Chapter 1030: Yayan, Pinyin, Wu Yun
"Lose class."
"The minister is here!"
Lu Ban, who was named by name, immediately stood up.
Qingji Zhengse said: "The Ministry of Industry has set up a subordinate department, called the "Trade Union", which is in charge of supervising the affairs of various workshops in Dawu, responsible for labor arbitration, and is committed to protecting the rights and interests of workers."
"If a worker's complaint cannot be handled by the trade union, and after reporting it to you, it still cannot be handled, so it will be transferred to the three divisions for trial, and if it cannot be handled, I will hear it myself, and it must be properly resolved."
"No!"
Lu Ban immediately agreed.
This sesame mung bean big thing, how dare you disturb the celebration of all opportunities?
If the workers are really allowed to sue the emperor and send the complaint to Qingji, I am afraid that many officials will lose their jobs.
"Father, about the construction of a straight road to connect the territory of Dawu with the vassal kingdoms, this is a budget sorted out by the sons and the princes of the Ministry of Works, please take a look at it."
Prince Heng took out a piece of music and asked the chamberlain on the side of His Majesty to hand it to Qingji to read.
Qingji wants to build a straight road centered on the western capital of Xianyang, extending out, connecting the Great Wu mainland and the vassal kingdoms, and the difficulty coefficient can be imagined.
Many roads have not yet been built, such as the Liao, Sai, and Nanguo, which are still remote places, poor and remote, and there are few even the most basic official roads.
It's either a lofty mountain or an endless prairie.
Even the twenty vassal kingdoms in the west, with the foundation laid by the original Achaemenid dynasty of Persia, and the transportation network is already very developed, but it does not meet the specifications of the Great Wu official road, and needs to be renovated.
Not to mention financial and material resources, after all, Dawu can take materials nearby.
In terms of manpower, five million people will be invested?
Qingji couldn't help frowning.
"Prince, do you really need five million servants?"
Prince Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Father, this is already a conservative estimate."
"Except for the one million Kunlun slaves, the rest of the people must be recruited from the vassal kingdoms."
"However, the grain and grass consumed during this period, the ministers thought that the imperial court did not have to bear it, and let the vassal kingdoms bear it themselves."
The current Dawu is strong and strong, and the money and grain are piled up.
However, it is unrealistic to transport tens of millions of grains and grass from Dawu itself.
For now, the vassal kingdoms can only bear the burden themselves.
"Okay."
Qingji put the chapter on the imperial eucalyptus, but did not change the budget plan sorted out by Prince Heng and others.
In two or three years, Dawu will be able to build an official road (hard-faced highway) that extends in all directions and stretches for more than 100,000 kilometers, which is already a very remarkable feat.
It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the deployment of troops, Qingji has ordered to plant big trees on both sides of the avenue to shield the soldiers on the march from the hot sun......
Qingji looked around again, looked at the ministers and officials above the court, and said slowly, "Second and third sons, I have been thinking about one thing recently, but I have never been able to make a decision."
"So, I would like to ask you to discuss it."
"Our China has thousands of years of history and culture, with a long history, however, the customs of various places are very different, ten miles of different sounds, hundreds of miles of different customs."
"Besides Yayan, tongues are still prevalent in other places, such as others."
"My Great Wu takes Yayan as the correct sound, and Yayan is Wu language. However, as a Wu person, he can't even speak Wu language and even his own Chinese, how can this be justified?"
It's no wonder that Qingji has such considerations.
Yayan is the earliest lingua franca in China, equivalent to modern Mandarin, that is, the "official dialect" of Dawu, Chinese, and the official language.
Hua is the beauty of clothing, and summer is the prosperity of etiquette.
Yayan is Xia Yan (the official language of the Xia Dynasty).
Yayan is also known as "Luoyang Yayan", and its phonology is the ancient phonology of the Chinese tradition.
Because the Zhou Dynasty script learned the Shang Dynasty Yin Shang script, and the Yin people learned from the Xia people.
Since ancient times, Yayan has been popular in the Central Plains.
When Qingji ruled the world, he already stipulated that Yayan should be the "Chinese" of Dawu.
However, after so many years, Yayan still has not become popular and has become the "Mandarin" of the Wu people......
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such a thing is understandable."
Wen Chong held a tooth wat in his hand and said, "A long time ago, people lived in Chu and Chu, lived in Chu and Yue, and lived in Wu and Wu."
"The dialects vary greatly from place to place, and strangers come to a strange place and think the local language is obscure."
"I, Da Wu, now all those who take the road of studying, taking exams, and becoming officials know Yayan. It's not easy."
Hearing this, Qing Ji shook his head and said, "In a country, if its people can't even speak their native language, or even can't speak it, how can they make it?"
"I also recognize dialects, after all, the dialects and dialects of various places are generally an important part of my Dawu culture and Chinese culture."
"However, what Yuan wants to achieve is for Chinese people to speak the Chinese language well on the basis of speaking a good dialect."
"Even if it's Chinese with an accent, as long as you can say it and make people understand it, why not be good?"
At this time, the head of the household department once participated in the list and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to make everyone in the world speak clearly and elegantly, the same rhyme still needs the work of education!"
"It is possible to compile a book of rhyme, so that it becomes a supreme model of pronunciation that must be followed in the eyes of the people of the world."
"Good."
Qingji nodded in agreement.
Zeng Shen's thoughts coincide with Qingji.
However, if you want to read and understand the rhyme book, it is not easy, people who don't know a single big word, it is estimated that they feel numb in their scalp when they look at the content above.
"Zeng Shen, Zuo Qiu Ming."
"The minister is here!"
"I want to compile a "Wu Yun", with Yayan as the standard, you two and the princes of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the scholars who can be recruited from the Guozijian to complete the compilation of "Wu Yun" as soon as possible."
[In view of the general environment,
"No!"
Zeng Shen and Zuo Qiu Ming immediately agreed to come down.
Regarding "Wu Yun", Qingji also personally participated in the compilation of it.
"Wu Yun", which was completed at the beginning, is divided into five volumes, containing 26,194 words, and 191692 words of annotation, divided into 206 rhymes.
In "Wu Yun", the words with the same pronunciation are listed as small rhymes, and below the first word of each small rhyme, the meaning of the words is first explained, and then the phonetic is indicated, indicating the number of homophones, and the remaining words are interpreted separately and no longer phonetic.
This made Qingji quite dissatisfied.
Because the "Wu Yun" compiled by them did not have a pinyin alphabet, they used the method of straight pronunciation or reverse cut to phonetize the Wu characters.
Straight sound, that is, the pronunciation of Chinese characters is indicated with homophones, if the homophones are all rare words, even if the pronunciation is noted, it cannot be read.
Reverse cut is to use two Wu characters to note another Wu character, reverse cut the upper word and the initials of the note word are the same, and the reverse cut word is the same as the initial and tone of the note word.
Both of these methods are inconvenient to use.
So, Qingji asked Zuo Qiu Ming, Zeng Shen and others to change it again.
The element of "pinyin" has been added.
According to the composition law of Yayan syllables, the initials, consonants, and finals are quickly and continuously combined and added to form a syllable.
There are a total of 63 pinyin.
Among them, there are 23 initials, 24 finals, and 16 overall readings.
It was formulated into a phonetic transcription list and added to "Wu Yun", which completed this work.
And Qingji also became the author of "Wu Yun".
As a new textbook, "Wu Yun" was printed in large quantities and promoted to various counties and counties in the Great Wu region, so that the vassal kingdoms overseas and outside the territory were very popular.
