Between the Ruler and his Subject

In the study of the Royal Palace in the capital.

The Emperor was holding a book with a few pages in his hand. He said to Jiang Zhennan, " my Dear Minister, the Hanlin Academy has already compiled the 'dictionary' that you spoke of. Come and take a look. Is it like this? "

Jiang Zhennan took the book from the Emperor's Hand and flipped through it. Then, he frowned slightly.

This was because this " dictionary " only contained some words and some simple pictograms. It was very different from the dictionary Lin yuelan had proposed.

Lin yuelan had once told him that 2000 years later, there would be a book called 'dictionary', which was an essential tool for men, women, old, and young to read and write. As long as one didn't know the words, one would be able to look them up with the book.
