Jia Changchao knew that Zhao Zhen was now in the court, and he also knew how much power Kou Ji had in the court.

So after hearing Kou Ji's words, he solemnly said to Kou Ji: "Kou Longtu really wants to revise the phonology book? ”

Kou Ji stared at Jia Changchao and said, "If I don't want to revise the phonology book, what do I want you to do?" ”

Kou Ji's words shattered all of Jia Changchao's doubts and worries.

Jia Changchao stood up and bowed deeply to Kou Ji, "But with Kou Longtu's send." ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Okay, the official family lent some of the gardens in the Ruisheng Garden to me and other people who wrote books and revised the annals, and they occupied Lu Wan and Lan Wan respectively, and there was still no Peony Wan left.

You can take someone to write a book in the peony later.

As soon as I have the manpower and money, I will send someone to deliver it. ”

Jia Changchao replied: "......"

Kou Ji doesn't like to drag mud and water, and the same is true for Jia Changchao.

After agreeing on this matter, Jia Changchao left Kou Mansion and returned to Taixue to sort out his series of phonological books.

Kou Ji rode into the palace and went to find Zhao Zhen to ask for someone.

Translating the books of the Great Food Literature, a group of new science and technology scholars, plus a few officials who are proficient in the Great Food Literature are enough.

But to write phonological books, you need someone who is proficient in phonology.

Almost all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty know a little about phonology, and there are many people who are proficient in phonology, but not all of them are suitable to participate in writing books.

Kou Ji still hopes to transfer some professional academic talents from Zhao Zhen, rather than the kind of person who strives to pursue fame and fortune.

In the eyes of Jia Changchao and a series of people who have studied phonology, a complete and unified phonology book is still just a prototype, but in the eyes of Kou Ji, it is a finished product.

Therefore, for Jia Changchao and others, it takes time and energy to devote themselves to research, and there are still many obstacles in the middle.

But in Kou Ji's eyes, there are no obstacles.

As a later generation, Kou Ji's initial education began with rhyme.

He had the whole rhyme in his head.

From time to time, he can share some of the phonological knowledge he knows with Jia Changchao and others.

Jia Changchao and others will definitely be able to compile a complete set of phonology books soon.

With Kou Ji's help, Jia Changchao and others compiled phonology books, which was completely picking up credit.

Except for Jia Changchao, who should share the credit with, naturally Kou Ji has the final say.

When Kou Ji entered the palace, Zhao Zhen was enjoying the cool in the imperial garden.

Wang Zeng reported to Zhao Zhen on the side the preparations for the collection of the spring tax.

When Kou Ji arrived, Wang Zeng stopped reporting.

Kou Ji saluted Zhao Zhen, "The minister Kou Ji has seen the official ......"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Fourth brother doesn't have to be polite. ”

Kou Ji bowed his hand to Wang Zeng again.

The king returned the salute.

After a set of etiquette is completed.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and asked with a smile: "The fourth brother entered the palace, but what trouble did he encounter because of the revision of the historical records?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The money, food, manpower, and officials are very sufficient, and there is no trouble in revising the annals for the time being." The minister entered the palace this time because he had other important matters to discuss with the officials. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he became interested, "What is it that is worth the fourth brother to enter the palace in person?" Wang Aiqing is also here, you name it, I and Wang Aiqing carefully refer to one or two. ”

Wang Zeng hurriedly bowed down and said: "The ministers don't dare, everything is decided by the officials." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Wang Zeng with some surprise, and secretly sighed in his heart, Zhao Zhen is really powerful now, and he has forced the prime minister of the inner court to the point of saying compliments.

Kou Ji sighed a few words in his heart, and smiled at Zhao Zhen: "The minister recently discovered an interesting thing, so I want to compile it and publish a book, and I want to ask the official family to borrow some people." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng both looked at Kou Ji.

Zhao Zhenhu wondered: "What is interesting?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Yinyun! ”

Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng glanced at each other, and there was a trace of doubt on their faces.

He is no stranger to the two of them, and he has studied one or two systematically, and he doesn't feel anything special.

Kou Ji suddenly mentioned phonology, what was he going to do with rhyme?

The two of them had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't ask questions, they just stared at Kou Ji suspiciously, waiting for Kou Ji's next step.

Under the gaze of the two, Kou Ji smiled and said: "Although my Great Song Dynasty has an official dialect, it is still spoken in the local dialect in various places. There are many contradictions between the vernacular and the official dialect.

So there will always be a lot of conflicts.

For this reason, there is no shortage of troubles.

The minister had encountered similar things before, so the minister was wondering if it was possible to mark the text with rhyme, compile it into a book, and send it into Mongolian studies.

Over time, in addition to speaking the local accent, people everywhere will inevitably learn the official language.

At that time, many conflicts in the officialdom due to the vernacular and the official dialect will no longer exist.

For this reason, the minister consulted the Taixue sacrificial wine Jia Changchao.

Jia Changchao had a lot of research on phonology, so after the minister made this suggestion, he told the minister.

The imperial court compiled phonological books, which could not only correct the official pronunciation, but also greatly promote education.

Jia Changchao said that when the Mongolian children first learned Chinese, they would always learn the pronunciation of many words incorrectly because of the local pronunciation of Mongolian teachers.

Over time, it becomes a habit that is difficult to correct.

Once a phonological book is available, such mistakes can be avoided.

In addition, when the Mongolian children first learn literature, there will always be scenes where they can read but not write, and they can write but not read, which leads to the difficulty of education.

If you are a phonological book, you can avoid such troubles.

More importantly, once the phonological books were published, it would be much easier for the imperial court to carry out education.

As long as the children learn phonology, they can also learn more words and understand more books with the help of phonological books without the guidance of Mr. Mengtong.

If the imperial court set up Mongolian schools in various places and only taught simple characters and phonology, I believe that the number of literate people in the Great Song Dynasty will increase quickly. ”

After Kou Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng's faces completely changed.

If the compiled phonology book is really as good as Kou Ji said, it will definitely be a great thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

It is not an exaggeration to describe hard work in the community and benefits in the future.

Successive dynasties have been promoting indoctrination, and there have always been only a handful of literate people who can read and write.

It is difficult to carry out education, mainly because of the high cost and high requirements of reading.

When teaching young children, the gentlemen in the private schools in the countryside will not only accept the unbearable constraints of the poor people, but sometimes also look at the qualifications of the young children, and those who are too stupid will not teach.

Coupled with the expenditure of pen, ink, paper and inkstone during the study period, many poor families simply cannot afford it.

However, once the phonological books mentioned by Kou Ji came out, the young children could learn some of them on their own while learning from the master.

This will significantly reduce the cost of learning for young children.

In addition, if the imperial court can pay to promote Mengxue to the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the cost of Mengxue for young children will be reduced again.

At that time, there will naturally be more people who will learn, and more people will be literate.

Greatly promoting education is no longer an empty word.

Kou Ji said very little, but with the vision, identity, and status of Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng, they could think of more.

Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and asked solemnly, "How do you ensure that the imperial court will set up Mengxue in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "From its establishment to the present, Yizizipu has not helped the imperial court to make any efforts. The imperial court's promotion of Mongolian learning is when it contributes.

It is difficult for me to educate the Great Song Dynasty, and in the final analysis, it is because of the problem of money.

As long as we pay enough money, we can let everyone in the Great Song Dynasty go to school.

It is not difficult to learn without taking a penny. ”

When Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng heard Kou Ji's words, their faces changed completely.

Zhao Zhen got up slowly, stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, there are tens of millions of young children in the world. Tens of millions of young children go to school, and the cost is a huge number.

Although there is money in Yizizipu, the money is deposited by others, not the money of the imperial court.

Even if the imperial court used it, it had to spend money from the treasury to make up for it.

Otherwise, Mengxue has not yet been implemented, and the word Jiaozi shop will be finished first.

I am not stingy, and I also want everyone in the Great Song Dynasty to read and write.

But my Da Song doesn't have enough money now. ”

Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "If you don't have it, go grab it!" Our Great Song Dynasty has a lot of soldiers and horses, and our neighbors also have a lot of money. With the money of the neighbors, it is enough to support the young children of my Great Song Dynasty to study.

The more literate people I read and write, the lower the cost of education.

There will come a day when my Da Song doesn't have to go around looting, and I can still afford to read books for the young children of my Da Song. ”

"Rob?!"

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.

Wang Zeng frowned on the side and said: "Many people will die in a war......"

Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng calmly and said, "As a privy envoy, I naturally know that many people will die in battle. But I want to educate the Great Song Dynasty now, and I don't have enough money, what else can I do but rob it?

Isn't it cost-effective to exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty for the qualifications of ten or hundreds of generations of people to read and write?

Raiding is only temporary, but rejuvenating education is a hundred-year plan.

And if you really loot, you won't die so many people.

With the current soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty, there are few people in the world who are our opponents. ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng were silent, Kou Ji continued: "The money we robbed can not only support the young children of my Great Song Dynasty to study. Those soldiers who participated in the war would also receive a lot of money as a result.

The children of rich and noble families are unwilling to be soldiers.

Therefore, most of the soldiers are the children of poor families.

Poor families can also become rich because of this.

Hexi, Xingqingfu and other places are the best examples.

The children of poor families in the army could not survive in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so they could only go to serve as soldiers and beg for a bite to eat.

In Hexi, Xingqing Mansion and other places, they got 100 acres or 1,000 acres of fertile land, and their families were lifted out of poverty. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he no longer hesitated, "Then go and rob it, as long as it doesn't harm the people of my Great Song Dynasty, I don't care who it is." ”

Wang Zeng hurriedly persuaded: "Official, you have to think twice about this matter, and you can't make a reckless decision. It is easy to send soldiers and horses out to fight, but when soldiers and horses go out to fight, the food and baggage required are a large expense. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji, he believed that Kou Ji raised this matter and would definitely give a solution that would satisfy everyone.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "The soldiers and horses sent out are out to be robbers, to rob money and grain for themselves, what do they want to do with baggage and food, they win the battle and eat meat, and if they lose, they eat chaff and vegetables." All the court needed to pay was some armaments.

At present, firearms have gradually entered the army.

Those swords, guns, swords, and halberds that were replaced in the army will then be useless.

Instead of piling it up in the warehouse and waiting for it to become moldy, it is better to send it to the soldiers to take it out and use it. ”

Kou Ji not only wanted the money of his neighbors, but also used his neighbors to turn the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty into tigers and wolves who ate meat and drank blood.

Wang Zeng's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Can you use someone else?" ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

Wang Zeng sighed and said: "It is better to let others take their lives to rob money than our own people to rob money." ”

Kou Ji thought that Wang Zeng would not agree with this matter, but he didn't expect Wang Zeng to say such a thing.

Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng strangely.

Wang Zeng pouted and said, "Don't look at the old man like this, the old man is not a corrupt Confucian." In the eyes of the old man, there are only the people of the Great Song Dynasty, because the old man's food and clothing are all from the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Others have no old husbands, and the old men don't care if they live or die. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he grinned, and so did Zhao Zhen.

Through three major wars, the Great Song Dynasty established the current situation of the hegemon of the four seas.

Zhao Zhen knew in his heart that the road to a strong country was inseparable from war.

In the past, the kind of Chaofeng who only thought about peace and did not want to fight was impossible to make the Great Song Dynasty stronger.

Only with fists can we fight a truly powerful country.

Wang Zeng's attitude towards war was exactly what Zhao Zhen wanted.

Kou Ji heard Wang Zeng's words and said with a smile: "At the beginning, it was natural to use others. But as warfare continues to change, it is inevitable that our people will also be involved.

I'm just going to say what will happen in advance. ”

When Wang Zeng heard this, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What is the use of you taking it out now in the future?" Now it's someone else who goes out to help me Da Song work hard, even if they spell out the dog's brain, the old man doesn't care. ”

When Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji heard this, they laughed.

Wang Zeng snorted at Kou Ji: "You are the book, and the matter of promoting education must be handed over to the old man." You can't take all the credit alone. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Zhen with a smile.

Zhao Zhen understood and said with a smile: "Then the matter of implementing education will be handed over to Wang Aiqing." ”

Wang Zeng saluted Zhao Zhen and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After a pause, Wang Zeng asked, "When will it start?" ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, looked at Kou Ji and said, "How long does it take to compile a phonology book?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "...... around October"

Wang Zeng was stunned, "It's just half a year, you are so confident." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Wang Xiang just wait and see." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Since the book will be completed around October, then Wang Aiqing will start preparing for the implementation of Mengxue now." When the book is written, Mongolian studies in various places can be established.

One should be spent, temporarily there is the treasury out.

If the treasury is insufficient, you can ask me, and I will send the money from the inner treasury and the Yizizipu to support it. ”

Wang Zeng nodded slowly.

Kou Ji smiled on the side: "The official, the person who wants to ...... minister"

Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "When I turn around, I will send the doctors of Taixue and Guozijian to the past." If it is not enough, I will tell the world that all those who are proficient in phonology are invited to enter Beijing. ”

Kou Ji said: "The minister will wait for the good news of the official family." ”

As soon as the matter was settled, Koji left the palace.

For some time after that, Kou Ji was busy compiling phonological books and translating books on big food.

The matter of foreign wars was carried out by the Privy Council, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not know about it.

Wang Zeng didn't go out and talk nonsense.

Therefore, few people know about the entry of the Annan Army into Jiaozhi.

When Chen Yaozhi of Kaifeng Prefecture was transferred out of Bianjing, it caused some turmoil, but the turmoil was not great, and the Manchu civil and military paid attention to it for a few days, and they no longer paid attention to this matter.

Those who left Bianjing City with Chen Yaozhi also included the group of people from Baghdad.

Zhao Zhen had already agreed to allow their army to rush to Jiaozhi through the Great Song Dynasty, and their minds had already flown to Jiaozhi, so naturally they had no intention of staying in Bianjing City any longer.

Kou Ji studied hard for a day, and as soon as he walked out of the study and stretched his waist, Kou Zhong appeared in front of Kou Ji in a leisurely manner.

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and asked, "Uncle Zhong, are you in trouble?" ”

Kou Zhong nodded slowly, but did not speak.

Kou Ji understood, led Kou Zhong into the study, and after sitting down, Kou Zhong said in a deep voice: "Young master, there is a letter from the west." The news of those barbarians was clear.

There were 50,000 of them.

More than 2,000 of them have no tongues.

There were also more than 20,000 well-equipped soldiers and horses, and most of the rest were slaves. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was thoughtful.

The barbarians in Kou Zhong's mouth are those big cannibals from Baghdad.

Kou Ji had already guessed that there were a lot of big cannibals, but he didn't expect that there were 50,000 people.

Among them, there were 2,000 horses.

Judging by their numbers, Koji could probably tell that the young man named Gargamel should have brought some of the Caliph's elite.

After all, the caliph has been reduced to a puppet, and there are not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and even fewer horses and horses can be mobilized.

The fact that he was able to send 2,000 horses to follow the young man to the Great Song Dynasty shows that he has great expectations for the young man's trip.

However, Koji didn't care about this time.

He had already decided to throw the young man and his men to Cochin.

Whether they can break free from the quagmire of Jiaozhi depends on his mind.

After all, Jiaozhi was followed by not only the soldiers and horses of them and the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi, but also the Annan army of the Great Song Dynasty, and Cao Yu, who took the opportunity to fight the autumn wind.

Kou Ji pondered for a while, and said to Kou Zhong: "There are 50,000 barbarians, only 3,000 are dispatched, and the remaining 47,000 people are stationed on the border of the Western Regions.

You send someone to tell Zhang Yuan and let him keep an eye on those barbarians.

If those barbarians make any changes, let me know immediately. ”

Kou Zhong nodded slowly.

Kou Ji said again: "You send someone to find Cao Yu again, and let him contact the people of the Li Dynasty through the maritime merchants." Later, if the people of Jiaozhi go to war with those barbarians and need good armor, I can provide some, but they must give us enough benefits. ”

Kou Zhong nodded again.

Kou Ji said no more, and Kou Zhong withdrew from the study.

After Kou Zhong left, Kou Ji pondered slightly, "I should send a letter to Chen Yao when I go back, and ask him to tell Annan Jun and let them use their relationship to lure some more people out of the mountains and forests."

Their three-way war, Cao Yong and Chen Yaozhi are staring at each other, and the war will definitely go on forever.

I don't have to worry about selling the armaments of the Great Song Dynasty.

If necessary, you can raise the price and scavenge them cleanly. ”

The black-hearted Kou Ji, before the war in Jiaozhi was completely started, had already begun to calculate the money bags of the Annan Army, the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi, and the big cannibals.

With Chen Yaozhi and Cao Yong leading the soldiers and horses to watch, they were destined to be squeezed by Kou Ji, and it was impossible to resist.

The war in Jiaozhi started quietly, and there was no wave in the Great Song Dynasty.

Now the eyes of the people of the Great Song Dynasty are all on the imperial court to repair books.

It's April.

Zhao Zhen issued an order to summon the great Confucians who understand music and rhyme in the world to enter Beijing, and bluntly said that he would compile a book that would bless hundreds of generations.

The great Confucians from all over the Great Song Dynasty couldn't resist the temptation and rushed to Bianjing City one after another.

After they learned about the role of phonological books in the mouth of Jia Changchao, they did not hesitate to devote themselves to the compilation of phonological books.

As Kou Ji said, compiling a phonological book is definitely a blessing for a hundred generations.

A group of Confucian people can't resist this temptation to stay for hundreds of generations.

One by one, they spared no effort to help the imperial court compile phonological books.

There are those who call for friends, and there are those who contribute some of their own phonological books.

Everyone tried their best to contribute to the compilation of phonological books, just to leave a name on them when they were written.

The matter of compiling a phonology book does not require much effort from Kou Ji at all.

He only went over occasionally and passed on some of the phonological knowledge he knew to Jia Changchao and others.

Then help them solve some of the troubles they encounter.

Jia Changchao and others, with the help of Kou Ji, made rapid progress.

The peony garden in Ruisheng Garden has become a hot research place.

Those new science and technology scholars who returned to Bianjing City were stunned one by one after seeing the grand scene in Ruisheng Garden.

"Don't look at it, they have their errands, and you have your errands."

Kou Ji stood at the gate of Ruisheng Garden and greeted him, and the new science and technology scholars who were staring at the direction of the Peony Garden in a daze were slowly coming back to their senses.

Kou Ji led them into the orchid garden.

There were already a few officials who knew how to eat food and were waiting.

After Kou Ji led the new science and technology scholar into the Orchid Garden Palace, he let people seal the door.

The new scholars were confused.

Kou Ji stared at them and said solemnly, "I haven't revealed to you what we're going to do before. Now that you have returned to Beijing, I should tell you the truth.

Before I tell you the truth, there is one thing I must tell you.

That is, whatever you do here, you must declare to the outside world that you are revising the annals of history. ”
