After entering the palace to find Liu Chan for approval, Ma Tan officially began to be instructed to design new fonts and printing techniques in Shu Han.

For Ma Yan, this is a relatively simple matter. For the Han Dynasty, the popularization of simplified Chinese characters may be a bit too advanced, but the popularization of the regular script of the Tang Dynasty is just right.

As mentioned earlier, the Han Dynasty actually had regular scripts. For example, Zhong Xuan, who was killed by the prime minister some time ago, is a regular script master.

However, the regular script of this era has just begun to appear, and there are still many shadows of official scripts in the main glyph of the main body. Many of these strokes are still calligraphy, which is obviously very troublesome for large-scale engraving.

Therefore, Ma Jian is ready to directly take out the regular script of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the official printing font of the Tang Dynasty in history. Only this kind of horizontal and vertical, angular glyph is suitable for large-scale printing.

However, when Ma Tan came to Taixue with his will, he was excited by a group of doctors from Taixue. One by one, the doctors who were born in Confucian scholars were filled with righteous indignation and accused Ma Jian of relying on power to mislead the country.

Writing has been an extremely important part of the process since ancient times, and this has a bearing on the proper functioning of the bureaucratic system of the Great Unified Dynasty. Therefore, from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty for 400 years, it was a capital crime to make and promote characters without permission, and each doctor could only practice calligraphy by himself to save face.

As a result, Ma Yan's side suddenly had a lot of bricks flying, and the documents came from the imperial court to ask everyone to use the font he designed. These people who were professors of Confucianism in the era had to desperately oppose Ma Tan's moves, both in public and private.

"General Che Rider! This is a misguided policy!! ”

"So-and-so will go to the palace to find His Majesty, if His Majesty does not agree to take back his fate, he will be killed at the gate of the palace!"

"Nonsense! It's nonsense! The general of the chariot is messing around, and His Majesty is messing around with him! ”

A group of doctors were excited, and Ma Jian was a little speechless. In particular, these people resolutely did not cooperate, which gave Ma Jian a headache.

"Shut up! What nonsense is here! In the end, Ma Tan got up directly and angrily, and pulled out his sword.

"What's the noise! Your Majesty will carry out your Majesty's will, do you want to disobey Your Majesty's orders! ”

"Your Majesty is young, follow you and wait for nonsense, this is a disaster for the country!" An old doctor was righteous in his words, and resolutely refused to follow this one.

In this regard, Ma Tan just rolled his eyes, and directly waved his hand to call the guards in,

"Please let this gentleman out!"

"Yui!"

"Eh, what do you want to do!"

Under the old man's angry reprimand, several guards grabbed the uncooperative and threw him out.

"I'm not here to discuss with you, this move is an important decision of the imperial court. If you are not satisfied, you can go to His Majesty's Prime Minister to complain, or go to the Imperial Observatory. ”

"But be honest with me now, I'm in a hurry!"

Ma Yan's attitude calmed down most of the doctors, and with the experience of the previous Confucian scholars, these doctors were obviously a little frightened.

"Okay, well, it turns out that the prime minister's beloved apprentice, the general of the chariot and cavalry, is like this, it's really a long insight."

But at this moment, a person walked in from outside, laughing and mocking Ma Yan's arrogance.

However, after hearing it, Ma Tan felt that the voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, and then turned his head and saw an old acquaintance.

"Qin Mi?"

"It's down that the general of the chariot is so powerful!" This Shuzhong talent was obviously a little unaccustomed to Ma Yan's measures, and he stepped forward and planned to mock him.

Although he is a native of the local faction, he can be regarded as half of his own people, but Qin Mi, a cultural person, is very dissatisfied with Ma Yan's arrogant move.

"It's just in time, Lao Qin has something important to discuss with you." Seeing that the person who came was an acquaintance, Ma Tan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Qin Mi's hand,

"Let's go, let's talk to me in the house!"

", Long Yang?" Qin Mi was shocked, but before he could break free, he was dragged into the house by Ma Tan.

This scene shocked a group of Confucian students outside, and they all glanced at each other and saw each other's bewilderment.

The general of the Che Cavalry was not only not angry when he was taunted by Qin Mi, but also dragged him into the house?

How does this open?

…………

…………

…………

"So, your plan is to reduce the cost of the book by designing a new typeface and researching the printing process?"

Qin Mi, who was dragged into the house by Ma Tan, was almost scared to death, and only calmed down after Ma Tan's explanation.

"In that case, you can just say no, and most of the doctors in Taixue are not unreasonable."

"So many doctors, it's troublesome to explain, so I'm too lazy to explain." Ma Tan replied very briefly, and at the same time looked at Qin Mi with blazing eyes,

"Of course, this is a secondary reason, and there is an important reason that I can't reveal my plans to them."

"Oh? Do you have any new plans? Qin Mi was slightly stunned, and when she saw Ma Yan's expression, she felt that something was wrong, and immediately raised her eyebrows and asked,

"Has Zi Yi ever commented on the ancient books of scriptures?" Ma Jian didn't say it directly, but suddenly asked a clueless question.

"Nonsense, I'm a bachelor of great learning, how can I not annotate ancient books?" Qin Mi rolled her eyes, feeling that Ma Jian had asked a nonsense.

Ancient books are mainly the so-called Four Books and Five Classics, many of which were handed down during the Spring and Autumn Period. However, because so many years have passed, there have been gaps in many inheritances, resulting in many of the classical Chinese recorded by the ancient sages who were currently incomprehensible.

Therefore, since the Western Han Dynasty, the major Confucian scholars have taken pleasure in adding annotations to the scriptures. According to their own understanding, different people annotated the Four Books and the Five Classics in broken sentences.

Until now, this has basically become a tradition, and the bachelors of Taixue will basically annotate and interpret the ancient books by themselves. Different Confucian families have different understandings of the scriptures and different research directions.

Qin Mi, as a bachelor of Taixue and a famous Confucian in Shuzhong, naturally also annotated and translated ancient books.

"Then there is no problem...... Ma Jian nodded slightly, and then asked a proposal that made Qin Mi's heart skip a beat,

From now on, all the printed and produced Four Books and Five Classics will be annotated according to Ziyi's understanding. All the Confucian students who entered Taixue only studied the scriptures of Ziyi's commentary, so how is that? ”

This sentence made Qin Mi's heart skip a beat. Immediately, he saw Ma Yan's serious eyes, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, Qin Mi's heart skipped another beat.

Ma Tan's meaning is to hold him Qin Mi to the sky!

It is the dream of every Confucian student to pass on the scriptures to the world and carry forward his own scriptures. And today, Ma Jian gave him Qin Mi a suggestion to realize his dream!
