Chapter 311 Money, Money

"Did you hear me wrong? This is Xin Zhuangyuan's silent writing of other people's articles. Elder Niu Ge gave the young emperor a roll of his eyes and said to the young emperor above, "Your Majesty, this rhyme is excellent as a Mongolian school. I ask Your Majesty to grant permission to publish it all over the world. ”

"Your Majesty, please allow your majesty to compile a dictionary with the new jinshi and the jinshi." Cai Ge Lao was also busy stepping forward, and he couldn't help but glance at Niu Ge Lao, these two were proposed by himself, Niu Ge Lao was a little suspicious of stealing credit.

"What do you think?" The young emperor did not oppose it because this was Xin Kun's suggestion, he agreed, and it was all his own political achievements.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Everyone also thinks it doesn't matter.

"Then the two elders will be in charge!" The young emperor nodded, whoever proposes, who will be responsible. Of course, with the appearance of the two elders, he was in a better mood.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to retreat!" The eunuch saw that no one spoke, indicating that the court meeting was completed.

Everyone bowed together and waited for the young emperor to leave first.

However, the elders of the cabinet could not leave, they had to go to the study to discuss matters. The others didn't leave, and looked at Cai Ge Lao together, "Isn't it a delay to let the new Jinshi and fellow Jinshi not learn government affairs, but to compile this "Dictionary"?" ”

"Do you think those people are not delaying their efforts now?" Elder Niu Ge hehehe, looked at Scholar Ji, "Elder Ji, what do you say?" Is compiling a "dictionary" a great merit for students all over the world? ”

Scholar Ji also knew that these three hundred people were really useless, and they couldn't learn a lot of things. But if you really pull it all out to make a dictionary, you will definitely not be able to learn government affairs.

"Can you not use so many people, it's only a thousand words, and I heard that Xin Zhuangyuan has already done a good job of cataloging." Master Ji asked lightly.

Xin Kun means that this thousand words is the first paragraph, which is used to popularize the literacy of the common people; And the second paragraph may be to make a medium-sized dictionary that can contain three to five thousand words, which can be used by most readers. Eventually, people who want to do it will come together to make a complete "dictionary", Xin Kun said that there are more than 95,000 Chinese characters, and they are not necessarily complete. And in "Shuowen Jie Zi", there are also more than 9,000 words......"

"You also said that there are more than 9,000 words in "Shuowen Jie Zi", why do you still need to make a dictionary?" An old man was indignant.

"It's better to try it, Xin Kun wants to make it easier for ordinary people to learn calligraphy." Prince Ren didn't want to talk nonsense with these people, but he had just listened to it, and he understood the meaning, and what he didn't understand was that there was anything to discuss.

"Why? This is a waste of national money! The one screamed, and his hands were outstretched and roaring, as if the money was his.

"It seems that there is a special fund to support literacy every year, right?" Prince Ren smiled, these items of the imperial court were not difficult for him.

"Can this dictionary be literate? Can you read with a dictionary? The man said fiercely.

"The Dictionary is easier to literacy than the Shuowen Jie Zi, right?" An official from the Ministry of Rites smirked.

"Can you come up with this money? If all the 300 new jinshi are pulled to do this, then what can they learn? What will happen to these people in the future? ”

"That's good, let them go to the Hanlin Academy to study in the morning, and compile the dictionary in the afternoon. When the first book is finished, the second book can be freely participated. The old man also felt that compiling a dictionary was still beneficial to these students. Scholar Ji waved his hand, he felt that these quarrels were meaningless.

"What about the money? The old man's ......"

"Okay, these two things are ordered by the emperor." The one who had a good relationship with the old man pulled him away.

Although the one didn't finish speaking, everyone finally remembered now that this person had written a book of Meng, but he didn't come to the emperor at all. But he was rejected in the Hanlin Academy, and people were embarrassed to say that he didn't write well, and they only said that they had no money.

"This has nothing to do with the emperor's approval, now Xin Kun's "Thousand Character Text", I don't argue, I know that my book is not as good as this. But why is the Dictionary? Why? Those who know how to read and write cannot use a dictionary, and those who do not know how to read still cannot use it. Why do you take up so many resources? Do you want to do it in stages? Why? The old man saw everyone's eyes and glared at everyone.

"Prince Ren, three elders, the emperor invites four to go to the study." The little eunuch came to invite them, and it was not clear to talk about it anyway. These people can say to the old man, don't argue, there is no dictionary, and they will not publish his books.

The three pavilion elders and Prince Ren entered the study together, the young emperor had not come out yet, but Gonggong Shen was there, and personally brought tea to everyone, and the four of them stood up together, and no one dared to accept the old man's tea.

"What are you doing standing, sit down." The young emperor changed his clothes and came out, sat down in his place, took a sip of tea, and motioned for everyone to sit.

The four of them saluted the young emperor before sitting in their seats.

"After the peach blossom flood in March, we have to think about the flood in the Yangtze River basin in May." The young emperor said that he thought it was important. How did he know that there was going to be a lot of noise about two books outside, and in his heart, there were only two books, and the flood would wash away the farmland and sweep away the population.

"The Ministry of Industry dialed ...... last year" Cai Ge Lao put aside the unhappiness just now, and held his mind, he was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, and it was up to him to say. The old man has been in charge of these things for decades, and he is used to these things, and he explains them in great detail.

"It's like this every year, and every year the embankment is destroyed and people die." The young emperor was very helpless, because these were all money, but the money was spent, but he did not see the slightest effect, and since he came to power, he has not seen any money in the treasury. This excerpt shows that the autumn harvest has not come up yet, and he really has no money!

"Your Majesty......" Prince Ren hurriedly stood up, "The Yellow River and the Yangtze River flood every year, and after the founding of our dynasty, there has been a significant improvement. ”

The young emperor was speechless again, he felt that Prince Ren was smearing himself at this time, did he say that he would not give money?

"Uncle Wang's words are also bad, I didn't say that I don't support it anymore, I am willing to increase investment, but the six parts need money, today's "Thousand Character Text" is published all over the world, the compilation of the "Dictionary", don't you want money, Niu Ge Lao, you say, the household department can have extra money? The two rivers and the Yellow River flood from July to September, there may be drought and snow disasters in the north in November, and the peach blossom flood in March. And the annual tax is fixed, oh, last year there was a big drought in the north, Gyeonggi was exempt from tax, and this year Liangjiang applied for tax exemption. Who gives me the money? ”

"Your Majesty, although the dictionary has not been compiled, Xin Zhuangyuan has proposed that he will book 100 sets of "Dictionary" to donate to the county schools in Gyeonggi County, and he will pay the money first, so that the project can be started. Lao Chen felt that this was a good way to accept reservations, so that the compilation would be self-sufficient. Cai Ge said hurriedly.
