Chapter 334: Repair the Dictionary

A literati like Kong Yingda is the kind of person who seeks fame rather than profit, and always wants to carry forward the Kong family.

Now this dictionary is the most suitable for him, this is a good opportunity to go down in history, if everyone in the world can learn, it can be said that they are all his students.

Even if the family has an opinion on this, the family can't do anything about Kong Yingda, and the influence of the Kong family is not small.

Throughout the millennium of history, the family has changed, but the Confucian group has always existed.

Li Shen hurriedly came to Guozijian with people, and Li Shen was quite familiar with this place. He's been here for years.

I met many acquaintances to greet him along the way, and Li Shen was also the earliest teenager to drop out of school, and he basically didn't go much at the age of ten.

Li Shimin is a free-range model for his concubines, and he doesn't require you to make any big contributions to the country, just don't make trouble.

Li Shen came to Kong Yingda's office with a familiar car.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ji." Kong Yingda saluted.

"I've seen Master Confucius." Li Shen also saluted.

Heaven and earth are the teacher, Li Shen is the king, Kong Yingda is the teacher,

"I don't know why King Ji is here."

After sitting down, Kong Yingda asked.

"The students want to ask Confucius how to make everyone in the world able to read the books of the sages." Li Shen didn't say the dictionary, but asked the question first.

"Can anyone read the books of the sages all day long? His Royal Highness King Ji, although Kong is determined to educate the people, for some reasons, this idea is difficult to realize. Kong Yingda replied truthfully, he also thinks that everyone in the world can read Confucianism, but books, papers, etc. are too precious.

"Master Confucius, you said that if everyone can read and write, can you buy sage books by yourself without being taught by others?" Li Shen said again.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, everyone can read and write, and it is not easy. Nowadays, there are tens of millions of people in Datang, but there is not one in ten who really read, how can there be so many people to teach? Kong Yingda said regretfully.

As Master Confucius said, so the students came here today for this purpose, and the students invented a method, like a kind of rhythm, two sounds together to mark the pronunciation of the word.

If the world learns this method in the future, then there is no need to be taught, just by seeing the rhythm of this sound, you will be able to know what to read this unknown word. Li Shen explained.

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Kong Yingda was interested.

"Master Confucius, please take a look." Li Shen took out a thousand-character text. Then show Kong Yingda some of the words he marked out yesterday.

"Master Confucius, please see, this first sentence of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, I have already marked it, this first one is called the initial, this is called the final. tian heaven di earth XUan Xuan hUang yellow. Li Shen explained to Kong Yingda in detail the role and usage of pinyin.

I also took out a list of initials and finals that I wrote.

Kong Yingda listened carefully, and after a long time, when Li Shen finished speaking, Kong Yingda not only sighed;

"His Royal Highness King Ji is really talented, this method is wonderful, as long as you find someone to teach the people these two pronunciations, then you can know what to read a strange word.

This is really a miracle, and the old man admires it to the extreme. With this method, it won't be long before many people in Datang will be able to read and write. ”

"Master Confucius has won the award, but even then it is only literacy, and reading is still a bit laborious." Li Shen shook his head and said.

"Why is that?"

"Master Confucius, you think, a person has never read a book, he has never known a word, if he knows the pronunciation of the word, but he may not know its meaning.

For example, the word heaven, we know that this is the meaning of heaven, but people who see it for the first time may not necessarily know which day it is.

When it's cold, Master Confucius wants to add some clothes. ”

Kong Yingda is proficient in academics, and Li Shen understands it as soon as he says it. Many Chinese characters are homophones, and I disagree.

"Indeed, as His Highness said." Kong Yingda thought about it again.

"And Confucius, our books, can't be printed with pronunciation, it's too much of a waste of paper, this method is intended to let the world learn to read and write, so this is also the purpose of the students coming today, and the students want to ask Confucius to help the students."

"I don't know what His Royal Highness King Ji asked Kong to do." Kong Yingda is very willing to help with this kind of thing, of course he knows that this matter is of great significance.

"The students wanted to ask Confucius to write a dictionary that would include all the commonly used characters in the Tang Dynasty, with pronunciation and annotations for each word.

In this way, when people in the world read the books of the sages, as long as there is a dictionary, they can understand their meaning, and this will be a great merit for the creation of all peoples. Li Shen stood up and gave Kong Yingda a deep salute.

Kong Yingda hurriedly stood up and excitedly supported Li Shen, he didn't expect Li Shen's plan to be so huge.

And let yourself do such an important thing. Such an opportunity to leave a name in history, Li Shen actually gave it to him. How could you not get him excited.

"His Royal Highness King Ji is really righteous, good, for the people of the world to be able to read the book of sages, and the old man is willing to help His Highness."

Kong Yingda happily agreed.

"Confucius is benevolent and righteous, and students thank Confucius on behalf of the people of the world."

After that, Li Shen began to teach Kong Yingda to recognize pinyin, and taught Kong Yingda how to write letter by letter, but after all, it is a new thing, just like when we come into contact with English letters.

Kong Yingda barely remembered half of it in an afternoon. But Li Shen is not in a hurry, this also takes time.

In the next few days, Li Shen went to Guozijian every day, making the students in the academy confused, and every time he saw the door of the two of them closed, he didn't know what he was plotting.

The news spread quickly, and the ministers of the court also heard about it, and Prince Ji, who eats, drinks and has fun all day long, has changed, and goes to Guozijian every day to find Kong Yingda to study secretly.

And when the news reached Li Shimin's ears, it changed again, and Li Shen, the god of wealth, went to Guozijian every day to find Kong Yingda and plot to buy Guozijian.

There is a nose and an eye, and the price has been talked about in the past few days.

Li Shimin, who heard the news, squirted out a sip of tea on the spot, he knew this son too well, so he wouldn't buy Guozijian,

If you like him, this son will buy a piece of land next to Guozijian and build a academy ten times larger than Guozijian, which will also be named Guozijian.

His son won't buy useless things, and Li Shimin's memory still remembers that Li Shen said when he was a child that he would buy the palace and let him pay the rent.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and ask for news?" Wang De's understanding of Li Shimin can be said to be incomparable to that of the eldest grandson and queen.

Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, you can see that the emperor is very curious now.

"No, I'd like to see what happens to Lao Shi in the end. It's not interesting to know first. "Li Shimin also has a bad taste. TV spoilers wouldn't be interesting.

Li Shimin just wanted to see what kind of moth thing Li Shen could make in the end.
