Yang Gai was suddenly very afraid that this person named Liu Jishan suddenly pounced in front of him. In this way, he will be passive, and it is not a good thing for a courtier to die in front of him. I can't run away from the reputation of a "brutal" legend.

"Companion, let's feed him some porridge and drink first, it's weird and scary." Yang Reform, an otaku, was really frightened by this Liu Jishan, and his image was too scary. His voice seemed to be dying at any moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty......" Wang Chengen agreed.

……

"Thank you for your majesty's kindness ......" Liu Jishan, who had drunk a few mouthfuls of white porridge, whimpered and thanked the emperor. He also professes guilty.

"What are your sins? You are a speech official, what do you want to say......" Yang Reform was speechless, and said in his heart: Now that you think of being guilty, why didn't you think of it at that time?

"The guilty minister should not contradict His Majesty, despise His Majesty's authority, should not destroy His Majesty's hard work, should not oppose His Majesty's advocacy of thrift and thrift, and the minister is guilty, please ......punish His Majesty" Liu Jishan drank some porridge, the energy in the porridge was estimated to be rapidly absorbed by the body, and now his voice is much better, at least not so angry. It's also a lot louder.

Yang Gengai listened to Liu Jishan's voice a lot louder, and then he put his mind at ease. After thinking about it, he said: "Today, when you see me, I didn't come to listen to your accusation, I heard my eldest companion say that you have something important to tell me, hoping to redeem your gaffe?" Yang Gengai remembered that Wang Chengen said that Liu Jishan had something to give himself, and hoped that he would not write his mistakes into the history books.

“…… Your Majesty, the guilty ministers are saving paper, shrinking a few pieces of paper into a piece of paper, and I also want to share your Majesty's worries in this regard, save some expenses for my Ming Dynasty, and atone for the sins of the ministers...... "Liu Jishan looked distressed.

Hearing Liu Jishan say this, Yang Reform became interested. Shrink a few sheets of paper into one, doesn't that mean that you have to use small print? Hehe, this kid is going to be the opponent of the literati! Well, indeed, in the promotion of small characters, I need a person who stands in the foreground and fights with those literati, this Liu Jishan can be a man.

Promote small characters, one is to save paper, saving money is true, to fight and torture those old courtiers is also a saying, there is to write small characters, many strokes of words, especially traditional characters (orthographic characters), it is quite difficult to read, writing, will certainly cause the rise and popularization of abbreviated characters, this is also the original intention of Yang reform to implement small characters, Yang reform originally studied nine years of compulsory education, learned simplified characters, occasionally some traditional Chinese characters (orthographic characters) are barely coped, once the whole article is traditional characters, that is to torture Yang reform, Yang Gai felt that instead of torturing himself, it was better to torture others.

Asking the ministers to write small characters was just a whim at the time, and as a tool for calling the literati, he never thought that he could change the habits and traditions inherent in the literati for thousands of years. But now it's different, there is a person who is willing to stand in the front and fight for himself, Yang Gai feels that this thing can be tried. It's done, I don't have to worry about Jian Fan in the future, I don't have to be tortured by Jian Fan, I failed, and I just lost a Liu Jishan, I didn't have any loss at all, this, it's worth a try.

“…… That's right, Liu Aiqing, tell me what you think. Yang Gengai now looked at this man with a disheveled head, dressed in white, and a tired expression, which was more pleasing to the eye, and he called out one by one.

“…… The guilty minister thinks that the thrift and thrift advocated by His Majesty is really a great good thing, and it is really a blessing for all the people. How much ink do I need? If you use small characters and shrink a few sheets of paper into one piece, as Your Majesty advocated, how much paper must be saved? How much ink is saved? How much can you save for the imperial court? It is really His Majesty's virtue and politics that ...... "Liu Jishan heard the emperor call himself Aiqing, so he was energetic, and he patted the emperor without money. Blowing a small "initiative" into a moral policy. Return the blessings of all the people in the world. It can only be described in one word: thick-skinned.

"Hehe......" Liu Jishan's sycophants were good, Yang Gai smiled, and after laughing a few times, he said: "Yes, Liu Aiqing, this can indeed save expenses in small print, but just saying it is not good, Liu Aiqing has thought about how to shrink a few pieces of paper into one?" Is there any specific solution? ”

Yang Reform is not ready to go into battle in person, and is ready to see if this Liu Jishan can meet his heart. The ultimate goal of Yang's reform is actually the same board writing method as modern typesetting, from left to right, line after line, with punctuation in the middle. Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Yang reform. Yang Gengai planned to try this person who took the initiative to come over, and use him to fight with the literati, so that he could enjoy himself after him, which was much better than standing up to fight.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister thinks that as Your Majesty said, we should use words the size of thumb nails to narrow the distance between words, so that you can shrink four or five pieces of paper into one piece ......of paper, which can save more than fifty or sixty percent of the original expenses, and it can really save a lot of money for the imperial court, which is actually the virtue and politics of His Majesty the Emperor."

Yang Reform doesn't care about his sycophants at all, what he cares about is that this person is willing to stand in the front and fight with the literati in the world for himself, so it is enough, he is behind him, just give some support. I don't want to stand up and lead a group of people to do this, it's too tiring, Yang Reform doesn't have the energy and practice to do this.

"This, Liu Aiqing, you can't understand me for a while, but there is a written paper for me to see, isn't it clear at a glance?" It is better to say 10,000 words than to see the actual effect once, Yang Reform This is to be an emperor, not a technical engineer, so naturally he has no energy to "invent" a new way of writing with this Liu Jishan.

"Your Majesty, yes, yes, Wechen has already figured out the way to write, and I ask Your Majesty to take a look." Liu Jishan immediately replied happily that the emperor was a little interested in this, that is, his "atonement" plan seemed to be successful, and he could also make himself not leave a shameful, ridiculous, and pathetic reputation in history. Of course, if the emperor is not interested in this, then I am afraid that there is no other way to go except death, of course, even if he dies, his name of infamy and ridicule through the ages can be regarded as a stay, so he cannot die, and he must change the record left in the history books.

Liu Jishan fumbled in his arms for a while, took out a few pieces of paper, raised them above his head, and reported: "Your Majesty, Weichen has prepared a few examples, and wrote down the things that were originally written on three or four pieces of paper into a piece of paper, and asked Your Majesty to look at them." ”

Yang Gai didn't expect that this Liu Jishan also spent a little effort to get a sample for himself, and he was also a little interested, and said, "Submit it." ”

Wang Chengen walked over, took the few pieces of paper held high above Liu Jishan's head, turned around, flipped through them without leaving a trace, shook and shaken, saw nothing unusual, and then put them in front of Chongzhen.

Yang Gengai looked through it, and sure enough, one of the pieces of paper was densely filled with words, and the back few were the original commonly used writing methods, this Liu Jishan, sure enough, moved the words on a few pieces of paper to a piece of paper, and the handwriting became a lot smaller.

However, this writing is really not very good-looking, and it is compared with my own handwriting. Some of the traditional characters, because there are too many strokes, are much larger than other characters, which makes people look quite uncomfortable. Presumably, there are also opinions on the words on that piece of paper, why are they all words on a piece of paper, and you are much older than me? That's not fair, isn't it?

What's more, there is no punctuation yet, and it looks like this piece of paper is slightly better than ghost drawing. Look at the back ones again, the handwriting is clear, the typography is clear, and the one written is elegant.

Yang Gai frowned and said, "Liu Aiqing, your character is a combination of several pieces of paper, but you are too ugly to read, you can't make it out at all!" Do you think the ministers will agree? ”

Liu Jishan also got this thing in a hurry, and immediately ran to kneel outside the noon gate, so there was no time to perfect this thing, logically speaking, if you don't say that the things offered to the emperor are perfect, at least you can't stain the holy eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Liu Jishan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this was written by Weichen in a hurry, so it is inevitable that there will be some ...... Please also ask Your Majesty to give me some time, and Weichen will write very well. ”

Yang Gai thought about it for a while, and felt that he should still help this Liu Jishan, and he still needed someone to stand in the front desk and fight those literati in the ring. So he said: "Liu Aiqing, after I read your ligature, I have some suggestions, I don't know if you can listen to them." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen must obey Your Majesty's orders and do his best for Your Majesty...... Please also ask Your Majesty for advice, and Wechen will definitely remember it......"

Liu Jishan now has no other choice but to take refuge in the emperor and be a vanguard for the emperor, even if he will fight with the literati of the world, Liu Jishan has no way out, retreat is death! Liu Jishan has worked hard for more than ten years, and finally won the lift, jinshi, and official, and died like this, how can Liu Jishan figure it out, anyway, it is also a shame to sell his life to the emperor, so let's fight. Liu Jishan has made up his mind to stand on the emperor's side.
