As all matters develop steadily, Zhao Xun began to turn to education construction. In Zhao Xun's view, the three most needed items are now, the popularization of Arabic numerals. This thing is more convenient than the current Chinese characters.
The second is the Chinese pinyin, which is the basis for accelerating the recognition of literary characters by young people. This is always more convenient than letting children record complex men. The next one is the use of punctuation marks.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xun was extremely uncomfortable with books that had no punctuation. It was very inconvenient to read. Also, the vertically printed books also made Zhao Xun's head look as big as a bucket, extremely awkward. Look at it
Then, I couldn't find it.
Today, the director of the Academic Department and dozens of officials were all gathered by Zhao Xun to discuss education reform.
Yu Jing, Director of the Academic Department, didn't know what Zhao Xun summoned them to do. Speaking of which, although Zhao Xun attached great importance to this aspect, he rarely paid attention to him. Yu Jing was no longer the same as before, and had great ties to Zhao Xun.
The prejudice even began to surrender to Zhao Xun. To be honest, Yu Jing now saw the difference between the people under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army and the past. People from all over the country regarded Zhao Xun as the best person in the world, and Yu Jing still
What's your opinion? What's more, the other party recovered the three eastern prefectures, which made the Hu Hu in Youbei dare not breathe. Who can compare with Yan State now?
Although Yu Jing no longer objected to Zhao Xun, his repeated refutations to Zhao Xun have also made some people dislike him. He was praised as a high-ranking scholar in the past and no longer looked like a great scholar.
Some people even complained about him, and Yu Jing could only smile bitterly.
"Everyone, from today on, your Academic Department will be changed to the Education Department, which will work full-time education. Education is the foundation of the country and opens up the foundation of people's wisdom."
"Of course, I'm summoning you to come today, so of course I'm not just about changing my name. I have a few ideas now and want to discuss with you. You are all virtuous and talented people among the literati of Youzhou, and they are also the entire Youzhou.
, a model of literati in northern Hebei. If you have any opinions, you will also put forward them accordingly later."
"Please give orders to the Grand Governor!" Yu Jing said first.
"The first one is this!" As he said that, Zhao Xun wrote the simple nine simple numbers one to nine in front of everyone.
"What's this?"
"I call him a number!" Zhao Xun said the man corresponding to each number. This is very simple, no different from a man. Everyone present was not surprised, because you can also draw a few numbers at will.
Say the man who corresponds to him comes.
But immediately after Zhao Xun said the numbers after ten, these people realized that just these nine simple symbols can form all the numbers, and more importantly, they are simple and clear.
Later, Zhao Xun talked about addition and subtraction and multi-digit addition and subtraction. These people are not fools, and they will quickly understand this simple and clear method of counting.
Yu Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Grandmaster, in this way, the data can be recorded clearly and simply. Moreover, this is easy to learn and understand and can be taught to primary school children."
"Since you said this, in the future, this number will be added to the teaching system, which is a must-learn."
Zhao Xun will not recalculate any report if he looks at it in the future.
"The second one, I call it Chinese pinyin." As he said that, Zhao Xun asked his personal guard to bring some alphabets marked by himself.
Yu Jing and others were still waiting for Zhao Xun to explain these symbols that they couldn't understand.
Zhao Xun then introduced the Chinese pinyin in detail. This is not complicated by numbers, just read it out and then you will understand it.
Chinese pinyin plays a great role in popularizing literacy and primary education. It allows beginners to quickly distinguish Chinese characters, especially young people, and do not have to force memorize unfamiliar characters.
However, Chinese Pinyin is a system that only writes pronunciation and cannot replace Chinese characters. Articles written entirely in Chinese Pinyin are difficult to understand. Therefore, it is not a formal way of writing, but just a helping of reading.
Even so, the change brought about by Chinese pinyin is also very significant.
"What do you think?" Zhao Xun couldn't help asking when he looked at these people and didn't speak for a long time.
Yu Jing then said, "The Grand Commander and the Great Talent, but it will not be completed in a short while. We also need to teach the gentlemen of various academies and then compile textbooks..."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "This is only used by children and beginners. For those who read countless books, they naturally don't need it. Speaking of how to edit the textbooks, just compile these two into the basic textbooks of the Enlightenment Academy. All things needed
, the Government Affairs Department will cooperate.”
"Then the Grand Governor, what else is there below? I just realized now that the Grand Governor is a real talented man!" Yu Jing sighed.
"I? When it comes to knowledge, I'm not a little behind you. I still have self-knowledge about this. As for these, they are just some of my daily thoughts and they are not considered a talent for learning." Zhao Xun shook his head and smiled.
Yu Jing was also impressed by Zhao Xun when he saw that Zhao Xun could admit his shortcomings in front of everyone. If it were others, he would have long since made a difference in what he had promoted.
"The third thing is related to everyone!" This time, Zhao Xun only expressed a few circle symbols.
“Punctuation marks!”
"Any word and sentence have pauses before and after, and have a certain tone to indicate a relatively complete meaning. Pauses before and after or between sentences are expressed in oral language, which are time intervals, and in written language, punctuation marks are used.
Let's express it."
"Just like we speak, a sentence can extend several meanings."
As he said that, Zhao Xun briefly explained the meaning of these symbols again.
"It's like these two symbols! I asked, okay? You answer, okay. The two words, with these two symbols, the meanings of the expression are indeed different. But when writing, with these two symbols, with them.
, it makes people see at a glance.”
"Also, in ancient poems, some verses have obvious intervals, which can also allow beginners to understand well in segments and well. What do you think, what do you think?"
Yu Jing opened her mouth and smiled bitterly: "For the people of the world, it's a great thing. For those who study knowledge, that's..." After working hard to study knowledge, just these punctuation points can make
Many people are in a way that is comparable to them.
"Since you think it is feasible, then do it! The great things that benefit the country and the people must be remembered forever. Haven't you ever thought about spreading your name to the end forever?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Suddenly, the eyes of these officials of the Education Department lit up. Even Yu Jing, who had always been silent, breathed suddenly became much heavier.
"Does it! How can you not do such a thing? If you want to remember the history books, the Grand Commander is the real memory of the history books!"
Seeing these literati looking at him with enthusiastic eyes, Zhao Xun couldn't help but say, "What? Is there a problem?"
"Grandmaster, continue talking!" Yu Jing said.
"You think I am a saint, where do you come from so many things? Just these three things, just promote them. Remember, education is the real thing that benefits the country and the people and will be remembered forever. Who is he
A merit that cannot be erased and cannot be deprived of by no one."
Finally, Zhao Xun mentioned it and asked the Education Department to take charge and change the vertical version of the book to the horizontal version. When Yu Jing asked Zhao Xun what the meaning was, Zhao Xun replied, looking comfortable, suddenly leaving several people speechless
.But then again, looking horizontally, it feels comfortable.
The reason for vertical version is that in ancient times, it was written with bamboo sticks, which became a bamboo slip book. He didn't write it vertically, and there was no way he could do it. But paper books are naturally different.
In the next ten days, officials from the Education Department discussed the issues with Zhao Xun. Where to supplement and improve, they are progressing slowly. There are many people who can do things. After Yu Jing's publicity, some people are not in Xiao.
The literati who served in Guojun also came to participate. Zhao Xun's reputation was also promoted by Yu Jing and gradually spread in the literati system. Even if there were those who were dissatisfied with Zhao Xun, they would still be
I have to accept the exquisiteness of these ideas.
