"Sir, the "Datang Dictionary" has been completed today. Ma invited you to come here today, just to invite you to take a look!"

The side hall next to the editorial office of "Datang Daily".

Ma Zhou took out a thick stack of manuscripts and handed it to Li Zexuan, looking excited.

"Oh~? So soon?"

Li Zexuan was taken aback. He didn't expect that Ma Zhou called him here today for this matter, and he didn't expect the progress of the dictionary compilation would be so fast.

"Hehe, this is thanks to Mr. Li's help. Mr. Li has learned a lot from ancient and modern times, and he is full of knowledge. Ma is not as good as Ma, and so are the top scholars sent by King Wei and His Royal Highness. Since Mr. Li came, we have The compilation speed has not only increased by 10%? This has shortened a lot of time."

Ma Zhou bowed his hands respectfully to Li Gang and praised him.

"Hehe, Steward Ma is humble, your knowledge will go through a few years of precipitation and polishing, and you will definitely not be under the old man in the future!"

Li Gang nodded to Ma Zhou with a smile, then looked at Li Zexuan and said, "I never imagined that a small workshop would have such an amazing talent as Steward Ma. Li Siye is really good at it!"

It is gold that shines wherever it is. Ma Zhou's talent and learning can be discovered by caring people even if he is in the workshop. In the past month or so, he not only conquered the great scholars sent by Li Chengqian and Li Tai with his own talent, but also Li Gang, a veteran Confucian who joined in midway, also began to appreciate him.

As Bole who discovered Ma Zhou's "thousand-mile horse", Li Zexuan's face was also bright at the moment, he said with a smile:

"Haha, it's the luck of the boy and the workshop to invite Brother Ma. Of course, Mr. Li can come here to help, and the boy is very grateful. I'll let someone prepare a generous gift as a thank you!"

"Hehe, this is what you should do! Remember to give the old man a few jars of good wine. Well, this Wenrou Township is not bad. It is soft and mellow and has a long aftertaste! Give the old man two jars!"

Li Gang obviously knew that Li Zexuan was rich and powerful, so he laughed and didn't refuse.

"Haha! Since Mr. Li likes it, then the kid will definitely send two more jars!"

"Yeah~ You're a good descendant, Nuo, you'd better take a look at this newly compiled dictionary first, and then read it!"

Li Gang pointed to the dictionary in Li Zexuan's hand and smiled.

"Well, that's exactly what the kid means!"

Li Zexuan had been itching for a long time. Hearing what Li Gang said at this moment, he was welcome, and he flipped through the "Datang Dictionary" on the spot.

This "Datang Dictionary" is obviously a manuscript that has just been completed. You can smell the fragrance of ink from far away, and there is no cover. Li Zexuan didn't care about this and just read the content.

The paper used for the dictionary is new paper produced by the workshop. The paper size is based on the current book paper size. For Li Zexuan, who has used the modern "Xinhua Dictionary", such paper is a bit large, but for Tang For people of the generation, it was just right. He discussed this issue with Ma Zhou before, and finally Li Zexuan decided to conform to the times.

The first few pages, not surprisingly, belong to the catalogue part. First, they are arranged in phonetic alphabetical order, and the page numbers of each pronunciation are indicated one by one, and then a few pages of catalogues for searching characters through radicals are attached.

Looking at the "Datang Dictionary" in front of him, Li Zexuan couldn't help but miss the dilapidated "Xinhua Dictionary" he used when he was in elementary school in his previous life. He rubbed the glossy paper of the dictionary, and as soon as his heart moved, he wanted to use this "Datang Dictionary" Look up any word.

"Just check "Ze"!"

Although he had never used a dictionary since graduating from elementary school, he still remembered how to look it up in a dictionary. After a while, he found the page where "Ze" was located, and saw that it was written: "Ze is pronounced as zé. , refers to the place where water gathers, and also means grace, kindness, etc. The detailed explanation is as follows:

1. A lake with deep water or a lake with mixed water and grass.

There is water under it, called Ze, and it is also said to be moist. - "Release the Name"

2. Favor, favor.

Ze and the world are not benevolent. —— "Zhuangzi: The Great Master"

Therefore, Ximen Leopard was the commander of Ye, and he was famous all over the world. ——"Historical Records: The Biography of Ximen Leopard"

3. Acts of kindness.

The King of Yin also dared not lose the emperor, and he was not worthy of the heavens. —— "Book · Toast"

4. Underwear, underwear.

How can you say that you have no clothes, and you share the same water with your son. —— "Poem, Qin Feng, No Clothes"

5. Luck, legacy.

A gentleman's ze, and beheaded by the fifth generation. - "Mencius"

.................”

"Tsk tsk, not bad, if I hadn't looked up the dictionary today, I wouldn't have known that "Ze" had so many meanings!"

Li Zexuan sighed in his heart.

About half an hour later, Li Zexuan checked several Chinese characters at random, and the results were all smooth. The page numbers were all correct. He closed the dictionary and said with a smile:

"Yes, very good, Brother Ma, you will go to the printing department later to start preparing for printing. For the first batch, let's print a thousand copies!"

"One thousand?"

Ma Zhou held Wenrouxiang's hand, couldn't help shaking it, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, will a thousand copies be a little too much?"

"Not much, not much! Not much at all!"

Before Li Zexuan could speak, Li Gang opened his mouth, his face flushed, he stroked his beard and smiled excitedly: "Every family should prepare a copy of this kind of masterpiece, and it will take less than three years.

, I will have thousands of people who are literate and sensible in the Tang Dynasty. In such a glorious and prosperous age, even in the Qinhuang Hanwu era, it never appeared! "

"The old gentleman is right. Our "Datang Dictionary" will become a must-have reference book for children's enlightenment and even young people's imperial examinations in the future. What is a thousand copies? In the future, the cumulative sales of our "Datang Dictionary" will definitely be There will be hundreds of thousands or millions of copies! Brother Ma, don’t worry, let me print it!”

Li Zexuan answered.

Thinking about the cumulative sales volume of the "Xinhua Dictionary" in his previous life - 567 million copies, he has only printed a thousand copies, so what's there to be afraid of?

Ma Zhou was told this by the two of them, and he couldn't help but think that "Datang Dictionary" would become a holy book among all scholars, comparable to the Four Books and Five Classics. One of the dreams that come true?

"Yes, Ma will arrange the printing of the "Datang Dictionary" later, and by the way, he will promote the "Datang Dictionary" in tomorrow's newspaper!"

Ma Zhou nodded in response.

"Well, that's a good idea. Otherwise, Brother Ma, you can go now! Print a copy for me first, and I have to send it to the palace for His Majesty to see it first!"

Li Zexuan didn't expect that Ma Zhou would actually learn and use it, and he knew that he had advertised "Datang Dictionary" in the newspaper beforehand. He suddenly remembered that Li Er had previously explained that if the "Datang Dictionary" was printed, it must be sent to the palace to show him first, so Li Zexuan added.

"That's good! Ma will make arrangements!"

Ma Zhou got up, bowed hands with Li Zexuan and Li Gang, and went out.
