Chapter 1317 Google Translate

After returning from Sichuan, Du Lan brought back several pandas and raised them in the courtyard. Shi Lan did not expect that the famous iron-eating beast was actually a bit cute. Although it has sharp teeth and claws, it looks so cute in black and white. After looking at it for a long time, all worries disappear.

This is called winning without fighting, Du Lan smiled secretly.

However, Shi Lan had a question: "Grand Master, you don't need a guide on this journey. You even know where the lair of the iron-eating beast is. Why do you need me to accompany you?"

"If you don't accompany me, how can you get Wu Douyun?" Du Lan asked back?

Speechless, Shi Lan felt that she could not keep up with the pace of the Grand Master. Isn't this just forcing an excuse to give her something? What is the purpose of the Grand Master?

"Don't be nervous. I don't have any purpose. I just see that you are a good girl, and seeing you far away from home reminds me of my daughter, so if possible, I want to help you. There is no purpose."

Hearing what the Grand Master said, Shi Lan was relieved, but the Grand Master looked very young and already had a daughter? Is it a method of keeping youth? It is very likely that the great master's power is unfathomable. It is said that when the power reaches a certain level, it can keep one's face forever.

"Thank you." This great master may not be a bad person.

"You're welcome. I'll have to trouble you to deliver meals in the future." Du Lan said.

After Shi Lan left, Du Lan continued to invent and create. Now that paper is available, there should be printing technology, but with printing technology, there must be content to print. So Du Lan felt that he had to visit Xiaoshengxianzhuang and print all their books in small seal script.

There are works written in various languages ​​in Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Although Qin has abolished the six languages, Sanghai City is far away from the emperor, and Xiaoshengxianzhuang is proud of its status in the cultural circle, so it has not been implemented. The works of various countries are still written in various languages.

However, this has also caused that except for a few truly smart people, many people cannot read.

Du Lan's sudden visit surprised Xun Kuang. Now his three nephews have gone to realize their political ambitions, and even the students have been taken with them. Xun Kuang is the only one in the entire Xiaoshengxianzhuang. He is ready to move, but there are too many books to sort out, so he has not left yet. These books are the most important in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and he must guard them personally.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is in decline. Although the talents have been gone for a short time, the fallen leaves are flying on the path and the weeds are overgrown in the courtyard. Dust is rising, and Dulan walks leisurely through the sand alone, like a traveler on a long journey, but with a sense of dust.

Did Xiaoshengxianzhuang dismiss all the chores? Dulan thought to himself that it seems that they really value the Han Autonomous Region.

However, the Han Autonomous Region is not peaceful now, and it is in chaos. Zhang Liang and his new laws seem weak to others. People in this era are more sturdy, especially those who are determined to fight against Qin. They originally joined the autonomous region with the intention of fighting against Qin, but found that the situation was different from what they imagined. They were unwilling to change the autonomous region to what they imagined, so they violated Zhang Liang and his orders and formed gangs in the autonomous region to openly hinder production on the grounds of fighting against Qin, violating the laws of the autonomous region.

Zhang Liang and his people are so worried about these things.

Xun Kuang also knew this, so he just wanted to pack the books quickly and then go out to help his nephew with his plans.

"I guess you are Xunzi. Have you eaten yet?" Du Lan greeted the famous person politely.

Xun Kuang saw Du Lan and his face changed suddenly: "Grand Master?!" Although they had never met, Zhang Liang described Du Lan as having "the appearance of a flying phoenix, the spirit of a unicorn, and the spirit of a dragon's gallbladder". If you only look at his appearance, he is definitely a reliable man.

As soon as he saw him today, he knew that Du Lan was indeed not an ordinary person, and his words were not ordinary: "I have had breakfast." Xun Zi said strangely, how could someone ask the other person if he had eaten as soon as they met?

"That's good, we can discuss business." "I heard that Xiao Shengxianzhuang has a collection of thousands of books, and today is just the right time to satisfy my love of literature."

... The Grand Master wanted to read books, and Xun Kuang couldn't refuse, so he invited Du Lan to enter the Sutra Library. This place is completely different from the outside. Even if there are no chores, Xun Kuang still cleans up every day and dares not slack off.

Du Lan took out a bamboo slip at random, and laughed when he saw that it was not the Qin Dynasty's small seal script: "Excuse me, Xunzi, how many languages ​​do you know?"

Xunzi was shocked, knowing that the bamboo slips here had characters from different countries, which was a taboo in Qin: "I only roughly understand the characters of the six countries. Grand Master, I know that the emperor wants to abolish the characters of the six countries. I will definitely re-transcribe it in small seal script later. Please forgive me, Grand Master."

Du Lan said not to be nervous: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to ask for punishment. Xunzi, do you know paper?"

"Of course I know, this paper is the Grand Master's formula, which is convenient for scholars all over the world. The content of the heavy bamboo slips in the past only needs a few thin pages of paper to record, and the price is cheaper than silk cloth. I thank the Grand Master on behalf of scholars all over the world." This is the truth.

"This paper is just the beginning. This time I come to print all these books into books."

"What is printing?" Xunzi said that as an ancient man, he did not know such advanced technology.

"Now when you circulate books, you need to copy them, which is laborious and inevitably leads to mistakes. However, this printing technology can allow books to be mass-produced. At that time, you can buy books with just a small amount of money. From then on, reading will be an easy thing and your hands will no longer be tired. Moreover, even if the book is circulated, the content will not be misinterpreted due to copying errors."

It's not very clear, but I can roughly understand it. The Grand Master wants to make reading an easy thing. I remember that the Grand Master taught Lao Li to read before. It seems that the Grand Master thinks that everyone in the world should read.

"Grand Master, do you hope that everyone can read?" Xunzi thought that such a wish might not have been thought of by Confucius.

"If it is possible, I don't mind. I try my best to let people who have the conditions to read have books to read."

Xunzi actually had a little admiration for Du Lan, "Please accept my worship." He bowed to Du Lan.

"This still requires Xunzi's help. Please translate all these six countries' characters into Qin's small seal script first, and then write the translator's name on it so that people in the world can admire it."

Uh, this doesn't seem good. Doesn't this mean that I agree to abolish the six countries' characters? I will bear the infamy of the world. Xunzi thought that he bowed too quickly. I didn't expect that the Grand Master dug such a big pit for me to jump into.

"I know Xunzi's difficulties, but this job belongs to you. If you don't want to make your name public, you can also take a pen name. Just call it Google. Then you will appear in every book as Google Translate, and you don't have to worry about readers all over the world associating you." Although Duran said it calmly, Xunzi still heard that it was unquestionable.

He smiled bitterly, it seemed that he really couldn't get out: "Then let's do it." The pen name is not bad, as long as the world doesn't scold him, Xunzi.

The knowledge of the great master is not small. Google, does it mean the sound of the wind blowing in the valley? Comparing this sound to a song is very down-to-earth. Xunzi is very satisfied with the pen name Google.

It is imperative to unify the characters. The Qin Dynasty's small seal script is still very beautiful, but people nowadays can't see it clearly in the situation. It can only be said that reform is not easy, and there are resistances in all aspects. Even if the merits are for thousands of years, at the time of reform, there will still be full of misunderstanding and lack of support, because ordinary people only care about the present and don't care about the future.
