So Zhu Beiguo continued, ordinary people are like this, and officialdom is naturally like this, the so-called township party and township party have a township character, in this era, with a Chu dialect, you can form a Chu party in the court, and a Qilu Jianghuai dialect is the Qi party, if you can speak fluent Nanjing official dialect, it is to make people awe-inspiring - because it is the communication language of the royal family.

Master Qiao's concept is representative of the common people in this era, because the importance of the accent is not only a simple purpose such as recognizing the hometown party, but also a symbol of status.

Sometimes it's a matter of life, you know, in the territory of some Ming Dynasty in the south, you can cut off your head just with a Tartar accent!

On the contrary, if you can speak Nanjing official dialect with Su Yangjiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents, then you are qualified to enter the Donglin Party Literati Group!

Of course, you Xu Zhi can not care about your accent, but Master Qiao doesn't think so, he greeted us in Nanjing official dialect as soon as he came up, which not only has the meaning of missing the Ming Dynasty, but also the meaning of showing his identity.

In this era, it is a common phenomenon that ordinary people do not speak official language, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, there has never been any movement to promote the popularization of official language for hundreds of years, and there is no need or refusal to do so, because this is the language of superior people! It is a symbol of status privilege, how can such a thing be popularized?

"The problem is that I was identified by Master Qiao as a Tartar, I don't want to be seen like this, how can I explain it? Where to start? ”

Xu Zhi asked Zhu Beiguo with a question mark in his head.

Zhu Beiguo shook his head and said that there is no solution, you just bear with it, anyway, people will not do anything to you, at most they will not marry their own daughter to you as a daughter-in-law......

When Zhu Beiguo said this, he saw that Xu Zhi's face was dark, so he quickly put away his joke, and said to Xu Zhi with a smile:

"Actually, I talked to the Ao family and the Zhong family just now, and they both think that you, the translator, have something to do with the 'Dongyu', but it doesn't matter, people won't and don't dare to do anything to you...... Ha! I'm laughing to death...... They all guessed if you threw it from the Eight Banners of the Liaodong Han Army, hahahaha......"

"Judging by the accent of my speech?"

"That's right, but I don't blame you, who made your university in the imperial capital."

"I was originally an imperial capital hukou! The ID starts with 010! For the people of Beijing, this is a thing that can be displayed in front of the people of the whole country......"

"That's it! Did you find any? When the people here speak, they can hardly hear the tongue curl, whether it is local or official, their intonation and pronunciation seem very straight, I don't know if you feel it? ”

"Well, don't you say I haven't paid attention to it, you mention it like this, damn, think about it, it's really like this, yes, it seems that when you talk to outsiders in the future, you really have to straighten your tongue and say it, Nima is so tired, what's the matter......"

Xu Zhi said with some indignation.

"In short, the world in front of you is like this, you can bear with it, as a professional in learning languages, I think you should know that this Manchurian Jurchen is one of the many ethnic minorities in northeast China, and belongs to a large ethnic line---- Tunguska.

These ethno-languages of the Tungusic family belong to the Altaic language family in terms of linguistic classification......"

"Of course I know this, I'm just learning foreign languages, and I know all the major language families in the world!"

"So! Compared with the Sino-Tibetan language family of our Han people, they are two completely different etymologies.

If you look around, both Korean and Japanese have a more or less kinship relationship with the Sino-Tibetan language family, while the Altaic language family does not. ”

"Boar skin! Tunguska savages, how can it matter, hum......"

Xu Zhi involuntarily let out a scorn of contempt from Ming Fan to the pigtail party.

"Hey, this, linguistics has never been high and low, your idea is not right! However, the Sino-Tibetan language family does have very few children's sounds, and there is no pronunciation of tongue-curled speech in ancient Chinese, and there is no such traditional habit......

However, the Altaic language has a characteristic---- the child sound is particularly strong, that is, they like to roll their tongues to speak, you see, in the old world, the people of the imperial capital spoke very strongly, right? ”

"Yes, you have a tone, isn't it the same way that the people of the imperial capital speak in this era?"

"Definitely not now, if we have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Capital City in the future, we may hear another Beijing-style language.

Because it has only been less than 20 years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although at this time the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchurian and Han armies also entered the capital, however, it is estimated that this Beijing accent has not yet become popular. ”

"Understood, do you mean that the tongue roll sound in this Manchu language is combined with the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty to form a Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme?"

"That's right! Manchu Eight Banners entered the customs, occupied the Beijing Division, Manchu is a small language, there are not many people who know, and the Manchu language is not mature, where is the thousands of years of history of Chinese characters broad and profound? Therefore, from top to bottom, people have to accept the continued use of Chinese characters, but people are conquerors, and they must consciously or unconsciously want to brand their own brand on the conquered, so they brought in the tongue roll sound in the Altaic language family, of course, the main influence is only the dialect in the Jingshi area, and there is almost no impact on the south a little south, so then the official dialect of the Qing Dynasty became more with tongue roll sounds.

I don't know if you have noticed, in the old world, the Mandarin spoken by people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan has no or very little curly tongue sound, in fact, it is closer to authentic Chinese, and the language spoken by the people in the imperial capital of the old world is closer to the Tatar sound......"

"Hey, hey, hey, he

"Hey, the people of the Ming Dynasty don't talk about eating, it came later, they generally say use, or food, don't roll your tongue! Is it SI, or SE, understand? ”

"Forget it, I'll try my best, don't change it deliberately, anyway, I can't take off the hat of the Eight Banners of the Han Army for a while, so let's leave it at that!"

When Zhu Xu and the others were muttering about these things on the side, Sun Lao and the others had already communicated with the four masters of the house, and it was really convenient to have Master Qiao as the translator, Captain Sun Lao Gu took the four masters of the house to visit the goods in the restaurant, and then went to the bilge to look around and come back.

Everyone is an expert, just looked at it for a moment, asked the price, the four Chinese businessmen immediately said that Pimont on behalf of the Portuguese to the Chinese businessmen to share forty percent of the Australian goods trade volume, now let alone four into it, all the problem is no problem, so the four here are evenly shared, it becomes a medium-sized business.

At the same time, the four parents also said that what Sun Lao said just now is good, "interests are evenly distributed" - this is the concept of the essence of Confucian merchants, righteousness and benefit, so the four heads of the family each gave in, this part of the glassware business was quickly divided by the four very fairly, the so-called "negotiation" before and after, the four actually took less than ten minutes to say it properly, and the sugar business was all handed over to the Qiao family, and finally the four families calculated this big account, and the gross profit of each family was about the same.

So Sun Lao and the onlookers suddenly sighed in their hearts, the Chinese businessmen in this era are really doing business with the legendary "righteousness to get money", follow the "way of righteousness and benefit", not only strong, but also reputable, no wonder the Europeans are willing to deal with the Chinese businessmen, and tolerate these Chinese businessmen to enter their own business circles, and are not willing to do business with a group of jungle tribes in the Nanyang natives who do not know what faith is......

Through this transaction, Sun Lao and the others also had a deep impression of the economic strength of the four major families, and also understood that any of the four of them could actually eat the business of 300,000 taels of silver......
