He County, located in the south of Huainan County, is connected to Juchao in the southwest, borders the Yangtze River in the south, is hilly in the north, is adjacent to Dongcheng, and is the Yangtze River impact plain in the central and southern regions, with fertile land and easy farming. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion www.biquge.info there were many escapees from the county households, Liu Xuan and Yuan Shu fought for Yangzhou, and they all moved the people to return to their own rule, and the county was empty, so Yuan Yao moved the county to the displaced people here.

In June of the first year of Jian'an, Huainan County and the county government, the weather was hot, Sun Quan had rolled up his sleeves, held a big water bladder in his left hand and drank it one by one, and the other hand pointed at the map hanging on the screen.

"Zimin, connect Dongcheng with the northeast of the county?" Sun Quan asked.

"Yes, Zhong Mou will help me calculate the consumption of the house and the distribution of cattle and farming tools", Yuan Yao responded, and offered to ask Sun Quan to help.

"Zhongmou? Zhongmou", Yuan Yao saw that he didn't respond, and shouted twice.

"Well, ah, what's the matter with Zimin?". Sun Quan responded.

"Come and help me calculate the cattle and farm tools used by 50,000 homeless households, which is quite a headache," Yuan Yao repeated.

"Heh, I'm just afraid that the Yuan family and the Shi clan won't have a headache about the land in the displaced counties?" , Sun Quan walked over and sneered.

"If Zhongmou is like this, he will no longer be a friend", Yuan Yao handed him the bamboo slips, he ridiculed Sun Quan's family, the wealthy family has been quite accustomed, Sun Quan is most unaccustomed to seeing them occupy the grain for themselves, encroach on the land, and force the peasant households to be servants.

"Is there a Shilusu in the East City?" , Sun Quan took the book and asked.

"A few months ago, Lu Su led the people to Dongcheng to avoid thieves, he was generous and modest, his father admired his reputation and wanted to hire him as the mayor of Dongcheng, and the messenger who wanted to come has passed," Yuan Yao thought about it and said.

"Tomorrow I will visit this Lu Su", that is my great governor, Sun Quan suppressed the excitement in his chest, and offered Lu Zijing who even Liu resisted Wei, occupied Jingxiang, and Jiangdong to view the world.

"Wait a few days, I will visit with Zhongmou, let's arrange the affairs of Tuntian first, Sun Langjiang", Yuan Yao smiled bitterly, and handed the bamboo slip to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan didn't reply, took the bamboo slip and looked at it, got up and went to the courtyard, broke a branch, pulled out the twigs and leaves and counted them on the ground, and occasionally added a few simplified characters to the side.

Yuan Yao got up and walked out, and saw him performing calculations on the ground, but he couldn't recognize the Arabic characters, only that it was a simplified Chinese character with notes and deleted strokes. Asked

"What kind of symbol did Zhong Mou draw, and how did he delete this character and remove a few strokes."

Sun Quan heard him and introduced the Arabic symbols to him, and when he saw that he was thinking for a while, he was thinking about how to interpret the simplified characters. Simplified Chinese characters are bound to be implemented in the future, papermaking technology is thousands of years ahead of the world, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of illiterate people is as high as 80 percent, in addition to a series of factors such as the isolation of the country and backwardness, the complexity of Chinese characters is indeed the most critical, and it is undoubtedly much easier to delete it. It's just that how to implement it in the future is good, and the family is probably resolutely opposed to this change.

"Zhongmou, what is this zero?" , Yuan Yao thought about it, but still couldn't figure out the meaning of zero.

Sun Quan smiled dumbly, he thought that Yuan Yao would ask simplified characters, but he didn't think about it in his heart, he didn't expect him to ask zero. It's just that China's zero-use is early, and the concept is vague, and the I Ching says, 'nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth'. But there is always confusion between one and zero.

Sun Quan forcibly explained, Yuan Yao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Sun Quan had no choice but to say it and use it like this.

Before the abacus appeared, it was too inefficient to rely solely on the abacus, and even after it appeared, it was necessary to have a master to use the abacus to calculate quickly.

Sun Quan did the four calculations again, but Yuan Yao learned them easily. Sun Quan, who has the idea of being a teacher, was about to teach the equation geometry, when he suddenly laughed, his eldest brother's life was already so difficult, so don't harm him anymore. When I thought about it, I came up with a way to implement simplified characters.

Sun Quan walked out of the door, called the soldier over, and took him to the camp of the homeless camp, and the soldier took the order and took him away, leaving Yuan Yao to practice using the data on the bamboo slips in the mansion to practice using numbers.

After arriving at the camp, Sun Quan greeted ten homeless families and took out half a bag of sugar.

Write one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and ten characters on the ground.

Said: "I, Sun Zhongmou, is the general of Tun Tian Zhonglang, today and everyone and do a game, this is ten words, one to ten, I will explain in detail, an hour later, the first to take half of the sugar, the second to take the remaining half, in turn, those who can take more, but after four or five times, I am only afraid that the sugar has been taken out, how?" ”

When the people saw this, they saw that the sugar was snow-white, and they didn't know what it was, but the sugar industry had seen it, and the color was black and brown, and they couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts, but a few people saw that Sun Quan was peaceful and eager to try.

Seeing this, Sun Quan said with relief: "It's just ten numbers, and the most are only three or four strokes, this thing is very sweet", said and dipped a little in his mouth, pretending to be intoxicated.

Seeing this, several homeless families came forward to worship and were willing to give it a try.

Sun Quan introduced the numbers to them one by one, and at the end he drew a circle, saying that this is zero, that is, nothing.

Several families of displaced people separated, each drawing on the ground, some of them forgot, boldly came to ask Sun Quan again, Sun Quan also replied gently, so gradually they all came to inquire again, Sun Quan had no choice but to explain again.

The displaced people dispersed and continued to remember, and Sun Quan couldn't go over to comment and explain, which was unfair, so he had to stand aside and watch their memories.

An hour passed in a hurry, Sun Quan erased the numbers on the ground, and saw that everyone did not make any small movements, so that everyone stood in a row, separated by three steps, and did not peek left and right, he walked away five or six steps, opened his mouth to say the numbers at will, and everyone squatted down to write.

Sun Quan slowly read out the mobile phone numbers of his later generations one by one, his eyes were fixed on the people, watching them write one by one, and then they took three steps back and rewrote the numbers from one to ten plus zero eleven on the ground.

Looking down and looking at them one by one, the two are tied for first place, all right, three are tied for second, one is wrong, and most of the rest are wrong for three or four.

The results of the experiment are good, the simple numbers are easy to remember, but it is a little difficult to divide the sugar, so I had no choice but to take out another bag of sugar, roughly according to half a bag of sugar divided and divided, and finally divided with everyone. And he said to the multitude,

"Today's candy will be punished by anyone who dares to ask for it, and tomorrow will come," he said, turning away and ignoring the joy of those who had tried it.

When he returned to the house, he saw that Yuan Yao had finished calculating several rolls of bamboo slips, and the person was still on the ground and calculated it again, so he stepped forward and wrote Simplified Chinese characters 1 to 9 on the ground to explain to Yuan Yao.

"Zimin, how about teaching the soldiers to learn some deleted words?" , Sun Quan asked.

"There are some uses, but they are not big in the end, the soldiers go back and forth to fight, or transport equipment, and their own grain and grass officers are calculated with the army, and it is useless to learn words," Yuan Yao said.

...... Sun Quan was silent, in this era of strong scholars, it was still difficult for a poor family to be an official, and it seemed impossible to implement simplified Chinese characters from the grassroots level of the army.
