In the next few days, almost every day, there were four hundred miles of urgent reports carrying the order flag to Xianyang, and all parts of the country seemed to be chaotic, but in fact, in the eyes of the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, they were all jumping off the beam clown and not worth mentioning, Chen Xu got up early and went to listen to the court discussion twice and then began to be lazy, and spent all day at home with a few wives teasing his daughter to play, and even incarnated as a carpenter again, designing a large number of small carts, rocking chairs, small wooden horses, tricycles, scooters, etc., Then he recruited a few five-grade carpenters from Qinghe Town, such as sticks, to Fuzhong, and made these common children's toys in later generations every day.

And in the process of production, the four wives and the servants in the family are all interested in watching together every day, these toys that are very common in Chen Xu's eyes fall in the eyes of the family, that is, all kinds of novelties, small wooden horses and small carts Chen Xu has already done it, so it was quickly made a few different sizes, because according to Chen Xu's opinion, how can the four wives have to have seventy, eighty or ninety children to be considered normal, and it is also in line with his identity as a marquis, as for the dozens of concubines rewarded by the emperor, although Chen Xu is not interested, But these people's names have been decided, they are all women who can't marry, they can't also be treated badly so that they can stay widowed for a lifetime, after all, they still have to be pampered a few times to give birth to a boy and a half girl so that they will not be desolate and helpless for the rest of their lives, these things are both headaches and helpless, and the prosperity of the family depends on blood relatives to support it, because this is an era of family-oriented, and the concept of the country is not as cohesive as in later generations, because the country is the emperor's.

A few days later, the first skateboard was done, and the three pulleys were one before and the other two, which was no different from what Chen Xu had played when he was a child, so after it was done, Chen Xu only had time to stand up and skate once, and then he was excitedly hugged by Xing'er and Yu Ji to the women's college to show off to his classmates, so Chen Xu had to do two more.

The same is true for children's pedal tricycles, which are not driven by chains and gears, but are equipped with two pedal crankshafts on the front wheels, because the car is too small Chen Xu can't test it, but after making it, it was also forcibly occupied by Xing'er and Yu Ji and rode to the street to show off, provoking the children on the street to scream excitedly and run behind to watch, and the internal history next door made Qi Tang can't help but run over and watch it with relish for most of the day, and waste Chen Xu to set up a banquet to entertain a meal.

After making these toys, Chen Xu specially built a small room for his daughter, all the furniture is a children's version, it looks very novel, and the apricots and Yu Ji are envious, and after getting these, looking at the open space in the courtyard, Chen Xu simply designed a trampoline made of hemp palm and a slide in the amusement park of later generations, and the construction was completed half a month later. Jumping up and down on trampolines and slides all day long, laughter and laughter filled the entire Hou Mansion, and even the five princesses of Meng Wan couldn't help but slip on the slide a few times, full of interest in Chen Xu's whimsical and strange toy.

Especially seeing Meng Wan and Xing'er jumping on the trampoline with a group of children, Chen Xu's head was full of black lines, and he felt that this trampoline would not last until his daughter could walk.

"Husband, there are seven or eight days to the 100-day wedding banquet for the birth of your daughter, you still have to give your daughter a milk name as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to call the guests all together!" Watching Meng Wan take Xing'er and a group of girls to play excitedly on the trampoline and slide, Ying Shiyan stood next to her with her daughter in her arms and begged.

Chen Xu's face wrinkled bitterly.

Ying Shiyan has mentioned this matter many times, but choosing a name feels too difficult for Chen Xu.

"Or call it Hop Hop?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at Ying Shiyan.

"Poof~" Shui Qing, who was still standing alone in a black dress, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, gently grabbed Chen Xu's arm and said: "Husband, this is your first daughter, can you grow a little heart, this milk name is spread, I'm afraid it will cause jokes!" ”

Ying Shiyan looked at her daughter in her arms, and her mood was very low.

Fujun is a disciple of the immortal family, omniscient and omniscient, she doesn't believe that a milk name stumps Fujun, Chen Xu thought of many names that are not to her liking, thinking that Chen Xu doesn't like her giving birth to a daughter, so she is perfunctory, but in fact, Chen Xu really can't name it, and it feels more difficult than developing a cannon.

"Gentle, you read a lot, why don't you remind me!" Chen Xu looked at Ying Shiyan's lonely mood, and could roughly guess her mood, so he took his daughter over and hugged her while teasing and talking.

Three-month-old baby, cheeks have slowly grown, and can already open their eyes, their eyes are as clear as two gems, and they don't like to cry on weekdays, Chen Xu likes it very much, as soon as he is free, he walks around the courtyard with him, and even goes to the palace to show off to the emperor, and as a result, he has been rewarded by several large cars.

"The eldest mother was born in the early morning of June 18, it was the height of summer when she was born, and the five elements lacked water, but the name of the milk is not the name, why should the husband hesitate, just say it!" Shui comforted Chen Xu softly and softly.

"The five elements are short of water, and you have to ...... it smoothly" Chen Xu racked his brains and thought for a long time, looked at the baby in his arms and said: "How about it or Xi'er, when my daughter was born, I was in Langya, and the daily tides in the East China Sea are continuous, not only at the right time but also at the right time!" ”

"This Xizi is very good, in fact, it is not only a milk name, you can also use this as a name when you grow up in the future, princess, in the future, the eldest mother will call Xi'er......" Shui Qingrou agreed very much.

Ying Shiyan also instantly became happy, and saluted Chen Xufu with red eyes, "Thank you husband for giving her daughter a name, this name is very good!" ”

Well, Chen Xu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he thought that there might be ten or eight more children in the family in the future, or even a large group of sons and daughters in the side lineage, just the name could make him bald.

Alas, it seems that it is not a bad thing to let the concubine be widowed, maybe he can let himself live for a few more years, I really don't know how the more than 20 children of the first emperor came up with their names, didn't he use his brains, it seems that he has to come up with a Chinese dictionary in advance, and when the time comes, I really can't think of the inspiration to flip through the dictionary.

And now the surname of Daqin is not unified, not only the surname is confused, but also the name and the word, and the name does not have the habits and traditions of later generations according to the generation, in fact, it is good to have a generation, so that it is easy to distinguish between the generation and the elder and the young, and the matter of the unified surname of Daqin should also be put on the agenda.

Therefore, after choosing the name of his daughter, Chen Xu stood in the courtyard for a while and then went to the study, he decided to play a book to the emperor to unify the surname of Daqin in advance, so as not to cause confusion caused by the simultaneous existence of surnames, and officials from all over the country will not be messy when counting the number of people and formulating identity cards.

Two days later, when the attention of the six departments of the three provinces and the emperor was still mainly focused on the suppression of bandits in the south, the Marquis of Qinghe put forward two unbelievable bills, the first is the confluence of surnames, and in the future, when registering the names of the people, only the surnames and first names will be registered, and no longer called names, but this is only an expression at the official level, and does not emphasize the civil title, and the name is promoted to the lowest slave class, requiring all adult men and women to have a surname and a name, so as to facilitate the title and distinction; The second book surprised the court officials and the emperor even more, because Chen Xu presented a comparison table of italic characters adapted from Ying Shiyan, hoping to start promoting italic characters throughout the country, and many of the characters in this italic script are integrated with the simplified character format of later generations, and the strokes of many extremely complex fonts are relatively simple.

Although these two books are insignificant, they still set off a very heated discussion in the court, the confluence of surnames has actually been going on from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Great Qin, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, there are more and more vassal states divided into feuds, and it has long become a habit to take the fief as the name, as for the surname is only a factor that distinguishes ancestors and bloodlines, it has long been uncommon among the people, and the aristocratic status has been completely lost after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by Great Qin, and even the nobles of Great Qin today are basically guests who defected from the Six Kingdoms. Therefore, it is already customary to call the surname instead of the surname, so this proposal was quickly passed by the emperor, requiring the officials of the three provinces and six ministries to merge the surname of the plan to spread throughout the country in the form of an edict, as for no longer distinguishing between the noble and the low, all adult men and women must have a surname, the emperor and the Manchu civil and military did not care, because this matter has almost reached the point of course, and the promotion will indeed make the identity clearer.

But in the promotion of italics, the court is quarreling again, since Li Si and others have improved the small seal to promote the book with the text to now has only added up to more than ten years, has been promoted is not very smooth, the reading people around the time there are still the first six countries of the text exists, most of the unified small seals are official documents, but with the large-scale distribution of the Daqin Metropolis Daily, the current small seal has been promoted relatively rapidly, but now the small seal has just been accepted by the world, Chen Xu also wants to promote another kind of writing that is completely different from the structure of small seal strokes, which makes many officials not understand, especially the officials who support Li Si, which is obviously Chen Xu taking the opportunity to constantly erase Li Si's credit, so as to constantly weaken Li Si's presence in the court.

Anything, whether good or bad, will inevitably turn sour once it rises to the level of political struggle.

Even if the important ministers and emperors of the three provinces and six ministries all passed on the italic character comparison table, Chen Xu tried his best to explain, but this matter was still greatly resisted, even Meng Yi and Feng Qujian did not stand up to help Chen Xu speak this time, and there were very few other officials who posted it, and on weekdays, a group of doctors and doctors who saw Chen Xu's proposal to support it regardless of whether it was right or wrong were very silent, after all, it was still resistant to suddenly change from the familiar small seal to write these square square words, not that it didn't work, but it looked very weird and thought it was not beautiful, And it's not easy to write.

Seeing that the process of promoting italic characters was not smooth, Chen Xu had no choice but to retreat and ask for the first place to publish the radical comparison table of italic characters in the newspaper and publish some articles in italic characters to see the people's reaction to italic characters.

Qin Shi Huang nodded in agreement after a slight hesitation.

Qin Shi Huang knew about italics for a long time, many of Chen Xu's books are written in a font that does not seal or Kai, and the italic characters carry a style of official script, but it is simpler, although the horizontal and vertical structure is completely different from the seal script, but it is close to the official book, and the official book is actually in the state of almost coexisting with the small seal in the folk and the official, and most of the records outside the official documents are half seal and half subordinate fonts, and it is not difficult to identify.

A few days later, in the new issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily, half of the page published a table of italics, seals, and official scripts, and also published a poem in italics.

And this seemingly inconspicuous content immediately had a huge repercussion in Xianyang's hundred schools, many people can easily identify the italic characters through the radical comparison table, and feel that this square new font looks much simpler and clearer than the winding small seal, and it is much more convenient to write, so interested people began to learn to write, and in the newspaper and the academy of letters, Chen Xu also asked all officials and clerks to start learning to write in italics.

The evolution of the font is bound to be a process from complex to simple, the small seal is still too complicated, not suitable for the general public to learn and popularize the use, as long as the newspaper and the academy of thousands of disciples began to use, it is easy to quickly spread throughout the country, perhaps only two or three years, the whole page of the Daqin Metropolis Newspaper can use italics, until then the resistance from the court is self-defeating, after all, the italics are not separated from the basic structure of the text writing, at most the curved strokes are changed to horizontal and vertical.
