Chapter 140 Chinese Pinyin
Chapter 140 Chinese Pinyin
Ye Xiao muttered in thought, trying to figure out how to make these fighters learn to read quickly.

"Ask Bowen if there is any good way."

Ye Xiao left the barracks and walked towards Liu Bowen's mansion, where Liu Bowen was reading in the courtyard in a green suit.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Liu Bowen saw Ye Xiao come in and put down the book in his hand.

"Berwin, I'm here this time to discuss something with you."

Liu Bowen stepped forward, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Oh? Could it be that my lord wants to attack other counties?"

Ye Xiao shook his head when he heard what Liu Bowen said.

"No, I want to teach soldiers to read and write, but is there a good way to ask you for advice?"

"Literacy?"

Liu Bowen looked at Ye Xiao in surprise, at this moment his thoughts were the same as Han Xin's.

Seeing Liu Bowen's surprised expression, Ye Xiao told Liu Bowen about what happened in the military camp today, and also told Liu Bowen about his plan to open a military school.

After hearing this, Liu Bowen said excitedly: "Your Majesty's meritorious deed will last forever!"

Ye Xiao didn't understand Liu Bowen's meaning and immediately asked: "How come the merits are in Qianqiu?"

"My lord, as long as these soldiers start to read and write, then after these people retire at old age, they can find a government servant or clerical job in their hometown to do, and these people accept the education of the lord, then these people must be An absolute supporter of the lord's policy, the lord's plan is really brilliant!"

Liu Bowen is right. After these soldiers leave the army, since most of them have no land to plant, most of them will seek a job locally. Go to the Yamen to seek errands.

What is the foundation of the implementation of honesty policy in ancient society?The yamen servant is not the county magistrate, nor the local prefect and sheriff.

Because the local prefects and county guards are all replaced by the imperial court, and those yamen servants can be said to be hereditary as long as they are appointed, this has created a phenomenon, that is, the iron-clad yamen servants and county magistrates.

Although there are only tens of thousands of soldiers under Ye Xiao's men now, as long as Ye Xiao uses this method, with the expansion of Ye Xiao's team, one day all the yamen servants in the world will be Ye Xiao's most loyal followers. It will be easy for Ye Xiao to implement any reforms at that time.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao was not excited, he knew that all of this was a beautiful fantasy, and now they had to face the most basic problem - how to make those soldiers quickly learn to read.

"My lord, we can use Fanqie to teach these soldiers."

"Oh? What is Fanqie?" Ye Xiao looked at Liu Bowen and asked.

"My lord, the so-called Fanqie is to put two Chinese characters together and then give a phonetic notation to a Chinese character. For example, we can divide the word "Lian" into Lang and Dian, and take the initial consonant of Lang, the final of Dian and the tone respectively."

Hearing Liu Bowen's explanation, Ye Xiao asked: "If there is fanqie, there must be tangent?"

"It's natural, tangent is relatively simple, just annotate words with the same tone."

Hearing what Liu Bowen said, Ye Xiao fell into thinking. The methods Liu Bowen said reminded him of the days when he was learning English at school. Every time he encountered a word he couldn’t read, he would use Chinese characters to annotate it.

Thinking of English, Ye Xiao's eyes lit up, yes, Chinese pinyin, why did he forget this, Ye Xiao immediately slapped his thigh and looked at Liu Bowen.

Looking at the excited Ye Xiao, Liu Bowen thought he agreed with his method and immediately asked.

"My lord agrees to use Fanqie?"

"No, although Fanqie is good, these soldiers don't have any educational basis. If you want to teach them Fanqie, you must teach them all the most basic [-] characters. components, which creates obstacles when assembling."

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Liu Bowen was silent, he knew Ye Xiao was right, but looking at the excited Ye Xiao, he asked in surprise.

"My lord, since this method doesn't work, why are you so happy?"

"I thought of a very good solution, Hanyu Pinyin!"

"What is Hanyu Pinyin?"

Liu Bowen asked when he heard this new word. Seeing this, Ye Xiao came to the table where Liu Bowen was studying, moistened the brush and began to write on a piece of white paper.

"This is "a", "b"..." Ye Xiao explained to Liu Bowen while writing.

"My lord wrote this in Sanskrit?"

Sanskrit is also the classical language of Buddhism. At this time, Buddhism has been introduced to China. It is not surprising that Liu Bowen has seen Sanskrit after reading poetry and books.

"It's not Sanskrit, but it's almost like Sanskrit and evolved from a foreign language."

I saw Ye Xiao finished writing the 26 letters, looked at Liu Bowen and said.

"We can divide these letters into initial consonants and finals, and then use the most basic Chinese characters to mark these pinyin, so that we only need to find a few people who know basic Chinese characters to teach."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he began to mark the simplest Chinese characters next to each letter. Liu Bowen was shocked again when he saw Ye Xiao's logo.

"My lord, this idea is really outrageous. In this way, not only soldiers can use it, but people who have learned the Chinese pinyin can read an obscure text by simply adding notes when they encounter unfamiliar characters. Articles are simply the gospel for readers!"

Seeing Liu Bowen's shocked expression, Ye Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile.

"It's all taught well in the nine-year compulsory education."

"My lord, what is compulsory education?"

Ye Xiao coughed in embarrassment when asked by Liu Bowen.

"Compulsory education is my teacher."

After hearing Ye Xiao's explanation, Liu Bowen looked at Ye Xiao with even more admiration and said.

"My lord's master is indeed an expert. I don't know if I can have a chance to meet my lord's master."

"The old man has passed away."

Hearing that Ye Xiao's master had passed away, Liu Bowen expressed deep regret, while Ye Xiao seemed relieved.

"My good fellow, I'm finally prevaricating. If I ask more questions, my identity as a time traveler will be exposed."

"I don't know when the lord is going to implement this Chinese pinyin."

Liu Bowen looked at Ye Xiao and asked, Ye Xiao thought for a while and answered.

"You first go to Yingchuan City to find a hundred literate people, and then teach them this, so that they must learn it within two days."

"Yes, my lord!"

Liu Bowen was about to leave after receiving the order. Seeing this, Ye Xiao pulled Liu Bowen and said.

"Berwin, why are you so anxious about this matter, it's not too late to go tomorrow."

Who knew that Liu Bowen said excitedly: "My lord, this matter is a matter of great merit, how can we not be in a hurry."

Seeing that Liu Bowen couldn't be stopped, Ye Xiao stopped talking and let him go.
