Chapter 41 Paper and Pen
"Are you a doctor?" Fusu and others said in shock.
Li Xiao and Meng Chongde both looked unconvinced because Qin An was too young.
Ying Zheng and others were also very surprised, thinking that the other party just had more than two thousand years of knowledge, and his academic qualifications were not much higher.
"I didn't expect that my husband would have such achievements at such a young age." Ying Zheng said with admiration.
"Hey." Qin An sighed, "Don't look at my face, I'm actually thirty years old.
I started going to school at the age of seven and studied for twenty-three years until I was thirty.
People say that Han Chuang can gain fame by studying hard for ten years. If it were in ancient times, I would have been able to obtain two academic titles. "
Ying Zheng and others all took a breath, actually reading Twenty-Three's book, this is really amazing.
Fusu said in admiration: "Sir, he is a great talent, and the students admire him."
The three young masters and senior officials also bowed to Qin An and said, "Sir, you are a great talent, and the students admire him."
Now the four of them are completely convinced. They have only studied for a few years, how can they compare with others.
Qin An was already used to them bowing and saluting. He waved his hands slightly and said, "No need to be too polite. You will become my students and I will teach you well. But now there is no paper or pen here, which is very troublesome.
In fact, I can still accept it without paper, but I am surprised that there is no pen. Lao Meng, your ancestor, General Meng Tian, is known as the ancestor of the pen. This writing brush was invented by him. "
Ying Zheng and others all looked at Meng Tian.
Meng Chongde thought: "Why didn't I know that my father could make brushes?"
Meng Tian looked at everyone in confusion. He had never made any brushes, at least not yet.
He smiled awkwardly and said: "Maybe the ancestors have not left the technology to our descendants. Hahaha..."
Qin An said: "Whatever, this production method is very simple. Lao Li, I will draw the drawings for you later. You can find someone with good skills to help make it, as well as the Moye inkstone."
Li suddenly became energetic and said, "Just leave it to me. I will have someone prepare it and hand it over to you sir as soon as possible."
Qin An nodded and said: "Okay, my paper is almost finished, now I just need to wait for the paper to dry.
In other words, my method is feasible, so I will write you the papermaking process and tools at the same time. When the time comes for people to make it, I will need a lot of paper, otherwise I will not be able to teach them. "
Li Si nodded and said, "Okay."
"Sir, what is this paper for?" Fusu asked.
Qin An replied: "Of course it is for your use. I will give you some key things. Unfortunately, I can't make pencils and ballpoint pens, otherwise I wouldn't use a brush."
"Then can we go and see the paper in Sir's mouth?" Gongzi Gao asked.
"Okay. It's just that it's not completely dry yet."
"It's okay, sir. We just took a look." Gongzi Gao said.
"Okay, let's go take a look together. Although it's not completely dry yet, it doesn't matter if we take a look." Qin An said.
Qin An then led everyone into the house. Fortunately, the house was quite big and had many rooms.
Qin An led everyone into a room. Everyone felt a little hot and found a brazier in the room. They also found a lot of white things on the wall.
Qin An pointed at the white thing and said: "This is paper, as long as he dries it, he can use a brush or other pen to write on it.
Currently I only know how to make brushes, but not pencils or other pens.
But don’t worry, I’ve practiced calligraphy for a while, and although it’s not as good as an expert’s, the calligraphy is still passable. "
Humph, I won’t tell you that my father forced me to learn calligraphy since I was a child, and I have become extremely good at calligraphy.
Seeing Qin An's proud expression, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Who are you lying to? Can it be seen? At least it's at the level of the expert you call me.
It's just that everyone still doesn't know how to write on this paper.
Qin An explained the function of paper to everyone, which shocked everyone.
"Sir, how much paper can you make at one time?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin An replied: "This is just a sample. If you want to make a lot of paper at a time, it depends on how many people and materials are invested. There is no certainty, and there are many kinds of paper, which can be used to write books or be used. Come to practice calligraphy, you can use it to draw, you can also..."
"What else can we do?" Everyone couldn't help but look at Qin An curiously.
Qin An said with some embarrassment: "I need to use the bathroom."
"Bathroom?" Everyone asked in confusion.
Qin An sighed and said, "Hey, isn't it just for wiping your butt in the latrine?"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Fusu immediately said: "It's so gentle."
Li Si said: "Sir, if these scholars find out about this matter, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"So what if scholars know this? Wiping your butt is not a normal thing, is it? People all over the world are wiping their butts with toilet paper just to make themselves feel more comfortable." Qin An said.
Li was speechless for a moment. How could I have forgotten that my husband is a person from the future? I have become accustomed to this in the future, but it’s just that I don’t see him that often.
"Sir, you are right." Ying Zheng said, "It's because we are so rare. Since paper is so useful, please let the four of them help, sir."
Sir can let them do anything. "
"Okay, don't worry, I'm going to continue to stop here. They have read books, so they know the words, which is easier to teach, and they learn very fast, so I will use them hard." Qin An said.
Ying Zheng's mouth twitched, he was just talking casually, why do you have to be so serious.
Fu Su said excitedly: "Sir, if you have anything to do, just ask me, I will help... Zhao Su will do his best to complete your instructions."
Young Master Gao also said: "Zhao Yun will definitely fulfill your master's instructions."
"Mond will also fulfill your master's instructions."
"Li Xiaoye will definitely fulfill sir's instructions."
Meng Chongde and Li Xiao also followed suit.
Li Si and Meng Tian nodded slightly, very satisfied with their two sons' performance today. They kept almost all their questions in their hearts and did not speak out or disrupt His Majesty's plan. This was very good.
Qin An said: "Remember what you said, go and wash the dishes now."
The four Fusu people suddenly looked confused. Washing dishes? They've never done it before?
Li Si asked: "Sir, why do you ask them to wash dishes? Shouldn't they be taught knowledge?"
Qin An said: "From today on, I am their teacher. Logically speaking, I should not let them wash dishes, but the only brick house in the village is the one I live in now.
They can only live with me in this big house, but fortunately there are enough rooms.
In other words, starting from tomorrow, they will have to take care of daily life and food by themselves. "
