kong Yingda's eyes lit up immediately.

"Okay, that's great. Who is Pu Guang who invented this quill pen? The teacher wants to play His Majesty and give him a big reward."

Kong Yingda's face glowed with unprecedented brilliance, and his eyes shone brightly.

"It is Lin Ran, the student's student, and the teacher's disciple."

Wu Puguang answered truthfully.

"Haha...hahaha... I didn't expect Pu Guang to discover such a beautiful jade in ten thousand years. This son can be regarded as the grandson of the old man, and the old man should ask for a reward for him. By the way, you also have merit, teach me You Fang, Pu Guang contributed a lot."

Kong Yingda laughed and said.

"Teacher, the students thank the teacher on behalf of Lin Ran."

Wu Puguang bowed his hands happily and said.
