"That county order can understand our Mandarin?"

Pang Yu felt very incredulous about this, and Professor Li just nodded and smiled:

"We are lucky, that Cheng County Commander happens to be a northerner, whose ancestral home is in the northeast of Liaoning, and their language there happens to be a bit similar to the Beijing dialect of later generations. If you talk slowly, you can basically understand each other - I really don't know if you can still write. ”

"No wonder, isn't the Beijing film brought into the customs by the children of the Eight Banners."

Xie Xi suddenly realized, but Tang Jian's face next to him was not good-looking:

"Hey, this guy is cunning. I had interrogated him before, but he acted like he didn't understand the language and was confused. ”

"Of course I was scared at that time, but if we can pretend to be able to do it, we will definitely pretend to be it."

Professor Li actually defended him a few words, and it seemed that he had a good impression of this county order. The actual situation is similar, Cheng Yegao County Ling is in his fifties this year, and the ancient people aged quickly, and from the appearance, he is much older than the sixty-two-year-old Professor Li Mingyuan. There are few people in Hainan who read books, and the literate people in the entire Lingao County can be counted on two hands.

It is rare to meet an old pedant like Professor Li, who seems to be about the same age but can read and hyphenate, and both sides feel that they have a common language. Professor Li wanted to explore the cultural customs of the Ming Dynasty through the living ancient scholar of Guò Cheng County, and Cheng County Ling did not want to learn the details of "short hair" through Guò Lao Li. Both sides had their own needs, and each was extremely interested in each other's experiences, so the conversation was very pleasant.

Cheng Yegao was in a roundabout way during the conversation, wanting to inquire about the origin of the traversal and what they wanted to do. However, although Lao Li is a university professor, he is by no means a nerd, the life experience of the old professor of the Department of History of Peking University is more than enough to deal with a Ming Dynasty county master, Cheng County Ling Ming secretly inquired a few times but can only know that these people are out-and-out Chinese people, from the sea, and there is still no idea where and where the specific country is.

"Eh, professor, you still talk too much, why do you want to admit that we are Chinese, how good it is to say that we are foreigners, maybe we can enjoy some special treatment."

The little kid Ye Mengyan interjected without knowing the sky, but as a result, a large number of adults, including Xie Xi, Pang Yu, Ling Ning, and so on, stared at him with idiotic eyes for a long time. This kid is not as stupid as he used to be after the recent training of the military team, but he still doesn't know what he said wrong.

"What? Am I wrong? ”

Wang Haiyang, who has been responsible for educating recruits, was unceremoniously slapped the scalp of Xiaoye.

"You *** say that you don't want to be a Chinese, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

"Stupid remarks, do you think that the people of the Ming Dynasty were as flattering as the last years of the Qing Dynasty? At this time, foreign devils are second-class citizens in their eyes! ”

Pang Yu also reprimanded the little guy very unceremoniously, and then turned back to greet Jack:

"Sorry, Jack, I didn't care, we completely treat you as our own."

Doctor Lao Mei laughed and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Everyone patiently continued to listen to the old professor introduce the harvest he had gained from Cheng Zhixian.

Every time Cheng Yegao wanted to get to the bottom of it, he was often casually mentioned by Professor Li Mingyuan one or two novel political, cultural, or academic issues. Professor Li specializes in ancient Chinese culture in the Department of History at Peking University, and has published several books on the subject, especially on Confucian scholarship.

He casually cited a few later views to make Cheng County Commander feel like a confidant, or talk about the historical criticism of the Donglin Party - Cheng Yegao, who was born in the northeast, has nothing to do with the Donglin Party, otherwise he would not have been assigned to Hainan to be a county magistrate at a young age. So often a few words can make Lao Cheng sigh, and then his feelings are agitated and he can't help himself, but Lao Li takes a lot of information out of his mouth.

And for this magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, several conversations with the old professor have added countless doubts. One of the most incredible things for him was that all of the more than 100 people could read and write hyphenated, and even women could easily read government proclamations - Professor Li did not show this to him, but after observing it for many days, it was an undoubted reality that this group of "short-haired" people had a very high cultural level.

In addition, such as the fact that the women in this group of short hairs never wrapped their feet, but the men often used strips of cloth to wrap their calves tightly, and so on, were trivial things - Cheng Xianling certainly did not understand the importance of wearing leggings, but these differences in appearance were the most noticeable.

"What? That's all he cares about? ”

Hearing Professor Li say this, everyone felt a little crying and laughing.

"We collected nitrate, set up motor fans, and built salt works...... And the recent construction of Baiyan Beach, what is the reaction of the locals here? ”

Xie Xi seems to be very concerned about the image of the traverser in the minds of the locals, but Professor Li always smiles leisurely:

"They don't care about that, as long as it doesn't interfere with their vital interests, they don't care what we do. Oh, when we collected the nitrate, they thought we had something wrong with our brains, and there were rumors in the streets and alleys that we 'short-haired' were born with a lack of soil, and we often had to eat some dung to be alive......"

"Damn!"

Xie Xi let out a sigh funny and angry, but Pang Yu next to him nodded with a smile:

"We come from the sea, and we are really short of soil...... The logic of the god stick here is very good. ”

"The news of the salt farm has spread quite a lot recently, saying that we have a fairy cloth in our hands, and as long as we put it in the seawater and shake it, we can filter out a large amount of snow salt, which is very evil."

"Ah, I asked the captive laborers to spread the news, to put it mysteriously, lest those Ming Dynasty people pirate our salt drying methods."

Ade smiled and raised his hand to admit it, causing everyone to laugh.

"Did you write in front of him? How did he react to the simplified Chinese characters we used? ”

Ling Ning suddenly asked, Professor Li seemed to have expected someone to ask this question, and smiled indifferently:

"There is no response, both simplified and traditional have been written, and it is not difficult for him to understand simplified characters, but he feels that our words are missing a little more. There must be a lot of evasion in saying that we are avoided. ”

"He doesn't think our simplified characters are out of the ordinary?"

Seeing Ling Ning's surprised look, Professor Li smiled instead:

"You must know that in ancient times, there were many taboos in writing, for example, there are words in your parents' names, and when you need to write this word, you must deliberately reduce one or two strokes, which is considered filial piety. The ancients liked to use dictionaries when writing articles, and deliberately found some rare words to replace the original characters whenever they had the opportunity, so as to show that their articles had other meanings...... Over the years, the first reaction of most ancients when they saw a typo in a book was not that they had written it wrong, but that they felt that they were not knowledgeable enough to know the source of the typo, and then used it as a model...... Finally, to the Yongle Canon, the Kangxi dictionary and other ancient brains included the four ways to write ...... word 'Hui' came out in this way. ”

Therefore, in ancient times, except for the official documents written to the emperor or superiors, you could not write a typo, and many times writing a typo was not necessarily a bad thing, and it would even be regarded as elegant...... Many of our simplified Chinese characters are derived from ancient cursive scripts, and the ancients themselves used a lot of them. ”

"Regarding the attitude of the Ming Dynasty government towards our group of people, whether they will send troops to attack, do you know relevant information?"

Tang Jian had been enduring it for a long time, but he only heard that this group of people was talking nonsense, and he didn't have any vital military intelligence, so he finally couldn't help but stand up and ask directly.

Professor Li was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded:

"Oh, I asked some too."

Everyone immediately fell silent and listened carefully to the important information that Professor Li had obtained from chatting with Guò.

The Ming Dynasty officials did not seem to have much sense of secrecy, and after talking to Lao Li about speculation, even the military information related to the crossing itself was taken out as a joke - but the news itself was circulated around the capital of Qiongzhou, and it seemed that it was not confidential.

At the beginning, the news that Qiongzhou Mansion got was indeed that the Japanese invaded the city, and the news was sent out by Cheng Zhixian himself, and that night after seeing the ghost car break through the city gate, Cheng County was indeed ready to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. It's just that what happened later made the county magistrate not know how to write a report to it.

Moreover, this county magistrate didn't even know if he was a regular employee in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty - according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the magistrate had the responsibility of defending the territory, and if a certain place fell into the hands of thieves, even if the official escaped, he would be held responsible, at least the official hat could not be kept.

But is Lingao County's current situation considered a loss of the enemy? The gates of the city were breached, the warehouses were robbed, the few defenders in the city were also killed, and even one of the bodyguards of the inner house hired by the county magistrate himself at his own expense lost his life - he still boasted that he was good at bows and arrows.

But if it is judged that this county has "fallen into the hands of thieves", Cheng County Ling feels very unwilling, after all, he is still sitting in the yamen in the high hall! And it's not a show, the affairs of civil affairs are handled as usual, and taxes and miscellaneous labor are also collected as usual...... This place is obviously still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty!

"Is it possible to discuss with the county magistrate and ask him to send a message to his boss that there were pirates who tried to raid the county seat before, but were expelled by a group of maritime merchants, and now the county town is safe and sound?"

Pang Yu immediately realized that the embarrassment of this Cheng County Commander was worth taking advantage of, and indeed for this Lingao County Commander, he also needed to try to downplay the matter as much as possible in order to keep his black yarn hat. "The sky is high and the emperor is far away" and "Hide from the top and not from the bottom" -- these famous proverbs should not be groundless, right?
