Chapter 159 The Zhenguan Dictionary

"Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. Cuilan's words have benefited me a lot." Li Shimin said excitedly, "I get Cuilan just like Han Gaozu got a waiter, and Emperor Zhaolie got Wuhou."

"Hehe... The luckiest thing for me as a subject is to meet a wise emperor who appreciates me. I am also very grateful to God Haotian for allowing me to meet a saint." Yue Shan said from the bottom of his heart.

There is absolutely no water in this sentence. He is indeed very grateful to God for sending him to the early Tang Dynasty instead of other dynasties.Only in front of an emperor like Li Shimin, who is so talented and humble, he dared to show his fists.

Generally speaking, compared with the famous monarchs in history, such as Hanwen Jingwu, Li Shimin's character is relatively good, at least he did not abandon his comrades in arms when encountering difficulties.

"Haha...Okay, then let us compose a good story about the harmony between the monarch and his ministers." Li Shimin laughed.

"Yue Shan dare not obey orders." Yue Shan also laughed.

Seeing the two people in harmony, the eldest grandson Wugou also showed a gratified smile.They are not only wise emperors and ministers, but also a good husband and wife.

After that, the two discussed the specific implementation methods, and they agreed that this matter is not urgent for the time being.With the Turkic knife hanging over his head, it is not suitable for major reforms.

Those aristocratic and powerful families who only have family interests in their eyes will not sit still and dare to collude with the Turks to betray the interests of the country and the nation when they are cornered.Under internal and external troubles, Datang couldn't bear it at all.

So they decided to destroy the Turks first, and then they were thinking about reform.

"But it doesn't mean we don't do anything," Yue Shan said. "We can prepare for the reform in advance without revealing the real plan."

"How?" Li Shimin asked.He already had his own plan in mind, but he still wanted to hear Yue Shan's plan.

"The first step is to reset the Guozijian and the Six Schools, and the Confucian scholar will be responsible for the sacrifice of the Guozijian. The second step is to establish sub-schools of the Guozijian in various famous cities in the world." Yue Shan talked eloquently:
"The Taishang Huang Jianguo School recruits only the children of the nobles. In order not to arouse the reaction of the nobles, we will not make any changes. But the rest of the schools mainly recruit the children of ordinary people and poor families."

"In less than five years, a large number of talents can be cultivated. Excellent ones can join the soon-to-be-established Educational Affairs Department to take charge of academic affairs in various prefectures and counties, and those without management skills can also serve as teachers in various local academies."

"In this way, we can not only accumulate experience for future reforms, but also reserve talents. Even if the aristocratic family rebounds, we will not be unavailable."

"Okay, it's a good strategy to seek victory while maintaining stability. Is there anything else?" Li Shimin said in admiration.

His plan was to reset the Guozijian and Liuxue, but he did not expect to establish a sub-school of the Guozijian in the world famous city.Yue Shan's plan went further than his, and instead of being angry, he was happier.

"No one has seen the kind of academy I'm talking about. It's impossible to promote it across the country rashly. There needs to be a pioneer to do it and accumulate experience for everyone." Yue Shan finally brought the topic back to the original starting point: "I'm not talented. , I want to ask for orders to take over the job."

"Isn't this something you begged me to do?" Li Shimin said jokingly.

"No, regardless of whether the saint agrees or not, I have already built the academy, and I am teaching according to my ideas." Yue Shan shook his head and said, "I have other things to do with the saint."

"Oh? I received your big gift, and I am very satisfied. If you have any request, maybe I will agree as soon as I am happy." Li Shimin asked.

maybe?Really picky, Yue Shan couldn't help complaining.I tell you so much important information, can't you speak accurately?
"I have two things. One is to invite the county magistrate of Anyi to teach in the academy, and ask the sage for permission..."

"Wait, who are you talking about? Pei Ju, the county magistrate of Anyi? He went to teach in your dilapidated academy? Did I hear you right?" Li Shimin asked repeatedly in surprise.

"He has already agreed, and the sage just needs to nod." Yue Shan said proudly.

"Tell me first, how did you persuade him to give up being prime minister and go to the academy to teach." Li Shimin asked.

"It's a long story. I compiled several textbooks for the students of the academy... This is a language book. After you read it, I will tell you how to persuade him." Yue Shan handed him the language book.

"Are you still writing the book?" Li Shimin was curious and turned to the book.

He is not surprised at all that Yue Shan wrote books. In his heart, Yue Shan is a monster. Writing a few books can be said to be effortless.A book written on what the two of them said just now must be a shocking masterpiece.

What he was curious about was what these books were about.

When he saw the words in the book just now, he showed the same surprised expression as Pei Ju and Changsun Wugou.

"This word...was written by you?" Li Shimin asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Yue Shan was even more proud.

Li Shimin is famous in history for his liking for calligraphy, and he would spend a lot of money in order to obtain copybooks from famous calligraphers.Even when he died, he had to bring Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Collection to the grave-well, this made all calligraphy lovers want to smash him to ashes.

At this time, when he saw Yue Shan's unique font, he was naturally delighted to see it.

"You write a copybook for me later... No, I will write it later, and I can leave after writing it."

"Ah?" Yue Shan was a little dumbfounded.

The eldest grandson Wugou who was on the side also said appropriately: "Sage, I want Cuilan to teach Lizhi how to write, what do you think?"

The couple made eye contact, and immediately understood what the other was thinking.Li Shimin coughed dryly and said: "Hey, don't ask me about such trivial matters, you can decide for yourself."

The implication was that he agreed to her plan, but he still couldn't bear to put his daughter in someone else's hand, so he changed the euphemism.

The eldest grandson Wugou responded, then looked at Yue Shan and said, "Cuilan, remember, one day out of every seven days will be set aside to teach Lizhi how to write."

"Okay." Yue Shan said dejectedly.

After finalizing this matter, Li Shimin carefully read the book in his hand.Not surprisingly, the rhyming letters stumped him.Yue Shan had to raise his spirits in order to explain.

After knowing the usage of rhythmic letters, Li Shimin, who was not surprised, was shocked again.

"I told Mr. Pei that I'm going to compile a Zhenguan dictionary, which will mark the pronunciation and list the meaning of all the characters in the world with rhythmic letters. I want him to be the chief editor." Yue Shan said.

"Zhenguan Dictionary?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked excitedly.

"Yes, Zhenguan Dictionary." Yue Shan knew why he was so excited.

As the so-called Wenzhiwugong, Li Shimin does not lack martial arts, what he lacks is Wenzhi.He must have had a share of the credit for compiling an unprecedented large dictionary.

What's more, this big dictionary is named after Zhenguan, which is simply putting the credit in his pocket.As for Yue Shan's use of the word Zhenguan without his permission, he couldn't care less about it.

"Okay, I agree. Is Mr. Pei alone enough? If not, I can send more people to assist him." Li Shimin said impatiently.
