The First Family of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 2994 Life is not only the tiring work in front of you, but also the wife and children, food and bamboo cards
Chapter 2994 Life is not only the tiring work in front of you, but also the wife and children, food and bamboo cards
Sitting in the room, sipping tea, Li and Ma both looked at Cheng Sanlang who was greeting Qin Huaidao, Fang Jun and others.
"Cheng Sanlang (Cheng Dudu)..."
Li Jing and Ma Zhou greeted each other in unison, and then looked at each other with a tacit understanding.
Ma Zhou was very obedient to the elderly and favored the young, and motioned to Li Jing that the boss should be invited first.
"Since Mr. Wei has something to do, I would like to ask Mr. Wei to speak first. There are so many questions that I want to ask. It's not too late to ask them later."
"That's fine, then I won't be polite."
Li Jing nodded slightly towards Cheng Sanlang who was sitting opposite, and finally thought about it for a long time, but really didn't know how to ask.
After all, Fang Jun's explanation today was based on what he saw and saw, which had proven the Cheng Sanlang in front of him very simply and clearly.
He indeed had the skills and methods to make those prisoners of war his own, and began to work hard to contribute to the construction of the Liaodong region of the Tang Dynasty.
Finally, Li Jing cleared his throat and spoke.
"Today I stayed in that prisoner of war camp for a whole day. I have to say that what you did, nephew Chu Bi, really opened my eyes.
But I still don’t know a few things, and I would like to ask you for advice..."
Facing the questions from the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Sanlang naturally did not dare to neglect and cheered up to answer them one by one.
However, what surprised Cheng Sanlang was that he originally thought that the military god of the Tang Dynasty would ask about the disposal of the prisoners of war and the Khitan and Mohe tribes who were involved and loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing didn't ask a question, which made Cheng Sanlang a little disappointed.
After all, this was his proud work. Such a soft knife not only caused the Khitans to lose a lot of their young and strong people, but also the various Mohe tribes could only watch the population loss.
And it can also consolidate the Tang Dynasty's rule over Liaodong to the greatest extent and unite the people's hearts.
But Li Jing didn't ask, and he was too embarrassed to brag.
When Li Jing started drinking tea to soothe his throat, Ma Zhou's inquiry finally cheered up Cheng Sanlang.
"Captain Cheng, I heard that this thing was made by the governor."
"Yes, this little thing was indeed made by Cheng." Cheng Sanlang nodded and replied.
"...Little thing?" Ma Zhou's face darkened. He regarded it as a treasure, a good treasure that he couldn't bear to put down.
When it came to Cheng Sanlang's mouth, it actually turned into a little thing?
Hmm... This thing was created by Cheng Sanlang. He thought it was a trivial thing, so... he didn't want to get angry with this monster.
"Little Governor Cheng, do you know that since you have already produced this "Little Dictionary of Elementary School", why didn't you present it to His Majesty as early as possible?"
"With this thing, it will be easier for me, the Mengtong of the Tang Dynasty, to be enlightened..."
Ma Zhou looked very excited, his face was red and his neck was thick, and his fingers kept gesticulating and poking at the cover of the "Little Dictionary of Elementary School".
Li Jing on the side suddenly became interested, picked up this very solid book, opened it and looked at it.
His expression turned into one of confusion. What kind of weird symbols are those twists and turns on it?
Ma Zhou heard a soft chuckle from Li Jing next to him and saw that he had just turned to the page of the Pinyin alphabet.
He couldn't help but said to Cheng Sanlang, "Little Governor Cheng, I really admire you for having such a wonderful and wonderful idea."
"But why are the initial consonants and rhymes used in Chinese Pinyin so weird?"
Seeing the inquiring glances from Ma Zhou and Li Jing, Cheng Sanlang couldn't help but feel a little ache in his balls, and his eyes started to spin wildly.
"...Smoothly, ahem, Cheng thinks this is easier."
"???" Ma Zhou and Li Jing's faces suddenly darkened. Looking at Cheng Sanlang whose eyes were wandering around, they wanted to pick up the big stick.
God is so smooth, what this kid is talking about is nonsense.
Li Jing glared at Cheng Sanlang with disgust and poked his finger at the Chinese pinyin alphabet.
"Simple...what simple method? Is it possible that your kid used to know these ghost drawings?"
"Ah...hmm, yes, yes, yes, my nephew met some barbarians in the past and thought their symbols were easy to learn, so he learned them."
"Later, when I was compiling this "Little Dictionary of Elementary Education", I felt that these symbols were simple, so I used them conveniently. Well, it's that simple..."
Having said this, Cheng Sanlang, who had finally made up his mind, spread his hands and loved someone.
Please, who told me that this is what I learned when I was studying? Since there are ready-made initials and rhymes, why don't I just use them myself?
If I were from Daiwan Province, it would be easy. It would not be impossible to just use the initials and consonants of Chinese characters used in Daiwan.
But the problem is not mine. What’s more, I, Cheng, have already worried about the construction of spiritual civilization and material civilization in the Tang Dynasty.
Under the orders of my father-in-law, the feudal imperialist leader, I had to travel all over the world to make contributions.
Still have to work hard and work hard to come up with a set of Cheng Sanlang's version of Chinese pinyin behind closed doors? Sorry, I don't have the time.
If I have that time, I might as well spend more time with my wife and children, spend some free time with friends, cook some good food, eat, drink, and play some cards.
Life is not only about the tiring work in front of you, but also about your wife and children, delicious food and bamboo cards.

Moreover, Cheng Sanlang's original intention of creating the "Little Dictionary of Mengxue" was due to the prosperity of the shipping industry of merchant houses in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The ships of the Han and Tang Dynasty merchant houses traveled in all directions throughout the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean and even the Persian Gulf.
The merchants of the Han and Tang dynasties did not go there to plunder, but to do business. In some places, they wanted to stay and operate for a long time.
Then the problem comes, when dealing with the indigenous people, the indigenous languages are all kinds of strange. On an island, the languages of the tribes are not even common to each other.
All in all, Cheng Sanlang had already considered this issue after receiving the news from the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses from the south.
At the same time, he also considered that the Tang Dynasty's expansion of surrounding areas and the identity of those ethnic minorities started with language. In this case, he would first come up with something to use.
Therefore, Cheng Sanlang easily compiled the Chinese pinyin he had learned, but he came up with the main content himself, and then handed it over to the young people from Cheng University.
And after he found it, Cheng Sanlang had people send it directly to Jiaozhi and hand it over to the Han and Tang Dynasty Trading Firms.
With this kind of treasure, it will be easier for those foreign races in the world to learn Chinese and the Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty more quickly.
After all, there is only so much content in Chinese Pinyin. As long as you can master Chinese Pinyin proficiently, and then read through the enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" with Chinese Pinyin annotation.
