Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 111 Zhu Zhanji: Ji Gang died too early! ! !
Zhu Zhanji's voice had a strong inductive meaning.

He didn't directly tell Yu Qian too many things in an affirmative tone.

Some things are just empty words, even if Yu Qian accepts them, they are not what Zhu Zhanji wants to see.

What he wants is to plant a seed in Yu Qian's heart.

rather than a direct answer.

He is very clear that a person's power is limited, even if he is a time traveler.

The things he can change by himself are always only what he sees or thinks of himself.
And some things that can't be seen or forgotten, it is naturally impossible to cover everything.

Moreover, his identity also meant that he could not personally participate in many things.

Only by planting seeds one by one, waiting for these seeds to bloom and bear fruit, is the most correct way of thinking.

And Yu Qian in front of him is undoubtedly a good choice.

Young, smart, and most importantly, his character has also experienced the test of history and is trustworthy.

Hearing that Zhu Zhanji asked him to take a long-term view, Yu Qian was slightly taken aback, and the first thought in his heart was actually a little unconvinced.

After all, he has always set his goals extremely far, and he thinks that he is not a short-sighted person.

But thinking about what Zhu Zhanji said, he found that he seemed to be looking at the sky from a well, and he couldn't help showing a bit of a wry smile on his face. He clasped his fists at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Yu Qian would like to be taught!"

"Don't be so polite!"

Zhu Zhanji raised his chin and said with a smile: "I just think that with your talent, you should not only see Daming and the surrounding countries of Daming with your eyes. Maybe you can see farther away, and you will find that the sea is actually On the other hand, there may be a world that we have not yet discovered, full of gold, unheard of grain seeds, or a piece of fertile land, or another civilization that is not weaker than ours."

"I really hope that one day you can help me prove my conjectures. At the same time, I also hope that one day, people from my Ming Dynasty can travel all over the world, and my flag from Ming Dynasty can be planted in every corner of the world. The sun and the moon Everything is Daming."

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, the yard was a little quiet. Yu Qian looked at Zhu Zhanji with an inexplicable expression on his face.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, he also felt a little fiery in his heart for no reason.

Zhu Zhanji's words could not help but be deeply reflected in his head.

Wherever the sun and the moon go, it is Daming!

.........

After leaving Yu Qian's yard, Zhu Zhanji went to the prison again.

Recently, Xie Jin has come up with results.

With Zhu Zhanji's orders and sufficient manpower.

The first textbooks have basically been written.

In the prison, Zhu Zhanji and Xie Jin sat opposite each other.

Zhu Zhanji was reading a book, while Xie Jin sat facelessly opposite Zhu Zhanji, eating and drinking wildly.

Xie Jin is also going crazy recently, because Zhu Zhanji pitted him, almost all the people who were sent to prison by Zhu Zhanji looked at him with an inexplicable meaning on weekdays.

Sometimes when eating and sleeping, he would feel a chill in his back for no reason.

So these days, he didn't dare to sleep too much when sleeping, for fear that in the middle of the night, someone would cover his head, and then he would be beaten for no reason.

Therefore, although Zhang Mao has never treated him badly in terms of eating and drinking, under the watchful eyes of a group of original friends, Xie Jin has never had a good meal. Such a great opportunity.

So after seeing Zhu Zhanji, he immediately applied for a table of wine and food.

"Grandfather, let me tell you..."

Xie Jin held a roast chicken in one hand, and ignored his own image when facing Zhu Zhanji, took a sip of the wine, took another bite of the chicken leg, swallowed it with difficulty, and then said with a comfortable expression on his face :
"These things are all excerpted from the "Yongle Dadian" by me according to your instructions, and then reorganized. They are very suitable for children's enlightenment."

Zhu Zhanji didn't listen to Xie Jin's words, but carefully read the books in his hand page by page.

Some of these things he has seen, and some he has not seen.

It has to be said that the list provided by Xie Jin is also full of real people.

The book in his hand, whether it is content or anything else, is very in line with the language education methods of this era.

The words are catchy and the reasoning is simple and easy to understand.

But Zhu Zhanji couldn't help shaking his head after reading it.

Changing the soup but not the medicine is his view on this book.

Elementary education in this era can be summed up in three books:
"Thousand Characters", "Hundred Surnames" and "San Zi Jing".

As for the book produced by Xie Jin and others, the content of these three books is actually quite different.

In other words, using this book is not much different from using the three books of "Thousand Characters", "Hundred Surnames" and "San Zi Jing" for enlightenment education.

There is nothing wrong with such books as enlightenment education in this era.
But this is not what Zhu Zhanji wants to see, just take "Thousand Characters" as an example.

The full text has a total of 99 characters, except for the word "jie", which is repeated once, and none of the other words are repeated, which means that after learning the entire thousand-character text, one can know [-] characters.

But the difficulty in this is actually conceivable. Not to mention that some characters are very similar. Although the whole article is neatly contrasted, there are no rules that can be regarded as literacy.

If you want to remember every word firmly, you must spend a lot of time and energy on rote memorization.

Memorizing backwards and forwards is the foundation, even if you can read a word casually, you can immediately and accurately think of the position of the word, it is considered to be learned.

Then you can learn "Hundred Surnames" and "San Zi Jing".

So don't look at the social studies, voluntary studies, etc. in this era, there are a lot of schools where you can learn for free, but there are not many people who can really be literate.

Of course, there is a big reason for this because some children from poor families, even if they have the opportunity to go to school, have to give up in order to survive.

But the biggest reason is that the so-called enlightenment education threshold is too high.

Even if there is a teacher to teach, it is impossible to teach each person word by word.
In this way, without extremely high talents and after-school tutoring, it is basically just empty talk for children from poor families to change their destiny through reading.

Even if you work hard and spend several years, you may not be able to learn a mere thousand-character "Thousand-Character Essay".

And even if you spent a lot of time learning it, you only learned 99 characters.

But if you want to write an article with these [-] characters, it is naturally extremely difficult.

And if you want to know other characters, you can talk about the phonetic notation methods commonly used in this era, the straight phonetic method and the fanqie method.

Needless to say, the straight pronunciation is to mark the homophone. This method can only be used in relatively common characters, but if it is a rare character, even if the phonetic is marked, you may not be able to read it.

And Fanqie is to use two Chinese characters to phoneticize another Chinese character. The upper character of Fanqie has the same initial consonant as the character to be marked, and the lower character of Fanqie has the same final consonant and tone as the character to be marked, which is similar to Chinese Pinyin.

But there is also a huge problem. Like the straight tone method, it is very inconvenient to use.

They all require you to have a large amount of text reserves in order to understand them.

And none of these can be achieved only by relying on hard work, and must be regularly guided by professional people.

The time cost of hard work is too high, but the harvest is far away. Naturally, some people will choose to give up.

After reading the whole book, Zhu Zhanji closed the book casually, glanced at the imageless Xie Jin, and said:

"There is nothing wrong with the content of the book, and it is very suitable for enlightenment."

Hearing that Xie Jin was eating, Xie Jin paused slightly, his face showed a bit of complacency, and he said with a smile: "That's right, Your Highness Taisun, you think so too, haha, let me just say, I, Xie Jin, can't do anything else, It’s okay to write a book or something!”

Xie Jin spoke with confidence on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless, shook his head and said: "There is no problem with the content, but compared with the current enlightenment books, I don't think there is any difference."

After a pause, seeing the confident expression on Xie Jin's face froze, Zhu Zhanji continued: "I actually have an idea!"

"There is no problem with the content of these articles, but if an illiterate person is not taught by someone, it is basically impossible to understand all the characters above. In other words, I think this is the way of literacy. The obstacles are too great, there must be a written language for communication, so that the words and the words can be combined!"

"So I thought, can we mark these words with a very regular thing, as long as we follow the law of this mark, even without any basic learning, we can easily recognize these words."

"this………"

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Xie Jin couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

He felt that the idea of ​​His Royal Highness in front of him seemed a bit whimsical.

Whoever reads and reads does not rely on rote memorization, writing and reading over and over again, and then achieves literacy.

Using a rule to achieve literacy is completely whimsical in Xie Jin's view. After all, there are more than tens of thousands of Chinese characters, from pronunciation to structure, and they are endless. Even he dare not say that he can understand all characters. Naturally, it is impossible to find any law that can recognize all characters.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about the stiff expression on Xie Jin's face.

While talking, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Mao who was beside him, and asked Zhang Mao to prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone for himself.

Then I raised my hand and wrote down 63 Chinese Pinyin on the paper. After thinking about it, I annotated 63 Chinese characters with the same pronunciation and four tones.

After finishing all this, Zhu Zhanji handed the paper to Xie Jin, and then said with a smile:
"Look at this!"

After Xie Jin saw Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he wrote a large sheet of unrelated Chinese characters and a lot of strange symbols, and was also stunned.

After seeing Zhu Zhanji handing it over, he took it subconsciously, with a dazed and puzzled expression on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji explained: "This is the 63 commonly used pronunciation syllables that I have studied based on the Fanqie method. You can call them Qieyinxinzi, and the symbols next to them are Latin letters, which can be simply These Qieyin characters are written on behalf of you, which is convenient for marking Qieyin. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you can also directly use these 63 Qieyin characters to mark.”

While Zhu Zhanji was talking, he briefly explained to Xie Jin the usage of the various initials and finals of the Chinese pinyin, and also briefly explained the nasal symbols and tone symbols.

In fact, he also thought about using Chinese characters directly as the phonetic symbols of Hanyu Pinyin, but finally thought of the change of tones. If Chinese characters are used to mark the phonetic symbols, it will make the phonetic symbols more troublesome. After all, not all Qieyin characters can have four tones.

At the same time, the Latin alphabet is simpler than Chinese characters, and it is more convenient and quick to use as phonetic symbols.

If Chinese characters are used, it will make the 63 Qieyin characters more complicated, which is not conducive to learning, so I chose to continue using the Latin alphabet.

Xie Jin has been praised as the person who has read the most books in the past 300 years, and his brain is naturally not stupid.

Zhu Zhanji spoke in detail, and he understood the meaning of Zhu Zhanji's words almost once.

He doesn't understand the Latin alphabet. He has never seen this thing before, and it is just a symbol.

He didn't care about this, but stared at Zhu Zhanji's 63 Chinese characters arranged according to the initials, finals, and overall pinyin, and quickly began to calculate in his mind.

It's just that the more he calculated, the more intense the shock in his eyes became. In the end, he even became a little possessed, and began to mutter words.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless. He had to say that some people are indeed born academic masters, just like Xie Jin.

If you were a scumbag, you might lose interest after just a few glances, but for a top student, once you are interested in it, learning is like smoking a big cigarette.

The more you learn, the more fascinated you become, the more you learn, the more you devote yourself, and you can even get carried away.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't have time to wait for Xie Jin to slowly find 63 loopholes in Chinese pinyin.

When the big difference was almost over, Zhu Zhanji smiled and directly interrupted Jiejin's calculation and said: "Why, with these 63 Qieyin characters, as well as changes in nasal and pitch, they are used for phonetic notation. As long as you are familiar with these, right? Even without a teacher, can you actually find out the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word?"

The calculation was interrupted, Xie Jin was a little unhappy, and subconsciously wanted to curse, but just when he looked up, he saw Zhu Zhanji's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his back felt cold, and his angry words were stuck in his throat.

The anger on his face also seemed to lose the temperature in an instant, and he looked at Zhu Zhanji with an embarrassing face, and said, "Uh... Your Highness, Your Highness, forgive me, I was too involved just now, and I didn't hear His Highness's words clearly."

Zhu Zhanji is not angry when he sees Xie Jin like this. He has actually met many later generations of academic masters. Knowing how these people react when they are disturbed from studying, they are actually quite different from Xie Jin.

Hearing Xie Jin's question, he repeated what he had just said, and after speaking, he wrote Xie Jin's name on the paper, and then marked it in pinyin, saying: "Look, it's just like your name, Even if someone doesn't know the word "Jie Jin" in your name, as long as you learn the method of cutting the sound, you can naturally know how to pronounce it without anyone teaching you."

Xie Jin saw that Zhu Zhanji used those strange symbols on the paper.

Frowning slightly, he took the paper written by Zhu Zhanji and compared them one by one, and after spelling, his face showed a certain expression.

Immediately after writing the word "龖" on the paper, he asked, "His Royal Highness, can you recognize this character?"

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Are you Xiuer?

Looking at the two "dragon" characters on the paper, the corners of Zhu Zhanji's mouth twitched.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted a little, and felt that he seemed to have killed Ji Gang too early.

You should wait for your grandfather to ask Ji Gang the phrase "Is Xie Jin still alive?" before solving Ji Gang.

"But with Zhang Mao's mind, he should be able to understand this sentence, right?"

Thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji subconsciously glanced at Zhang Mao at the side.
