Li Chengqian heard a few days ago that Li Zexuan had engaged in a new type of arithmetic in Guozijian, and Li Tai had also been praised by Li Er for this, so he wanted to come to Yongle Fang today to find Li Zexuan for a textbook to see what this new type of arithmetic was.

As a result, he was told by the Li Mansion that Li Zexuan was in the workshop, so he looked for him.

Some of the old people in the workshop knew Li Chengqian, and no one dared to stop him, and showed him the way.

When Li Chengqian came to the back hall, he happened to hear Li Zexuan's bold words, and then heard about the shareholding, so he hurriedly shouted.

Two months ago, he would definitely not be able to take out 3,000 guan at once, but Qiqu Pavilion had 30% of his dry shares, and last month's dividend was as much as 2,000 guan, and now he is also considered to be a little wealthy, after tasting the sweetness, this time Li Zexuan needs someone to cooperate again, how can Li Chengqian be unwilling.

Li Tai glared and said, "Big brother, I came first, how can you rob me?" ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's not Qingque, you are too expensive, you can only do it for your brother!" ”

Next to him, Ma Zhou's legs shook again, almost scared to pee, this is another great god! He couldn't help but say in his heart, as the owner, the backstage is really hard!.

"Student Ma Zhou, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Chengqian said "um", waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Ma is exempt!" ”

He is a little better at being a person than Li Tai, just now he listened to Li Zexuan's tone outside the door, and he seemed to have a lot of respect for this Ma Zhou, so he also gave Li Zexuan a little face and called Mr. Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was suddenly flattered, what an honor it was to be called Mr. by the current prince.

Li Tai was dissatisfied: "Who said that I was too expensive, wouldn't it be three thousand?" I can afford it, Mr. Li, I'll have someone send 3,000 pieces tomorrow. ”

People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense, the little fat man likes to compare the length and length with Li Chengqian, the eldest brother, since he was a child, how can he be willing to lag behind at this time, he summed up in his heart, Wei Wangfu raised money everywhere, and he should be able to make up three thousand, but it is really not good, and it is okay to sell some books.

Li Chengqian said anxiously when he heard this: "Xiao Xuan, you can't favor one over the other, Lone is also willing to pay for cooperation!" ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you here today?" ”

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed, after all, he had just been "eavesdropping" outside for a while, and he said embarrassedly:

"Ahem, Lone originally wanted to borrow a textbook from you today to see your new arithmetic, but I didn't expect you to be at home, so I came here to find you."

Li Zexuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since the two highnesses want to participate in the shares, it is better to do this, the two highnesses each contribute two thousand yuan, and you each get two percent of the dry shares, what do the two highnesses think?" ”

He just wants to live his leisurely life honestly, Li Tai and Li Chengqian only see the open and secret fight, he doesn't want to help, no one wants to offend, of course, if possible, Li Zexuan hopes that the two of them can get along in harmony.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai glanced at each other, knowing that this was probably the best solution, so they nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then this department will be officially named Wonder Culture, which will be jointly managed by the three of us, and I hope everyone will work together to make all Datang people affordable to read as soon as possible!"

"Good!"

No matter what the two had before, they have common interests at this time, and they can't help but disagree.

"Then next, I will be responsible for improving papermaking and reducing the cost of paper, Qingque heard that you have a rich collection of books, tomorrow Brother Ma will go to you to select dozens of fine books, and we will print these books for sale first. I'll set up a shop next to the Quirky Pavilion to sell books. ”

Li Zexuan thought for a while and said.

Li Tai smiled: "Okay, I'll tell my subordinates when I go back today, Ma Zhou, you just have to come over tomorrow!" ”

Ma Zhou bowed his hand to Li Tai and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Wei!" ”

Li Zexuan took two steps and said in a deep voice: "In addition to printing some unique classics, we also have to publish our own books, which is relatively speaking, the amount of work is very huge, let me first say an idea, you refer to it!" ”

Li Chengqian said curiously: "Xiao Xuan, do you plan to write a book yourself?" ”

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "At present, the family has the vast majority of educational resources, and if the children of ordinary people want to read and write, they must spend a lot of money, so I plan to organize people to publish a dictionary specifically to teach people to read?" ”

Li Tai said with a smile: "Mr. Li, the kind of book you mentioned already exists, and now all bookstores sell "Shuo Wen Jie Zi". ”

The author of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" is Xu Shen. It is the first Chinese character book to systematically analyze the glyphs of Chinese characters and study the origin of characters, and it is also one of the earliest dictionaries in the world. It is a Chinese dictionary arranged according to radicals. It was made in the twelfth year of Emperor Yongyuan of the Han Dynasty to the first year of Emperor Jianguang of An.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" has become one of the essential reference books for readers.

Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "The dictionary I am talking about is the "Shuowen Jie Zi" with symbols, I call this symbol pinyin, as long as you learn this spelling method, then no matter how complicated the word, as long as it is marked with pinyin, even children can pronounce it!" ”

"How amazing is this pinyin?"

Ma Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, he has been suffering since he was a child, and he understands better than anyone else that if pinyin is really as magical as Li Zexuan said, then the education pattern of Datang will undergo fundamental changes, and there will be more and more literate people.

Li Zexuan didn't talk nonsense, came to the case, picked up the brush, wrote twenty-six letters on the paper, and began to teach the three of them pinyin.

Half an hour later.

Li Zexuan casually wrote a pinyin "jiao" and said, "Qingque, you try to spell it." ”

Here Li Tai has the strongest ability to accept new things, so Li Zexuan asked him to try it first.

Li Tai nodded, stepped forward and tried to spell out: "Chicken is stirred!" ”

Li Zexuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Completely correct!" ”

Ma Zhou also reacted and exclaimed: "Amazing, it's amazing!" If this is an ordinary doll, it takes a few days to learn this pinyin, then buy a dictionary you said, wouldn't it be possible to learn to recognize words at home? It's amazing! ”

Li Chengqian also said with a happy face: "This pinyin is really a good thing, my father will definitely be very happy if he knows this." ”

Li Zexuan said: "Since everyone agrees with this dictionary, then Ma Zhou will be the chief editor of the dictionary, and Qingque and Gao Ming will each send three bachelors to assist Ma Zhou, and this dictionary is called "Tang Dictionary". Attention, the bachelors you sent are only to assist Ma Zhou, don't fight with each other and make the Ministry of Culture a miasma! ”

Li Zexuan still decided to say the ugly things in front first, so as not to cause chaos later.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "But!" ”

Ma Zhou waved his hand again and again and said: "Sir, you must not, you are only a shallow learner, how dare you let the bachelor come to help me?" ”

Li Tai also frowned and said, "Yes, has Ma Zhou's talent learned enough?" ”

This thing never knows how to beat around the bush, and what he says hurts people.

Li Zexuan said angrily: "I believe that Brother Ma will be able to do a good job, if there is any objection, this dictionary will not be compiled." ”

Ma Zhou couldn't help but be very moved when he saw Li Zexuan supporting him like this.

Li Tai rolled his eyes (he learned this from Li Zexuan) and said no more.

…………?

Ahem, I've been really busy lately, but I'm thinking about breaking out for you, and I'm really desperate to write. Two days ago, I was going to get a haircut, but I didn't have time to get a haircut until now, I was busy with work, and I had to rush to code words, and now the image of a chivalrous man is almost the same as Ma Zhou, unkempt and miserable!

Thank you Brother Xiaoyao Xiong, Dream Xiaoyao Sword and again and again, thank you Tianqian Zhiyu for the monthly pass!
