I'm Almost At Immortal Ascension, You Say You Want Me To Be The Prince?

Chapter 291 This old man, have an idea!

“Mr. Cao, are you still used to living here?”

Li Mu specially came to visit Lao Cao today.

Lao Cao has been busy studying lithography and mimeograph recently.

Especially the mimeograph, it really opened his eyes.

Of course, this mimeograph is definitely not the kind of mimeograph of later generations.

I can’t get it out before the conditions are met.

The mimeograph made by Li Mu is made of wood by hand.

Although it is primitive and the success rate is not high, Lao Cao will be happy like a child every time a finished product is released.

It’s really eye-opening.

Li Mu, in particular, had an unpredictable impression of Lao Cao before, but now he is an old child at all.

After hearing Li Mu’s voice, Lao Cao glanced back at him, then helped his glasses.

That’s right, it’s glasses.

The things Li Mu produced are currently experimental products, and the success rate is still relatively low.

Not even optometry or anything.

Anyway, I used Lao Cao as a guinea pig.

However, Lao Cao was a happy group after he got the glasses.

With his precious expression, no one can see the old man’s love for the glasses.

By the way, even his attitude towards Li Mu was much better.

After holding on to his glasses, Old Man Cao said with a smile, “It’s you, Xiao Li, how come you have free time to find the old man today?”

During peacetime, Li Mu rarely came to look for Lao Cao.

After all, the two belonged to a business relationship, and there was no personal friendship at all. Li Mu’s position of the old man was very clear.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, feelings will not be wasted.

Since I came to find him, then there must be something to do with him.

In this regard, Lao Cao is also very clear.

When the lion opened his mouth, he never pretended to be.

This is also the reason why Li Mu would not come to him under normal circumstances. Without him, two words would be painful!

“It’s the twelfth lunar month and winter, and a warm cotton quilt is here.” Li Mu said with a smile.

Old Cao took off his glasses, wiped them carefully with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile, “Let’s talk, what’s the matter?”

“I would like to ask your husband to help me write a few words.”

Old Cao was taken aback, “Inscription? What do you want to do?”

“I want to open a new school.”

“Oh? What academy? Could it be your miscellaneous learning methods again?”

“Yes, but there is a difference.”

“Well, the old man doesn’t care what you want to do, what words you want to inscribe, hurry up.”

“Lan Xiang Senior Technical College.”

“…”

Old Cao looked dumbfounded, “Blue…Lan Xiang Advanced Technical College?”

Li Mu nodded calmly, not at all joking.

“What are you paying attention to?” Old Cao asked with some doubts.

Li Mu raised his head forty-five degrees and looked up at the sky, with a faint remembrance in his eyes, and said, “Just remember the customs of my hometown.”

Old man Cao’s mouth twitched. Isn’t your hometown Jingyang County? Do you remember a fart?

After shaking his head, Old Man Cao didn’t bother to ask questions. He just picked up the pen and wrote “Lanxiang Advanced Technical College” in large characters. Then he inscribed his name and affixed his seal.

All in one go, perfect!

Watching him finish writing, Li Mu hurriedly blew the handwriting with Xu Mo juice. After the handwriting dries, he carefully put away the calligraphy.

“Then Mu thanked the old gentleman first. I don’t know what else the old gentleman has. Just mention it.”

“No, you old man with glasses is very satisfied, so you should offset this matter.”

Li Mu was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this old man to talk so well today.

At a very early stage, he paid typography and mimeograph technology, which is distressed.

But then Old Man Cao suddenly smiled and said, “By the way, Xiao Li, I want to ask you for help with something.”

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, and he didn’t think that this old man would also ask him for help one day.

“What’s the matter with the old gentleman, but it’s okay to say.”

“The old man has always had a ambition.”

After speaking with an emotional expression, he learned how Li Mu looked up at the sky forty-five degrees just now.

The corner of Li Mu’s mouth twitched slightly. What does this old man want to do? Dammit made Daddy’s heart up and down.

“Without consulting, what ambition does the old man have?”

“The old man has a wish, that is, to carry forward what he has learned in his lifetime.”When Li Mu heard, oh, it turned out to be such a thing, it’s not easy, Daddy printed tens of thousands of copies, wouldn’t it be carried forward.

“Mr. Cao can rest assured that there is a lot of rice paper manufacturing now, and it will be printed in a book by then, Yier.”

“Now, what you said, then I’m up to you on this matter.”

“no problem.”

After agreeing, Li Mu just remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask what the old man wrote.

So he asked, “I don’t know what the book written by the old man is?”

“Oh, it’s not a mantra, it’s just a transliteration of a selection of texts.”

Then Li Mu took the transliteration of a selected text handed over by Cao and opened it.

Damn it!

Isn’t this horse riding something similar to Pinyin?

And, more importantly, the old man also came up with simplified Chinese characters.

Lying in a big trough!

Is it so advanced?

“Old gentleman, is this your book?”

“Otherwise it’s you?”

Li Mu: “……”

“But to be honest, there are some credits for you.”

“What’s the answer to this?”

“The old man was also inspired by your pinyin method, that’s why this book is published.”

Li Mu immediately covered his face, and the pinyin was also casually used, mainly to facilitate the subsequent popularization of physical and chemical units.

But even so, he didn’t dare to play such a flowery work as simplified Chinese characters.

As for why?

Because the gentry would not admit it, and even lead to opposition.

The reason lies in the monopoly of education.

Simplifying the font means that it is much easier for ordinary people to read.

In this way, the status of the gentry would be threatened.

If the difficulty of literacy decreases, the literacy rate generally increases.

Then, the power of the mud legs impacting the gate valve will greatly increase, which they don’t want to see.

Therefore, it is difficult to popularize simplified Chinese characters.

Then, what made Li Mu even more shocked was that the old man was not finished yet, so he said, “Little Li, the old man has another idea.”

“What’s your thoughts?” Li Mu faintly felt a little bit of a feeling of ignorance.

“Unified language.”

Damn it!

Damn it!

This old man dare to think about it!

“Why? Do you still want to promote Mandarin?”

“Mandarin? Well, that’s a good name.”

f*ck!

Datang’s current Mandarin is “Luoxia Dialect”.

However, this so-called Mandarin is actually used only a small part.

More still use dialects.

Moreover, this Luoxia Mandarin is also difficult to learn.

It was purely that gang of scumbags were seeking superiority.

So, how difficult is it to promote a unified Mandarin in the Tang Dynasty, where the dialects are full of birds and tongues?

I can’t imagine it.

“Doctor Cao, do you think you and I can do this?”

“Others may not be able to, but you may be able to.”

What? ? ?

“how do I say this?”

I saw Old Man Cao said with a smile.

“One, you have rice paper, and two, you are not afraid of death.”

“…”

“Needless to say the role of rice paper, as for another reason, these things you are doing right now are no different from seeking death. What’s the harm in carrying one more charge?”

What am I?

Just when Li Mu hesitated whether to take this hot potato.

The long-lost system prompt sounded.

[Ding, system task: accept the commission of Cao Xian to complete the promotion of Mandarin and simplified characters]

Yes, now I can’t even think about it.
