In a dream.

Liu Zheng marked the ten numbers from "0" to "9", marked the decimal point, and then marked the units from one to 100 million, and after writing, the more he looked at these numbers, the more twisted he became, especially according to the format of bamboo slips from top to bottom, which also made him realize that the numbers may not be very suitable for this era.

He was a little discouraged, and handed it to Xun Cai with a wry smile: "If this set of numbers is used, it is only more convenient." Probably even a child can come up with a substitution symbol. And the higher the number, it's not as simple as writing two or three words. ”

He shook his head and sighed subconsciously: "It seems that some things are taken for granted, and we still have to work on things that can be improved first." If you want to use this set of numbers, you have to improve the papermaking technique and then make charcoal...... Correct the writing format. What a hassle. Nothing ...... good."

The words stopped abruptly, Xun Cai looked up suddenly, his heart froze, and then he said in a trembling voice: "Correction? If I'm not mistaken, you...... You want to say adaptation? ”

She suddenly reacted, from the moment she handed over the bamboo slip to Liu Zheng for the examination, Liu Zheng's deeds were different.

If you are an ordinary person, when you see the "Persuasion" of the ancestors, you must be scrutinizing the wonders and philosophies in it, but Liu Zheng's first thought is to perfect the punctuation.

After that, Liu Zheng was even more out of control, if it weren't for the personal feelings of his children and his children, he could come up with something new almost every day.

From the creation of initials and finals based on Youzhou dialect, to the numbers that seem to be useless on bamboo slips today......

She originally thought that the other party was talented and doing great things for the benefit of the country and the people, but she didn't expect to wait for the word "correction"!

Xun Cai suddenly remembered what Liu Zheng said before, and remembered Liu Zheng's support for Zou Qi's attitude towards life as an orthodox scholar, and even Liu Zheng's so-called eight people broke 50,000 moths...... It's like a different way of thinking and acting in a different world.

So, isn't Liu Gongzi really in the same world as himself? And he himself already knew?

So even if he is worried that he is not in the same world as him, he still happily attracts his clansmen to Youzhou, and even promises in his heart that he will not marry in this life, what is the point?

Xun Cai's face was pale, and his heart was like a knife.

Liu Zheng was also stunned.

He didn't expect to say such a thing when he was lost.

And listening to Xun Cai's tone, it was obvious that the two were not in the same world, and maybe they thought they had deceived her.

Correction......

Isn't the era right now?

How could such a thing be said?!

Liu Zheng couldn't wait to slap himself, his mind turned sharply, and he smiled dryly: "I'm a paranoid person, and I always feel ......."

"Gongzi Liu, can you tell the truth to the concubine? Who are you? ”

With a wave of his hand, Xun Cai conjured up a bamboo slip with punctuation marks written on it, pushed all the bamboo slips on the small table in front of Liu Zheng, and said in a trembling voice: "This dream, punctuation, the initials and finals of Youzhou dialect, and even this number...... What is it for? ”

She conjured up the silk painting, looked at Liu Zheng's face portrait, and said with teary eyes: "Correction? What is positive for you? Association? Chamber of commerce? And what are those? The concubine is lonely and unheard, and she doesn't know that there are other worlds outside of this world, and she doesn't know that cultivators have such a way......"

"Nuxun, I'm ......"

"Liu Gongzi, you and I still don't have to ...... So gracious. ”

Xun Cai suddenly conjured a dagger, held the dagger and aimed it at his neck, tears dripping down the small table, "The concubine only hates this life, and I don't know anyone...... but they have gone astray, and have been taken advantage of by you. ”

She sobbed bitterly: "Young Master Liu...... If you really want to change the world, why don't you just walk in front of people? It must be through me by such a treacherous means...... I, the Xun family, are here to change the world? Aren't you General Lu Zhonglang's protégé? Why not use Fan Yang Lu to advance your claims? The concubine is just a woman, and she should not be of great use. The concubine body is just ...... Presumptuous demand...... It's just a vain desire for a marriage. ”

Liu Zheng felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, his eyes were a little blurred, and he sighed: "I had a dream...... That dream is like the space you and I have with now, but it is a hundred times more real. I couldn't wait to get out, but I wasn't locked up in the house in my dream. I've been in that world for a long time as a different person. ”

He recalled his previous life and took a deep breath, "In my dream, there is peace at home, and if the four Yi surrender, it is a local war, at least there is still peace at home, and no one runs out to rebel...... This is the reason why I must pacify the moth thieves and unify the Han Dynasty. ”

“……”

Xun Cai was stunned, if it weren't for this dream, she wouldn't have believed Liu Zheng's words, but now she still believes it a little - she thinks of this, and she becomes more and more uncomfortable...... Why are my ears so soft?

"And even if it's war, there's no excesses and taxes. Injuries healed...... Most diseases are curable. It's typhoid fever, and it's just a matter of a few pills. ”

Liu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Everyone can read and write, and everyone can understand the world." People don't have to work hard to survive, they have their own life pursuits. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, are games, if you play well, you can achieve an extraordinary life...... In the dream, you and I don't have to travel thousands of miles on horseback to meet each other, as long as we hold a delicate mechanical object, we can speak, and it is not impossible to meet through that object. ”

“……”

Looking at Liu Zheng's blurred face, Xun Cai was saddened at the same time, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sketch such a world in his mind.

"In order to facilitate the literacy of sentient beings, pinyin has been used, and punctuation marks have been ...... Yes, that's where I learned it. It's ridiculous to say, Xu is a native of Youzhou, and my dream is based on Youzhou dialect, and according to the method of initials and finals, everyone in the Central Plains can communicate. ”

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, "Technology in the dream...... These two words are another way of saying the study of things. The study of things has developed to the extreme...... Not to mention the delicate mechanism object that connects thousands of miles. Have you ever seen an iron paper kite flying in the sky? No rope, no need to resist the wind, just rely on one mechanism after another, let the iron paper kite take off in the air, and it can also carry people all over the world...... Yes, the world has been seen through by the people there - it's just a round blue planet. It's the starry sky, and people have mechanisms that can go up, and when they go up, they connect with the mechanisms on the ground and then transmit the images...... Nuxun, is it, would you rather stay in the midst of war, or do you like such a colorful world? ”

“……”

Xun Cai's mind was in a mess, and he heard Liu Zheng say again: "I forgot to say, men and women are equal in the dream...... At least in the perception of the general public, there is no distinction between men and women. You can also give full play to your abilities, show your face, revitalize your family, and even become a sage who is admired by the world and will be remembered for centuries...... And rest assured, the whole world really remembers you. Even in the land of the barbarians, those people will remember you...... The problem of language barrier can also be solved by means of instruments – and even through learning, there is no longer a language barrier. ”

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and raised his hand to reach for the dagger in Xun Cai's hand, "Compared to the single variety of food here, the language is not understood, the war is raging, and the plague is everywhere...... Why can't I just work towards that kind of world? Naturally, you will say that what I have experienced is fake, but some of the knowledge in it can also be used...... What's more, I didn't want to change the whole world, and I knew that there were some things that could not be tolerated in our time. Just say that everyone learns, and it should not be tolerated by scholars. I didn't want to do it...... So I want you to help me judge whether what I've taken out is good or bad. ”

He grabbed the dagger, drew it without resistance, and confessed, "You think I'm using you...... That's right, actually. I'm taking advantage of you. I know that the Xun family behind you is powerful and can influence the Shi clan...... Why don't you say I don't choose a teacher, the teacher and I haven't seen each other for many years, usually I am a bookkeeper, I don't have any interest, how dare I climb high? It was only recently that I dreamed of that world that I dared to jump twice. I didn't expect that I would be locked up in such a dream with you again, so I naturally went far away. ”

Looking at the dagger in the distance, Xun Cai was stunned and said, "If I hadn't debunked it today, you would have planned to hide it from me for the rest of your life?" ”

"Yes, for a lifetime. I can't let you know that behind a talented person is actually a mediocre soul. ”

Liu Zheng reached out to hold Xun Cai's hand, Xun Cai twitched, but Liu Zheng held it hard, "I'm a man...... Female Xun. For the sake of dignity, I won't say that. But you are uncomfortable, I feel distressed when I look at it. This is the second time...... How do you tell me to explain? I won't say again, is it possible for you to stab yourself in reality? I'm worried! ”

He got up and sat down beside Xun Cai, did not kneel and sit, but sat with his legs bent, ignoring Xun Cai's struggle, and hugged Xun Cai.

"Liu Gongzi ......"

Xun Cai struggled a few times, and Liu Zheng hugged him tightly, "You have said it all your life, and you still don't accept your fate?" Or do you think it would be useful for you to keep struggling with this? I seriously ask you, if there is no one in the world, Liu someone, are you really willing to marry someone else? If you don't want to, your father will force you to marry one day, and when the time comes, are you willing? ”

Xun Cai's breath stagnated, and then his heart was sour, and he threw himself into Liu Zheng's arms and cried bitterly: "The concubine is a daughter's family, and the concubine is a daughter's family who follows the rules...... Can't you leave some dignity for your concubine? You just look at the world and feel that everyone in the world should do what you want...... What about concubines? A lonely and unheard of woman like a concubine will really be very tired to get along with you! Why did God choose a concubine, and why did he ......"

"Resign yourself to your fate......"

Liu Zheng hugged Xun Cai tightly, and said with a confused gaze: "I know it's not fair to you, but I haven't thought about fairness either...... Ever since the day you said sorcery, I sensed that you had resigned yourself to your fate. I thought right then, I must marry you. You are a noble woman and a woman of the highest rank in this world, and I am doing nothing, and marrying you can be regarded as a good story in the mouth of a scholar. I'm a little guy, a lot of vanity, and I want to be the big guy in the bedside story......"

He paused, "As for the eight people I said, it broke 50,000...... It's true. But it's mostly a coincidence, not that I'm not afraid. Today, I heard someone call me a god, saying that he would rather die than live. I love that feeling in my heart. Agreed. It was recognized. No one questioned me. Because I am for the sake of the Han and the well-being of the people, those who do not approve are anti-thieves. It's a great feeling. You don't know, in the dream I am also an ordinary person, looking at those who are better than me, those who have a good life, I feel angry in my heart...... I'm jealous. I'm fine now, though. ”
