The two babies sat in Lotte's arms, looking at their father's face, wanting to reach out and touch it halfway and then retract it, their faces were scared and good.

Looking at the two children's fear and unfamiliarity with themselves, and recalling that they have been officials outside for the past two years, and have not fulfilled their responsibilities in educating their children, Lotte can't help but sigh that his father is really incompetent.

Looking at the bits and pieces of the table, Le Zhao asked very well: "Daddy, what are you doing?" ”

Holding the two babies in his arms, he patiently explained to the two children: "Daddy is making a generator, a thing that can generate electricity, if it is made into a light bulb in the future, the electricity emitted by this side can be lit, and it can replace the candle oil lamp ...... at night!" ”

"Daddy, is the candle oil lamp on?" Without waiting for Lotte to finish speaking, Le Zhao stretched out his little hand and asked.

"Candles and oil lamps are much brighter, dozens of times brighter!" Lotte laughed.

Le Yu also stretched out his little hand and stared at Lotte with very admiring eyes: "Daddy, my mother read today's newspaper, and the newspaper said that Daddy, you built a ship, don't want a horse and no one to push it, you can go ......!" ”

"Wrong, you're wrong!" Le Zhao shook Le Yu's words and shouted: "Niangniang said that boats in the water use people to paddle, and horses can't walk on the water." ”

Stretching out his little hand and scratching his head, Le Yu was a little embarrassed.

"Daddy, the newspaper says that the ship you built can fire at night and smoke during the day, and it can travel hundreds of miles a day!" Le Zhao continued, and asked in surprise: "Is this true?" ”

Le Yu next to him also looked at his father in surprise, wondering if this was true.

"Do you know how long a hundred miles is?" Lotte asked rhetorically.

The two little guys glanced at each other, shook their heads in unison, and Le Yu said with his little hand open: "Niangniang said that it is far away anyway!" ”

Rubbing the little heads of the two guys, Lotte smiled and said: "A few hundred miles a day is nothing, if Daddy builds a train in the future, maybe he can travel a thousand miles a day!" ”

"Daddy, you're amazing!" Stars almost popped out of Le Zhao's adoring eyes.

Le Yu hugged Lotte's neck with his hand and said, "Daddy, when will you take me and Brother Zhao to take the boat that is on fire?" ”

"Yes, most, when will Daddy take me and Brother Yu on that burning boat?" Le Zhao also hugged Lotte's neck and shouted.

"Then Daddy is going to test how many words you know!" Lotte smiled, "As long as you know enough 100 words, Daddy will take you to the boat!" ”

Hearing that he was literate, Le Zhaocheng raised his little nose and shouted very loudly: "Daddy, my mother taught us to read, but the words are so difficult to recognize......

"Yes, yes, that word is not only difficult to recognize, but also difficult to write, the mother said not only to recognize us, but also to learn to write!" Le Yu also said with a bitter face.

The day after returning home, Aunt Qin intended to let the two children learn to read and write, but now it has begun, Lotte can't help but be speechless, according to the education concept of later generations of Huaxia, the four-year-old child is learning in the big class.

Thinking of ah, oh uh, Lotte immediately came up with an idea and asked, "Do you two find it difficult to read?" ”

The two little ones nodded in unison. There are many Chinese characters that have not been simplified in ancient times, which are not only difficult to write and more difficult to recognize, but also have no pinyin as a mark for later generations, and it is no wonder that two four-year-old children find it difficult to learn to read.

Remembering Hanyu Pinyin, Lotte said, "Daddy taught you a simple way to read and write, okay?" ”

Hearing this, the two little ones nodded in unison.

Take out a blank piece of paper, Lotte ordered the maid to take care of the two children, and began to follow the memory of pinyin in the previous life, and then rolled up his sleeves and dipped the pen in ink, and wrote out the Chinese pinyin aoe and the corresponding Chinese foley annotation on the white paper, twenty-three initials, thirty-nine finals, everything that can be thought of is listed.

Twenty-three initials are good to say, the relatively complex is thirty-nine finals, after all, the finals involve a single vowel and another vowel, more appropriate pre-nasal and post-nasal, usually do not pay attention, from the perspective of education to think carefully, it is complicated.

When Lotte was writing Hanyu Pinyin, a servant came over and saluted Lotte and said, "Master Hou, the third lady wants the slave maid to take the two Yanai to read and write!" ”

Lotte, who was writing pinyin, said: "You go and tell the third lady, the two little guys are here with the official, this literacy thing, teach the official me!" ”

"That's what it's like to be a father!" After Lotte's words fell, a voice came in from outside.

"Your Highness!" The maidservant standing at the door hurriedly curts.

You don't need to watch the music and the sky knows who it is, so she smiled and said, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

Emperor Mao walked in with a food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "My husband was socializing yesterday evening, and I didn't have breakfast this morning, I'm afraid that my husband won't be able to hold on, so I'll send some breakfast!" ”

Lotte couldn't help but be speechless, so he had to silently take the food box.

"Mother!"

Le Zhao and Le Yu called out obediently, which was very regular.

In ancient feudal society, the concubine could not be called his mother by birth to his biological mother, but could only call the biological mother of the son-in-law his mother as his mother; The concubine is called the half-mother other than the mother, including the concubine's own biological mother) as the aunt. Moreover, the concubine is the death of his biological mother, and he cannot bury his mother in person. Even the royal family of the Song Dynasty had rules that the prince could only call the queen as his mother, and could not recognize his biological mother as a concubine.

If the concubine is filial and has a deep relationship with the biological mother, this is a great torture for the mother and son; If the concubine has a cold temperament and disdains to admit his biological mother, it will be a great harm to the biological mother herself.

In view of the inhumane old customs of this era, and it is based on this special situation that the family has set up a rule at home, all children born in the concubine room are called the main wife as the mother, the biological mother is called the mother, and the concubine is called the mother according to the size of the row, so that everyone is equal as much as possible.

Without waiting for Lotte to speak, Emperor Mao's eyes fell on the paper written by Lotte, and he asked, "Master Hou, what is this writing, why can't I read any of it?" ”

Without waiting for Lotte to speak, Emperor Mao suddenly remembered: "I remember, the secret pressure written on the silver ticket issued by the husband in the ticket number is the word on this paper. ”

"This word is similar to the secret of the ticket number, but it has a completely different pronunciation!" Lotte shook his head and smiled, and then said: "This is the Chinese pinyin invented for the husband, you only need to use the initials to spell and add the finals, you can pronounce the pronunciation of Chinese characters, not like using "Explanation of Words", with straight homophones to mark the pronunciation of Chinese characters!" ”

"Hanyu Pinyin?" Naturally, Emperor Mao didn't know what Hanyu Pinyin was.

"Demonstrate to Your Highness for your brother, Your Highness knows the beauty of this pinyin!" Lotte naturally knew that pinyin was not so good and ordinary, and began to explain it to Emperor Mao in detail.

Since we are traversers, we must naturally be uncompromising, unreserved, solid and thorough in the implementation of the doctrine of taking, and there must be no waste in the slightest.

In ancient China, there was no pinyin alphabet, until the late Ming Dynasty Western missionary Dou Mari came to China, in order to facilitate the learning of Chinese characters, only to try to use the Roman alphabet to spell the phonetic pronunciation of Chinese characters, just like today's Chinese students mark the Chinese characters next to the English foley phonetics.

In ancient times, when there was no pinyin, the Chinese people used the method of straight pronunciation or reverse cutting to phonetize Chinese characters. Straight phonetic method, is to use homophones to indicate the pronunciation of Chinese characters, if the homophones are rare words, is the note can not be read, the Han Dynasty Xu Shen's "Explanation of the Word" is a straight sound method to mark. The reverse cut method is to use two Chinese characters to phonetize another Chinese character, the reverse cut word is the same as the initial of the note word, and the reverse cut word is the same as the finals and tone of the note word. However, these two methods of phonetic pronunciation are not convenient to use.

Hanyu Pinyin is a Latinization program for Chinese characters officially promulgated by the Chinese government in later generations, and it is a set of extremely mature primary education programs that have been implemented and practiced repeatedly for dozens of years, and it is undoubtedly very successful. Compared with the straight sound method and the reverse cut method, the literacy of Chinese pinyin characters is the most convenient and accurate.

Emperor Mao De was smart, listened to Lotte's explanation for most of the time, tried to recognize a few simple initials and finals, and tried to spell for a while, and said very happily: "The Chinese character pinyin method invented by Fujun is not only smooth to spell Chinese characters, but also simple in method, just ......"

"Just what?" Lotte asked.

Emperor Mao said hesitantly: "It's just that these crooked tadpole characters look even more difficult to understand!" ”

"It's not a tadpole!" Lotte smiled, "This is the letter that makes up the romaji!" ”

Emperor Maude said: "Roman characters, I hear that the name is not the word of Fanbang?" ”

Lotte said: "Your Highness is right, Rome is a state west of Taixi, in terms of land area, I am still larger in the Song Dynasty, and in terms of Guming, it is not inferior to half of my ancient Song Dynasty, and it is even more brilliant......"

"So, Rome is just a glorious Song Dynasty in the past, and now I can't do it?" Emperor Maud grasped the meaning of Lotte's words, and her expression was a little smug.

Lotte waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, don't think that my Great Song Dynasty has a slight advantage in the Ming Dynasty and be arrogant, although my Great Song Dynasty is slightly ahead, but it does not have any advantage in philosophy, and the ancient philosophy handed down from Rome can just make up for my shortcomings in philosophy in China!" ”

"What is philosophy?" Maude Emperor Ji was puzzled.

"Philosophy is ......" Lotte is also speechless, what is philosophy? Mo said that it was optimistic, that is, the definition of philosophy in the academic circles in later generations has not been given a definition that is acceptable to everyone, and it is impossible to predict that there is no possibility of reaching an agreement.

After thinking about it, Lotte reluctantly said a very unreliable definition: "The word philosophy is very mysterious, not a word or two words can be explained, the meaning is wisdom, using logic to study everything that can be studied......"

"I have a lot of things in the Great Song Dynasty, looking at the countless sages and sages in ancient and modern times, what treasures are there, and what is the boast of an uncivilized barbaric state!" Emperor Maude was a little unconvinced, looked at Lotte and smiled: "Fanbang is great, not as great as my husband, Fanbang people can walk on the river without people rowing a boat?" Can the people of Fanbang use their characters to spell out the Chinese characters of my Great Song Dynasty? ”

This high hat wears ...... Lotte was also speechless.

"Daddy, when are you going to take us on that boat?" Le Yu came over and said.

"Daddy, daddy, take us to the boat!" Le Zhao also shouted.

Lotte smiled, bent down and said to the two children: "Didn't Daddy say before, after you know a hundred words, Daddy will take you to the boat!" ”

The two children were deflated when they heard this, and it would take at least ten days and eight days to recognize these 100 words.

Emperor Mao next to him smiled: "Don't listen to your father, tomorrow my mother will take you to the Bianhe River to take a boat to play!" ”
