The compilation of the "Three Series Books" has been carried out for a long time, and now it has been completed, but Zhu Jianji knows that the "Three Series Books" is only a small goal, and the real big one is the new rhyme book "Xinhua Dictionary".

"Xinhua Dictionary" is not only a rhyme book, but also a large dictionary simplified in traditional Chinese.

Broaden all Chinese characters.

It also involves the difference between Daming official dialect and Mandarin, which is a big project, and it is really gratifying that "Xinhua Dictionary" is made.

Before his thoughts fell, Chen Xianzhang took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, according to your will, as well as a lot of guidance on weekdays, we gathered hundreds of scholars and talents, and it took three years to finally compile the new rhyme book. ”

Zhu Jianji was a little surprised, "It's made up in three years?" ”

I thought it would take longer.

After all, the establishment of the Xinhua dictionary was the nineteenth year of Jingtai, and now it is the second year of Guang'an, and it is only three years, and there are only a few hundred readers under Chen Xianzhang to participate in it, unlike the Yongle Dictionary that year, which had thousands of people.

Well, the amount of engineering is not at all comparable.

Chen Xianzhang said: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the book currently compiled is just a book that has just become a rhyme, in the eyes of Weichen and others, it seems that everything is perfect, but Your Majesty is a pedantic celestial, and there will definitely be supplementary words, so Weichen implores Your Majesty to be upright!" ”

After Chen Xianzhang finished speaking, Hu Juren presented two volumes of "cursive script" that were thicker than turning his head, which were new rhyme books written by Ren Teng, and the two books together must be 20 centimeters thick.

Hu Juren said: "Because it is too thick, considering the convenience of engraving, printing and use, the new rhyme book is divided into two volumes, with a total collection of 46,983 characters. ”

Zhu Jianji smiled, not bad.

The Kangxi dictionary is more than 47,000 words.

Then, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a dictionary with more than 46,900 words should be included.

The number of words included is not a problem.

It also depends on whether the simplification of these characters in the dictionary is the same as that of later generations, and whether the new rhyme method "Hanyu Pinyin" is perfectly matched with simplified characters.

This review is only done by yourself!

It's huge.

Fortunately, the meaning of these words, the source does not need to be done by yourself, Chen Xianzhang and these readers can solve it perfectly, in other words, in the next period of time, I have to go through this dictionary.

Took it from Hu Juren.

At a glance, the cover reads the four words "Xinhua Dictionary", which should be written by Chen Xianzhang.

Slightly bowed, okay, sensible, I know that I once said the name of this new rhyme book.

Flip it over slowly.

The first part is suddenly a "new rhyme".

Carefully flipped through it, it was basically compiled according to what he said, Zhu Jianji flipped it a little, and there were still some flaws, especially in terms of sound marking, front and back nasal sounds, which still needed to be improved.

Flipping back, it is the "check order table" made according to the new rhyme method.

Not bad.

However, there are also flaws, the search table does not follow the radical search order module, which needs to be added.

Dozens of pages were flipped back.

And I knew it.

Put down the rhyme book, and said to Chen Xianzhang and the others: "I will try my best to go through this new rhyme book in the shortest possible time, point out the wrong places, and then you will revise the wrong places according to my annotations, and then submit it to the Wenhua Hall for my approval. ”

The simplification of some characters is still incorrect.

You have to revise them one by one.

The amount of work is also not large.

According to the proportion of these dozens of pages, there are more than 46,900 words, and the words that need to be revised by yourself may be about 8,000, and although some words are different from later generations, they are actually not much different.

The point is that these simplified characters are in their own minds, and they are quickly modified.

Chen Xianzhang and others led the order.

Zhu Jianji said: "This year's autumn festival will continue to expand the scale of the scholars, this matter has been discussed by the ministers in the court, and the coffin has been decided, so the Guozijian side must be prepared." ”

】

Chen Xianzhang hesitated, "Your Majesty, there are not many people in Taixue, and there are not many people in the Hanlin Academy. ”

It was full last year.

Zhu Jianji said: "What about Peking University? ”

Chen Xianzhang shook his head, "I can't pretend much, after going to the taxi last year, among the more than 2,000 scholars, some of the big talents went directly to the office, some of the high talents went to the Hanlin Academy, and some went to the Guozijian, and the rest were all in Peking University, and after a year of study, only some of the people in Peking University were recruited by various ministries this year. ”

Zhu Jianji didn't think about it, "It's okay, I will let the household department allocate funds, and Peking University will continue to expand its scale, according to my expectations, Peking University will be equipped with at least 5,000 jinshi, and the scale of scholars will continue to expand in the future, and only one Peking University will not be able to cultivate enough talents for Daming, so another university will be established this year." ”

After thinking about it, "Hu Juren, you will be the president of the newly established university, and I have thought of the name, Tsinghua University." ”

Peking University, Tsinghua University.

This is Zhu Jianji's bad taste.

Of course, it is also his ambition to build two world-class universities for Daming, and in the 21st century, Peking University and Tsinghua University will be a university with hundreds of years of history!

It will be the largest university in the world.

Hu Juren led the order.

Zhu Jianji continued: "With such a large range of scholars, the status of the imperial examination will continue to decline, and finally the palace examination may be canceled, and the examination will be a major move in the country, and the people who are in the middle of the big move, only the top people will go directly to the office, and the rest of the people will enter the university to continue their studies, so it is far from enough to be a Peking University and Tsinghua University - coincidentally, the Guozi Supervisor Liquor has returned to his hometown when he is young, so Chen Xianzhang will serve as the Guozi Supervisor Wine, Hu Juren will serve as the Guozi Supervisor Priest, and the Guozijian side will be ready to reorganize in the near future, As for the specific operation, Rong Zhen thought about it for a moment or two, but you have a number in your heart, after the successful reorganization of Guozijian, it is to reform and upgrade the official schools across the country, in short, I want to establish a large number of universities in the local area, which will be used to train more Jinshi and train them into talents from various industries that the Ming Dynasty needs, rather than just reading and writing articles. ”

Chen Xianzhang and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this.

This handiwork-

It's too big!

If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty established the imperial examination system with great strokes, then His Majesty's strokes were as big as that.

Because it's basically the opposite.

Well......

Not right either.

It's not exactly the other way around, either.

His Majesty's move is to turn the imperial examination into a nationwide and comprehensive talent selection, not just for the selection of officials, and it involves a wider scope.
