458 Birthday Gifts

The proposal to change the simplified Chinese characters was made in conjunction with the birthday greetings. For this year's birthday, I have made a lot of money: a palm-sized green jadeite, a Buddhist scripture printed with movable type, and a proposal to simplify the font.

Selfishly, simplified Chinese is my ultimate goal, but it is also the most difficult to achieve. In order to show innovation, since her accession to the throne, she has created or forcibly changed, but she has changed more than 20 new words, but that is only a very small part. I propose to change the number of words, but there are ninety-nine, covering the most commonly spoken words of the day, and in addition to the words, I also propose the use of Arabic numerals, of course, which are not called Arabic numerals, but "Golden Wheel Numbers".

On the day of the presentation, a distinguished guest came to Lichuntai, Wan'er with two servants, walked slowly into my hall, and came to visit my illness on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Although I was "sick", I was also busy going out, and when I saw someone at the door, I remembered that I should cough twice, Wan'er glanced at me, fell on Ah Huan beside me, and then looked at me: "Your Majesty read the princess's note, and I have something to ask the princess." ”

Ah Huan bowed down and retreated, and only Wan'er and me, as well as her servants, were left in the hall. I was kneeling and listening to the hadith, but Wan'er did not hurry to make a declaration, but only helped me up: "It's not a proclamation, it's just a normal question, and there is no need to be polite." He motioned for me to sit down with her, pointed to the left and right and smiled: "They are all close servants in the Zhenguan Palace, and they are deeply trusted by His Majesty. ”

I understood in my heart, Xiao poured a cup of tea for Wan'er, and one of the two poured tea for me, drank each other, and said a few words of gossip, and then Wan'er spoke leisurely and led to the topic: "The princess is sparse today, please change the text, which lists ninety-nine words, but I don't know how the princess thought of changing these words?"

I smiled and said: "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, because the craftsmen, waiters, and account rooms in my house, all the functions involved, how much they have to know some writing and ink, but what they have learned is not profound, and they are often replaced by other words when writing, but these words are not only used by them, but also used by people outside, and even when writing official documents, some words are the same after condensement, and some have their own versions, making a lot of jokes." Therefore, I thought that instead of asking them to learn so much and change their own plausible characters, it would be better to come up with a unified simplified Chinese character and use it only as a commercial document. "That last sentence is very important. Of course, Li Rui is not yet in the throne, and the courtiers are uneasy, so naturally they have no time to take care of my side, but my mother will not be willing to make things blindly at such a time, so I must be gentle in this move, and it is the best way to start with the hundred craftsmen and merchants—most of them are not very literate, and many of these simplified vulgar characters are originally derived from them, and it is easiest to start from here, and to separate the current orthographic characters from the simplified characters, so that the scholars will not feel threatened—after all, it is their privilege to read and read books.

Wan'er looked at me with a smile and said, "If you want to be a document, I'm afraid ninety-nine words are not enough?"

I smiled and said, "These ninety-nine are the most critical and commonly used words, and they should be learned by all craftsmen and businessmen in the world, so that they can recognize and write them." As for the other words, they may or may not learn them themselves. Seeing Wan'er open her eyes, as if she was puzzled, she smiled and took out a stack of papers from the side: "Please look." ”

It was the first batch of engraving printing products, a large stack of identical blank documents, the prototype of the document was from Liu Houde, he is now in charge, is already the largest state-owned enterprise group in the world, there are many interest disputes, but also raised many people, single-mindedly with all levels of government, businessmen to deal with, written out of the document is not leaky, all aspects are well considered. The ink and pigment of this era are not cheap, engraving is a new technology, and the handwriting of things printed in batches is different, there are paste prints, and there are gaps, which need to be improved as a book, and as a one-time document, newspaper, and copy, there is more than enough.

Wan'er picked up a document in her hand, only glanced at it, then understood, pointed to the place with blank lines and said: "They don't have to recognize all the words, they just need to remember the main place, and fill in the document in a uniform format - but in this case, they still have to find someone to read it, what does it matter if they learn it or not?"

I laughed, "Of course it does." The world to do business, although complex, to implement, in fact, the total disputes are roughly so few, such as buying, such as lending, such as bookkeeping, if we think everything in front, all contract sales, must use a unified document, the government, buying, selling, one of the three parties, each other as evidence, the terms are open, the rules are clear, if there is a dispute, according to the rules, open and fair, so not only save a lot of forced buying, forced selling, coaxing and fraud. Moreover, the engraving was issued by the imperial court, and it was obtained by printing, so that all the documents no longer had to be handled by the officials of the government, and it saved a lot of cumbersomeness - and it was not expensive. ”

Wan'er stared at me: "So, the princess's plan is far more than 'simplified characters'?

I smiled and said, "Master Shangguan thinks that the first two things I offer are just rare objects that Bo A-Niang likes?"

Wan'er leaned over pretending to lean over, and said unhurriedly: "I want to hear about it." ”

I glanced at the two servants who were kneeling on the ground, took a sip of tea, and said with a gentle smile: "Jadeite is a product, and the discovery of jadeite ore is due to the geographical advantage; Buddhist scriptures are books from heaven, and it is at this time that the engraving technique that can broadcast scriptures has been discovered, which is in response to the time of heaven; hundreds of crafts make all things, merchants reach all directions, farmers cultivate grain, urge the people to settle down in their own business, provide convenience for small workers, small businessmen, and peasants who have neither knowledge nor power, and reduce the number of times they are exploited by the government and deceived by thieves, which is to conform to the people." Although what I dedicated, although it is only three inconspicuous things, it represents the time, place, and people under the rule of A-Niang. Isn't this kind of thing worth as a birthday gift?" I didn't make it up, it was Pei Lansheng and Cui Mingde who made it up for me together, and those two women wrote the entire "Three Talents Fu" with a word from me - but they were burned immediately.

Wan'er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "In that case, why don't you write it directly on the birthday recital?"

I smiled at her: "The time and place have been favorable, but the people still rely on His Majesty's holy judgment, so I didn't write it." Thinking that this interrogation should be over, Wan'er asked a slightly over-the-top question: "If the simplified Chinese thing is feasible, who does the princess think should be allowed to carry it out?"

I looked at her slowly, and saw that there was a little flamboyance between her eyebrows, and she was cautious and cautious in the past: "Your Majesty uses the Wu clan to carry out revolution, and you should use the Wu clan to carry out innovation." ”

This is the fourth birthday gift.
