After Leng Lanzhi left, Qiu Wenwen spent a lot of effort to coax the King of Yue.

King Yue's hair was almost smoothed down, and then he remembered something serious: "What does Jia Luo want from you?"

Qiu Wenwen said: "She wanted to buy something from me, but I didn't sell it to her."

Thinking of this, Qiu Wenwen felt very depressed.

It's not that she doesn't want to make money, it's just that she doesn't have many points left in total, and she wants to save them for emergencies.

Just like before, when Leng Lanzhi wanted someone to punish her, she exchanged her points for a pregnancy experience card.

100 taels for a pencil is indeed very tempting, but it's a pity that she doesn't have many points to wholesale it for Leng Lanzhi.

Otherwise, she would have earned dozens or millions of taels of silver anyway.

Thinking of the money she lost, she became extremely depressed.

"Oh? Jialuo wants to buy something from you?" King Yue was curious: "What does she want to buy?"

Qiu Wenwen didn't want to mention this, mainly because she couldn't explain the origin of the pencil.

She can fool Leng Lanzhi, it can be said that she purchased it from someone from a foreign country.

But with the King of Yue, she couldn't tell this lie, so she could only vaguely say: "Some things I thought of are for my daughter's home. They are a bit private, so please don't ask me."

When the King of Yue heard this, he lost interest in asking further questions.

As for the reason why Qiu Wenwen didn't want to sell, he thought he could figure it out without asking - it was simply that she had a grudge against Leng Lanzhi and didn't want to deal with her enemy.

Qiu Wenwen changed the subject: "Your Majesty, these days I have been idle and bored in the Prince's Mansion, looking through the classics, and found a place where there may be a mine. Although it is only coal, if it can be mined successfully, it will be a fortune. Huge income.

If it is contributed to the imperial court, His Majesty will definitely be very happy.At that time, you can compare with the prince. "

The King of Yue's eyes lit up: "Mine?"

At this point, it doesn't matter whether he compares himself to the prince or not. What matters is that with the mine, there will be money.

With money, he can build armaments and expand his army.

With troops and equipment, why worry about big things happening?

Wouldn't his father give him the position of prince?

what is the relationship.

Just grab it directly!

Lin Weiyang worked very efficiently, and within a few days, he found a skilled craftsman.

The craftsman studied the pencil and quickly determined its main raw material - charcoal.

The craftsman said that the charcoal core is easier to make, but the outer wood layer is more difficult.

But as long as you give him time, he will definitely be able to make it exactly the same.

Leng Lanzhi asked Liusha to spend 1000 taels of silver as research expenses, and generously stated that if the money was not enough, he could add research expenses at any time.

Naturally, she would not be stingy with something like this that benefits the country and the people.

Who knows, she is the princess of the Sheng Kingdom, and her brother is the prince and the future emperor of the Sheng Kingdom.

While waiting for the craftsman Master Zhou to study the method of making pencils, Leng Lanzhi was not idle either.

This kind of pencil is really novel and the idea is very exquisite. Leng Lanzhi thinks that he is well-read, but he has never seen anything like it.

She felt that she must not have read enough books, so she recently plunged into the study room, and the focus of reading shifted to Sheng's foreign travel notes and miscellaneous talks.

After reading for several days, she still couldn't find any records about pencils, but she found a lot of new things.

For example, everyone in the Sheng Kingdom, including her, thought that the Sea Kingdom was the southernmost kingdom in the sky, and there could be no trace of human existence further south.However, in a personal biography called "Shen Gong's Travels", it is described that there is a very distant country on the other side of the sea country, which needs to travel [-] sea miles to reach it.

The people over there look different from the people in Sheng. Some have blond hair and blue eyes, some have brown hair and blue eyes, and some even have golden eyes...

These strange people live a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood, and are very backward.

Liusha came in with hot fruit tea, glanced at the contents of the book, and was surprised: "How can there be such a strange-looking person? Is it fake?"

Leng Lanzhi shook his head: "I have never been to the places he mentioned, so I can't be sure whether what he said is true or false."

Liusha said: "It must be fake! It's so far away that ships can't reach it. How did he meet those people? This person must be a poor scholar. In order to make money, he deliberately wrote these things to attract attention. Something to sensationalize.”

He immediately shook his head: "Unfortunately, not many people bought his books. If the princess had not been interested in travel notes to foreign lands recently, and ordered people in the palace to scan for books on this subject, this "Travel Notes of Shen Gong" is still in a certain bookstore. It's eating dust in the corner."

"We don't know the whole picture, so we won't comment on it." Leng Lanzhi said calmly.

Liusha stuck out her tongue: "I know I was wrong."

Another seven days later, Lin Weiyang came to visit.

Leng Lanzhi guessed that it might be made of pencils. Sure enough, Lin Weiyang got straight to the point and took out two prepared pencils.

The shape of these pencils is very simple. The entire pen body is oval. The wood pen body is polished very smooth. There is no paint on it. It does not look as good-looking as Qiu Wenwen's one.

Leng Lanzhi walked to the table and tried to write a few words with a new pencil.

Lin Weiyang asked: "What does the princess think?"

Leng Lanzhi tried Qiu Wenwen's pen again, frowned and said: "The brush strokes we made are softer, and the color of the written words is darker, more ink-like."

Lin Weiyang said: "The villain thinks so too. From the perspective of cost saving and price reduction, the one in the princess's hand may be more suitable for promotion."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Lin Weiyang said: "After several attempts and comparisons, Master Zhou found that the more charcoal used in the pen core, the softer the pen core will be. It has high requirements on the user's wrist control. If he is not careful, it will cause Wasteful, this goes against our original intention of promoting it to children from poor families.

On the contrary, the higher the content of clay, the harder the pen core. Although the writing color will be lighter, it can eliminate the waste of material. "

Leng Lanzhi thought of the strange words Qiu Wenwen said, such as 2B, HB, and 2H. She thought that these different words might represent the type of pen refills?

"We will make two types of refills. The one with more carbon content will be promoted among scholar-bureaucrats, while the one with less carbon content will be promoted in major academies."

"But before that, I have to go to the palace first."

If the pen revolution can really succeed, it will be a great achievement.

She had to ask her father for permission first to avoid anyone getting in the way.

When Leng Lanzhi entered the palace, Emperor Jianliang had just come out of Zhaoren Palace.

Zhaoren Palace is the palace of Concubine De, who is the mother-concubine of the King of Yue.

Concubine De had a reputation for benevolence and never participated in court affairs. Even to the King of Yue, she rarely mentioned her shoes.

Therefore, although the King of Yue made a mistake, his father did not take his anger out on her.

Not only did he not express his anger, after coming out of Zhaoren Palace, Emperor Jianliang also ordered Manager Li to secretly send some tributes from the attacks of other countries to the Yue Palace.

When Liusha found out, she almost died of anger: "Anything you don't fight for or grab is all lies!"

Leng Lanzhi didn't find it strange.

In the previous life, the King of Yue was able to sit on the throne quietly. Although there was no doubt about his own ability, the concubines in the palace must also have contributed a lot.

Both mother and son are seriously underestimated. (End of chapter)
