"Brother-in-law, please wait!"
After the Hundred Schools Meeting, Meton was about to leave, but he was stopped by Li Tai before he could even take a step.
"So it's Little … no, Emperor Wei! May I know what you need? "Meton was slightly stunned.
Li Tai's face darkened, but when he heard Meton change his words, his expression softened. "Now that the Hundred Schools Meeting has just ended, may I know why Brother-in-law is leaving in such a hurry?"
Meton did not think too much and said loudly, "Today, Kong Huisuo will leave the capital and head to the three provinces. I'm going to send him off."
The three provinces were the model of sincere cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism. Since Kong Huisuo was about to leave, Meton naturally could not be absent. He naturally had to send him off.
"The descendant of the Kong Family who created the Dictionary!" Li Tai's eyes flashed. Kong Huisuo's name had recently spread through the Tang dynasty. Once his Dictionary was released, it was immediately well received. Almost every student had a copy, and the demand in Chang 'an alone could not meet the demand. In addition, he was determined to personally go to the uncivilized land to experiment and promote the concept of the same word, which made people praise him even more.
"I admire people with learning and ambition the most. How can I miss such a great talent? I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life." Li Tai said loudly and immediately squeezed into a carriage with Meton as if they were familiar with each other.
Meton had no choice but to wave his hand and order Tie An to start the carriage. He took Li Tai and headed toward the east gate of Chang 'an.
Outside the east gate, a mighty Confucian convoy gathered, attracting even more people to watch. After all, Kong Huisuo's name was like thunder in Chang 'an.
Transforming all the private schools into primary schools was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Firstly, there were teachers who were stubborn and were unwilling to do so. Secondly, the teachers needed time to adapt to the new textbooks. Fortunately, the textbooks for primary schools were not difficult. This was not a problem for the scholars and students. The final date for the transformation of primary schools was set for the beginning of spring next year.
Kong Yingda's transformation of the primary school was naturally steady and steady. However, Kong Huisuo was somewhat impatient to experiment with universal language. He had just gathered nearly a hundred Confucian scholars in Chang 'an City who could speak the official language, and was prepared to immediately set off for the three provinces.
"Brother Mo, Your Highness Emperor Wei!" When Kong Huisuo saw Meton and Li Tai rushing over, she immediately stood up to welcome them.
"Brother Kong, please don't blame me for being late!" When the two of them arrived, Kong Hui Suo was already about to set off.
"It's not too late. To be able to receive Brother Mo's escort is truly a pleasant surprise." Kong Hui Suo had originally thought that the Confucian school and Mohism school had once again fallen out, and the two of them had already gone their separate ways. He had not expected that Meton would actually come to see him off.
Meton shook his head and said, "The struggle between Confucianism and Mohism is the philosophy of the various schools of thought, and it does not affect our personal relationship. Moreover, ever since the Martial Han era, when Confucianism was revered, the Confucian school had not made any progress in the past several hundred years. Now that the Hundred Schools of Thought are gradually rising, all kinds of theories are emerging one after another. Isn't this magnificent era even better?"
Kong Hui Suo could not help but bitterly smile. Perhaps only Meton would dare to criticize the Confucian school for not making any progress in the past several hundred years. However, he also admitted that Meton's words were true.
When the other Confucian scholars heard Meton's words, they could not help but angrily rebuke Meton. Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Kong Hui Suo hurriedly led the two of them to the side and said, "Your Highness and Brother Mo, please come this way. We will talk privately."
The three of them walked to the pavilion, and Kong Hui Suo looked at Merton and said, "This trip to the three provinces is a matter of sincere cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism. The hundred Confucian scholars of the Confucian school have already arrived. I wonder if Brother Mo has prepared your promise?"
Meton laughed and said, "Brother Kong, don't worry. Since the Confucian school is so straightforward, the School of Mohism will naturally not disappoint them. Three days ago, the Mohist Village had already donated ten thousand strings of cash to the Red Cross as a fund for the construction of schools in the three provinces. At the same time, ten Brother Mo Jiazi will also arrive in the three provinces to guide the production and help the people of the three provinces become rich. "
Li Tai clapped his hands and said, "The cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism is a match made in heaven. Once the people of the three provinces become rich and receive the teachings of the saints, they will definitely side with the Tang dynasty. In time, the three provinces will undoubtedly be united with the Central Plains, and they will no longer have any thoughts of rebellion."
"Thank you, Your Highness Emperor Wei, for your auspicious words." Kong Hui Suo cupped his hands and said.
"Once the pilot program in the three provinces is successful, it will definitely be able to spread to the world in the future. At that time, the world will be one, and China will be one. What a grand occasion!" Li Tai said passionately.
Kong Hui Suo also could not help but feel excited. However, he suddenly sighed and said, "If you want the world to be one, you must create a method to make the world be one. Unfortunately, I have collected all the books in the world, but I still have no idea."
Seeing this, Li Tai laughed and said, "Brother Kong, those who are closely involved can't see clearly! As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell needs to untie it. With such an expert here, why is Brother Kong so humble? "
Kong Hui Suo's eyes lit up, and he could not help but raise his head to look at Meton. That's right! It was Meton who proposed to make the world be one. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he would have to rely on Meton.
Seeing this, Meton could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Kong has collected the wisdom of hundreds of people and collected all the books in the world, but you still have no idea. What can I do? Do you think that I am omnipotent? "
Kong Hui Suo's face suddenly turned bitter, and he could not help but say loudly, "If even Brother Mo has no idea, I am afraid that I will have to plan to spend the rest of my life in Liangzhou."
He was afraid that he would have to popularize the word be one in his life. If he really could not find a way to make the world be one in Liangzhou, he was afraid that he would have to popularize one province after another, and he would not be able to accomplish it in his life.
Seeing that Kong Hui Suo was putting on an act, Meton could not help but say helplessly, "Alright, stop pretending. Although there is no way, I still have some ideas."
"I knew that Brother Mo had a way!" Kong Hui Suo's face suddenly changed.
Meton shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Kong has searched through the books of the Tang dynasty, but you have not searched through the books of the world. You must know that the Tang dynasty is not the only civilized country in the world."
"Books of the foreign lands!" Li Tai's eyes flashed, and he blurted out.
"Books of the foreign lands?" Kong Hui Suo frowned. He was an orthodox Confucian, and he was obsessed with the knowledge of Confucius. Even if the School of Mo had obtained great benefits from the foreign lands, he still had not thought of reading books of the foreign lands.
Meton nodded and said, "If Brother Kong can read books of the world, you will find that there are three widely used languages in the world. The first is the hieroglyphics represented by Chinese characters. The second is the cuneiform language represented by Persia and other places, and the even more distant Pinyin language used by the far west."
"Hieroglyphics, cuneiform language, and Pinyin language." Li Tai could not help but be stunned. He did not expect that a single language would have so many tricks.
Meton nodded and said, "Hieroglyphics are the most common, and the most vivid ones are the Sun, Moon, and Mountain. They are all derived from specific images."
Li Tai used his hand to slowly write on the table in the pavilion, and he could not help but be enlightened.
"The cuneiform language is the most ancient, and also the most difficult to understand. However, even the natives of Persia and Abbasid Caliphate are unwilling to use it." Meton did not know whether to laugh or cry. The cuneiform language was completely seeking its own death.
"Today, we are going to talk about the Pinyin language of the far west," Meton said seriously.
"Pinyin language?" Kong Hui Suo's heart trembled when he heard the word Pinyin, and he could not help but listen.
"The Pinyin language is the simplest. The Pinyin language is both a sound and a word, and it is very useful for us to learn from. Today, this little brother will give the letters and rules of the Pinyin language of the far west to Brother Kong. I hope that Brother Kong will be enlightened." After saying this, Meton handed Kong Hui Suo a book. Written on it was the language of the far west that the School of Mo had specially collected to translate the Book of Exotic Lands.
Kong Hui Suo solemnly accepted it and said gratefully, "This Kong was a frog at the bottom of a well. I did not expect that there would be such a splendid culture in this world."
This was the first time that he, as a member of the proud Kong Family, had paid attention to the study of the Exotic Lands.
"Farewell!" Kong Hui Suo stood in front of the Confucian caravan and clasped his hands.
"Bon voyage!" Meton and Li Tai clasped their hands.
Before leaving, Kong Hui Suo suddenly turned his head and said solemnly, "If, of course, I took all the credit for the dictionary in the imperial court, would Brother Mo still give this little brother the Pinyin Language Technique?"
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and he looked back and forth between the two of them. The boat of friendship between the School of Mo and the Confucian Family had already capsized. Could it be that Meton and Kong Hui Suo's friendship would repeat the same mistake?
Meton said without hesitation, "That is Brother Kong's credit. Since Brother Kong is willing to share the credit selflessly, this little brother will naturally find an opportunity to compensate Brother Kong. The School of Mo will never disappoint a friend."
Kong Hui Suo was silent for a moment, and then he clasped his hands and said, "Brother Mo, this Kong will remember this favor."
