Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin knew that Li You had the ability to see the flock of sheep without forgetting, so he was only amazed but not surprised by Li You's unique handling method.

It is also a good thing for Li Shimin that Li You can handle the affairs of the government so well. First, he can feel at ease and not have to support the government, and secondly, it also proves that his vision for selecting candidates is extremely wise.

"What happened today..." Li You took out a folded rice paper directly from his arms, "I must have heard about it after passing through the royal father, so I will ask the royal father to read it for himself."

"This is……?"

Li Shimin unfolded the pile of rice paper suspiciously, and what caught his eye were 60 simple-looking pinyin letters.

Li You smiled and said, "Father, this is the 60 almighty symbols!"

Chapter 452 The benefactor of the poor students (fourth more)

Li Shimin's expression changed when he heard the words: "Is this the pinyin you said?"

"Yes."

Li You nodded, and Li Shimin asked solemnly: "Then you say that these 60 pinyin can spell all the words in the world, is this true?"

"Exactly!"

Li You's answer was full of decisiveness. He walked to Li Shimin's side and pointed his finger on the rice paper full of pinyin.

"This is a very standard method of cutting rhymes. In order to save time, Erchen will only demonstrate a few of the sounds for the emperor."

Li You moved his fingers to "g" and "ong" and said, "Father, if you know what happened that day, you must know that I asked Mr. Li how to teach the word 'gong'?"

Li Shimin nodded "Nine Seven Three" and said hesitantly, "Could it be that these two ghost talismans put together are the pronunciation of 'Gong'?"

Li You applauded: "Exactly, congratulations on learning to answer quickly!"

"...Why do you make me want to beat you so much?"

Li You decisively skipped this topic and introduced: "This is the pinyin 'gōng' of the word 'gong'. Besides, the 'gong' of the male and the female, the 'gong' of kung fu, and the 'gong' of the Ministry of Works ', can be expressed by doing this 'gōng'!"

"Does this make it easier to remember? However, the subtlety of pinyin is much more than that!"

After all, Li You picked up the pen and wrote the symbols of the four tones in front of Li Shimin.

"Father, please see, this 'gōng' uses the first tone," Li You pointed to the first tone, "but similar to the 'gong' of the arch, and the 'gong' of the tribute, How can we say these words?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin touched his chin and pondered. In the past enlightenment, this problem was indeed difficult to solve, because the pronunciation of these words was similar, but the tone was slightly different.

"Wait," Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and looked at Li You in disbelief, "Do you want to say that these words can all be represented by the same pinyin?!"

"Exactly!"

Li You focused on the third tone, and demonstrated: "Father, please listen, this tone represents ups and downs with twists and turns, and it is placed on the pinyin of 'gong', which is 'gǒng', which happens to be the arch.' The pronunciation of arch'!"

"And the fourth tone, the father should also be able to guess, and when combined with the pinyin, it is 'gòng', which is the pronunciation of 'gong' that can represent tribute!"

When Li You finished saying the example of these few words, Li Shimin even trembled involuntarily, he was shaking with excitement!

"Just a few simple pinyin, you can express countless words, it's just... It's simply amazing!"

Li Shimin was really surprised by the idea of ​​pinyin, even astonished, because in theory, it is indeed a universal way to express the pronunciation of all Chinese characters!

And compared to the original method of memorizing pronunciation, this method is simple and fast, just like "Thousand Characters", it is the most suitable enlightenment education to spread to the whole world!

After a long time, Li Shimin calmed down and let out a sigh.

"Sure enough... I know that your kid never fights unprepared battles, and you must have a sure way to win before you cheat people!"

"Sure enough... I know that your kid never fights unprepared battles, and you must have a sure way to win before you cheat people!"

Li You's innocent eyes widened: "Huh? Father, why do you feel that this is not right when you hear it? Mingming is doing a great deed for the benefit of the world, why is it in your mouth? It has become a scammer?"

Li Shimin snorted: "You dare to feel your conscience and say that you have no intention of watching Li Aiqing's jokes?"

"Only, only a little bit..."

Li You moved his eyes away with a guilty conscience, and he also wanted to use this to strengthen his control over the court. Don't everyone think about jumping out and attacking him. He is not Li Shimin, and he doesn't enjoy the hobby of being bullied. .

If Li Shimin knew what Li You was thinking at this moment, he might be the first to kill Li You.

"Anyway, go ahead," Li Shimin sighed helplessly, "I think that once you come up with this method, plus the movable type printing method, the poor scholars in the world will surely make a tablet for you every day, right? "

As Li Shimin said, Li You invented the movable type printing technique and gave the pinyin method, both of which are great deeds that are greatly beneficial to the poor students!

However, it is precisely because of this that Li Shimin can almost foresee that the resistance to Li You from the rich and powerful will be even greater in the future.

"Anyway, the person who oversees the country is Yang Jie, so I won't worry about these things."

Looking at the back of Li You leaving, Li Shimin thought silently in his heart, it was a lot easier to have a son to help him for the first time.

……

The efficiency of the Ministry of Rites is still very high, especially under the full operation of Li Xiaogong, the Minister of Rites, two groups of ignorant children came over the next day.

Because there are only ten days for the competition, in order to show the effect more clearly, Li Xiaogong specially chose ignorant children who did not need to go to the ground or work, and learned things faster.

Looking at the children who were at most seven or eight years old, Li You also had a headache.

"I'm really not very good at dealing with bear children..." Li You couldn't help but look at Kong Yingda, "Master Kong, the important task of teaching them is left to you."

"Hey!"

Kong Yingda always felt that disaster was coming from heaven, but Li Xiaogong said indifferently: "It's okay, His Royal Highness the King of Chu can choose anyone he wants."
