Chapter 193

Lu Ning first gave Guan Ning the things that Cai Yan wrote on his behalf to Guan Ning, and Mr. Cai each, and let them read them first. After they finished reading them, Lu Ning would explain it in detail. This would be easier. While Lu Ning was drinking tea, Guan Ning and the others read it for a while before saying, "Ziyi, you might as well give us a detailed explanation from scratch."

Lu Ning gave a comprehensive explanation of the Chinese pinyin that all the first graders of elementary school students in later generations, who should be regarded as the chief expert in later generations. Lu Ning said it while giving examples, which made the people present stunned. This was too irrelevant and too magical, especially Sima Lang, who always likes to say that Lu Ning is a rough man, was even more speechless. He would never dream of Lu Ning being able to create such an unprecedented thing.

Guan Ning thought for a while and asked Lu Ning: "Ziyi, the Chinese dictionary you are talking about can only use pinyin to find Chinese characters you don't know. If you know Chinese characters and want to find pronunciation, what should you do?"

When Lu Ning heard this, he said, "Good Confucianism is a great Confucianism, which is better than ordinary people's brains, and immediately thought of the key to the problem. How did Lu Ning answer: "Master, when you write a Chinese dictionary, you can write it according to the pronunciation of Chinese characters and the edge radicals of Chinese characters. In this way, you can find the pronunciation and meaning of the character based on the edge radicals of Chinese characters." Lu Ning gave a detailed introduction to how to write a dictionary, which made them ecstatic. This writing method is so awesome. There is really such a method in the world.

It took Lu Ning several days to explain the Chinese pinyin scheme to them. After figuring it out, Sima Lang said: "Brother, I didn't expect that you could even come up with such a world-renowned thing. This method has a huge impact on the scholars of my great Han Dynasty and is also of great benefit to educating the people. After Guan Daxian and Mr. Cai's Chinese dictionary was compiled, my brother's prestige in the Confucian world would be famous all over the world."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Fifth brother, you have been proud of me. I don't want to become a name for me. I just want this thing to be made as soon as possible, so that the people in our jurisdiction will benefit as soon as possible."

Guan Ning thought for a while and said, "Ziyi, you said that after we have written it, you can print it in large quantities without manual copying. Is this true?"

Lu Ning smiled and said to Guan Ning: "Master, don't worry. Deheng has invented a method of printing movable type. It can print thousands of copies every day without manual copying. Then we will sell this dictionary to the world. Master, the person who writes you can make a lot of money."

After hearing this, Guan Ning said angrily: "Nonsense, the book is written for people, how can you make money? This is against etiquette."

Damn, did you make a mistake? How much does it cost to give it to someone? It's such a pedantic old man. Lu Ning said seriously: "Master, if you write well and print books, you will use them to give it to someone. Then the writing is not a waste of time. Besides, if you want to print this book, it will require a lot of labor costs, paper costs, machine depreciation costs, ink costs, typesetting costs, plate making costs, writing costs, etc. So who will pay for these costs? You won't say that you asked me to pay. I have so much money to pay. This is not OK, even if you have money,

You can't do this. Besides, if you give the book to someone, how many people will cherish it? They can throw it around and they won't cherish it because they can get it without spending money; if they are asked to buy it themselves, will they still lose it at will? Surely not, because it was bought by him himself, so he will cherish it. Therefore, this book can only be sold and has to pay the manuscript fee for the editor. The printing factory also needs to make money, and the merchants selling books also need to make money. This will lead to a virtuous cycle, otherwise who would be willing to work in vain?"

Guan Ning thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, let's do as you said first."

What makes sense? That is the truth. After you write it, Lu Ning will definitely make a big profit. Lu Ning laughed out loud. "Master, now I will explain the punctuation marks of the words and sentences to you."

Guan Ning said: "Okay."

Lu Ning explained the use of various punctuation marks and precautions. After listening to them, they all felt that after this method, they would not break the sentences themselves when reading books in the future. They just need to read them and would not make the meaning wrong. It is indeed a good idea. After they all figured it out, Lu Ning said: "Master, Mr. Cai, you can use this method to do it at one time when writing dictionaries, so as to save trouble in the future."

Guan Ning said: "Ziyi, don't worry. Since there is such a good method, we will of course use it."

Lu Ning looked at everyone with a smile, and then slowly said, "Master, Mr. Cai, you all understand the punctuation marks of Chinese pinyin schemes and Chinese characters' punctuation now, but I still want to discuss with you one thing, which is also related to the popularization of my Chinese characters and the spread of Chinese knowledge?"

Guan Ning heard this and glanced at Lu Ning. What tricks does this kid have? Maybe he will make some shocking words. What is this kid's belly? How come there are so many new things? "Ziyi, what's going on? You can tell me first?"

Lu Ning looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and laughed loudly, "What's wrong with you? Look at me like animals. Master, Mr. Cai, I wonder if you can reform our Han characters when compiling dictionaries. This will help the popularization of Chinese characters, the dissemination of knowledge, and the improvement of the quality of the people. Only when the quality of the whole nation is truly improved can our nation have hope and national rejuvenation have hope! Originally, these tasks should be done by the emperor and the ministers in the court, but from the emperor to the ministers in the court,

When it comes to local officials, no one is thinking about how to make money. I will think about the rejuvenation of the Han people and the people. By the way, now the little emperor is a puppet, and even his life is in the hands of Fatty Dong. Fatty Dong, like me, doesn’t know a big word, and he will not care about the prosperity of our nation. He always thinks that he will rape the palace maids and become more corrupt in the palace. They can’t rely on them. I think I can only know the master, Mr. Cai, you great scholars hiding in the mountains and forests.”

Guan Ning and others could not figure out what Lu Ning wanted to say and why did he say so much nonsense. Mr. Cai said, "Ziyi, just say whatever you want to say. I still believe you. Last year, you said I would be recruited by the court. You said that I would be recruited by the court, but it was not the court, but Dong Zhuo. I have decided to ignore his recruitment. I should stay and write a dictionary with You'an."
