Yan Yan smiled lightly when he heard this.

How could he not know the little calculation in the tax ID's mind?

"Yayin, have you heard of it?" Strictly smiled and asked instead of answering.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Yayin is the language used only in the capital, and it is the purest pronunciation of the Song Dynasty.

Sichuan pronunciation can only be said to be a local pronunciation, mainly used in Sichuan and other places.

In front of Yayin, Sichuan Yin can only be said to be a small witch.

"Do you know that this "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" is designed based on Sichuan accent. How can those who are not Sichuan accent use this book?" Seeing the expressions of the three people, Yan Yan continued to ask.

The tax ID's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and his heart sank as if a stone was tied to it.

The other party neutralized all his attacks with just a simple sentence.

Zhang Liang felt like his eyes were popping out, and his chin hit his feet.

Huang Dong's brain had lost the ability to direct his actions. He stood there motionless like a tree, staring blankly at the advancing Strictly.

Zhang Liang swallowed hard and asked dryly: "Master, isn't there Yayin's "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary"?"

"The little saint is just a native of Changzhou and doesn't understand elegant dialects." Yan Yan shook his head and took a breath, "Besides, there are tens of thousands of dialects in the entire Song Dynasty, how can this be enough?"

"Three establishments: establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing reputation." Huang Dong thought for a while and sighed heavily: "The little saint has done it all. The little saint can write The publication of "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" is already a great achievement, so there is no need to be too demanding."

Establishing moral integrity, meritorious service, and establishing reputation are the highest pursuits of literati in the Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan was the only one in the entire Song Dynasty who could achieve these three things.

No scholar or king before the Song Dynasty could do it, including Confucius.

Although the Song Dynasty now only has a history of more than 200 years, which is not as long as the previous China for thousands of years, it already has two saints.

When the tax officer heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He almost jumped out and asked immediately: "Three Lis? If the little saint wrote "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" and "Three Character Classic" and Liyan did it, where are the other two Lis?" "

"In your name, does a little sage make a statement? Think about it, the little sage regained Chengdu and Xi County. Isn't this a meritorious service? The little sage established Zhaojiazhuang schools everywhere. He didn't take a penny to study and even gave out scholarships. Isn't this a virtue? "Zhang Liang glanced at the tax number with disdain, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Upon hearing this, the tax officer was immediately speechless, unable to refute at all.

Zhang Liang saluted Chengdu and said in an extremely admiring tone: "Compared with Wen Zhenggong, the Little Saint is even worse. For meritorious service, Wen Zhenggong only defended the northwest and did not take back his homeland. The Little Saint took back Chengdu and Xixian. Li Virtue, Wen Zhenggong only helped his clansmen, while the little sage helped the people of the Song Dynasty who had nothing to do with him. Li said that Wen Zhenggong only put the world's worries first and then the world's happiness in "Yueyang Tower", while the little sage had "The Unity of All Things" "On", "War Policy", "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary", etc."

When the tax officer heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he turned to stone, like a statue.

I originally thought that the Little Sage could only fulfill his promise, but I did not expect that even though he was young, he could do all three, and even better than Wen Zhenggong. No wonder he was able to establish the Little Sage.

Thinking of this, he swallowed hard, bowed to Strictly, and said with great solemnity: "Student, please humble me to Master. The little saint has indeed accomplished the three things of morality, meritorious service, and words."

"Those who don't know are not to blame." Yan Yan drank tea while Yun Danfeng waved his hands lightly.

Huang Dong sighed and suddenly realized: "Master, students understand, so many people enter the school to study, and there are precious books such as "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" and "Pinyin Three-Character Classic". They can also intern at the convenience service place, and even study at night. , natural talents emerge in large numbers.”

Yan Yan nodded slightly, then looked at each other with Qian Shao, stroking his beard and drinking tea.

The tax number hesitated for a few times, but finally bowed to Strictly: "Tell me, Master, the Yayin version of "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" is not impossible!"

"Why, Zi Ming is interested in this?" Strictly worried that the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" could only be used internally. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and looked at the tax number with bright eyes.

Hearing the strict look, the tax officer was a little surprised.

This is an opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you may miss it for life.

He swallowed hard, bowed his hands bravely and said, "The student went out ten years ago and traveled in the capital for two years. He knows a little about Yayin."

"Two years of travel is too short." Yan Yan was originally happy, but when he heard this, he felt as if someone had poured cold water on him, and his face suddenly darkened.

Money is not a problem at all in Zhaojiazhuang, the key now is the people who understand Yayin.

The tax number felt as if a stone was tied to his heart, and his heart suddenly sank.

He mustered up all his courage, bravely bowed his hands and said with fear: "Master, although I know a little about Yayin, I know some friends in the capital, and I can edit dozens of books and let them participate in annotation. "

"This is a way, but how many years do you plan to complete it?" After thinking about it strictly for a while, I felt that it was still feasible, so I simply asked the time.

"How many years?" Hearing this, the tax officer's face turned pale. After thinking for a while, he bowed his hands with difficulty and asked, "Master, may I ask how many words are there in the Zhaojiazhuang dictionary?"

"Almost twelve thousand words." Strictly flipped through the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" and then answered.

The tax ID almost sat down on the ground after hearing so many words.

He hurriedly supported the stool with his hands to prevent himself from making a fool of himself.

He thought for a while and bowed with difficulty: "Tell me, Master, the student plans to do it in three years, no, it will take five years."

After saying this, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It took him five years just to do a marking job.

The Little Sage was a comprehensive compilation and took less than half a year to complete. As expected, there is no harm without comparison. This is indeed the difference between saints and mortals.

In fact, the tax ID number also has its own little calculations. He has already seen the huge influence of this "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary".

If the "Four Books and Five Classics" were the first in history, then the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" was the first for ordinary people to become literate.

Although "Shuowen Jiezi" took the lead in literacy and pronunciation, compared with "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary", it was not only obscure and difficult to understand, but also very limited.

Although the tax number did not participate in the compilation, it can be marked and leave a mark in history.

He is already in his thirties and has been elected three times.

Although he has obtained the qualification of Tongjinshi, the imperial court now takes a very close look at Tongjinshi.

He originally placed his hopes on the Changyuan County exam, but he didn't expect that he would be squeezed out of the top ten by students from Zhaojiazhuang Academy.

Well now, if his name is left in the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary", he can definitely become a fellow Jinshi.

Although this opportunity to gain both fame and fortune is a bit difficult, it is a very rare opportunity and cannot be wasted.

The tax officer bowed respectfully to Strictly: "Master, can I let students borrow this "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary"?"

As soon as he saw this "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary", he almost included all the definitions and pronunciations of commonly used words, and he wanted to keep it as his own.

However, this dictionary belonged to the mountain chief, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of marking it to see if he could borrow it.

"You are the annotator of the Yayin version of the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary", please take it and read it." Yan Yan was generous and gave him this priceless treasure directly.

The tax officer was overjoyed when he heard this, and his face was filled with radiance. Now he is half the owner of "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary".

He couldn't wait to put the book into his sleeve, and even gave Zhang and the two a provocative look.

Originally, as a literati, he didn't have to be so pretentious.

But his ranking of 29th was squeezed out by Zhang He. He lost all face and felt very uncomfortable.

Now that I finally have the opportunity, I naturally want to show off.

After hearing this and seeing the actions of the tax ID, Zhang Liang and Huang Dong turned pale, showing envy and even jealousy.

With this tool of literacy, the two of them can take their poetry and writing to the next level, no, even to the third level.

"Shuowen Jiezi" can only provide one interpretation, but now "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" contains several or even more than a dozen interpretations, making it even more priceless among priceless treasures.

It's a pity that neither of them can participate in the elegant pronunciation work of "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary".

Zhang He looked livid, smiled bitterly and said to Wu Yi: "We also want to participate in phonetic notation, but we don't know Yayin."

"It's just that we have never traveled to the capital, so we don't know how to speak elegantly." Wu Yi smiled awkwardly, and his smile was uglier than crying.

Change the source app and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

The two of them were originally men of letters and would not be so out of character normally.

But "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" was so powerful that they immediately lost their composure.

Yan Yan saw the expressions of Zhang and the two of them and said lightly to Zhang and the two: "Zhaojiazhuang Academy has the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" and you can borrow it at any time."

He looked at the two of them as if he were holding a lollipop to two children.

He has already released the bait, and it remains to be seen whether the two big fish will take the bait.

"Thank you, Master. We were thinking of visiting Zhaojiazhuang Academy." Zhang He and Huang Dong were overjoyed and bowed respectfully to Yan Yan.

While returning the gift, Yan Yan picked up the tea cup, slowly blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip of tea.

At this time, while the tax number was drinking tea, he took out the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" from his sleeve and started to read it.

He began to put the dictionary inside his sleeve, just to show off to Zhang and the two of them.

Now that sovereignty has been determined, take this opportunity to study it carefully.

He was so deep that sometimes although he was holding the tea cup, sometimes he even forgot to put it down.

Zhang and the two were extremely embarrassed. They were extremely conflicted. They wanted to read the contents of the dictionary but were embarrassed at the same time.

But after much hesitation, Zhang and the two of them still shamelessly came to the tax ID and followed the "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary" with all their attention.

The two of them were a little worried that the tax ID number would not be allowed to them, but they found that the tax ID number was looking at the dictionary with gusto, as if they had not seen them.

The tax ID had just achieved its goal by showing off, so naturally they would not be expelled.

After solving the Yayin version of "Zhaojiazhuang Dictionary", Yan Yan was happy for a while.

However, Qian Shao pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Zisu (strict character), can you guarantee that they all stay?"

"Zicheng (characterized by Qian Shao), haven't you seen that even the most picky tax number has been left behind?" He took a strict look at the tax number and said calmly.

Qian Shao thought for a while and then said quietly: "This time is different from before, but it is extremely difficult to get them to Tubo."

After saying that, his two long eyebrows locked together tightly, and the space between his eyebrows turned into a very prominent "Sichuan" character.

"There are almost five thousand students here. As long as 20% are willing, we can almost achieve our goal." Strictly waved his hand, obviously not as worried as Qian Shao, "Tubo only has more than 30 counties."

After Zhao Ping unified Tubo, he told a few teachers and caring people such as Yuan Tao, Qian Shao, and Yan Yan, but not others.

Now the relationship between Zhao Ping and the Song Dynasty is very delicate. On the one hand, the Song Dynasty needs Zhao Ping to resist the Hu people, on the other hand, it is also wary of Zhao Ping's strength.

Therefore, although Zhao Ping unified Qingtang Tubo, few people knew about it.

After Zhao Ping unified Tibet in Qingtang, new problems emerged.

Qingcheng Tubo had a total of forty counties, but most of these counties did not have officials such as county magistrates, county magistrates, county captains, and chief registrars.

Zhao Ping thought about it and realized that Sichuan has a lot of talents and can transport a lot of talents.

Zhao Ping is very thirsty for talents now, and he hopes that more than 30 counties will be able to operate normally immediately.

Qingtang Tubo was about the same area as Qinghai in later generations.

Although the territory is vast, the population is sparse.

What is more scarce than the population is the scarcity of Han people.

What is more scarce than the Han people is the scarcity of officials.

In fact, it is not that there are no officials, but qualified officials are scarce.

It happened that Changyuan County was currently holding the scholar examination, and Zhao Ping set his sights here.

The first government school that Zhao Ping attended was the Changyuan County School. Yuan Tao, Qian Shao, and Yan Yan were all his teachers.

After Zhao Ping left, he recommended them to the magistrate of Changyuan County, the county magistrate of Zhaojiazhuang Town, and the mountain chief of Zhaojiazhuang School through connections.

If Zhao Ping doesn't believe them, who else should he believe?

Seeing Yan Yan's disapproval, Qian Shao shook his head and expressed his thoughts: "Although there are the most candidates this time, there are some good ones and some bad ones. When we work for the little saint, we should act on the principle of choosing what is lacking rather than what is indiscriminate."

"Zicheng, this is a bit difficult. Even if we like it, these students may not be willing to go to the bitter cold land of Tubo, and they can't let the Song Dynasty know about it." Strictly said this with a wry smile on his face, "Difficult, difficult, Disaster."

Qian Shao raised his hands to the sky and said with great solemnity: "The Tubo was the life and death enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, and even attacked the capital of Chang'an. Now that the little saint has unified the Tubo in Qingtang, his success and benefit are in the contemporary era. It’s a great plan for the ages.”

After saying that, Qian Shao looked at Yan Yan with bright eyes, hoping that he would give a definite answer.

"We need to plan this carefully and find a safe way." Strictly frowned and fell into deep thought.
