Qin
Mo naturally did not know that Li Er was preparing to recruit him as his son-in-law. After he set the examination questions, he began to shut himself up and tried to make big news.
The so-called big news was Pinyin and the Xinhua dictionary.
In ancient times, because there was no standard Chinese Pinyin scheme, people often used two common words to spell out the pronunciation of the new word when teaching new words. This method was obviously too complicated and difficult to read accurately.
Since there was no standard Pinyin in ancient times, it hindered the development of society. Especially for the poor scholars, if they didn't have a teacher to guide them, it would be very difficult for them to even read.
Who invented Hanyu Pinyin? It was interesting to say that he was a foreigner. Ancient Chinese characters mostly used the pronunciation method of "two-word tangency", such as "east"(all cage cut). This method was obviously too complicated and difficult to read accurately. In the year 1610, a French missionary named Ginniglia came to China. He was very familiar with China.
In 1626, he wrote a book titled "Western and Chinese Confucianism", which was the first time he accurately recorded the pronunciation of Chinese characters in the Pinyin alphabets. During his time in China, he got to know Han Yun, Wang Zheng, and others. With their help, he compiled the first Romanized Pinyin vocabulary in China based on the Western book "Miracle of the West" written by Matteo Ricci and other missionaries.
The function of Pinyin was self-evident. Even Li Er, who had never learned it before, knew its important function. This would greatly reduce the difficulty of learning.
On the other hand, the Xinhua dictionary allowed scholars to learn knowledge without the guidance of a famous teacher.
However, Qin Mo was a lazy person. It was impossible for him to write a dictionary by himself. That would take a lot of time, which was something he did not want to do. He still had a lot of life to enjoy.
Therefore, he only planned to learn how to use Pinyin and teach it to Kong Yingda and the others. He would let them do whatever they wanted. If there was anything they didn't understand, he would give them some pointers.
He could buy a ready-made Xinhua dictionary from Taobao, but there were many things in it that involved things after the Tang Dynasty. If he took it out, he was afraid that Li Er would check the water meter.
Moreover, some of the words in the Tang Dynasty were different from the current spellings.
He knew how to read Pinyin, but he was still a little lacking when it came to teaching students.
Hence, Qin Mo began to study hard and improve every day.
There were 23 initial syllables, 37 final syllables, and 4 tones in the Chinese Pinyin.
It took Qin Mo two whole days to master the pronunciation of Pinyin. His learning speed could be considered godly.
During these two days, another big event happened. The ice shop was finally renovated and opened.
In ancient times, merchants were considered cheap businesses. Old Qin and Qin Mo were both people with noble titles. Qin Mo felt quite regretful that they could not personally hold the opening ceremony.
After all, this was his first time being a boss in two lifetimes.
Although he couldn't go on stage personally, Qin Mo had already used the publicity and promotion methods of the later generations to let everyone know about the Qin Ice Shop.
On the day of the opening, it could be said that thousands of people turned out and sales exploded.
Other than the usual ice making, Qin Mo had even opened up a clean room to sell ice cream. Only women could enter.
In the Tang Dynasty, women were not allowed to go out on the streets alone. Therefore, once such an independent space for women was launched, it was very popular among the women of Chang 'an's dignitaries and became a place for summer vacation.
Qin Mo had found the recipe for the ice cream on the Internet. Although there were no professional cows, Qin Mo used buffalo milk. Naturally, cream could be made in the Tang Empire. Moreover, since there were no hormones added, the taste was even better.
Regardless of whether it was modern or ancient times, Qin Mo knew that women's money was the easiest to earn. The daily business income reached thousands of strings. The number reported by the shopkeeper made Old Qin tremble with fear.
Some worthless water and stone powder could actually turn stone into gold, making him feel like he was in a dream.
Qin Mo told him that this was science, and Old Qin couldn't help but yearn for it.
Under Qin Mo's grand blueprint for movable type printing, the old man and the others were full of energy. Every family gathered all the carpenters together and rushed to make movable type ink and copper plates day and night.
It was also because of the advent of movable type printing that Li Er, the old cunning fellow, and the others no longer dared to treat Qin Mo as a child.
What a joke. Someone who could uproot the foundations of aristocratic families, you dare to call him a child?
Not only that, but they also listed Qin Mo as a terrifying figure. The Wang Clan had only impeached him once, but in the end, they wanted to uproot his entire foundation.
At the same time, Qin Mo also rushed to make a Pinyin alphabets to explain.
The era of aristocratic families was over.
If the improvement of movable type printing and paper making was to give the children of poor families the opportunity to study and open the button to the extinction of aristocratic families, then the appearance of Chinese Pinyin and dictionary accelerated this process.
However, the aristocratic families couldn't discover the dangers of Pinyin and Dictionaries. This was the reason why Qin Mo personally went up.
Before he could find Li Er, Li Er came to his door impatiently and kicked the door violently. The reason was that Qin Mo opened the door a little late.
Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi, and Zhangsun Chong, who viewed him as a love rival, came with Li Er.
"Qin Dalang, are you really?" Li Lizhi asked.
"Yes! May I know why you are looking for my princess?”
Qin Mo broke out in a cold sweat. So you kicked my door just to see if I was there?
"Qin Dalang, you haven't come to play with me for a long time.”Li Lizhi said.
Li Er's face darkened. His daughter's resentful tone was like a resentful wife. There was no hope for this daughter.
"Brat, how's your Pinyin and dictionary coming along?”Li Er's tone was a little bad, as if someone owed him millions."You're addicted to money at such a young age. What future do you have?"”
Qin Mo instantly understood. To put it bluntly, the poor Li Er was envious of Qin Mo's wealth.
It wasn't his fault that he was rich, but Qin Mo didn't argue with him. After all, it was only right that he was poor.
These few days, the winged cavalry reported that the Qin Clan's ice shop had swept in tens of thousands of strings in just a few days, making Li Er flabbergasted.
With so much money, how much could the imperial court do? Hence, Li Er felt uncomfortable.
Qin Mo said,"Your Majesty, this is science. It has the ability to turn stone into gold. Knowledge changed fate, and science changed the future.”
Li Er's interest was piqued."You teach ice-making in that science?”
Qin Mo rolled his eyes."No, our Qin family is poor. We need to save up some money.”
Even if you were jealous, I wouldn't give you money, so how could you bite me?
"Your Majesty, the Pinyin is ready. Please take a look.”He took out the Pinyin Alphabet and spread it out on the table to explain to Li Er.
Li Er was overjoyed when he heard that."Once this item is out, it will be easy for scholars to learn how to read and write. Later, you can go to the directorate to teach Kong Yingda and the others to promote the world.”
Now, the Imperial College had become Qin Mo's experimental field for new ideas.
