Compiling a dictionary is a huge undertaking that requires a large number of scholars. It is estimated that it will take two or three months just to invite scholars. So, Marin is not in a hurry. Because, it's useless to be in a hurry.

However, in view of the future integration of the German and English nations, Marin decided to call German "High Germanic" and English "Low Germanic". Alternatively, German can be called the German branch of Germanic and English the English-Frisian branch of Germanic language. In this way, the ethnic distinction between the two languages is diluted. In short, the Germans and the English should feel that the other language is just another dialect.

In addition, after the German and English dictionaries were compiled, Marin compiled a dictionary of German and English that would be cross-referenced.

In fact, there are many similarities between English and German. However, there is a big difference in the grammar and pronunciation of the two languages. For example, German has a more nasal sound, while English does not.

Of course, the German written by Marin was not High German, but Low German and German of the Rhine. At the urging of Hoffmann the Elder, Marin adopted the German dialect of his native Ruhr region as his standard pronunciation.

The German language in northwest Germany is the Low Saxon language of Low German, and there is still a big difference between the German language in the east and the south. Low Saxony, halfway between German and English, is an intermediate language that can communicate with both High German and English. This is, of course, the German language of the 16th century. The further back you go, the difference between German and English becomes. Even the Low Saxon language is gradually becoming incommunicative with English.

Frisian, for example, is actually a branch of Low Saxon. Of course, the Frisian language of this era was closer to the English pronunciation.

The distribution of Low Saxon languages was mainly found in the later states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia, and most of Schleswig-Holstein, including the eastern part of the Netherlands. And the area under Marin's rule happens to be within this range. Of course, the Ruhr area is also included.

Therefore, the German dictionary compiled by Marin is actually for the northwest of Germany. As for the southern Germans and East Germans, they may not be adapted to these pronunciations. Of course, with the phonetic notation in the dictionary, it is not difficult for those Germans who speak High German to learn.

Because Marin wanted to unite North Germany and England, he used Low Saxony, a language that could communicate with English. If you change to High German, you won't be able to communicate.

Moreover, Marin also had an ambition to use Low German to influence High German, and then Low German became the standard......

In fact, this is not a fantasy. This is because there is no professional dictionary for German. And Marin's professional dictionary came out, which can be used as a standard for learning.

At that time, Marin also planned to use the power of the Holy See to promote this Low German as a special German language for the church. As a result, both Southern Germans and Eastern Germans would have to learn the pronunciation of Low Saxony. Because, even if they wanted to learn High German, there were no textbooks for them to learn......

Low German then becomes the standard for the German language. Marin then tried to make a slight modification of the German language to make it closer to the English. At the same time, the English language has been slightly modified so that English and German can communicate normally. In this way, the Germans and the English, who could communicate with each other, would not treat each other as if they were aliens. How nice it is that everyone loves each other together...... In this way, it is also convenient for joint rule.

However, this matter is not urgent, and it needs to be planned slowly. Marin plans to join the compilation himself if he has time.

Because, there are no German and English dictionaries as standard. So, there's a lot of room to maneuver here. Marin could have spelled two similar German and English words the same. However, when the phonetic transcription is marked, it is still marked according to Low Saxon and English. However, those who have learned it later will know what it means when they see this word. In this way, the Germans and the English could communicate not only verbally, but also in words. Because, many of us have similar words......

……

Of course, for the time being, the compilation of the dictionary is not the most important, and even the sending of troops to England is not the most important. Because, there are more important things than these that Marin needs to do. That is, land exchange......

What is "land exchange"? It was Marin's intention to concentrate and replace the lands of the original landowners and nobles of Jutland, the Archbishopric of Bremen, and West Friesland, and gather them together.

Why? Marlin: This is for secrecy......

Marin has advanced agricultural technology and fertilizer technology, and the estate is definitely highly productive. Now, Marin has seized Jutland, the Archbishopric of Bremen and West Friesland. However, in these three regions, there were originally many local small aristocratic landowners.

Jutland was a little better, and after reaching an agreement with King Hans, Denmark took all the minor nobles of Jutland with them. Therefore, there are no minor nobles over there who need land exchange.

But the Archbishopric of Bremen and West Friesland are different, although the Archbishop of Bremen has taken many of his cronies and family members with him. However, the Archdiocese of Bremen still had many minor nobles and Junker landowners remaining.

The so-called Junker landlords are the children of the nobility who have not been mixed with the title of nobility. There are many such people in Germany, and strictly speaking, those wandering knights are also Junkers. It's just that the average Junkers landlord is the descendant of the nobility who was allocated land.

These Junker landlords cannot be treated as harshly as civilians. Because, the family has aristocratic blood. Moreover, many people have a cultural heritage.

In fact, Marin's official apparatus is full of Junkers. Many college students of this era were born in Juncker. For example, Haider, although he is the son of a merchant, his ancestors are also nobles. If you don't have a noble bloodline, if you want to do business, you can easily be deprived of property by the nobles. But with Juncker's identity, the average nobleman will not do it easily. Why? Because the average nobleman has his own family, there will definitely be Junker descendants. If you break the rules, your Junker descendants will also be easy to be bullied in the future.

And among the civil landlords, the big landlords are naturally nobles. The small landlords, on the other hand, are basically Junkers. Ordinary commoners without aristocratic blood had no right to own land, so they could only work as hired laborers, or simply go to the city to earn a living.

The Archdiocese of Bremen and West Friesland did not have many small nobles and Junker landowners, because almost half of the landlords of the Archdiocese of Bremen were taken away. The minor nobles and Junkers of West Friesland were killed because of the war.

But in any case, the petty nobles and Juncker in the two places still have more than 10,000 eugrams of arable land in their hands. Their total number, there are about a few hundred. Marin's plan was to replace all the farmland of these few hundred small nobles and Junker landlord families with the area along the Elbe River in the eastern part of the Archbishopric of Bremen......

As for why it was transferred to this area? This is because the Elbe is a very navigable river. Some agricultural secrets cannot be kept at all on the Elbe.

Therefore, the land on the west bank of the Elbe, although fertile, is not easy to keep secret. Therefore, the replacement of these minor nobles and Junker landlords, who were not "their own people", to the Elbe River, is not a disadvantage to them, but also a secret to them. After all, they must still use traditional farming methods, and the foreign ships that pass by can't see anything.

In addition, in the eastern part of the Archbishopric of Bremen, the closest to Las Vegas, the casino city of the Elbe estuary. The relocation of these minor nobles and Junker landlords to the Elbe River near Las Vegas also made it convenient for the children of these nobles and the young masters of the Junker landlord family to go to Las Vegas to have fun and at the same time, consume a lot of money......

With these nobles and Junkers landowners who had been displaced to the neighborhood frequented, Las Vegas is sure to be very popular. Marin had intended to turn Las Vegas into a popular gold cave that would attract nobles and tycoons from all over Germany. In this way, as the owner of Las Vegas, Marin can also earn more......

Therefore, replacing the land of those small aristocrats and Junker landlord families who are not "their own" and relocating them to the west bank of the Elbe on the other side of Las Vegas is not only conducive to the secrecy of agricultural technology, but also can bring a large number of customers to Las Vegas, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone......
