"This has been confirmed by the security group," Xi Xing said happily, "because this pinyin is indeed very fast in literacy and can increase the literacy speed by more than five times."
"But there are too few people in the security team," Yang Derong shook his head and couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. "Compared with the people in the world, they can almost be ignored."
"Although there are tens of thousands of people, I can go. That's what Xiao Langjun said, and even more so what he did." Xi Xing looked at Zhaojiazhuang with a firm gaze and said decisively.
Speaking of this, Xixing suddenly asked: "Are the literati more important, or the common people of the Song Dynasty?"
"This is indeed a difficult question, a difficult question to choose." Yang Derong pondered for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Although there are many people, they are not as good as some literati."
"The literati control the world's public opinion and influence the direction of the court." Xi Xing sighed and said, "That's why Xiao Langjun wants to run a newspaper, hoping to make his own voice heard through the newspaper. Now it seems that this step is indeed the right one."
Yang Derong bowed his hand to Zhaojiazhuang to express his admiration, and at the same time expressed his concerns: "This is an unprecedented reform. The reform has not gone well since ancient times. In the past, Shang Yang's chariot broke apart, and in the later Qin Shihuang's chariot was infamy throughout the ages, and he became a tyrant of a generation, but also Even Prime Minister Wang, a generation of gentlemen, was called a villain."
"Shang Yang created the Qin Dynasty that unified the world, and Qin Shihuang's writings benefited future generations." Xi Xing also cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an and said, "So Shang Yang is great, and Qin Shihuang is the first emperor throughout the ages."
Wang Anshi’s reforms have been met with mixed praise and praise, and it’s hard to speak out about Xi Xing.
"That's true," Yang Derong nodded in agreement, then changed the topic and asked another question, "But Qin Shihuang is the emperor and Shang Yang is the prime minister. Xiaolangjun is still a student and has not yet achieved fame. How can we reform it?"
At that time, Zhao Ping was just a student in Changyuan County School, and his status was very different from that of Qin Shihuang and Shang Yang.
Yang Derong admired Zhao Ping's ambition very much, but he had no fame and no fame, and he didn't know how to promote reforms.
After saying that, he stared at Xi Xing, hoping to get the answer from here, but he was disappointed.
Xi Xing did not answer his question, but recited a poem: "Good rain knows the season, when spring will happen. Sneak into the night with the wind, moistening things silently."
Yang Derong was very angry and wanted to slap him with his hand, but as a scholar, he took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse, looking at Xi Xing.
"Xiao Langjun's identity and status determine it. He is incapable and impossible to carry out reforms from top to bottom with great fanfare." Xi Xing said with admiration, "So Xiao Langjun found his own way."
Yang Derong pondered for a long time, but could not come up with a reason. He frowned and asked: "How to find a new way?"
"How many people in the world are literate?" Xi Xing gave up another clue, which made Yang Derong angry and eager to know the answer.
In order to know the answer, Yang Derong had no choice but to follow Xi Xing's train of thought and answer his question, "This, this, I think about it, it's only 34%."
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward." Xi Xing saw Yang Derong's very anxious look and felt amused and said: "The young man just puts his hope of Pinyin literacy in the illiterate people."
"Those who are educated can read, but those who cannot read can never read." Yang Derong felt that this was very difficult. He shook his head and sighed, "Because of the family difficulties of illiterate people, they cannot study."
Xi Xing looked at him and nodded with some satisfaction: "The fact that you have this idea shows that you care about the people. But have you ever thought about whether those who have not studied don't want to study?"
"If there are those conditions, of course everyone will want to study. This is a world of great harmony." Yang Derong looked up to the sky, sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "It's just that this is so difficult."
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Xi Xing did not answer, but suddenly recited a poem by Qu Yuan.
Hearing another poem, Yang Derong was going crazy.
This person was a bit impatient, Xi Xing shook his head, he still had to work hard on cultivating his mind and character.
"The purpose of Xiaolangjun running Zhaojiazhuang School is to make more and more people literate." Xi Xing looked at him and said the answer.
Yang Derong looked at Zhaojiazhuang Academy, shook his head, and sighed: "How many students can this academy accommodate? One thousand or two thousand?"
"Of course the current capacity of this school is limited, but what about building Zhaojiazhuang School in other places?" Xixing asked rhetorically.
Yang Derong still shook his head and expressed his opinion, "Aren't you afraid of overwhelming Zhaojiazhuang by running so many schools? Even the government cannot run so many schools."
"That's why the young man wants to run so many workshops." Xi Xing looked at the Zhaojiazhuang winery, teahouse and other workshops and said with a smile.
"Young Master is saving the world." Yang Derong couldn't help but knelt down and muttered to the sky, "If it succeeds, even if it doubles the number of literate people in the Song Dynasty, its achievements will be no less than the influence of Shu Tongwen. "
"Exactly, you and Yu are also lucky enough to participate in it. I wonder if you are willing?" Xi Xing looked at him and asked with bright eyes while helping him up.
Yang Derong did not get up, but kowtowed respectfully to the sky and replied decisively: "You have your wishes, how dare you disobey me?"
"In this way, as long as you do this well, your reputation will be passed down through the ages." Xi Xing saw that he was still kneeling on the ground, and he also knelt down and kowtowed to the sky.
The two reached a consensus, and their mood immediately relaxed. They helped each other up, looked at each other, and laughed together.
After Xi Xing smiled, he took out a book-like object from his arms and handed it to Yang Derong solemnly.
""Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary"?" Yang Derong opened it and asked, somewhat confused, "What does this mean?"
Xi Xing looked him over and asked, "Do you know Ziyu's "Shuowen Jiezi"?"
"Of course I know this. It is a classic from the originator of literacy." Yang Derong commented.
"Of course," Xi Xing nodded, then changed the topic, "Unfortunately, its definition is incomplete, there are no examples, and it still uses cut sounds."
"It's true. Reading too much can make you dizzy and you can't always understand it thoroughly." Yang Derong nodded, feeling the same way. He looked at the dictionary in his hand and asked, "This?"
"This one is based on Sichuan pronunciation, and the examples of interpretations are very complete." Xi Xing pointed to the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" and said, "It can be said that it is the best literacy tool in the world, and its effect is far better than that of "Shuowen Jiezi". "
"Really, I'll take a good look at it." After Yang Derong finished speaking, he arranged his clothes, washed his face and burned incense before respectfully opening the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary".
Yang Derong was stunned as he opened the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary".
The number of words in "Shuowen Jiezi" and "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" is similar, one is more than 9,000 and the other is 10,000.
However, the thickness of "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" is almost five times that of "Shuowen Jiezi", which means that the interpretation is almost five times that of "Shuowen Jiezi".
Not only does the meaning double, but the retrieval is very convenient. The retrieval of pinyin, radicals, strokes, Cangjie, four-corner numbers, etc. is almost five times faster than his.
Yang Derong shed tears while watching.
Xi Xing was puzzled and asked, "You think about something sad and you actually shed tears?"
"I am stupid and lacking in innate qualifications. I don't seek deep understanding in reading. My articles often do not convey the meaning. It is natural that I will not pass the examination." When Yang Derong said this, he burst into tears.
Xi Xing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him and saying, "You are young, why do you care about this?"
"You don't have to care about Shining, because you are already a Juren." After Yang Derong finished speaking, he wiped his tears again, and his words became confused. He repeatedly emphasized, "Of course I care, I care very much. You are about the same age as me, and I am already a Juren. I hate it so much.”
Later, he became more and more sad and couldn't help but use Xi Xing's sleeves as his sleeves to wipe his tears.
Although Xi Xing felt sorry for his clothes, he forgave his classmate because he was so sad.
Yang Derong cried for a while, felt better, and stopped crying.
"What's hateful is, why did this "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" only come out now?" Yang Derong kept beating his chest, shouting to the sky, "If the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" came out earlier, I would have a deeper understanding of the text of the article, how could I be promoted? Hopeless?"
Seeing Yang Derong's sad look, Xi Xing felt the same way and nodded.
"Ziyu, isn't this "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" prepared just for you?" Xi Xing patted Yang Derong on the shoulder, pointed to the dictionary in his hand, and said, "Ziyu will definitely have a chance in the national examination soon."
"Why is such a sharp weapon that benefits the country and the people not printed out to benefit the people all over the world?" Yang Derong asked in confusion while putting it away respectfully.
It has to be said that the literati of the Song Dynasty, who cultivated themselves, managed their families, governed the country and brought peace to the world, could think of great events in the world as soon as they saw that they had a little hope.
"You and I can accept it, and the people of the world can accept it," Xi Xing shook his head and sighed, "But can those literati accept it?"
Yang Derong couldn't help shouting that it was a pity, shook his head and looked up to the sky and lamented: "The thing that brought great blessings to the world is regarded as a scourge by the literati. How sad! Sad!"
"So Xiao Langjun said that this matter can only "spring breeze turn into rain, moisturizing things silently"" Xi Xing thought for a while and said, "When Zhaojiazhuang Academy has a lot of effects, there are always some literati who slowly accept it."
"That's all." Yang Derong nodded, suddenly bowed to Xi Xing, and made a request, "I want to enter Zhaojiazhuang Academy, is it okay?"
Xi Xing looked him over and asked, "Do you want to become a master in the school?"
"I am not a good scholar, so how can I be a master? This will mislead my disciples." Yang Derong shook his head in embarrassment and expressed his inner thoughts, "I want to be a student."
"This is inappropriate." Xi Xing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The students inside are either boys or teenagers. You are an adult, how can you sit with them."
"What should I do? I want to calm down, study hard, and try to pass the exam this time." Yang Derong looked at Xi Xing with bright eyes, hoping that he would come up with a sound idea.
