"Traitor!"
"Get out!"
"Liu Zheng, the great thief of the country!"
"Give me back the glory of Dragon Flame!"
The loss of the Wusu area caused the entire public opinion of Long Yan to explode.
Whenever Liu Zheng goes out, he is greeted by sounds like this all over the streets.
then……
It’s rotten vegetables, leaves, and rotten eggs again.
Fortunately, Duqi protected him, and Liu Zheng didn't bother to explain.
Can he explain the hammer to these people?
The carriage is moving.
There are many things to come next...such as the election of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, elections, and the formulation of various policies. and, territory redistribution.
There are too many things...
Liu Zheng was very tired.
In the past few days, there have been many assassinations targeting Liu Zheng on the road, but with Jiang Xuan and Pei Qianyun here, they couldn't even get close to the carriage, and they became corpses one by one on the street. At this time, Liu Zheng's reputation in Long Yan had two extremes.
One is that he is still a sage in the world. This is because Liu Zheng has not had any thoughts about the throne, including not fighting for Xie Chan. Most people who think this way are somewhat knowledgeable and can understand the situation of Longyan.
The other one called Liu Zheng a "traitor"!
Most of these people are those who have evil intentions and are royalists. Most of them naturally follow what others say. They will follow their emotions at the slightest provocation. These people have no independent opinions, no knowledge, and do not even know the words. At this time, their vulgarity and ignorance are increasingly displayed.
Liu Zheng.
Of course I don’t blame them.
This is a problem for society as a whole.
He has always encouraged people to go to school. He has never liked any policy of obscuring the people, although this kind of thing seems contradictory. Rulers like people to be relatively ignorant, because it is easier for them to rule. Therefore, in this ancient feudal society, class solidification was very serious.
Sudden.
An idea flashed in Liu Zheng's mind.
You said that with so many people scolding him, he could turn a deaf ear or ignore it, but he would still be upset.
What to do?
He suggested that Long Yan build a school widely, but this school and the popularization of education cannot be completed in a day or two...
So……
What should we do if we want to change this rotten environment like Longyan?
Vernacular!
Liu Zheng suddenly thought of this.
When he was at Wangbei Academy, he once introduced vernacular Chinese. At that time, the emergence of vernacular literature caused a turmoil in the entire Long Yan literary world. Most people are against it.
Vernacular writing…
What's this?
This is a blasphemy against traditional culture and classical Chinese!
At that time, the emergence of vernacular writing still caused an uproar in the entire literary world. However, it is undeniable that after that, many books in vernacular began to be circulated among the people. Especially those with lower levels of education began to have a great interest in these vernacular texts.
Facts have proved that the sinking market is the largest market.
More and more people are beginning to accept this new thing.
As a result, among the people, the first vernacular prose collection, the first vernacular novel, the first vernacular literature...
Liu Zheng is naturally concerned about these.
It's just that he doesn't have time to do this anymore...
but……
It's different now.
Vernacular writing…
The foundation of vernacular writing seems to have been laid in Longyan.
So.
What about simplified Chinese characters?
This topic, if it were in Liu Zheng's previous life, would definitely be a very sensitive topic. Because back then, when the traditional Chinese characters of Chinese civilization began to be replaced by simplified characters, it aroused opposition from many people, and even a group of literati who devoted their lives to defending traditional characters...
They feel that simplified Chinese characters are emasculating the traditional culture of Chinese civilization!
Of course, from this perspective, this idea is correct. It is undeniable that traditional Chinese characters have advantages in beauty and layout, but for texts where dissemination of information is the primary purpose, traditional characters are too cumbersome.
Here, a concept needs to be mentioned.
What are the properties of text?
When Chinese characters were first created, they were mostly based on meaning and configuration, and were highly figurative in thinking, resulting in early ideographic fonts with complex shapes. But the properties of words should be easy to remember, use and spread. Therefore, large-scale simplification of characters is inevitable in historical development. This can be seen from history. The first large-scale simplification and standardization of Chinese characters occurred after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. From small seal script to official script, it was a process of simplification. If we look at what is known as "traditional culture", did Qin Shihuang castrate a lot of culture, or did he become famous in history because he unified writing?
Since then, the evolution of writing has continued to become more and more simple.
Text will become more symbolic.
and!
What's most important!
Liu Zheng believes that the most urgent need for Long Yan today is to improve the quality of the people!
That is to say, we need to start a large-scale literacy campaign!
First, although the social status of many people has been improved, many policies cannot be accurately communicated due to illiteracy and illiteracy. In this process, they will naturally lose their own due to some reasons. Lots of benefits. This is not what Liu Zheng wants to see.
Second, it is still in the direction of ignorance. The more illiterate people are, the less intelligent they are (of course there are exceptions), and they will lack independent opinions and follow what others say.
Literacy!
Experience in previous lives has proven that the efficiency of literacy in simplified Chinese is 20% higher than that in traditional Chinese!
certainly.
Liu Zheng also knows how many obstacles will be encountered if simplified Chinese characters are implemented.
but……
He felt that this process was inevitable!
If there are no mistakes in his plan, Long Yan will be a real superpower in the future! He wants Chinese characters to become the most widely used script and language in the world!
This also prompted him to speed up the reform of writing and language!
Not only that.
Completely removing the policy of obscuring the people will also help change people's attitude towards imperial power, and will also greatly affect the support rate of the constitutional monarchy!
This will also be of great help to the stability of the domestic situation!
"Quick, don't go to the House of Lords, go to the Hanlin Academy!"
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng quickly opened the curtain and said to Pei Qianyun.
Pei Qianyun was stunned, but without asking why, he turned the carriage around and ran towards the Hanlin Academy.
When people in the Hanlin Academy heard that Liu Zheng, who was now at the height of the Dragon Flame and could be said to cover the sky with one hand, was here, they all came out to greet him.
Seeing that the people in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, including various bachelors, were all so respectful, Liu Zheng was a little bit dumbfounded.
Speaking of which, he is still working in the Hanlin Academy as an attendant...
There was no way he could bear the worship of these people.
"My lords, this kid really can't bear it!"
Liu Zheng quickly bowed his hands and went back.
"Hahahaha, we worship Shilang Liu, he is the pillar of the country! He is the great weapon of the country! Why can't we worship him?"
Chen Qian laughed loudly. He was still a bachelor of the inner academy of the Hanlin Academy.
The others followed him out.
The Hanlin Academy is where Long Yan really engages in academics, and it is also where he studies the art of emperors. How could they look at those ordinary people who were deceived by others? I wonder how much Liu Shilang gave up in this change of imperial power. , how much has been done. Therefore, the eyes of these people looking at Liu Zheng were full of admiration and expectation.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Chen Laomiao praised it."
"Master Liu, please!"
"please!"
Chen Qian was in front, Liu Zheng walked side by side, and the others followed behind.
Liu Zheng is no stranger to the Hanlin Academy and has been there many times.
Chen Qian took a deep look at Liu Zheng and said with a smile: "Beijing has not been very peaceful recently. Liu Shilang is actually free to come to the Hanlin Academy. What is this..."
Liu Zheng didn't waste any time and said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I would like to put forward an idea for everyone to discuss."
"oh?"
A group of people looked suspicious.
Whenever there is a change of imperial power, the Hanlin Academy is the most idle because they are unwilling to participate in it.
Most of the Hanlin Academy is composed of scholars who have character and have little interest in power struggles. Therefore, no matter how complicated the domestic situation is, the Hanlin Academy can be regarded as a paradise.
But I didn't expect...
Liu Shilang, who had just become a popular figure in Long Yan, came to the Hanlin Academy.
Why is this?
A group of people, sit down.
Those who can sit with Chen Qian and come to receive Liu Zheng are naturally people with high status in the Hanlin Academy.
They all looked at Liu Zheng suspiciously, waiting for his next words.
Liu Zheng took a sip of tea and then laughed and said: "I want to reform writing in my humble position!"
"What?"
"What?"
"Word?"
A group of people's expressions changed drastically after hearing this.
…
"Asshole, bastard, this Minister Liu is just a bastard!"
at this time.
In the palace.
Xie Ming's face was livid, and he beat the things in the Yangxin Palace hard. The palace maids and eunuchs were standing by, but they only dared to clean things up, but did not dare to persuade them.
"Ouch, what happened to Ming'er..."
"what's wrong!"
Dong Shuyu may have gotten the news and rushed over.
Xie Ming suddenly looked fiercely.
Dong Shuyu trembled all over, then sighed and asked again: "Why is the Holy One so angry?"
He is already the emperor...
He is already the emperor!
Why, no one regards him as the emperor yet, including his own mother!
Xie Ming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes became more sinister, but he said nothing.
Dong Shuyu also felt the psychological changes in her biological son. She waved her hand and the palace maid and eunuch left.
She just walked up to Xie Ming and whispered: "Sir, don't worry, the current public opinion is still against us. Don't you know that the royalists are scolding Liu Zheng half to death every day!"
Dong Shuyu pretended to be relaxed.
Xie Ming then asked: "Seriously?"
Dong Shuyu chuckled: "That's not true, don't worry, Your Majesty. I say these people are just a bunch of cheap bones! They can't live without the emperor, and they can't live without our Xie family! Think about it, we Long Yan, how can we This has been going on for thousands of years. Who said that if you want to change this country, you can change it?"
After hearing this, Xie Ming's expression softened a little, but a strong murderous intention still flashed in his eyes: "How are our people prepared?"
