Wei Zheng and the others were also thinking deeply, but when they thought about it, it seemed that Zhao Cheng was right and there was no problem.
Datang Central Hospital has indeed modified the education model of Taiyuan Hospital to make it more suitable for training medical students.
Zhao Chen smiled and looked at the minister next to him who was refuting him: "Okay, my lord, on this first point, do you have anything else to refute me?"
The minister looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Husband-in-law, this reason for poaching students from Tai Hospital is reasonable, but the second point is that you not only poached students from Tai Hospital, you also poached students from other hospitals!"
He said directly: "You gave a lecture in the Imperial College at that time, but do you still remember what you said?"
Zhao Chen looked at him with a smile: "I remember everything clearly."
"Okay, Prince Consort, you said that we should implement the Tang Literacy Plan and nine-year compulsory education, right?"
"Of course, any questions?"
The minister directly raised his hands and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the reason used by the consort is extremely ridiculous. Learning words and sentences can only be achieved by studying hard in the cold window. With just a few hundred students in the Imperial College, how can they achieve literacy in the Tang Dynasty?" ? This is just an excuse for the prince-in-law to deliberately kidnap students from the Imperial College."
A courtier next to him also said: "Your Majesty, this is true. It is impossible to make every citizen of the Tang Dynasty literate. It must start from the time of childhood enlightenment and study for three to five or six years." , can be literate. If the Prince Consort wants to forcefully promote the Tang Dynasty Literacy Program and raise the literacy rate of all people to a considerable number, I am afraid that it will take decades and a lot of manpower and material resources, which will be detrimental to the national treasury. It¡¯s going to be a heavy burden.¡±
The other ministers also nodded secretly. It would be too difficult to start learning when you were young and then learn it when you grow up. Another thing is that the entry threshold for learning is very high.
Kong Yingda also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Prince Consort's plan cannot be implemented because there are still the following difficulties. The first is sentence reading and learning. My colleague has already said this before. Another point, I think, our Datang It is very difficult to learn Chinese characters. If you miss the golden learning time when you are a child, it will be very difficult to learn it when you grow up."
What Kong Yingda said makes sense, because in the Tang Dynasty, there was no formal punctuation mark. In the teaching materials used in township private schools, words were read from top to bottom, and there were no punctuation marks. Therefore, it was particularly important to understand the text and sentence segmentation. During the enlightenment period, this was mainly what teachers taught.
Another point is that the characters used in the Tang Dynasty were traditional Chinese characters!
The difficulty of learning and memorizing traditional Chinese characters is very high, and there are many strokes, which is very difficult.
The other officials, including Changsun Wuji and others, also agreed with this point of view.
Many plans can¡¯t just be put forward, they must have the possibility of being implemented. If not, the plan cannot be implemented, and it will be meaningless.
For the current Tang Dynasty, it is obvious that it is impossible to spend countless human and financial resources on literacy campaigns. The most important issue in the Tang Dynasty now is military issues.
However, Zhao Chen remained calm and calm, and folded the fan and said, "Your Majesty, as for the problems Master Kong mentioned, I have actually solved them."
ah?
Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, and the ministers were even more stunned.
Kong Yingda reacted and asked quickly: "Consort, what do you mean? You said it was solved, what solved it?"
"It's simple. It's just the sentence reading problem you mentioned before, and the font difficulty problem."
Kong Yingda frowned: "May I ask how the consort solved it?"
Zhao Chen laughed: "As for the problem of sentence reading, this is the simplest. If the words in an article are connected together, why don't we use some standard symbols to separate these words? In this way, the meaning of the article can also be It¡¯s made clear.¡±
"Standard symbol? Prince Consort, this is not that easy."
"It's okay, I'm ready."
Kong Yingda was a little confused, and the officials around him were a little dull.
What?
Are you ready?
Then, they saw Zhao Chen calmly take out a memorial from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, these are the punctuation marks prepared by me. Please take a look at them."
The eunuch went up with the memorial. When Li Shimin took a look, he saw only one sentence written on it, "It doesn't matter whether it's rice, noodles, chicken, duck, fish, or money."
"Your Majesty, these words are the teaching benefits offered by a certain squire to scholars., how should we pronounce His Majesty¡¯s treatment? "
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay without rice and noodles, it's okay without chickens and ducks, it's okay without fish, it's okay without money."
Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes, this is a way of reading, but if you add a little punctuation, it will be completely different. Your Majesty, please turn the page."
Li Shimin unfolded the memorial again, and only saw on the second page that it read: "No rice, noodles are OK, no chicken, duck is OK, no fish, meat is OK, no silver, money is OK".
Li Shimin had an interesting look on his face, and when he looked down, he saw punctuation marks.
"Huh?"
Li Shimin looked a little surprised. These punctuation marks seemed to be better than the current ones.
Seeing Li Shimin¡¯s surprised expression, the ministers below were all a little curious. What was the punctuation mark that even His Majesty was surprised by?
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and gave the memorial to the eunuch: "Go and pass it on to everyone."
Soon, this memorial with punctuation marks was circulated among Fang Xuanling and others. Kong Yingda also saw it. After seeing the sentence with punctuation marks, he couldn't help but be shocked!
These punctuation marks seem to be specially created for the words of the article!
It can be said that if there are punctuation marks, the threshold for reading will be greatly reduced!
And these symbols, such as commas, periods, and exclamation points, can also express various different functions. This is simply a genius invention!
It¡¯s comparable to Cangjie¡¯s creation of characters!
Kong Yingda's heart was filled with excitement. He knew that this would be an extremely important invention.
The other ministers were also whispering, and Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou and others also had shock in their eyes.
"Consort, are you really the one who created this punctuation mark?"
Kong Yingda couldn't help but ask.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
Zhao Chen admitted it directly.
After all, he was the only modern person in the Tang Dynasty. Is it reasonable to plagiarize the creation of punctuation marks?
Kong Yingda suppressed his excitement and asked again: "Prince-in-law, this only solves one problem, and there is still another problem that has not been solved. Punctuation marks do make reading articles easier, but for ordinary people, they have to Learning words still requires a lot of time.¡±
Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Kong, I am also ready in this regard."
"Consort, are you ready? You mean, you can make it easier for ordinary people to learn to read?"
Kong Yingda was a little confused.
Zhao Chen smiled: "That's right, we just need to simplify the traditional Chinese characters."
Kong Yingda couldn't help but said: "How easy is this?"
"Master Kong, I am not very talented, so I have simplified it."
What?
Kong Yingda looked dull, and the ministers next to him looked confused. Then in the shocked eyes of everyone, Zhao Chen took out another memorial. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
