Chapter 303: Mountain God?
"Sentence reading and pronunciation, as well as fake words and conjunctions!" Lan Hai said slowly, "Sentence reading is best explained, and it can be illustrated by examples;
If this sentence is broken and becomes 'the people can make it from it, but not from it', it is a foolish people, and if it is broken and becomes 'the people can make it from it, and if it can't, make it known', it is to respect the common people. These are two very different interpretations.
And this kind of sentence breaking abounds in the classics, and it is often impossible to understand a passage, or even the whole text, because of the right or wrong sentence.
Also, in some of the more extreme articles, especially the Tao Te Ching, the core idea of spiritual practice, it is said that there are only two sentences in the whole text, one is preaching and the other is moral. As for the internal explanation, it is fragmentary, as many as thousands of ways to break sentences, and as a result, there are thousands of strange practices that have been prosperous for a long time.
There is also pronunciation, the complete ancient Chinese has eighteen main pronunciations and many auxiliary pronunciations, speaking is like singing, and many people are unable to master this skill nowadays. In particular, among the various schools, they often do not completely use all the pronunciations, but will use the parts of Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu, Light and Heavy and Low High and Light Long and Short and Elegant and Crazy and Distant and Distant Parts, supplemented by some syllables such as vibrato and post-nasal sound to interpret the classics. Often, different texts have different syllables and do not use all the pronunciations.
The third is to pass the fake word, as well as the conjunction, such as 'zhiyu' is often replaced by 'zhu'. And in some articles, there are too many such places. And each genre has its own phonetic pronunciation and pseudonyms.
The above three points are the reasons. Three reasons have an almost complete monopoly on the core ideas of the various genres. Outsiders' understanding of the inside of the school is often one-sided, and one-sidedness means incorrect. ”
"Thank you, Master. Xiao Hao sighed slightly in his heart, in the environment of real ancient Chinese, if you want to popularize pinyin and the like, you can only judge the future - it is conceivable that you want to use four pronunciations to interpret the real ancient thoughts. Difficulties. It's not that it can't be at all, but it's difficult.
However, Xiao Hao still said the idea of pinyin, using a method similar to radical syllables, after standardization, it can easily annotate ten kinds of syllables; But there are still some shortcomings.
After listening to Xiao Hao's thoughts, Lan Hai thought about it for a while before saying: "This idea is very good, but I think that if you can't educate and inherit it correctly, don't implement it, otherwise it will make the culture go to a point of no return." Whether it is life or cultural inheritance, it is easy to go downhill.
If such an incomplete lineage is used, it will ruin the existing qiē. In this way, it is better to continue to spread the word.
Moreover, the luck between heaven and earth is limited after all, and large-scale education is not necessarily a good thing for the cultivation of luck, and a large number of ordinary people have poured into this world of supernatural powers. It will only add countless corpses. It is better to build a few elite places and educate those who are interested in changing their fate.
Those who have a heart can achieve things, and those who have no heart should not enter this way. For ordinary people, a peaceful life is enough. ”
Xiao Hao shook his head, "A peaceful life? Impossible! The shadow of the division of the human race has appeared, and the foreign race is eyeing each other, and the chaos in the world has been revealed. Moreover, the rise and fall of the world and the suffering of the people; I want to ask for peace but I can't.
But since there are still such and such problems, let's first follow the traditional way of education. The way to annotate standard pinyin. Let Wang Fei continue to study; I don't think we can give up this point, after all, there is a standard, which is of great significance to the unification of the world. ”
"Hmm. After listening to Xiao Hao's words, after Lan Hai and Xiao Hao discussed some government affairs issues again, the two dispersed and took charge of their own affairs. As for Li Ziyu, he suddenly became the spokesperson of the miscellaneous family and the Li patriarchal family. For the time being, it seems that the impact on Haizhou is somewhat distant, and there is no need for special attention.
In fact, the blue ocean is very busy now, and the busy feet do not touch the ground! The prime minister is not so easy to do, especially in Haizhou, where all the new politics are made. New ideas, new atmosphere, all have to start from scratch and explore by themselves. It made Lord Lanhai feel very depressed, and he had an empty stomach of wisdom and ideas, but he found a lot of things, and he was directly stillborn - too much change!
And a few days later, Lan Hai once again had a conflict of opinion with Xiao Hao because of one thing, or it can't be said to be a conflict, but the two sides have different views. Therefore, it also led a plenary meeting of Haizhou: not only officials, a few nobles who adapted to the environment of Haizhou, but also representatives of workers, peasants and merchants.
Blue Ocean was the first to express his opinion: "We should learn from the situation in the Central Plains and build the Great Wall and canals to gather luck." The distribution of qi luck between heaven and earth is uneven, which is why there are mountains, rivers, plains, and deserts.
And we can build the Great Wall and canals through guò to transport and gather luck, and gather the luck between heaven and earth around the capital. ”
Of course, the construction of the blue ocean has received a lot of support, because everyone does this, and the tradition is like this! The reason why the Central Plains is so rich is that it leads to countless Great Walls and canals, artificially replenishes the dragon veins, and gathers the luck of Dongsheng Shenzhou in the Central Plains, so that there is that miraculous world -- the whole Central Plains rises from the ground and reaches into the sky, and the area on it is not only vast, but also very rich.
"It's not very useful to build the Great Wall and canals! I have a better idea!" Xiao Hao knew very well that if the Great Wall and canals were really built in large quantities, it would become a bottomless pit, and in the end, the future of the entire Haizhou could be filled in -- the existing Great Wall and canals were all accumulated over tens of thousands of years, and Xiao Hao did not feel that he was capable of doing so! And Xiao Hao would not agree to allocate funds to build a large number of useless Great Wall!
If the Great Wall is built outside, the people inside will feel slack off and eventually degenerate themselves. In fact, in another world, the Chinese civilization eventually declined, and there were many disasters and difficulties, and the construction of a large number of Great Walls was a big reason. Border fortresses can be had, but the large-scale construction of the Great Wall Xiao Hao is a tough opposition!
And the canal has a certain effect, but it is not excavated indiscriminately. No matter what the era, the excavation of a large number of canals is a very heavy burden.
The right number of canals and walls is beneficial, but not excessive!
Of course, Xiao Hao was able to strongly oppose the construction of a large number of Great Walls and canals because he already had a plan in his heart - to replace a large number of Great Walls and canals with roads.
"The road doesn't have the ability to transmit luck!" Blue Ocean is also very opposed to this.
"There is no road, but people do!" Xiao Hao also did an investigation. "As long as there are people on the road, the road has the ability to transport luck, and it is much better than the Great Wall and the canal!
In particular, the Great Wall and the canal need to be repaired vigorously and frequently, and the road is almost simply repaired! ”
In Xiao Hao's opinion. Qi luck is like the "nutrients" between heaven and earth, and the Great Wall and canals are like passages, but after thinking about it, Xiao Hao found that the roads and the endless flow of people are more like blood vessels and blood, and the ability to transport qi luck is more powerful.
"But the road needs to be shuttled at all times, which is very difficult!" Blue Ocean also has its own insight, now the scope of Haizhou is more than 1000 miles from east to west, more than 500 miles from north to south, such a vast area is less than a million people, how many people can shuttle on the road. There are no roads with a lot of people shuttling around. It's the same as a silted river, and you can't transport it well!
"It's okay if there are fewer people, you can let people walk more. Xiao Hao said indifferently.
"Ridiculous!" Lan Hai was a little annoyed, "Who would run around idle! You can't drive civilians to run on the road every day!"
It's so strange to think of a group of officials with whips driving civilians down the road, doing nothing but walking around!
"Merchant!" Xiao Hao's words were sonorous and powerful.
"This ......" blue ocean suddenly stuck.
Xiao Hao stood up and looked at the industrial and commercial representatives around him. Of course, he also looked at the officials and others around him, and his tone was full of longing: "Everyone. Everyone knows that there is no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, and no life. I think that in the next Haizhou, we need to encourage agriculture, encourage handicrafts, and open up commerce. In particular, the combination of commerce and agriculture, and the combination of commerce and handicrafts. Most importantly. Combining business and infrastructure. With commerce as the bloodline, it runs through the entire Haizhou society. ”
Shangshu Province, represented by Lan Hai, continued to raise objections: "Merchants value profit over righteousness, and if they attach too much importance to business, it is very likely that the whole society will pursue profit and no longer pursue truth." Does this need to be restricted?"
Xiao Hao looked at the happy businessman representatives around him: "To govern the country according to law, there must be laws to follow." There is a way to decide. Since the policy has been set, of course, there must be a corresponding legal strategy.
Xiao Yuantang, this matter is handed over to you to deal with, and you must specify the corresponding strategy from all aspects to ensure legal and normal transactions and put an end to false fraud. Any false fraud will be punished severely.
It is impossible to say that there may be things that the law does not know, but it is impossible for us not to know about false and fraudulent acts! When we encounter false and fraudulent acts, all the people involved will be arrested and will not show mercy.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"
"The young master is wise. "The merchants don't have anything. First of all, the representatives who were invited were themselves censored, and secondly, false fraud was indeed the biggest "cause" of serious and healthy business, and it would be very gratifying for businessmen if Haizhou could establish a special commercial law to ensure trade, etc. Especially as representatives of businessmen, they will also participate in the formulation of relevant laws, which is an unprecedented event!
In the past, the entire world of the human race, and even the surrounding barbarian world, it was good not to despise merchants, and all kinds of false frauds and the like were even led by nobles, making ordinary merchants miserable; And Haizhou's reform allowed these businessmen to see opportunities. At least these serious businessmen can be said to be grateful.
Xiao Hao's Haizhou plenary meeting this time was, of course, not only to discuss commercial law, roads, the Great Wall and canals, but also the corresponding strategies.
After determining the concept of commercial law, Xiao Hao threw a bombshell and asked the merchants to build roads! Haizhou did not pay a penny, only issued policies, and the merchants were responsible for building the corresponding road sections. Xiao Hao asked people to spread out a rough map of Haizhou, which roughly marked more than a dozen major roads, marked one, two, three, and four according to their importance, and bid in sections for the merchants to build by themselves. After the construction is completed, tolls can be charged. Of course, roads must be built according to the corresponding uniform standards. In addition, the 30 zhang space along the road also belongs to the road builder.
And because it is the first time to announce this strategy, Xiao Hao's conditions are very relaxed, and the profits are also very rich. For example, after the construction, as long as the roads are unobstructed, they can be used on rainy days, and as long as they pay taxes according to the regulations, they will have the ownership of these roads for 100 years.
Although some businessmen did not participate, there were also many smart businessmen who saw the opportunity, of course, it may also be a sycophant, anyway, when Lan Hai and others were still hesitating, the businessmen had already finished bidding. Each section of the road is 50 miles, and several businessmen can cooperate to shoot a section of the road, or one person can take several sections of the road.
But just when Xiao Hao was a little proud, a merchant stood up and pointed to a location on the map: "Young Master Qiyu, this location was originally the intersection of Gyeongju and Lizhou, and there is a mountain here, called Wild Wolf Mountain, which is more than 20 miles in circumference, and there is a mountain god living here.
