The Regent Just Wants To Farm [Transmigration Book]

The regent is a big fool.

There is a breeze in the gazebo, the fragrance of tea is wafting, surrounded by flowers and butterflies, Yanyun River and Su Mo are sitting opposite each other, but what they are talking about has nothing to do with the wind and flowers.

"Why did Mr. Su say that?" Yan Yunhe asked, he didn't understand, but just wanted to hear more about Su Mo's thoughts.

Su Mo said: "I had a companion when I was a child, and we started to learn to read at the same time. When I was familiar with the Thousand Characters, he hadn't learned half of it, and sometimes he learned the front and forgot the back. Wealthy families and ordinary families cannot afford such untalented children, so they went home and learned how to farm with their parents."

"I met him later, and he seemed to be much more relaxed after dropping out of school. For him, learning to read and write is just a burden, and he himself is not willing to learn."

Yan Yunhe said: "But this is just an example, do you think that everyone in the world is like this?"

Su Mo said: "Of course not, but most of the people in this world are mediocre people. These people can still study in wealthy families. If they are just ordinary farmers, then it is better not to study, and to study reluctantly. It will only drag down the family , and finally achieve nothing, I have seen many people like this."

He went on to talk about the cost of reading, and the peasants can't even afford an ink stick after a busy year, so why study?

Yan Yunhe picked up the teacup in his hand, looked at it carefully and said: "Sir, this teacup is the best Ru porcelain, right?"

Su Mo didn't know why his topic suddenly jumped here, "My lord has good eyesight, this is a birthday gift from one of my disciples."

"Then if this Ru porcelain is replaced with coarse porcelain, will it affect the taste of this tea?" Yan Yunhe asked again.

"Of course not." Su Mo replied, staring at the teacup in front of him.

"It can be seen that the quality of porcelain has no effect on the quality of tea, and the same is true for people. As long as they can educate the people, writing tools are second. Why don't we reduce the cost and difficulty of learning so that everyone has the opportunity to read Start to read and learn to read. Individual talents are different, but we cannot deny everything because of individuals. The real way of enlightenment is that people can learn as they want, and we are just providing an opportunity.” Until this time, Yan Yun Only then did He reveal the purpose of his trip.

Su Mo sighed, he didn't pay attention to the word "we" in Yan Yunhe's words, and was brought into the same camp by Yan Yunhe unconsciously, "It's so difficult to reduce the cost, let alone reduce the difficulty of learning."

Yan Yunhe said: "I have some ideas, and I want Mr. Su to give me some details."

"My lord, please speak."

Yan Yunhe poured some tea on the tea table, and using his hand as a pen, slowly wrote a few lines of words, "Mr. Su, look at the words on it, maybe you can read it?"

Su Mo took a closer look and saw that most of the words on it were incomplete, but after reading it, he could also recognize [-]% of these characters.

The little disciple also turned his head to look, "Huh? I seem to understand it. The word "say" is not written in this way, it should be written in this way. "

While he was talking and gesticulating, Su Mo on the side could see the magic. These words had obviously been perfected, and it was impossible for him to think of them in a short time. Want to make words?"

Yan Yunhe shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I easily create characters that are comparable to the characters that have evolved over thousands of years, sir, you should be able to see that some of the characters on the paper are evolved from cursive script , some in regular script."

"Since the appearance of writing, through oracle bone inscriptions to seal script, official script, cursive script, running script, and regular script, it has been a process from complex to simple. At this time, folk characters have also appeared in folk style. I just want to follow this trend and make the simplified The spread of fonts among the people reduces the difficulty of literacy."

Su Mo stroked his beard, "My lord's idea is good, but have you ever thought that literacy in the world is mostly for fame, and how people who have learned these simplified characters will get fame in the future."

Yan Yunhe laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Sir, you are joking, I am clearly talking to you about the way of enlightenment, so what is it about fame and official career?"

Su Mo also said with a smile: "I'm not kidding, I'm afraid that the imperial court will not recognize this simplified character, and if you learn it, you won't be able to be an official, and the people just don't want to learn it."

People in the world are so utilitarian that they can only watch it for a while. Yan Yunhe's idea certainly lowers the learning threshold, but it is not profitable and requires effort.

Yan Yunhe said: "Mr.'s worry is not unreasonable, so I am going to create a school by myself and teach in simplified characters. After the students complete their studies, I will provide jobs for these students. As long as there is money to be made, I believe that people are still willing to enroll. I I have tried it, and if I recognize simplified characters, I can also easily recognize traditional characters. Although there are differences between the two, they are also similar."

Of course, his attempt is based on the result of the current promotion of simplified characters, so it is not wrong at this time.

Su Mo didn't ask Yan Yunhe what kind of work he wanted to provide, he tapped the paper on the tea table with simplified characters, "Then how can the prince reduce the cost?"

Yan Yunhe said: "Nowadays, the four treasures of pen, ink, paper and inkstone are needed for literacy and calligraphy, but in my opinion, only pen and paper are enough."

"Why?" How can you write without ink?

"Writing is to leave marks on the paper." Yan Yunhe picked up the paper, "This is how people can see the words. As long as you find something that can replace the brush and ink, you can also leave clear marks on the paper." , but the production cost is far lower than that of pen and ink, which can reduce the cost.”

Su Mo became interested, "The prince has been found."

"That's right," Yan Yunhe smiled mysteriously, "Although it hasn't been made yet, I believe it's not far from the day when this item will be released, and I will have to comment on it when the time comes."

"If you can see this thing, it will be the luck of the old man, and the word "appreciation" should not be used. "

Su Mo lifted the teapot with one hand and poured a cup for Yan Yunhe, "After talking for a long time, the tea is going to be cold, my lord, don't dislike it."

Yan Yunhe was kind-hearted, took a sip of tea to moisten his lips, and then said: "I came here today to invite Mr. to come out of the mountain. Simplified characters are just one aspect of it."

Su Mo picked up the small cattail fan that fanned the fire and fanned it towards the stove that boiled water, "I have a couple of old friends who might be interested in this simplified Chinese character, but I'm afraid there are too many old men who are idlers and can't help the prince."

This was a blatant refusal, and Yan Yunhe was not in a hurry, "Sir, it's not too late to make a statement after listening to me. I said simplified characters are only one aspect, because there are two other things that are also related to this enlightenment."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Su Mo put down the cattail fan again.

Yan Yunhedao: "I know that when most people learn characters, they will make phonetic notation for new characters they don't know, but because of different personal habits, the phonetic symbols are messy, and there is no uniform standard, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhuyin."

"This is one, two, it is a major event that benefits the country and the people - compiling a dictionary."

As far as phonetic symbols are concerned, Su Mo himself can still work hard, but the matter of dictionaries has always been a matter presided over by the imperial court, and it is definitely not something that can be done by one person.

"I already have the "Zhaowen Dictionary", the prince thinks this dictionary is not usable?" Su Mo frowned.

Yan Yunhe shook his head, "Although the "Zhaowen Dictionary" is good, it is not the dictionary in my heart, it is more like the annotations of classics, and the dictionary I agree with is that you can look up words by phonetics, and look up phonetics by words. A dictionary that anyone can easily use to find the meaning of words."

"Everyone?" Su Mo murmured.

Yan Yunhe said affirmatively: "Everyone! There is no distinction between knowledge and knowledge, so everyone has the right to read and write. This is a major event left in history. I don't know who I can entrust it to. Only Mr.'s moral character is what I admire. To convince everyone, this must be done by Mr.

Although Yan Yunhe didn't know Su Mo at all before, but after hearing about his deeds of not being afraid of the powerful, and chatting with him again, he can still see a thing or two about his character.

Of course, these things don’t have to be done by one person, other people can’t do it, Yan Yunhe’s words are just to say good things first, to make a picture of Su Mo, to be able to fool one by one, if he does it, he can still give up halfway ?If he doesn't want to do it, Yan Yunhe will go find someone else.

What's more, how can a bachelor like Su Mo not have a few big friends?Grasping this one is equivalent to catching a group of people, and it is worth Yan Yunhe's efforts to make friends.

Su Mo fell into deep thought, sometimes frowning, sometimes the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and finally got up and paced back and forth outside the pavilion, as if hesitating.

Instead, Yanyunhe relaxed, picked up the teacup, watched the flowers outside the pavilion, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in early summer.

The little disciple looked at his teacher, and then at the regent in front of him. He didn't quite understand what happened to these two adults. The teacher was obviously very relaxed before.

Su Mo was originally a person with a firm personality, and he made up his mind in a short while. He returned to the tea table and sat down with a firm yet relaxed expression, "Let me tell you first, the old man doesn't care about court affairs."

Yan Yunhe's eyes were also full of determination, "I don't care about the court affairs, as long as I can do a good job in literacy in this life, I will be satisfied."

"A matter of literacy?"

"To be illiterate is to be blind, and to be illiterate is to be blind. I only hope that there will be no more blind people in my lifetime."

"Okay! Good literacy, add me to this matter!"

There are many things Yan Yunhe wants to do, of course, not only literacy, in his mind, agriculture is the most important thing, and the rest will be done when he is full.

But when doing one thing, it is not enough for a lonely hero, he needs companions, so it is only at this time that he needs to prepare for future education, lest no one is available for subsequent development.

What's more, this matter is not a one-time achievement. If you don't make preparations at this time, you will inevitably be stretched in the future.

It's just that in order to express the importance I attach to this matter, I can't help but use some exaggerated rhetorical techniques.

Now the results are remarkable, Su Mo has agreed to join his team, this is the result he wants.

He held up the teacup and respectfully said: "With the help of my husband, my way is not alone. Today I would like to make an agreement with you to carry out this educational reform together, so that you will not let him have any worries. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of the world and future generations." Sir, respect sir."

Su Mo also picked up the teacup, "The old man will also go all out to live up to your expectations. Today, I will make an appointment with you under this pavilion. The breeze and the sun will be our witnesses."

"Please!"

The two replaced wine with tea, and under the witness of the bright universe, they made an agreement that would affect future generations for thousands of years.

No matter how the history books of later generations are written, they can't describe such a picture scroll. Only people at that time can understand the events of the world.

Only the young disciples who also witnessed the covenant under the pavilion, after undergoing the subsequent educational reforms, can truly understand how the three-point change in the future began under this small pavilion.
