It's just that Li Si doesn't think so.
In his opinion, Ying Shu's accomplishments over hundreds of skills have already been revealed.
Just because they were supplies for people's livelihood, they did not attract the attention of the court.
"From soap, to Qin Wang's plow, to various sugars, to today's Qin paper, and the movable type printing technology that has not yet appeared!"
"Your Majesty, you have made a certain contribution to this novel thing!"
Li Si said in a deep tone: "Only he can obtain such epoch-making treasures as Qin Zhi!"
"Um!"
At this moment, Hu Wujing also nodded in agreement.
After a while, everyone arrived at the square outside Zhangtai Palace.
As Li Si and Hu Wujing waited in the square for a while, they happened to go to Zhangtai Palace with Ying Shu and others.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor will last forever—!" Headed by Li Si, Hu Wujing and the six great doctors hurriedly paid homage to the First Emperor.
At the same time, Ying Shu also saluted respectfully and said: "My son, Ying Shu, pays homage to my father. Your Majesty, the Emperor, will live forever—!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Si and Hu Wujing were not surprised, but the six great doctors were shocked by it.
Yingshu calls himself father!
The meaning of this is too great.
However, at this time, no matter how shocked they were, they could not ask, they could only suppress this doubt.
"Young ladies, you don't need to be so polite, just stay on your own terms!"
"sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After each other sat down, Zhao Gao served tea. The First Emperor looked at the ministers and said, "You all came hand in hand. I guess it is the calligraphy office that has produced results?"
"Your Majesty, this is the examination and supporting evidence of the evolution of Chinese characters confirmed by the Office of Character Collection!" After receiving Li Si's signal, Hu Wujing quickly handed the document to the First Emperor.
After the first emperor read it, he laughed and said: "The writings of Da Qin are orthodox, which is very good!"
"Your Majesty, after repeated calculations by the Character Collection Office, all the newly created characters of the Six Kingdoms, but we, Great Qin, do not have them, have all been added to it!"
Hu Wujing's tone was respectful, and he spoke word by word to the First Emperor: "According to the compilation of the six great doctors, there are more than 2,100 commonly used characters in Wei State, and there are more than 21,300 characters in total."
"There are more than 1,300 commonly used characters in Zhao State, and there are more than 21,300 characters in total."
"There are 2,160 commonly used characters in Korea, with a total of more than 23,900 characters. There are more than 1,800 commonly used characters in Yan Kingdom, with a total of more than 18,000 characters."
"There are more than 1,900 commonly used scripts in Chu State, with a total of more than 21,000 characters. There are more than 2,100 commonly used characters in Qi State, with a total of 21,000 characters."
"I, the Qin Dynasty, have written more and more words since Lord Shang's reform!"
"There are 1,360 commonly used characters. There are 11,730 characters in total."
"After supplementation, I, Da Qin, currently have 30,000 characters!"
........
Hearing this, the First Emperor was also very happy: "The Qin Dynasty has 30,000 characters, which is enough to express its meaning in writing!"
"Complement Qin with new words to form new characters!"
"It is both inheritance and development!"
At this point, the First Emperor changed his subject and said: "However, the characters of our Da Qin are complex in form, while the characters of the Six Kingdoms are simple, and the balance between traditional and simplified is not conducive to dissemination!"
"Right now, I, Da Qin, will create a new font!"
"The big seal script can no longer be used!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
They all know that the most important thing in reforming writing is the same text as the book.
We need to give the world a definite writing method to facilitate unified understanding!
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
At this moment, Li Si spoke and said: "Cheng Miao handed over a document. Cheng Miao's strategy is to simplify the large seal script into small seal script, and then simplify it into official script!"
"The small seal script is the basis, and the official script is the supplement!"
"It's just a matter of simplification. It hasn't started yet, and I don't dare to define it in my heart!"
"According to what Cheng Miao said, Xiaozhuan is mainly used by the imperial court, while official script is used for dissemination!"
After taking a sip of tea, Ying Shu frowned.
He didn't want to argue.
I also like Xiaozhuan.
However, the formation of two languages in one country is obviously not conducive to unification.
"Father, and everyone, I object to this!"
Ying Shu stood up and saluted the First Emperor, Li Si and others: "Although the small seal script is a simplified large seal script."
"It can better represent our great Qin!"
"But how can there be two fonts in one country?"
"Since the official script is simple and easy to spread, then the official script will be the main one!"
"The whole country should unite with one word and formulate the official language!"
"At the same time, formulate the pronunciation of Da Qin characters and compile a Da Qin dictionary!"
"Whether it is court documents or folk writing, a unified font must be used!"
"Otherwise, the three words "the same text in the book" would be in vain!"
Speaking of this, Ying Shu spoke impassionedly: "At the same time, I think that the six great doctors should be the main ones to compile the First Emperor's Canon and collect the world's collection of books to include it!"
"Daxing Empire Grammar, let the people of the world see that our Da Qin not only has Wu Yi, but also has Jian Jia Cang Cang!"
"At the same time, we will revise the Chinese history books with the Doctoral Academy as the main focus and the Preface Department as the supplement!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhangtai Palace suddenly became quiet.
Li Si frowned, pondered for a long time, and said: "Once you choose official script, it is equivalent to abandoning the form of the seal script and taking the form of the Six Kingdoms script as the benchmark!"
"Haha, where did the Six Kingdoms come from in this world!"
"It's just me, Da Qin!"
Ying Shu chuckled lightly and explained to Li Si, "As long as I, Da Qin, promote it, then it will be my Qin character!"
"Otherwise, how can various university palaces enlighten students?"
"When the time comes, if you want to be an official, you will have to learn Xiaozhuan again!"
"In this case, why not take one step and use official script to spread throughout the world? The whole country will use official script once and for all!"
"This way, it will be much easier to formulate the Great Qin Dictionary, compile history books, and the First Emperor's Ceremony!"
"It won't cause chaos!"
"The most important thing about words is to convey meaning and spread!"
"Your Majesty, I agree with what your Majesty said!"
At this moment, Li Si nodded, held his hands towards the First Emperor, and said: "Once the whole country adopts official script, it will indeed reduce a lot of troubles!"
"The book has the same text, so do it more thoroughly!"
"Your Majesty, I agree with what your Majesty and Your Prime Minister have said!" At this moment, Hu Wujing also nodded: "Even if Xiaozhuan and official script are separated, they are still two kinds of writing, which will cause inconvenience!"
"It's more convenient if the whole country uses one script!"
"good!"
The First Emperor also smiled. He didn't have much opinion on this matter.
What he pursues is just the unification of words.
"Prime Minister Li took the lead in this matter, assisted by Feng Chang, Cheng Miao and the six great doctors. We first simplified the seal script, absorbed the characters of the six countries, and developed it into official script!"
"The compilation of the Great Qin Dictionary will be the responsibility of Min Jun, assisted by the six major doctors!"
"The revision of Chinese history books will be discussed by the imperial court!"
