Brother Jiu smiled angrily, the matter has not yet been decided, but the person who picks peaches is coming quickly. Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise he was afraid that the third brother would really rob him of this beauty.

He turned sideways and asked with a smile: "I don't know how the third brother plans to start compiling the "Kangxi Dictionary"?" ”

The third elder brother said confidently: "Naturally, it is to take the essence of the two books of "Vocabulary" and "Zhengzitong", remove its dross, search by radicals and strokes, and use standard cut sounds such as "Tang Rhyme", "Guang Rhyme", "Ji Rhyme", "Ancient and Modern Rhyme", "Hongwu Zhengyun", etc., supplemented by ancient and modern translations of each word. ”

Kangxi bowed his head slightly, his third son is still quite accomplished in culture, and over time, he will definitely be able to occupy a place among literati and scholars. However, he is still too young to let him participate, not let him be in charge.

Brother Jiu didn't know that Kangxi had already made a decision in his heart, but even if he knew, he didn't worry, he had been preparing for this day for a long time, and he would never let people pick the peaches!

Brother Jiu smiled slightly: "If the third brother thinks of the revision, the Kangxi Dictionary can become a collection of ancient and modern dictionaries, but it is impossible to reach an unprecedented height. ”

The third elder brother raised his eyebrows: "What, listening to the meaning of the ninth brother, you have a way to make the "Kangxi Dictionary" reach an unprecedented height?" ”

As the third elder brother spoke, his mind turned rapidly, but he couldn't imagine that there was any way to make the "Kangxi Dictionary" reach such a height.

Brother Jiu's face was slightly complacent, he took out a letter from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said loudly: "Khan Ama, Erchen thinks that the ancient dictionaries are all searched by radicals and cut words by words, and there is a problem in it, if someone doesn't even know the basic words, how can they know the new words?" ”

"The sons have studied the Chinese languages of Europa, and they can use phonetic transcription to phonetic, so why can't we?" For example, in England, there are only 24 letters, and with only 48 phonetic transcriptions, all the words can be recognized. Why can't we learn from it? ”

In addition, Erchen's view of the ancient and modern articles has caused a lot of controversy and ambiguity because of the different sentences. However, the countries of Europa use sentence reading to separate the meaning of sentences, which makes it clear at a glance. ”

After months of contemplation and bitter laughter, Erchen summed up dozens of phonetic transcription and phonics methods, and sentence reading symbol rules. Erchen believes that phonetic transcription and sentence reading can be reflected in the "Kangxi Dictionary", creating an unprecedented system! ”

Brother Jiu told him the examples that Fusuni gave him that day, and listed some other classic sentences, and made various sentences, which opened everyone's eyes.

Kangxi opened the fold presented by Brother Jiu, and quickly read it, and he also studied the Western Chinese languages, so he naturally saw at a glance the value of phonetic transcription and sentence reading.

He looked at Brother Jiu deeply, never thinking that this son would bring such a big surprise for him.

"Yes, yes. Yinyu, since you already have so many ideas about the compilation of the "Kangxi Dictionary", then you are responsible for supervising it. Chen Tingjing, Zhang Yushu, the two of you are the chief writers, assisting Brother Jiu to complete the compilation of the "Kangxi Dictionary", and the two of you will select 30 editors to be specifically responsible for the revision. I have given you ten years, will you be able to complete it successfully? ”

Brother Jiu, Chen Tingjing, and Zhang Yushu, the three of them came out of the ranks, and they received the order: "The decree of the son-in-law/micro-minister will be successfully completed on schedule." ”

At this moment, the ninth elder brother became the focus of everyone's attention, and the third elder brother's eyes were full of unwillingness.
