Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

"What, there are two options!"

Hearing that Li You can not only solve this problem, but also has two solutions, Kong Yingda and Li Gang couldn't help but gasp.

Li You nodded and said, "Actually, this question is not complicated, as long as we stipulate a unified method, and then everyone read it according to this method."

"But how do we determine it? And how do we let everyone know the standard we set?"

Kong Yingda asked.

In fact, just now, Kong Yingda and Li Gang reached a consensus in this way to complete the labeling of some words.

But there are a lot of commonly used words, and they don't know which words will have differences, and the work of the professors cannot be completely done by themselves, and there must be a standard.

"These are the two methods I mentioned. In the short term, we can find an article with many commonly used characters and unify the pronunciation of the characters above, and we can solve the short-term problem."

"In the long run, a dictionary needs to be compiled!"

"All the words are included in the dictionary. If you encounter a word you don't know, just look it up in the dictionary."

After listening to Li You's words, Kong Yingda and Li Gang looked at each other again, shocked again.

After a while, Kong Yingda came back to his senses, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness is indeed smart. After we go back, we will immediately search for such an article, and then make phonetic notes."

"It's just the matter of this dictionary, which is of great importance. Your Highness, please clarify how it should be compiled!"

Kong Yingda already vaguely felt that once this dictionary came out, it would shock the world and the entire Confucianism.

But although Li You has said that all the words should be put into the dictionary, Kong Yingda is still at a loss as to how to look up and use the dictionary.

[Hey, when it comes to the dictionary, it is a huge system project, you two old men will not let me do this. 】

[Forget it, now that I have said it, I will give them some guidance, so as not to bother me all the time in the future. 】

[According to their current level, it will take at least one or two years to get a dictionary. I hope they don't come to bother me when they encounter undecidable words, then I will be annoyed to death by them! 】

Li You pretended to be a little embarrassed and said: "This dictionary is just an idea. Since it is used to look up the pronunciation of characters, it must be searched according to the shape of the characters, so I think it should be based on the radicals and characters. Check the strokes."

"As for the arrangement of these words, don't I still have an alphabet, so I will follow the order of the alphabet. Words with the same pronunciation should be placed in front with fewer strokes."

Kong Yingda was younger and thought faster, and immediately understood Li You's meaning, and he was very excited.

"Yes, Your Highness, your method is good. This way people who can't read will be able to read!"

However, just after Kong Yingda finished speaking, Li You spoke again: "I think that since they have been arranged alphabetically, we might as well create a way to query by pronunciation, so that we can also look up characters by pronunciation."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda didn't understand again.

"Isn't this dictionary used to look up the pronunciation? What's the use of looking up the word after knowing the pronunciation?"

Hearing this, Li You wished he could slap him.

[No wonder Xiao Lizhi taught so hard just now, these old masters are really stupid! 】

【The labor and capital have already fed the rice to their mouths, why don't they know how to open their mouths to eat it. 】

[Dictionaries, dictionaries, can they really only look up the pronunciation? Doesn’t a word have meaning besides the pronunciation? 】

[What a group of elm bumps. 】

However, looking at Kong Yingda and Li Gang's eyes full of longing for knowledge, Li You's heart softened.

He took a deep breath, and then patiently explained: "Actually, when I read a book, I can read many words, but I don't know the specific meaning. So I have been thinking, can there be a book?" , can also write out the meaning of all the words.”

"Just now, when this king was talking about the dictionary, he wondered if the two great Confucian scholars could also list the meaning of each word at the back when compiling the dictionary."

"In this way, we can search together when we encounter words that we don't know the meaning of."

Seeing that the dictionary had finished explaining in one breath, Li You stopped.

After Kong Yingda and Li Gang finished listening, they felt as if there was thunder in their minds.

This dictionary is really amazing.

If such a dictionary can really be compiled, it will be easier for future generations to learn.

The so-called teacher preaches and teaches karma to solve doubts, so once this dictionary is published, it can solve doubts for scholars all over the world.

If Kong Yingda said that Li You was comparable to his ancestor Kong Shengren, there was even a little bit of flattery, but now he feels that his words are not too much.

At the same time, he is extremely proud to be able to participate in the compilation of this dictionary.

If this dictionary can last forever, then Kong Yingda, who compiled this book, will also be famous forever.

The so-called good name of a literati, in the face of the eternal reputation, Kong Yingda is also a little bit flustered.

Like Kong Yingda, Li Gang on the side was even more excited.

Although he didn't speak just now, his inner activities were no less than Kong Yingda's.

Moreover, compared to Kong Yingda, Li Gang had more thoughts.

He felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for a lifetime had finally appeared in front of him.

Li Gang is 80 years old this year. Although the ceiling of Confucianism is almost the ceiling of Confucianism among outsiders, in his opinion, his life has been mediocre.

He was high-spirited and advocating high moral integrity in his youth.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he served as Qi Wang Yu Wenxian's army.Zhou Xuan Emperor Yu Wenyun was about to kill Yu Wenxian, so he summoned his staff to frame and fabricate charges, Li Gang vowed to die and did not submit.

It is precisely because of this incident that Li Gang is famous among scholars.

Because of his high integrity and full of economics, the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties valued him very much and asked him to teach the prince himself.

Before Li Chengqian, the prince of the dynasty, he had successively served as the prince Xima of the abolished prince Yang Yong of the Sui Dynasty, and the prince Zhan Shi of the Tang Yin prince Li Jiancheng.

However, of the two princes, one was deposed and the other was killed, neither of them ended well.

Although this is their own fault, Li Gang also feels guilty in his heart.

For this reason, Li Gang also worked hard on Li Chengqian.

But now, Li Chengqian was depressed because he couldn't recover after falling off his horse, and his personality became extremely weird. This made Li Gang lose his confidence in cultivating a famous master.

Seeing the original old buddies Pei Ju and Zheng Yuanxuan, one galloping on the grassland again, and the other taking charge of the Honglu Temple alone, Li Gang felt even more uncomfortable.

Originally, Li Gang thought that he might end his life in Chongwenkan, but now the appearance of the dictionary ignited the fire in Li Gang's heart again.

"King Chu, leave this task to us!"
