Chapter 118 Brother Emperor, Times Have Changed (1/4)
The first page of "Simplified Chinese Great Seal Comparison Table" has two words of strokes written on the title, and the content is one, 丿,丨,...
The second page of "Simplified Chinese Characters and Dashun" is written with radicals and radicals, and the content is 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华, 华,
The third page of "Simplified Chinese Characters and Large Seals" is the comparison between simplified Chinese characters and large seal scripts. A simplified Chinese character can often be compared with three or four large seal scripts.
The First Emperor read it very seriously.
After about a cup of tea, Emperor First Emperor closed the book.
The First Emperor thought carefully for a while and said, "Cheng Cang, is this the word you invented?"
"I'm just a transporter, this is the word in my dream."
"Whatever you say." Emperor Shi patted the books in his hand, looked at Ying Chengqiu with a shocking look, and said, "To create a kind of text with one's own strength, it is still beyond the current text system."
"It seems that Li Si praised you and said, "I have never seen anyone like you, I have never known that someone like you in history, I have never heard of rumors, I have not heard of you." Not only did he not exaggerate, he underestimated you. If this word is published in the world, you will be a saint who surpasses the sages of all generations and is comparable to Cangjie's ancestors."
Ying Chengzu narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, don't praise me, just say 'but'."
"Haha, you guy." The First Emperor shook his head and laughed.
"But you have overlooked a very important issue. You must do the unified text and do it as soon as possible. Who will do it? Are you and I? No, you need those who read and read to do it."
"Your simplified Chinese characters are from strokes to radicals, and then from radicals to simplified Chinese characters. These simplified Chinese characters that are promoted from shallow to deep, are more concise than the seven-nation characters. People who do not understand the characters are much simpler to learn than the seven-nation characters."
"However, who teaches these people who don't know the words?"
The First Emperor paused for a moment, and saw that there was no change on Ying Chengxiang's face, nor did he mean to interrupt.
He frowned and asked and answered, "It's the scholars I mentioned earlier. I can cut off the heads of those scholars, but I can't force them to learn your simplified Chinese to pass on the world."
"The world is too big. If your simplified Chinese characters want to become the unified text of the world, you must have a group of people who have thoroughly learned your simplified Chinese characters."
"And this group of people will take at least five years to train. These five years are the five years of the world's reunification, and it is too important to the Qin Dynasty. I can't afford to wait, and the Qin Dynasty can't afford to wait."
"The emperor's meaning is to stop me from promoting simplified Chinese characters, just like I was blocked from promoting movable type printing technology back then, is it like paper?"
The First Emperor patiently explained: "Why did I stop you from promoting movable type printing and paper? It is because once you implement it, everyone in the world will be able to read and practice calligraphy. The people's wisdom will be great, and the people's wisdom will be strong."
"The Book of Shangjun says: The people are strong and the country is weak, and the people are weak and the country is strong. When the people are strong, the country will be weak. Only when the people are weak can the country become strong."
"A strong people are not easy to rule. When they start to think about the right or wrong laws issued by the court, it means that their obedience to me will be greatly reduced."
"If such a Qin people go to the battlefield, can they still be brave and fearless? The Qin people are afraid of death, so how can the Qin people dominate the world? You read more books than I do, and you should understand this principle."
Ying Chengzu sat opposite Ying Zheng on the ground, with a rare sitting position.
"The Tao Te Ching says: Those who are good at governing in ancient times did not use it to make the people clear, but would use it to fool them. The people are difficult to control, and they have a lot of wisdom. Therefore, governing the country with wisdom is a thief of the country. Instead of governing the country with wisdom, it is a blessing for the country. Lao Tzu believes that those who are good at governing the country in ancient times did not let the people be wise, but wanted the people to be ignorant. The people are not easy to manage because they know a lot. Therefore, opening up the wisdom of the people is a traitor of the country. If the people do not let the people be wise, it is a blessing for a great country."
If Ying Fusu was here, he would definitely be very surprised.
In his eyes, this uncle who only knows sophistry actually has such a side.
But the First Emperor did not show any surprise, but was very used to it.
I smiled and said something.
"I haven't seen you so serious for a long time. It seems that you really care about this. Keep going, I'll listen."
"The Guanzi says: Jun Ming, believe that his facial features are pure, honest, honest, foolish, and willing to trade and industry. It means what the five types of people in a strong country should look like, the king is wise, the king is trustworthy, the officials are honest and solemn, the peasants are ignorant, and the merchants are willing to do things."
"Here, Guanzi also believes that the people are ignorant and are better for the country. Confucius said: The people can be used to do so, but they cannot know it. Confucius said: The people can be instructed, but they cannot let them know why they are asked to do so."
The First Emperor knocked his index finger upside down, knocked down the table, and interrupted Ying Chengqiu's words again.
"Cheng Chuang, what you said today is a bit biased. You just need to convince me to use your simplified Chinese, and you don't need to repeat so much. I know all of what you said, and I have always done this - a poor man and a weak man and a strong country."
"It's easy for me to convince the emperor to implement simplified Chinese characters. Isn't the emperor just afraid that it will be difficult for the simplified Chinese characters to spread simplified Chinese characters without the first group of people who know simplified Chinese characters?"
"No," Emperor Shi sighed and said, "Your eyes have seen too far, and have left this era. The simplified Chinese characters you designed are so simple. If you don't say it, I will not regard them as a word."
"This is indeed the best character for the people in the world to learn characters, but it is destined to be unable to spread it. There are not many scholars in the world who will spread it for you. I plan to use Li Si as the main body and the doctoral office as the supplement to simplify the large seal script into small seal script. Promote the world. From now on, people in the world need to write small seal script, and the writing is the same as the characters."
A genius is a step ahead, and a madman is a step ahead.
Ying Chengqiu had to be at least a hundred steps ahead of the Qin Dynasty.
These hundred steps are two thousand years.
"If I tell my brother, I see it even further than the brother imagined?" Ying Chengqiu chuckled and said, "If I train a group of people who know simplified Chinese characters, will the brother of the emperor still let Li Si create small seal script?"
Has a group of people who know simplified Chinese characters been trained?
If this is true, the simplified Chinese characters will be published everywhere, and people will learn this characters more easily than learning the characters of the seven kingdoms.
This text takes five years to understand, but it can be realized over the years. In this way, the Qin Dynasty can be determined at least three years in advance.
The First Emperor widened his eyes, unbelievable.
He held Ying Chenghua's hand hard and said seriously: "How many people have you taught? If I don't make small seal scripts, it's not enough to rely on the number of Chang'an Jun Mansion alone!"
"I just asked me how Tunliu lost? I was indeed defeated by Guo Kai's five thousand men and did not deceive the emperor. But even though I lost, one of the fifty thousand men was not dead."
Ying Chengqiu stretched out five fingers.
"Can the 50,000 Daqin Ruishi who have thoroughly understood simplified Chinese characters be able to serve as the post of distributing simplified Chinese characters?"
During the Qin Dynasty, the population of the world was between 25 million and 30 million.
The ratio of 50,000 people to the total number of people in the world.
It is between 1:500 and 1:600.
In other words, it seems difficult to teach 500 or 600 people to achieve the goal of identifying simplified Chinese characters for the whole nation.
But in fact, this is not what we should do.
First Emperor asked for the same text, not to ask everyone in the world to know simplified Chinese characters 100%.
That would be equivalent to enlightening the people and strengthening the people, which is inconsistent with the idea of weakening the people that the First Emperor has always implemented.
The purpose of the book of the First Emperor's writing was to ensure that the people of the six countries no longer think about the six countries, work together to maintain the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
To achieve this, the proportion of people who recognize simplified Chinese characters can be controlled within a certain range.
This range is that the number of people who originally read literacy in the world can increase by about three or five times - as long as you suppress the six kingdoms' writings, you will succeed.
And to do this, 50,000 people are enough.
"Enough! Enough! Enough!"
The First Emperor looked extremely excited, and three consecutive words were enough.
Compared with those scholars, the Qin Emperor trusted more.
Some great Qin scholars promoted simplified Chinese characters for him and gathered the hearts of the people, so he felt at ease.
"It's good to lose, it's good to lose!"
The First Emperor walked around the bookstore excitedly.
"If you are not defeated, how can you hide 50,000 soldiers under Lu Buwei? Cheng Chuang, how did you achieve a defeated battle without a single soldier? No, right! Qin law stipulates: Generals are captured and killed, and all their personal guards are executed. How could you not have a single soldier? You were deliberately captured by Guo Kai?"
The battle of Tunliu, which sent Guo Kai to the peak of his power, people's hearts and royal family, defeated 50,000 Qin army soldiers with 5,000 Zhao army.
As soon as this battle came into the Changping Battle, the resentment accumulated in the Zhao people's hearts.
Guo Kai became a national hero of Zhao State, and from then on, he held great power in Zhao State.
Is it because Guo Kai is in trouble with Zhao? Is it because Cheng Cang is one-handedly manipulating?
Ying Chengqiu looked at the First Emperor who gradually turned from his excited state and had just occupied the high ground, and was immediately shocked to drive him off.
"Everyone can get what you need. I will be my first playboy in the Qin Dynasty, and he will be his first war god in the Warring States Period."
It turned out to be a sage...
How far does Cheng Cang see?
The defeated battle to destroy Zhao is unheard of!
How could Cheng Chuang conclude that Guo Kai can reach the top?
Can you undermine King Zhao Qian?
Can you order the assassination of Li Mu?
Can you sell Zhao State to seek emblem?
Is there only one who can predict the future?
The First Emperor was still shocked.
Ying Chengqiu didn't take this matter seriously at all.
The world has settled, and it is time to turn the emperor's thoughts around.
A weak people and a strong country?
No!
The people are rich and the country is strong!
The policy of fooling the people must never be implemented again!
"This is not important, let's talk about the topic that was previously disconnected. I do not agree with the theory of weak people and strong people in various schools of thought. I think they are all wrong."
Ying Chengzuo was very regular, and he tapped on the table one after another, and said with a smile: "Brother, the times have changed."
