Chapter 907

Qin Qiong was more sensitive and noticed this. She arched her hands and said, "dogs and others are so naughty that you are amused. The three came up with lazy ideas, but they are too lazy to do it. Fortunately, after Kong Sheng's painstaking efforts, they can only write a book after a year, otherwise they will cover the Pearl with dust."

Cheng Yaojin also suddenly came over and nodded: "Kong huisuo, I heard that the dog mentioned you and said that you are one of the few Confucian scholars in the Imperial College who can see each other. Sure enough, the younger generation is awesome."

"Thank you for your praise," Kong huisuo said respectfully.

Kong Yingda was relieved. Fortunately, the three mallets rounded the scene back, and the focus of Chaozhong was on Kong huisuo.

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Kong huisuo and said, "since it is Kong Sheng, he has compiled such a valuable book for children all over the world, but he will be a teaching assistant in the Imperial College first. The grade is seven grades higher."

"Seven grade teaching assistant!" Kong Yingda couldn't help sighing. According to his plan, Kong Yingda could be sent to Chongwen hall. In this way, it would be much better than staying in the Imperial College.

Kong huisuo was thinking of thanking him when he suddenly heard Merton Lang's voice: "Your Majesty, wait a minute. I think brother Kong's dictionary has a great merit to be ignored. Your Majesty's reward is suspected of neglecting the meritorious officials?"

"Oh! Great credit? Don't talk nonsense, you boy. If you have a good relationship with Kong huisuo, you can ask for credit for him." Li Shimin warned.

Kong huisuo also looked at a loss. He compiled the dictionary. How many achievements did he know? Where would he make great contributions.

Even Kong Yingda was in doubt. He didn't know what Merton meant by this move.

Merton said proudly, "tell your majesty, if you only rely on the dictionary, your natural achievement is not great. If you are connected with the primary school, it is a great achievement."

"Hum! Talk quickly!" Li Shimin snorted coldly. He hated Merton's betrayal most.

Morton was immediately embarrassed. He picked up a dictionary and said, "Your Majesty, please look at the dictionary. Brother Kong not only used radicals and strokes to sort for searching, but also used phonology to arrange the homophonic parts in order."

"So what?" Li Shimin didn't understand.

Merton laughed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know. The so-called ten miles of different sounds and hundreds of miles of different customs. My Tang Dynasty covers a land of thousands of miles. I'm afraid it's time for the tone. For example, when southerners go to the north and communicate with people, it's like talking to chickens and ducks and casting pearls before swine."

"Rude!" duchuke sneered at Merton.

Merton retorted: "this is a fact. Take your adults for example. They must be elites all over the world. You have stayed in Chang'an City for a long time and naturally speak Mandarin. However, you ask yourself, compared with today's language and childhood language, I'm afraid your local accent has changed!"

Many officials have been silent. They have lived in Chang'an City for a long time. Sometimes when they go back to visit their relatives, they really find that the local accent has changed. The villagers can naturally understand what they say, but it is difficult for them to understand what they say. Sometimes they slowly adapt in a few days.

"What does this have to do with your great achievements?" Li Shimin frowned.

"Of course, it does matter. This dictionary is compiled according to homonymy. If we go further, we should compile this pronunciation according to Chang'an Mandarin, and then let the master teach it to every student by primary school education. In this way, all students in the world learn the same voice. Isn't it the completion of homonymy that Qin Shihuang didn't achieve?" Merton said excitedly.

"Homonymy!"

"Homonymy!"

Merton was like dropping a deep-water bomb, and immediately blew up the calm and wave free chaotang into a choppy sea,

The dignitaries who are not surprised by the honor and Disgrace in ordinary days are now surprised one by one. No one thought that such a grand plan should come from the hands of two young men with weak crowns. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid they couldn't believe it.

Li Shimin stood up excitedly and couldn't help pacing up and down. Qin Shihuang burned books and scholars and promoted tyranny. However, no matter how future generations discredit Qin Shihuang, they can't erase the credit of Qin Shihuang, that is, books are the same, cars are on the same track, unified weights and measures, and the world is one.

This is the feat of Qin Shihuang, which can not be surpassed by any emperor in previous dynasties. Now the Tang Dynasty will be able to realize another plan of world unification, that is, homonymy,

The thought of being on a par with Qin Shihuang is a great temptation for Li Shimin, who pays attention to reputation.

At this moment, Kong Yingda's eyes became inexplicable when he looked at Merton. Originally, Merton messed up Kong huisuo's credit, and he resented in his heart. At the moment, Merton turned his hand and gave Kong huisuo a great achievement.

"There are different dialects all over the world. Homonymy is not only convenient for students to communicate all over the Tang Dynasty, but also a powerful tool for education. For officials to take office in different places, when a capital official first comes to take office in different places, even the local words don't work. How to govern the people? If homonymy doesn't have such inconvenience." Merton added another fire.

Many officials nodded one after another. They came to Chang'an City from all directions and felt it inconvenient to speak. I'm afraid they will encounter the same situation when they go to another place. If the world is homonymous, there will be no obstacles.

Merton said again: "In addition to educating the people of the Tang Dynasty, it also works wonders for all ethnic groups in the border area. Since ancient times, how many barbarians have invaded China, and now they are settled? Not all of them are Chinese integration. However, such integration is passive and potential. If we take the initiative to set up primary schools in all ethnic groups of barbarians, teach Chinese characters, speak Chinese and promote Chinese etiquette, when these teenagers grow up, understand etiquette and speak Chinese With the same language, writing the same words and wearing the same clothes as us, even if they are blonde Hu people, how can you say that he is not Han? "

Officials nodded one after another. If a blonde hu man wore a Han suit, they thought he was just bathing in monkeys and crowns. If he opened his mouth and spoke fluent Mandarin, he would naturally feel cordial.

"Take the repeated rebellions of various bureaucrats in Southwest China as an example. The biggest reason is that the language and customs are different and the communication is not smooth. If chaotang opened the primary school to every village and taught them the Mandarin that can be used everywhere, it will change customs and customs for a long time and quietly integrate into China. At that time, Huayi will not be an empty talk." Merton said excitedly.

"I'm afraid it's not as easy as mohou!" Du Chuke couldn't help laughing back.

Merton said proudly, "if one generation cannot succeed, then two, three and five generations. As the saying goes, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, within a hundred years, even Tuyuhun, just conquered by Datang, can become the most loyal and inseparable land of Datang. This is the Centennial plan of Datang."

"A centennial plan."

For a moment, Li Shimin's heart pounded. This is the best weapon for domestication. In this way, every place conquered by the Tang Dynasty, just carry out it according to this, and it will certainly give China a firm foothold in a hundred years.
