"It's open! It's open! The door is open!"
"Go in and see what this "Datang Dictionary" is like. How dare you call yourself a masterpiece?"
The store door of Qiqi Culture was opened first. Sun Huaiyuan, wearing a purple-red gown, walked out beamingly. He raised his hands to everyone and said:
"Everyone, friends, gathered here today must be out of curiosity to take a look at the "Datang Dictionary". I won't talk nonsense. After a while, everyone can go in and take a look at our new "Datang Dictionary" in their own order. Dictionary". Today's "Datang Dictionary" is only allowed to be viewed, but will not be sold. In two days, Qiqu Culture will sell a thousand copies of "Datang Dictionary". If you need it, remember to come and buy it. !”
"What~? It's not for sale today? Why isn't it for sale?"
"That's right! Why did you bring us here if you don't want to sell us!"
………………
Some people in the crowd who had come here early to buy the "Datang Dictionary" couldn't help but complained to Sun Huaiyuan with great dissatisfaction. Most of them had heard the magic of pinyin from some of the Imperial College students before, so they were not interested in "Datang Dictionary". They didn't have much doubt about the function of "Dictionary". They came here today just to ask for a dictionary.
"Everyone, please be patient and listen carefully to what I have to say!"
Sun Huaiyuan was well prepared for this. He cupped his hands and said loudly:
"This "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" adopts the pinyin newly invented by my lord, and has gathered several months of hard work by the prince and the twelve great scholars under the command of King Wei. In the later period, Mr. Li Gang, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, also gave a helping hand. Today, the emperor is responsible for This has been a huge concern and support.”
"After the dictionary was compiled yesterday, my Lord brought the first "Datang Dictionary" to the palace. His Majesty greatly appreciated the dictionary and said personally that "Datang Dictionary" can be used as an enlightenment reading book for children and for young students in the future. A must-have reference book for the imperial examination! Our workshop is working hard to print dictionaries, and it is estimated that a thousand dictionaries will be printed in two days!"
"In the next month, the imperial court will send a group of Imperial Academy assistants who are proficient in Pinyin to teach and popularize Pinyin for free at Taoist temples and academies in Chang'an City. Friends who have bought the "Datang Dictionary" can attend the class. I promise, Anyone who is illiterate can learn Pinyin within ten days, and then you can use the "Datang Dictionary" to learn all Chinese characters!"
As soon as Sun Huaiyuan finished speaking, the people queuing up below immediately exploded. There were indeed a large number of people who had great doubts about the "Datang Dictionary" after reading the headlines in the newspapers, but now Sun Huaiyuan's words were unequivocal. , even the current Holy One has moved it out, so why don’t they believe it?
Of course, no one doubts that Sun Huaiyuan is lying. Anyone who dares to use Li Er's words to advertise in Chang'an City is probably not even born yet!
Moreover, according to Sun Huaiyuan, if a child wants to be literate, the cost is only to buy a "Datang Dictionary". This is really amazing!
In modern society, people often complain about the difficulty and expense of education. It costs tens of thousands a year for a child to attend kindergarten. However, in ancient times, education was more difficult and expensive. Firstly, books were expensive, and secondly, tuition fees were expensive. This also led to the extremely low literacy rate of ancient people.
Now that there is such a cheap way to become literate, many people are shocked.
"The Holy One actually knows about the "Datang Dictionary"?"
"Did the Holy One personally designate the "Datang Dictionary" as a necessary reference book for the imperial examination?"
"According to what Shopkeeper Sun said, my baby only needs to attend ten days of Pinyin lessons, and he will be able to recognize all the characters in the "Datang Dictionary" later, right?"
"Isn't this too...a good deal?"
"Shopkeeper Sun, is this Pinyin really that useful?"
A big man asked with a roar.
Sun Huaiyuan smiled at him and nodded, saying: "Of course, the Imperial College has taken the lead in popularizing Pinyin before, and now the students in the Imperial College have basically learned Pinyin. Is it easy to use? You may not believe what I said, but you can go Ask the students at the Imperial College!"
"I know this. The kid next door to my house is in the Four Gates Academy of the Imperial College. I heard that kid said that Pinyin is very easy to learn. He learned it in five days! After learning it, he can directly recognize all the characters using Pinyin. !”
A middle-aged man with a full beard spoke enthusiastically.
"Meng Laosi, are you lying to me again?"
"Fuck you! When have I, Meng Laosi, ever deceived anyone? I don't believe in ball counting! You don't want me to buy it!"
"Ahem! Okay, now everyone goes into the store in order to take a look at our new "Datang Dictionary". In order to celebrate the completion of the "Datang Dictionary", all the books of today's Funny Culture are 10% off. Of course, this discount It does not overlap with the discounts of the membership card! Please~!”
Sun Huaiyuan looked at the Qiqi Pavilion on the other side. He interrupted the noise of the crowd anxiously and said.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Today's trip is not in vain!"
"Haha! Yes, yes!"
A cheer broke out from the crowd. Sun Huaiyuan smiled and shook his head. He called a boy over and told him to look after him carefully. Then he walked quickly towards the Qiqi Pavilion next to him. There were many "big bosses" there. Waiting for him to open in the past!
……………………
"Hey, shopkeeper Sun is finally here!"
"Yes! I've been waiting for a long time!"
As soon as Sun Huaiyuan came over, the wealthy businessmen in front couldn't help but complain.
They were also queuing up to buy things, but Funny Culture opened the door first, which inevitably made them feel unhappy.
"Haha! Mr. Wu, Mr. Liao, please forgive me, please forgive me! I'm really busy with my job!"
Most of the people in front of him were old acquaintances. Sun Huaiyuan bowed his hands apologetically and greeted them.
"Haha, open the door quickly! Let me see Sir Alex Lee's same car. I've been eager for it for a long time!"
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper Sun, hurry up!"
Anyone who is well-informed knows that the carriage for sale today is similar to the new carriage that Li Zexuan has been riding in. They have more or less encountered Li Zexuan riding in a new carriage before. From the appearance alone, he looks very powerful and domineering. , the people who come to line up are all wealthy people. What they pay attention to when going out now is a matter of ostentation, so these people want to buy one and go back to show off. Ahem, they are just showing off.
"Haha! Okay, I won't talk nonsense. You will experience it for yourselves later! Now everyone, please look to your right. This is the latest carriage developed by our workshop. Zhang Side, go and lift the curtain above!"
Shopkeeper Sun laughed and gave orders with a wave of his hand.
He was very confident about the new carriage - "Don't Touch Me". He felt that there was no need to make any unnecessary introduction and publicity. These people would know it once they got on it and tried it.
"Yes, Shopkeeper Sun!"
A boy next to Sun Huaiyuan responded and quickly ran over to lift the tent cloth.
