Daqin: At the beginning, the father-in-law was invited to rebel, but the father-in-law turned out to

Brother Zheng said again: "But it's strange to say that during this period of time Song Yuan stayed in the house every day, not knowing what to do, and never explained the things in the yard. It's really strange."

Li Si replied, "Your Majesty, you can ask me later."

Brother Zheng nodded slightly, intending to ask later.

At this time, the door opened.

I saw Song Yuan was wearing a fur coat, Ying Shiman was held in the arms of his princess, and there was a yellow thing between the fingers of his right hand.

Walking into the house, Ying Shiman blushed and said: "Husband, let him go, daddy is going to laugh!"

Song Yuan smiled when he heard this, and put Ying Shiman down.

Only then did Ying Shiman straighten out the messy clothes. She didn't expect that she would be molested by her husband when she went out to deliver the clothes.

Brother Zheng felt a little emotional when he saw the two fighting, as if the two were still as sweet as they were five years ago.

It's just that apart from the relationship between the two, Songjiazhuang has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

And all the changes were made by Song Yuan.

Brother Zheng was emotional, but also saw the yellow thing in Song Yuan's hand, and asked, "What is in your hand? You have been messing around for so long, just for this rag?"

Song Yuan said with a smile: "This is not some rag, this thing is called paper! Paper is a fetish for the development of an empire!"

"Oh?"

Brother Zheng immediately became interested when he heard about it, and he asked seriously: "Is this paper really that powerful? What does it do?"

Li Si also looked at Song Yuan curiously.

This is the first new invention that Song Yuan has come up with since he came to Zhuangzi for so long, and it is also called a fetish. He wants to see how amazing it is.

Song Yuan also sat down by the stove, spread out the paper, and said, "Paper is something I invented recently. Its function is very simple. It can replace bamboo slips and record words on paper, and the cost of paper is the cost of bamboo slips." Less than ten percent."

Brother Zheng and Li Si looked at each other with surprise flashing across their eyes.

One of them is Zulong and the other is the prime minister.

I have to be exposed to countless memorials on weekdays, and I am very sensitive to the things that record the content of the text.

As soon as Song Yuan opened his mouth, the two of them knew how powerful the paper was.

First of all, it can be seen at first glance that the paper is thin and large, lighter than the bamboo slips, and the writing range is also wider.

The second is the cost of paper, which is [-]% of the bamboo slips, which greatly reduces the court's expenditure on memorials, and even reduces countless learning costs.

Brother Zheng said thoughtfully: "Before you said that you want to carry out education, and even let Daqin achieve universal education, is it because of this thing?"

Song Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, only paper is the most suitable carrier for writing, and with it, universal education can be realized!"

Brother Zheng nodded.

Li Si looked at the paper in Song Yuan's hand with eyes full of surprise, he was deeply convinced by Song Yuan's statement.

At the same time, he was surprised by Song Yuan's foresight.

Even Shihuang and him never thought of inventing something to replace the bamboo slips.

Only with bamboo slips, it seems difficult to complete universal education.

Li Si asked, "Song Yuan, it's hard for people to learn with this paper alone! The cost of literacy is too high!"

Song Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know what I have been doing in the house for the past fifteen days?"

The two were in a circle.

Why did you suddenly ask this question?

Brother Zheng suddenly had an idea, and said, "Have you found a way to reduce the cost of literacy?".

Chapter 61

Song Yuan smiled and walked towards the house.

Brother Zheng and Li Si were even more puzzled when they saw it, what exactly Song Yuan was going to do.

Ying Shiman is a little curious. These days, her husband is immersed in doing things every day without explaining to her. She wants to know what he is doing these days.

After a while, Song Yuan came out with a document.

Snapped.

Song Yuan put the information on the table and said: "This is what I rely on, and these things can reduce the cost of literacy!"

Brother Zheng and the three looked down.

What attracts them first is not the content of the information, but the carrier of the information.

This is a piece of paper as white as snow, on which are written small characters.

This effect alone made Zheng Ge and Li Si clearly aware of it.

What an advantage paper has over bamboo slips.

Thin and light, with a large writing range.

If all the memorials in the palace were replaced with paper, there would be countless vacant rooms, and it would be very convenient when searching for documents.

Looking at the shock in the eyes of the two, Song Yuan knew how much shock the paper had caused them.

But at this time, Ying Shiman had already started to read the information on the paper.

But I found that it seems to read more smoothly, but there are some awkwardness.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, there are some strange symbols between the lines.

She pointed to the strange symbols in the characters and asked, "Husband, what are these symbols? What do they mean?"

Brother Zheng and Li Si also looked down when they heard the words.

The two read for a while, and also felt Ying Shiman's feeling, smooth but awkward.

The two of them also raised their heads, looked at Song Yuan, and watched him explain

Song Yuan said at this time: "These things are called punctuation marks, which can help to break sentences. For example, this ',' is called a comma, which is used to stop a sentence. For example, '." It is called a period, which represents a sentence. The end of the conversation."

Speaking of this, the three of them suddenly realized that although they didn't know the function of these symbols at first, they all paused subconsciously, and the reading was natural and smooth.

Song Yuan also continued to explain, explaining the punctuation marks such as quotation marks and colons clearly.

The three brothers Zheng were enlightened again.

When they know what these punctuation marks mean, the reading experience is much better.

After a while, Li Si came to his senses and said, "This thing can definitely greatly reduce the cost of learning! When I read things on weekdays, it often takes some time to break sentences. With this punctuation mark, the efficiency can be greatly improved!"

Brother Zheng also nodded in agreement.

The number of memorials handled by the two is comparable to the first and second in the Qin list.

I am more or less troubled by sentence breaks on weekdays.

Brother Zheng looked at the punctuation marks on the paper, and secretly decided in his heart to steal this thing immediately, and use these sentences in the memorials sent tomorrow!

Ying Shiman suddenly asked at this time: "Husband, this is all about the benefits of paper, and it seems to have nothing to do with reducing the cost of learning!"

Song Yuan smiled, turned the paper over and said, "The things here will open your eyes."

Because these papers were given by the system in the previous lottery draw, Song Yuan also used them sparingly, and the front and back were filled with information.

Song Yuan finished speaking.

Brother Zheng, Li Si and Ying Shiman all looked down at the information.

"The first step is the radical?"

"The second step is the pinyin alphabet?"

"The third step is the Great Qin Dictionary?"

The three of them looked at the information and murmured in their hearts.

They don't know any of the three things, and they haven't even heard of them.

Could it be another new invention of Song Yuan?

Brother Zheng muttered to himself, when did Song Yuan even know how to make literary inventions?

In Brother Zheng's impression, Song Yuan's family didn't understand all the Spring and Autumn families.

However, the craftsman skills in his hands are not among the top [-] schools of thought, and they are far different from literature.

Laymen engaged in literature?

This surprised Brother Zheng a little. Did Song Yuan hide his strength again?

"This... this thing is wonderful!"

When Brother Zheng was puzzled, Li Si suddenly became amazed.

Brother Zheng was taken aback, he found that not only Li Si was amazed, but Ying Shiman was also surprised, he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Ying Shiman said first: "Daddy, this pinyin alphabet is too powerful. With this thing, it's very easy to read! Compared with the straight pronunciation of Fanqie and Pinyin, it's like a child's sword!"

Brother Zheng frowned, so powerful?

He wanted to look at the information, but found that the information had been reversed by Li Si and Ying Shiman, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

At this time, Li Si said again: "Not only the pinyin letters, but with this radical, there is no need to use the method of similar characters to distinguish characters, and directly recognize characters according to the radical!"

Brother Zheng was stunned for a moment.

What you said to these two people, what I said, basically completely negated the literacy wisdom condensed by the various schools of thought!

Is it possible that Song Yuan can stand shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of families by himself?

Not so much, right?

At this time, Li Si suddenly shouted again: "This... this Daqin dictionary is a real masterpiece! Song Yuan, if you make this dictionary, your achievements will definitely surpass hundreds of schools, and even rival the sage Confucius!"

Song Yuan smiled faintly, and there was a Chinese dictionary lying in his system warehouse.

Now that papermaking has been perfected, as long as large quantities of paper are produced and movable type printing and engraving are made at the same time, dictionaries can be produced in batches.

It doesn't take ten days for every person in Songjiazhuang to have a dictionary.

At this time, Li Si saw Song Yuan's confident smile, and when he thought of the advantages of papermaking technology invented by Song Yuan, he was shocked.

He said in horror: "Are you already going to succeed?"

Song Yuan was about to nod.

Only then did Brother Zheng find an opportunity to interrupt, and asked, "What are you talking about?".

Chapter 62

"Great Qin Dictionary!"

Ying Shiman said without thinking.

Li Si also said with a serious face: "Master, as long as this Daqin Dictionary is made, Song Yuan will really be a sage of Gongbi Kong!"

While speaking, Li Si's eyes were also hinting.

Your Majesty, we must steal Song Yuan's dictionary!

Brother Zheng was a little confused.

He was puzzled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't read this material yet, you all let go of your hands, let me read it!"

Only then did Ying Shiman and Li Si come to their senses.

Brother Zheng took the information and looked down.

Brother Zheng is watching.

Li Si was not idle either, he was thinking.

During this period of time in the iron and steel plant, the hair is almost growing out, especially after Song Yuan developed a large-scale fried steel project, the smoke and dust in the entire iron and steel plant is getting bigger and bigger.
