At this time, Li Xi didn't know that someone had already escaped from his control, pushing Nian Qianyao's matter into the vortex of Yongzheng's forging authority through the literary prison. The case of Cha Si Ting made him lament the inertia of history, and the turmoil in the country made him lament that history was no longer controllable.

The four years of Yongzheng in the north and the four years of the Holy Dao in the south are all a literary year in the history books of later generations.

The words called "soldier characters" by the people and "military literature" by Shilin invaded the field of education on a large scale, and many Mongolian schools, supplementary schools, and even county schools began to teach this kind of "military language", and even reflected in the newspapers, and some newspapers with little influence began to use this kind of language.

For the Confucian Party, this was another extermination of the Chinese Taoist system after Yinghua implemented the horizontal character order in Mengxue and County Studies. They jumped again, public opinion was already extremely complicated because of the affairs of the East and West Courtyards, Xiao Xie's delegation returned to China, bringing back a large number of scenery stories, which was even more eye-catching, coupled with their clamour, this country was particularly lively.

What is this "military text"?

Simplified characters......

To be exact, it is a simplified character without standards.

"Military literature" originated from the several expansions of the Anglo-Chinese Army, and after the expansion of the army, it is necessary to maintain the combat strength of a modern army, and one of the foundations is to continue to maintain the clerical operations of the Siwei era, so as to organize and manage, which requires more than 100,000 officers and men of the army and navy to have a rough understanding of writing and ink. And to do this, it is not as simple as recruiting poor scholars into the army and letting them teach officers and soldiers.

In order to achieve the goal of being able to read and write in the shortest possible time, the implementation of simplified Chinese is the best choice.

The situation of the country is different from that of the army, the education system of the middle school is steadily advancing, the Taoist Party of Baicheng College has just come out, and the new atmosphere of a country's scholars has not yet been condensed and formed, and the urgency is not high.

Unexpectedly, the torrent of history has broken through the embankment and turned onto this road.

The early debut of the "Jianzi Movement" that Li Xi should have thought of was nothing more than a chain reaction after he unscrewed the faucet of the East and West Courtyards.

There are few people in the West Courtyard, and the ingredients are simple, so you can not mention it. In order to take care of a citizen and allow them to speak out in financial matters, the Eastern Courtyard has a relatively large number of seats, with 160 seats, which are basically calculated according to the number of people in 200,000 to 1.

Even if you have lived in the local area for three years, the annual tax is over ten taels, and you are a student, a graduate of a county school or a county

There are also hundreds of thousands of people who are eligible to participate in the election.

At this time, the hearts of this country have not yet changed, and they have not seen through the essence of the Eastern Courtyard, and they only regard it as a yamen such as the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I heard that as long as there are enough people who are elected, they can become officials and speak out in a country's financial affairs, not only these hundreds of thousands of people moved, but also many more uneducated squires also moved.

It is unreasonable to interfere with state affairs and speak out for the people if you don't know big characters, but it is also inappropriate to leave aside the most active people in these places, so when the court lists the qualifications for selection, it leaves a back door in Article 3, and organizes the "cultural qualification" examination at the county school, and you are eligible if you pass the examination.

This back door caused countless troubles, and the Ministry of Culture and Culture had an extra way to make a fortune, and Du Chaxian's performance soared, and in addition to bribery, the squires had to read and read because they had to keep the bottom of the exam papers.

Since the end of the year, local supplementary schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and in order to teach these students the most things in the fastest time, the teaching gentlemen have all chosen the "military language", anyway, the imperial court did not say that this kind of simplified script cannot be used.

This matter has caused disputes at all levels, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as the local county governments, have both agreed and opposed, and the reasons are very good.

Those who oppose it believe that the text carries the Tao, and the characters are like people, and reducing the font is like shaving the hair and making it easy to wear, which is detrimental to the Chinese heritage.

Those who agree believe that from the oracle bone inscription, the golden inscription to the seal inscription, and then to the official script and the regular script under the Tang and Song dynasties, the characters used today have changed all the way, which is part of the Chinese heritage. If there is a change today, it is to adapt to the times, which is not the same thing as forcibly changing the shaving of the face of the alien race.

When the lawsuits of all parties came to Li Shi, the opposition was naturally the literati, and most of the people who agreed were businessmen and soldiers, and Li Xi himself had no idea, he felt that both parties were reasonable.

When he found Duan Hong about this, he heard that this was the case, and the old man pulled Chen Yuanlong to discuss it together, and Li Xian thought that the old man would definitely oppose it, after all, Chen Yuanlong was born in Confucianism. ..., but unexpectedly, Chen Yuanlong opened his mouth and said: "This is not a question of change, but a question of how to change." This sentence showed the level and made Li Xian awe-inspired. Chen Yuanlong was born in Haining Chen family, full of knowledge, he said, the language of the past dynasties are changing, although the Ming and Qing dynasties have not changed much, before the north has the "Kangxi Dictionary", the south has the "Yinghua Dictionary", but also the most of the words have been standardized, but the folk language still has a lot of conventions and simplifications, commonly used words are more and more simplified.

At present, this trend of simplified characters not only comes from military literature, but also from "commercial literature". Merchants are becoming more and more active, and there are more and more information, and the words are being simplified by themselves. Even if there is no style of election by the Eastern Court, the simplified Chinese characters with different standards will be popularized in the business world.

Chen Yuanlong has read the "military text" and he thinks that some words are well simplified, and some words are debatable, in summary, this is not a question of whether the text should be changed, but how to change, which can be convenient and can not lose the original meaning of Chinese characters.

Li Xi was a little embarrassed, most of the military literature was made by him when he was teaching Si Wei, some words used the simplified characters of his previous life, and some words remained the same, after all, he fused the memory of "Li Si", and there was nothing alienated from the words of this era.

Chen Yuanlong said: "It's good to change like change, simplifying it to change, the former is very complicated, easy to recognize and difficult to write." But if you become a relative, you will lose the original meaning of this word. The guide to change the guide is missing the heaviest way of this word, which is already excessive reduction. ”

Duan Hongshi said: "The military document is made in an emergency, and the focus is purely for convenience, not other considerations. It's like talking about the benefits of capital and ignoring its ferocity. If you do this kind of bigotry when it is difficult to get up and it is not enough to cheer up without androgenics, then there is nothing to say. If you do such an extreme thing when the country is steadily advancing, it will be a tool for the sake of a tool, and you will lose the truth. ”

Hearing this, Li Shi already knew the bottom in his heart, and even guessed Duan Hongshi's intention to pull Chen Yuanlong.

The old man said, "That's right, the words change with the times, but they follow the natural time, not the will of the master." At present, this country has started the tide of simplified characters, and the imperial court should lead in the middle. Character cultivation is a great cause, how can it be missing the old man and others?"

So the old man Duan, who had always been just a cloth cloth, finally took the name of a scholar of Hongwenguan University, and took Chen Yuanlong and a group of old Confucians to start sorting out the new "orthographic characters". In order to facilitate reading and writing, but without diminishing the purpose of the original meaning, on the basis of the "Anglo-Chinese Dictionary", the work of simplifying the text.

The predecessor of the "Yinghua Dictionary" was the "Vocabulary" of the Ming Dynasty, and the people also called the "Wanli Dictionary", and the "Kangxi Dictionary" was compiled on this basis. Although there is an official dictionary, there are still many changes in many words, such as alien shapes, deformations, and borrowings, which need to be repaired.

Under the "official characters" or "orthographic characters", whether it is military writing, commercial writing, or the "official writing" in the local yamen, they all have their own simplifications for many characters. With the active economy, the increase in the amount of information, and the complexity of the correspondence, these simplified characters will inevitably spread in the society, and the work done by Duan Hongshi and others is to standardize and guide the spontaneous movement of simplified characters.

Compared with Li Xian's previous life, although the Yinghua text movement is also simplified, the result is very different from the former. To put it bluntly, the focus of simplification is to simplify the complicated and commonly used characters, and the greater effect is to further unify the characters and organize the chaotic simplified character movement that spontaneously arose from the people's families at the national level.

"What's the matter with that word?"

But Li Xi found a strange-looking character in the "Simplified Version of the Sacred Dao Dictionary" that Duan Hongshi and Chen Yuanlong quickly came up with.

This is a "multiplication" word, and there are many treasures on the prefix of "wanton".

"This is a zigzag for His Majesty......"

Chen Yuanlong was nervous, this was asking the emperor to change his name, and it was very taboo.

"Avoid!?"

Li Xi understood that regarding the evasion of his name, the previous practice was to stop the right half of the word "Shi" on a horizontal side, and not break it out, which was a compromise he made with the court scholars. However, in fact, the people have their own way, and they all have their own set of methods to avoid "wanton". The capitalization of the numbers in the account book, as well as the "wanton" of "unscrupulous", are all added with various radicals, anyway, everyone knows that it is this word at a glance, and it is changed to avoid the emperor's obscenity.

Li Xi just doesn't want this kind of thing to exist, today everyone knows what the origin of this word is, and in the future, everyone will think that this word is written like this, and history has changed like this. ..., the changes in the Chinese script are also caused by many political changes. Some words, if you can sort out their changes, you can almost see the context of thousands of years of history. But the problem is that a lot of historical materials have been lost, and most of the changes are no longer clear, so everyone has to write stupidly according to them, and this is how many complicated words come from.

Now that Chen Yuanlong has come out like this, it is another way of thinking, wanting Li Xi to "change his name", so that the people will no longer shy away from the word "wanton". I believe that Duan Hongshi is still glad that he changed his name to Li Si early, and if he is still called "Li Si", it will be a big trouble.

The emperor wants to give his prince a cold name, so that when he becomes the emperor in the future, the people will not be too troublesome.

"I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, why can't I change this word!"

Li Xian is uncompromising, what is the matter with adding a treasure cover......

"But if Your Majesty doesn't change it, the people can't use this word."

Chen Yuanlong is still insisting that he can't use the word "wanton", which is a big trouble for everyone.

"Why can't it be used!? If you want to avoid it, you should only avoid it. ”

Li Xi hurriedly threw out the solution he had already thought of, and took advantage of the tide of the word movement to change the tradition of evasion. Chen Yuanlong was stunned for a moment and admired and worshipped.

Just when the south was making a big fuss about the simplified character movement, and even the emperor returned the name to the people, and since then the emperor has only avoided double secrets, Yongzheng's red pen in the Forbidden City in the north is swinging rapidly, like a knife that has slashed human flesh and blood.

"Zha Siting, Ling Chi!"

"Cha Shenxing, Cha Sisu, plus all the males over the age of sixteen in the Cha family, will be executed together!"

"Wife and daughter and young son under the age of sixteen are assigned to Ningguta, and they are slaves to the meritorious ministers of the frontier!"

After writing the edict, Yongzheng glanced at the book of "Cone Stop Record" out of the corner of his eye, and snorted coldly.

He secretly said hatefully: "If you dare to cut off my head in words, I will cut off the head of your whole family!" ”
