"I thought my lord was fooling around. I didn't expect it to be so effective."
Wan Xuan sighed. He thought that the implementation of New Rhymes of Chinese would cause a lot of controversy. However, the students from the Golden Scale Academy went to challenge the Golden Scale Pavilion and used the practical effect to suppress the arrogant students. After the actual implementation, the effect was much better than expected.
"If New Rhymes of Chinese can be implemented, many people in the world will benefit from it."
Cheng Cheng smiled and stroked his beard. He also heard about the performance of the students from the Golden Scale Academy. As a teacher, he was proud of himself.
"Yes! Yes! "
Wan Xuan laughed heartily and swept away the haze.
He escaped from Zhongzhao to Dongqing with Xie Qian and settled down in Wanzhou.
At first, he was at a loss. Now he found a new goal in life and lived a fulfilling life.
Although he was middle-aged, his spirit was abnormally high and did not lose to young people.
The two of them joked. Cheng Cheng noticed that Master Yuanjing was silent and frowned as if he had encountered a problem.
"Master Yuanjing, what's bothering you?"
Wan Xuan asked with concern. Feng Ren, who heard the noise, put down the book in his hand and looked up at Master Yuanjing.
Master Yuanjing came back to his senses and forced a smile. "I suddenly thought of something."
Feng Ren asked, "What is it?"
It was not a simple thing to make Master Yuanjing look worried.
Yuanjing said, "Yesterday, my student Tang Zude came to ask me about something. Thinking about it, what he said made sense. New Rhymes of Chinese uses rhyme marks to mark pronunciations. It is simple and easy to learn, but Zude is worried about one thing … If all the people in the world learn simple rhyme marks and replace the existing characters with rhyme marks … I'm afraid that no one will be willing to learn Chinese. "
Tang Yao was not the only one who was confused about this. Many students from the Golden Scale Pavilion also questioned it.
They had to admit that this question was very tricky. Everyone froze on the spot.
They agreed with the rhyme marks in New Rhymes of Chinese because these rhyme marks could help people read and recognize characters.
But if the people were only willing to learn simple rhyme marks and gave up learning the more difficult Chinese characters, what should they do?
Cheng Cheng and the others pondered for a while. Wan Xuan seemed to have thought of something and his brows relaxed.
"I don't think it's possible." Wan Xuan smiled and said, "Chinese characters are broad and profound. It's a cultural treasure and an unparalleled wealth. There are many Chinese characters with the same sound but different characters with different meanings. How can a few rhymes replace them perfectly? "
When Master Yuanjing heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. He patted his forehead and laughed at himself.
"I'm old, and my brain is useless. If not for Changzhai's guidance, I'm afraid that I would have continued to be stuck in a dead end. "
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere became peaceful again.
Wan Xuan wrote a long poem before the doubts of the outside world grew stronger.
The content of the long poem used Mister Yuanjing's doubts as an entry point. The moment it started, it caught everyone's attention.
What kind of question was it that even Master Yuanjing, who was an expert in the field of education, was puzzled?
As he continued to read, the entire long poem flowed smoothly like the clouds and flowing water. Reading it to one's heart's content, and in the end, he still felt like he hadn't had enough.
However, it also perfectly dispelled the doubts of the scholars. They happily studied the newly published "New Rhymes of Chinese" by Wanzhou Bookstore.
When the students of the Golden Scale Pavilion all recognized "New Rhymes of Chinese", Wanzhou Bookstore printed more copies and sent it to the hands of the world's famous scholars through various channels.
It was for no other reason than to show off!
Although this method was very shameless, it did indeed attract more scholars and famous scholars to Wanzhou.
When the other feudal vassals realized the signs, the situation was already out of control. They slapped their thighs …
Oh no, all the talents have gone to Wanzhou … Although they're only going there to study, there's no guarantee that they won't be recruited … The talents they've chosen are all leftovers from Wanzhou. They're inferior. How are they going to fight Liu Xi of Wanzhou?
Beat him with their heads?
Or influence him with love?
Because of this, rumors of the feudal vassals being courteous to the wise came out one after another.
For example, they would meet someone cordially today, sleep with someone tomorrow, or talk all night with someone else the day after … It was quite coquettish, just to attract the little bees called "talents" … Regarding this, the feudal vassals also expressed their heartache.
Liu Xi, at least take it easy and leave a bite of the cake!
Because of the Golden Scale Pavilion and Wanzhou Bookstore, Jiang Pengji's lack of talents had finally been alleviated.
The territory under her rule was developing in a direction of prosperity and entering a virtuous cycle.
The territory under Jiang Pengji's rule had been recuperating for two years. The granary was plentiful, the army was strong, and the horses were healthy.
On the other hand, most of the other feudal vassals had just settled the war and had yet to recover.
For example, Huang Song.
Huang Song had conquered the entire territory of Haozhou. Now he was facing the same predicament as Jiang Pengji — a lack of middle-level talents.
For this reason, he personally went to Langya County and Ningning County.
There was an ancient saying: Hejian County attracts all the beauties in the world, and Langhuan County gathers the literary songs of the human world.
Langya County and Ningning County had been cradles for the export of talents since ancient times. They were the places with the strongest literary atmosphere.
Huang Song had many talents under his command. Almost everyone had friends in these two places.
With this layer of connection, even if the celebrities didn't think highly of Huang Song, they could still meet him for the sake of his friend.
As for whether or not Huang Song could move them, it would depend on his personal performance.
After one round, Huang Song managed to get close to many good seedlings.
Because Master Yuanjing had gone to Wanzhou, Langya Academy seemed a little quiet.
As Master Yuanjing's first disciple, Cheng Jing finally returned to Langya County. Naturally, he had to visit his mistress.
Master Yuanjing's mistress shook her head at Cheng Jing. "Your master is the same. He said he would be back in three to five months, but now he refuses to come back. If he wasn't old, I would suspect that he has been seduced by some stunning beauty … Recently, he hasn't even written home letters. "
Cheng Jing was secretly amused as he listened quietly.
"If it weren't for Wuniang and Chengyun's filial piety, I would have brought people to Wanzhou to see who has seduced your master and refuses to leave."
When Cheng Jing heard the word "Chengyun," he remembered that he was his junior sister's husband.
Nie Xun's courtesy name was Chengyun.
Cheng Jing knew very well what his master's taste was like.
A son-in-law who could satisfy him must be a dragon among men.
Cheng Jing pondered for a while and prepared to write a visiting card to meet this' brother-in-law '.
In terms of appearance, Nie Xun was one of the few handsome men in the world.
Especially the cinnabar dot between his eyebrows. It was bright red and dazzling, making his skin whiter than snow. He was even more beautiful than a married woman.
He felt that Wuniang would be under great pressure facing such a husband.
It was fine that he was beautiful, but he was also talented and had a firm character. He could be considered a gentleman.
Huang Song glanced at him and whispered to Cheng Jing in private.
"Youmo, do you think it's possible that this Nie Chengyun …"
Cheng Jing said, "We can try."
