Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Li Shen has been at home for more than ten days, taking his children fishing every day.

Although the days were unremarkable, as they passed day by day, it accumulated to be a beautiful and warm day for Li Shen.

During this period, Wang Xuance also came to report that His Majesty had returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Kong Yingda, who is offering wine at the Imperial Academy, is here to visit." Shitou came in to report.

"Kong Yingda?" Li Shen was stunned. He and Kong Yingda had nothing to do with each other.

"Please come to the front hall and serve tea." Li Shen said.

Then he waved to the nannies in the distance and asked them to take care of the children, while he went back to change his clothes and went to the front hall.

As soon as I arrived in the front hall, I saw Kong Yingda sitting there drinking tea.

Seeing Li Shen coming, he quickly saluted:

"I see King Ji."

"No need to be polite, the student has met Master Kong."

After the two parties met, Li Shen sat down at the main seat and asked:

"I wonder why Master Kong is here?"

Kong Yingda's face straightened, but when he saw Li Shen's serious look, he smiled and said:

"His Royal Highness King Ji forgets things a lot. Did King Ji forget about letting me write the dictionary?"

"Oh, Master Kong, don't be surprised. It's my fault that I forgot about this." Li Shen slapped his forehead.

It's been several years since this happened, and Li Shen really forgot about it.

"It seems that King Ji is really busy with things." Kong Yingda said.

"What Master Kong said, it is indeed my fault. I really forgot. Could it be that when Master Kong came this time, the dictionary matter has been completed?" Li Shen was a little embarrassed.

"That's it. Your Majesty, please take a look." Kong Yingda took out a thick book and handed it to Li Shen.

Li Shen took it and opened it. There were many words written densely inside, including pinyin and annotations.

After flipping through a few pages, Li Shen closed the book and praised:

"Well, yes, Master Confucius can indeed be called a contemporary great scholar. This dictionary will be remembered for generations, and Master Confucius's name will also be remembered by future generations."

Hearing Li Shen's words, Kong Yingda also had a smile on his face. If it weren't for this, why would he have worked so hard for so many years.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is all to fulfill the wishes of our ancestors and educate the people.

There are a total of [-] words in it, and the pronunciation and meaning of each word are noted.

In this way, when the common people study the sacred science, they can also understand the meaning of the saints. "

Li Shen nodded in agreement;

"What Master Kong said is reasonable, but how to let the people learn from it still requires Master Kong to worry about.

Master Kong also knows that I have built more than [-] colleges in the five roads over the years. The source of students is not a problem.

I only hope that Master Kong can cultivate more teachers who understand pinyin and go to these colleges to teach.

It is also good for these students to learn the way of saints as soon as possible. "

"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji, I have already started teaching Pinyin in the Imperial College and universities, and now there are more than two hundred people there.

As long as they continue to be responsible for teaching other readers, a large number of people will soon learn Pinyin.

This is actually not difficult. Kong Yingda said confidently.

"That's good, then I'll just rely on Master Kong. If you need anything, just ask Master Kong. Although I don't have much literary talent, I can solve many problems."

Li Shen means to solve all problems except literary talent.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Ji. The second purpose of my visit this time is to print the dictionary." Kong Yingda immediately made a request without being polite.

Printing books is very expensive.

"Haha, just leave this to me. What do you think of Master Kong printing a million copies first?" Li Shen said with a smile.

Li Shen's current printing content is very low. A dictionary only has a few hundred words in it, and a million copies only has a few hundred thousand words.

Li Shen just cheated others and got it back. Besides, except for the academy, which was given free of charge, others had to pay for it.

Li Shen also has a Datang Bookstore.

Kong Yingda was also very happy to hear what Li Shen said. It is completely conceivable that after this dictionary is distributed, everyone will remember his name.

This is the reason why Li Shen came to him. Kong Yingda is the kind of old scholar who doesn't love money or power and only wants to be famous in history.

After sending Kong Yingda away, Li Shen immediately summoned Wang Xuance and showed Wang Xuance the dictionary.

"My lord, I didn't expect that Kong Jijiu was actually completed, and not only the commonly used words, but also some uncommon words were recorded in it."

Wang Xuance looked at the dictionary and sighed.

"I can't be wrong in choosing the wrong person. You should immediately arrange for the printing factory to make a decision and set aside a group of people to print the dictionary.

Try to print one million copies as soon as possible. "Li Shen ordered.

"My lord, if this dictionary is released, it will be a huge blow to the aristocratic family. If the pinyin method can be widely spread,

In that day, everyone in the world would be able to read and read. When the five surnamed families closed the Eight Pillar Kingdom, the advantage of the Shandong gentry would be gone.

When the time comes, I am afraid that they will hold a grudge against you, Your Majesty, and fight against you together, Your Majesty. "

Of course Wang Xuance understands the seriousness of this matter. If you are literate, you may not be able to read.

But there are annotations in the dictionary, and Kong Yingda wrote the annotations in detail because he was afraid that others would not understand his ancestor's book.

Kong Yingda also included some uncommon words, so that readers can translate them bit by bit according to the dictionary and then understand them.

"What are you afraid of? This is not written by me.

You should state on the front page of the dictionary that this book was written by Kong Yingda of the Imperial Academy, who led several of his students to study day and night, after ten years, no, twenty years, and painstaking efforts. of.

Isn’t the author’s name written at the end? Xuance, we cannot add the fruits of other people's labor to ourselves,

This is a shameless behavior. We cannot deprive other people of the fruits of their labor, you know.

Remember, Kong Yingda’s name must be written as the main writer, and the font should be larger. It doesn’t matter if the names of other small fish and shrimps are smaller. "

With a serious look on his face, Li Shen began to educate Wang Xuance, correct his thinking, and let him become a person who is free from vulgar taste.

Wang Xuance's face looked as ugly as constipation. He wanted to say: "Your Majesty, I want to die." ’

But seeing the serious look on Li Shen's face, Dao held back the last word.

"My lord, you are right."

"Hey~~~ That's right. Children can be taught. Don't always care about gains and losses. We must be virtuous people.

We want the world to know that our Prince Ji’s Mansion is a place full of justice.

We should uphold..."

"Your Majesty, you have found out more about the expenses of Prince Jin's Mansion."

Just when Li Shen was still about to chatter, Wang Xuance reluctantly interrupted Li Shen.

He really didn't understand how one person could be normal sometimes and abnormal sometimes, just like two people.

Wang Xuance didn't know that later generations had a word called schizophrenia. Li Shen, on the other hand, is a crazy type with a dual personality.

(Explanation, dual personality is not a mental illness. According to surveys, most people have dual personality.)
