Chapter 43: The same text

Not all of the Tajon elves who followed Mel back to Byronsburg followed him all the way. There are a lot of Tairong goblins leaving on the way www.biquge.info the pen, and a lot of Taerong goblins join. Mair didn't know how many Tajon elves had in his ranks, but it was certain that they hadn't asked for a single sustenance.

The reason why the Tajon elves follow Mel is only two words: curiosity. The Taeyong goblins who left told the local Tayrong goblins about Myer, and the local Tajon goblins followed, and when they got bored, they left, and then a new Taeyong goblin would join in, and it was as simple as that.

Before he actually came into contact with the Tajon elf, Mayr had always thought that this was a race with a very small population. But judging by the number of Tajon elves who eventually followed Byronsburg, their population may not be as small as Mel thought.

The Wingless Tairong Elf who had been in contact with Mel had been following them, as had the Winged Tairong Elf who had followed her. The Tajon elves followed Mel to the mountain where Byron Fort was located, and then dispersed on their own, even the wingless Tajon elf and her companions.

Before parting ways with Maier, she approached Maier and said to him, "So you're really not interested in us. ”

When Mel returned to Byronsburg, he had been waiting here for five days. He Yan Zhiliang persuaded He Yan Ruizhi every day, saying that Maier might not come back until March at the latest, and wanted him to leave early. He Yan Rui knew clearly what He Yan Zhiliang was thinking, that is, he would not leave in Byronsburg.

Because of what he did wrong, in the few days that his father lived in Byronsburg, He Yan Zhiheng and He Yan Xin avoided him at night and did not dare to see him. He Yan Rui knew that he was here for the marriage of his eldest son, so he didn't care about the second son and the eldest daughter.

Incidentally, before leaving the border crossing of the Kingdom of Urgus, Mair sent ten guards to send Anjie back to Byronsburg, asking her to convey the matter of integrating thoughts to Lingyu and Sarin, and asking Salin to inform Larzi and Bolton of the matter.

As Mel had expected, the masters of the three schools of thought were reluctant to accept integration. Because integration means losing independence, these three schools do not care about power, but because these three ideas come from three races, and once the ideas of the three schools are integrated, the species in which they belong will also lose their independence. Anjie was unable to convince the principals of the three schools of thought, and had to wait for Mel to return to Byronsburg before negotiating.

During the time that Meyer left Byronsburg, there was also some progress in agricultural development. Liu Xiu, who only knows basic biological knowledge, finally learned to manually pollinate after a few months in the field with the old farmers, and also let the old farmers understand the meaning of artificial pollination. After all, the old farmers are "old farmers", and after they understand the principle of artificial pollination and hybrid crops, they don't need Liu Xiu to teach them anymore, and they go to find high-quality seeds by themselves.

On the economic front, Byrensburg has become somewhat strained in liquidity due to the large import of grain. Pershing and He Yan Zhiliang inspected Byrensburg and Hope City for more than a month, but found no new business opportunities. Since the ordnance station had already been built, Byronsburg, which had not yet discovered minerals in the territory, had to import raw materials from other places if it wanted to produce ordnance, which still cost money.

On the military front, the 5th Regiment of Byronsburg, as well as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments of Hope City, were all reorganized. It is worth mentioning that the backbone of the three regiments formed in Hope City was the Leting people drawn from the First Regiment of Byronsburg, and these three regiments were all "Leting Regiment". The vacancies of the 1st Regiment of the Byronsburg Regiment were filled by the Ira people selected from the territory. In this way, the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg became a four-tribe mixed force composed of the Letin, Iliang, Taiyong, and Dugu people.

The 4th and 5th Groups of Hope City in training are the "Ira Regiment" and the "Ilibi Regiment", respectively, consisting of Ira and Ilibi people, respectively. In Mayr's armament plan, as of June 135 AH, the regular military force of Byronsburg consisted of only these ten regiments, plus a musket unit of about 400 men and an engineer unit of about 2,000 men. The urban defence and security forces are not part of the regular military force.

If no war breaks out before June 135, Mair is not prepared to expand his army during this time. If, in June of the 135th year of the new year, the economic capacity of Byrensburg was not enough to expand the regular army of more than five regiments, the next expansion may have to be postponed until the 136th year of the new year.

Including the city defense and security forces, the current ratio of civilians to civilians in Bairensburg is about 1 to 30. In peacetime, this percentage is still very high, but it is much more normal than the exaggerated military-civilian ratio when Byronsburg was first founded.

When Maier was overwhelmed by all kinds of documents that he needed to deal with personally, it was time for He Yan Ruizhi to bring his eldest son to negotiate an engagement with Maier. Maier really doesn't have time to deal with this matter now, so he can only ask Yan Ruizhi to stay in Bairensburg for a few more days, and only after he has finished dealing with important matters can he talk to him about personal matters.

He Yan Ruizhi had just walked on the front foot, and the tanned Liu Xiu's back foot came. He said that the agricultural business was on the right track, and that the old farmers no longer needed him to teach, and wanted Mel to give him a few days off. Maier wanted to agree, but then he suddenly remembered the matter of integrating thoughts, so he asked Liu Xiu.

"YOU GUYS 'DIQIU' - UH, THE SCOPE SEEMS TO BE A BIT BIG. I MEAN, YOU 'ZHONGGUO' HAS A POPULATION OF MORE THAN A BILLION PEOPLE, AND THERE ARE 56 ETHNIC GROUPS, HOW DID YOUR RULERS INTEGRATE THESE 56 ETHNIC GROUPS TOGETHER? ”

"Ah, that's what you ask." Liu Xiu shook his head with a slick face, "I don't know." ”

"Uh, I don't know?"

"I studied 'engineering', and I don't know much about 'liberal arts' - in fact, I don't know much about 'engineering'!"

"Isn't there a 'network' on 'DIQIU'? If you have the Internet, can't you find all kinds of knowledge? ”

"You can find it, but I'm not on Earth right now." Liu Xiu spread her hands helplessly, "I didn't know that I would travel to this world, how could I have nothing to do and check those things that I don't need at all." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu seemed to remember something and continued.

"It's not like I don't understand it at all, though. For example, I still know about the unification of the six countries by 'Qin Shi Huang', and the fact that 'the book is the same text, and the car is on the same track', and I think that should be the initial unification of our 'China'. ”

“‘QINSHIHUANG’?”

The saying that "the book is the same, the car is the same track" is very foreign to Meier, but it is not incomprehensible, but the word "Qin Shi Huang" is simply incomprehensible to him.

"Well, 'Qin Shi Huang' is the first emperor of our 'China', the emperor of the Qin Empire, and he calls himself 'Shi Huang', so we call him 'Qin Shi Huang'."

"Oh, I see."

After figuring out the word "Qin Shi Huang", Maier paid attention to the matter of "the book is the same text, and the car is on the same track".

"'Books and texts' means that everyone uses the same language, so that people of different races can communicate in writing, and it will increase the sense of identity of other races with the dominant race." 'Cars on the same track' means that all cars are built to the same standards, which means that your weights and measures are all unified, right? ”

"That's right." Liu Xiu nodded.

"THEN HOW DID YOUR 'QINSHIHUANG' DO THAT?"

"It's probably mandatory." Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders, "He abolished the script of other countries and asked everyone to use the script of the Qin State, which is similar in terms of weights and measures. But don't you already have a 'New Esperanto'? The standards of weights and measures in the New Esperanto are the same, but when people use them, they are still habitually based on their own standards. For example, Tairong people like to use 'thirty kilograms' as the standard to calculate the weight, and you Leiding people like to use 'five kilograms' as the standard to calculate the weight, but everyone can understand what the other party is saying. ”

"But our text is not yet ...... uniform"

At this point, a flash of inspiration flashed through Maier's mind.

"Nope! It's not that our writing isn't unified yet, it's that we can't unify it at all! Because the pronunciation of the new Esperanto does not match the script of any race! It's hard to learn! ”

"Well, I don't think your writing is unified because no one has unified the world yet." Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders again, "As long as someone unifies this world, he can unify the script like 'Qin Shi Huang' and abolish the scripts of other races." ”

"No, Liu Xiu, you didn't understand what I meant."

Maier pressed his hand on Liu Xiu's shoulder, his eyes shining with excitement.

"The script of any race cannot match the new Esperanto, which makes it more difficult to learn the script! If there is a script that matches the new Esperanto, as long as we promote this script, everyone will be willing to learn this script that is more convenient to use, and the script will naturally be unified?! ”

"Hah...... But do you have such a text? ”

"Nope!"

Mel grinned, his smile made Liu Xiu have a bad premonition and wanted to get up and walk away, but Mel's hands pressed his shoulders and didn't let him get up.

"Liu Xiu, you once said that you can have several languages on 'DIQIU', right?"

"Uh...... This ......"

If you can just say a few common words, then Liu Xiuhui's language is really a lot. He knows a little Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Italian, French, German, and of course, in addition to Chinese and English, he can only speak a few words or a few classic words - such as "Asiba", "Hala Shao", "Ya Yan Butterfly", "I came to Hebei Province" and so on.

"After coming into this world, you also learned the Ilibi script - I think that you, who know the languages and scripts of both worlds, should be able to create a completely new script based on the new Esperanto."

“NONONONONONONO!!!”

As soon as Liu Xiu heard this, his head immediately shook into a rattle, and he didn't even speak New Esperanto.

"No, no, no, no! I can't! Absolutely not! ”

"I believe in you!"

"I don't believe in myself!"

"This task is up to you!"

"Are you listening to me?!"

"Nope!"

Maier gave Liu Xiu a thumbs up and grinned again.

"Come on!"

"Come on, your sister! I don't do it! ”

"I'll give you a raise!"

"Raise your salary, sister! Am I the kind of man who would bend his waist for money?! ”

"As long as you take over this task, from now on, your weekly salary will be 300 Wentai Rong money, and there will be a bonus of 500 Tai Rong money after the deed is completed."

"I ...... You ......"

Liu Xiu heard the two numbers that Maier said, and his momentum instantly weakened by more than half. After struggling for about half a minute, Liu Xiu let out a dull "um" long sound, and then clenched his fists violently.

"Deal!"

In this way, Liu Xiu's desired vacation fell through, and he went home to study the new text.
