Chapter 532 The Revolution of Writing, Dai Zhou was seriously ill, and Sun Simiao rescued him(1/4)
Dai Zhou walked to Li Min.
Li Min was seen taking out something like a metal rod.
He was curious, what was that?
After that, the paper began to be laid.
Upon closer inspection, there are some beautiful patterns carved on this stick. This kind of thing cannot be made by ordinary craftsmen. It must be a master-level existence to draw such patterns! Who knew that the patterns and so on were all made by Li Min?
Designed by myself for reference.
"Mr. Zili, what is this thing used for?"
Dai Zhou asked.
Li Shimin also discovered what Li Min had in his hand.
It also felt very novel.
"Oh! This, this is called a pen!"
Li Min said.
"Fountain pen? A steel-like pen? Is that the explanation? Otherwise, what is it?"
Fountain pens are still a novel thing to ancient people.
This word is new to them.
But for Li Min, it was nothing short of ordinary.
During this period of time, because the brush was no longer easy to use, Li Min asked people to study fountain pens. At this time, Ji Ruxue also started to promote it internally, and Su Mei and other writers began to use fountain pens to write.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about speed, the improvement is not just a little bit.
Therefore, it was unanimously recognized by everyone.
Another point is that the characters have become smaller, and more and more characters can be written on the same piece of paper.
Li Shimin also came over curiously.
He stared at the pen in Li Min's hand for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.
This pen has blunt ends. How do you write?
Li Min gently unscrewed the lid.
When the tip of the pen was exposed, the two of them realized what was happening.
"This is an epoch-making pen. It is shorter than a brush and writes smaller characters. It is made of fine steel, so it is called a fountain pen. I explain it this way, do you understand?"
There seems to be nothing wrong with this explanation.
Dai Zhou asked: "Our pens are not made of steel. Apart from the difference in material, is there anything different about this pen?"
Li Shimin looked left and right, but couldn't tell that it was a pen.
Because there is not a hair on it.
How can it be called a pen?
And where to put the ink? How to write? Will it be heavy? Do I need to dip it in after writing?
A lot of doubts arose in his mind.
He thought to himself: "The writing brush needs to be at least about seven inches. This thing is less than five inches. It has no bristles and is not long enough. It doesn't even have a place to hold the pen barrel. How can I write?"
But I also thought that it was impossible for Li Min to invent something useless.
"What do you think?"
Li Min took the pen cap and sucked the prepared ink into the pen tube.
Watch as the ink gradually becomes less.
Dai Zhou was confused. Is there still such an operation?
Where did the ink go?
The ink used to be visible, but now it is invisible.
Then, Li Min laid out the paper and started writing on it.
He wrote with a pen.
Although the handwriting is small, it is very beautiful.
Dai Zhou took a closer look.
Was amazed.
"Good calligraphy! Good calligraphy! Good calligraphy! This handwriting is very vigorous and powerful, and it can be seen very clearly, which is beyond the reach of our ordinary brushes! It turns out that the written words are like this! It is really shocking!
"
Li Ming smiled. It's just an ordinary pen. Is that what you think?
These ancient people have never seen the world.
Having said that, he writes really well with pen calligraphy, and it also has a thin gold body. It's like looking at a wonderful painting!
Watching Li Min keep writing everything about household registration.
Dai Zhou just stood aside and watched.
"I can't believe that such a small pen can fill up this huge piece of paper! The ink has not been changed yet, and the brush has been stuck with ink many times! Not only does it save paper, it also saves paper.
Save ink!”
He's right, that's what's so great about fountain pens.
That's why the efficiency has improved so much.
Otherwise, I have to change paper and ink after writing only a few words, and all my time is spent on it.
Where does the time come from to write more words?
Li Min's pen will bring a writing revolution to the Tang Dynasty.
Because the pen can write words as big as ants, or even smaller.
To another extent, more words can be written on a piece of paper.
The same content requires less paper.
If nothing else, if each person saves only one piece of paper per day, the amount of paper saved in a year will be huge!
Even though the price of paper has come down, this kind of savings is still necessary.
It can also greatly reduce the size of the book collection, giving more possibilities in a limited space.
A simple pen can achieve such results, which is very shocking.
Dai Zhou even said: "If this book can be popularized, it will definitely bring a lot of changes to the Tang Dynasty. It will change the way people write!"
Li Min stopped.
"As for the promotion of pens, I haven't thought about it yet. There are still some areas that need improvement, but it is coming soon. As long as the time is right, I will definitely promote it! That is also a matter of the future, not now."
This is what Li Min thought.
While improving the efficiency of others, it is also beneficial to yourself.
Li Shimin looked at it dumbfounded.
Presumably he also has ideas for promotion.
The only question left was how Li Min would sell the money.
At the same time, he was thinking in his heart. It seemed that he would have to come here more often to look for Li Min in the future.
Because you can always encounter some strange things.
Something to make yourself better.
He even wanted this pen very much in his heart. If possible, he might ask someone to come over and ask for it.
Ministers and concubines can trick every one of them. Let them take the pen on his behalf.
This is also his usual trick.
"If that's the case, that would be great!"
Dai Zhou said that his attention was not on what Li Min wrote.
But it lies in that very wonderful pen.
Because he felt Li Shimin's eyes were hot.
"That's inevitable! This will drive the development of the entire writing industry, allowing books to carry more content."
Li Min said while writing.
This shocked both Dai Zhou and Li Shimin.
