Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

After dinner, Ying Yuan asked Tian Zhen to take Yan Lu to go shopping alone.

Because he suddenly thought of something and wanted to discuss it with Fu Nian.

"If there is a thing that is more convenient and faster than bamboo slips, and does not need to be carved with a knife or pen, it can also be recorded in ancient books, and it will last forever. If I entrust this kind of thing to you, can you pass it on in a short time? The world?"

Undoubtedly, what Ying Yuan was talking about was paper and pen.

In fact, he has been in this world for so many years, and he also thought about creating pens and paper, etc., but this kind of thing needs to be spread widely. Neither is beneficial.

After all, paper and pen are important for recording.

Ying Yuan felt that it should belong to the whole world.

Rather than belonging to one country and one family.

Only in this way can the benefits of paper and pen be maximized.

"This kind of natural thing is unheard of below, and it is really incredible..."

At this point, he was confused and did not understand.

Ying Yuan smiled and said: "You don't need to know what it is, I just want to say that this kind of thing can greatly shorten the time it takes to record a book, basically within a few days, you can proofread it. book.

If Ben Hou gives you this kind of thing, can we make a deal between you and me? "

"Really? In a few days, you can engrave a classic book, and pass it on to future generations?"

The more Fu Nian listened, the more surprised he became.

Actually don't blame him.

Once such items as paper and pens spread, the sensation caused will undoubtedly be huge.

Seeing his expression, Ying Yuan smiled, "Don't be surprised, I haven't said my request yet."

Fu Nian'an resisted the excitement.

If there is such a thing, the classics of Confucianism can be spread to the world!

The mission of making Confucianism the top of a hundred schools of thought is within reach.

He would never suspect that what the other party said was just a joke.

After all, the other party is the champion of the state of Qin. If he has no integrity at all, then who else can be trusted?

Besides, there is no need for Champion Hou to lie to himself.

His identity is there, what else can he ask of himself?

He opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Hou, what is your request?"

Ying Yuan said slowly: "It's very simple, make a copy of all the books in the library and send them to Xianyang. .”

Hearing this request, Fu Nian was slightly taken aback,

"Master Hou, you want so many books, but you want to set up a school?"

Ying Yuan thought for a while, and said decisively: "I do have this idea, but I have to see how the situation was at that time. Anyway, I don't hope that one day, the books in your school will be damaged and incomplete. Certain books cannot be handed down to future generations."

After discussing with Fu Nian for a while, he and Tian Zhen left Jixia Academy.

Accompanied by Yan Lu.

Let Xiaoyan Lu come here today, just to let him get acquainted with the environment here.

It will take a few days for him to really learn from Jixia Academy.

After returning to the palace.

Ying Yuan called Suzaku over and ordered: "In the past few days, I have ordered the guards to collect some wolf hair or wool, which will be useful to me."

She was puzzled, and just as she was about to ask a question, Tian Zhen spoke first, "When I left Jixia Academy, I saw Fu Nian's face was shocked, did you discuss something? I want Suzaku to collect those things when I come back today. What is the use?"

Ying Yuan smiled slightly: "This Marquis is going to do two things that are enough to shock the world. When I succeed in my research, you will naturally know what it is. However, to be honest, even if I don't have any Military achievements, just relying on these two things, can also be famous through the ages."

He is in high spirits.

[Chapter 170.167: Pen and paper present]

Tian Zhen is looking forward to it.

She knew that her husband would never speak freely about things he was not sure about.

That is to say, Ying Yuan must be sure to create the two things he mentioned.

She looks forward to it.

For Ying Yuan, the first thing to solve now is the brush.

Only when this is produced can the production of paper be more meaningful.

Suzaku ordered all the watchmen in Qi to take the wolf hair without much effort.

The so-called wolf hair is the tail hair of the weasel.

Its hair is relatively delicate, and the brush made of this hair is characterized by smoothness and elasticity, suitable for writing and painting.

Since he wanted to make brushes, Ying Yuan planned to start with the best ones.

After all, it is the first pen in the world, and it has a very special meaning.

For the part of the pen holder, his selection of materials is also extremely demanding.

Finally, the bamboo pole was selected. After several procedures of processing, the trunk has become simple and elegant. Even if it is not used for writing, just placing it there is pleasing to the eye.

Ying Yuan spent several days and nights, almost shutting himself in a small room, and wasting countless raw materials, before finally creating a brush.

"It's done!"

He carefully held a slightly quaint writing brush in his hand, and his eyes shone with brilliance.

For the past few days, Tian Zhen has been by his side, never leaving him.

She was also a little surprised when she saw that he had completed a perfect work of art.

"Husband, you have spent so long, do you want to cast this thing?"

Now Tian Zhen doesn't understand at all what is the purpose of the writing brush that he holds in his palm like a treasure in front of him.

Ying Yuan replied earnestly and solemnly: "If this thing in front of me is preserved for future generations, it is enough to be a priceless treasure."
