Chapter 398: Dialect Issues (Asking for Subscriptions, Recommendations, Collections)
Meat tickets tied from Gangnam?
With a move in his heart, Zhu Youzhen's footsteps stopped.
Even Dong Tianba's weak combat effectiveness, can they go to Jiangnan to rob and kidnap tickets?
It shouldn't be very likely.
Nine times out of ten, this Jiangnan businessman was kidnapped by Dong Tianba from the nearby sea, right?
Wrong.
Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered a problem that he had overlooked.
"Qi Qian, how much grain is in this stockade? Were the two cargo ships on the dock robbed by Dong Tianba? What kind of cargo is on board? ”
Turning around, Zhu Youzhen stared at Gao Qiqian and asked very seriously.
"Back to Your Highness, there are two grain depots in the stockade, with more than 200 stones of grain in them, which is enough for everyone in the stockade to eat for more than a month.
The cargo ship on the wharf is said to have been snatched by Dong Tianba from the Jiangnan merchant. The unfinished cargo on the ship was all grain and all kinds of working tools. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Qiqian also felt that something was wrong.
Food and working tools were the most urgently needed things for Dong Tianba to build the bay, and the cargo ship was loaded with all these things. If it is said that Dong Tianba grabbed it, then Dong Tianba also robbed it too accurately and coincidentally.
"Your Highness, it was the old slave who was negligent. This Jiangnan businessman surnamed Han may have a problem, and the old slave will go and interrogate him again? ”
Finding that something was wrong, Gao Qi hurriedly bowed down to Zhu Youzhen to plead guilty, but his lowered eyes couldn't help but have a trace of fierceness.
"The thief dares to deceive the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will definitely let him taste the power of the miscellaneous family."
I was reminded by His Royal Highness the King of Letters that something was wrong, and I felt ashamed. This made Gao Qiqian feel a little hateful towards that Jiangnan businessman.
Hearing Gao Qiqian's request, Zhu Youzhen's mind turned slightly, and he excitedly made arrangements:
"It may not be so complicated. The ship needed sailors. You go and find out the sailors who are driving the two cargo ships, separate them and ask them, and I guess the truth will come out.
As for the two prisoners?
Well, you go check on the sailors, those two prisoners are here. Anyway, it's boring to be alone, so ask it yourself. ”
"Yes."
Seeing that King Xin's interest was greatly increased, his eyes were shining, and Gao Qiqian had no choice but to temporarily suppress the hatred in his heart and respond stupidly.
In front of it is Dong Tianba's Juyi Hall.
Looking at the familiar buildings around him, the uneasiness in Han Chengzu's heart became heavier and heavier.
Along the way, the strict sentry posts and groups of well-trained guards all indicate that there are big people here.
I silently compared it in my heart. Han Chengzu was surprised to find that the spirit of these guards seemed to far surpass any of the guards he had seen before. This kind of elite, even if it is the governor pacesetter of the governor of Zhejiang, is inferior to them.
With such an elite soldier, it is no wonder that Dong Tianba was annihilated by them in one fell swoop.
With such an elite escort accompanying him, is the big man Yuan Keli or Shen Yourong coming?
While speculating with anxiety in his heart, Han Chengzu stepped into the door of the Gathering Hall.
As soon as he entered the hall door, Han Chengzu felt that his eyes lit up, and the scenery in the hall seemed so unfamiliar.
Is this still Dong Tianba's righteous hall?
Han Chengzu was so shocked that he couldn't help but open his mouth.
There were more than 10 pieces of rare butter wax, and the candlelight reflected in the entire justice hall was exquisite. The tables and chairs that used to be crooked are now very neatly arranged. The guards stand in two compartments, with the center ......
"Get on your knees."
Before Han Chengzu finished looking, the guards on both sides had already let out a majestic cheer.
Suddenly, he drank the majesty and heavily, and his mind suddenly went blank. As soon as his legs were weak, Han Chengzu honestly knelt on the ground.
"What's your name? Where are they? ”
A very young voice came from Han Chengzu's ears.
"The villain, the villain's name is Han Chengzu, and he is from Haining, Zhejiang." Han Chengzu answered honestly.
"What do you do? How did you get here? The young voice asked again.
Han Chengzu didn't dare to raise his head, and still replied with that honest emphasis: "The villain is a merchant who sells grain and rice, and he was robbed here by pirates." ”
Saying this, Han Chengzu's eyes gurgled, and his voice was immediately full of gratitude: "Thank you for saving me." The grace of saving lives, the villain is unforgettable. The villain is willing to sacrifice half of the goods on the ship for the use of the old man's labor army, and he also asks the big man to accept it. ”
"So, the two big cargo ships out there are yours, huh? You tell Lonely, where are you transporting goods, where were you kidnapped by the bandits, and what are the bandits doing here? ”
The young voice asked a few questions faintly, but it fell into Han Chengzu's ears but exploded like a huge thunder.
Lonely, I heard you right, did I? This young man is actually calling himself lonely?
This is called a lonely widow, but it is a self-title that only the king of the Ming Dynasty dares to use.
The well-informed Han Seungjo was taken aback by the young voice's self-proclaim. He writhed uneasily a few times, and couldn't help but lower his body a little more.
After a pause, Han Chengzu said slowly: "Back to the eldest master, those two ships are indeed villains. Denglai Yuan Futai is buying a large number of grains, rice and various tools for pioneering, and the villain is transporting goods to Dengzhou.
When the villain had just left Zhifu Island, he was kidnapped by this group of pirates who killed a thousand knives. The bandits caught the villain here, and they must have wanted to extort more property from the villain's home.
The villain would like to thank the lord for saving his life! ”
After saying this, Han Chengzu kowtowed to his head a few times, looking grateful for the rest of his life.
"What did he say?"
Han Chengzu said this large passage quickly, and Zhu Youzhen looked left and right with some puzzlement.
Zhu Youzhen suddenly discovered a very serious problem: the dialect problem.
For so long in this era, most of the people Zhu Youzhen came into contact with spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. Even a few of the heavier dialects are all from Shaanxi or Northeast China. Although it was tiring to listen, Zhu Youzhen could still understand it.
This Han Chengzu is different. Zhu Youzhen didn't understand a lot of what he said. This made Zhu Youzhen feel the inconvenience caused by dialect for the first time.
Zhu Youzhen suddenly thought that the gap between the north and the south is very large. In the previous life, the country fully promoted Mandarin for decades, so that the language exchange in various places was basically smooth.
In this era, Mandarin was not implemented, and when the new officials arrived in other places, they met locals who did not understand the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and they were afraid that even communication would be a huge problem.
If the language is incomprehensible, how can officials accurately grasp the local people's conditions, and how can they smoothly integrate into the local area and govern the local area well?
A new official who is an official in a different place, if he wants not to be overridden by the officials, this language problem is a huge problem!
"Your Highness, he's answering your questions."
Seeing the puzzled look on King Xin's face, Shen Shouyao whispered Han Chengzu's words and repeated them again in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's up to me this time."
Seeing the clear expression on King Xin's face, Shen Shouyao couldn't help but feel a faint pride in his heart.
"Well, Xiao Shen, you tell him that Lone can't understand his dialect. Let him say it again in official language.
Xiao Shen, you tell him that we are investigating the sailors separately. Lone gave him a chance to say it again. ”
Zhu Youzhen showed a faint sneer on his face and said coldly.
