Chapter 118: Brother Huang, Times Have Changed (1/4)

On the first page of the "Simplified Chinese Great Seal Comparison Table", the title is written with the word stroke, and the content is one, 丿, 丨, , ......

On the second page of the "Simplified Chinese Seal Comparison Table", the title reads radicals, and the content is 钅, 犭, 宀,......

The third page of the "Simplified Chinese Seal Comparison Table" is the comparison between the simplified Chinese characters and the large seal, and a simplified Chinese character can often be compared with three or four large seals.

The First Emperor looked at it very seriously.

About a tea hour, the First Emperor closed the book.

The First Emperor pondered for a while, and said, "Cheng Chan, is this the writing you invented?"

"I'm just a porter, it's the words of my dreams."

"Say whatever you want." The First Emperor patted the book in his hand, looked at Ying Chengcheng with a shocking look, and said, "To create a kind of writing by oneself is still out of the current writing system."

"Now it seems that at the beginning, Li Sizan said, 'I have never seen anyone like you, I have not known that there is a person like you in history, and I have not heard rumors that there are people like you'. Instead of exaggerating, they underestimate you. If this word is issued in the world, you are a saint who surpasses the sages of the past dynasties and is comparable to the ancestors of Cangjie. ”

Ying Chengcheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Huang, you don't have to praise me, just say 'but'."

"Haha, you shaft." The First Emperor shook his head and smiled.

"But you're ignoring a very important issue. The unification of the script must be done, and it must be done as soon as possible. Who's going to do that? You and Ihu? No, it's for those who are literate to do it. ”

"Your simplified characters go from strokes to radicals, and then from radicals to simplified characters. This simplified Chinese character, which advances from shallow to deep, is more concise than the Seven Kingdoms script. It is much easier for people who do not know the written language to learn than it is to learn the seven languages. ”

"But who is going to teach these people who don't know how to write?"

The First Emperor paused, seeing that Ying Chengcheng's face had not changed, and he did not mean to interject.

He frowned, and asked himself, "It's the people I said earlier." I can cut off the heads of those scholars, but I can't force them to learn your simplified Chinese characters to pass on to the world. ”

"Cheng Chan, the world is too big. If your simplified Chinese characters want to become the unified script in the world, you must have a group of people who have thoroughly learned your simplified Chinese characters. ”

"And this group of people, it will take at least five years to cultivate. These five years are the five years when the world has just been unified, and it is too important for Daqin. I can't afford to wait, Daqin can't afford to wait. ”

"Brother Huang means to stop me from promoting simplified characters, just like stopping me from implementing movable type printing back then, just like paper?"

The First Emperor patiently explained: "Why did I stop you from letting you implement movable type printing and paper? It is because once you implement it, everyone in the world will be able to read and learn characters, and the people's wisdom will be greatly opened, and the people's wisdom will be strong. ”

"The Book of Shang Jun" has a saying: The people are strong and the country is weak, and the people are weak and the country is strong. When the people are strong, the country will be weak. Only when the people are weak will the country be strong. ”

"Powerful people are not easy to rule, and when they start thinking about the rights and wrongs of the edicts issued by the court, it means that their obedience to me will be greatly reduced."

"When such a Qin person goes to the battlefield, can he still be afraid of death? The Qin people are afraid of death, and how can Great Qin dominate the world. You've read more books than I do, and you should understand that. ”

Ying Cheng sat on the ground opposite Ying Zheng, a rare sitting.

"Tao Te Ching" has a saying: The good of the ancients is the ruler, not to understand the people, but to be foolish. The people are difficult to govern, and they are wise. Therefore, the country is governed by wisdom, and the thief of the country. If you don't govern the country with wisdom, the blessing of the country. Lao Tzu believed that the people who were good at governing the country in ancient times did not make the people wise, but made the people ignorant. The people are not easy to govern because they know more. Therefore, to open the wisdom of the people is a traitor of the state. It is the blessing of a great country not to let the people open their minds. ”

If Ying Fusu was here, he would definitely be surprised.

In his eyes, this uncle, who only knows sophistry, has such a side.

But the First Emperor did not show the slightest surprise, but was very accustomed to it.

He smiled and interjected.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you so serious, and it seems that you really care about this matter. Go on, I listen. ”

"Pipe" has a saying: Junming, believing, soothing, honest, farmery, and businessman's willingness. It is to say what the five types of people in a strong country should look like, the monarch is wise, the state is trustworthy, the officials are honest and solemn, the peasants are ignorant, and the merchants and craftsmen are willing to do things. ”

Here, too, Guan Zi believes that it is better for the country for the people to be ignorant. Zi said: The people can make it, but they can't know it. Confucius said: The people can command, but they cannot be allowed to know why they are doing what they do. ”

The First Emperor clasped his index finger upside down, knocked on the table, and interrupted Ying Chengcheng's words again.

"Cheng Chan, what you said today is a bit biased. All you have to do is convince me to follow your simplified Chinese characters, and you don't need to go into too much detail. I know all these things you say, and that's what I've always done - the poor make the country strong, and the weak people make the country strong. ”

"It's easy for me to persuade the imperial brother to implement simplified characters, isn't the imperial brother afraid that there is no first batch of people who can read simplified characters, and it will be difficult to spread simplified characters?"

"Not bad." The First Emperor let out a long sigh and said, "Your eyes have seen too far, and you have left this era. The simplified characters you designed are so simple that if you don't say it, I won't see it as a word. ”

This is indeed the best text for the people of the world to learn words, but it is destined to not be disseminated, and there are not many readers in the world who will spread it for you. I plan to use Li Si as the main body, supplemented by the doctor's office, and simplify the big seal into a small seal. Promote the world, since then, people all over the world need to write in small seals, and the book is the same as the text. ”

Half a step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is a madman.

And Ying Chengcheng is ahead of the Qin Dynasty, at least a hundred steps.

These 100 steps are 2,000 years.

"What if I tell the royal brother that I can see farther than the imperial brother imagined?" Ying Chengyun chuckled and said, "If I cultivate a group of people who can read simplified characters, can the imperial brother still let Li Sichuang have a small seal?"

Have you trained a group of people who can read simplified Chinese?

If this is the case, it will be much easier for the people to learn this script than it will be to learn the script in simplified Chinese characters.

It takes five years to understand this text, but it can be achieved in years, so that Daqin can be determined at least three years in advance.

The First Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief.

He squeezed Ying Chengcheng's hand hard, and said in a serious voice: "How many people have you taught?" If I don't want to make a small seal, just the number of your Chang'an Junfu is not enough! ”

"Didn't the imperial brother just ask me how Tunliu was defeated? I was indeed defeated in the hands of Guo Kai's 5,000 people, and I did not deceive the emperor's brother. But though I am defeated, not one of the fifty thousand will die. ”

Ying Cheng stretched out five fingers.

"50,000 Great Qin Ruishi who have eaten simplified Chinese characters thoroughly, can they take up the position of spreading simplified Chinese characters?"

At the time of the Qin Dynasty, the population of the world was between 25 million and 30 million.

The ratio of 50,000 to the total number of people in the world.

It is between 1:500 and 1:600.

In other words, it seems difficult to achieve universal literacy in simplified Chinese, and it seems difficult to teach 500 or 600 people by one person.

But in reality, this is not the case.

First of all, the First Emperor demanded the same text, not that everyone in the world should be 100% literate in simplified Chinese.

That would be equivalent to opening up the wisdom of the people and strengthening the people, which is inconsistent with the idea of weak people that the first emperor has always implemented.

The purpose of the first emperor's book was to make the people of the six countries no longer think about the six countries, and their hearts should work together to maintain the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

To achieve this, the proportion of people who can read simplified Chinese characters can be controlled within a certain range.

This range is that the number of literate people in the world can be increased by about three or five times - as long as the six languages are suppressed, it is a success.

And to do this, 50,000 people, enough.

"Enough! That's enough! That's enough! ”

The First Emperor's expression was extremely excited, and he said three times in a row that was enough.

Compared with those who read, the First Emperor trusted the Great Qin Ruishi more.

There are great Qin Ruishi to promote simplified Chinese characters for him and gather the hearts of the people, and he is at ease.

"It's good to lose, it's good to lose!"

The First Emperor walked around the book house excitedly.

"If you are undefeated, how can you hide 50,000 sharp soldiers under Lu Buwei's eyes! Cheng Chan, how did you manage to lose the battle without a single soldier dying? Wrong wrong! Qin law stipulates: the general is captured and killed, and the guards are all executed. How could you not have died a single soldier, you were deliberately captured by Guo Kai in the first place? ”

What sent Guo Kai to reach the peak of power, popular support, and royal family weight in Zhao was the battle of Tunliu in which 5,000 Zhao troops defeated 50,000 Qin army elites.

As soon as this battle came out of the Battle of Changping, the resentment that accumulated in the hearts of Zhao people.

made Guo Kai a national hero of Zhao State, and since then he has been in power in Zhao State.

Guo Kai messed up Zhao, could it be that Cheng Chan was single-handedly controlled?

Ying Chengcheng looked at the First Emperor, who gradually turned back from a state of excitement, and as soon as his wisdom occupied the high ground, he was immediately driven down by shock.

"Just take what you need, I will be the first gentleman of Daqin, and he will be his first god of war in the Warring States."

It turned out to be the work of Cheng Chan......

How far can the adult toad see?

Defeat and defeat Zhao, this kind of tactics is unheard of!

How can Cheng Chan conclude that Guo Kai can rise to prominence?

Can Zhao Wangqian be overthrown?

Can you order the assassination of Li Mu?

Can you sell Zhao Guo and seek to tolerate evil?

Is there an unpredictable prophet who can only care?

The First Emperor was still in shock.

Ying Chengcheng didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The world has been decided, and it is time to reverse the thinking of the imperial brother.

The people are weak and the country is strong?

No!

The people are rich and the country is strong!

The policy of fooling the people must not be done again!

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about the topic we disconnected earlier. I don't agree with the theory that the people are weak and the country is strong, I think they are all wrong. ”

Ying Cheng was very regular, knocked on the table again and again, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, times have changed."
