The ancient Chinese once had no punctuation marks.

But the sentence reading cannot be mastered without long-term training.

Therefore, even if you master printing and papermaking, the cost of cultural communication is greatly reduced, and the educational efficiency is still very limited.

Mr. Guo knows what punctuation marks are, and also knows the meaning of the existence of punctuation marks.

The use of punctuation marks is a decisive blow to the Five Classics and Fourteen Dharmas.

The classics are made with brand new punctuation marks, and the emperor's coercive force is fixed, and cannot be changed, and other explanations are not allowed to continue.

And from then on, all books must be made with punctuation marks to make complete sentences, and they can be recognized by the emperor before they can be published throughout the world and let people learn.

In this way, we will cut off disputes, issue orders, and eliminate middlemen who try to monopolize the right to interpret.

In this way, the cultural monopoly of the gentry can be fundamentally broken and swept them into the garbage dump of history.

It directly brings Chinese civilization into the next era, and goes beyond these hundreds of years of extremely boring portal disputes.

In fact, Mr. Guo has already started doing this.

All the classic books in the line-bound books produced in the secret workshop in the Taihang Mountains were made by Mr. Guo himself and ordered to be published.

Period, comma, colon, exclamation mark, question mark, dash, semicolon, book title...

All the punctuation marks such as waiting and waiting were used by Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo has received the elite education provided by Lu Zhi, learned to read sentences, and has the ability to break sentences.

In his early years, under the guidance of Cai Yong, he participated in the recording of the Xiping Stone Sutra in Dongguan, Luoyang, and read the fourteen methods of pronunciation of five classics and different characters.

Therefore, Mr. Guo has some understanding of the interpretation methods of the Five Classics and Fourteen Laws, and has also received specific guidance from Lu Zhi.

When breaking sentences, he mainly makes his own judgments based on his own views and some tone auxiliary words, and also has some unforgettable modern memories, and uses punctuation to make new breaking sentences and annotations to the five classics.

Then hand over the five classics after the sentence you made are written to the factory for printing.

In addition, there are other books, books that Mr. Guo can get, and he finds time to read them one by one and make a breakdown while reading them.

"Han Feizi", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Mozi", "Zhuangzi".

All these were broken by him and published, taught in Linzi training camp, and taught to Guo Jin personally for him to learn.

As for some training camp exclusive textbooks he led and teaching them how to do some practical things, of course, they also directly used plain language and punctuation marks.

Reject awkward and difficult sentences, and reject deliberate and difficult educational methods.

Simple, easy to understand, efficient.

When teaching the children of the training camp knowledge in Linzi training camp, Guo would first send someone to teach them how to know punctuation marks and teach them to use punctuation marks.

And teach them how to write articles and sentence sentences by themselves using punctuation marks.

With clear and clear punctuation marks and one-person textbook teaching method, teaching efficiency has been greatly improved, class-based education methods can be fully realized, and mass production of talents can be achieved in a certain sense.

Not to mention too much at the moment, it is still possible to do three or five hundred people a year.

If such teaching methods can be expanded in the future and a stable source of students is obtained, the gap in talent will be completely solved.

This is a clear future that can be seen.

This is a punctuation revolution that determines future destiny.

The biggest difficulty at the moment is that among the senior elite talents in the country, there are not many who are willing to stand on their side.

Not to mention the top elite talents who only account for one tenth of them.

There must be very few people in this group who can accept this plan.

Because this plan completely destroys their interests and is completely directed at their interests.

Especially those families with family classics with disciples and old officials are absolute opponents. The Great Punctuation Revolution will completely revolutionize their lives.

The fourteen schools that have become academic denominations by learning their family rules will probably rise up and protest strongly.

This will also touch their interests.

They will definitely strongly oppose it and launch fierce protests. Even government officials with stakeholders will fight against themselves with strong actions of collective resignation.

Non-stakeholder aristocratic officials will also stand on their side out of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox and some kind of exchange of interests.

Their collective resignation could completely cause paralysis of the entire national administrative system, and the administration of the Wei Empire would immediately fall into a stagnation.

If you do something else and mobilize the people in the manor who are not in control of Guo, you will be in a hurry to do something like rebellion.

That was a fatal blow to the Wei Empire.

Not to mention the grassroots level, the higher the level, the greater the proportion of scholars and bureaucrats.

This is especially true in the central government.

Despite repeated attacks by Guo, the proportion of scholars and bureaucrats in the central government of the Wei Empire still accounted for about 70%, while only about 30% of the poor bureaucrats were found. The common officials who were blocked from the rise channels were completely missing.

If all these scholars and bureaucrats give up, even if they are just non-violent and uncooperative movements, it will be an unbearable burden for Mr. Guo.

Only 30% of the poor bureaucrats were not enough to replace these tried and experienced scholar bureaucrats in a short period of time, and could not undertake the administrative work of the Wei Empire.

Mr. Guo cannot provide enough reliable talents to replace them, and the talents Mr. Guo cultivated himself have not yet been able to replace these top-level decision-making bureaucrats.

A country cannot have a king for a day, and it cannot have an unorganized state for a day.

If they execute with coercive force, they will kill them all, and of course all the problems will be solved.

But, after this, how should the country govern?

These opponents did have their butts stumbled, but their ruling ability is also indispensable to the country.

If they were killed, the second-level rural government was fine, because the second-level rural government did not have scholars and bureaucrats, but the central government of Wei State and the local administrative system at the prefectures and counties at the county level will surely usher in a large-scale paralysis.

If national order is to be maintained, all-round military control must be carried out.

Such a future, Mr. Guo dare not imagine.

With Mr. Guo’s military strength, he could completely eradicate all the gentry and destroy all the flesh of the gentry family without leaving any one.

If you go crazy and ignore it, you can even kill Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, what you say, and kill them together, and it will be completely clean and extremely happy.

Then you can also eliminate the powerful manor together and completely control everything in the entire empire.

Fortunately, only about 500,000 people were killed, but blood was flowing into rivers and corpses accumulated like mountains.

Not difficult.

And as he kills, the other party may just kneel down and surrender and dare not do anything. Guo directly gains a group of brainless licking dogs, and successfully takes charge of the country. He can do whatever he wants.

To be honest, at some moments, Mr. Guo really thought about it this way.

Even if you can change the limit of the 500,000 Wei army you have, it is completely possible to do it, so military power is the foundation of feudal dictatorship.

Of course, after calming down, Guo still smiled bitterly, feeling that if he had a little bit of rationality, he would not do this.

Doing so will the superstructure of the entire country be destroyed.

He talks with a knife in everything. As long as it doesn't suit his heart, he doesn't care whether it's suitable or not. He raises the knife without saying a word and uses a move to eliminate it...

Is this still a normal country?

Is Guo a Thanos?

If you really want to do this, you don’t know what will happen in the future.

This is also the savvy point of scholars, the terrible point of monopoly, and the headache for every centralized emperor.

Therefore, Mr. Guo can only follow the established strategy and use unobtrusive means to slowly and silently moisten things through quantitative changes to achieve qualitative change.

He thought of gradually winning over more officials on his side, gradually cultivating and promoting officials who support the Punctuation Revolution, so that they can occupy a certain proportion of governments at all levels.

After the proportion reaches a certain level, the gentry as a group will be collectively abandoned and transformed by Guo.

The top gentry with family traditions and the first-class gentry who are close to them must be opponents of Mr. Guo.

The victims of this type of behavior - poor bureaucrats and even more miserable civil bureaucrats, must be supporters of Mr. Guo.

But in the central government, there are definitely less support than opposing, and there will be a lot of opposition.

The appearance of punctuation marks is simply to dig their ancestral graves, and it would be strange if they could accept them.

Not to mention the top gentry who have the right to interpret the interests directly related.

There are also first-class gentry who are close to them and have family traditions. Even the second-, third- and fourth-class gentry who are at the bottom of the gentry's contempt chain may not support Guo.

The Punctuation Revolution was aimed at all scholars who wanted to monopolize culture and protect their own interests, and targeted at all those who wanted to be cultural aristocrats. In this group, there must be very few people with the opposite attitude.

There are individuals who betray the class, but there are no classes who betray the class.

Mr. Guo has no energy to find individuals who are willing to betray the class one by one. It can only be said that such people will appear in the future Great Revolution.

What Guo needs to do is to ensure that in this revolution, the normal operation of the national government will not be paralyzed without compromising scholars and bureaucrats fighting against Guo in all aspects.

This is the most important premise. It must be able to maintain the normal operation of the government and the normal operation of the state administrative machines and violent machines.

Only then can we persecute scholars on a large scale.

Killing, exile, demotion, suppression.
To be continued...
