Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 68 The Nobody in History ([-])

Yang Reform was suddenly very afraid that this man named Liu Jishan would suddenly pounce in front of him.In this way, I will be passive. It is not a good thing for a courtier to die in front of me.I can't escape the reputation of being a "brutal" legend.

"Big companion, feed him some porridge first, it's scary." Yang Reform, an otaku, was really frightened by this Liu Jishan, his image was too scary.His voice seemed to die at any moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen agreed.

……

"The guilty minister thanked His Majesty for the food..." Liu Jishan, who had drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, sobbed and thanked the emperor.Also pleaded guilty.

"What crime are you guilty of? You are the speaker, what do you want to say..." Yang Reform was speechless, thinking: Now you think of guilt, why didn't you think of it then?
"Criminal ministers should not contradict His Majesty, despise His Majesty's authority, should not undermine His Majesty's painstaking efforts, should not oppose His Majesty's advocacy of thrift and frugality, if a humble minister is guilty, please punish him..." Liu Jishan drank some porridge, and the porridge contained The energy must have been quickly absorbed by the body, and the voice of speaking is much better now, at least not so airy.Also a lot louder.

Hearing that Liu Jishan's voice was much louder, Yang Reform was relieved.After thinking for a while, he said: "Today, when you see me, I didn't come to listen to your confession. I heard from my companion that you have something important to tell me. I hope I can redeem your slip of the tongue?" Yang Reform remembered Well, Wang Chengen said that Liu Jishan had something to give him, and he hoped that he would not write his mistakes into the history books.

"...His Majesty, the sinful minister made a mistake in saving paper and shrinking a few sheets of paper into one piece of paper. I also want to share your majesty's worries in this regard, save some expenses for my Ming Dynasty, and redeem my crime... ..." Liu Jishan looked heartbroken.

Hearing what Liu Jishan said, Yang Reform became interested.To shrink several sheets of paper into one sheet, doesn't that mean that small print should be used?Hehe, this kid is going to be the enemy of the literati!Well, indeed, when it comes to promoting small print, I need someone who can stand at the front desk and compete with those literati. This Liu Jishan can be a man.

The promotion of small characters is to save paper and save money. It is also true to attack and torture those old courtiers. Another thing is to write small characters. Characters with many strokes, especially traditional characters (orthodox characters), are quite difficult. Recognition and writing will definitely lead to the rise and popularization of simplified characters. This is also the original intention of Yang Reform to promote small characters. Yang Reform originally studied nine-year compulsory education and learned simplified characters. To deal with it, once the whole article is in traditional characters, it is to torture Yang Reform. Yang Reform feels that it is better to torture others than to torture himself.

Asking the officials to write small characters was just an idea at the time. As a tool to challenge the literati, I never thought that I could change the inherent habits and traditions of the literati for thousands of years.But it's different now. There is someone who is willing to stand in the foreground and fight for himself. Yang Reform feels that this thing can be tried.If it's done, I don't need to worry about Jian Fan in the future, and I don't need to be tortured by Jian Fan. If I fail, I just lose Liu Jishan, and I don't have any loss at all. This is worth a try.

"...That's right, Liu Aiqing, tell me what you think." Yang Reform looked more pleasing to the eye at this disheveled, white-clothed, tired-looking person, and called Aiqing one by one.

"...The criminal thinks that the frugality advocated by His Majesty is a great thing and a blessing for all people. How many literati in the world need to use paper? How much ink do they need to use? If it is as advocated by Your Majesty How much paper can be saved? How much ink can be saved? How much expenses can be saved for the court? It is really His Majesty's benevolent government..." Liu Jishan was excited when he heard the emperor call himself Aiqing Yes, flattering and slapping the emperor without money.Blowing a small "initiative" into a benevolent policy.Return the blessings of all people in the world.There is only one word to describe it: thick-skinned.

"Hehe..." Liu Jishan's flattery was good, and Yang Reform accepted it with a smile. After laughing a few times, he said again: "That's right, Liu Aiqing, using small characters can indeed save money, but it's not enough to just say it. Have you ever thought about how to shrink several sheets of paper into one? Is there any specific way?"

Yang Reform wasn't going to fight in person, he was going to see if Liu Jishan would suit him.The ultimate goal of Yang's reform is actually the same blackboard writing method as modern typesetting, from left to right, line by line, with punctuation in the middle.Of course, this is just wishful thinking of Yang Reform.Yang Reform intends to use this person who took the initiative to come over to try, and use him to fight against the literati, so that he can follow behind and enjoy the blessings, which is much better than standing up and fighting by himself.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty minister thinks that, as His Majesty said, use characters the size of a thumbnail and shorten the distance between characters. In this way, four or five sheets of paper can be reduced to one sheet of paper, which can save the original expenses. It can really save a lot of money for the court, and it is really His Majesty's benevolent government..."

Yang Reform didn't care about his flattery at all. What he cared about was that this person was willing to fight for him with the literati in the world.I don't want to stand up and lead a group of people to do this. It's too tiring. Yang Reform doesn't have the energy and practice to do this.

"Here, Liu Aiqing, you just said that I can't understand for a while, but there is a written paper for me to look at, isn't it clear at a glance?" Saying [-] words is worse than seeing the actual effect once. Yang Reform is the emperor. If you are not a technical engineer, you naturally don't have the energy to "invent" new writing methods with this Liu Jishan.

"Your Majesty, yes, yes, I have already thought about the way to write it, and please have a look at it." Liu Jishan immediately replied happily, the emperor is a little interested in this, that is to say, his "redemption" plan , It seems that it can be successful, and it can also prevent itself from leaving a shameful, ridiculous, and sad reputation in history.Of course, if the emperor is not interested in this, then I am afraid that I have no other way to go besides death. Those who cannot die must change the records left in the history books.

Liu Jishan groped in his bosom for a while, took out a few pieces of paper, held it high above his head, and reported: "Your Majesty, I have prepared a few examples, and combined the things written on three or four pieces of paper into one Write it down on paper, and ask His Majesty to read it."

Yang Reform didn't expect that this Liu Jishan had spent a little time to get a sample for himself, and he became a little interested, and said, "Show it."

Wang Chengen walked over, took the few pieces of paper that were held high above Liu Jishan's head, turned around, flipped through them without leaving a trace, shook them off, and found nothing unusual, and then placed them in front of Chongzhen.

Yang Reform flipped through it, and sure enough, one of the papers was densely filled with words, and the last few were written in the usual way of writing. This Liu Jishan really moved the words on some papers to a piece of paper. The handwriting has also become much smaller.

However, this writing is really not very good-looking, compared with my own handwriting.Some of the traditional characters are much larger than other characters due to too many strokes, which makes people look quite uncomfortable.Presumably the words on that piece of paper also have opinions. Why are you much older than me because they are all words on a piece of paper?This is too unfair.

What's more serious is that there are no punctuation marks, and it seems that this piece of paper is slightly better than ghost characters.Looking at the next few pictures, the handwriting is clear, the typesetting is clear, and the writing is elegant.

Yang Reform frowned, and said, "Liu Aiqing, your words are written on several sheets of paper, but yours is too ugly, you can't recognize it at all! Do you think the officials will agree?"

Liu Jishan also got this item in a hurry, and immediately ran to kneel outside the Meridian Gate, so he didn't have time to perfect this item. Logically speaking, if you don't say anything about the item dedicated to the emperor, If it's done perfectly, at least it can't pollute the holy eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.Liu Jishan quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I wrote this in a hurry, so it is inevitable that there will be some... Please give your Majesty some time, I will write it very well."

Yang Reform thought for a while, and felt that he should help Liu Jishan, and he still needed someone to stand in the foreground to compete with those literati.So he said: "Liu Aiqing, after seeing your spelling method, I have some suggestions, I don't know if you can listen to them or not."

"I report to Your Majesty, I will obey His Majesty's orders and do my best for His Majesty... I also ask Your Majesty to give me advice, I will definitely remember it..."

Now Liu Jishan has no other choice but to take refuge in the emperor and serve as a vanguard for the emperor. Even if he will fight bloody battles with the literati in the world, Liu Jishan has no way out, retreat is death!Liu Jishan worked hard in the cold window for more than ten years, and finally won the Juren, Jinshi, and official, so he died like this. How could Liu Jishan figure it out? Anyway, he is working for the emperor, and it is not a shameful thing, so let's fight Bar.Liu Jishan made up his mind to stand on the emperor's side.
