Zhen Guo Princess GL

The proposal to change the simplified characters was made together with He Shou's Memorial.This year's holy birthday, I really paid for it: a palm-sized green jadeite, a Buddhist scripture printed with movable type, and a proposal to simplify the font.

In terms of selfishness, simplified characters are my ultimate goal, but they are also the most difficult to achieve.In order to show innovation, my mother has conjured up more than 99 new characters since she came to the throne, or forcibly changed them, but that is only a very small part.Although there are not many characters I propose to change, there are [-] of them, covering the most commonly used colloquial characters at present. In addition to characters, I also propose to use Arabic numerals—of course, these are not called Arabic numerals now, but "Golden Wheel Treasure Number".

On the day when the memorial was presented, a distinguished guest came to Lichun Terrace—Wan'er walked into my palace with two servants, and came to visit my illness on behalf of the emperor.

Although I was "sick", I hurriedly greeted them out. When I saw someone else at the door, I remembered that I should cough twice. Wan'er took a look at me, then set her eyes on A Huan beside me, and then looked at me : "Your Majesty has read the princess' memorabilia, and ordered me to ask the princess some questions."

A Huan tactfully bowed and retreated, leaving only Wan'er, me, and her servants in the hall.I was already on my knees to listen to the hadith respectfully, but Wan'er was not in a hurry to proclaim, she just helped me up: "It's not proclaiming, it's just a normal question, no need to be polite." She motioned me to sit down with her, pointing to the left and right The man said with a smile: "They are all close servants in Zhenguan Hall, and they are deeply trusted by His Majesty. If you and I talk, they can serve refreshments."

I knew it in my heart, Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea for Wan'er, and one of the two poured tea for me, we drank each other, and after a few gossips, Wan'er leisurely spoke to the main topic: "Princess today Shangshu, please change the text, there are 99 words listed, but I don’t know how the princess thought of changing these words?”

I smiled and said: "Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, because the craftsmen, servants, and accountants in my mansion all need to be proficient in writing and ink, but they are not deep enough, so they often use other characters when writing. They are not the only ones who use these characters. Outsiders also use them, even when writing government documents. Some characters are the same after simplification, and some have their own versions, which makes a lot of jokes. So I think, Instead of asking them to continue to learn it based on rumours, and each change it to be plausible, it is better to directly come up with a unified simplified character, which is only used as an industrial and commercial document." The last sentence is very important.Although Li Rui is not in the right position yet, the courtiers are uneasy, so naturally they have no time to take care of me, but my mother will not be willing to make troubles blindly at such a time, so my action must be gentle, and it is absolutely necessary to start with Baigong and businessmen A good way - most of them do not know how to read characters at all, and many of these simplified vulgar characters originated from them. It is the easiest way to start from here, and to distinguish the current regular characters from the simplified characters , the scholars would not feel threatened - after all, reading and writing is their privilege.

Wan'er looked at me with a smile and said, "If it is to be used as a document, maybe 99 characters are not enough?"

I smiled and said: "These 99 characters are the most critical and commonly used characters. All workers and merchants in the world should learn them so that they can recognize and write them themselves. As for other characters, they may be willing to learn them by themselves, or they may not be willing." It's all up to them to learn." Seeing Wan'er opened her eyes, she seemed suspicious, and she smiled and took out a stack of papers from the side: "Please look."

It was the first batch of engraving and printing products, a large stack of identical blank documents, the prototype of the document was obtained from Liu Houde, who is now in charge of the largest state-owned enterprise group in the world, with many conflicts of interest , also raised many people, dedicated to dealing with all levels of government and businessmen, the written documents were leak-free, and thoughtful in all aspects.Ink and pigments in this era are not cheap. Engraving is a new technology. Things printed in batches have uneven handwriting, paste, and gaps. As a book, there is still room for improvement. As a one-off document, newspaper, periodical, If it is copied, there is more than enough.

Wan'er picked up a document, glanced at it, and then understood, pointing to the blank space and said: "They don't need to know all the words, as long as they remember the most important parts, fill in the document with a uniform format But—but in this case, they still have to find someone to read it, so what does it matter if they have learned it or not?”

I laughed: "Of course it has something to do with it. Although the world's business affairs are complicated, when they are implemented, in fact, the general disputes are roughly the same, such as buying and selling, such as lending, such as keeping accounts. If we think about everything first, All contract sales must use a unified document, the government, the buyer, and the seller, and one of the three parties is a copy, which is mutual evidence. The terms are open and the rules are clear. Buying and selling by force, coaxing and defrauding. Moreover, the engraving blocks are uniformly distributed by the imperial court, and they can be printed immediately, and all documents do not need to be handled by government officials, which saves a lot of trouble—and it is not expensive.”

Wan'er stared at me: "So, the princess's plan is far more than 'simplified characters'? For example, jadeite and Buddhist scriptures are all real objects that are known to be invaluable. It seems strange to compare 'simplified characters' with these two things." OK?"

I laughed and said, "Master Shangguan thinks that the first two things I presented are purely rare items for Mrs. Bo's favor?"

Wan'er leaned forward pretendingly, and said calmly: "I would like to hear the details."

I glanced at the two servants kneeling on the ground, drank a sip of tea, and said with a slight smile: "Emerald is a product, and the mine of emerald is discovered because of the right location; Buddhist scriptures are scriptures, and the broadcastable scriptures were discovered at this time." The engraving technique is in accordance with the time of the day; all things are made by all kinds of workers, merchants can reach all directions, farmers cultivate food, and promote the people to settle their own industries, and provide convenience for small workers, small merchants, and farmers who have neither knowledge nor power. To reduce the number of times they are exploited by the government and deceived by thieves is to conform to the harmony of people. Although my offerings are only three inconspicuous things, they represent the timing, location, and harmony of people under A Niang's rule. Such Isn't something worthy of being a birthday gift?" I didn't make this up, it was made up for me by Pei Lansheng and Cui Mingde, those two women wrote the whole "Fu of Three Talents" —and burn it up again.

Wan'er slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you just write it out in the birthday memorial?"

I smiled at her: "The right time and place have been obtained, but Renhe still relies on His Majesty's holy judgment, so I didn't write it." Thinking that this round of cross-examination should be over, Wan'er asked a question that was a little bit over the top: "What if The matter of simplified characters is feasible, the princess thinks, who should implement it?"

I looked at her slowly, and saw that there was a little flamboyance between her brows, and she was completely different from her previous cautiousness: "Your Majesty uses the Wu family to carry out the revolution, so I should use the Wu family to carry out the revolution."

This is the fourth birthday gift.
