Chapter 790: Cao Apu asks about pinyin

Zhao Hui was bent on pushing out the dictionary, but he forgot about pinyin.

If you want to be able to use a dictionary, pinyin is indispensable.

However, teaching pinyin is much simpler than simply teaching Chinese characters.

If you study it carefully, you can learn it in two or three days.

"Let people promote pinyin."

Although in the colleges in Youzhou and Jizhou, students are learning pinyin, and some people have already learned it.

But apart from these students, not many of the people outside know how to do it.

It's just that if you want to promote pinyin, it's still more difficult.

Those adults don't have any intention to learn, and children are uncertain.

Zhao Hui really let people teach, even if it's free, there may be no one to learn.

"Lord, this matter can't be rushed, and it can't be forced, just let it be." Guo Jiadao.

Jia Xu also agreed with Guo Jia's words, and said: "The matter of pinyin, it is better to learn from the academy, these students learn, and they can also teach others after they go home." If those who did not enter the academy and have faith to study, they will naturally go to those students. ”

Zhao Hui thought about it and thought that what the two of them said was right.

Learning this stuff is not compulsory.

Especially the current big man, on the contrary, it may backfire.

"The dictionary is printed normally, and it must be published in the newspaper, and the pinyin thing is also promoted."

It is not forced to let people give up their farm work to study, but propaganda is indispensable.

At least let people know that there is such a thing as pinyin and a dictionary.

As long as they learn pinyin, plus a dictionary, they can learn all the words without a teacher.

And Zhen Mi's name has appeared in the newspaper many times.

"The next issue of the newspaper will be doubled in print run, and let Wei Shuang take it to the south."

Zhao Hui wants to expand his influence as soon as possible.

Youzhou Minbao and Jizhou Minbao are now mainly seen by the people of this state.

The people of other states basically can't see it, that is, they rely on some businessmen to bring a little.

will pay attention to the Youzhou Jizhou People's Daily, or Cao Cao and Liu Bei and other princes.

Although they know the information published in the newspaper, they are not afraid of being known.

However, a newspaper can let them know more about the livelihood of the people in Youzhou and Jizhou.

Then comparing the news brought back by the spies, they could judge Zhao Hui's strength more accurately.

"My lord, these two are the latest newspapers to come out in the north."

Every issue of Youzhou Jizhou People's Newspaper is released, someone will quickly whip up and send it to Cao Cao as soon as possible.

Cao Cao saw the words on the largest page at a glance.

"Dictionary? Pinyin? ”

What is it?

"And Zhen Mi? A woman made up a dictionary? ”

Cao Cao felt his worldview shattered.

Women are nothing in Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao didn't look down on women very much.

It was his own daughter, and it was also for the sake of profit, and he married the puppet emperor Liu Xie.

"Who is this Zhen Mi?"

Cao Cao naturally wouldn't remember the name of a girl who was still in the boudoir.

At that moment, someone told Zhen Mi's father and grandfather, as well as Zhen Tu.

"It turned out to be the daughter of the Zhen family, but I looked down on it."

Cao Cao is broad-minded, so naturally he doesn't care about a girl.

He was just curious that a girl had compiled a dictionary.

"Where's this dictionary, can you bring it?"

"Yes."

The spies bought a newspaper in Jizhou and knew that Cao Cao would care about the dictionary at that time.

However, the dictionary is now printed in small quantities, although Zhao Hui's price is 2,000 yuan, but the spy used 3,000 yuan to buy a copy from others.

Cao Cao looked at it and said, "Can anyone wait for this pinyin?" ”

There was silence, but no one could answer Cao Cao.

The spy hurried back, and there was no time to learn.

"Lord, I heard that the students in Youzhou and Jizhou are all learning pinyin first and are reading and writing."

Although the spies have not learned, they still know a little.

"Go find someone who can pinyin."

Cao Cao didn't recognize pinyin, and he couldn't see the beauty of this dictionary.

Cao Cao was looking for someone who could speak pinyin, and someone posted a notice on the street at the moment.

There are also people asking around.

In just half a day, a man was brought to Cao Cao.

is a businessman, and his children go to school at Youzhou College.

When the child comes home, he will read for an hour, and he also learns a little on the side.

"Do you know pinyin?"

"The villain will be a little."

He was just a small businessman, and when he saw a big official like Cao Cao for the first time, he was very nervous.

I just said a few words when I was chatting with other businessmen, but I didn't expect to be found out at this time.

After all, when you go out, you are bragging about how much you earn, how many women you have, and how smart your children are.

He just bragged a few words.

"Can you read?" Cao Cao asked again.

"The villain knows a little, but not much."

As a businessman, although he is only a small businessman, he occasionally uses notes.

So it's still a little bit recognizable.

"Give him the dictionary."

After Shang Jia looked at it for a while, Cao Cao said again: "If you have this book, can you know the words on it?" ”

"Probably yes."

Shang Jia was still nervous, but there was some excitement in his tone.

In fact, he has expanded his business several times, but even because he doesn't know much, he doesn't dare to make a move.

I am afraid that I will be deceived by others, and I will be empty of money and goods at that time.

Whether you recognize it or not, you can verify it right away.

Cao Cao asked people to point out a few words, but this businessman read them all correctly.

"It really works?" Cao Cao frowned.

In this way, literacy becomes simpler.

However, this first edition of the dictionary only has pinyin, no radicals.

Zhao Hui is planning to spend two or three years, and he will launch a radical.

Usually encounter a word you don't know, you can easily find it in the dictionary according to the radical, and then know how to read it and what it means.

"What do you think?"

Shang Jia had already been taken down, Cao Cao asked the others.

"As soon as this dictionary comes out, it will be no longer difficult to recognize words." Xun Yu Dao.

Sitting here, I have experienced the discomfort of reading when I was a child.

"Yes, in the future, Youzhou and Jizhou, I'm afraid that even the old farmers can really take the sage's article and read it." Xun Yu sighed.

It's very melancholy.

Shang Jia was taken outside, and when he saw the crowded street, he finally became less nervous.

He said with a flattering face: "My lord, what kind of book was that just now?" ”

"Why are you asking this?" The guards looked wary.

Shang Jia hurriedly stuffed a little money into the hands of the guards, and said: "That book is good, with that book, the villain is not afraid of not being able to recognize words, not afraid of being deceived, the villain just wants to know where to buy this book." ”

The guard put away the money and said with a straight face, "You go to the north and ask." ”

He didn't know either, but he did know that it came from the north.

But the money is received with peace of mind.

Shang Jia didn't ask for his money back, although the guard didn't say anything.

But Shang Jia also thought of it.

"Pinyin is taught by the college, and this time I will go back and ask my son."

With the publication in newspapers, dictionaries and pinyin have become widely known.
