Since the leader of Panlong Village had already been chosen, Gong San had been preparing for this for several years, and everything was ready. He, Liu Xianglian, and Jia Si immediately devoted their efforts to this matter, and Gong Kun was brought out to make up for the many problems of his third uncle.
There was no vacancy, and I was too busy to join Jia Cong’s study group. I had no choice but to read at midnight, so Jia Cong had to lead everyone to study on their own.
He soon realized that although it was no problem to talk or even write on weekdays, there were still many commonly used characters that some people either recognized but could not pronounce, or some could pronounce but did not understand. So he simply took out the Chinese pinyin and spent a few days on it.
I had enough time to force everyone to memorize the alphabet, and put a dozen books and a few charcoal pencils on the small table at the entrance of the Lixiangyuan hall. I pride myself on being good at reading, so I can mark the Chinese pinyin on it as I like. The first few
Every day there were frequent fights over charcoal, but gradually there were fewer and fewer - because all the characters I knew were marked out by others. Later, no one knew the remaining characters.
Jia Cong picked it up and looked through it, but the commonly used ones were all marked, and there were not many mistakes. Because he smiled and said to Yao'er, "Why don't we just compile a dictionary and call it..."
Yao'er shook his head: "It's too ostentatious. You can prepare it first and talk about it a few years later."
Jia Cong blinked and said, "It's not intended to be made public. This is an internal document."
Yao'er frowned: "It's a pity."
Jia Cong sighed: "Let's put it down for now, let's see the general situation later." Then he didn't mention it, and just worked with a few top students to proofread and correct the pinyin of each Shuowen Jiezi, but still put it aside.
In its original place, it was a simple handwritten version of the dictionary.
A few days later, Gong Kun came back to visit. When he saw this thing, he asked curiously: "What are you playing with?"
Wu You came up and said, "You don't know Mr. Gong, do you?"
Gong Kun said: "It seems like the foreign letters you learn every day, but they are arranged wrongly."
How rare it is that the husband who can do it all can’t do it! Everyone came up and started showing off.
Gong Kun listened for a long time before he understood something, and was shocked: "This...this..." This thing is so extraordinary that it can shock the literary world. "When are you going to take out this thing Cong'er?"
At this moment, Jia Cong had already run out of it. When he heard his question, he said, "I'm not going to take it out." He pushed his way through the crowd and got in. "If this thing was taken out, how many people would be attracted to poke their heads in.
My grandfather's military power is still there, if I come up with something to shock the literary world, will the emperor tolerate me? This is internal information, brothers. Although it is beneficial to the world's Mengtong, we should stay close to ourselves first. Yes.
Good things are hot in the house, so don't dazzle others' eyes or attract their hearts."
When Gong Kun saw him coming, he hurriedly pulled him and asked him carefully. Jia Cong took him inside. The two sat down and pointed at the letters and told him the phonetic symbols one by one. After he finished speaking, Gong Kun glanced in shock.
She glanced at him: "Who taught this?"
Jia Cong said: "I won't tell you."
Gong Kun twitched the corner of his mouth: "How many gentlemen do you have? Why are all the gentlemen who teach you some strange things missing?"
Jia Cong said casually: "What's strange? Qiu Chuji and Mei Chaofeng taught Yang Kang secretly, and not many people knew about it."
Gong Kun frowned: "Isn't that the script of the story?"
Jia Cong said: "It's a story, I didn't say it was historical facts."
Gong Kun probed and said: "Your husband is a civilized and military man. Is he one of the Seven Jiangnan Monsters?"
Jia Cong chuckled: "I won't tell you!" He warned, "Don't tell Mr. Gong about this."
Gong Kun rolled his eyes and looked at him.
Jia Cong said: "Your third uncle is a thoughtful person. This thing can be used for great purposes. I'm afraid he will use it to scheme for something. I teach everyone English, Arabic numerals and pinyin, and the standard of the meter stick I made is consistent with
The word used in the world today is different, and its meaning is to quietly set up a whole set of things that are incomprehensible to the outside world. Mr. Gong is from the older generation. The so-called generation gap means that people of different generations may see things completely opposite. And the elders love to substitute.
We make the decision, and we always think they are doing the right thing. Also, Mr. Gong is so talented but so bumpy, it is inevitable that he will make excessive profits, and he may feel uncomfortable if he sees something that is available but does not use it. I am also afraid that he is impatient."
Gong Kun couldn't help but look at him deeply for a long time, and sighed: "Every time I think I know what Third Master wants to do, you tell me more. Third Master, what do you want to do in the future? Rebellion.
What?"
Jia Cong sighed: "To be honest, I was not born to be obedient, and I will definitely rebel. But I don't want to rebel. Rebellion requires a large-scale war." He shook his head, "Changing the day requires a lot of sacrifices, and I can't bear it.
I have seen it with my own eyes. As for future generations... I can't care about it. The current emperor is not worthy of my allegiance. If I were born in an ordinary family, I would just hide out. But in this mansion... I am not sure about my
To be able to hide out with the whole family. Therefore, we must have the hidden strength to fight against the emperor. We are small in number, but we can have enough strength. If the Chinese pinyin just mentioned is publicized, it will not be of any benefit."
Gong Kun thought: "Maybe you can use your reputation to build momentum. Even the emperor may not dare to touch you easily."
Jia Cong hummed: "What does 'maybe I don't dare' mean?"
Gong Kun smiled and said: "Third Master, please speak frankly."
Jia Cong said: "Not necessarily dare means that if you want to take action, you may or may not dare. And 'dare or not' is just 'concern or not', not whether you can. If you are the emperor, you want to kill a famous person
What should I do if I am older?"
Gong Kun has been a counselor since he was a child. He has never thought about "you are the emperor" and was a little startled.
Before he could think about it, Jia Cong said first: "You can do what Zhu Di did to kill Fang Xiaoru. I dare you! Who can do anything? Do you have the ability to curse me to death? You can also do what Zhao Gou did, who obviously wanted to kill Yue Fei.
But it was Qin Hui's fault. Or maybe he was like King Zhou who was bewitched by the vixen's spell. After three days, the spell dissipated, and he regretted it! Then he named the loyal minister who accidentally killed him as the King of Yizi Bingjian, entered the Zhongyi Temple, and went to the side branch to find
A distant nephew renewed his incense, and the distant nephew who renewed his incense was granted a high official position. Within a month, the government and the public were praising him."
Gong Kun was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "You won't treat me like this in the future."
Jia Cong glanced at him and said, "You're boring! Besides, I'm not the emperor."
Gong Kun said slowly and solemnly: "The third master thinks of the king in everything, and he may be thinking about that chair in his heart."
Jia Cong shook his head: "You misunderstood. I don't have that intention. Being an emperor is too tiring. It's because I know that I, well, all the gentlemen are quite capable." After all, it is a 211 school, and the professors and assistants are not bad. "If I
If you have no scruples, sooner or later you will achieve great success. So I will first think about what I will do if one day the emperor wants to deal with me." He rubbed his eyes, "I thought about it for a long time, thinking over and over again.
.I found that if the emperor really wants to kill someone, no matter he is a great hero or a famous person, he can kill him without any scruples. Because for the emperor, there are too many ways to make compensation afterwards; and the people of the world are also extremely
It's easy to forgive him. Unless he doesn't want to kill me; or if I don't get ahead, I'll be suffocated for the rest of my life."
Gong Kun said: "I'm suspicious now. I'm telling you, if you act unscrupulously, I'm afraid the Ninth Prince may not have a good end. Therefore, he doesn't go to court, doesn't make achievements, and is like a saint's staff, so he gets this favor.
"
Jia Cong said: "It's so frustrating, I can't bear it."
Gong Kun said: "So, does Third Master have any idea?"
Jia Cong stretched out a finger: "The first thing is to have a stable base outside. This matter is too far away. Let's talk about it someday."
Gong Kun said: "Panlong Mountain."
Jia Cong shook his head: "Panlong Mountain is the second one. There must be a secret transfer station that no one knows about." He explained, "If the imperial court arranges troops to encircle and suppress it, how long can Panlong Mountain hold up?"
Gong Kun understood immediately: "Your first base is beyond the reach of the emperor?"
Jia Cong nodded: "It's better to be a foreign country or a big island. The ones I've thought about in the past few years include Taiwan Island, Hainan Island and Southeast Asia. Japan has also been considered."
Gong Kun couldn't help but breathe in: "Third Master, you are thinking too far."
Jia Cong curled his lips: "It's hard to be a human being. How easy is it to live without being frustrated? When a less wise emperor sits in the court, ministers who are capable but don't want to be frustrated have to think further."
Gong Kun said: "What else?"
Jia Cong said: "Third, it is enough force to ensure the escape of the whole family and myself. So I want a Western fire and a gun. Although it is difficult to fight a protracted war due to limited bullets, it is enough for escape."
Gong Kun nodded.
"The last one is the most important. There must be an intelligence system that cannot be broken from the outside. Even if a confidential letter is hijacked, they cannot understand it. Even if others can decipher the code, they still cannot understand it after deciphering it."
Gong Kun frowned: "Decipher the code?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Code is a thing, and it will have to be formulated in the future. It seems that Westerners already have telegraph machines now? If I remember correctly, it was a man named Samuel More.
He is an American, but his one is wired. I know some of the principles of wireless telegraphy, but it is probably extremely difficult to do it. Let’s do it step by step."
Gong Kun was really confused this time: "What did the Westerners do? What will I make in the future?"
Jia Cong said: "They made a machine, just like a Western clock. This thing can transmit coded signals several miles away in a very short time, just like sound transmission thousands of miles away."
Gong Kun said: "How short is extremely short? What is the coded signal?"
Jia Cong hit the table: "It's so short."
Gong Kun's eyes widened, and after a long while he said: "If there is anything else that scares the Third Master, can you tell me about it?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "There are so many, and I can't stop being frightened for a while. You also know that Western characters are all letters. Because wireless telegraphs can only be sent and received by machines, their messages must be sent out in codes, and the receiving place can then send them out."
Only by translating the code into Western can people read the message. Therefore, pinyin is extremely important. Only with pinyin can we easily do coding and use wireless telegraph machines. Moreover, even if the telegram falls into the hands of others, they will not be able to understand it.
——Well, do you understand what I say?”
Gong Kun said: "I don't understand, I just have some vague thoughts here and there."
Jia Cong said: "Then you are extremely smart. When I was taking the radio principle class that day..." He suddenly stopped. "Ah, um... I didn't say anything just now."
Gong Kun suppressed his laughter and nodded: "I didn't hear anything. The third master just praised the student." Seeing Jia Cong nodding vigorously, he finally smiled and said, "Maybe there is a Westerner among the seven Jiangnan monsters.
people."
Jia Cong thought for a while and realized that there were indeed foreign English teachers in the university, so he nodded: "Yes! Australians."
Gong Kun became more and more curious: "Is Australia a country of the West?"
"No..." Jia Cong thought for a while: "That's all, I originally wanted to wait a few years before saying it." He then took out a scroll he had hidden under the bookcase, "My special envoy Lan Xiang bought this from a maritime merchant.
I took a charcoal pencil to write down a few important countries on the Western chart I came from." Pointing to one place, he said, "I only have such a big idea."
Gong Kun was shocked: "Isn't our court in the center?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "How about we make our own map in the future and put our country in the center? This is made by Westerners, why should we print our country in the center? Do you think that this is still the era of Journey to the West, and all foreign countries
We look up to us as the kingdom of heaven and the country above? Even at that time," he pointed to India and said, "the monk from the Tang Dynasty could only reach here. There were all small countries along the way. If he had gone to Egypt in its heyday
, Assyria, and Rome may not be admired by everyone. The world is a big place, and no one family can stand in it."
Gong Kun then picked up the map and looked at it carefully for a long time, pointed at Australia and said, "Is this where the third master, the foreigner, comes from?"
Jia Cong nodded.
Gong Kun sighed: "It's so far away, and everything is covered with sea. How did he come here? By boat?"
Jia Cong was stunned. He couldn't say he came by plane. Wouldn't that mean he had to explain what an airplane was? He hurriedly curled his lips and said, "Buddha said, you can't say."
Gong Kun had no choice but to look at it again and pointed: "The third master just said that the United States has telegraphs. Is this right here?"
Jia Cong said "hmm".
Gong Kun sighed: "Russia is actually bigger than our dynasty! From this point of view, our dynasty is really not that big."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: Emperor Pujin’s territory will still be the largest in the world hundreds of years later? Because he said: “Since it has been taken out, let’s just take it outside and show it to everyone.”
Gong Kun raised his head and glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid that a traitor will appear in the future?"
Jia Cong twitched his lips: "Do you want to keep asking the same question? Has your third uncle asked you? I don't believe he hasn't told you."
Gong Kun sighed: "You must be on guard against others. Third Master is too trusting... a little too much. You must know that people will change."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "What can the severely suspicious patient give them today?"
Gong Kun said seriously: "Third uncle said that he had accidentally mentioned to Third Master in his early years that the Ninth Prince may not want to be the emperor. I just wonder if Third Master remembers it."
Jia Cong was stunned.
"I hope Third Master will not only think about today."
Jia Cong couldn't help but closed his eyes. Yes, if Situ Pan wanted to kill the emperor, it would be much easier than ordinary people. This person was also much smarter than the emperor, so it would be much harder to deal with him.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said: "You can't give up eating because of choking. If you want someone to accompany me to create the world, you can't hide your privacy in a place like this where you can broaden your horizons." He laughed and said, "I just said that I was born to be rebellious, but in fact, it's not like that.
What about being born rebellious? It’s just that I know that the world is very big, and I can be very strong if I develop slowly. I don’t want to be a slave of the emperor’s family, with life and death, honor and disgrace all controlled by him alone. If everyone knows this
What? Will they still be willing to say, "Isn't it the king's ministers who lead the land?" It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together. Slowly assimilate everyone into rebels, so that no one will betray their own minds for small gains. "
Then he picked up the chart and went out, smiling and shouting: "Come and see, come and see! Egypt, Maya, Greece and Rome, and all kinds of zombie rice dumpling mummies are waiting for you~~~"
The group of children often heard him talk about overseas comments. When they heard what he said, they immediately gathered around and said, "What?"
Jia Cong laid out the map randomly on a table and pointed at it: "This is a sea map made by maritime merchants. This is the country of Egypt. The Sphinx and the Pyramid of Emperor Khufu are approximately here...
This is the country of Mexico, the Mayan temples, the observatory is here... Stonehenge is here..."
The crowd gathered around and chatted for a while, and all kinds of questions fell like rain. Jia Cong answered with a smile, and drew pictures on the paper with charcoal, which was very lively.
Gong Kun was tall and stretched his neck to lean on top, so he could see more clearly than others.
