"Brother in law, wait a minute!"
After the discussion, Merton just wanted to leave and was stopped by Li Tai before he took a step.
"It's Xiao... No, your highness King Wei! I don't know what to ask?" Merton was stunned.
Li Tai's face turned black, but when he heard Merton change his mouth, his face slowed slightly and said, "now the discussion of 100 families has just ended. I don't know what's important for my sister-in-law to leave in a hurry!"
Merton didn't think much. Lang said, "Kong huisuo is leaving Beijing for the three Liao States today. I'm going to see him off."
The three prefectures of civilizing bureaucrats are a model of sincere cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism. Kong huisuo is about to leave, and Merton naturally cannot be absent. Naturally, he wants to see him off.
"After the Kong family who pioneered the dictionary!" Li Tai's eyes flashed. Kong huisuo has recently become famous in the Tang Dynasty. Once his dictionary was published, it was widely praised. Almost all students have one, and Chang'an City alone is in short supply. In addition, he is determined to go to a foreign place to test and promote the concept of homonymy, which is even more praised.
"I admire people with knowledge and ambition most. How can I miss such a great talent? I will regret it all my life." Li Tailang said. He followed Merton into a car as if he were familiar.
Merton had no choice but to wave his hand and order Tie'an to set up a carriage and take Li Tai to the east gate of Chang'an city.
Outside the east gate, a mighty Confucian convoy gathered, and many people came to watch. After all, Kong huisuo's reputation is like thunder in Chang'an city.
The transformation of Tianxia private schools into primary schools is not done by a handful. First, some teachers are stubborn and unwilling to transform at all. Second, teachers still need time to adapt to the new textbooks. Fortunately, the textbooks in primary schools are not difficult. These are not difficult for those scholars and children, and the final transformation time of primary schools is scheduled for the beginning of spring next year.
Kong Yingda's transformation of the primary school is naturally steady, but Kong huisuo's pilot popularization of homonymy is a little impatient. He has just revised and convened nearly 100 Confucian scholars who can speak Mandarin in Chang'an City, and is ready to set off immediately to Liaoren three states.
"Brother Mo, your highness King Wei!" Kong huisuo saw Merton and Li Tai coming, and immediately got up to meet each other.
"Brother Kong, don't blame me. I'm late!" when they arrived, Kong huisuo was about to leave.
"It's not too late, boy. It's really a surprise that brother Mo can send you off." Kong huisuo originally thought that Confucianism and Mohism broke up again, which has made them strangers. Unexpectedly, Merton came to send you off.
Merton shook his head and said, "the struggle between Confucianism and Mohism is a hundred ideas, which does not affect our personal friendship. Moreover, since the Han and Wu dynasties, Confucianism has only respected Confucianism, but Confucianism has made no progress and made no achievements for hundreds of years. Now, hundreds of schools of thought are contending and various theories and ideas are emerging. Isn't it better to have such a magnificent era?"
Kong huisuo couldn't help smiling bitterly. I'm afraid only Merton dared to accuse Confucianism of making no progress for hundreds of years, but he also admitted that what Merton said was the truth.
When other Confucian scholars heard Merton's words, they couldn't help but glare at Merton. Seeing a renewed debate, Kong huisuo quickly led them aside and said, "your highness and brother Mo, please come here. We'll have a private chat."
When the three went to the pavilion, Kong huisuo looked at Merton and said, "this trip of Liao people to three states is a matter of sincere cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism. 100 Confucian scholars from Confucianism have arrived in Qi. I don't know how brother Mo's commitment is prepared?"
Merton laughed and said, "brother Kong, don't worry, Confucianism is so simple, and Mohism will not disappoint Confucianism. As early as three days ago, Mohist village has donated 10000 yuan to the Red Cross as a fund for the construction of school buildings in the three Liao states. At the same time, ten Mohist children will then arrive in the three Liao states to guide the production of the Liao people, so as to help the people in the three states get rich."
Li Tai fuzhang said: "the cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism is really a match made in heaven. Once the people of the three Liao states are rich and educated by saints, they will be determined to turn to the Tang Dynasty. Over time, there will be no doubt that the Liao state will be in harmony with the Central Plains and no longer have the heart of rebellion."
"Thank you for your kind words," Kong huisuo said.
"Once the pilot project in liaozhou is successful, it will certainly be promoted all over the world in the future. At that time, the world will be the same, and China will be a family. What a grand occasion," Li Tai said excitedly.
Kong huisuo was also excited. However, he suddenly sighed: "if you want the world to be homonymous, you must create a method to make the world homonymous. It's a pity that Kong is still helpless and has no clue about collecting the world's books."
Seeing this, Li Tai laughed and said, "brother Kong, that's a fan of the situation! The so-called person who needs to untie the bell when tying the bell. If there are experts here, why should brother Kong be modest?"
As soon as Kong huisuo's eyes lit up, he couldn't help looking up at Merton. Yes! It was Merton who proposed homonymy at the beginning. If he wanted to open the deadlock, I'm afraid his hope would fall on Merton.
Morton smiled bitterly and said, "brother Kong collects the wisdom of a hundred people and collects the world's books, but he is still helpless. What can I do? You think Mo is omnipotent!"
When Kong Hui Thornton looked bitter, he couldn't help saying in a loud voice, "if brother Mo doesn't have a clue, Kong is afraid to make the plan of ending the old state."
I'm afraid he will popularize homonymy all his life. If he really can't find a way to homonymy, I'm afraid he will use the promotion of one Liao state to another, and he can't complete it all his life.
When Morton saw Kong huisuo pretending, he couldn't help but say, "well, don't pretend. Although there's no way, Mo still has a clue."
"I knew brother Mo had a way?" Kong Hui said with a change of face.
Morton shook his head slightly and said, "brother Kong has searched all over the books of the Tang Dynasty, but he has not searched all over the world. You should know that the Tang Dynasty is not the only civilized country in the world."
"Foreign books!" Li Tai flashed in his eyes and blurted out.
"Foreign books?" Kong huisuo frowned. He was an authentic Confucian and devoted himself to the knowledge of Confucius. Even if Mohism got so much benefit from foreign countries, he still didn't think of reading foreign books.
Merton nodded: "if brother Kong can read books all over the world, he will find that three kinds of characters are widely used in the world. One is the hieroglyphics represented by Chinese characters, the other is the cuneiform characters represented by Persia and other places, as well as the Pinyin characters of more distant western countries."
"Hieroglyphics, cuneiform characters, Pinyin characters." Li Tai was stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many ways for a single character.
Merton nodded: "hieroglyphics are the most common and the most vivid is the sun moon mountain, which is evolved from specific images."
Li Tai wrote slowly on the table of the pavilion with his hand. He couldn't help realizing it.
"The cuneiform is the oldest and the most obscure, but now even the local people of Persian food don't want to use it anymore." Merton couldn't laugh or cry. The cuneiform was completely killed by himself.
"What we're going to talk about today is the Pinyin of the Far West," Merton said.
"Pinyin characters?" Kong huisuo couldn't help but move in his heart and listen.
"Pinyin characters are the simplest. Pinyin characters are both sounds and words, which is of great significance to us. Today, my younger brother will give brother Kong the letters and rules of Pinyin characters of the far western country, hoping that brother Kong can be inspired." Merton finished and handed Kong huisuo a book, which is the characters of the far western country collected by the Mohists for the purpose of translating foreign books.
Kong huisuo solemnly accepted it and said gratefully, "it's a frog at the bottom of a well. I didn't expect such a brilliant culture in the world."
For the first time, as a proud Kong family, he began to pay attention to foreign studies.
"Farewell!" Kong huisuo stood in front of the Confucian motorcade and arched his hands.
"Bon Voyage!" Morton and Li Tai arched their hands.
Before leaving, Kong huisuo suddenly turned around and said solemnly, "if, of course, I take the credit of the dictionary in the court hall, will brother Mo still give my little brother the method of homonymy?"
Li Tai was stunned. He was stunned. He patrolled back and forth on the two people. The boat of friendship between Confucianism and Mohism has been turned over. Will the friendship between Merton and Kong huisuo repeat the mistakes!
Merton said without hesitation, "that's brother Kong's credit. Since brother Kong let him share the profits selflessly, the younger brother naturally wants to find a chance to compensate brother Kong. The Mohists never let their friends down."
Kong huisuo heard the speech and was silent for a moment. He solemnly arched his hand and said, "brother Mo, Kong wrote down this favor."
