In the reception hall of Shilin Academy, the four mountain chiefs still sit in their original positions, and as long as everyone deliberates here in the future, they will follow this seat. That's convention.

Lu Ming smiled: "I was going to let everyone rest for a few more days, but I thought about it again and felt that it was better to settle things earlier." When this matter is satisfied, I will apologize for the three of them. ”

Ouyang Shouxing said with a smile: "Lu Shanchang is polite, you just want us to rest these days, and we are not at peace in our hearts." If you hadn't gone to Nanchang Mansion in the past two days, the two county schools would have reported there and submitted the student roster. We have already come here to urge you, Lu Shanchang, to make arrangements. ”

Lu Ming smiled: "You guys come to me, I really can't ask for it." Mr. Ouyang said that he wanted to assign words earlier, and I thought that the purpose of the dictionary was to facilitate Chinese people to learn words on their own, so that children could learn them at the beginning. Students who really do learning still need the guidance of Mr. Therefore, the dictionary can select commonly used words. In the vocabulary, there are more than 30,000 words, and I have selected 8,000 commonly used words from them, and I plan to compile them into a dictionary. Eight thousand words, the cross is a single, divided into eight hundred singles, we arrange eight hundred students, one person and one single. Threesomes, cross-proofing. The rest of the rare words, variant words, etc., after the township test next year, we will do it again, what do the three think? ”

Ouyang Shouxing praised: "Mr. Lu has put a lot of effort into it, so that the dictionary can be published in a month at most." It will not affect next year's township test. I have no objection. ”

Yang Wanyu and Chen Fengshan also smiled and nodded: "No objection." ”

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Then I'll continue to throw bricks and lead jade." In order for the dictionary to be easy to use, you have to add some materials, and compare it with other books, and there are many changes. This is also a change that Qin Feng focuses on, and there is no room for negotiation. The first is to implant the pinyin to use the textbook, and the punctuation to use the textbook. The page numbers of the book are in Arabic numerals. Fortunately, the three mountain chiefs also have some understanding of Western numbers. ”

Yang Wanyu nodded and said: "I have also learned this, or my businessman friend taught me, Westerners' books all use this number as page numbers, it is indeed clear at a glance." It's just that we Chinese have never studied, and we are afraid that our understanding will be biased. ”

Ouyang Shouxing said: "To be fair, learning to mark page numbers with numbers in the West is simpler than our previous way. What's more, it's easy to retrieve. “

Lu Ming said, "Yes, this Qin Feng is really talented. He asked for dictionary search to be divided into three types of coexistence: pinyin search, radical search, and stroke search. In this way, the page number of the search guide is varied, and the number annotation of Western studies is indeed concise. ”

"This Western number is very fast to learn, and when I learned it, I didn't have to work with tea before and after. Whether it's a child or an adult, it's something that is clear at a glance. Chen Fengshan said.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "What Fengshan said is that what is really difficult is pinyin learning. However, this is the most important part of self-learning words. In addition to the introduction of pinyin in the dictionary, Qin Feng also arranged for someone to design pinyin teaching materials, and Dahua children should be the first to learn pinyin in the future. ”

Seeing that the three of them just nodded their heads, they had no intention of expressing other opinions.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "In this case, the words have been divided last night, wait for everyone to report the number, and then draw them at will, how about it?" “

The compilation of multiple people must be coordinated and arranged. Otherwise, for example, if you give the word Dahua phonetic, annotation. Others don't know, but also give the word Dahua phonetic, annotation. This repetition is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, there are ten characters on a piece of paper, eight hundred, which one is drawn, and the words on the paper are phonetized and annotated. Hot e-books

The three mountain chiefs all brought their own protégés, and drew notes according to their own numbers, which was convenient, fair, fast and efficient.

Several people smiled and nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Shouxing nodded and said with emotion: "This matter, from beginning to end, big and small, is planned, operated, and operated by Chief Lu Shan. I waited thousands of miles to come, but in fact, I came to pick up a cheap one and eat a ready-made one. There is both gratitude and guilt in my heart. ”

Lu Ming laughed: "Brother Ouyang, you are serious. There is nothing difficult in the world, only the word unity. It seems like I've done a lot of things before, and that's where the opportunity is. In the future, it will be compiled and promoted, and it will be popularized in all parts of Jiangnan, and it is necessary to work together here. Qin Feng and I also explained in the same way, my four academies, try our best to promote, and they can quickly spread in Jiangnan and even Dahua. It's more laborious than him alone, and it's efficient and useful. It can enable the people of Dahua to learn pinyin and learn this way of literacy one day earlier. I, the people of Dahua, will realize it one day sooner, the whole people will learn the books of sages, and the whole country will be moral! This is the blessing of Dahua! It's also our responsibility, and it's not up to me alone! “

Lu Ming stood up and raised his right hand: "The so-called, for the sake of the saints, continue to learn!" That's what you're doing today! We have been friends for many years, whether it is responsibility or reputation, we will go together! “

Ouyang Shouxing, his face was excited, and the beard on his chin trembled. Yang Wanyu and Chen Fengshan looked at each other, their eyes were full of scorching light. Isn't this the ending everyone is looking forward to?

Lu Ming put on a smiling face: "So the three mountain chiefs, why do they have to be like me?" “

"Lu Shan grows tall and windy! Knowing the Righteousness! I am full of admiration. It's not that I'm waiting for my life, but Lu Shanchang is you, and you're not open enough for me to be equal to my life. Ouyang Shouxing sighed.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Lu Ming sat down slowly.

Ouyang Shouxing said: "Yesterday, I went to the Nanchang County Ya to submit the roster, and by the way, I talked about the old days with Wei Dayou, the magistrate of Nanchang County, and when I talked about the dictionary, I also talked about Qin Feng. Wan Yu, Feng Shan, do you know that Qin Feng wants Lu Shanchang to buy him into a bank and collect 100,000 taels of silver from Lu Shanchang. Lu Shanchang is anxious about this. Chief Lu Shan, can there be such a thing? ”

Yang Wanyu and Chen Fengshan looked surprised, and Chen Fengshan was surprised: "What business?" One achievement costs 100,000 taels of silver? ”

"Where is business worth so much? It must have been Qin Feng who learned that we had raised the sponsorship fee from the merchants. I was indignant and embarrassed, so in the name of Yicheng shares, I wanted to ask for another 100,000 taels of silver! Yang Wanyu sneered: "I want money and face!" ”

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Since you all know, I won't hide it from you." After all, this matter was facilitated by Qin Feng's efforts, and collecting sponsorship fees was also his original idea. We're just carrying it forward. He wants to take another 100,000, which is not too much. I'm afraid of getting out of the way, so I can't refuse. But I also declare that this is the end of the matter, and there will be no recurrence of the incident in the future. “

Ouyang Shouxing nodded and said, "That's how it should be!" There is nothing wrong with Lu Shanchang's handling like this. It's just that why do you want Wei Dayou to be anxious for you? ”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I'm short of silver!" I want to have 100,000 taels, and I will already open the Shilin Branch. If Qin Feng only needs money, I can also discuss with you and use the merchant sponsorship fee. But he had to give me a share of the bank, and it seemed to be another deal between me and him. Therefore, I am not able to use the sponsorship money, and it is not convenient for me to negotiate with you. So I had to find other connections to think about raising money for me. Wei Dayou didn't raise much money, but he broke the matter. “
