    "Everyone, this is where you will do your work 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  "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 is your boss. You must be obedient in the future. If you are not obedient, then we will fire you. Do you understand?" "See you?  Miss Xiao!" Maupassant said immediately.  Xiao Wei immediately began to arrange for these guys to familiarize themselves with the environment here, such as various study utensils, pens, inks, paper and inkstones.  And these guys are not very familiar with these stationery utensils, and they are obviously very uncomfortable with them.  Xiao Wei frowned and said, "Why are you so bad at writing with quills?" "Miss Xiao, we all write with quills!" said Maupassant.  "Quill pen?" Xiao Wei was obviously confused.  "This is it!" said Maupassant.  Maupassant took out a quill pen that was used by 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 he would come to this world.  I actually forgot to "invent" something, the so-called quill.  I have to say that the West is not completely devoid of good things. For example, this quill pen is a good thing.  Although Chinese calligraphy is full of artistry, there are still some problems if you use calligraphy to write.  For example, calligraphy requires long-term training to be able to write these calligraphy fonts well.  As for Quill, the training time is much shorter and it can be learned quickly.  And after the quill has been trained, the writing speed is definitely much faster than the Chinese writing brush. This is very helpful for improving the efficiency of government offices.  In fact, anyone who has been writing for a long time will definitely 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 that doesn¡¯t mean you can write it out right away.  After all, thinking is only the work of the brain, but the process of writing must be transmitted from the brain to the nerves, and then drive the muscles to operate to complete writing.  In addition, the brush is not suitable for quick input, so strictly speaking, the brush is not a pen suitable for shorthand.  The quill is different. As long as the quill is dipped in ink, it can continue to write, and the speed is much faster.  With this quill pen, the writing speed can be greatly improved.  And for ancient times when there was no computer typing.  Writing speed often means a lot of improvement in office efficiency.  Improved office efficiency means benefits to the people!  Of course, some people may say that characters written with goose quills are not as artistic as Chinese calligraphy.  But Jing Wen would definitely slap him in the face, because as a government office, why do you need so much artistic sense?  Government offices should be thinking about how to serve the people and how to bring a better life to the people. If this kind of thing pursues artistic sense, then what hope does this government have?  So when Jing Wen saw this quill pen, he immediately remembered that he could promote the quill pen immediately.  The office efficiency of Datang has been greatly improved!  "No, no, since you have come to our Datang, you have to use our Datang's stationery. You can't use this!" Xiao Wei said very rudely.  Xiao Wei is obviously also a person who supports the theory of superiority of the Central Plains.  It is considered good that she can accept to manage these foreigners.  Now these foreigners are pushing their limits and want to use their country's quills. This is obviously not something she can accept.  "Xiao Wei, let them use quill pens! Anyway, we don't have any problem. It's just translating classics, and it's not something that must be artistic. So, it's not a big deal to use quill pens. Even, I still  I want to recommend this quill pen to the emperor. This quill pen is very helpful for our Datang to handle official business. It can speed up the efficiency of our Datang office. If I have this quill pen, I am afraid that the official business I can handle in one day can last for several days.  Yes!" Jing Wen said.  "But, this quill is from the people of the Western Regions!" Xiao Wei said.  Jing Wen immediately said rudely: "Nonsense, wheat was introduced from the West. Don't you eat wheat?" Xiao Wei had nothing to say, because wheat was indeed a crop spread from the West to the East, but now wheat has become  It has become the staple food of almost the entire population of the Tang Dynasty. Can the people not eat wheat just because it was introduced from the West?  This is simply ridiculous!  sceneWen's meaning is very obvious, that is, everything must be practical as the first element, and any artistic quality of any nation can be discarded.  Could it be that using the quill pen can change China's national characteristics?  So this is simply ridiculous. Jing Wen just asked this question, and Xiao Wei was speechless.  "Thank you, Lord Jingwen!" Maupassant said excitedly.  Maupassant was really excited because Jingwen actually recognized their quill pens and wanted to promote them to the entire Tang Dynasty.  This is enough to make them very excited, because the wealth and cultural advantages of the Central Plains are enough to make them feel inferior, and now Jingwen can actually take the initiative to recognize some of their Western things. This makes them really excited.  Even though it is just a small quill pen, to them, it is Jing Wen who recognizes their Western civilization and recognizes that the West still has advantages.  Maupassant and others actually subconsciously believed that the West was inferior to China. This is just like later generations of Chinese people who believed that China as a whole was inferior to the West, and they were full of inferiority.  And now that Jing Wen "respects" them so much, they feel very grateful.  This situation makes it funny that later generations often boast that foreign countries appreciate something in China, as if China has grown a face.  However, if we are truly a confident nation, why do we need recognition from foreigners to feel face-saving?  So in fact, this is just a Westerner's lack of confidence, which is exactly the opposite of the situation in China and the West in later generations. Westerners in the Tang Dynasty definitely felt that the West was inferior to China.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
