Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 74 Tea House
(The picture shows the big hat of the Ming Dynasty scarf. If you look closely, you will definitely be surprised.)
"Brothers, please be quiet, please be quiet, and listen to me, Ye Zigen, today we are gathered in the Ya loft, and what we are talking about is a miracle that happened yesterday morning."

The speaking scholar's voice was very loud. Yang Huaihe looked at him through the slits of the screen. He was about thirty years old, just like himself, wearing a scarf and a big hat.From the point of view of the clothing material, it is ordinary and has been starched and washed many times. It is not like a wealthy family. There are some scholars gathered here, usually candidates from all over the country. Therefore, I have not seen that kind of shabby poor scholar-looking person. If he wins the Juren, he will be an official. No matter how rich his family is, he will not be poor.But perennial habits cannot be changed in a short period of time.

This person is only in his thirties, and at this age, among many scholars, he is really not too old. Think about it, you can be an official if you pass the Zhongju, you can be an eighth or ninth rank, and even a county magistrate, that is. Seventh rank is equivalent to the current level of director, and it is quite young to be an official in his thirties.As the old saying goes: Thirty old classics and fifty young Jinshi are not called for nothing.

Another person echoed: "Exactly, I heard from others that a strange thing happened yesterday. Originally, when my students were approaching the exam, I should have studied at home instead of lingering outside and wasting my homework. However, this matter This matter actually has a lot to do with us scholars, so I have to convene everyone to discuss it..."

Another person added: "...Brother XX, hurry up and say something, don't keep teasing me like this..."

There was a lot of excitement below, everyone was clamoring to announce the news quickly, caring about the movement in the court, and getting in touch with politics in advance, which was good for everyone, because now these people can already be officials.

One of them interjected: "Brother Zigen, but this 'bamboo tube pen'?" This person is quite well informed.

The man who claimed to be Ye Zigen said: "My dear friend, you are really well-informed. It is really good. It is this 'bamboo tube pen'. This is a big event. It may change the writing tools and habits of my scholars in the world. Therefore, I don't care about it. I have interrupted everyone studying at home. I also want to invite everyone to have a discussion..."

When everyone heard what a "bamboo tube pen" was, they all started discussing it lively. They wanted to see what a "bamboo tube pen" was. It claimed to change the writing tools and habits of scholars all over the world.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I have some self-made 'bamboo tube pens' here, which are cut and made according to what the adults in the court saw. Please take a look..." The person who called himself Ye Zigen put some "bamboo pens" Bamboo tube pens" were distributed to the students.

……

Yang Reform listened with gusto in the box.This is much more interesting than listening to those ministers and eunuchs.At some point, the table was already full of dishes.

Looking at these dishes, they were well-cooked, so Yang Reform was going to try some of them.When Wang Chengen saw that the emperor wanted to pick up some food, he immediately helped him on the sidelines. He put some in a bowl first, and then handed it to the servant on the side, and the servant started to eat.After confirming that there was no problem, Wang Chengen put some more into Chongzhen's bowl.

Yang Reform expressed 120 admiration for Wang Chengen's safety awareness.Even when you go out, you have to bring someone who tastes it. This is really "stylish".Yang Reform wasn't going to say anything about Wang Cheng'en. He was the emperor, and it was better to have such a person to check his health and life.

After taking a few bites, I felt that the taste was much better than that in the palace.

……

While eating, he listened to the discussions outside.

I only heard loud discussions outside.

……

"Brother Zigen, this thing is really miraculous. It can flow ink on its own and continue to write, but the characters written are small and clear. Brother Zigen, the good thing I found there is about more than using a brush to practice calligraphy. Ahhh! I think if this pen came out a little earlier, I wouldn’t have worked so hard to practice calligraphy back then, alas... This thing is really a godsend for students from poor families!” This person may also be tested by poor families , So, I have deep feelings for this pen.I think back then, I am afraid that in order to practice calligraphy, I have worked hard and thought hard. At home, I must have suffered a lot from practicing calligraphy.

"...It's really good. What brother XX said is very true. This thing writes clearly and can continue to write. It costs very little ink and paper. It's really a good thing..." A supporter came.

……

"...Brother Zigen, please forgive me, I see that this thing is made of bamboo, and it seems that it will be worn out in a few days. Moreover, the tip of this pen is so slender, it will break if you are not careful... ..." After finishing speaking, this man raised the "pen" in his hand a little embarrassedly. The nib of this pen has been broken. On the paper, the first few words are still neat, and there is a lump of ink on the back.

Everyone let out a sigh, sighing the fate of the pen.

"Xu Yifan, you did it on purpose!" A student was not too impressed with the one who broke the pen, and yelled loudly.

"Wan Huhou, dare you say that I did it on purpose, I..." Then the two began to curse.Of course, literati scolding the street is far less powerful than a shrew.At most, it was a stage of bickering, far less severe than those grown-ups in the court hall spitting.

The person who claimed to be Ye Zigen stood up and said: "You two dear friends, let's stop arguing. Let's talk about it first. Is there any reason for this matter? In case, the court really switched to writing in small characters, this bamboo pen, too. It is the preferred writing tool! It has a great influence on us!..."

Hearing what this person said, everyone also felt that it made sense. If the imperial court switched to small characters, then it would be possible to write with bamboo tube pens. Prepare countermeasures in advance to avoid being in a hurry and falling behind.

A scholar asked: "I don't know who came up with this idea? Made this pen."

Other scholars are also more interested.

The scolded Xu Yifan said: "Hey! It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, it really stinks..."

Other scholars want to know the gossip even more.Ask more diligently.

Xu Yifan was surrounded by everyone, flattered, and very proud, so he explained the origin of the bamboo tube pen in detail.Immediately, Liu Jishan contradicted the emperor in the court from the beginning, then was recorded by the officials, then knelt at the Meridian Gate, and then suddenly came out this bamboo tube pen, things that changed the world and human life, one by one, he was really well-informed People, the cause and process of the incident are basically correct.

As soon as everyone heard Xu Yifan's introduction, they immediately scolded Liu Jishan for not being a thing. From the beginning of maliciously contradicting the emperor, to the later flattery, it was really the affectation of a treacherous minister, not a good person.Crying that the emperor should dismiss him.

Yang Reform listened with gusto in the "box".These people have all kinds of opinions and dare to say anything. They are much more interesting than those eunuchs and ministers who surround themselves all day long.Regarding the request for him to dismiss Liu Jishan, Yang Reform smiled and said nothing. It was not easy for him to find someone to fight against the ministers, so how could he abolish his martial arts.

For this pen, some like it, while others disdain it.

Some supported Liu Jishan, thinking that he had brought convenience to the world's poor scholars, while others called him not a minister, but a treacherous sycophant, who should be punished.

For a while, the teahouse was buzzing, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

【Xu Yifan, Wan Huhou, isn't that a great name?Interesting?Hehe, they are all real historical figures, of course, they are small people. 】

[This revision, hehe, the new book boutique is pushed next to the category cover, not bad, it is also ranked first, and the position is good. 】
