"Sir, Changshi has someone send ice over."

"Let it go."

Cao Fuzi pointed casually, the copper basin and the glass jar were each filled with different ice, and Cao Xian, who was only wearing three layers of gauze, had less and less hair, and now he was very distressed when he lost a hair, so he put those hairs away, and then wrapped them carefully. It's not that the hair and skin of the body are subject to his parents, Cao Xian plans to soak the hair that fell out of the body into a brush after soaking it in lime water, and then bring it into the coffin.

That's what he thought, it wasn't touching at all, which made Li Shan and the vast number of knowledgeable children feel that their hearts have been indelible......

"Last month's zongzi were really delicious. Sixty years ago, if you want to eat a honey dumpling, it must be a rich family. Now, what a good time. ”

Smacking his lips without figuratively, the old man smiled, "If it weren't for He Tanzhi saying that the old man should eat less meat, the old man would still want to eat meat for a while." ”

"Uncle Tan is right, Mr. can eat more minced meat. There are also seventeen or eighteen kinds of meat paste in Hanyang City, and Mr. changes it every day to eat, and it can also take a turn for half a month. ”

"When I was young, I had no meat, and I was weak and tight, and the more I was about to die, I felt that I was losing money in this life, and it was really a loss-making business. Now that the old man is outside the city, he is most afraid of meeting a well-informed child, or a butcher who sells pork. ”

"How can the gentleman say such a thing, isn't it good to be knowledgeable?"

"It's good to know how to be well-read, but it's good to be well-read, come here to congratulate the old man on his long life, how do you make the old man happy? The old man still wants to eat braised pork for another ten or eight years. ”

“……”

Others were congratulated on their longevity and 100 years old, which was probably festive and happy, but Master Cao was exempted, and he would be exactly 100 years old in two years. I wish him a long life and a hundred years old, and I curse him that he will not live for two years.

After chatting for a while, the master and apprentice heard Menzi trotting over, then calmed his breath and said respectfully, "Master, someone from the printing bureau has come to visit." ”

"Call them in."

"Yes."

After Menzi went out, the people from the Hanyang Printing Bureau respectfully and quietly lined up one after another to wait, saw Cao Xian, and made a big salute, and then got up and spoke: "Master, please take a look at the new edition of the original "Yin Xun". ”

"Bring it, bring it ......"

Cao Xian waved his hand with a smile, Li Shan hurriedly took it, and then handed it to Cao Xian.

"The earlier version, do you know why the old man is not?"

"It's stupid to go down, and you don't know when you go down."

"This errand is the dictatorship given to the old man by the imperial court, and the earlier version is mostly Yayan, and the Qianxi of Chang'an Wubenfang is afraid that he can only understand five or six percent. If you don't have a good teacher, it's a bad thing. The old man had heard that there was a 'dispute between elegance and vulgarity' in Luoyang, so he remembered that he was in Yangzhou when he was young, and he was just speaking in the vernacular. Since there are many people who read the vernacular, it is natural that there will be more of them. ”

The people in the printing office were noncommittal, so they had some thoughts, and they would not say it in front of the old master.

A few days later, the second edition of the "Original Sound Training" officially sent the first batch to Chang'an and Luoyang, and the second batch will be sent to Taiyuan, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other places.

In recent years, because of the "First Book of Music Training", the efficiency of Mengtong's learning and reading has been greatly improved, and the literacy rate of citizens has skyrocketed, but Hanyang City has been able to ensure that most of the main labor force can understand notices, announcements, advertisements, and newspapers.

And because of this matter, whether it is Yangzhou, Suzhou, Runzhou, Huangzhou, Chuzhou, Ezhou, or Fuzhou, they are all vying to erect a statue for Cao Xian.

However, this time, unlike in the past, in the past, most of the dynasties were officially started, but Cao Xian was initiated by the people.

Among them, there is naturally a lot of merit, but Lao Zhang sees it clearly, those who support Cao Xian, one is counted as one, and they are all thinking about borrowing the name of Master Cao, so that they are familiar. There is a horizontal conscience, but the packaging of the conscience is really gorgeous, with a fragrance of gold, silver, copper and iron.

In addition to the second edition of the "Original Sound Training", Cao Xian, based on the valuable experience of his predecessors, extracted many simplified characters from cursive script in addition to the existing simplified characters. In response to the simplified characters, Cao Xian, through the official help of Zhang De, ***, and Lu Feibai, organized a large number of scribes of the old clan of the Southern Dynasties to compile the "Cao's Brief Book".

This is a set of simplified word dictionaries, each word does not have a side reference to the archetype, but a literal translation of the meaning of the word. As soon as this set of simplified dictionaries came out, the southern businessmen were greatly overjoyed, and immediately pirated 50,000 copies and sold them at a low price.

Unlike the second edition of the "Original Book of Yin Xun", the official enthusiasm of "Cao's Jianshu" is not high, but it is quite convenient for private businessmen. Master Cao also knows the truth of this. Officials and nobles, merchants and craftsmen, this is the difference between cloud and mud, except for those wealthy merchants, most merchants, may be able to see the biggest official in their lifetime, that is, the county magistrate of their hometown.

Then, the amount of literacy is not very important. There is no need for a merchant to dance and ink in front of the scholars, let alone say the subtlety of calligraphy in the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

However, the same businessman may be able to meet the top peers in his life, and he may be a resident of Chang'an City thousands of miles away. Then, in order to be able to make the potholes in the clauses clear, it is not bad to know a few more words. If you have to sign and draw your own pledge, you have to draw up a charter by yourself, and write a line of simple words in a cursory, so that you don't seem to have no ink on your chest. The words in black and white seem to be quite orderly.

As for the literacy rate, businessmen and craftsmen must not care about it, let alone understand it.

Cao Xian knew that this project of simplifying the complex must be huge, but if he wanted to complete the simplification, only the businessmen and craftsmen could have the final say in order to succeed. If the merchant craftsman said that it was equivalent to fart, then simplifying the complex would not succeed in the end.

If one day a businessman wants to simplify the complex but fails, it does not mean that the business is going against the trend, but that the businessman's organization is too weak and the power of execution is not strong. Then, it probably depends on the organization of the workers, the power of the workers.

It's just that when that day comes, Cao Fuzi feels that he can't see it, and he won't come when he can't even bite the fattest piece of braised pork.

However, Master Cao was still willing to print a copy of "Cao's Brief Book", just because a certain local dog from the south of the Yangtze River assured him that one day in the future, this "Brief Book" will definitely be popular, benefit all sentient beings, and be used by all people.

It's the height of summer again, and the sand of the Tulun moraine is like a steamer, distorting the air on the surface, and from a distance, the desert looks like a lake.

In the camp of the last lieutenant, Cheng Chubi, who was holding the "Cao's Jianshu", was personally inspecting the brigades with his personal guards, urging the soldiers to read and read.

The boring climate, the boring errands, a group of boring soldiers held a fire in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to tear up the "Cao's Jianshu" at hand, and then wipe their butts when they went out.

"Captain! Learn the word bird! Instead of being literate, I might as well go to the Green Ridge to catch a few heads! I don't understand, I'm a fighter, what do I want to study? ”

"You think it's useless to read?"

Cheng Chubi was expressionless, looking at the noisy pawn.

"There is a bird to use, Du Wei, is it possible for me to kill people, and I still have to hold this bird book? I don't understand, what is the use of reading and literacy for me! ”

The crowd was heckling and applauding.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Cheng Chubi, who was clapping his hands, smiled slightly, touched his beard, and then said, "Do you know that if you don't read and write, you will be hung up and beaten by me......"

“……”

The man's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Captain, I'm joking, this bird weather, tell a joke and be happy." In this world, how can you not study? I still don't know how good it is to read and write? Today I am literate, tomorrow I can read, in the future I may be able to understand the book of soldiers, at that time, I will be promoted to marry a beautiful girl, why not be happy! ”

"Teachable ......"

Cheng Chubi gently knocked the scroll in the man's head, causing the man to tremble suddenly.
