Chapter 656 At this moment, just like then and then

In May of the 14th year of innovation, almost all the people who got the latest newspapers were surprised to find that a set of phonetic symbols called "Chinese Pinyin" began to appear in those newspapers, and many key articles were marked with related phonetic symbols , but it looks weird.

However, although it is very strange, after a deep understanding, everyone was surprised to find that these phonetic symbols are not too amazing, because with a simple study, anyone who can read can read a standard official Chinese according to the pinyin table - which is better than the phonetic symbols. Compared with the previous Fanqie method, it is much stronger.

Compulsory education, fast literacy classes, Chinese Pinyin, when these measures come together, the power of the formation will gradually be revealed. Of course, this process is still very slow, but any insightful person can slowly discover it. Once another 20 years pass, and the next generation arrives, I am afraid that the Kyushu Tongfeng that the emperor said will really be able to be created.

At that time, no matter where you go to any place in Dachu, you don’t need to worry about language barriers. Everyone can use Mandarin to communicate, which is more conducive to the formation of a whole in Dachu and the spread of the national spirit and national concept.

When it comes to the army, officers and soldiers from all over the world can communicate smoothly through official dialect, instead of the past, where only fellow villagers can form an army with fellow villagers, which can also be better. To prevent the localization and warlordization of the army.

Therefore, in this matter, the vast majority of people have a welcoming attitude, and only a few people will find it troublesome and cumbersome. However, Ning Yu also set up some rewards in this regard, such as the standard fluent Mandarin Participants will be rewarded with a sum of money, and have the opportunity to become an envoy for the promotion of Mandarin and go to other parts of the country to promote Mandarin.

For the people of Dachu at present, it is by no means easy to become an official, so if they can become an official by speaking official words, it can be regarded as a good opportunity.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is simply the greatest monarch in the world, just like the First Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. The changes he brought to this world are not just as simple as what we see today. In other words, he is this The person in the world who can truly integrate Chinese and Western ideas.”

In Huangcheng Public School, facing the students below, Ernst said such a sentence with a little respect and exclamation.

As a visiting professor of Huangcheng Public School, Ernst often comes to Huangcheng Public School to teach children in his spare time. Speaking of where.

Of course, this is also the request of Emperor Ning. He hopes that Ernst can enable the next generation of rulers of Dachu to come into contact with some Western thinking patterns since childhood. Man, is your enemy.

All the students sat upright below and listened carefully to Ernst's explanation. Although they were only in their teens, most of them had already received elite education, so they also had their own way of thinking. , and also selectively absorbed Ernst's explanations.

Therefore, soon someone raised his hand and asked a question, and the person who asked the question was the current First Prince Ning Chengze.

"Mr. En, can you explain in more detail?"

Ernst smiled and nodded, he waved his hand to tell Ning Chengze to sit down, then he glanced around the crowd and said softly: "Do you know what the biggest change in Da Chu has been in the past ten years? "

Soon, a row of little hands went up, and each of them seemed to want to answer.

"Those copper and silver dollars that everyone uses!"

"It's those trains that travel thousands of miles every day!"

"It's more and more stable prices!"

One after another voices gradually sounded, and the smile on Ernst's face became wider and wider. He began to look at Ning Chengze with some expectation.

Ning Chengze had been in a state of contemplation before, but after feeling Ernst's gaze, he raised his head and said firmly: "The change I feel is that everyone's energy is becoming more and more intense. Get more and more excited!"

Ernst smiled slightly, nodded, turned around and wrote two large Chinese characters on the blackboard behind him.

"change".

"Actually, what each of you said is quite correct. It's all about the major changes we've experienced in the past ten years."

Ernst sighed a bit, "More importantly, changes have flooded almost every corner of this country, and even reflected in everyone, whether in terms of culture, ideology, or science and technology. It has achieved an unprecedented development—and all of this was almost led by His Majesty the Emperor."

"For example, the unified language this time is unimaginable in Europe itself, because in the current Europe, people not only have different languages, but also different characters, and there are many differences in systems, and there are also many differences in ethnic groups. , but for Da Chu, all of this is not a problem, the people of the entire Da Chu, in my opinion, are actually the same type of people under the influence of the same culture."

When he said this, Ning Chengze showed a hint of understanding on his face, he seemed to have understood something.

"Your Majesty's thinking has far surpassed this era, and also surpassed the constraints of culture and race, and this is something that cannot be bestowed by any kind of education in the world—"

Ernst couldn't help but paused, and his tone became a little hesitant, "From a certain point of view, His Majesty is more like a prophet who is born with knowledge, which is what Chinese people often call a 'sage'."

In fact, as the "sage" in Ernst's mouth, Ning Yu is doing a very important thing, that is, painting a portrait of himself. He is wearing a neat military uniform, with a long sword on his waist, straight Sitting on the chair, with a somewhat majestic smile on his face, he stared ahead with piercing eyes.

Lang Shining focused on painting the portrait of the emperor. Since this portrait will appear on the new edition of silver and copper coins, and even in all classrooms across the country, he couldn't help but be cautious. He hoped to use his brush to paint the emperor's face. All the details can be displayed on the canvas, and in the process, any trembling of his hands will destroy this masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

"call--"

Finally finished the painting, looking at the lifelike portrait in front of him, Castiglione couldn't help feeling a bit of pride in his heart, he bowed his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's ready."

Ning Yu, who had been posing for a long time, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Wearing such a suit of clothes and maintaining a posture for a long time is simply too much for people, but in order to keep his heroic appearance, he will be tired if he is tired , but it is nothing.

However, when the attendants below presented Castiglione's work, Ning Yu was a little surprised. It wasn't that Castiglione didn't look like the painting, but that the charm was too similar, which made Ning Yu feel a little dazed.

In Ning Yu's distant memories, it seems that he in his previous life probably passed through at this age, but now, he is a little confused as to which one is the real him.
