Chapter 195: The Great Ming Dictionary
"You don't know, this is actually a collision between the new school and the old school, obviously, the old school lost badly, which also shows that the old school is seriously backward, and sooner or later it will be eliminated and replaced by the new school."
"Don't understand? The reason is very simple, just like a long time ago, you used a hoe to plow, then you used a wooden plow, and now you use an iron plough, you see? ”
The common people are honest and simple, and they don't know a single big word, but some of the truths are still understood, although the various examples given by these professional trustees scattered among the people are a bit confusing, but it seems to be the case.
"I also heard that the Holy Lord is preparing a large number of printed books, the price is very cheap, you can buy it for a few copper coins, the content is easy to understand, anyone can learn, as long as you know a few words, you can read the dictionary if you can't understand the words, according to the radicals on the side, we can also write our own names in the future......"
"Brother, I heard the news is heavy, I heard that the scientific examination will be reformed in the future, and it is no longer only scholars who can participate in the scientific examination to become officials, we ordinary people can also take the exam, as long as you have the ability, you can still be an official, ha, today's saint is wise."
"This brother, don't fool around, okay, how can you be an official if you can't read? When are we stupid? ”
"To say that you are stupid is stupid, there were a lot of lively things that happened the year before last, haven't you heard? Those blacksmiths and craftsmen or something, aren't they also bean-sized and don't know a single word, so they don't become officials anymore? ”
"That's right, my neighbor's Uncle Zhang, who has been fighting iron all his life, is now the official of what kind of courtyard, Fenglu who gets thirty taels of silver a month, and rewards silver, grain and meat or something, dressed decently, and there are guards to follow him when he goes home, and he is very majestic."
"Yes, yes, remember Jiang Langzhong? Now he is also a medical officer, wearing an official uniform, and there are guards with him, tsk......tt"
Whether it is a modern person or an ancient, they all have the same gossip heart, in the professional trust intentionally or unintentionally spread, this new learning and old learning test spread throughout the Beijing overnight, and like the wind to the whole territory of the Ming Empire, together with the spread of a variety of true and false gossip, anyway, whether it is true or false, these gossips have become a topic of discussion after dinner.
People reacted differently to this kind of gossip flying all over the sky, and the people's reactions were very flat, and for them they were just a luxury that they didn't even dare to think about, and they were already content to have land to plant, food to eat, and clothes to wear.
And for some ambitious families or businessmen, it is a kind of great hope that makes their hearts flutter, although they are rich, but their social status is very low, and they are not even qualified to obtain fame in the examination, and the scholar class is an insurmountable gap, but now, this insurmountable gap may become a smooth road, how can they not be excited and look forward to it?
Regardless of whether these news are true or not, just wait patiently, there is no wind, no wind and no waves, and there is at least some hope in my heart.
The biggest reaction is naturally the whole world's scholars and civil official groups, they gather in groups of three or five, discuss, comment and shout about the so-called new learning, and at the same time verbally criticize and criticize, spraying Yin Tan Xiangyang of Ying Tianfu Mansion to the fullest, you Ying Tianfu Yin is amazing, dare to say that it represents the whole world of readers? I'm ashamed, shameless, lose the face of our scholars, this kind of is also worthy of being an official?
Tan Xiangyang is a member of the Donglin Party, and all the people who sprayed him are Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan literati, and Yin Ke of Shuntianfu is a big man with real power, so it is perfect to take him down and replace him with his own people to sit on it, it's a big deal to be a member of the Emperor Party, we can't eat meat and can't let you eat it, disgusting you.
Although the members of the Donglin Party are dissatisfied with Tan Xiangyang's nonsense, they are their own people after all, and they are also cadres with real power, of course, they must ensure that there will be a war of words.
There are also many unconvinced scholars and civil servants who roll up their sleeves and shout that they want to compete with the Boy Scouts, and instead of abusing the big Boy Scouts and crying, write their names upside down.
There are also a very small number of scholars and civil officials silently flipping through the books, looking for records and algorithms about Arabic numerals, and even thousands of miles away, they come to Beijing to inquire about the location of the boys' camp, and then wait outside the camp, they are very eager to know the specific calculation method of Arabic numerals.
For these people who are open-minded and self-motivated, and easy to accept new knowledge and new ideas, Zhu Jian is very generous, not only letting Yan Tienan and others give away teaching materials such as multiplication formulas and tables for free, but also noting their names and addresses, focusing on these people, who may be the future talents after the great innovation.
In order to protect Yin Tan Xiangyang of Tianfu, the Donglin Party fought with Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction, and did not have much energy to find trouble with Zhu Jian, but in the court, the Donglin Party joined forces with the Jiangnan faction to oppose innovation, and there were many reasons.
The ancestral system is bullshit to Zhu Jian, he doesn't care at all, while playing with the two major civil and official factions, he quietly implements the agreed plan, what annoys him is that Ruan Dacheng, a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, actually joined forces with the Donglin Party to dismantle his platform again, but now is not the time to deal with Ruan Dacheng, he still needs Ruan Dacheng and his Jiangnan faction to fight against the Donglin Party, even if he is very unhappy, he can only endure it for the time being.
The only proposal that was unanimously approved was the compilation of the "Daming Dictionary", Zhu Jian's "Daming Dictionary" was actually plagiarized from the "Xinhua Dictionary" of later generations, but only half of it was copied, only the radicals were crossed, and the Chinese pinyin was not made for the time being.
This proposal, so that all civil officials have a sense of amazement, once the "Ming Dictionary" is sorted out, published and distributed, it is a great benefit for the world's readers, "Three Character Classic" or something is really outdated, must be done, and must be done as soon as possible, civil officials also rarely give Zhu Jian a sentence of praise "Emperor Shengming".
Even if the "Daming Dictionary" cannot be passed down for generations, it will be accepted by the world, and it will be passed down from generation to generation like the "Three Character Classic" until it is replaced by a better dictionary. In order to compete for this quota for revision, the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan faction tore and spat at each other on the Jinluan Palace, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a result for a year and a half.
The solemn Jinluan Hall has become a vegetable market again, but Zhu Jian did not make a fortune this time, but sat on the dragon chair to watch the excitement, not in a hurry at all, he already had a candidate in his heart, and there were a few vacant places, which was regarded as a concession to the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan faction. Of course, this benefit is not in vain, there is no free lunch in the world, I didn't give my brother any benefits, and I want to go down in history? There are no doors!
