That night, Li Chengqian slept at Kong Wen's, and after a night of clouds and rain, he left all his troubles behind, looking at the shy and timid appearance of the beauties around him, and his heart was ...... with pride again.

In short, Li Chengqian's legs were weak when he went to court the next day, but his spirit was very good.

The court is still the same, the old men should sleep, they should chat, anyway, Lao Li is not at home, Li Chengqian can handle very limited things, these old people are too lazy to show themselves again, no matter how good the performance is, what's the use of watching the people who are not there.

"Ahem......" Li Chengqian attracted the attention of the old men with a light cough: "The palace has decided to send surveyors to conduct a preliminary survey of the railway between Chang'an and Luoyang starting today. ”

"Your Highness, the train you mentioned has not yet been completed, is it too early to start the study of the railway?" Du Zhenglun woke up from his nap almost instantly, and said with a frown.

"This matter has been decided, but it is just a preliminary calculation, at most it is a waste of some manpower, but if the train trial production is successful, it can increase the speed of railway construction, from this point of view, it is worth it." Li Chengqian's tone was unquestionable, clearly telling the old men below that this matter had been determined and could not be changed.

"Now that His Highness has decided, the ministers have no objection." After Du Zhenglun glanced at the others, he bowed slightly and retreated.

Li Chengqian said very clearly, at most, some manpower will be wasted, that is, if not, it will not make a big move, work the people and lose money, in this case, Du Zhenglun, Yu Zhining and others will naturally not be villains in vain.

"In addition, this palace has recently planned to get a set of phonetic methods suitable for young children, and today you are all here, just to help this palace ginseng so-and-so." After the introduction was finished, Li Chengqian finally led the topic to the right path and said the main purpose.

In an instant, the East Palace court was quiet, and everyone who was sleeping or chatting was in good spirits.

The old goods of the Sixteen Guards were basically all taken away by the old man, and the people left behind were all nitpicky guys, most of these people thought they were clear, and they didn't like to contact people, although their knowledge was good, they were often overkill, and most people in the court disliked them.

But there is a certain undeniable thing that the knowledge of these old people is really good, and there are no less than a few teachers among Li Chengqian.

So when Li Chengqian said that he would make a set of phonetic methods suitable for children's literacy, the first thought of these old guys was nothing else, but to find fault!

But fortunately, Li Chengqian had already been prepared, and since he dared to bring it up in front of them, he was naturally not afraid of them finding faults. After all, the Chinese phonetic thing has been tested in 'actual combat' in later generations, and even if the old guys want to find faults, they can't find fault with it.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you talking about? Is it easy to grasp? What age is it suitable for? Yu Zhining, the old man, has more contact with Li Chengqian, and has also participated in the manufacture of sea ships, which can be regarded as half of the prince's line, so it is also the proper meaning of the question for him to ask.

"This note that Fahongong wanted to name it 'Hanyu Zhuyin', as for whether it is easy to grasp...... This requires all of you, first of all, the pronunciation should be simple, and secondly, it should be easy to remember and easy to use. Li Chengqian paused when he said this, recalled his age when he learned pinyin in later generations, and then said: "As for the age suitable for young children, this palace thinks that it can be applied in Mengxue." ”

Therefore, this palace needs you to collect and find out all the commonly used words, and eliminate some uncommonly used words separately, so we need to make two kinds of dictionaries. One is a dictionary for the general public, which only includes commonly used words and is easy to learn; The other is the Great Dictionary, which includes all Chinese characters in China, including ancient and modern sounds, ancient meanings and modern meanings! ”

Li Chengqian said it easily, and the old guys below were stupid, because don't look at what he said simply, but the amount of work in this is by no means something that can be completed in a day or two.

And it seems that this job is not necessary, because the former Sui already has the book "Cut Rhyme", if you need to look up the pronunciation, you can find it in it, and then make a new set of phonetics is completely taking off your pants and farting.

Li Chengqian also knew that this matter was a little troublesome, but he also had his own ideas, so just when the old guys were about to raise objections, he raised his hand to stop them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this palace knows that you want to talk about "Cut Rhyme", but there is one thing I think is a big problem here, that is, the book "Cut Rhyme" must have a certain cultural foundation to understand. The people in the court are all scholars, and it can be said that most of them are teachers of the main palace, but there are some things that the main palace has to say. ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath when he said this, he knew that his approach today was a challenge to the cultural circles of the Tang Dynasty, and success or failure depended on the next performance.

"This palace thinks that you have put the cart before the horse on the issue of "Cut Rhyme", and it is not right for the dolls to learn the characters first and then learn the phonetics."

"To learn Chinese characters, you must first learn Zhuyin, you must know how to read each character, and only when you know how to read it will you understand the meaning. You have all been to Mongolian school, think about how troublesome it was to learn Mongolian school when you were a child, don't you realize the disadvantages here? ”

Speaking of which, Hongu can give an example. For example, the word 'reading', even when the dolls are illiterate, will understand the meaning of reading, because they hear others mention the word every day, but they just can't write. ”

"So what if we let the dolls learn Zhuyin first? Is it that when teaching Mengtong, as long as they see Zhuyin, they will immediately be able to read and write? How much time can I save in this way? Of course, 'reading' is just one example given by Hongu, and it may be a little simpler, but you should be able to understand it. ”

Li Chengqian stopped here when he said this, giving the old guy below time to react, after all, the question he raised was very subversive, and the old guy was afraid that he would not be able to reverse his thinking for a while.

But what can be done, his baby is about to be born, and he, who is about to become a father, must create a better learning environment for the baby.

It's not easy for dolls to read! It's not easy to learn ancient Chinese, think about the hard days when I first arrived in Datang, I took a book and asked others 'how to read this word', and then think about the 'anger' ...... when I found out that I knew basically all the words.

His Royal Highness the Great Crown Prince doesn't want his baby to go on his own old path, and only after learning all the Chinese characters does he know that there is still "Cut Rhyme", God knows how much psychological shadow this will cause to the baby!
