The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 528

No one wants their own culture to be abolished.

Hu Jishu took the lead, and the minister Jing Cong.

Chen Yong is also happy to watch the show.

No matter who wins the two sides, in Chen Yong's view, it is God's will.

If Zhu Ying were here, she wouldn't think so.

In the history of Annan, the word Nom was only a flash in the pan after all, and it was replaced by pinyin characters without any reservations in the end.

The point of contention today is nothing more than the promotion of Chinese characters.

The reason why Annan Nan characters have been popular in Annan for hundreds of years is entirely because the suzerain state of the Central Plains Dynasty has no intention of cultural promotion at all.

Perhaps it can be said that among all the emperors throughout the ages, only the first emperor really wanted to export culture in a unified way.

The rulers of the Central Plains dynasty have never had this idea.

There are still so many illiterates in my family, so who cares about your small frontier country.

Even some small countries use Chinese characters because they were once under the rule of the Central Plains dynasty. Creating an independent language and writing system is not a simple matter.

In fact, including the current Goryeo, in fact, according to the process of history, it will also develop its own characters.

Therefore, now is a critical period. At this time, Chinese characters are popularized and promoted worldwide, which will affect the changes in the cultural landscape that may be millennia in the future.

The Central Plains dynasty has never been a dynasty of national independence, but a dynasty of great unity and great integration.

This is also the political task that Zhu Ying entrusted to Liu Sheng and others before leaving.

He is not in a hurry to seize Annan's power, but wants to subtly educate the people of Annan.

Therefore, on the point of "Nanzi", Liu Sheng will never make any concessions.

Since Chen Yong wants to watch the show, let's watch it carefully.

Immediately, Liu Sheng came out, looked at Hu Jishou who was kneeling and said, "Msg Hu must be clear about one thing, that is, as the emperor said just now, the country of Annan has existed for thousands of years."

"And the word "Nan" only started to appear hundreds of years ago. In Annan hundreds of years ago, didn't he use words and languages? ?"

"So what if a thousand years are compared to a hundred years? Now, the abolition of the Nom characters and the promotion of Chinese characters is really a move to return to the right path. Why do you oppose it?"

"Is it just because of my own habits that I have to use a hundred-year-old custom to waste a thousand-year-old custom?"

"It's ridiculous to say that Annan's subjects can't adapt to the abolition of the word "Nan". How did they get used to it when the word "Nan" was implemented?"

"As far as the edict is concerned, I remember that the Annan Yizong once ordered the implementation of Nom characters. Now that the edict is issued to implement Chinese characters, what problems can there be?"

Liu Sheng has followed Zhu Ying for many years, and he is an old idiot who has been in the Western Regions.

Hooligans are not terrible, just because they are educated.

At the beginning, Liu Sheng, who was in his seventies and eighties, followed Zhu Ying to study and read, and with almost a lifetime of knowledge, he never conceded defeat in the debate.

Hu Jishou had spent half his life fumbling in the court, but naturally he didn't give way when it came to glibness.

Immediately, he got up and defended, "Jian Liu's words are different."

"The implementation of the Nom character is indeed not as far-reaching as the Chinese character, but the invention of the Nom character is also my pride in Annan, and it also represents my Annan's accomplishments in literature."

"Let's say that since the invention of Nom characters, I have never said that I would be forced to learn by Annan people. I am an Annan literati. I like it and learn it step by step."

"There are many great talents who think that this is the future of Annan. At first, it was not perfect after its appearance. It was the study and pondering of my Annan talents from generation to generation. It is only now that it is gradually perfected and used."

"There are also many literary works written in Nom, isn't that enough for me, Annan?"

"Nowadays, Chinese characters have not disappeared in my Annan. Daming is still the suzerain of my Annan, and correspondence is still written in Hanzi. What is the impact of this word in it?"

"In other words, although some of the words are changed according to the murmur, Supervisor Liu should also know that even in a country as powerful as Ming Dynasty and with such a vast territory, there are still different pronunciations for ten miles, hundreds of miles. Disagree."

"Liu Jianjun has been in my Annan for more than a year. There may be differences in some words, but there is no problem in the daily communication."

"Since this is the case, why should Supervisor Liu be obsessed with abolishing my An Nanan character? Let the two go hand in hand. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"As far as it looks now, it doesn't have much impact."

"Besides, since the development of Nan characters, no king has said that Chinese characters will be abolished. The current situation is completely a kind of free development."

Hu Jishou's words immediately won the approval of many Annan courtiers.

They all nodded frequently, and after he finished speaking, some people couldn't help applauding loudly, Hu Jishou was very powerful for a while.

As far as the current debate is concerned, Hu Jishou's speaking angle is very tricky, and it is obvious that he wants to persuade Liu Sheng on the bright side, so that he has no room to refute.

Once Liu Sheng loses this debate, the imperial edict will definitely not be issued.

Annan Taishang Huang Chen Yong, who was sitting at the top, looked at Hu Jishang and said that there was no gap in the reasoning of the words, and there was a bit of complicated meaning in the eyes.

In the past, he just felt that Hu Jiyak used himself to seize the power of the court. If the power was in his own hands, he would definitely be able to develop Annan better than him.

But just from the words just now, Chen Yong felt a huge gap.

When Liu Sheng spoke earlier, Chen Yong put himself on Hu Jishou's body, and couldn't think of any rebuttal words for a while.

I think what Liu Sheng said makes sense.

But now that Hu Jizhen said these words, Chen Yong found that he was even more unable to refute. If he were Liu Sheng now, he would be speechless.

This level of refutation gave Chen Yong the feeling that it was a blow to reduce dimensionality, and it was a crushing of IQ.

This made Chen Yong twist his body and feel a little uncomfortable.

He followed Liu Sheng's gaze to see what else he had to say.

However, Liu Sheng's expression clearly told him that not only did he have something to say, but he also had a lot to say.

It was only after the hall was quiet that Liu Sheng said in a calm and unhurried manner: "There is some truth in what Prime Minister Hu said."

"I think Hu Xiang himself has studied the word Nom for many years, and he has a lot of attainments."

Hearing this question, Hu Jishou didn't have anything to deny, and immediately said: "That's natural."

Liu Sheng continued: "Not only Prime Minister Hu, but also the officials in this hall, all big and small, should be very familiar with the word Nom, and even started learning it since childhood."

"Even some officials, I'm afraid not only hard to learn the characters, but even how to write Chinese characters, they don't even learn how to write Chinese characters seriously. There are always people who know Chinese characters in Annan, and this has no big impact on Ming Tongshu."

"Among Annan's subjects, how many people have learned Chinese characters since childhood. I think you should know it very well."

This is not Liu Sheng's nonsense, but a conclusion that he learned after a year of observation.

At present, Annan's imperial examinations use Nom characters as the basic characters. Naturally, it is impossible for Annan's scholars to learn Chinese characters in particular, which is of no significance to their careers.

That is to say, the royal family has reservations about this, even if it is contextual, it is also carried out in the word Nom.

It can be said that the whole Annan is basically learning Nom characters, and the learning of Chinese characters is just a branch.

There is usually no place to use it.

Shanlun, just based on these words, it is impossible for the opponent to rebut Hu Jishou's words forcefully.

Liu Sheng continued: "I ask you all to think about it, when your majesty the first emperor, why did you want to have the same track and the same text? This is not to annihilate the schools of different schools, but to make it easier for everyone to communicate. "

"Now that the maritime ban in my Ming Dynasty has been lifted, the era of maritime trade is coming. On Annan's side, the port is not only to restore the prosperity of the past, but it is more likely to surpass the past."

"During this maritime trade, you should all know that now, His Royal Highness, the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, promotes maritime trade, builds sea-going ships, and allows them to be used by civilians. In the years to come, it must be our merchants of the Ming Dynasty who will travel the world."

"Annan's subjects, if you want to do business with my merchants in Daming, is it convenient to communicate directly, or is it more convenient to find an interpreter everywhere?"

"In terms of navigation, not only Annan, but also Champa. In terms of maritime trade, the passage of Champa is more convenient than Annan."

"The development of Champa as a country is strong. Everyone knows it. Its origin lies in our dynasty in the Central Plains. During the pre-Tang Dynasty, all countries came to Tang. With the help of this climate, Champa was able to develop rapidly."

"Now that a new era is approaching, Annan does not have any advantage over Champa in terms of competition for development, and now he is not even fluent in the language. You think I am a businessman of the Ming Dynasty, so what choice should I make?"

"The dispute over Annan Champa has a long history. If you fall behind because of this, would you be willing? Perhaps this is not a matter of several years or more than ten years."

"Perhaps you feel that things that will happen decades later have nothing to do with you. Don't you have any descendants? Shouldn't you think about your descendants?"

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng paused slightly, and then said: "The reason why I advocate the abolition of Nom characters is actually because Annan's national conditions are different, and Nom characters themselves are Chinese characters. Learning Chinese characters is very simple for Annan, not difficult. study."

"In terms of the change of Nom characters, it is actually a change of Chinese characters. This change is actually not very meaningful to Annan."

"If it is not abolished, how many years will it take for Annan to implement it until all subjects use Chinese characters?"

"In the days to come, Champa will still have little competitiveness."

"Let's talk about the words, is there really any benefit for Annan? Is it to make Annan more prosperous, or to make Annan's weather smooth and more food?"

"Is it more convenient to communicate with the outside world, or is it more troublesome?"

"Everyone has been learning Nom since birth, so you don't think there is anything wrong with it, but think about it from the bottom of your heart, what Nom has brought to Annan."

"Let me tell you something that you don't like to hear very much. The land of Annan is not even comparable to the slightly larger prefecture of Daming, but it still implements a special language."

"This is a bondage to oneself, a bondage to the future, and it puts a layer of shackles on everyone."

"Today, only by completely breaking this shackle can Annan usher in a stronger development."

"Maybe you don't feel much, but I know it very clearly here. With the popularity of my Daming Jingshi Mansion newspaper in the world, now outside, you only need to know Chinese characters to find a job as a translator."

"Let's say that the families of the ministers in Annan are now able to get newspapers from the capital's mansion. Do they also have scholars who can understand Chinese characters?"

"This expense should be considered not small."

"In the future, the popularity of Chinese characters will inevitably expand to more countries. In the future, the understanding of Chinese characters will inevitably be the mainstream in the future. At this time, Annan chooses to stick to his old ways and draw the ground into a prison. What's the point?"

In such words, Hu Jishou frowned endlessly, and his eyes were pensive, but also thoughtful.

Liu Sheng's point did not lie in Hu Jishu's direction at all.

To put it simply, you talk to me about the feelings of national independence, and I talk to you about the development of the international situation.

You tell me about literature, and I tell you about practicality.

Among them, pulling Champa out to provoke conflicts can be an excellent way to stimulate Annan's courtiers, including Chen Yong.

What benefits did the word Nom bring to Annan?
On this point alone, according to Liu Sheng's thinking from a practical direction, it is a question that has no way to answer.

At this time, Hu Jishou didn't have nothing to say, but was really moved by Liu Sheng's words about the future development.

The well-informed Hu Jishu is not a stubborn person, otherwise it would be impossible to say that he has the status of power in the government and the opposition.

Although he is greedy for power, he really wants Annan to develop better.

Many of the things Liu Sheng said were actually known to Hu Jishu, and he also had his own sources of information.

The current contemplation is really considering whether it is really necessary to abolish the word "Nan".

In fact, this has nothing to do with Hu Jishou himself, because he is very talented and knowledgeable, not only is he very familiar with Chinese characters, but also has a large collection of books in the Central Plains at home.

There is not much difference between using Nom and Chinese characters.

Because too many literary classics are written in Chinese characters.

Chen Yong leaned back in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, I was still thinking that what Hu Jishou said was very reasonable, but now I feel that what Liu Sheng said is the real embodiment.

Although he didn't speak, he felt a little embarrassed.

He feels that the current self is like a fool, whoever speaks thinks that whoever is right.

When he turned his gaze to Hu Jiyao, he saw that his previous composure no longer appeared on his face, which made him a little troubled.

He not only agrees with Liu Sheng's words, but also hopes that Hu Jishou can say more truths.
