1052, quill pen

"Everyone, this is the place where you do things next. + Dingdian Novel, 2+3wx In the future, we will get a lot of your Western classics from the West, and then you will start to translate those classics into Chinese. This is the first step. In the future, you will be responsible for translating these classics into your Western languages. Do you understand?" Jing Wen asked.

"I understand!" Jing Wen said.

Next, Xiao Wei came here

Jing Wen continued: "This Miss Xiao Wei, that is, your boss, you must be obedient in the future. If you don't obey, then we will fire you, do you know?"

"I've seen Miss Xiao!" Maupassant said immediately.

Xiao Wei immediately began to arrange for these guys to become familiar with the environment here, such as various stationery utensils, pens, inkstones, papers, and inkstones. These guys are not very familiar with these stationery utensils, and then they are obviously very uncomfortable.

Xiao Wei frowned and said, "Why do you write so badly with brushes?"

"Miss Xiao, we used to write it with quills!" said Maupassant.

"Qingbrush?" Xiao Wei was obviously a little puzzled.

"That's it!" said Maupassant.

Maupassant took out a quill pen from later Westerners. When Jing Wen saw this, he exclaimed: "Why didn't I expect that there is such a thing?"

Jing Wen really didn't expect that when he came to this world, he forgot to "invent" something, which is the so-called quill. It has to be said that the West is not completely without good things, for example, this quill is a good thing. Although Chinese brush calligraphy is full of artistic quality, if you write with brush calligraphy, there are still some problems. For example, calligraphy requires long-term training to write these calligraphy fonts well. And the quill is a much shorter training time and can be learned quickly.

Moreover, after training, the writing speed of quill pen is definitely much faster than that of Chinese brushes, which is very helpful for improving government office efficiency. In fact, as long as people who write things for a long time will know. People's thinking is often faster than their hands, and what determines your writing speed is often not your thinking, but the speed of your writing. Often you think of it, but it does not mean that you can write it out immediately. After all, thinking is just the work of the brain, but the writing process is transmitted from the brain to the nerves, and then driving the muscles to operate to complete the writing. In addition, the brush is not a thing suitable for quick entry, so strictly speaking, the brush is not a pen suitable for shorthand.

The quill pen is different. The quill pen can be continuously written after being dipped ink, and the speed is much faster. With this quill pen, the writing speed can be greatly improved. In ancient times, when there was no computer typing, the writing speed often means a lot of improvement in office efficiency. Improvement of office efficiency means that it is the benefit of the people!

Of course, some people may say that the words written by quills do not have the artistic sense of Chinese brushes. But Jing Wen will definitely swear to death, because as a government office, what do you need to have so much artistic sense? What government offices should think about is how to serve the people and how to bring a better life to the people. If all such things are pursued, then what hope does the government have? So when Jing Wen saw this quill, he suddenly remembered that he could promote the quill immediately. This will improve the efficiency of the Tang Dynasty's office efficiency a lot!

"No, no, since you have come to my Tang Dynasty, you have to use our Tang Dynasty stationery. You can't use this!" Xiao Wei said very bluntly.

Xiao Wei is obviously a person who supports the theory of superiority of the Central Plains. It is good for her to accept managing these foreigners. Now these foreigners are getting more and more demanding and wanting to use their country's quill pens is obviously not something she can accept.

"Xiao Wei. Let them use a quill pen! Anyway, we have no problem, it's just to translate classics, and it's not necessary to pay attention to artistic quality. Therefore, it's no big deal to use a quill pen. I even recommend this quill pen to the emperor. This brush is very helpful for our Tang Dynasty to handle official affairs and can speed up the efficiency of my Tang Dynasty office. If we have this quill pen, I'm afraid that the official affairs we handle in a day will be able to last several days!" Jing Wen said.

"But, this quill is something from the Western Regions!" Xiao Wei said.

Jing Wen immediately said bluntly: "Nonsense, wheat is still coming from the West. Don't you eat wheat?"

Xiao Wei had nothing to say, because wheat was indeed a crop that spread to the East from the West, but now wheat has become the staple food of almost the entire Tang Dynasty population. Can people not eat wheat because wheat was spread from the West? This is simply absurd! Jingwen’s meaning is very obvious, that is, everything should be based on practicality as the first element, and as for any ethnic group and any artistic nature, it can be abandoned. Can the use of a quill brush change the national characteristics of China? So this is simply absurd. Jingwen asked this question, and Xiao Wei had nothing to say.

"Thank you, Lord Jingwen!" Maupassant said excitedly.

Maupassant was really excited because Jing Wen actually recognized their quills and promoted them to the entire Tang Dynasty. This was enough to make them very excited because the prosperity of the Central Plains and cultural advantages were enough to make them feel inferior. Now Jing Wen was able to actively recognize some of their Western things, which made them really excited. Although it was just a small quill, for them, Jing Wen recognized their Western civilization and recognized them with advantages. Maupassant and others actually subconsciously believed that the West was not as good as China, which was like the Chinese in later generations who believed that China as a whole was not as good as the West, and was full of inferiority. Now Jing Wen "respected" them so much, which made them feel very grateful.

This situation is funny. Later generations often boast about foreign countries appreciating something in China, as if China has a face. However, if it is truly a nation full of confidence, how can foreigners need recognition to feel face? So in fact, this is just a Westerner who is not confident, which is exactly the opposite of the situation in later generations of China and the West. Westerners in this era must have felt that the West is not as good as China in the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
