Chapter 360 This simplified Chinese character is invincible!
"Haha! Everyone, don't be shocked after reading this!"
"My colleagues, this simplified Chinese character of His Highness the Prince is unprecedented and unprecedented, and it can solve the biggest problem of our Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right! This simplified Chinese character is simply invincible!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites said with a smile.
Officials from various ministries looked at the officials from the Ministry of Rites with strange eyes and thought to themselves, these people usually behave very steadily, why are they praising His Highness the Crown Prince's Simplified Chinese characters so much today?
"Xue Shangshu, let me take a look at these simplified Chinese characters first!"
Du Buju, the Minister of Punishment, spoke directly.
Xue Bingtian smiled and handed the simplified characters to Du Buju. Du Buju picked up the simplified characters and just glanced at them. At that time, he turned to stone and his whole body became tense.
"This! I seem to recognize these simplified Chinese characters!"
"No! I have never learned these simplified Chinese characters, but I can accurately understand the meaning of every word. Xue Shangshu, what is going on?"
Du Buju looked at Xue Bingtian and asked.
Xue Bingtian smiled and said nothing. Li Jiantai on the side couldn't help it and asked: "Du Shangshu, what is the magic power of these simplified characters?
Can it shock you so much?"
As he said this, he snatched the simplified Chinese characters and after glancing at them, he was no longer calm. Was this fucking invention invented by His Royal Highness?
Such simplified Chinese characters are perfect both in terms of glyph shape and degree of simplification. If it were left to someone from the Ministry of Rites, they probably wouldn't be able to make it in ten years!
"This! It's amazing! I say it bluntly, if the officials of the Ministry of Rites were to do this, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to make it in ten years!"
Li Jiantai sighed.
Xue Bingtian suddenly changed his expression, looked at Li Jiantai with dissatisfaction and said: "Li Shangshu, what you said is a bit unsatisfactory. What do you think our Ministry of Rites can't do in ten years? We can do it!"
"Haha! Can you, the people in the Ministry of Etiquette, make such perfect simplified Chinese characters based on their abilities?"
Li Jiantai said with a sneer, and then gave the simplified Chinese characters to Li Guozhen.
Li Guozhen took it in his hand and studied it carefully, then stroked his beard and said: "Yes! Li Shangshu is right, officials from the Ministry of Rites will never be able to make such simplified characters!"
"Such writing can be easily learned even by children as young as five or six years old. In this way, the spread of writing will be accelerated!"
Hearing what Li Guozhen said, a smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. Although Li Guozhen was greedy for money, he was still knowledgeable and could see the beauty of simplified Chinese characters at a glance.
"Ahem! Let me take a look too!"
Ni Yuanlu coughed twice and said.
Li Guozhen rolled his eyes at Ni Yuanlu and handed him the Simplified Chinese Encyclopedia. Ni Yuanlu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The shock in his heart could not be greater.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The account books that our Ministry of Industry needs to record are very complicated. If we use simplified Chinese characters, we can reduce a lot of workload!"
"Your Highness, I would like to ask that the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs be allowed to learn simplified Chinese characters first, and that all the files in the Ministry of Household Affairs from now on be written in simplified Chinese characters!"
What Ni Yuanlu considered was very realistic. First of all, the records of the Ministry of Accounts were very complicated. Any account book had hundreds of pages, and they were densely filled with traditional Chinese characters.
Traditional Chinese characters are very complex, cumbersome to write, and take up space. If you use simplified Chinese characters, you can further reduce the font size.
In this way, the original account book can record more content, and officials in the Ministry of Accounts can save a lot of trouble.
"This simplified Chinese character will eventually be promoted. If the Ministry of Revenue wants to learn it first, I naturally have no objection."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Ni Yuanlu bowed her hands respectfully and handed the Simplified Chinese Characters to the next official.
After half an hour, almost all the officials in the court read the simplified Chinese characters. They were all shocked. Once the simplified characters were introduced, wouldn't the characters they had previously learned be abolished?
"Your Highness, I have a question, and I would like to ask Your Highness to wait for an answer."
One person kneeled on the ground and said.
"go ahead."
Lin Fan said.
"Your Highness, once the simplified Chinese characters are implemented, where will the characters we have learned before go?
Do we want to discard it directly?"
The official said in a deep voice.
this……
Facing this person's question, Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "The characters used in our Ming Dynasty at this time, I want to name them traditional characters."
"These traditional Chinese characters are more complicated and difficult to learn, but as you can see, there are similarities between these simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters!"
"Whether you have learned traditional Chinese characters or simplified Chinese characters, you can understand another kind of writing. So, should we learn simplified Chinese characters or traditional Chinese characters?"
"You have always had a misunderstanding in your mind. Writing is actually the carrier of culture and knowledge. As long as it can pass on knowledge and culture, what does this carrier look like and what is the difference?
Therefore, the text should be as simple as possible!”
"However, traditional Chinese characters also have their advantages, that is, when written with a brush, they are majestic and majestic that simplified characters do not have. Therefore, traditional Chinese characters should also be retained."
"Therefore, what I mean by this prince is that everyone must learn simplified Chinese characters, which are the mainstream characters of the Ming Dynasty, while traditional Chinese characters are supplemented and those in need can learn them."
After Lin Fan said this, the eyes of all the ministers present shone brightly!
What His Royal Highness the Prince said today is so reasonable!
"Your Highness, what you said today really made me wait for enlightenment!"
"Your Highness, the implementation of simplified Chinese characters is imperative, but we should not be too impatient. After all, it will be difficult for those literati to accept the simplified Chinese characters in a short period of time!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, those literati are unwilling to accept it. Our Ministry of Rites has many ways to make them accept it! These simplified Chinese characters must be learned by those common people!"
Xue Bingtian said in a deep voice.
Damn it!
Some people actually say that you shouldn’t be impatient about this matter. Don’t be impatient. I am very impatient!
This literacy work is done by people from our Ministry of Etiquette. If we don’t use simplified characters to literacy, do we need you to do it?
Lin Fan looked at Xue Bingtian and said with a smile: "My dear friends, the implementation of simplified Chinese characters is imperative. What I mean is to gather my children over the age of six in the Ming Dynasty to learn simplified Chinese characters!"
What!
Gather all children aged six and above from the Ming Dynasty to learn simplified Chinese characters!
How can this be?
"Your Highness, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is cruel. Not everyone in the Ming Dynasty is qualified to learn writing, and those literati will not accept untouchables as students!"
