Chapter 519: The Pains of New Text Reform
It will take at least a few years for the promotion of the reform of the new literature to be truly implemented in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there must be some pedantic readers who are unwilling to accept it.
There will even be a large number of scholars who are reluctant to participate in the imperial examination for this reason.
Zhu Jianji had already expected it.
But it doesn't matter.
Daming has talents, but there are only a few pedantic scholars with outdated concepts.
It's just that there is one problem he must solve: chaos!
Last year, more than 2,000 people who took the imperial examination, many of whom participated in the compilation of these two new textbooks as protΓ©gΓ©s of Chen Xianzhang at Peking University, and these people basically learned the three departments, and then made good use of the Xinhua Dictionary, and basically mastered the new text.
So here's the problem.
They have been reading hard for more than ten years, and what they are familiar with in their minds is the old writing system.
Now that they have a new text, they start to mess up......
The key is that there are now dozens of people in this group who are directly out of office.
There are also a large number of outstanding people who go to the major projects under the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, factories, Daming Royal Bank, Daming Bank and Daming Royal Power Company, as well as hospitals in various state capitals.
Because he has mastered the new text, he has engraved the old text in his bones.
Therefore, when writing, I will always unconsciously mix the old and the new.
As a result, some elderly people cannot understand their writing.
So there was confusion.
For a time, all departments of the court played one after another, asking Emperor Guang'an to solve the matter.
So early in the morning, Zhu Jianji got up from Han Caiying's belly, washed up and ate some breakfast, and went to the Qianqing Palace to participate in the small court meeting, to improve and solve the problem of mixing new and old literature in government institutions, factory systems, and R&D departments.
Jiuqing, the governor, the squire, the cabinet chief assistant and the imperial historians were all very excited when they saw Emperor Guang'an coming to participate in the small court meeting.
Since Emperor Guang'an ascended the throne, he has participated in almost a handful of large and small court meetings.
Fortunately, the emperor did his best.
The ministers had to admit that although Emperor Guang'an was lazy, the division of labor between the two fathers and sons was perfect, the emperor was good at governing the people's livelihood, and Emperor Guang'an was good at promoting reforms.
No one affects anyone.
Zhu Qiyu still respects his rabbit cub very much, and when he saw Zhu Jianji arrive, he immediately "sensibly" went to sit down.
Zhu Jianji went straight to the point and talked about the problems of the old and new texts.
The ministers looked at each other.
There's no way to solve this problem.
Now there are many old ministers in various departments of the court, and it is not appropriate for you to let these old ministers learn the new literary system at this age, right?
For example, Yu Qian.
People in their seventies still have the energy to re-learn a writing system.
The first assistant of the cabinet had an idea, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has read the "Three Series Book" and "Xinhua Dictionary" several times, from the standpoint of the reader, if the "Three Series Book" and "Xinhua Dictionary" really replace the previous writing system, it will be a great thing for future readers, at least in the literacy area, it is much easier to understand, and it is also more conducive to writing, as long as the new text reform can finally succeed, then I will have more readers, And the current labor pain is unavoidable, but Wechen has a strategy to solve this problem. β
Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up, "Let's talk about it." β
Shang said: "Now I am busy with government affairs in the Ming Dynasty, it is unrealistic to let the old ministers of various departments of the court to re-learn the new text system, on the one hand, there is no energy, on the other hand, there is no time, but with the advancement of the new text reform, there will be more and more young readers entering the court, and this group of readers will focus on the new text system, so it is a matter of time before the new text replaces the old text, we only need to get through this painful period, until the new text is really popular, so during this period, we need to take care of the old ministers, how to take care of it?" That is, if it is a young official who has mastered the new text, if the head of the department to which the text is written is an old minister, then two sets must be written, one is a new text, and the other is an old text, and if the head of the department to which the text is written is a young official, only the new text can be written. β
This is the best expedient measure.
Zhu Jianji thought for a while, "In other words, young officials also need to master the two systems of new and old texts?" β
Shang Shi said with a smile: "It is necessary in the early stage, but after the change of officials in the DPRK and China, especially in more than ten years, it will not be needed, and at that time, the old text can be completely eliminated." β
γ
Zhu Jianji thought about it.
The elimination of traditional Chinese characters, even in the twentieth century, came slowly.
And in the 21st century, there are also many students who can understand traditional Chinese characters.
It is a kind of traditional culture.
There is no need to eliminate them all.
Sometimes, for example, in the world of calligraphy, traditional Chinese characters are actually very beautiful, and they can still be kept.
So he looked at the ministers, "What do you think?" β
The ministers saluted, and the ministers seconded it. β
Zhu Jianji said to Dai Yi: "Draft the decree and pass on the decree to all departments." β
It's okay.
Zhu Jianji was ready to get up and leave, and the rest of the time was the stage for the cheap dad to deal with people's livelihood and political affairs, and Zhu Jianji planned to inspect the Guanting Reservoir, which would take a day or two.
Jin Yiwei has already gone to pave the road in advance to ensure his travel safety.
Yu Qian came out and said, "Your Majesty, slow down." β
Zhu Jianji's heart tightened.
Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, shouted to himself, it must be a military matter, is there a problem on the Mobei side, or is the war on the Indochina Peninsula collapsing?
Sit down again," Yu Shaobao said. β
Yu Qian said: "The cabinet has received a letter from Zhang Peng, the political envoy of Jiaozhi Chengxuan, and the Ministry of War has also received a letter from the Jiaozhi Metropolitan Division, the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, and the Taiwan South China Sea Fleet. β
Zhu Jianji saw that Yu Qian's expression was neither happy nor sad.
I feel a little relieved.
Shouldn't be bad news.
After thinking about it, if it was bad news, Yu Shaobao would have gone to Wenhua Hall a long time ago, so why should he come to the small court meeting first, and then find time to go to Wenhua Palace.
So he smiled and said: "What's the matter, the Guangxi Metropolitan Division and the Jiaozhi Metropolitan Division found the fighter plane and took the initiative to attack?" Han Ping has this courage, I believe it, but Liu Jing, who has lost face in Jingtai for eighteen years, dares to take the initiative to attack, I don't believe it! β
Liu Jing is now basically in a state of seeking no fault and not merit.
This man is a waste.
Yu Qian said: "Zhang Peng, Peng Shi, Han Pingping, Liu Jing and others discussed, and decided to take advantage of the confrontation between the coalition forces of the Indochina Peninsula in Nanzhang and the Yunnan army, with the Guangxi Metropolitan Division as the main force, the South China Sea Fleet from the sea to cooperate, and the wolf soldiers under the command of Guangxi Tusi Cen Qing as the vanguard, sent troops from Shenghua Mansion to attack and occupy the city, and attacked the royal capital of Zhancheng with lightning momentum, this matter has been implemented, at this moment, I am afraid that the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, the South China Sea Fleet, and the Guangxi wolf soldiers have already advanced in the territory of Zhancheng!" β
Here's a prelude.
Yu Qian knew that this operation was no problem, because Zhu Jianji's holy decree meant this: if there is a fighter, you can take the initiative to attack.
