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.
If you look closely, you can see that 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! How did you know that the patterns and other designs were all designed by Li Min himself.
"Mr. Zili, what is this thing used for?"
Dai Zhou asked.
Li Shimin also discovered what Li Min had in his hand.
It also feels 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 novelty to ancient people.
This word is new to them.
But for Li Min, that 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 began 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 is blunt at both ends. How do you write?
Li Min gently unscrewed the lid.
When the tip of the pen was exposed, the two of them realized that it was exactly what happened.
"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 you want to write something down?
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 picked up the pen cap and then sucked the prepared ink into the pen tube.
Watch the ink gradually reduce.
Dai Zhou was confused. Is there such an operation?
Where did the ink go?
The ink used to be visible, but now it's 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! The handwriting is very vigorous and powerful, and it is very clear. This is something that our ordinary brushes cannot achieve! It turns out that the written words are like this! It is really shocking! "
Li Min smiled. It's just an ordinary pen. Is this what you think?
These ancient people have never seen the world.
Speaking of which, he writes really well with pen calligraphy, and it even has a thin gold body. It’s almost like looking at a wonderful painting!
Watching Li Min writing everything about household registration.
Dai Zhou just stood on the side and watched.
"Unexpectedly, such a small pen can actually 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 money. Save ink!”
He's right, that's what makes the pen so great.
That's why the efficiency has improved so much.
Otherwise, I would have to change paper and ink after writing only a few words, and all my time would be spent on it.
Where does one find the time 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 if 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. More possibilities in 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.
"I haven't thought about the promotion of pens 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 the idea of promoting it.
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 there are always weird things to encounter.
Something to improve yourself.
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 hold the pen instead of him.
This is also his usual trick.
"If that's the case, that would be great!"
Dai Zhou said, 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.
Why?
Because he actually does two things.
While talking, I wrote down everything about household registration.
"I wonder how Mr. Zili wants to promote it? I'm talking about the pen!"
Dai Zhou didn't care about what Li Min wrote for the time being.
Instead, he focused on the pen.
Li Min also saw this guy's performance.
"Dai Shangshu, shouldn't you pay attention to the next household registration reform first? As for how to push the pen, of course I have a way. You will know it in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, Dai Zhou felt a little embarrassed.
He is putting the cart before the horse.
"Because I believe that what Mr. Zili writes will definitely be approved by His Majesty! Therefore, there is nothing wrong with leaving this matter to you!"
Dai Zhou said this because he saw Li Shimin's satisfied expression.
"That's true! Who else can help him besides me? I like your honesty!"
Dai Zhou:......
Li Shimin:...
Then Li Min waved and wrote on a large piece of paper.
The dense writing on it makes people feel dizzy.
"Okay, that's it. If you need anything more, come to me again!"
Li Min put down his pen.
Dai Zhou's attention is still not on the paper, but on the pen.
"This pen is really magical. I never imagined it! Some ink can actually write so many words!"
"Of course, do you like this?"
Li Min later asked.
Dai Zhou blurted out.
"Of course I like..."
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
"Mr. Zili, please don't misunderstand..."
"If you like it, I'll give this to you!"
Dai Zhou was shocked.
deliver……
Send him?
Are you going to give it to him now?
But having said that, after giving him away, Li Shimin next to him might ask for it, right?
You know, at that time, many officials took things from the Shengtang Group and were begged away by Li Shimin.
It is said that it is a substitute for safekeeping and research, but in fact it is taken as one's own.
The most recent one was fireworks…
The six ministers felt uncomfortable. Why is this so?
They originally wanted to set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year, but Li Shimin spotted them and didn't even leave a box for them.
I haven't received any thanks from Li Shimin yet.
If he gets the pen, the result will be the same, right?
Even if Dai Zhou didn't think that far, up close, this thing was very valuable.
So he said: "This...Mr. Zili, is this thing very expensive? I can't have it!"
At this point, Li Shimin almost cursed.
Li Min said:
"It's okay that it's expensive, but I'm afraid there's only one like this in the entire Tang Dynasty! It's a unique pen."
Yes, this one of his is unique because the pattern is more beautiful. I originally wanted to use it myself, but seeing that this guy liked it so much, I just gave it to him as a convenient favor. Anyway, I have pens with other patterns! And there are other core people.
These words made Dai Zhou even more afraid to accept it.
"Mr. Zili, I can't accept this anymore! Is this gift too expensive?"
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin bumped into him.
It seems that he is not the only one who likes it, Li Shimin also likes it.
"In the future, we will have some cooperation, so just accept it and treat it as my meeting gift! I will rely on your help from now on!"
Li Min is so generous, he gave Dai Zhou such a precious thing as soon as they met.
This made Dai Zhou reluctant to accept it.
If Li Shimin wasn't around, he really wouldn't dare to accept it.
But Li Shimin wanted him to accept it.
Therefore, he said: "Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders!"
After thinking about it again, I owe Li Min another favor.
"That's right! By the way, can you use it?"
Li Min asked one more question.
"This, not very good..."
"I'll teach you..."
Li Min then practiced one or two, and Dai Zhou memorized it.
Li Shimin on the side naturally started to learn.
Finally, when Li Min handed the pen into Dai Zhou's hand, Li Shimin's eyes almost watered.
When the pen was handed into Dai Zhou's hands.
Zhu Shan comes in from the outside.
"Mr. Zili, something's happened!"
"What's the matter?"
After being told this many times by Li Min, Zhu Shan no longer dared to act recklessly and said everything slowly.
"Something big happened! The price of flour in Chang'an has doubled! Led by the Wang family, they took the lead in raising the price!"
"What! How dare these people raise prices!"
Li Min stood up suddenly.
This Wang family actually dares to raise the price again.
"Mr. Zili, what's going on?"
Dai Zhou asked.
“The price of flour from Saga has increased!”
“Isn’t this price increase normal?”
Dai Zhou asked back.
"No, it's not normal. You know, my instant noodles are supplied to the imperial court. The profit from a pack is not high. All I need is flour. Now they have raised the price. Is this intentional? These old guys!”
When Li Min said this, Dai Zhou realized the seriousness of the matter.
Li Shimin is still on the side.
He was probably furious too.
In this way, Li Min may increase the price.
But Li Min didn't say that.
Instead, he said: "It seems that I have to get into planting and bring down the price of food!"
Originally, Li Min would deal with the aristocratic family and let the court help.
No, he wanted to attack the family in this way.
Rather than being caught by others, it would be better to do it yourself.
Li Shimin was also shocked now.
Unexpectedly, Li Min thought further.
And what about yourself?
But they can't even carry out household registration reform.
Dai Zhou said: "Mr. Zili, please don't worry. This time I will come forward to control those who dare to increase prices indiscriminately! Punish them!"
"That's it, good work!"
In fact, Li Min didn't ask for anything in particular.
But Dai Zhou's words made him feel very happy.
I couldn't help but search for Dai Zhou's information.
I wouldn’t know if I didn’t search, but I was shocked by this search.
Why?
Because Dai Zhou will suffer from a serious illness this year, which will only last a few days, and then he will say goodbye to this world.
Therefore, Li Min wanted to save him.
He couldn't let a good man die early.
"Actually, this is what the court should do."
Dai Zhou expressed.
While chatting, Li Min suddenly changed the topic.
"Dai Shangshu, have you been feeling weak recently? You will be out of breath when you go up high!"
Li Min asked suddenly.
This question frightened Dai Zhou directly.
"Mr. Zili, how do you know? There is such a thing!"
He was shocked.
The pen in my hand no longer smells good.
"Dai Shangshu, I think your energy and blood are not good either. Master Sun happens to be here. Should I ask him to take a look at you?"
Li Min said directly.
Dai Zhou was frightened and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's time to work!"
He has lived this long.
In fact, I am also very afraid of death. Who wouldn’t love it if I could live a little longer?
Let's talk about Empress Changsun. If Li Min didn't rescue her, she wouldn't live for a few more years.
Now, according to his search, he lives longer than Li Chengqian.
"Zhu Shan, go and invite Master Sun!"
Li Min arranged.
"yes!"
After that, Zhu Shan went to invite Sun Simiao.
After a while, Dai Zhou asked again:
"I wonder when Master Sun will arrive?"
"Master Sun is just a few floors below. If you go, you can invite him soon."
Li Min said.
Dai Zhou had mixed feelings in his heart.
He was playing with the pen in his hand, but it didn't smell good at all.
Without a life, no matter how many fun things there are, you can't play them.
It's good to be alive.
"That's good, that's good!"
Dai Zhou's heart was in turmoil.
Li Shimin was also shocked on the side.
Dai Zhou is a talented official.
If you lose him, then he will be no good.
Many loyal ministers have died in the past few years.
It made Li Shimin sad for a long time.
It would be bad if he lost Dai Zhou again.
Therefore, we must save Dai Zhou no matter what.
Fortunately, Li Min said it.
At this time, he should thank Li Min properly.
Fortunately, Sun Simiao is here.
After a while.
Dai Zhou couldn't sit still.
"Mr. Zili..."
"Hurry, hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, being in a hurry is not good for your health!"
Dai Zhou:......
Can he not be anxious?
"Alright alright!"
"Take a deep breath and don't rush!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Although he said he was not in a hurry, Dai Zhou was already extremely panicked.
Finally, Sun Simiao came up.
That would make Dai Zhou very excited.
"Master Sun, you are finally here!"
Sun Simiao was puzzled and curious at the same time, who is this person?
I thought about it for a long time before I remembered.
"It turns out to be Shangshu Dai. Are you okay?"
How could Dai Zhou still have the time to chat with him?
He looked at Li Min.
"Master Sun, it's like this. I think Dai Shangshu's health seems to be in bad shape. Please help me take a look!"
"Yes! Dai Shangshu please!"
"please!"
Then Sun Simiao felt Dai Zhou's pulse.
It can be felt that Dai Zhou is very hesitant.
"how's it going?"
Seeing Sun Simiao's expression becoming more and more solemn, Dai Zhou was completely frightened.
"I checked the pulse, and the pulse condition is not good. It should be caused by excessive manipulation, loss of body and soul, resulting in yin and blood depletion, and deficiency of yang turning into wind disturbance!"
As soon as these words came out, Dai Zhou was a little trembling, and he asked:
"Master Sun, what does that mean? Is there any cure? You are right, but I don't understand!"
In fact, what Sun Simiao said was a stroke.
Stroke, the name of the disease in traditional Chinese medicine, can be divided into external wind and internal wind. External wind is caused by the feeling of external evil (wind evil). It is called stroke in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases"; internal wind is a syndrome of internal injury, also known as stroke. wait. In modern times, it is generally called stroke, which mostly refers to stroke-like symptoms caused by internal injuries. It is often caused by qi and blood disorder, cerebral pulse blockage or blood overflow in the brain.
It is a brain disease mainly manifested by sudden coma, hemiplegia, numbness of limbs, tongue tremors, crooked speech and tongue, and numbness on one side of the body. It is a disease that has the characteristics of sudden onset and rapid change, such as wind evil and good deeds that change several times.
Dai Zhou belongs to the early stage and lacks an incentive.
It’s just that there was no such name as stroke in ancient times.
This is also a disease that middle-aged and elderly people are prone to suffer from.
Once you get sick, it's no joke.
"If your disease comes later, it may be difficult to treat."
Dai Zhou was shocked, but fortunately he came early.
"Thank you, Master Sun, for your help!"
He may have to thank Li Shimin.
If it weren't for Li Shimin, then Li Min wouldn't have discovered that he was sick.
If the disease is not detected, he may die at any time.
After all, this disease strikes quickly, and if treatment is not received in time, the probability of death is extremely high.
Having said this, Li Shimin almost wanted to let Sun Simiao see if there was anything wrong with him.
Sun Simiao said:
"It just so happens that we have researched a new medicine that is suitable for your disease. You can take it back and take it for a few days. After the medicine is finished, come back here for a follow-up consultation to make sure it's correct!"
Recently, Li Min has invested tens of millions of taels of silver in medical research.
It can be said that more than one-tenth of the money he earned was invested in medicine.
At the same time, these medical researchers are also very capable and have created a large number of medicines for him.
People who didn't understand said he was wasting money.
But those who know him believe that he is benefiting all mankind.
Li Min is also a businessman. Once a drug is developed, it can be said that the money will be paid back immediately.
After all, there are many patients in this world.
Others would not invest in these things because they are eager for quick success.
"Yes, yes, what Master Sun said is absolutely true!"
Dai Zhou was scared just now.
As long as it can save lives, then anything will do.
Let him come every day, and he is willing.
"Wait a moment, I'll send someone to get the medicine!"
As soon as Sun Simiao left.
Dai Zhou walked directly towards Li Min.
Holding his hand, he said: "Mr. Zili, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived for too long."
"Dai Shangshu said something serious. I just happened to see it, and I also have some research on medicine. The so-called doctor has a parental heart. If you don't treat the patient when you see it, then you are not a doctor!"
"What Mr. Zili said is absolutely true!"
Now he would say yes to whatever Li Min said.
"Come on, come on, sit down and talk, don't stand around. Master Sun is going to get the medicine now. It will be here soon. As long as you take the medicine on time, you will be fine. In fact, there is nothing wrong with your illness. As long as you take more medicine at ordinary times, Pay attention, especially to rest, eat more light food, and stay up less late, you can live at least twenty years longer!"
Dai Zhou was overjoyed: "Really? Then I will definitely pay attention to it in the future!"
Li Shimin listened on the side.
I'm afraid his diet will also need to be changed.
You can’t always eat a lot of fish and meat, you have to be healthy and balanced.
"Here it comes, the medicine is here!"
At this time Sun Simiao appeared again.
He handed Dai Zhou a medicine bottle.
Dai Zhou took it and took a look.
"Is this medicine? Why is it such a small bottle?"
"Yes, although every medicine here is small, it is concentrated. The effect of one pill is much stronger than a large package of medicine before! This is a revolutionary product in the pharmaceutical industry!"
"Huh? Is this really that magical?"
In Dai Zhou’s opinion, shouldn’t medicines come in packages?
Then boil it over fire.
Why did it become a bottle?
"This is Mr. Zili's invention. In the future, medicine can be carried with you and taken when the time is up. It also saves the time of boiling medicine, and the effect is better!"
I see.
This is another new invention! It's so powerful!
At this time, both Dai Zhou and Li Shimin were shocked.
The harvest from coming here today is quite full. "Dai Shangshu, take this medicine three times a day, five pills each time. Come back to me after you finish the medicine!"
"sure!"
How dare he not eat? My life is at stake, I haven’t lived enough yet!
"If there's nothing else, I'll take the first step! I still have research to deal with, so I won't be able to accompany you any longer!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Sun!"
Li Min said.
"Everything is troublesome for Master Sun!"
Dai Zhou also said.
"Farewell!"
Sun Simiao left in a hurry.
Dai Zhou and Li Shimin stayed for a while before leaving Shengtang Group.
When the two left, Li Shimin directly extended his hand.
"Come here wearing Zhou! Hand over your things!"
Dai Zhou understood and handed the pen to him directly.
"How about I let you play with the pen for a few days and then return it to you?"
"If your Majesty likes it, just take it!"
Dai Zhou expressed.
"How can I take your things?"
Li Shimin said.
"I present it to you, please accept it!"
"Then I'm welcome!"
Li Shimin said very shamelessly.
With the pen, he actually forgot about being scolded by Li Min in front of him just now.
