The three looked at Liu Bian in surprise, full of anticipation.

Chapter 98 I don't know how to read the sentence, Cai Yan enters the palace

"Before that, I will play a little game with you."

After all, he picked up a pen and wrote on paper.

The three of Cai Yong were full of curiosity when they saw that the emperor was trying to trick him.

After a while, Liu Bian wrote a line.

"This is a story I heard among the people. The content of the story is roughly like this: A stingy landlord hired a teacher, and the two directly signed a contract. The content of the contract is this line written by me. You come have a look."

Liu Bian turned the paper around.

I saw it said: no chicken, duck, fish, or vegetables are enough for the daily meal.

There are no punctuation marks in this era,

Therefore, it is very difficult for people who have not read the book to understand the meaning of a sentence.

There is a saying in "Shi Shuo", "If you don't know how to read a sentence, you can't understand it if you are confused."

The "sentence reading" here is a sentence sentence.

If the punctuation is not good, there is no way to understand the meaning of the sentence.

However, Cai Yong, Tang Mao and Zuo Bo are both scholars, and their literary attainments are not low.

Seeing this sentence, Uncle Zuo immediately said, "Your Majesty, this teacher has suffered a great loss."

Cai Yong and Tang Mao frowned. They knew that His Majesty's examination of them was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

“How come you see?”

Liu Bian asked with a smile.

Zuo Bo didn't know it was a trap, so he pointed to the sentence written by Liu Bian and read it.

"The daily meal can be without chicken, duck, or fish, and a plate of green vegetables is enough."

"Look, it's okay without chickens and ducks, and it's okay without fish. The landlord only gives him a plate of green vegetables every day. Mr. Teacher, isn't it a loss."

This sentence is most fluent when read like Zuo Bo.

So when everyone looks at it, they will immediately conclude the sentence like this.

The smile on the corner of Liu Bian's mouth became wider and wider, and he looked at Cai and Tang, "Cai Qing, Tang Qing, do you also think that Mr. Teacher has lost money?"

Both of them are very smart, and they are models among contemporary scholars.

When Liu Bian asked such a question, there must be a deep meaning in it.

So I split the sentence again, and I quickly understood it.

"According to Zuo Ziyi's understanding, it is true that the teacher has lost money. But another way of reading it is that the landlord has lost money."

Cai Yong read it again,

"Daily meals, no chicken, duck is fine, no fish, meat is fine, a plate of greens is enough."

"If you understand it this way, the landlord will give the teacher chicken, duck and fish with a plate of vegetables for every meal."

ha?

Uncle Zuo was dumbfounded that he could still play like this.

You scholars have deep routines.

Fun and interesting.

Liu Bian thought it was very funny, so he said another sentence.

"It's also a story. Because of the rain, a person stayed at a friend's house for a long time. The friend wanted to drive him away, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he wrote this sentence." Liu Bian wrote a line on the paper.

"Do you think your friend can successfully drive him away?"

Everyone looked down and saw that it said: If it rains, you will stay with guests, but if you stay with me, you will not stay.

Uncle Zuo read it subconsciously, "What does this friend mean: keep guests on rainy days, will I stay?"

This tone is also not afraid of offending friends.

With the lessons learned from the past, Uncle Zuo was thinking about the deep meaning of this sentence.

Seeing that Cai Yong quickly came to his senses, he said with a smile, "Ziyi's words are wrong. What my friend meant was: keep guests on rainy days, stay on rainy days! I won't stay?"

The meaning in front is: God will keep you, but I will not.

Changing the pronunciation completely changes the meaning: God has left you, can I not?

"Although these are two interesting little stories, they also illustrate the importance of sentence reading. If Mr. Teacher is a bad person, then he is very likely to use this to cheat."

Liu Bian's expression gradually became serious.

He knew that if he could not punctuate sentences, it would undoubtedly bring enormous pressure to study.

Thereby reducing the output of talents.

"Your Majesty means that you have a way to prevent this phenomenon?"

Cai Yong hurriedly asked.

He is a scholar and has taught many students, so he knows the importance of sentence reading.

Could it be that His Majesty just said that he would give us a good thing, but how did you end the sentence?

Expectation!

Liu Bian picked up a pen and added punctuation marks to the two sentences just now.

"Isn't this much clearer?"

Cai Yong and the others were dumbfounded, it's that simple?

But it does,

After His Majesty clicked a few points casually, as long as he knew the words, he could understand the meaning of these two sentences!

There is no ambiguity!

"I call this punctuation."

"In this way, the comma with a small tick is used as a pause in the middle of the sentence. Such a small circle is a period, which represents the end of a sentence..."

Liu Bian carefully introduced the punctuation marks to the three of them.

As long as they learn it, when the book is printed later, it can be reedited and punctuated.

The three of them are very smart, and they will know it as soon as they hear it.

After a few minutes of digestion, they immediately understand the value of these punctuation marks!

"Your Majesty, with your punctuation marks, future students will save a lot of trouble when studying!"

Cai Yong is deeply admired!

"The merit of this move is no less than Cangjie's invention of characters!" Zuo Bo flattered him at the right time.

And the system also issued rewards at this time.

The improvement of papermaking, the advent of movable type printing, and punctuation marks, these three things together,

It directly allowed him to win the 8.4w National Games!

Next,

Liu Bian started a discussion with the three on the educational ladder.

There is no systematic education system at present, ordinary people have very few opportunities to learn, and most people do not know how to read.

It would be great to have the opportunity to learn a few words, and there are no educational ladders.

but,

Liu Bian felt that since he wanted to cultivate talents, he had to establish a sound education system.

Basic and unfounded should not be confused.

Moreover, talents in all aspects must be cultivated.

Military, internal affairs, industry, agriculture, manufacturing, etc. are all necessary industries for the development of a country.

With the cultivation of the system, if you use your expertise and only learn one subject, then the learning effect will be greatly improved.

Talking with Liu Bian, Cai Yong and Tang Mao seem to have opened a new door, and their understanding of education has risen to a higher level.

They were full of admiration for the emperor's eloquence.

After returning home,

Cai Yong told his daughter what happened today,

In his mouth, the Son of Heaven has become a god in the sky, omniscient and omnipotent.

At the age of 50, as long as the emperor is mentioned, he will be excited and adored like a child.

but,

Because he wanted to keep it a secret, he did not mention movable type printing and papermaking.I just played a game of not knowing what to read with my two daughters for a while.

"Zhao Ji, what do you think of Your Majesty?"

During dinner, Cai Yong suddenly started talking about serious topics.

Although His Majesty didn't say a word, he didn't forget His Majesty's intention to promote him.

Cai Yan's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Father, don't you think His Majesty is very good?"

The implication is: Marriage matters are all decided by the father.
