After dinner, the four princes took Zhao Yao for a walk in the courtyard.

After walking and eating, the four princes began to teach Zhao Yao to learn Li Jiazi.

Although the Li family character looks strange, it is simpler to write than the current character. Besides, the Li family character evolved through the current character, which is easy to recognize and not difficult to learn.

After studying for an hour, Zhao Yao got to know a lot of Li family characters.

The fourth prince was very happy when he saw that Zhao Yao was learning quickly.

"Fourth brother, the Li family character is not difficult, but the Li family character is so strange and ugly." Zhao Yao still thinks that the simplified Chinese characters of Zhao Yao's world in his dream are good.

The fourth prince smiled: "It's indeed strange and ugly, so there is no spread of the Li family's characters, only the Li family knows it." ”

"Fourth brother, I think the Li family character should be the unique code of the Li family, not a text." Zhao Yao looked at the strange Li family character he had just written, and said with a smile, "People who don't know Li family characters will think that this is some kind of ghost painting." ”

"You're right, this is the Li family's code."

Speaking of codes, Zhao Yao's mind suddenly thought of the Morse code.

The Morse code is more like a cipher than the Li family character, and it can be communicated through the Morse code in the future.

Seeing Zhao Yao frowning, the fourth prince looked thoughtful, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Fourth brother, is it true that in addition to the Li family, other families also have their own writings?"

"There used to be, but now there isn't." The fourth prince said, "Since the book was written in the same text, no one used those words before, and they gradually disappeared. The reason why the Li family character can be used to this day is because the Li family must learn the Li family character, and the Li family must use the Li family character to copy books every year. ”

Zhao Yao looked surprised: "Why do you want to stipulate this?" ”

"Because the Li family wants to pass on the knowledge they know and the books they have obtained from generation to generation, these will always be the foundation of the Li family." The fourth prince said softly, "If one day, someone robs all the Li family's collection, they won't know the Li family's collection. ”

"But doesn't the Li family have a lot of unique original books?"

"These original books, the Li family hid in a very secret place." The fourth prince said, "The Li family will not let these lone books be lost or robbed." ”

Hearing the four princes say this, Zhao Yao finally understood why the Li family collected books.

"It turns out that the Li family created their own characters because of this."

"The ancestors of the Li family were very prescient, and the Li family has more books than the Kong family over the years."

"Does the Kong family have their own characters?"

When the fourth prince heard Zhao Yao's question, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "My stupid tenth brother, most of the characters we are learning now are created by the Confucian family. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yao knew this kind of thing for the first time, and he was surprised, "So that's the case." ”

"Many of the books we read now were compiled by the Confucian family." The fourth prince was amused by Zhao Yao's stunned appearance, "In this regard, the Li family is not as good as the Kong family. ”

"But, fourth brother, aren't your grandfathers teaching in Taixue?" Zhao Yao pretended to be innocent and said, "Isn't the Li family better than the Kong family, and the Kong family doesn't teach too much." "Speaking of which, when Grandpa Huang established Taixue, he only invited the Li family to teach, but did not let the Kong family go to Taixue to teach. So far, none of the gentlemen in Taixue were born in the Confucian family.

The Confucian family has its own academy, and the Confucian family only studies in their own academy, and it is impossible for them to go to Taixue to study. In fact, there are many people in the Kong family who want to go to Taixue to study, but they don't dare to go against the rules of the clan and go to Taixue to study.

"The Kong family has their own academy, and they don't look down on learning."

The Kong family and the Li family are harmonious on the surface, but in fact, the two families secretly compete with each other, and no one looks down on anyone, and no one obeys anyone.

When the Li family was in the previous dynasty, it was not as good as the Kong family. However, in the Great Zhou, the status and influence of the Li family were higher than those of the Kong family. In the past 20 years, Kong Taichang's family has always wanted to compare the Li family, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

The Kong family secretly soured the Li family, saying that the Li family was the lackeys of the royal family, and they would only train officials for the royal family, and they would not be good at literature.

The Li family thought that the Kong family was funny, but the head of their Kong family violated the ancestral teachings, not only supported the concubine King Yun to seize the heir, but also disregarded people's lives in vain, and did a lot of hurtful things for King Yun. Compared to their Li family, their Kong family is more like lackeys.

The Kong family was so scolded by the Li family that they couldn't refute it if they wanted to. Although the head of the family in the previous dynasty has been removed from the Kong family, the head of the family back then was the real Kong family.

The head of the family in the previous dynasty will always be the pain in the hearts of the Kong family and the shame of their Kong family. As long as this head of the family is mentioned, the Kong family will not be able to raise their heads.

Zhao Yao found that when his fourth brother mentioned the Kong family, a trace of disdain crossed his eyes.

"Ah, Taixue is the highest university in Da Zhou, and many people can't get in, why do the Kong family look down on Taixue." Zhao Yao pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "I have the ability to enter the Taixue family." ”

"The Kong family disdains to take the test too much."

"I don't think so." Zhao Yao said, "The Kong family definitely wants to enter Taixue, but Taixue doesn't want the Kong family." “

"The Kong family is high and doesn't look down on learning."

"Fake Qinggao, I think the Kong family must also want to be officials." Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "Who doesn't want to be an official, and then glorify your ancestors." Those who say that they are not interested in being an official are actually fake Qinggao, because they can't be an official if they want to. ”

The fourth prince was a little surprised, he didn't expect the tenth brother to understand this matter.

"How do you know that the Kong family wants to be an official?"

"Fourth brother, who in this world doesn't want to be an official." Zhao Yao felt that he was underestimated, he glared at the fourth prince and said, "The ancestor of the Kong family still wants to be an official, otherwise how can he lobby around." If the Kong family doesn't want to be officials, then they should stay in their hometown and teach. ”

The fourth prince smiled: "It seems that you have been studying with Mr. Xiao well during this time." ”

"Not really." Zhao Yao smiled proudly, "By the way, these people are called selling fame and reputation." Fourth brother, am I right? ”

"Yes, that's right." The fourth prince praised Zhao Yao and said, "The word "fame and reputation is very good." "There are indeed many people in the Kong family who sell their reputations." During this time, I have made great progress in reading, and I must continue to study well with Mr. Xiao. ”

"Fourth brother, I can't study hard every day, but I will study hard every few days." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "If you want me to study hard every day, I can't stand it." However, I can still study hard every few days. ”

"You, how can you bargain for reading."

"Anyway, I don't like to read every day." Zhao Yao puffed out his face and said, "Besides, I'm not smart at reading, I study hard every day, I won't be able to bear it." ”

Listening to Zhao Yao's self-aware words, the fourth prince smiled helplessly and dotingly at Zhao Yao: "Then you can study hard every few days." ”

"Fourth brother, it's not too early, I'll go back first." Zhao Yao stood up and said to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, I will come to you again tomorrow and continue to learn the Li family." ”

"Okay."

"It's so fun to learn Li Jiazi." Zhao Yao waved his hand to the four princes, and then left Xingde Palace with Tongxi.

He wanted to go and greet the Eighth Prince, but when he saw that it was too early, he had to give up. Besides, I'll be able to see Starlings tomorrow morning.

Zhao Yao hummed the song of Zhao Yao's world in his dream, and bounced back to the Kunde Palace.

Liang Zhaoyi saw that his son had finally returned, and hurriedly asked him what he was doing when he went to Shang Fangling after school in the afternoon.

"I'm going to improve the paper." Zhao Yao said, "I suggest that when they make paper, they put some bamboo, mulberry and rattan skin and other things. The paper made from these things will be very good. ”

"Really?" Liang Zhaoyi said expectantly, "Then I'll wait." ”

"When it's done, you'll be surprised, Princess."

Liang Zhaoyi remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way, Shang Fangling's father-in-law Han personally sent some cement, what do you want to do with cement?" ”

"Be a baby." Zhao Yao said with a mysterious face, "Mother, I still have something to do, so I'll go to the study first." After saying that, he ran to the study.

Liang Zhaoyi asked Tongxi: "What is he going to do?" ”

Tongxi shook his head and said, "Your Highness didn't tell the slave maid. ”

"Mysterious."

"Niangniang, the things made by His Royal Highness must be extraordinary, just wait." Tongxi thought of the two iron rings made by His Highness before. At that time, he still hated that the two iron rings were useless, but he didn't expect those two iron rings to be of great use. Since then, he has never dared to underestimate what His Highness has made.

"Okay, then I'll wait." Liang Zhaoyi smiled softly, "I won't bother him." ”

As soon as Zhao Yao returned to the study, he wrote out the content of the movable type printing in his mind.

In order to make movable type printing, he had to get the "characters" out. First, the cement is made into embryos with consistent specifications, and then the words are engraved on it, and then it is hardened. When it is time to print, it is directly brushed with ink.

Zhao Yao took a quill pen to draw the embryo made of clay, and muttered: "I need to carve a lot of words, and I don't know how many words there are now." ”

"No matter, let Shang Fangling's people carve out all the words they usually use, so that it will be much more convenient when printing."

After a while, Tongxi walked in with ginseng soup.

"Your Highness, it's not too early, it's time for you to take a bath and rest. But you'll have to drink this bowl of ginseng soup first. ”

"I'm all right, why do I still drink ginseng soup?"

"This is tonic soup, your body still needs to be replenished." Tongxi coaxed, "This is the ginseng specially prepared for you by the Fourth Highness, if you don't drink it, wouldn't you be sorry for the heart of the Fourth Highness." ”

"Also, centuries-old ginseng." Zhao Yao said, took the ginseng soup, and drank it in a big gulp.

Tongxi glanced at the painting on the table and asked curiously, "Your Highness, what are you painting here, the words?" ”

"Secret, when Shang Fangling makes what I painted, you will know." After Zhao Yao drank the ginseng soup, he went to the side hall next door to bathe.

The next day, after school at noon, Zhao Yao did not go to Lanyuan Pavilion, but returned to Kunde Palace.

Gonggong Han sent a eunuch who was good at carving to the Kunde Palace, named Xiao Fengzi.

Xiao Fengzi was waiting at the gate of the Wende Hall before noon.

Zhao Yao took Xiao Fengzi back to the Kunde Palace, and immediately handed Xiao Fengzi what he had painted yesterday, and told Xiao Fengzi about his request.

"Your Highness Ten, don't worry, the slave will definitely get all the words out according to your requirements."

"You can get a few words out first, and show them to me." Zhao Yao once again solemnly explained, "Remember, you must make the specifications of these words exactly the same, otherwise it will be useless even if you get them." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Then I'm bothering you."

When Xiao Fengzi heard this, he said with a panicked face: "Your Highness, you are serious. ”

"Then you go back first, and come back to me when you make it." Zhao Yao smiled and said to Xiao Fengzi, "If you do well, I will reward you." ”

When Xiao Fengzi heard this, his expression became very excited; "Your Highness, the slave must do a good job!"

The second watch is coming.

Thank you, veterans, for your monthly pass! Thank you for your support and encouragement!

I will continue to work hard to update the codeword!
