"No, it can't be. ”

Yang Shi almost shouted, according to the simplified plan just written, Yang Shi knew that a large number of people must enter the entire folk to collect, and not only to collect folk, but also to collect historical materials, read ancient books, and read all kinds of ancient characters, such as Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang...... and so on.

Collecting simplified words made by folk conventions, will this project be small?

Gather historical information, dig through ancient books, and find out which ones are older than traditional Chinese characters, starting with oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, and small seals?

Reading through the writings of famous people in the past and finding the simplified Chinese characters they used, this is a simple matter? Close your eyes and think about it, you can also know that all this is a big project, and the expenditure of manpower, material resources, and time is not a trivial matter.

"It must only be a hundred words. ”

Yang Shi flipped through this edition, looked at the next edition, his pupils widened again, and the whole page of this edition was a comparison table of simplified and traditional Chinese.

In the later generations, there were 352 simplified words that could not be used as a side, 132 words that could be used as a side simplification, and 1754 words that could be used as a side simplification, so there were 2236 words that were simplified overall, which is a very huge amount.

Looking at the comparison table on the whole page, Yang Shi was stunned for a moment before taking a slight breath.

"Could it be ......" Yang Shilian carefully looked at these simplified words, and quickly raised his eyebrows.

"I remember telling my uncle and me about the word 'net', this way of writing comes from the pre-Qin period, and it is an oracle bone inscription ......"

"The word 'yin and yang' comes from ...... ancient book"

"And this old word is a vulgar word......"

Time passed, Yang Shi's expression became more and more solemn, and soon he finished reading more than 2,000 simplified words, of which Yang Shi already knew more than 100 words, and these more than 100 words were simplified without any mistakes according to the above rules.

"I'm afraid there are more than 2,000 words here. More than 2,000 simplified characters...... "Yang Shi pondered, if he really used these simplified characters, it would indeed be too easy to write.

"Teacher, this Qin Xianao's simplified plan seems to be written in a similar way, but I really don't know how he made up this table later......" Qin Shengbao sneered. Of the more than 2,000 simplified words, he had seen fifty or sixty before.

He Qin Shengbao worshiped under Luoxue, and he didn't know how many ancient books and solitary books, and only knew fifty or sixty. Looking at the comparison table of more than 2,000 words, Qin Shengbao sneered in his heart.

"Humph!"

Yang Shi frowned: "How do you know that he is made up nonsense? Don't you think that Qin Xianao is as unknowledgeable as you?"

"Naturally, I can't compare to him, but there are more than 2,000 simplified characters here, which is ......," Qin Shengbao said with a sneer.

Yang Shi frowned again: "He has a little more here, but." It's better for us to be cautious, when did Qin Xianao make a mistake in doing things, and you, look at Qin Xianao, he is younger than you, but how does he deal with other people's disputes? If you have that time to quarrel, it is better to calm down and really do research and research, if you can also come up with this kind of comparison table of more than 2,000 words. Who doesn't look at you, who dares to disagree?"

Qin Shengbao and Wang Jinping lowered their heads and chattered.

Yang Shi, Qin Shengbao, Wang Jinping, and Qin Wanqing continued to read the newspaper. The first solution in Qin Xianao's text is to 'transform the text', while the second solution is to 'transform the tool'.

"Printing is the most costly, but the printing technology improved by Duan Haifeng is extremely trouble-free, if printing can be like this, how can pen, ink, paper, and inkstone not be improved? And should not be constrained by the craftsman, I think that no matter the farmers and businessmen can participate in the improvement of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone process. ”

"I, Qin Xianao, set up a patent office here, and anyone who is the first to invent certain processes or technologies can ......"

......

Yang Shi frowned again.

"Patents?"

"This Qin Xianao is really ......" Yang Shi shook his head, designing a patent for a craftsman's craft. Not allowing others to follow the example of the first person to do so is simply disregarding the morality of the world and the feelings of the people, and it is absurd.

"If you are the first to plant rice, you are not allowed to plant it alone? If so, how can the world be so prosperous?" Yang Shi sneered and continued to look down.

"Regarding the matter of patents, I will write an article to analyze this matter in the future, and officially set up a patent office in Lingnan, and I will not say much about it today. ”

"In order to throw bricks and attract jade, Qin announced here a paper technology that I created by myself recently, this paper is called 'water writing paper', which is mainly used to ......" "No ink, with water as ink, this paper can write ...... repeatedly"

Yang Shi's expression suddenly became excited.

"You don't need ink, as long as you dip it in water, you can write ink characters? And the 'ink' on this cloth can be restored after drying, and you can write again and again?" No matter how much he despises the strange and obscene skills, Yang Shi can still see the real benefits of writing paper with water.

"If this is the case, I don't know how much paper and manpower will be saved for the world, but can it really be like this?"

Yang Shilian looked at the production method announced below, although this method does not understand the reason, but it is really very simple to do, and people with a little ability can buy materials and make them themselves.

"Boom!"

Yang Shi grabbed the newspaper and rushed out of the box directly.

In this issue of the newspaper, Yang Shi, Sima Kang, and Lu Xichun ...... Although Yang Shi, Sima Kang, Lu Xichun and others are not as famous as Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Lu Gongshu and others, but as the successors of the older generation such as Sima Guang, they are also very famous, and the whole page of the newspaper is consistent with the words.

Throw plenty of dirt and some will be sure to stick.

Even the most assertive and wise people are sometimes inevitably affected, not to mention the ordinary people who listen to the wind and rain, and are most likely to be gullible to people, so many people have a vague idea in their hearts - is it really not possible to 'be consistent in words'?

The common people think so.

Except for a small number of enthusiastic and indignant young people who are obsessed with reforming the people, many people are opposed, or although they think it is necessary to implement the unity of words, but they must wait until they are old before implementing it, not to mention reading these reports at this time.

But—

After the attack was finished, Qin Xianao's article appeared.

And this article first prescribes the plan of 'transforming the text', and Qin Xianao even arranged the simplified characters.

For these recipes of Qin Xianao, the superstitious belief in the existence of the Immortal Country, and the old Baixin who blindly believes in Qin Xianao is naturally a hundred trusts. And most of the people who had doubts about the 'consistency of words' also let go of the doubts in their hearts and trusted Qin Xian Aolai unconditionally again.

As for the 'simplified and traditional comparison table', no one thinks there is anything wrong, first, this condenses the final version of the 'simplified words' that have been implemented and improved again and again by countless manpower and material resources for nearly a hundred years, and second, for the common people. It was normal for Qin Xianao to take out anything, let alone such a few words.

After looking at the second prescription 'transformation technology' prescribed by Qin Xianao, especially the 'water writing paper' manufacturing plan announced, many ordinary people were excited, and then-

"Good stuff, good stuff!"

"Water can be used as ink, and paper can be written over and over again, so wouldn't it completely eliminate paper?"

"It's amazing, and it's not hard at all. ”

"These are the materials used to make water writing paper. It's very cheap, doesn't it mean that a few boys in my family can save a lot of paper money every year, and the paper of three boys can save five taels a year, and ten years is fifty taels......"

......

A lot of people who saw the 'water writing paper' rushed to tell each other, and some of them rushed directly to the various stores to buy the materials for making water writing paper, and for a time many cloth shops in the Great Song Dynasty were full of people who bought cloth, and other shops involved in the production of water writing paper materials were also very prosperous for a while.

Ancient times are different from later generations. Pay attention to everything is inferior, only reading is high.

Shinong Industry and Commerce. Scholars are in the front of the list, and there are all kinds of special treatment, so the common people of the Great Song Dynasty want to read, and the urgent desire to transform their fate through reading is far beyond the imagination of later generations.

But at this time, reading is not something that everyone can afford.

It is true that a single piece of paper is not expensive, but if you really want to provide for a scholar, the paper money required is not something that a person from a poor family can afford. What's more, the consumption of pen and ink is also a big number, it can be said that even people with a slightly better family background feel distressed in the face of the consumption of paper, so there are some poor people who do not use pens to practice calligraphy at all, but use sand. with plantain leaves and so on.

Of course, there are only a few families who can use banana leaves and sand to practice calligraphy regardless of the eyes and ridicule of others.

Many people know that they can't afford their children to study, but they also want that face, not to mention that their children can help the family if they don't study, so they simply give up letting their children study, and at this moment-

"Uncle Huang, you said that Qin Xianao announced a method for making water writing paper that is written 10,000 times?"

"Of course, it's easy to make, and the materials don't cost a lot of money!"

"You're not kidding, don't fool me for not being illiterate!"

"Who are kidding, the whole Song Dynasty knows about this, I hurriedly came to tell you, I am going to buy some materials to make a few copies, so I will ask you by the way, do you want to, if you want, I will buy a few more materials?"

"Yes, why not, that kid in my family should go to private school if he thinks about it, but it's just ......"

"With this water writing paper, the rest of the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone will not cost much, let him go to school, and it is good to know a few more words, this time Qin Xianao launched the 'consistent words' campaign, and he also said that the words should be simplified, if it can really be successful, literacy will be much easier. ”

"Qin Gongzi is a good person!"

"That is, otherwise, why would everyone in the Great Song Dynasty hope that the official family will step down and let him be the son of heaven, but unfortunately he is still too kind, and he has to go to the ravine in Lingnan to rescue the barbarians there......"

......

One day the poor people who were struggling in poverty listened to others talk about this magical water writing paper, their eyes flashed with hope, and they secretly made up their minds to let their children go to school and change the fate of their families. And the slightly richer, the rich, their money is not falling from the sky, and their eyes are also shining when they see this water writing paper.

After all, water writing paper was invented, and the biggest use in modern times is for convenience, you can practice calligraphy without washing the pen every time, not because you can't afford paper.

Modern people are annoying to wash the pen, compared with the modern people who use ink, the ancient people have to polish the ink to write, it is more inconvenient, so whether rich or poor, see this water paper, are very excited, and also rush into the street to buy materials. (To be continued.) )
