Chapter 716 Language Reform
Paul's days in Jingyao can be called good.
Rodne Eighteen gave him a mansion, and he stayed in inside and watched and met. As a new marquis, he often participated in the king's cabinet meeting.
He knew that his new title caused many people to be jealous, so most of the conferences were used as a silent listener. With his own ideas, he only found the king to express it alone after the end.
In the early days, many people in the Wangdu aristocratic circle wanted to get him. The invitations of various banquets came, but in fact he was not good at dealing with this occasion. When people started laughing, he could only laughed inexplicably.
Later, he felt that this was stupid. Whenever he started a glass of wine, he slowly tasted in the corner of the corner -he couldn't raise his motivation to participate in those boring topics.
Over time, I got the title of a cold king, and Jingyao's aristocratic circle reached a consensus -it was a bad idea to ask Marquis Paul Graman to come to the banquet.
Marquis always worked hard to reduce his sense of existence, but because of his identity, everyone couldn't really dry him aside.
The invitations from finally gradually decreased, which was exactly what Paul expected.
However, as long as they are not hostile, they will not make negative labels such as rude, mean, and indifferent.
In terms of private communication, Marquis can basically be called sincere. Some people ask him to help, as long as he can do what he can do.
Especially in terms of commerce, as the initial initiator of large -scale maritime trade in recent years, and the owner of the most developed place in the kingdom industry, Paul has mastered many important information that others are unable to know. When someone consulted him, Marquis always shared it.
Which products are demanded and where they produce important raw materials, and which company's bonds are the most preserved, and the above, although the social activities of Marquis of Graeman are not very active, Jing Yaoli still likes him a lot.
Of course, there are many people who like him, and there are many people who hate him.
In the eyes of the old -fashioned nobles, although the family of Paul Graiman can be traced back to the beginning of the kingdom, he is really difficult to call the typical Ordo noble. On the one hand, he is a place where the upstart households are piled up- The new impression of Jingyao aristocracy in Northwest Bay -on the other hand, he has made many anti -traditions.
Especially the pile of messy thoughts he proposed to Her Majesty.
Indeed, it is correct to increase income for the state treasury, and some of them are really great.
What is the attention of civilian education? This sounds not only unable to increase the income of the treasury, but spend a lot of money every year.
"His Majesty, this is not much more in the kingdom's finance in the short term. If you need a lot of talents, can there be so many aristocratic children who have received good education?" Can't you use it? "
When Rodnie 18 discussed this in his small circle of reform consultants, some people disagree.
The king's advisory group is not large, and both Paul and Magon are among them.
"I have discussed this with Marquis of Grandan." Rodnie eighteen glanced at Paul here, explaining to Earl Walsh McGea who opposed the opposition: "I think those who come from the nobility family must definitely If you are willing to work in the workshop, port and farm, do you work? "
"I think yes."
"But the above -mentioned occasions will definitely use a large number of people who are proficient in professional skills in the future, especially in operating machines. They must understand how to read and write in order to quickly learn all kinds of knowledge."
Earl McKee contempt: "But the children of the civilians are too low, stupid and clumsy, and teach them to invest too much energy and resources."
"This is a wrong point!" Rodnes 18 disagreed, saying: "Princess Irene's own schools have recruited many civilian children. I have confirmed to her. There is no big gap in learning ability.
Earl McKee shook his head: "I think individual cases are not enough to prove."
The king said, "I want to be more conclusive than the stereotypes that have been passed through the mouth."
"Well, my Majesty!" Earl McKee said, "I just hope that the investment in civilian education can be controlled. In case of real, I find that this is a bottomless hole."
Rodne Eighteen showed a smile, "We don't need them to learn poetry music, as long as we can master reading, writing and simple arithmetic. Besides, Marquis of Grandan has a point to reach ... what is called?" He looked at Paul again.
"Turnive reduction and efficiency, His Majesty." Paul responded.
"How to reduce costs and increase efficiency?" The crowds here set their sights on him.
Paul said with a little thought, and said, "As His Majesty said just now, we don't need civilian students to learn poetry, music, art, etc., etc. It is to teach them a lot of application of applied knowledge. High -efficiency, so it is best to read it quickly on the textbooks, you can understand at a glance, and you can remember it in a few times, so the grammar that passs on the upper noble society is inappropriate. "
He raised his sound: "I suggest a simplified transformation of the Ordo textbooks."
"Simplify the transformation?" Everyone was unknown.
"Yes, go simplified!"
"First, change those tortuous and lengthy traditional grammars into the simple and straightforward style of spoken language."
No mistakes in one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!
"Second, abbreviate overly complicated words appropriately, preferably within 10 letters, so that they are easy to spell and remember at a glance."
"These two measures will not only make it easier for students to learn, but also make it easier to typeset when making teaching materials, saving a lot of paper and ink. Although a book may not save a few cents, the cost savings will be huge when it is printed on a large scale."
"Another key point is that such simple teaching materials do not require a high level of cultural literacy from teachers, which will help us quickly establish an education system."
After Paul finished speaking, the room fell silent.
"Nonsense!" Earl Walsh McGee broke the silence with a sullen face.
"Yes, this is simply nonsense!"
"This is trampling on our beautiful Ordo language!"
"Insulting the precious things left to us by our ancestors!"
Many people shouted out, and all kinds of harsh criticisms rang out.
When the advisory group was first established, Rodney asked everyone to speak freely. After a period of trial, everyone found that the king seemed to be serious - the premise was that only members of the advisory group were present - from then on, everyone was not very cautious about speaking in such internal meetings.
"I just put forward an idea. As for whether to implement it and how to implement it, it all depends on your wise judgment."
Paul smiled and spread his hands without making any rebuttal.
