Chapter 271 The Imperial Examination Is Really Difficult(2/2)
What's more, if Zhu Qi writes vernacular Chinese, it will be much more convenient to promote it, and Zhu Qi is also planning to promote vernacular Chinese.
However, the biggest resistance to promoting vernacular Chinese is not court politics or policy, but productivity. You are right. You are not wrong with hearing it wrong, because productivity restricts the promotion of vernacular Chinese.
The reason why ancient people wrote classical Chinese is not because they speak like this on weekdays.
But because the things used to write are too precious, bamboo slips and cloth were used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Needless to say, the bamboo slips are made, it’s extremely troublesome.
There must be knives one by one, if they are slowly engraved in vernacular.
If you have to write about the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month, cloth is ridiculously expensive.
Even if it is a prince or aristocrat, he can never write the word "time" in vernacular.
Of course, the simpler it can be. Although paper was invented later, the production scale of paper has never been very large.
And if everyone uses so many scholars in the world, it will definitely not be enough. Even if you use classical Chinese as writing, there will often be such expensive paper in Luoyang.
And when you find that productivity has increased, the first thing you need to increase is the literacy rate.
The reason is that the people can afford it, and books can afford paper, inkstone and pen, so the literacy rate of ink will naturally increase.
After all, in this place of China, every ordinary person thinks that one day studying will change his destiny.
The idea that reading changes destiny is still very in-depth in the hearts of the people.
Zhu Qi didn't need to save much. After spending a few days writing a national policy theory, he quickly handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
His national policy theory is actually very simple, that is, vigorously develop productivity, encourage talents, and improve the level of science and technology, that's all.
As for what external conquests are all things that come to the canal. When you invent Maxim and the other party is still using a spear and bow, conquest is a question of whether you want to or not, not a question of whether you can.
Zhu Qi also wrote this sentence in the national policy. In short, it is just a sentence, as long as you can vigorously develop productivity.
Internally, to ensure that the farmers and the people have a wealth of life and can eat and wear warmly, there will be no subversion of the regime.
If external forces can guarantee suppression and monopoly in technology, it will be invincible.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for modern countries to change their dynasties. Think about it, the national armed forces are all kinds of aircraft, cannons, missiles, etc. The most important thing is that everyone's living standards have been greatly improved. How can you change your dynasties?
Who has nothing to do when you are full?
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw this national policy, he did not express any thoughts as soon as possible.
But after going back and thinking for two days, he called Zhu Qi over again. This time, not only Zhu Qizai, but also his brothers were also present.
After Zhu Yuanzhang took out this national policy for everyone to read it, he took them to the ancestral temple to worship.
The names of the other people provided by the ancestral temple of the old Zhu family are actually unverified.
But this did not prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from building Zhuzu Temple beautifully and magnificently.
After worshiping, Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Qi to the front without saying a word.
Once I praised it, I only said one thing to everyone:
If the Ming Dynasty had no son Zhu Qi, it would be like a long night forever!
