Chapter 273: Solution
"Holy Lord, the Ninth Princess asks to see you."
Hearing that the ninth princess was coming, Li Yuan was a little strange, but he still hurriedly ordered someone to bring her in.
Not long after, the Ninth Princess walked in from outside, and Li Yuan asked, "Is there something wrong with Xiao Jiu entering the palace?" ”
The Ninth Princess excitedly put the stack of paper on the desk and said, "Father, look at this." ”
Li Yuan was a little curious, picked it up and took a look.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. After reading a few words, Li Yuan smiled: "It's all some simple truths and knowledge, but it's also neat, what does Xiao Jiu do to show his father this?" ”
The Ninth Princess said: "Father, these things are indeed not profound, and they are just some truths and knowledge, but if this is used as an enlightenment reading material for people all over the world, wouldn't it be much better?" ”
As soon as the ninth princess said this, Li Yuan suddenly came to her senses, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
If those children are reading, these are just right, and not only let them understand some things of etiquette and honesty, but also allow them to learn some simple knowledge, and lay the foundation for learning various things in the future.
Of course, although Li Yuan understood, he was not particularly excited, this kind of enlightenment reading was there before this, even if it was not as good as this "Three Character Classic", but it was still usable, for example, the "Thousand Character Text" was very good.
"Okay, it's really good, the last sentence is still from my Datang, good, good."
Li Yuan said a few good words, and then put it down, and the ninth princess saw that her father was not particularly excited, so she hurriedly continued: "Father, the son thinks that this "Three Character Classic" should be spread out and let those scholars in the world learn it. ”
"Yes, I'll leave this to Kong Aiqing."
Li Yuan was still indifferent, and he didn't even care who wrote this thing.
Kong Yingda didn't take this "Three Character Classic" seriously, because it was just some simple principles and knowledge, and in his opinion, it was indeed suitable for children to read.
Kong Yingda responded very calmly, and the ninth princess wanted to cry without tears.
I was excited to be like that, how did they react like that?
"Father, if you look at the punctuation marks on these papers, they can be used to break sentences, and different punctuation marks can represent different sense of language, which is very helpful for some questionable folds or something."
There is no way, the "Three Character Classic" can't attract attention, so she can only say the punctuation.
At first, Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to this, but when the Ninth Princess said this, Li Yuan suddenly realized that there were many strange symbols on the paper he had just seen.
He picked it up and looked at it again, and sure enough, there was.
"Xiao Jiu, what is this?"
The ninth princess explained the punctuation situation, but the ninth princess had not finished explaining, and Li Yuan and Kong Yingda were already walking around the imperial study excitedly.
"Holy one, good thing, good thing......"
"Kong Aiqing, it's indeed a good thing, a good thing......"
The two of them couldn't help themselves with excitement, the ninth princess was a little stunned after seeing the reaction of the two of them, the two of them reacted so blandly to such a good thing as the "Three Character Classic", and the punctuation marks were average, why were the two of them excited like this?
The ninth princess smiled bitterly speechlessly.
And after Li Yuan and Kong Yingda finally calmed down, Li Yuan asked, "Xiao Jiu, who invented this punctuation mark?" ”
"Father, the three-character scripture and punctuation marks were invented by Qin Tian, by the way, he also invented chalk, using this to write things, can save brushes and paper, so that more people have the opportunity to practice calligraphy."
Hearing that it was Qin Tian, Li Yuan and Kong Yingda were shocked, and when they heard that Qin Tian had also invented chalk, the two of them were suddenly a little stimulated by these news and didn't know what to say.
"The Three Character Classic", punctuation, and chalk, these are all special contributions to many places in the Tang Dynasty, why did Qin Tian invent them all at once?
can't accept it, the two of them can't accept it a little, this Qin Tian is simply a genius.
After a long time, Li Yuan said: "Kong Aiqing, the problem we just talked about can finally be solved, but the promotion of this punctuation mark will also bother you." ”
"Holy Rest assured, the minister will do his best to promote these things."
Li Yuan nodded: "Come on, go to the Qin Mansion and reward ......"
These things invented by Qin Tian are so useful, if you don't reward them, you can't do it, the palace people retreated after receiving the order, and Kong Yingda hurriedly followed out of the palace.
There are some things that he still needs to talk to Qin Tian alone, and just what the Ninth Princess just said is not enough for him to understand the use of punctuation.
Therefore, it is necessary to meet Qin Tian.
And just when the palace people and Kong Yingda left the palace, Li Yuan and the ninth princess stayed in the imperial study and did not go out.
"Father, haven't you always been afraid of the family, if there are more people in the world who can afford to read, can the family still be so arrogant?"
The reason why the family can become a family and dare to be arrogant is because there are many scholars in their family, and above the court, if they want to be an official, they have to be scholars.
But if other children of the poor family gradually studied and became officials, the power of the family would naturally be weakened.
But the premise is that the children of poor families have the money to study, if they can save the cost of paper, although the effect is not particularly large, but it is also somewhat helpful.
Li Yuan nodded after hearing the words of the Ninth Princess: "Yes, what does Xiao Jiu mean?" ”
"Father, the price of this chalk is not expensive, it is much cheaper than paper, if it is produced in large quantities, it will give those who read a chance, not only those enlightened children, but also some children from poor families, it is also very helpful."
After the ninth princess finished speaking, she looked at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan nodded: "Yes, you tell Qin Tian to find a way to produce chalk in large quantities, and then sell it to readers at the reserve price." ”
"Whoa!"
Chalk this thing, in fact, can not solve the problem of reading for poor children, this problem is very deep-rooted, not that you can solve it if you invent chalk, only when all people who want to read can afford to read, this problem can be completely solved.
But the appearance of chalk can more or less alleviate this situation, although it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but it also gives hope to some readers.
After the ninth princess and Li Yuan finished saying this, they retreated, and Li Yuan looked at his daughter and suddenly sighed.
He suddenly regretted that he had married the ninth princess to Luo Cheng in the first place, so that now it is so difficult to find her a home.
