Yan Baiwei quickly finished his approval and showed it to her: "It's Xue Fenglian's. It's okay. I'm one of my own."
Tang Shijin stood up silently and retreated silently. Then when Yan Baiwei went back, he found a large framed banner in the bedroom, with flying and phoenix handwriting saying: "I will never drink again!! Stand here."
As proof!!”
Yan Baiwei laughed for a long time, and then he asked her: "You always use this vertical stroke to add a dot, what is this?"
When he asked, Tang Shijin remembered that there was still no punctuation at this time.
The earliest literati used sentence reading and punctuation. Later, there were small symbols such as one vertical line and two vertical lines. For example, for a person's name, a straight line is added to the right of the person's name. For a place name, two straight lines are added to the right of the place name.
However, it is not widely used and is mostly a personal habit.
Therefore, for beginners, just learning to segment sentences is an important basic skill.
It is said that historically, punctuation marks did not appear until the late Qing Dynasty, but for her, this kind of punctuation marks, especially question marks and exclamation marks, are indispensable for expressing expressions.
When I have time to write it down later, I will give it to Tao Chengqi to take a look at, and then ask him to make a note to promote this, so that everyone can easily understand it when reading.
Tang Shijin thought to himself while answering him: "Humph! Why should I tell you!"
Yan Baiwei smiled and sat down next to her without asking any questions.
Seeing six identical little dumplings lying in front of me, it felt really happy and wonderful.
If Tianbao looks very much like Tang Shijin, these six little dumplings look more like Yan Baiwei, especially the eyebrows, but they are more "handsome" than Yan Baiwei and have less strong lines.
But without exception, they are all eyelash serums!
The child's eyelashes are long, dark and dense, and they are all white and pink. The eyelashes are like small fans covering them, and their pink lips are wrapped from time to time. It really makes the old mother's heart break.
melt away.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, just watching the babies sleep in silence.
Then Tang Shijin stood up: "Just look at them!"
She stood up and went to the cubicle, took a pen and wrote a letter to Tao Chengqi.
Nowadays, she is no longer Wu Xia Amon. She is very good with the brush. She draws every symbol as standard as a printed letter. Then she explains how to use it, but the words at the end are more sloppy.
After I finished writing, I took it to Yan Baiwei for a look, and then asked someone to send it to Tao Chengqi.
Then Tao Chengqi picked out some of the most commonly used ones, such as the pauses and periods that are currently in use, and then added exclamation marks, question marks, colons, quotation marks, book title numbers... This kind of thing, and in addition, numbers were added to be used.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and equal signs.
But all kinds of brackets, slashes, etc. are not required, and things like @, #, and % are not written by Tang Shijin himself, so there are not many in total, and it is easy to remember.
Later, at Tang Shijin's insistence, ordinary brackets like () were left, and then it was settled and Tao Da helped with the folding.
Yan Baiwei agreed.
Then Tang Shijin asked people to post it, and then distributed it to various government offices along with the newspaper.
Later, some pamphlets were printed, all written in standard block letters, and there were many example sentences taken from the Four Books and Five Classics. They were sold in bookshops, and people were asked to spread rumors that the imperial examination would be used in the imperial examination three years later.
New punctuation.
So the literati immediately started to study actively.
Punctuation was born out of necessity and solved a problem that has long troubled everyone. Therefore, there is not much resistance when it is promoted, and it is much smoother than the original promotion of Arabic numerals.
This is all for later.
At this moment, Tang Shijin handed over the letter and said to Yan Baiwei: "I heard that the maritime affairs department's certificate was not approved?"
"Yes, no approval, no money." Yan Baiwei was now more and more calm about having no money, and said: "You can't get money for these things. In short, let's do things first, attract investment and so on, hurry up and call people
Go ahead and do it, don’t waste business opportunities. As for management and control, let’s send people there first, whether it’s the governor’s office or the prefect’s office, stay there temporarily, and we’ll talk about it in two years.”
Tang Shijin sighed: "It's really... I want the horse to run, but I also want the horse not to eat grass."
Yan Baiwei also laughed: "Just keep it up for a while, and the Tatars will be defeated."
"After the Tatar War, there is also maritime affairs, all of which are money-consuming." Tang Shijin thought for a while and asked him: "Do you think we should engage in national debt?"
Yan Baiwei asked: "National debt?"
Tang Shijin explained this concept to him.
In fact, to put it simply, it is a bond through which the state raises financial funds from the people, signs an agreement, provides certificates, and upon maturity, the principal will be repaid and interest will be paid.
Because it is issued by the state, it has extremely high credibility and is very safe and secure.
And now there is a God of Wealth in Daqing. The more you believe that this God of Wealth is a true god, the less worries you will have.
Tang Shijin said: "I think we can do something about it. We can do it in the name of the Finance Cabinet and set policies. It can be signed for three to ten years. It should be able to be relieved in ten years, right?"
Yan Baiwei thought carefully for a long time: "It should be possible. It's an expedient measure."
Tang Shijin said: "Then I'll ask Wang Shenxing to discuss it, decide on the specific details, and then write a summary. You can pass it up first. If it works, it will be fine. If it doesn't, it will be considered a vaccination. It will be easier to do in the future.
."
Yan Baiwei responded.
Then Tang Shijin sent someone to summon Wang Shenxing.
Wang Shenxing is really smart and has a very upright attitude. He is following Tang Shijin anyway, so no matter what Tang Shijin proposes, he will take the initiative to think about "how to do it" and rarely think about "should we do it".
question.
So the two of them quickly came up with the details.
While they were doing this, Yan Baiwei asked someone to notify them and went directly to discuss the matter with the cabinet.
Tang Shijin originally thought that since Yan Baiwei had just taken money from them, they would definitely want to drag others into trouble... and they would not be too opposed to this policy.
Unexpectedly, every one of them strongly opposed it.
Including the peach aspect, or in other words, especially the peach aspect.
Because they feel that it is absolutely unacceptable for the country to be associated with the word "debt". The people will become creditors? It would be too damaging to the dignity of the royal family, and the dignity of the royal family cannot be desecrated. Moreover, if this news spreads, it will also damage the heaven and earth.
The majesty of the country... blah blah blah.
This is a matter of concept.
Literary men originally valued this very much.
Tang Shijin said: "So, I have no money, what do you think I should do?"
Then they talked about the same old talk, why not open the sea, why stop shipbuilding and reduce expenditure...
Tang Shijin said: "In fact, in the current situation, there was a demon concubine who deceived the Holy Heart before. It is really difficult to get to the emperor. This is just a temporary measure."
She just wanted to directly say that the cowardly emperor and the evil concubine were responsible for everything.
But everyone still strongly opposed it.
Everyone's attitude was so clear that Yan Baiwei couldn't stand up to it, so he could only put the matter on hold for the time being.
Tang Shijin privately told Wang Shenxing: "You should prepare the agreement first. I think it will be used sooner or later."
Wang Shenxing responded.
In the evening, Tang Shijin also said to Yan Baiwei: "Tell me, these people want to save face and suffer."
Yan Baiwei said: "It's not just a matter of face, they..."
Before he finished his sentence, Wai Tou Yan San said: "Master, there is an urgent message."
