No one wants their own culture to be abolished.
Hu Jiyou took the lead, and minister Jing followed.
Chen Yong was also happy to watch the show.
No matter who wins, in Chen Yong's opinion, it is God's will.
If Zhu Ying were here, she wouldn't think so.
In the history of Annan, the word "Nam" was just a flash in the pan. In the end, it was replaced by pinyin characters without any reservation.
The current point of contention is nothing more than the promotion of Chinese characters.
The reason why Annan Nam has been popular in Annan for hundreds of years is entirely because the sovereign state of the Central Plains Dynasty had no intention of promoting culture at all.
Perhaps it can be said that among all the emperors throughout the ages, only the First Emperor truly wanted to integrate and export culture.
The rulers of the Central Plains dynasties have never had this idea.
There are so many illiterates in our own country, so who cares about your small border country?
Even some small countries use Chinese characters in Chinese because they were once under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty. Creating an independent language and writing system was not a simple matter.
In fact, including the current Goryeo, in fact, according to the course of history, it will also develop its own writing.
So now is a critical period. At this time, the popularization and promotion of Chinese characters around the world will affect the changes in the cultural pattern that may last for thousands of years in the future.
The Central Plains Dynasty was never a dynasty of national independence, but a dynasty of great unification and integration.
This is also the political task Zhu Ying gave to Liu Sheng and others before leaving.
He is not in a hurry to seize the power of Annan, but wants to subtly educate the people of Annan.
Therefore, Liu Sheng will never make any concessions on the word "Nan".
Since Chen Yong wants to watch a show, let's watch it carefully.
Immediately, Liu Sheng walked out, looked at the kneeling Hu Jiyou and said, "Prime Minister Hu needs to be clear about one thing. As the emperor just said, the Annan country has existed for thousands of years."
"And the word "Nam" only started to appear hundreds of years ago. In Annan hundreds of years ago, didn't they use writing or speak language? Communicate?"
"It doesn't matter how much a thousand years compare to a hundred years. The abolition of the Nam character and the promotion of Chinese characters are actually a return to the right path. Why should you oppose it?"
"Is it just because of my own habits that I have to follow the customs of a hundred years in vain and ignore the customs of thousands of years?"
"It is ridiculous to say that Annan's subjects cannot adapt to the abolition of the word "Nun". How did they get used to it when the word "Nun" was first implemented."
"As for the edict, I remember that Annan Yizong once ordered the promotion of Nan characters. Now, if we issue an edict to promote Chinese characters, what's the problem?"
Liu Sheng has followed Zhu Ying for many years, and he is an old man who has been living in the Western Regions.
The hooligans are not to be feared, but the hooligans are literate.
Liu Sheng, who was in his late 70s and 80s, studied and read with Zhu Ying, and had almost a lifetime of experience. He never gave up in the debate.
Hu Jiya has been working hard in the court for half his life, and naturally he will not give in to his glib tongue. ….
Immediately he stood up and defended himself: "What Liu Jianjun said is different."
"The implementation of the word "Num" is indeed not as long as the Chinese character. However, the invention of the word "Num" is also my pride, and it also represents my achievements in literature."
"Since the invention of the word "Num", there has never been any talk of forcing me, the Annan people, to learn it. It is up to me, the Annan literati, to like it on my own and learn it step by step."
"There are also many great talents who think that this is the future of our Annan. At first, it was not perfect after the emergence of the word "Nam". Generations of our Annan talents have studied and pondered it, and it is only now that it is gradually perfected and used."
"There are also many literary works written with the word "Num". Isn't this enough for me, Annan?"
"Nowadays, Chinese characters have not disappeared in Annan.
The Ming Dynasty is still my suzerainty in Annan, and correspondence is still written by Han Chinese. What big influence does the word "Nam" have in it? "
"Let me just say that although some of the words have changed with the word "Nun", Liu Jianjun should also know that even in a country as powerful as the Ming Dynasty with such a vast territory, there are still different pronunciations for ten miles and hundreds of miles. Different words."
"Liu Jianjun has been with me in Annan for more than a year. There may be some differences in words, but I think there will be no problems in daily communication."
"If that's the case, why should Supervisor Liu insist on abolishing my Annan name? Just do both in parallel. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
"As of right now, it doesn't seem to have much impact."
"Since the development of Nanzi, no great king has said that he wants to abolish Chinese characters. The current situation is completely free development."
Hu Jiya's words were immediately recognized by many Annan court officials.
They all nodded frequently, and after he finished speaking, some people couldn't help but cheer loudly. Hu Jiya was extremely powerful for a while.
As far as the current debate is concerned, the angle of Hu Jisha's speech is very tricky. It is obvious that he wants to persuade Liu Sheng from the outside and leave him with no room to refute.
Once Liu Sheng loses this debate, the edict will definitely not be issued.
Chen Yong, the Supreme Emperor of Annan, who was sitting at the top, looked at Hu Ji Yao's talk. There were no gaps in the meaning of his words, and there was a somewhat complicated meaning in his eyes.
At one time, he just felt that Hu Jisu was using himself to seize power. If the power was in his hands, he would definitely develop Annan better than him.
But just from what he said just now, Chen Yong felt a huge gap.
When Liu Sheng was speaking earlier, Chen Yong put himself on Hu Jishen's body and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
I think what Liu Sheng said makes sense.
But now that Hu Jishen said this, Chen Yong found that he was even more unable to refute. If he were Liu Sheng now, he would be speechless.
This level of rebuttal felt to Chen Yong like a dimensionality-reducing blow, a crushing blow to his IQ.
This made Chen Yong twist his body and feel a little uncomfortable.
Then he followed his gaze and looked at Liu Sheng to see what else he had to say.
However, Liu Sheng's expression clearly told him that he not only had something to say, but also had a lot to say. ….
After the palace was quiet, Liu Sheng said calmly: "What Mr. Hu said makes some sense."
"I think Hu Xiang himself must have studied the word "Nam" for many years and has quite a lot of attainments."
After hearing this question, Hu Jisao had nothing to deny, and immediately said: "That's natural."
Liu Sheng continued: "Not only Prime Minister Hu, but also the officials in this palace, large and small, should be very familiar with the word "Nan" and have even started learning it since childhood."
"I'm afraid some officials have not only studied the word "Nun" very hard, but they haven't even studied how to write Chinese characters very seriously. There are always people in Annan who know Chinese characters. This has no big impact on the Ming Dynasty."
"Among Annan's subjects, how many have learned Chinese characters since childhood? I think you all know this very well."
This is not Liu Sheng's nonsense, but a real conclusion gained after a year of observation.
The current imperial examination in Annan uses the Nom character as the basic script. Naturally, scholars in Annan cannot say that they specially learn Chinese characters, which has no significance for their own career.
That is to say, the royal family has some reservations about this, and even the text is written in the word "num".
It can be said that the whole of Annan is basically learning the Nom character now, and the learning of Chinese characters is just a branch.
There is no use for it at ordinary times.
In a single round, these words alone cannot effectively refute the words of Fang Cai Hu Jiya.
Liu Sheng continued: "I ask you all to think about why His Majesty, the First Emperor, had cars on the same track and books on the same page. This was not to annihilate people."
Instead of destroying each school's learning, it allows everyone to communicate and communicate more conveniently. "
"Now that the Ming Sea Ban has been lifted, the era of sea trade is coming. Here in Annan, the port must not only restore its former prosperity, but it is even more likely to surpass its former glory."
"In this sea trade, you should also know that now I, His Highness the Great Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, promote sea trade, build sea-going ships, and allow civilian use. In the years to come, it will be me, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, who will travel all over the world."
"Subjects of Annan, if you want to do business with my merchants from the Ming Dynasty, is it easier to communicate directly or to find an interpreter from everywhere?"
"In terms of navigation, not only Annan, but also Champa. In terms of sea trade, the passage from Champa is more convenient than Annan."
"Everyone knows that the development of Champa as a country is strong. Its origin lies in our dynasty in the Central Plains. During the pre-Tang Dynasty, all nations came to the Tang Dynasty. With the help of this atmosphere, Champa was able to develop rapidly."
"Now that a new era is coming, Annan does not have any advantage over Champa in terms of competition for development. Now even the language is not fluent. You think this is what I, the Ming Dynasty businessman, have to choose."
"The battle to occupy Annan has been going on for a long time. If we fall behind because of this, would you be willing to do so? Maybe this is not a matter of more than a few years or ten years."
"Perhaps you feel that what happens in a few decades has nothing to do with you. Don't you have any descendants? Shouldn't you think about your descendants?"
At this point, Liu Sheng paused for a moment and then said: "The reason why I advocated the abolition of the word "Num" is actually because Annan's national conditions are different. The word "Num" itself is also a Chinese character structure. It is extremely simple and not difficult for Annan to learn Chinese characters. study."….
"From the perspective of the change of the character "Nam", it is actually a change of Chinese characters. For Annan, this change does not actually mean much."
"If it is not abolished, how many years will it take for Annan to implement it until all subjects use Chinese characters?"
"How competitive will Champa be in the future?"
"Let's talk about the word "Nan". Does it really have any benefits for Annan? Does it make Annan more prosperous, or does it make Annan have better weather and more food?"
"Is external communication more convenient or more troublesome?"
"You have been learning the word "Nan" since you were born, so you don't think it has anything to do with it. But think about it from the bottom of your heart, what the word "Nan" has brought to Annan."
"Let me tell you something that you don't like to hear. The land of Annan is not even comparable to the slightly larger capitals of the Ming Dynasty, but it still practices a special kind of writing."
"This is a restraint on oneself, a restraint on the future, and it puts a layer of shackles on everyone."
"Now only by completely breaking this shackles can Annan usher in stronger development."
"Perhaps you don't feel anything, but I know very clearly that with the popularity of my Ming Dynasty capital's residence newspaper in the world, now outside, you only need to know Chinese characters to get a job as a translator."
"Let's just say that the families of the ministers in Annan currently have scholars who can read Chinese characters and are able to obtain the capital's residence newspaper."
"This expense should be considered quite large."
"In the future, the popularity of Chinese characters will inevitably expand to more countries, and the understanding of Chinese characters will definitely be the mainstream in the future. At this time, Annan chooses to rest on his laurels and draw a line as a prison. What's the point?"
After saying this, Hu Ji Yao frowned, and his eyes were thoughtful and thoughtful.
Liu Sheng's point is not at all based on Hu Jiyou's direction.
To put it simply, you talk to me about national independence sentiments, and I talk to you about the development of the international situation.
You talk to me about literature, and I talk to you about practicality.
Among them, pulling out Champa to provoke conflicts can greatly stimulate the Annan court officials, including Chen Yong.
What benefits did the word "Nan" bring to Annan?
On this point alone, according to Liu Sheng's ideas and from a practical direction, it is completely
It's a question that there's no way to answer.
At this time, Hu Jisao was not speechless, but was indeed moved by Liu Sheng's words about the future development.
The well-informed Hu Jiyou is not a stubborn person, otherwise he would not be able to claim his current position of power.
Although he was greedy for power, he really wanted Annan to develop better.
Hu Jishen actually knew a lot of what Liu Sheng said, and he also had his own sources of intelligence.
The current meditation is really considering whether the word "Num" really needs to be abolished.
In fact, this does not matter much to Hu Jiyou himself, because he himself is very knowledgeable. Not only does he know Chinese characters very well, but he also has a large collection of Central Plains books at home.
There is not much difference between using the word "Num" and using Chinese characters.
Because too many literary classics are written in Chinese characters.
Chen Yong leaned back on his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, I was still thinking that Hu Jiyou's words were very reasonable, but now I feel that what Liu Sheng said is the true embodiment.
Although he didn't speak, he felt a little embarrassed.
He felt like he was just a wallflower, thinking that whoever spoke was right.
When he turned his eyes to Hu Jiyou, he saw that his face no longer had the previous calmness, which made him a little confused.
He not only agreed with Liu Sheng's words, but also hoped that Hu Jisao could tell more truth. .
