Yinzhen quickly wrote a classical Chinese text. Kangxi looked at the handwriting; it wasn't jet black, but rather a grayish-black. Apart from the smaller characters, the rest of the writing was similar to regular script written with a brush.
What Emperor Kangxi could tell at a glance was that this type of pen would save paper.
However, if it only saves paper, Yinzhen would not say that this thing can benefit the people of the world. Therefore, this pen must have other uses that he is unaware of.
Kangxi said directly, "Tell me the purpose of this pen."
Emperor Kangxi was skeptical that a single pen could benefit the people of the world, but it was his most steady and pragmatic son who uttered these words.
He needs to listen carefully to what he has to say.
Yinzhen didn't speak. He first took a portrait from Su Peisheng. That portrait was a sketch that Tong Cheng'er later drew for Yinzhen. This portrait was more realistic than the one drawn for him the first time.
After all, Tong Cheng'er taught several students, and while the students learned, she herself also improved a lot.
"Father, please take a look at this portrait first."
Kangxi took the portrait, glanced at it, and his eyes widened immediately. He then looked at the portrait carefully, then at Yinzhen, repeating this several times before finally stopping.
Kangxi put down the portrait, inwardly shocked: "This portrait was drawn with this brush?"
Yinzhen nodded: "That's right."
There's no reason why Kangxi couldn't see what Yinzhen could see. This sketch of a portrait is almost identical to the real person. Putting aside everything else, it would make it much easier to apprehend criminals.
Emperor Kangxi nodded: "If that's the case, then this item truly deserves the reputation of benefiting the people."
However, he is not worthy of the name of benefiting the people of the world.
Then Yinzhen continued, "Your subject has more to say."
besides?
"Tell me."
"This pencil can be used to enlighten children all over the world."
Enlightenment?
Emperor Kangxi did not have the fundamental idea that education was the most important thing. In fact, as a ruler of Manchu origin, he was not happy that all the people could be enlightened.
When people are well-educated, things become easier. Nowadays, even though the people are illiterate, as long as they are fed and clothed, that's enough.
