830 Between the Ruler and his Subject

In the study of the Royal Palace in the capital.

The Emperor was holding a book with a few pages in his hand. He said to Jiang Zhennan, ” my Dear Minister, the Hanlin Academy has already compiled the ‘dictionary’ that you spoke of. Co and take a look. Is it like this? ”

Jiang Zhennan took the book from the Emperor’s Hand and flipped through it. Then, he frowned slightly.

This was because this ” dictionary ” only contained so words and so simple pictograms. It was very different from the dictionary Lin yuelan had proposed.

Lin yuelan had once told him that 2000 years later, there would be a book called ‘dictionary’, which was an essential tool for n, won, old, and young to read and write. As long as one didn’t know the words, one would be able to look them up with the book.

However, this book only contained so characters. If one didn’t already recognize the Chinese characters, it was pointless. But if one already recognized the characters, why would they need this book?

Seeing Jiang Zhennan frowning, the Emperor asked with so doubt, ” Minister Jiang, what’s the matter? is there any problem with this dictionary? ”

However, Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, ” Your Majesty, this dictionary is very different from the one that the expert had ntioned!”

When the Emperor heard this, he imdiately asked curiously, ” Oh, then what does the ‘dictionary’ that your expert ntioned look like? ” Then, he thought of sothing that Jiang Zhennan had ntioned to him before and asked, ” Minister Jiang, I rember you’ve ntioned sothing called the letters system. Don’t tell that the system really has such a great use?”

He was a wise ruler, and he would spare so attention to anything that was beneficial to the country and the people.

It was just that at that ti, Jiang Zhennan had ntioned the system of letters to him, but in his opinion, people who used to read and write didn’t rely on the letters. So, he didn’t take it to heart and only ordered the people of the Hanlin Academy to collect all the Chinese characters.

The corners of Jiang Zhennan’s mouth twitched slightly. At that ti, the Emperor had clearly taken this matter to heart. He did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he would think that the system was not of much use.

However, he was the Emperor after all, so Jiang Zhennan could not say anything.

He only said, ” Your Majesty, now everyone learns characters through word of mouth. After everyone has learned so characters, they can only recognize them by their shape and image. However, this way, those who want to study can’t afford the expensive tuition fees.”

The Emperor nodded and said, ” that’s right!” This was a common phenonon in the world.

For a poor family to study, they had to use up all their financial, material, and human resources to produce a scholar.

So people could find a good job with just the knowledge of a few words, such as a shopkeeper or an accountant.

However, the number of literate people in the entire country was still in the minority. There were countless cases of people being deceived and forced to sign contracts of selling themselves because they did not know how to read. This also led to a large loss in population.

The governnt could not conscript the n who were servants. However, the Army needed people, so they could only conscript the illiterate farrs.

In this way, when developing agriculture, there were no strong n to do farm work. This caused the rural areas to only have won, old, and young laborers. Without strong n, the agricultural harvest was greatly reduced.

In short, this series of reactions caused the country and people to beco poor because they were illiterate.

As the ruler of a country, the Emperor naturally had to consider the people’s livelihood.

If everyone in the Longyan Kingdom could read and write, then why would his Kingdom worry about not being rich or strong?

Therefore, he had been too negligent before.

When Jiang Zhennan saw that the Emperor had really taken his words seriously this ti, he imdiately beca very serious and said, ” that master once taught 26 letters. She told that all the words in the world can be pronounced with these twenty-six letters. As long as they are taught how to spell these twenty-six letters, it will be twice as easy for them to recognize characters.”

Hearing this, the emperor’s eyes lit up. “Minister Jiang, ” he said in surprise, ” are these 26 letters really that magical? ”

Jiang Zhennan nodded his head and said, ” Your Majesty, I have personally experienced the wonder of these twenty-six letters, so I dare not lie to Your Majesty.”

The Emperor imdiately asked, ” then what exactly are these 26 letters? Minister Jiang, tell us imdiately!”

Jiang Zhennan said, ” a, o, e…”

He repeated the twenty-six letters.
