Gao Wu: Traveling through the heavens in dreams, a professional rebel!

Chapter 22: Phonetic alphabet, simplified dictionary, movable type printing, and compulsory literacy.

Under the blue sky on the same day, the brilliant lights of sixteen prominent families were suddenly extinguished, they were tragically wiped out, and their property was ruthlessly taken away.

This series of earth-shaking events swept across the entire Wu Dynasty like a storm.

This newly born country was instantly plunged into unprecedented turmoil and shock.

From bustling capitals to remote countryside.

No matter whether they were large and powerful families or small and aristocratic families, they all trembled at this sudden bad news.

The news spread quickly like wildfire, and every face that delivered this shocking news was filled with disbelief and fear.

The feeling of panic condensed in the air, as if even breathing became heavy and sluggish.

The sky of the Wu Dynasty seemed to dim a little because of this, and the peace and order that had just been restored were completely broken.

The streets, alleys, teahouses and taverns were filled with people whispering and talking.

There was fear of an unknown fate and fear of Emperor Wu Lin Yaozu in his eyes.

This is not just the disappearance of sixteen families, but also a earth-shaking change.

One era ends and another unknown era begins.

In the center of the storm, countless pairs of eyes are staring at the prologue that is about to unfold, waiting for either the rise of a new force or the arrival of a darker abyss.

After this, the soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army in various cities, in accordance with Lin Yaozu's orders, searched the areas where the books were hidden.

Then, they were all seized and burned.

Among them, if they encountered an obstruction, they would raise their hands and strike with a knife without saying a word.

There was no compromise in the entire process of executing the order.

For a time, there was constant bloodshed in various cities, and many people who tried to stop it were brutally hacked down.

There are scholars, literati, and other forces such as the three elders of the clan, involving all aspects and are not the same.

At sunset, huge fires were burning, covered with books, texts and historical traces.

Not far away, there were many scholars wearing white Confucian robes and having fair skin.

While crying loudly, he was also spitting and cursing wildly.

"You are sinners... sinners for all eternity! These are all precious knowledge left by our ancestors! To be burned like this! You will all be punished!"

"Damn! Damn it!"

"You disrespect our ancestors and the saints. I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!"

"..."

But despite the shouting and cursing, no one dared to step forward and stop it.

After all, there are seven or eight corpses there as a warning!
These Zhenyuan Army soldiers don't care whether the person who steps forward to stop them is a child prodigy, a talented person who is well-read in poetry and books, and has the reputation of a supreme writer.

Even a famous scholar could be killed with one blow.

In their minds, apart from Emperor Wu's will, no one else is worth mentioning.

To the soldiers, there is no difference between a great scholar and an ordinary person; one strike of the sword will kill them all.

It can even be said that if there are forces that think they have some face, they would like to step forward to dissuade it.

The outcome is the same.

kill!

All killed!
Just like what Lin Yaozu once said in his previous life, the truth is only within the caliber of the cannon.

Nowadays, there are no hot weapons in this dream world, but cold weapons are king.

To put it in a similar way, the truth is only under the sword.

If you can't win with your hard power, and you dare to have any other thoughts except compromising, there will be only one result.

at the same time.

In various luxurious manors, the self-important members of wealthy families had horrified expressions on their faces and were shouting and cursing angrily.

"The Wu Dynasty has lost the support of the people! The world will definitely overthrow this cruel Emperor Wu Lin Yaozu!"

"Raise the troops! Attack Wu!"

"Humph! Since you won't give our family a chance to survive, let's see who can survive to the end!"

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill this damned bastard! How can a mere peasant like him dare to turn the tables?"

“……”Perhaps, in the minds of these children from aristocratic families, their class represents the people.

And their mental activities are the direction of public opinion.

From the beginning to the end, the real common people have never been taken seriously.

Then, undercurrents began to surge, and various forces began to take the opportunity to collude with each other.

The 500,000-strong Zhenyuan Army in the Wu Dynasty weighed on the hearts of all the aristocratic families like a mountain.

If you blindly do something stupid before finding a solution, you are simply courting death.

In fact, since ancient times, there have been many smart people among the aristocratic families.

The same is true now.

In the following days, countless rumors appeared in various parts of the Wu Dynasty.

What? Emperor Wu Lin Yaozu is the reincarnation of the devil, from the cholera world...

What Lin Yaozu is three meters tall, likes to eat human flesh, is cruel and inhumane...

What is this? Wu Chao came to power improperly and will be punished by heaven...

All kinds of insults were pinned on Lin Yaozu's head.

As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", once rumors start, they will spread like wildfire.

In addition, those old and outdated forces that have been entrenched for a long time are doing their best to fan the flames in the shadows.

In an instant, Lin Yaozu seemed to be pushed to the forefront and became the target of public criticism.

The reputation that was once good fell like a meteor.

It deteriorated at an unimaginable speed, even to the point of causing children to stop crying.

at the same time.

The outside world is in turmoil and constant change, but the target location is calm and peaceful.

In the main hall of the imperial palace in the capital.

"Ah ah ah..."

“Bo-oh-bo…”

"Carry it with all your might! If you can't do it in two hours, I will punish you with twenty military sticks!"

"Tomorrow, we will randomly check and punish each mistake with 10 military sticks. There is no upper limit on the punishment. If you die, you will be posthumously conferred the third-level burial."

Lin Yaozu pointed at the pinyin letters on the crude template and taught as he read.

At the same time, he did not forget to issue death threats.

Not far below, a group of generals with sad faces were scratching their scalps anxiously, looking almost collapsed.

For these illiterate and rough men, recent days have been like living in purgatory and full of pain.

If they were asked to charge into battle, they would do so without hesitation, just rushing forward with swords in hand.

However, at this moment, you are required to recognize and learn those unfamiliar characters.

It is said that...it’s called...something in pinyin.

Eh!
Ah this...

It's really... too much to ask.

However, under the threat of military sticks and death, these rough men also burst out with 1000% of their motivation.

I managed to learn most of it in a short period of time, stumbling over and over again.

Although when he spelled, he seemed extremely clumsy, just like the child who had just learned pinyin in Lin Yaozu's previous life.

But for it, it is already a successful start.

Two days later.

Still in the main hall, Lin Yaozu wrote out a few simplified Chinese characters with the pinyin marked on them as test questions.

After selecting a few generals, they were all able to answer the question.

In response to this, a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah! Not bad! This training session will stop here for now!"
