Zeng Yuan smiled bitterly: "The student was persuaded by you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if the human race does not implement vulgar characters, it can progress, but if vulgar characters are used, progress will be faster, so it is better to choose to implement vulgar characters. In the future, I will never advise you to use less vulgar characters in Minbao, but I will advise you to use more, because it will allow more people to read Minbao. At the same time, the student admits a mistake to you. ”

"Oh?" Fang Yun looked at Zeng Yuan.

Zeng Yuan's face was slightly red, he coughed lightly, and said: "The students didn't realize it at first, but after listening to your words, they realized that the students' support for complicated orthographic characters is actually using orthographic characters as a roadblock to obstruct others. Text is a tool, and the information carried by words can constantly improve itself. The more complex the tool, the more people will have a weaker mastery, and the fewer people will have a strong grasp. There are more difficult orthographic characters to learn, there are more troublesome orthographic articles to read, and the gap between those people and me will become wider and wider, and only those very few geniuses can be equal to or even surpass my grades in the imperial examination when they are far inferior to me in terms of body, time, family background, etc. Orthography may not be able to stop those geniuses, but it can make most ordinary people more mediocre. Actually, I didn't mean to obstruct others, but I just ...... I do it instinctively. ”

Fang Yun said: "That's why Confucius once said, self-denial and revenge." A saint must restrain himself and follow the rites in order to attain the state of benevolence. You and I are not saints, naturally we can't do self-denial, you and my instinct, naturally is to reduce competitors, make our desires easier to satisfy, this is nature, unless we become saints, otherwise who dares to say that our instincts are bad, who dares to say that we are evil, who dares to say that our human nature is ugly, then that person must be a great traitor. ”

Zeng Yuan nodded again and again at first, and when he heard the last cough, he said, "Fortunately, Xunzi is a sub-sage." ”

Fang Yunwan smiled, although Xunzi upheld the theory of sexual evil, although there are many explanations, it does not essentially treat human instinct as neutral.

Fang Yun continued: "Before the First Great War of the Two Realms Mountain, that is, sixty years ago, there was a piece of news in Wenbao that shocked the whole human race, a private school teacher used a stick to teach students, and finally killed one student and disabled three. Afterwards, various countries reflected, so many places carried out relaxed education, reducing the school time of Mongolian children, reducing the number of scriptures and meanings in textbooks, learning more poetry, more riding and archery, and more learning keju. But after the first Great War of the Two Realms Mountain, the saints suddenly came forward to stop this kind of loose education, do you know why?"

Zeng Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then showed a look of shame and said: "Back then, the students couldn't figure out why the local government implemented lenient education for the common people, but our wealthy family still forced the children to study wildly. After listening to your words, I finally understand that it is good to say, this is the method of the weak branches and strong cadres of the saint family, and the ugly thing is that the people in high positions obviously benefit from a good educational environment, but in order to let their descendants continue to be in high positions, in order to avoid their descendants being replaced by low-level people, they use the most vicious means to cut off the way for the low-level human race to be promoted. And the best way for the low-level human race to rise is to study, study hard, and do everything to study!"

Fang Yun smiled and said, "There is nothing new under the sun. Speaking of this kind of deception, you have done many similar things back then. ”

Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then showed shame again, and said, "Indeed." Whenever we want to buy some government workshops that have the potential to make money, we will spread a lot of news that seems to be true or even false before the acquisition, so that all the people think that there is a big problem with those government workshops, and all the people who remain in their hands will be affected, and only by selling them will the people be better. Three years ago, when we bought the Yuzhou government-run Freight Passenger Chamber of Commerce, we spread the news everywhere that the principals of those chambers of commerce were greedy and how expensive they were to transport goods and passengers. If the people find out about our intentions and oppose someone buying the government and chamber of commerce, we will stop and wait for the next opportunity; if the people do not find out and succeed in forming a public resentment that the government should sell the chamber of commerce, we will take over immediately, and then find an opportunity to raise the price, what can those people do to us except complain? However, since I have followed you, I will not do this kind of thing again. ”

"No, we will definitely do this kind of thing, maybe not for the sake of embezzling the workshop, not for making money, but for our own benefit, we will definitely do similar things. Fang Yundao.

Zeng Yuan was speechless.

Fang Yundao: "Don't talk about anything else, continue to "Minbao". What you said at the beginning is important, so the newspaper needs to make targeted changes. Starting from the next "Minbao", the content related to people's livelihood, society and current affairs will be written in an easy-to-understand vernacular, and a large number of vulgar characters will be used, so that ordinary people can not only understand, but also make them enjoy reading and do not set up any obstacles for them. As for the imperial examination and culture, they still strictly maintain the use of orthographic characters, and do not allow vulgar characters, reflecting seriousness and authority. ”

Zeng Yuan immediately said: "Then the student will implement vulgar characters in the Fang Clan's Library and Academy to a limited extent, of course, at present, it will not involve Mengtong, only for those who are over sixteen years old or have a literary degree. Let more people communicate with vulgar characters, such as some official documents and documents can use vulgar characters, which can not only increase efficiency, but also pave the way for you in the future. ”

Fang Yun smiled slightly, and said: "No wonder you will become the first person in the Zeng family to do business, no wonder you are over thirty years old but you are compared to Ge million, indeed, I will gradually implement vulgar characters in Xiangzhou, until the whole human race uses the vulgar characters I formulated, so that my vulgar characters become regular characters!"

Zeng Yuan's face flashed with shock and reverence, he only vaguely knew that Fang Yun was going to promote vulgar characters, but now he realized that Fang Yun's plan was far bigger than he had imagined before, like walking the road of half-saint Lis.

The main reason why Li Si was able to be canonized, the profundity of the Legalist holy way is only one aspect, the main reason is that he implemented the great innovation in the Qin Dynasty, everyone praised Qin Shi Huang's merits, in fact, Li Si's merits in "books with the same text, cars with the same track, money with the same currency, weights and measures" and other aspects are not inferior to Qin Shi Huang, because many innovations are the first of his books and hands-on, which is the foundation of Li Si's canonization.

So even Lü Buwei has to admit that when it comes to governing the country, Li Si is above him.

Zeng Yuan stood up and said: "Mr.'s talent is unmatched. If you can become the sole founder of the next orthographic character of the human race, the foundation of your holy path will be incomparably stronger, far greater than that of ordinary half-saints. From today onwards, students will follow Mr. to the death, overcome all obstacles, and clear all obstacles for your canonization!"

"Good!" Fang Yun nodded slightly.

"The student has a suggestion, you simply set up a special page in the "Minbao" to compare the vulgar characters with the regular characters for the content in the "Minbao" that day, which is almost taught. ”

"Great goodness!" Fang Yun said with a smile.
