That night, Maier managed to coax Yishan and take her back to his residence, exceeding his promise with Urlis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Actually, Yishan is still very coaxing, as long as she brushes her hair first, and then says something nice, kisses, touches, and looks forward to a better future, she will be obedient.

To Meier's surprise, after he and Yishan became husband and wife, Yishan seemed to have changed as a person, very well-behaved, and everything came according to Maier's wishes. This kind of Yishan made Maier feel very fresh, so he couldn't help but play a little trick on her the next morning, and as a result, she was too shy to come out of the bed.

On 29 January, Maier invited Larzi and Bolton to Byronsburg, and brought Lingyu and Salin to talk openly and honestly about integrating ideas. During the discussion, Maier found that Salin was actually very resistant to the integration of ideas, but Salin was an Ilibian and was more receptive to new ideas, so he agreed to help Maier.

“…… I see what you mean. Maier nodded slightly, "I think you're right, each race has different living habits and different cultural backgrounds, and it's hard to change. And each race should remain independent, with its own characteristics and pride, so I decided to change the original plan, no longer asking you to integrate ideas, but to make a little necessary modification to the thinking of each family, so that some things are more standardized, so as not to cause confusion to outsiders. ”

Myer's words relieved the four. They nodded to Mel in thanks, and then waited for his next step.

For outsiders, the most confusing thing is God's name. The Ira people called the gods the great gods of the apocalypse, the people of Leiting called the gods the gods of light, and the Ilibians only recognized the existence of the gods and did not attach importance to communication with the gods. This situation can lead to the misconception that we believe in three gods, which is a polytheistic faith, which is a dangerous mistake. So the first thing we have to do is to unify the names of God. I have two options here, the first is a complete simplification, simply calling God 'God' without further description, and the second is calling God according to his most important character. This God is the creator of the world and everything in the world, so I think we should call God the 'God of Creation', which solution do you think is better? ”

After a brief exchange, the four of them made a decision. They believed that the creator God was not enough to explain the full character of God, so they chose to refer to God by the word "God" alone, and to describe God's attributes in their missions, so that outsiders would be more receptive to this belief.

It is worth mentioning that Mel is not "naming" God, but discussing the "name" of God. It's like a group of servants debating whether to address their master as "lord", "master", or "lord". Whatever conclusion is reached, it is a respectful one, not an arrogant characterization and naming of God, because the creatures have no right to name their Creators.

This is not only a sign of respect for God, but also makes it easier for people to accept a change of title. Because the masters of these three schools of thought know that they believe in the same god, but because of different cultures, the gods have different names.

After this, Maier consulted with the four of them about the details of their lives and the emancipation of the people's minds. This topic involves the question of the form of government, and now Bairensburg is a bit biased towards the monarchy, but the ideology of Bairensburg is theocracy, human rights, and each has its own duties, and the ruling class is not nobler than the common people, but they carry the trust of the people. Such an idea is completely contrary to the various monarchies in force in the New World.

But as it stands, the people are willing to accept the leadership of Meier, and the leadership of Meier's descendants, so the monarchy is the inevitable form of government that Byrensburg will adopt. However, outsiders do not know the difference between the monarchy of Byrensburg and the monarchy of the outside world, and if Meier is honored as a king while preaching freedom and equality, outsiders will think that Meier is a duplicitous person who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, saying one thing and doing another.

So Mel wanted to lower his status and not be a king, but to appoint himself to a suitable position, such as the "chief consul" of the Ilibians, and then change the form of government to a republic. But the other four were adamantly opposed to his approach, and even Salin did not want Mel to change the form of government to a republic, but wanted Byrensburg to continue to adopt a monarchy.

A republic may seem democratic, but in reality it has many drawbacks. The amount of information available to the people is completely unequal to the amount of information available to the ruling class, and the amount of information available to the people is so limited that it is extremely foolish to let them decide on the affairs of the country in the vast majority of cases.

Let's take a simple example. If a democracy wants to decide whether it should enter into a trade agreement with its neighbors, it will benefit them, but the problem is that the neighbors have been at war with them, and their nationals are hostile to their nationals. In this case, if the country chooses to vote democratically on whether to sign a trade agreement with its neighbors, there is a good chance that the trade agreement will not be signed.

The disadvantage of the people in the political arena is not only that they have little information, but also that they are easily influenced by public opinion. If a third party intervenes in this matter and tries to sow discord between the nationals of that country and the citizens of a neighbouring country, then even if there is no war between the two countries, the people may still follow public opinion and vote against it.

Some people may ask, are the intelligence services of these two countries eating dry food? Why not prevent a third party from sowing discord between the people of the two countries? Please note that this is a "democratic" country, and a democratic country emphasizes "freedom of speech", and if the matter of the high-level leader's control of public opinion is exposed, the consequences will be very serious. In the event that a third party sets up a trap for the country's intelligence services to exploit, the problems faced by the country's top leaders will not be solved by resorting to martial law.

As an Ilibian, Sareen is well aware of the shortcomings of the democratic system, which are difficult to remedy, and ultimately have to have a special "ruling class" in charge of the political aspect. Instead of engaging in this sham democracy, it is better to directly determine the position of the ruling class. Anyway, Mel is very trustworthy, he is king during his reign, and the people will not have any opinions, so why risk switching to a republic? When it is time to turn to a republic, the wheel of history will turn, and the Byrons family will have to give way if they don't want to give way, otherwise they will be crushed by the wheel of history and there will be no scum left.

Eventually, the four persuaded him to discourage him from converting the government to a republic, but he still refused to claim the throne. After discussing this topic, Maier told the four of them about asking Liu Xiu to study the new script. The four of them said that this move was good, but they also said that it was too bullying to hand over such an important task to Liu Xiu alone?

When Mel thought about it, he realized that this was indeed too bullying. Just as he was thinking about who to send to help Liu Xiu, Tar ran into the council hall in a hurry, and reported to Maier without even breathing.

"Mistress Meyer! Lord Liu Xiu has invented a new text!! ”

The news left Maier and the other four stunned in their seats, and it took a while for them to come to their senses. Maier exchanged glances with the other four, and asked Tal with the joy that welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"Tár, what did you say?"

"Lord Maier, Lord Liu Xiu has invented a new script."

Tal repeated his words as calmly as he could, but his eyes still twinkled with excitement.

This sentence caused Mel to get up from his seat, and before he could speak, Tal made way for Mel and said to him respectfully.

"Lord Maier, Lord Liu Xiu is waiting for you in your residence."

Without saying anything else, Maier rushed out of the chamber and nearly fell as he went out. The guards guarding the door of the council chamber tried to go up to help him, but he pushed him away, and then ran back to his house without looking back.

In front of the door of Meier's bedroom, Liu Xiu leaned his back against the door frame, stood with his body tilted, and inserted his five fingers into his hair from the front of his forehead, so that his palms covered his eyes, and his whole body exuded a breath of middle and second disease.

After hearing the sound of someone stumbling through the door, Liu Xiu turned his head under the embarrassed gazes of Qiqi and Xiao Ye, and made a low and confident voice, and also exuded the aura of severe middle and second disease.

"Uh-huh-hmm...... You're finally here. ”

After Maier rushed through the door, he didn't care about what Liu Xiu was doing, he rushed directly to him and pressed his shoulder, and asked without even having time to breathe.

"You've invented a new text?!"

Liu Xiu was very dissatisfied with Maier's behavior of disrupting his appearance, so he tried to push Maier away impatiently. But how could his small body push Mel away? After trying a few times to no avail, Liu Xiu could only sigh in resignation.

"Yes, yes, yes! I invented it! Really, can't you make me be handsome? ”

"Yes, yes! You can be as handsome as you want! Let's play! ”

"What a handsome play! It's already made you yellow! Liu Xiu shook his head bitterly, "Come on, I won't sell it anymore, this is for you." ”

He pulled out a blank piece of paper from his bosom, and the paper was filled with letters of various shapes. Maier took the piece of paper and saw at a glance that it was the alphabet. There are three sets of letters on the alphabet, with a total of 152 letters, and at the bottom is a set of punctuation marks.

"Uh...... The alphabet is there, but what about the word list? ”

"Words? What more words? Liu Xiu looked at Maier with disgust and said, "Aren't all the words in New Esperanto ready-made?" Isn't it enough to spell it now? ”

"How's that going to work!"

Maier thought that Liu Xiu had only made the alphabet and came to him to ask for credit, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"So many homophones! Ethnic groups also have accent problems! There will definitely be ambiguity in the current spelling! ”

"Oops...... I knew you would say that. ”

Liu Xiu took advantage of Maier's inattention and snatched the alphabet from his hand. He pointed the alphabet towards Mel and pointed to each of the three sets of letters.

"Look, these letters in the first row of the first group are vowels, and the following are all consonants, and combining the consonants and vowels will become the letters of the second group, and this row of letters is the most commonly used. Do you see the comments below the second set of letters? These are diacritics, which are used to change diacritics. The third group is accent symbols, different symbols represent different races, as long as you put the accent symbols first when writing, you can avoid ambiguity problems due to accents. ”

In fact, Liu Xiu originally wanted to use the Latin alphabet to spell words and sort out the "word list" that Maier said before. But he felt that this was too tiring, and with his own ability, it was difficult to write all the words, so he wanted to find a way to be lazy. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had learned the fifty tones in Japanese, and although he had forgotten all the fifty tones, he remembered the basic principles of the fifty tones. Now the new Esperanto has a ready-made spoken language, just sort out all the pronunciations, and let the people of this world write according to the pronunciation like writing kana, so that he only needs to find all the sounds.

Of course, this alone will certainly lead to the ambiguity that Meier is talking about. Liu Xiu also thought about this problem, but he also thought of a solution. He remembered that there were a large number of kanji in the Japanese language, which inspired him. He decided to turn the new script into something similar to phonetic transcription, which was used in conjunction with the original scripts of various ethnic groups. Each ethnic group has its own script, but it can't pronounce the original sound. As long as you add sound to those words, won't they be able to read them again? Now that you can read, you will no longer have the problem of different pronunciations, and it will be easier to learn.

If you want to communicate with different races in writing, you can replace some parts that are prone to ambiguity with your own language, and then use the new script phonetic, so that there will be no ambiguity.

The original language of each ethnic group is completely different from the new Esperanto, and if you learn a word, you can remember the same New Esperanto pronunciation as the word, but you can't write an entire sentence or a whole paragraph. Because the linguistic logic of the two is completely different, if you read the New Esperanto and write your own script, you will not be able to put pen to paper. However, in Liu Xiu's plan, in the future, the linguistic logic of the native script will be completely broken, that is, it will be discarded, and all will be based on the linguistic logic of the new Esperanto.

This method can only be thought of by Liu Xiu, who comes from the earth and has nothing to do with the various races in the New World, because he is the only one who is willing to abandon the language logic that does not match the New Esperanto and split the old characters into words. After listening to Liu Xiu's thoughts, Maier suddenly realized the limitations of the thinking of various ethnic groups in terms of language.

No one wants to abandon the linguistic logic of the old script - to be precise, no one wants to abandon their own language, so for more than 130 years after the cataclysm, no one thought of inventing a new script that everyone could use. If this were not the case, the credit for inventing the new script would not have fallen on Liu Xiu, who came up with such a plan for the sake of laziness.

Either way, the new text is already in shape and usable. Maier knew that Liu Xiu's plan was still a little flawed, so he found a few old clerks in the territory and asked them to help improve these problems.
