Chapter 69: An Unknown Person in History (2)
Chapter 69: The Unknown Soldier in History (II)
Yang Jie was suddenly afraid that this person named Liu Jishan would suddenly pounce on him. In this way, he would be passive. It would not be a good thing to die in front of him. He could not lose his reputation as a "brutal" legend.
"Brother, give him some porridge and drink first, it's scary." Yang Jieyu, the otaku, was really scary by Liu Jishan. His image was so scary. His voice seemed to be dead at any time.
"Yes, the emperor..." Wang Chengen agreed.
"The guilty minister thanked the emperor for giving me the grace of the rice..." Liu Jishan, who had eaten a few sips of white porridge, sobbed and thanked the emperor. He also claimed to be guilty.
"What are you guilty? You are a censor, and you say whatever you want..." Yang Jingai was speechless and thought to himself: Now you think of your guilt, why didn't you expect it at that time?
"The criminal minister should not contradict the emperor, despise the emperor's authority, destroy the emperor's painstaking efforts, and should not oppose the emperor's promotion of frugality and chastity. If the miserable minister is guilty, please punish the emperor..." Liu Jishan drank some porridge, and the energy in the porridge was probably absorbed by his body quickly. Now his voice is much better, at least he is not as angry as a slept in the spring. It has also become much louder.
Yang Jie felt relieved when he heard Liu Jishan's voice louder. After thinking about it, he said, "Today, you see me, I am not here to listen to your guilt. I heard from my partner that you have important things to tell me, hoping that you can save your misunderstanding?" Yang Jie remembered that Wang Chengen said that Liu Jishan had something to give to him, and hoped that he would not write his mistakes into the history books.
"Report to the emperor, the criminal minister made a mistake in saving paper. He also wanted to share the worries for the emperor in this regard, save some expenses for the Ming Dynasty, and redeem the crime of redeeming the minister..." Liu Jishan looked heartbroken.
After hearing what Liu Jishan said, Yang Jing became interested. Shrinking a few pieces of paper into one piece, isn’t that saying that you should use small characters? Hehe, this kid wants to be the opponent of literati! Well, indeed, when promoting small characters, he needs someone who stands on the front desk and fights with those literati. This Liu Jishan is good at being a human being.
To promote small characters, it is to save paper and save expenses. It is also true to crack down on and torture those old ministers. In addition, when writing small characters, characters with many strokes, especially traditional characters, are quite difficult to identify. Writing will inevitably lead to the rise and popularity of abbreviations. This is also the original meaning of Yang Jing's implementation of abbreviations. Yang Jing originally studied nine years of compulsory education, and learned simplified characters. Occasionally, some traditional characters were reluctant to deal with. Once the whole article was full of traditional characters, it was torture Yang Jing. Yang Jing felt that it was better to torture others than torture himself.
Asking ministers to write small characters was just an inspiration at that time. As a tool to challenge literati, I never thought that it would change the habits and traditions inherent in literati for thousands of years. But now it is different. There is someone who is willing to stand on the front and fight for himself. Yang Jingai thinks this thing can be tried. As a result, he will not have to worry about simplifying the traditional Chinese in the future, nor will he suffer from simplifying the traditional Chinese in the future. If he fails, he will only lose one Liu Jishan, and he will not have any losses at all. This is worth a try.
"Yes, Liu Aiqing, tell me what you think." Yang Jie looked at the disheveled hair, wearing white clothes, and a tired look, and called out to the beloved.
"The criminals think that the frugality and chastity advocated by the emperor are really a great good thing, and it is actually a blessing for all people. If you want to write in many literati in the world, you need paper? How much ink is needed? If you use small characters and shrink a few sheets of paper into one piece, how much paper should you save? How much ink can you save? How much money can you save for the court? It is actually the emperor's virtue and politics..." Liu Jishan was excited when he heard the emperor call him his beloved, and flattered him and slapped the emperor for free. He turned a small "initiative" into a virtue and politics. He returned the blessing of all people in the world. He could only use one word to describe: thick-skinned.
"Haha..." Liu Jishan's flattery was good. Yang Jing accepted it with a smile. After laughing a few times, he said: "Yes, Liu Aiqing, using small characters can indeed save expenses, but it is not possible to just say it. Liu Aiqing has thought about how to shrink a few pieces of paper into one? Is there any specific way?"
Yang Jingwei was not going to go on the battlefield in person, and was preparing to see how Liu Jishan could suit his own wishes. Yang Jingwei's ultimate goal was actually the same blackboard writing method as modern typesetting, from left to right, line after line, and punctuation in the middle. Of course, this was just Yang Jingwei's wishful thinking. Yang Jingwei planned to use this person who took the initiative to rely on him, try it, and use him to fight with the literati, so that he can enjoy the happiness of his own, which is much better than standing up to fight.
"Report to the emperor, the criminals think that as the emperor said, using the words as the size of a thumbnail, tighten the distance between the words. In this way, four or five pieces of paper can be reduced into one piece of paper, saving more than 50% of the original expenses. It can really save a lot of money for the court, which is actually the virtue of His Majesty the Emperor..."
Yang Jing didn't care about his flattery at all. What he cared about was that this person was willing to stand on the front for himself and fight against the literati in the world. This was enough. Just give him some support behind him. He didn't want to stand up and lead a group of people to do this. This was too tiring. Yang Jing did not have the energy and practice to do this.
"This, Liu Aiqing, you can't understand it at the moment just saying that I can't understand it, but if there is a written paper for me to see it, isn't it clear at a glance?" It's better to look at the picture once or once at a glance when saying 10,000 words. Yang Jie is an emperor, not a technical engineer, so he naturally doesn't have the energy to "invent" a new way of writing with Liu Jishan.
"Report to Your Majesty, some, some, I have already thought of the way to write, and I'll ask Your Majesty to take a look." Liu Jishan immediately replied happily. The emperor was a little interested in this, that is, his "arrogance" plan seemed to be successful, or he could not leave a shameful, ridiculous, and pathetic reputation in history. Of course, if the emperor was not interested in this, then he would probably have no other way to go except to die. Of course, even if he died, his reputation for his eternal infamy and ridicule could be considered as a matter of being left. Therefore, he could not die and had to change the records left in the history books.
Liu Jishan groped in his arms for a while, took out a few pieces of paper, raised his head high, and reported: "Your Majesty, I have prepared several examples and wrote them together with three or four pieces of paper into one piece of paper, and I will also ask the emperor to read it."
Yang Jingwei didn't expect that Liu Jishan spent some time and made a sample for himself. He became interested and said, "Come on it."
Wang Chengen walked over, took the few pieces of paper held high above Liu Jishan's head, turned around, and flipped it without leaving any trace, shaking it off. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he then placed it in front of Chongzhen.
Yang Jie looked through it and found that one of the papers was densely filled with words, and the last few were the usual writing methods. Liu Jishan really moved the words on several sheets of paper to one sheet of paper, and the handwriting became much smaller.
However, the words written are really not very good-looking, and they are comparable to your own characters. Some of the traditional characters are much larger than other characters because they have too many strokes, so people look quite uncomfortable. I guess the words on the paper also have opinions. Why are you much bigger than me because they are all characters on the same piece of paper? This is too unfair.
What's more serious is that there are no punctuation marks yet. It seems that this piece of paper is slightly better than the ghost drawing talisman. Looking at the back, the handwriting is clear and the layout is clear, and the writing is elegant.
Yang Jing frowned and said, "Liu Aiqing, your word is written on a few pieces of paper, but you are too ugly to see it, you can't recognize it at all! Do you think the ministers will agree?"
Liu Jishan also made this thing in a hurry, and immediately ran to the outside of the Meridian Gate and knelt down, so there was no time to perfect it. Logically speaking, if you don’t say that the things presented to the emperor are perfect, at least you can’t taint the holy eyes of His Majesty. Liu Jishan quickly explained: “Your Majesty, this is written in a hurry, so there is something... Please give me some time, and I will write it very well.”
Yang Jing thought for a while and felt that he should help Liu Jishan. He still needed someone standing at the front to compete with those literati. So he said, "Liu Aiqing, after I have seen your method of combining characters, I have some suggestions, I don't know if you can listen to it."
"Report to Your Majesty, I will definitely follow your orders and devote my wholeheartedness to Your Majesty... I also ask the emperor to give you advice, I will remember it in my heart..."
