"Miss Zheng is full of praise. Neither my eldest father nor my father-in-law went to school. They have been doing business in mountain goods and pearls in Liaodong. In my generation, several cousins also inherited the family business and only gave me a few educations.
In the 1980s, I originally wanted to be an examiner in Fushun, but I was favored by the Great Khan and recruited as a pen-poster. I originally created Manchu with Erdeni Bakshi, so I can be considered a half-scholar."
Baksh means "doctor, one who can write" in Mongolian, and Erdeni was the leader who ordered Nurhaci to create the Manchu language based on Mongolian.
Zheng Haizhu continued to interpret the reverence in his eyes: "It turns out to be Dr. Tong. Are Dr. Tong's uncles and brothers still over there in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, yes, there are several big markets there every year. The horse markets in Fushun and Kaiyuan are very lively."
"Oh, what a coincidence," Zheng Haizhu said with a smile, "Actually, I am also a businessman. Where is Mr. Tong's house? I will visit next year to see if there is anything I can buy and ship to the south."
Tong Yangding was unprepared and clasped his hands and said, "That's good. We, Tong, live in Magendan, south of Fushun. Now the owner of the house is his cousin, named Tong Yangxing. I'll write a letter to the girl and ask my cousin to treat me well. Oops.
, Miss Zheng is someone who does great things at first sight."
As Tong Yangding spoke, he eagerly turned to lay down some paper and started writing.
Zheng Haizhu looked at his enthusiastic and joyful expression, suppressed a trace of reluctance, and thought to himself: Ma Gendan, Tong Yangxing, remember, it will not be your cousin who entertains me well, but we who entertain your cousin well.
Tong Yangding quickly wrote the recommendation letter and handed it to Zheng Haizhu.
Zheng Haizhu took it and praised it first, then asked if it was birch bark paper.
Tong Yangding said: "The paper in the Ming Dynasty is too expensive to use. It is made from the pulp of Achnatherum splendens and Hemerocallis fulva near the old city. The Manchus call it mulberry paper. It will not break when worn. It can be used for writing."
.”
Zheng Haizhu secretly rejoiced, what I want is your "only share".
She then sat down opposite Tong Yangding and said politely: "Mr. Tong, let's start drawing the map. Before drawing the map, I will tell you some new names first, and please write it down. Outside the Ming Dynasty, there are seven vast places.
The sea, the Thais call it the Seven Seas."
"Seven Oceans."
Tong Yangding Gonggong neatly wrote Chinese characters on the mulberry paper, and wrote several Manchu characters on the side like earthworms entwining branches.
Zheng Haizhu leaned over with a studious look on his face: "This is the Manchu script created by Mr. Tong and Erdeni? It's quite difficult to see."
Tong Yangding said: "In fact, it is not difficult to learn for those who can speak Mongolian and Manchu. For example, the Manchu pronunciation of 'Na Dan' for seven is half the pronunciation of Mongolian... This big character is made using the Manchu character creation method.
It’s the same thing.”
Zheng Haizhu showed a look of enlightenment: "I see, so if you memorize the pronunciation of the Manchu characters, you can read them when you see them, and then you can understand the meaning based on the words you read? This is the same as our Chinese way of making characters.
French style, very different.”
Tong Yangding nodded.
Zheng Haizhu said: "Continue talking about the seven oceans. The largest one is divided into two oceans, the North and South, and is called the Pacific Ocean. Because sailors hate its dangerous and deep waves, they pray for smooth and clear travel."
Tong Yangxing wrote it in both Manchu and Chinese languages.
Zheng Haizhu picked out the four characters "South, North, Hate, and Ming" and once again asked about the contrasting letters in Manchu.
Tong Yangding informed them one by one.
In this way, throughout the day, Zheng Haizhu learned more than twenty Manchu texts that she wanted to frame for Nurhachi.
In fact, it's not a frame-up, it's just a spoiler in advance.
