After the hundred officials dispersed, Emperor Hongzhi felt pity.

Those who can be admitted to the capital as officials are the pillars of one in a thousand.

But because the official language is not good, officials who are not reused abound in the former dynasty.

"Although I know this truth, it is not reusable, nor is it not reused."

The words that are reused are just like in the court today, and the official words they speak cannot be understood by others.

If you don't reuse it, you will miss the talent.

Liu Jian knew what His Majesty meant, and echoed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, there are many official people in the six ministries and various yamen who speak obscurely, but they only know outstanding people.

Neglecting them not only hurts the hearts of scholars, but also is not conducive to the implementation of the prosperous era by the imperial court. ”

The Central Plains rhyme of the Yuan Dynasty has been implemented for more than 100 years, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of readers.

However, the accent promoted by the Ming Dynasty is Hongwu Zhengyun, which is integrated into the southern rhyme.

It does not match the tone of the Central Plains, and it is very different from the traditional rhyme that readers are accustomed to.

"If the reader does not approve of it, it will be difficult to promote the official language." Li Dongyang said.

The scholars teach in private schools, and the children learn Mandarin from the private school teachers.

If they are not willing to learn, there is no way to promote the official language.

"This matter can't be delayed any longer, I am going to issue thirteen imperial decrees, and I will also promote the official words to the world." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Xiao Jing weakly reminded: "Your Majesty, it is the Fourteenth Branch, and there is also the Hainan Political Envoy." ”

This new little envoy is always forgotten by His Majesty.

Li Dongyang shook his head, if the holy decree was useful, Emperor Wen would have promoted it a long time ago.

The emperor is far away, and there are no officials in the poor countryside, can he still monitor the failure of private schools?

…………

Ministry of Industry,

After Feng Guan returned to the duty room, he always faintly heard ridicule, eh, whatever he said in the future, he would not admonish him in the court.

Zeng Jian walked over: "It's okay, you don't have to pay attention to it, when the official first entered the court, he also had a local voice." ”

"The lower officials are grateful to the ministry for their relief, and today in the court, the voice is not clear, which disgraces the ministry." Feng Guan said ashamedly.

Zeng Jian was stunned for a long time, but he didn't understand what he said, squeezed out a smile, and walked away.

Hearing that Feng Guan and Li Chengfang made a fool of themselves in the court, the officials of the six townships lowered their heads one after another, for fear that someone would talk to them.

When you see someone, you will avoid it, and if you can, you will not speak.

…………

East Palace,

Yan Chengjin sat on the brocade bench and listened to Liu Jin's report on the progress of the supervision of Heaven Prison.

"My lord, the land of Mangarat is full of silver, and no one picks it up, as long as they are given food, they are willing to exchange their lives for it."

Liu Jin knelt on the ground, his eyebrows fluttering.

Zhu Houzhao was very curious about Manjiara, especially when he heard about the silver everywhere.

He beat Liu Jin viciously: "Something like a dog, do you know that the palace is preparing for the army, why don't you steal some silver taels." ”

Yan Chengjin covered his ears so as not to hear Zhu Houzhao's rebellious wolf and tiger words.

Recruit the army privately, that is to cut off the head.

Liu Jin hugged his head: "Slave maid Guang remembered to find a rubber tree for Lord Yan." ”

Yan Chengjin got up: "Your Highness, the minister is gone." ”

"Lao Gao, but you're going to see your father? Then peanuts, like corn, can be used as a staple food, is this palace right? ”

Lao Gao, this dog thing, specially ordered Zhang Xian to plant it in the greenhouse, and ordered someone to report it at any time, it must be a great baby.

"Your Highness guessed half right, that's a treasure, not a staple food."

Yan Chengjin said truthfully.

He came to the Fengtian Temple and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, please beg, in Manjiara, Korea, Annam, island countries, Tatars, Tibet, and other countries,

Promote the official dialect and unify the language of the world.

The various states will pay tribute, and trade with merchants will be smoother. ”

The promotion of official dialect has great benefits for promoting the economic prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

When people open their mouths, they can speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty, which will make the transaction smoother.

Moreover, the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty will become the only lingua franca in the world.

This is a very forward-looking form of good governance in future generations.

It's just that I don't know if Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others can realize it. 、

In fact, North Korea and island countries were most influenced by the Ming Dynasty, and scholars were mostly able to speak official language.

The Xunmin Zhengyin of the Korean official dialect is the Hongwu Zhengyun that was changed from Yu Daming.

Liu Jian shook his head: "Today in the court, you have also seen that the official language is promoted in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still difficult to move an inch, let alone Fanguo?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I don't want to promote the official language, but Emperor Kewen has already implemented it, and it has rarely been effective." ”

Li Dongyang was the head, Emperor Gao set the capital in Nanjing, and the official dialect was based on the Jianghuai dialect in Nanjing.

During the reign of Emperor Wen, he promoted the Jianghuai dialect in the capital, but it was not effective.

Yan Chengjin looked at the three ministers of the cabinet, before he came, he had already come up with a strategy to promote the official language, and guessed all kinds of possibilities.

In later generations, there were Putonghua exams, which were divided into Class A and Class B, with Class A being the highest and Class B being the lowest.

It can be used to promote the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

However, saying it now will not cause the cabinet to dislike?

"The minister has a way, maybe he can promote the official language."

Whenever this son is used perhaps, when the minister should not talk about it, he has a complete grasp.

It's just that this son always wants to leave a way back for himself, and Emperor Hongzhi has long known his routine.

The three members of the cabinet looked at it, if they could promote the official language in Daming.

In the future, it will be much easier for the court to communicate with the people.

Emperor Hongzhi's face remained unchanged and said, "Yan Qing's family might as well speak bluntly." ”

"Every year after the autumn and spring festivals, you can add official lectures in the capital, so that the talents can take the exam, and after the exam, you can get the first class and the second class certificate, and the first class is divided into one, two and three levels.

With this certificate, if you return to your hometown as a private school teacher, or as an official, you can get the imperial court every month, half a tael of silver. ”

This is actually the Mandarin test.

The imperial treasury is full, and it can afford to send out this half of the two lines of silver.

If you want to popularize it for the whole people, I'm afraid it's impossible, and if you teach him for half a day, you may not be able to understand what you're saying.

You can only start with a book reader and a doll.

Han Wen frowned: "Scholars regard money as dung, how can they care about half a tael of silver?" ”

The reason why it is difficult to implement the official language is precisely because the readers look down on it.

Yan Chengjin had already thought about this possibility, he looked up at Emperor Hongzhi slightly, and bowed down again: "What the minister just said is only the first step. ”

Here we go again, here we go again......

Emperor Hongzhi didn't want this son to continue, but he could promote the official language and benefit the country and the people.

I want to see what else this son wants to say.

Yan Chengjin said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to include the official language in the imperial examination!" ”

Include the official dialect in the imperial examination, see if you learn it......

It is conceivable that instructor talk will become a craft.

As long as the official language is good, ordinary people can also be private school teachers who speak the words of the instructor.

They scattered all over the Ming Dynasty to make a living, and the official words of the Ming Dynasty were promoted.

"Isn't it unfair to the scholars in the south to include the official language in the imperial examination?"

"Even if you want to take the test, what criteria will be used to evaluate and score?"

Li Dongyang and others hit the nail on the head.

I want to see if there is a third step for this son, if there is, even if the official loses.

Yan Chengjin didn't know what Li Dongyang and the others thought, so he carefully considered it for a moment and said: "The difficulty of the exam questions in the south is naturally lower. ”
