Chapter 20: Junshi Book City
Zhao Ji then discussed with Wang Anshi the specific operation mode of the bank, most of which were the operation mode of the commercial bank that Zhao Ji had seen in later generations, although it may not be in line with the current social environment, but it was very beneficial to Wang Anshi to conceive a modern commercial bank.
········
Zhao Ji stepped onto the war horse and waved his hand to the Iron Guard guards: "Let's go!" ”
"Dusk Jun, this is going back to the palace?" Li Peiling said on the side.
"It's still early, go to the civilization school. Captain Li must abide by military regulations! Zhao Ji replied and rode away, and the guards hurriedly followed.
"Li Huangmen, what have Sima Guang been busy with lately? Why do you have a problem with me? Zhao Ji asked Li Xiang'an, who was following closely.
"Sima Xianggong has been busy preparing for the establishment of the four universities. Maybe it's because the saint is urging him to be in a hurry, and things are too busy and a little complaining. Li Xiang'an frowned and responded to Zhao Ji briefly.
In fact, Li Xiangan also felt that Zhao Ji was too impulsive, but he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of touching Zhao Ji's moldy head.
When Zhao Ji heard such a brief answer, he secretly said in his heart: "Okay, you Li Xiang'an, you have also learned not to tell the truth, it's okay, I should also beat it." ”
Zhao Ji slowed down his horse and galloped, and said with a slight smile: "Li Huangmen, you are still thinking about the old master!" ”
"Holy." One sentence frightened Li Xiang'an to make his horse unstable, and he fell off the horse after shouting Shengshang.
"Hahahaha." Zhao Ji ignored Li Xiang'an and accelerated his horse.
The Iron Guard guards bypassed Li Xiang'an and followed closely. Li Xiangan patted the dirt on his body, got up, didn't think much about it, and got back on the horse to chase after him. But I was very nervous in my heart, and all kinds of thoughts came to my heart for a while: "Don't the officials trust me?" No, it won't. I'm also doing this for the good of God. The Holy One will not not understand. ”
Speaking of Zhao Ji's temper, it has been getting worse and worse recently, so Li Xiangan is very worried. "The two palace mothers seem to have been centrifuged, and the official family no longer cares about their temper, has this change gone far? Wang Anshi, a pickled household, asked Sima Guang to push the matter to him like this, hoping that Sima Guang would not push it again. Li Xiang'an was very anxious.
Thinking of him Li Xiang'an, he has also been slightly famous in the township since he was a child, but unfortunately because of the damn errand law, Li Zheng ruined his family, his father died in another country, and his mother was forced to hang herself. At the age of ten, he was sold into the palace and became a eunuch. He endured the humiliation and burden, and finally survived in the palace. Although he took revenge and hated it, he couldn't go back to the past, his parents wouldn't be reborn, and he couldn't have a perfect body.
Although over the years, he has married more than a dozen such hard-working women and sheltered dozens of children, but he always feels angry. The reason is still dissatisfaction with this society. Now Zhao Ji is changing the law, it is for the sake of these hard-working people.
Zhao Ji's new law made him see the hope of a hard-working person coming forward, and he didn't want to see a human tragedy like him again. This belief made Li Xiangan extremely loyal to Zhao Ji, and at the same time, Li Xiangan was very afraid of the failure of the change. The failure of the Qingli New Deal was only a few years ago.
But Zhao Ji was too impatient, and he made enemies on all sides at the beginning. If it weren't for Zhao Ji's amazing means and eyesight, he controlled the 160,000 army at once, and then promoted a large number of outstanding generals, and then firmly held the military power in his own hands. I'm afraid that those scholars have long instigated the Empress Dowager Cao to abolish the emperor.
Originally, seeing that Zhao Ji was very supported by the Empress Dowager Cao, Li Xiang'an was very down-to-earth, as long as the two palace ladies supported Zhao Ji, then the scholar doctor would not be able to make waves.
However, after the reform was initiated, although Zhao Ji delegated power to the political affairs hall, he was very anxious about the progress of the reform.
The palace maids and eunuchs were cut by as much as half at one time, and the internal service province was reorganized in imitation of the political affairs hall, and the power of the queen mother of the two palaces was almost completely deprived. Zhao Ji also connived at several wives as guards, ruining the royal atmosphere. The accumulation of these things made the Queen Mother of the two palaces very dissatisfied.
Because of the loan and money, Zhao Ji laid off more than 200,000 redundant officials at one time, all of which were allocated to the four university offices, and outside Bianjing City, he built Sima Shucheng to house the four university houses and nearly 100,000 teachers and students. Moreover, colleges and schools at all levels are under renovation and construction. Zhao Ji ordered the government affairs hall that the four universities and colleges at all levels must be completed by the end of the year, the reorganization of the various armies must also be completed by the end of the year, and the sale of state-owned monopoly and other workshops and minerals must also be completed by the end of the year. In addition to measuring the field property, Zhao Ji had to arrange all the other laws and regulations in place within a year.
The reorganization of the government yamen, the issuance of jiaozi, the establishment of academies, the reconstruction of workshops and minerals, etc., were all done together. The comfortable Da Song has never been so busy, and the officials complained bitterly, but they didn't dare not do it. Zhao Ji personally led the team, dismissed many officials who had derelict their duties, and raided the homes of more than a dozen officials who were hiding at home and writing poems and detaining tricks.
Zhao Wei also appointed Cai Jing as the prefect of Shanghai, borrowed 10 million yuan from the Shangmeng cabinet, recruited a large number of people, and purchased farm tools, clothes, grain, tents and other tools needed for development, so as to prepare for the development flow. It's all busy.
The political hall asked Zhao Ji to slow down the pace of law change. But he was rejected by Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji scolded the ministers in the political hall: "When I wanted to be rewarded, why didn't I see you saying that I wanted less?" Na Yulu is not used to doing things? ”
Junshi Book City is located in the southeast of Bianjing, ten miles southeast, built according to the water, and the area is equivalent to one-fifth of Bianjing.
When I came to Junshi Book City, I didn't see the city gate and city wall, and I didn't hear the sound of reading. The whole Junshi Book City is a big construction site, and construction is happening everywhere. Sima Guang was sweating profusely and was inspecting with a group of scribes.
"Mr. Junshi has worked hard." Zhao Ji dismounted and said.
When a group of scribes saw that the official family was coming, they bowed and bowed their hands to salute, but Sima Guang had a straight face, and he didn't see the courtesy, and said directly: "Isn't the emperor Wang Anshi?" Why did you get here? ”
Sima Guang was really busy enough, and Zhao Ji only saw Wang Anshi's credit, but not his credit. Zhao Ji always calls Wang Anshi Mr., and Mr. Junshi calls him. The difference between the two words is that there is intimacy. At Wang Anshi's place, everything was arranged by Wang Anshi. When he came to him, Zhao Ji was like a life-urging ghost. I don't listen to his advice, so that people will be busy with smoke. And most of the time, Zhao Ji stayed in the barracks, couldn't see anyone, and only knew how to use force to suppress people and create fear.
"Your Majesty, Wang Anshi." Zhao Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. Generally speaking, ministers in respect will be called the saint, not the emperor. I don't know if Sima Guang is dissatisfied with himself, or jealous that Wang Anshi has almost become an emperor.
"Hehehe." Zhao Ji smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I can complete the compilation of various books in a year and a half, and only Mr. Junshi has this ability, so I will remember such a great credit." ”
Seeing Zhao Ji like this, Sima Guang couldn't keep a straight face anymore, and bowed his hand and said: "Weichen is not a resentful woman, the way to govern the country is to be relaxed and relaxed, and you must not act impatiently." The new law will encounter no fewer problems than the old law, and when it is slowly promoted, it will be checked and filled. Such eagerness as the Holy One would only cause many constraints, and besides, the treasury would be empty beyond the means of loans. ”
"That's what Mr. Junshi said. Mr. Junshi is capable and steady, and the success or failure of the law change depends on Mr. Junshi. Is there a scheme for font simplification and phonetics? How many copies of each subject were printed? Zhao Ji flattered Sima Guang first, and then eagerly said what he meant.
As early as the second year of Xining, when Zhao Ji had just crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi discussed the simplification and phonetics of Chinese characters, as well as punctuation marks, writing quills, fountain pens and other tools for disseminating and popularizing culture. What Zhao Ji is talking about is the simplified Chinese characters and pinyin of later generations, as well as the way of writing. Simplifying the font and shrinking the font can allow more people to gain more knowledge through a limited medium.
In addition to simplifying the font, the simplified Chinese characters of later generations also had a great effect on completely turning Chinese characters into square characters, and all Chinese characters could be composed by folding six lines horizontally and vertically. Compared to the 26 letters of the West, it is much simpler.
In later generations, when the People's Republic of China was founded, the literacy rate was only less than 10 percent, that is to say, the illiterate and semi-literate rate was as high as 90 percent. It was not until after the simplification of Chinese characters that literacy was gradually completed. Literacy is the foundation for the development of science and technology and social development.
One of the main roots of the transition from antiquity to modern times is the popularization of culture, and knowledge is no longer monopolized by a few. After Zhao Ji traveled to the Song Dynasty, he paid great attention to this, and the Great Song Dynasty, which was at its peak of culture, could not just become a paradise for scholars.
At first, Wang Anshi disagreed, thinking that this was a redundant move. With Zhao Ji's overall explanation, Wang Anshi realized the great significance.
However, whether it is simplifying the font or phonetic, what Zhao Ji said is copied from later generations. As a family, Wang Anshi immediately saw the shortcomings of what Zhao Ji said. First of all, the font written by Zhao Ji is too simplified, losing the meaning of Chinese characters, and it is not beautiful enough, so it needs to be simplified. The second is that pinyin is not the official dialect of Kaifeng Mansion, but the dialect of Youzhou, which is occupied by the Khitan, which is not suitable for promotion, and needs to be re-annotated according to the rhyme.
The task of simplifying the font and phonetic pronunciation and compiling the dictionary was entrusted to Su Zizhan. 7,680,000 copies of various books were printed, which could meet the needs of colleges and schools at all levels. There are too many books needed to build libraries in various states and regions, and they can't be completed in a year and a half, so they can only be built in Bianjing first. "When Sima Guang reported on the amount of tasks completed, he was full of energy, and it was obvious that he was able to do these things very remarkably.
The task of simplifying Chinese characters, phonetizing Chinese characters, and compiling dictionaries was originally recommended by Wang Anshi to the writer Ouyang Xiu, but Ouyang Xiu was soon angry with Zhao Ji's vicious verdict. This task was assigned to Sima Guang, but Sima Guang still had to compile textbooks for various subjects. This matter was pushed again and again, and it was pushed to Su Shi. As the head of a civilized school, Su Shi has an unshirkable responsibility.
"Seven million six hundred and eighty thousand? How can it be so fast? Zhao asked in surprise. According to the current printing technology, it is fast to complete 80,000 copies in half a year.
"Shengshang, this is the Zizhan Dictionary." Without waiting for Sima Guang to answer Zhao Ji's question, Su Shi handed over a large book about ten centimeters thick.
"Zizhan Dictionary?" Zhao Ji exclaimed, then picked up the big one, and saw that there were five authors signed on the cover, namely: Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mitty, Wang Milling, and Buddha Yin. Zhao Ji didn't commend these five people first, but flipped through them casually. The font is beautiful, and the phonetic pronunciation is based on Kaifeng official dialect. The first dozens of pages of the dictionary talk about the principles of simplification and phonetic pronunciation of Chinese characters, as well as the principles of punctuation and dictionary. While browsing, Zhao Ji kept asking Su Shi about what he didn't understand. Su Shi was overjoyed in his heart, with this dictionary, his status in the hearts of the official family may not be lost to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi.
