Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 323 Emperor Yi’s surprise

"The ultimate spiritual weapon!"

When Deng Chanyu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stared at Yuzhu, wishing she could carry him away on the spot.

This is the best spiritual weapon.

Although she is considered a well-known master, the sword in her hand is only a middle-grade spiritual weapon.

Shang Qingjun shook his head helplessly and smiled, but she caught the key word and said: "Simplified Chinese characters, dictionary inheritance? So, these two characters are dictionary, right?"

The clerk looked at Deng Chanyu and subconsciously blocked her sight.

The look in this little noble man's eyes was so terrifying.

"Yes, my lord."

Shang Qingjun looked at the word 'dictionary' on the jade pillar and said thoughtfully: "These two words are indeed concise, and the strokes are square, which is more conducive to writing. But what does dictionary mean? And what should we do? Get the inheritance?"

There were no dictionaries during this period, and no one even counted words.

She was also confused about this unfamiliar word, and probably had some guesses in her mind.

The clerk said: "It's very simple. Just stay calm and touch your forehead to the jade pillar, and you can get the inheritance."

"it is good!"

Shang Qingjun nodded, she stepped forward, took a deep breath, then slowly closed her eyes, stretched her head forward, and finally pressed it against the jade pillar, which felt warm and smooth to the touch.

Soon, she felt a majestic flow of information pouring into her mind.

"This is the dictionary!"

Shang Qingjun suddenly opened his eyes with a look of shock. He not only simplified all the words, but also marked them with pinyin to avoid differences in accents in different places.

Each character is explained in detail and cataloged by radicals and strokes for easy query.

The dictionary quotes scriptures and explains each word in detail.

It can be said that if you master this dictionary, you can basically become a qualified scribe, comparable to the great Confucian scholars who read poetry and books in the past.

Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, a genius creation.

Dictionaries, even more so.

Shang Qingjun was keenly aware of the value of simplified Chinese characters and dictionaries, which could be said to be of immeasurable merit to the Great Shang Dynasty, and even to the entire human race, directly following the Zi Sheng Cangjie.

Although human writing is common throughout the ancient world, its pronunciation has already varied widely. The reason is that there is no pinyin and can only be taught orally. Of course, various deviations will occur.

Shang Qingjun said excitedly: "Who created this simplified Chinese character, and who compiled the dictionary?"

The clerk replied: "The simplified Chinese characters were proposed by His Highness King Qi, and were adapted from existing texts together with other celebrities. This dictionary was also proposed by His Highness, but it was compiled jointly by many celebrities."

"King Qi, it's King Qi again!"

Shang Qingjun was a little absent-minded and murmured to himself: "Could it be that he is really a living saint?"

So far, Yin Qi's contributions have caught up to or even surpassed those of the ancient sages.

Deng Chanyu curled her lips.

She was only interested in cultivation, and her reading was limited to literacy.

This time she came with Shang Qingjun because she wanted to enroll in Yin Shang Martial Arts Academy.

.........

royal palace.

Zichen Palace.

"nice one!"

Emperor Yi opened his eyes and took away the inheritance jade slip stuck on his forehead. He couldn't help but praise: "The simplified Chinese characters are very good, the pinyin is also very good, and the dictionary is even better. This achievement is directly catching up with Cang Sheng, which is enough to make you His name will last forever.”

To be honest, he had to review a large number of memorials every day, and he was very tired from reading and writing them. After having paper, the workload has become much lighter.

If bamboo slips were used in the past, the taste would really be incomparable to outsiders.

Yin Qi smiled reservedly and said, "My son is able to achieve this because of my father's teachings. Your name is also mentioned in the history books."

"Hahaha!"

Di Yi smiled heartily and said: "You can make me happy, but as you said, the credit lies in you, how can the history books forget me, I have benefited a little bit. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "This is what I should do. Father, I am here to discuss with you the promotion of simplified Chinese characters and dictionaries. I hope to promote them throughout the world."

Emperor Yi frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "My son, I am very happy that you have such ambitions. But the world is so big. Do you know how much manpower and material resources it will cost to fully promote it? And ordinary people work all day long. Tianye, so what if I can read?”

It is undeniable that Emperor Yi is a qualified human emperor and treats the people of the world well. But this kind of kindness was condescending. In fact, he didn't really care about the people of the world. He was more concerned about the rule of the great merchants.

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said: "Father, it doesn't take much manpower and material resources to promote it all over the world."

To educate the people and promote social development, literacy is the most basic.

This dictionary is not just a dictionary, it can be said to be a small encyclopedia, recording a lot of knowledge that can be used in daily life.

Di Yi became interested: "Oh, how to say it."

Yin Qi said: "In order to promote the dictionary, I asked Yang Immortal to refine a special inheritance jade slip. As long as it is pasted on the forehead, even ordinary people can obtain the inheritance. So as long as we refine a batch of these By inheriting the jade slips and distributing them to each county, and letting county officials carry out the work from village to village, comprehensive promotion can be completed soon."

This kind of inherited jade slip has no limit on the number of times it can be used and is most suitable for literacy.

One county is enough to distribute one.

Emperor Yi did not look so happy. Instead, his expression became more solemn. He looked at Yin Qi and said solemnly: "My son, have you ever considered the consequences of doing this? You will offend the nobles of the world."

The content of the dictionary is too rich, and many civil servants in the court may not have this amount of knowledge.

In the past, nobles were able to serve as officials not only because of their noble status, but also because they had knowledge that ordinary people did not have.

If the common people all over the world become low-profile celebrities with the ability to serve as officials, wouldn't this be digging into the roots of the nobility?

Of course Yin Qi took Emperor Yi's doubts into consideration.

It will definitely not work if you force yourself to do it. Then the world will be in chaos and the battle to become a god will begin in advance.

But this step must be taken, so we can only compromise.

He said seriously: "Father, I have also considered what you said. I think we can reform the administration of officials first and divide it into two categories: officials and officials.

Officials are the masters, and officials are subordinates.

The chief officer is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and the staff is responsible for executing specific affairs.

At the same time, it was stipulated that nobles should be officials and common people could only be officials. "

In layman's terms, when a noble is an official, he is only responsible for talking, and it's easy;

Common people are officials and are responsible for all kinds of dirty work.

Di Yi lowered his eyebrows in thought, nodded slowly and said, "This is a good idea."

Although the foundation was dug up, his status was not shaken. I think the nobles of the world would be able to accept it. On the contrary, after they had enough staff, their work became easier.

But Emperor Yi didn't know that Yin Qi had a deeper plan.

When the time comes in the future, he will relax this restriction, allowing officials to become officials, and completely opening up channels for class advancement, so that the entire society will be dynamic.

By then, he had mastered absolute force and had the support of the people all over the world. If the nobles wanted to resist, they would be seeking death.

Di Yi finally said: "Since you brought up this matter, you should be responsible for it."

"Yes, Father!"
