The next visit was also an eye-opener for everyone.
In this new city, the most central location is the imperial palace, and outside the square around the imperial palace are the mansions of some court ministers, and further outside are the ministries and departments.
Everyone went directly to the east of the city, and finally saw what the unfinished city looked like.
On the wide road, countless tractors and trucks come and go.
The few upper floors that are still under construction have huge stone and timber racks that hang materials upwards.
Crowds spread everywhere like ants.
Such a sight was quite spectacular, and even Ren Baqian was a little lost when he saw it.
Much like a modern construction site.
Especially those tractors and trucks on the road.
But modern construction sites are not so huge, even Wuji City is nothing compared to this city.
You must know that this city has used more than 100,000 manpower.
"What's the name of this city?"
"Emperor Capital!" Ren Baqian replied lightly.
Other cities called imperial capitals are all synonymous.
But here is different, the name is given by the empress, so it is called the capital.
The residence of the emperor, the imperial capital of the entire human race.
When she said this name, the empress looked arrogant, with the spirit of looking down on the world.
It has to be said that he likes the domineering look of the empress, every time he sees the empress showing such an expression, his heart will beat a few times.
Only double cultivation with such a woman is interesting.
Then, seven days later, he was carried out...
However, the name "Emperor Capital" is indeed overbearing, and even the deans of many academies were shocked.
Standing in the middle of the road, Ren Baqian pointed to the majestic city ahead and said to the crowd behind him, "This world has changed!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking about what Prince Zhao meant when he said this.
"The world has changed, and it's getting faster and faster. If you can't keep up with the changes in this world, you will be eliminated!" Ren Baqian ignored the crowd and just looked forward.
The first to be eliminated are those who cannot accept new things.
Just like on the earth decades ago, many people used smartphones, got used to mobile payments, and got used to doing everything with their phones. However, there are also many people who don’t even know how to use a smartphone.
And these people are generally old people.
They are gradually falling behind the times.
Over the next few decades, this process was repeated.
Cultivation techniques, thinking feedback technology, and various new technologies are constantly making batch after batch of people gradually unable to keep up with the changes of the times.
And in this world, it will be the same.
After sighing, Ren Baqian turned around and smiled at the people behind him: "You know? If you want to win Daxia, you can do it anytime. It's just not necessary!"
"What Prince Zhao said is very true. Even in the heyday of the Great Xia, it is impossible to resist the great Yao's soldiers. What's more, after years of fighting in the Great Xia, the people are suffering and the national power is withering!" Someone immediately said.
However, most of the deans of these academies still talk about integrity, and they will not be too flattering.
As for what he thought in his heart, it's really hard to say.
After all, the number of officials of the ancient clan is insufficient, and everyone knows this.
The ancients have a small population and few talents.
Ren Baqian didn't care what they thought, Tiandao Palace wanted to pack Daxia and tie it with a bow as a gift to him.
In the eyes of others, Great Xia, the largest country, is more of a burden in his eyes.
"Do you know why I invited you here?" Ren Baqian always stopped talking after saying a word, and then changed the topic, which made everyone a little unaccustomed.
Everyone just felt that Prince Zhao was reminding themselves of something.
As for what to remind, then I have to go back and think about it myself.
But now this problem is not difficult.
"It's a little guesswork, I don't know if it's accurate!" Someone said.
"Tell me." Ren Baqian turned around and looked at the crowd with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness wants to give these young people a chance!" the man continued.
Ren Baqian laughed, the words were quite attractive.
"That's right! Give them a chance, and give you a chance too!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback, giving those students a chance, everyone understood. What does it mean to give them a chance
"When you go back, your colleges will add a literacy class. You can pass on Dayao's simplified characters. Most of the books in the future will be written in simplified characters. If you don't know how to read or read books, I'm afraid it won't be long. I will be eliminated by this world." Ren Baqian's words silenced everyone.
We must know that words are not only a carrier for recording, carrying knowledge and exchanging ideas, but also a historical inheritance of a nation.
And the meaning in Prince Zhao's words is to change all the words
"Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible!" Even if the deans didn't want to speak again, they had to stop them at this time.
"Why not?" Ren Baqian narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the crowd, and said without waiting for them to open their mouths: "Does a country need two kinds of scripts? Unifying scripts and weights and measures is a must."
The tone is sharp and no one can refuse.
"Simplified Chinese will be the official text in the future. Newspapers will use simplified Chinese. Official documents will use simplified Chinese. Books will also use simplified Chinese. Physics, chemistry, mathematics, politics, economics, law, manufacturing, agriculture, everything, If you don’t understand Simplified Chinese, you can’t read it, so what’s the difference between the students you teach and ordinary people who haven’t gone to school?”
What Ren Baqian said made everyone's faces turn green and pale.
Then the words slowed down: "If you are willing to keep the original text, you can naturally. However, the simplified text is more conducive to learning and dissemination, and must be promoted."
After finishing speaking, Ren Baqian didn't say any more, and let everyone think for themselves what is important.
After thinking about it, I added: "Simplified characters will also be used in future exams."
Everyone was in a mess at first, but they still cheered up when they heard the words. Prince Zhao mentioned the big exam. Could it be that the national exam is going to be held
You must know that Izumo has been dead for six and a half years. During these six and a half years, the students of the college have no way to advance. They can only work for the chamber of commerce, or serve as staff for some officials. The same, it is possible to enter the court as an official!
"In about two or three years, the national examination will be held again, and then the imperial court will issue a document. And it is not limited to men and women, even women, as long as they have enough knowledge, they can also participate." Ren Baqian said, the last sentence was specifically to Zhitai The dean of the academy said.
He is quite optimistic about Zhitai Academy.
…
After returning to Lancheng that day, many students heard the news that the national examination will be held again, and they were very excited.
In any case, as long as the national examination is given, they have a chance.
Otherwise, no matter how knowledgeable they are, they will have nowhere to go.
Especially the many girls in Zhitai Academy were so excited when they heard the news.
Izumo has no precedent for female officials outside the palace. Even if they finish their studies, in the best case, they can only take care of the family property after they marry and become wives.
However, Prince Zhao's words gave them hope.
And they were not at all worried that Prince Zhao's words were false.
You must know that in the Great Yao Dynasty, it is not uncommon for women to be officials, and it is not uncommon for women to be generals.
As for learning simplified characters, they didn't have as much reaction as those deans.
Many people are also very interested in the weird things in Zizhu Academy!
