"This Dictionary is amazing." Fang Xuanling, who was carefully flipping through it, suddenly raised his head and said: "There is another huge role that has not been discovered by everyone, and this role is even greater than enlightenment literacy." ”

"What does it do?"

Yang Yu was at a loss, the "Dictionary" was compiled by him, but in addition to facilitating people's literacy and literacy, what other role does it have?

In fact, not only Yang Yu, but even Yang Tong, the initiator, was also surprised.

"His Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty said that writing is the source of all learning and the foundation of scripture and righteousness, which is true, but before literacy, it is to speak first, and to speak first will communicate literacy. In addition to the two query methods of radicals and difficult words, the "dictionary" also has sound rhyme, and also arranges homophones and homophones in order. Fang Xuanling said.

"Isn't it just convenient to look up? What else? Yang Tong was puzzled

"Holy." Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said: "As the saying goes, ten miles are different sounds, and a hundred miles are not customary, and I have a lot of things in the Great Sui, thousands of miles between north and south, east and west, and people from the south and north of the world get together, and no one can understand what the other party is saying." ”

"Not bad!" Yang Gongren nodded and said: "Take us as an example, we are all people from all over the world, we have been walking around since we were children, and it is normal to speak official language, but if you think about it carefully, the language has changed too much compared to when I was a child!" ”

Kong Yingda agreed: "Sometimes when I go back to save my relatives, there are indeed difficulties in communication, I can understand what the people in my hometown say, and what I say, they have a hard time listening, and sometimes it takes many days to adapt." But what does this have to do with the huge role that Fang Shangshu said? ”

"It has a lot to do with it." Fang Xuanling said: "If the pronunciation on the "Dictionary" is compiled according to Luoyang Yayan, and then passed on to students all over the world by the township and county scholars according to this standard, over time, the Great Sui will speak with the same sound, and there will be no difficulties in communication. ”

Yang Tong nodded and smiled, and when Fang Xuanling mentioned "ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different customs", he realized that he was going to mention the Great Sui Mandarin. And he also knew that during Emperor Wen's lifetime, he was working hard for Yan Tongyin and achieved immortal achievements.

As early as the early years of the emperor, Yan Zhitui, Xiao Gai, Changsun Nayan and other eight people and Lu Fayan agreed that the tone of the Quartet was very different, the rhyme in the north and south was different, and the rhyme lacked standards. It took Lu Fayan 20 years to write the five volumes of "Cut Rhyme". This book unifies the phonology of all texts, and can be called the earliest phonological book in history.

"Holy Lord, Fang Shangshu's idea is quite good." Before Yang Tong could speak, Yang Gongren was already excited, "The reason why Qin Shi Huang is great is not that he unified the world, but that he created an imperial system and strengthened the central rule; abolishing the feudal system and replacing it with a county system; The book is the same text, the car is the same track, the line is the same wheel, the unified text weights and measures, laid the basic pattern of all aspects, and then the Han and Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and even my Great Sui, are the development of this world pattern, it is not an exaggeration to call it an emperor through the ages. During his lifetime, he vigorously promoted Yan Tongyin, but Hu Hai's incompetence caused the Qin Dynasty II to perish, and Yan Tongyin could not continue. And the saint far surpassed Qin Shi Huang in terms of martial arts, if it is on the basis of the three provinces and ten departments, the spread of the acres into the mu, compulsory teaching and other systems to achieve the same sound, then the saint will be able to compete with Qin Shi Huang. ”

Yang Tong knew that the Great Sui Dynasty was as great as the Qin Dynasty even if it did not have him, but it would be a bit embarrassing to compare him with Qin Shi Huang. However, the historical task of Dasui Mandarin must really be carried out seriously, and he said: "Hanyu pinyin and initials and vowels have been spread all over the world, and they have long been the basic way for children to recognize and read words, which is itself the same sound." ”

"That's true. However, the promotion area is too small, in fact, in addition to being used to educate the people of the Great Sui, it also has a miraculous effect on the surrounding ethnic groups. And many aliens do not even have their own writing, simply can not resist our thousands of years of splendid civilization, if the promotion of pinyin, in the long run, will definitely change customs, completely integrated into the Great Sui. Fang Xuanling raised the "Dictionary" in his hand and continued: "In addition, Weichen suggested that each main word on the "Dictionary" should be added with initials, finals and phonetic transcriptions. ”

"No wonder I don't think this dictionary is quite right, it was still short of desperate and phonetic transcription." Yang Tong suddenly said to Yang Yu: "The third brother must add these three things. ”

"Whoa."

"Holy Lord, Weichen has one thing to add." Kong Yingda said.

Yang Tong smiled: "Please speak." ”

"The key to the homophony of words lies in teaching the master, if the three masters themselves can't pronounce accurately, then it will be misleading and laughing and generous. The minister believed that it was necessary to strengthen the education of the masters, and use their speaking accent and pronunciation standards as a way to assess whether they were qualified. ”

Yang Tong pondered for a long time and said, "Since you want to push, then push it extensively, the current pronunciation will be the Dasui Chinese, and it will be included in the examination scope of the three university palaces and county schools, and the content of the exam is to let the students read a hundred words and a hundred sentences." As for the existing officials, every word and deed is an example, and when the "Dictionary" is on the market, we will give each of them a copy, requiring them to speak Chinese at ordinary times, which will subtly influence the local people, and at the same time avoid changing the term of officials, and the local people will have to adapt to a new accent. ”

"Shangshu Province is responsible for this matter, and as soon as possible, according to the characteristics of each ministry, draw up a set of more reasonable regulations so that the Chinese language can be promoted."

"By the way, in the next issue of Half Moon Talk, we will use 'ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different customs' as the topic, and we must let readers know the inconvenience of language barriers."

"Your Ministers obey."

A series of plans came out of Yang Tong's mouth, and almost no one objected, this is the advantage of Yang Tong as a dictatorial emperor, in terms of governing the country, he has always only pointed out the direction, and the details are perfected by this group of highly intelligent people.

The imperial court is now on the right track, with the gradual improvement of the cabinet system, the center has formed a set of mutual supervision of the operation system, it is unlikely to go further in the system, let alone engage in the cabinet ministers of the real power, that will only weaken the imperial power.

The cause of the Great Sui is thriving, and it is in a very critical period of transition, and the monarch and the ministers are wholeheartedly working hard for themselves, if there is any balance between the monarch's power and power, sooner or later the monarch and the minister will be suspicious, and the great cause of the Great Sui will be blocked. When he was still there, the Great Sui Emperor was like the Five Finger Mountain that suppressed Sun Monkey, and no one could shake or move.

But if he hangs up, the heir and the prime minister who holds half of the power are estimated to fight for the other half of the power in the hands of the other party.

Isn't that the Li Tang Dynasty in history like this?

When Li Shimin was alive, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang were the two grandsons, but Li Shimin was not there, the two immediately pressed forward step by step, cut off the royal forces, and devoured Li Zhi's power, although Li Zhi became the final winner, but the Li Tang Dynasty was also greatly injured and the elite was lost, when Tubo and Silla rose strongly on both sides of the Central Plains, there was a huge dynasty, and there was only one Xue Rengui who saved the east and the west. I was buried in the Battle of Dafeichuan.

Thinking of this, Yang Tong was very surprised by the cabinet prime minister's system, glanced at Qin Qiong, and asked, "Shubao, how is the situation in Jiaozhou?" ”

"Back to the Holy Saint, the battle is very victorious, and Feng An's main force has been killed... The rest are all temporarily recruited fangs, the key is that there is no severe cold there in all seasons, and they can fight all year round, if the saint wants to take down the dozen or so counties of Jiaozhou, the war can go on forever..."Qin Qiong said.

"What is the combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhou Fangren?"

"It's just a rabble, not to mention ragged clothes, and even a lot of people's weapons are wooden." Speaking of this, Qin Qiong laughed, "The fangs of the civil and military dynasties launched a riot every few years, and then they were quickly wiped out. I used to be weird, but after seeing these rabble, I finally understood. Exterminating the southern fangs is simply every general's favorite errand, not only is there no danger, but it can also be successful, which is similar to picking up merit in vain. ”

"What Uncle Bao said is not false at all." Pei Renji next to him added, "The defeat of these fangs is doomed, just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals are not bandits, facing the strong and powerful Sui army is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car and a mayfly shaking a tree, and it is only a matter of time before they perish." But these people are a bunch of ferocious beasts! They occupy the fertile land that can be ripe for more than a year but do not produce, only plunder and plunder, they have survived in this Jiaozhou for countless generations, but they have no cultural inheritance of their own! The locusts that seem to position themselves as the Han people, once the Central Plains are eroded and the Han people are weak, they rush out of the mountains and forests like locusts, to burn, kill, rob, and take away, and if the Central Plains is strong, they will abandon thousands of siblings and relatives, and go to the deep mountains and old forests alone to lick their wounds, enduring hunger and waiting for the opportunity......," Pei Renji said hatefully.

When Yang Tong heard this, he said coldly: "Since these people are cruel and rebellious, let Zhang Zhenzhou continue to fight like this, and not rush to occupy the land, and only let Feng Ang take those murderous fangs from the mountains to the battlefield to die." ”

Nowadays, the concept of the great unification of the Central Plains has long become the norm, and such tribes cannot survive for long in the face of the natural law of survival of the fittest and the survival of the jungle, and they will either integrate into other tribes and be assimilated by other civilizations, or they will perish in the deep mountains and old forests, decay with dead wood, and turn into powder.

As for Feng An, there is no doubt that he is an outstanding leader in Jiaozhou, but he has no vision and cannot see the current situation clearly. Today's Great Sui is several times stronger than the great cause and troubled times?

The Great Sui Heroes fought in the east and west, and fought in the south and the north, and were invincible, which was the time when the national strength was at its peak and the army was strong. If Feng Ang took his own people to keep to himself in Jiaozhou and watch the success or failure of the world, he might be able to take a false position like in history. After all, war is not what Yang Dong wants, and killing people is not the goal. But he not only ceded the land and became the king, but also funded Meng Haigong and led troops to make enemies of the Great Sui, which is unforgivable.

As for the Jiaozhou fangs, since they are such goods, then simply lead them to the battlefield to death through the hands of Feng An, who is known for his prestige, as long as these unruly fangs are killed and killed without the will to resist, in order to create a stable foundation for governance, otherwise, they will still run out to sabotage after a few years, and Yang Tong has no patience to play hide and seek with them.

What's more, the current Jiaozhou is not the Pearl River Delta in the future, and the Fang people are not the She, Yao, Zhuang, Hui, Miao, Dong and other ethnic groups in the future, but a group of brutal thugs who are similar to the Turks, and it is no pity to kill them.

"Whoa."

Everyone felt a moment of silence for the Jiaozhou Fangren, and they all knew that the emperor did not want to end the battle now, nor was he in a hurry to recover the entire territory of Jiaozhou, but only wanted to kill people.

"Shengshang, in fact, there are good people in Jiaozhou." Fang Xuanling said weakly.

"I know." Yang Tong said in a deep voice: "Order the sailors to go south, end up Feng An's rear, and move the people of Nanhai, Gaoliang, Hepu and other counties along the coast to Longchuan and Yi'an; The same is true for land armies. ”

"Whoa."

"Yang Shangshu." Yang Tong said to Yang Shidao: "You select 30,000 people from the group of slaves who have served for many years, grant them the nationality of the Great Sui in public, and select 30,000 female slaves to match with them, and then send these 30,000 families to Longchuan and Yi'an to settle down. ”

The slaves who have served for many years have long since smoothed out the edges and corners of the past, and with the years of education of the supervising officials, they have cultivated a gentle servility, although they are not walking corpses, but they are as honest as sheep; The imperial court now gives them the status of normal people, and they must cherish the hard-won days, and scatter such people to Longchuan and Yi'an counties, and Yang Tong is not worried about their riots.

"Whoa." Master Yang bowed his hand.

"Next, I'm going to talk about military transfers." Seeing that the generals began to get excited, Yang Tong laughed.

Qin Qiong said: "Holy Lord, now everyone is asking, when will Yizhou be hit. ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Wei Chigong continued: "I haven't fought for a few months, and my waist hurts. ”

"Your waist is so idle that it hurts, it's obviously a villain." Luo Shixin unceremoniously debunked.

Yang Tong said to Wei Chigong: "I will bring some kung fu tea back later, so that you can have the strength to make people." ”

"Thank you." Wei Chi Gong was overjoyed.

"I also know that everyone is anxious to fight Yizhou and dominate the world as soon as possible." Yang Tong said with a smile: "But I heard that Li Yuan wanted to increase tax revenue and support the army, so he mobilized more than 100,000 young people to repair water conservancy. If we seize Yizhou, all these people will run home, where will I find labor? ”

Yang Gongren couldn't help laughing, "If Li Yuan knew that the Holy Lord had this idea, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he vomited blood." ”

"He should be glad that he can have a few months, if I am him, I will try to destroy Dugu Wudu and Taihe Army, and develop in the Nanzhao area, maybe there is still a little chance."

Regarding the matter of Yizhou, Yang Tong just clicked, and immediately changed the topic back, and he said to Qin Qiong: "I transferred you to Daxing because I want you to go north again and go to Yiyi City to preside over the northern military. ”

Yang Tong's appointment really surprised Qin Qiong, but he was surprised not by transferring him from the center, but by going to the north to preside over the military, which meant that something might happen to the Eastern/Turkic people.

"Holy Lord, are you going to fight the Eastern/Turkic?" Qin Qiong asked.

"I won't fight for the time being, but Ashnasimo is ready to annex Gas, and then fight with Ashina; I was worried that instead of stealing chickens and rice, he would be killed by Ashina, and thus the Eastern/Turkic Turks would once again move towards unification, which was not in the interests of the Great Sui. Not only did you cooperate with Ashnasmo, but the generals under Ashnasimo obeyed you, so I decided to let you go north and keep an eye on the Eastern/Turkic civil war. In short, let them continue to fight, and we cannot let them move towards reunification. ”

"Now that the Third and Fifth Army Corps have withdrawn from Jingzhou to Luoyang, you take 20,000 people from each of the two armies, and Gao Yaxian and He Panren are your deputy generals."

The Third and Fifth Army Corps were the main battle corps of the Great Sui, with 60,000 people each, and Yang Tong's arrangement was not only the first large-scale rotation since the establishment of the Ten Legions, but also a preparation to compress the establishment of these two armies and send the extra elite soldiers to supplement the corps with heavy tasks and few troops.

"Holy Lord, when will the last general go to Luoyang to take over the army?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Gao Yaxian and He Panren can each take 20,000 soldiers to the north." Yang Tong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your task is to go to Hexi and Longyou to recruit 10,000 Qiang soldiers, and then go north, and after arriving at Yicheng City, reorganize the whole army and form a new third army corps, with a number of 50,000. ”

"The Holy Lord intends to assimilate these 10,000 Qiang people?" Qin Qiong asked suddenly.

"That's right" Yang Tong said with a smile: "Hexi Qiang has been integrated into the Great Sui for several years, and they have traces of sinicization under the education of local officials. The army has always been a melting pot, these 10,000 Qiang people if they disperse the divisions, guards, regiments, brigades, and teams, at most two years, they will be washed off by the Military Affairs Department, and when these 10,000 people return to their hometowns, they will become 10,000 sparks with a good impression of the Great Sui, and under their influence, the Qiang people around the country have a deeper good impression of the imperial court and the Central Plains civilization. Of course, you have to be fair and just to them, otherwise, it will only backfire. ”

"Rest assured, the last general will never ruin my Great Sui thousand-year plan." After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he got up and saluted: "The last general wants to go and prepare for the recruitment now, please ask the Holy Lord's permission." ”

"Go ahead! I'm looking forward to a great performance. ”

"Whoa."

Qin Qiong saluted, turned around and retreated.

。。。。。。。

"Holy." The right servant in charge of the military department, criminal department, and school department of Shangshu Province shot Yang Shanhui and said: "General Qin only took 40,000 soldiers to the north to form a new Third Army, so what about the remaining 20,000 soldiers?" Will it be included in the Fifth Army, or will it be retired? ”

"Of course not," Yang Tong shook his head and said, "I plan to divide these 20,000 elite soldiers into two, of which 10,000 and 10,000 of the five armies will be transferred to Lintao to Wan Che to prepare for the annihilation of Li Shimin; The remaining 10,000 and the other 10,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army will go to Liaodong and carry out a large-scale reorganization with the Fourth Army, what do you think? ”

"There is no objection to the minister." Yang Shanhui said: "The south of Liaodong is Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, the north is the South Murwei, the North Murwei, the Sumo Mur, and the Heishui Pavilion, and the west is the Turkic, and Liaodong can be said to be the most complicated place in the Great Sui; However, the Fourth Army, which was responsible for the security of Liaodong, only had 30,000 soldiers, and their pressure was extremely heavy, so it was very appropriate for the Holy Admiral to replenish the 20,000 elite soldiers. ”

"In this way, the third and fourth armies each have 50,000 elite soldiers, and the fifth army has 40,000; Wan Che's Tenth Army was 30,000 people, and when General Wang Fubao's Ninth Army returned triumphantly, the two merged into the Ninth Army, with a strength of 50,000 troops; In addition to the two armies of Li Jing and Duan Decao and the eleventh army of General Du Fuwei, there are many miscellaneous soldiers, and the total number of 100,000 people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the good and the bad are uneven. ”

Everyone smiled bitterly, Yang Tong's so-called uneven good and bad are also in the Great Sui, if the so-called 'miscellaneous soldiers' are among the actual forces, they are also elite soldiers, only to hear Yang Tong continue: "Let Li Jing reorganize Jingzhou's army into a new tenth army in the way of independent retention and survival of the fittest, with a tentative strength of 60,000, and Du Fuwei and Duan Decao as deputy marshals." ”

Although Yang Tong was not worried about Du Fuwei, this army existed alone, which did not conform to the military system of the imperial court, and was also alternative and conspicuous.

"Whoa." Yang Shanhui responded.

"Holy." Yang Gongren arched his hand and said: "It is enough for Luoyang to have General Deng Wei to defend the army, the fifth army is of little significance in Luoyang, according to the minister's opinion, the fifth army can be transferred to Daxing, first, the New Year is approaching, the number of missions from various countries is huge, and the army needs to maintain order, and second, if there is a change in Yizhou, the fifth army can fight nearby." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Everyone spoke out in agreement.

Yang Tong thought for a while, and then he was as good as a stream: "Let Xie Yingdeng reorganize the Fifth Army as soon as possible, and then take the holy martial car to Daxing." ”

"Whoa."
