The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 168 Wu Zetian Wants to Find a Man to Rely on
The two women confronted each other because of him, and Chen Jingke was actually quite happy in his heart, but he really didn't like this situation.

But he didn't reveal his relationship with others, and it was hard to stop him, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.

Let the two of you fight, as long as you don't fight, you can do whatever you want.

So he greeted everyone as if nothing had happened, and learned about the process of dictionary editing.

Yihe and the others felt a little disappointed when they saw that there was no way to eat melons. Miss Wu is usually vigorous and smart, and it is rare to see her such an irrational side.

But he also knew the reason to eat melons rationally, so he sat around and introduced the current situation to Chen Jingke.

Yihe happily introduced the fruits of everyone's labor: "Now the work has reached the third step, which is also the most difficult step. We estimate that it will take half a year to complete it."

"If everything goes well, we can see the finished book by the end of the year, and if it doesn't go well, it will be next year..."

The compilation of the dictionary is divided into four steps. The first step is to sort all the words in the order of pinyin. With the foundation of compiling "Yu Yun Zhu", this step is completed very quickly.

The second step is to sort all the characters according to the number of radicals and strokes. That is to say, this dictionary is used for both pinyin retrieval and radical retrieval.

The third step is to annotate all the characters. The main reference books are ancient dictionaries such as "Erya", "Shuowen Jiezi", "Yupian" and "Qieyun", plus Hongwenguan's annotated version of "Nine Classics", " Books like Tao Te Ching.

What Yihe and others are doing now is this step, and it is also the most important step.If there is a problem with this step, all the previous work will be in vain.

If this step is done well, this dictionary can be truly popularized in the world.

The fourth step is to improve the index. After confirming the text of the dictionary, link the number of pages with the previous pinyin and radicals.

Four steps to complete is a complete dictionary.

Talking about business, Wu Shu over there didn't have time to get jealous with a little girl, so he came over to participate in the discussion together.

Now that she fully understands the meaning of the dictionary, if she compiles it well, she will be able to become a world-renowned talented woman, thus getting rid of the status of the prostitute of Duke Ying's mansion.

And fame can also allow her to control her own destiny to a certain extent, instead of just looking at people's faces like now.

However, as the writing progressed, she felt more and more strenuous.One reason is that she herself is still young, and her knowledge is not that deep; the other reason is that these assistants are not as good as her.

So when Chen Jingke asked if there were any difficulties, she said: "My knowledge is limited and I am not familiar with classics, and a lot of knowledge needs to be searched for a long time before I can confirm it."

"A lot of time was wasted on repeatedly flipping through the book, which seriously slowed down the progress. Yihe just said that it can be completed by the end of the year. According to the current situation, I think it is a bit difficult."

"If possible, I hope to find a few more learned people. This will not only reduce everyone's pressure, but also speed up the writing process."

Yihe and the others naturally knew what was going on, and felt a little ashamed.

Chen Jingke looked at the crowd, and naturally knew the pressure they were under, and said:
"It's not because I'm stingy and unwilling to spend money that I don't find other scholars, or because I can't find the right person, but because I can't."

"We don't need people with ordinary knowledge. When people with real knowledge come, can you command them? Scholars have arrogance. Are they willing to work with you?"

"If you really find a few well-educated people, I'm afraid you will all be driven away in a short time, or you will be sent to serve tea and water to run errands."

"I won't emphasize the meaning of the dictionary anymore. Are you willing to give up this opportunity to be famous in the world and leave your name in the history books?"

Thinking of this possibility, everyone shook their heads again and again, expressing their unwillingness.

Chen Jingke continued to appease: "I know that everyone is under a lot of pressure, and I know better what level your knowledge is at. Writing a dictionary is really difficult for you."

"So I have repeatedly emphasized that you must not rush to do this work, and don't set time for yourself."

"Everyone is still young and has plenty of time. There is no need to rush for half a year or three months. You should work while ensuring rest time and ensuring accuracy."

"At the same time, the process of compiling a dictionary is also a process of learning for you. Do you feel that your knowledge has greatly improved compared to before?"

Everyone nodded. The progress was indeed very great. They felt that their progress in half a year was greater than that in the previous ten years.

Chen Jingke said: "That's it. You can learn to improve yourself while compiling a dictionary. You can do both. When the dictionary is compiled, your knowledge can also be improved by several levels."

"At that time, no matter where you go or what you do, you don't have to worry about it. That's the real world where I can run."

Everyone was fascinated by what was said, and Zhang Ping kept staring at Chen Jingke with his beautiful eyes. He was so kind.

When she was happy, Yihe said: "I will never leave Zixiao Temple, this place will always be my home."

"That's right, that's right, we will never leave Zixiao temple to betray the real person." Others also said one after another.

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "I know your loyalty, but if you have real talents, I hope you will go out."

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. With the corresponding ability, one should be brave enough to take responsibility. It is far better to benefit the common people than to spend a lifetime in Zixiao Temple."

"Forget it, these are things for the future, let's compile the dictionary first. I still say the same thing, don't worry, just take your time."

Everyone said loudly: "Yes."

After some reassurance, everyone's morale was finally restored, and even Wu Shu felt a sudden lightness all over.

However, she was more sober than others, and she looked at Chen Jingke very complicatedly.

Before, she found that everyone was working hard and morale was getting lower and lower, and she tried to make it up, but the effect was not satisfactory.

Even she herself was in this predicament, which is why she proposed to bring some people over.

However, the problem that he couldn't solve by himself was reversed by him in a few words.

She prides herself on being smart, but she still has to rely on him to stabilize people's hearts at critical moments. I have to say that this is a blow to her.

Through this incident, she also became more aware of his inner beauty. Maybe he has many shortcomings, but there are more advantages.

He also realized the shortcomings of female identity more clearly. Everyone believed what he said, and it hardly worked when he said it himself.

No matter how smart a woman is, it is difficult to convince the public when she has no man behind her.

She also thought of her experience after coming to the capital. She went to visit Gu Jiu as the prostitute of Duke Ying's mansion, but she didn't get any response.

But when she gained a foothold in Zixiao Temple, many people who had rejected her before came to show their favor. Could it be that those people suddenly realized their conscience?
As smart as she is, she naturally knows that it is not, but she has a connection with Zixiao Temple, which makes her have the value of use again.

At this time, for the first time, she began to seriously think about finding a man to rely on for herself.
