Qingji, who put Zeng Shen and Zuo Qiu Ming in charge of the compilation of "Wu Yun", still thinks that something is missing.

That night, Qingji tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about things related to "rhyme" in his mind.

It wasn't until the sky turned up that the fish belly was white, and Qingji had a flash of inspiration.

"I thought of it, a dictionary, a dictionary!"

"Your Majesty, what is a dictionary?"

Lying on the dragon couch with Qingji, Zheng Dan, who was still sleepy-eyed, asked very puzzled.

"The dictionary is a masterpiece. With such a dictionary, why can't my Dawu culture spread quickly and be widely accepted by the world? ”

Qingji, who was very happy in his heart, immediately asked Zheng Dan to get up, put on a regular dress for himself, and then summoned the ministers such as Prince Heng, Wen Chong, Zeng Dian, and Zeng Shen to discuss matters in the Zide Palace.

Qingji decided to let Wen Chong and Zeng Dian be responsible for compiling a "Dawu Dictionary" so that it could be circulated to the world.

"Dawu Dictionary" is a reference book that provides pronunciation, meaning explanation, example sentences, usage, etc. for words.

In this era, there is no dictionary in the true sense of the word.

The first dictionary in China "Erya" came out after the end of the Warring States period.

In order to make "Yayan" widely used, Qingji also took great pains.

"I have decided to build a masterpiece to demonstrate the prestige of the country and benefit all generations."

"Its name is "Literature Dictionary", where the book deed since the history of the subset of the book of a hundred books, as for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, monks, and skills, compiled into a book."

"You are responsible for compiling it, Bu Zixia."

"No!"

Bu Zixia immediately agreed.

The "Literature Dictionary" that Qingji wants to repair is similar to the "Yongle Dictionary" and "Siku Quanshu" in later generations, and it is the largest encyclopedia in the world's history.

At this time, Zeng Shen put forward his own opinion.

"Your Majesty, why don't you copy all kinds of backup books from the Western vassal kingdoms into the "Great Book of Literature" and pass them on to future generations?"

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly, very much in agreement.

Bu Zixia glanced at Zeng Shen with resentment.

This guy is not the son of man.

Is it so easy to revise a "Dictionary of Literature"?

The content of the original "Literature Dictionary" includes scriptures, histories, sub-collections, involving astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, crafts, agronomy, etc., covering the intellectual wealth of China for thousands of years.

Now, Bu Zixia and others also have to include all kinds of books and knowledge from the West, which undoubtedly increases their workload.

Will it take until the Year of the Monkey to be compiled?

"Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request."

"Say."

"If dozens or hundreds of people build such a masterpiece, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years, or even decades. Ministers must be brave enough to have at least 2,000 scholars to participate in the compilation......"

Hearing Bu Zixia's words, Qingji couldn't help frowning.

Bu Zixia asked for 2,000 scholars when he opened his mouth, which is not ordinary.

However, Qingji still respects Bu Zixia's opinion.

"Zixia, do you have any requirements for the scholars who participated in the compilation of the "Book of Documents"?"

"There aren't many requirements."

Bu Zixia said with a smile: "Most of them are literate and can be qualified for the work of copying reputations." ”

"Good."

Qingji thinks it's not a problem.

After all, Wu Guo's talent pool is certainly a bit scarce, but it is only relatively speaking.

On the county school, county school, and township school, there are still a lot of scholars who can be called by Qingji.

……

The time entered the forty-fifth year of Wu Shi Huang, that is, in 469 BC, at the end of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.

Da Wu's "Yi Wen Order" and "Yi Service Order" have been tried out in Lu State.

Today, the streets are full of Lydians dressed in Wu costumes, wearing wooden crowns, or wearing cloth bands.

Some of them were blonde and blue-eyed, some had black hair and black eyes, and now they all wore the same style of clothes and tied up their hair, instead of wearing robes and hair as before.

But those who disobeyed the edict were stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Those who violated it three times, were directly beheaded.

Such a cruel decree caused the Lydians to obey as well, at least on the surface.

The Lydians were forced to exchange the original coin for five baht of Da Wu, and then spent a few hundred dollars to buy a Wu costume......

Due to the Wu implementation of Wu and forced them to speak Wu language and write Wu characters, official schools have been set up in various places, and the Lydians have to go to official schools to listen to lectures and learn Wu characters and Wu languages.

They can still endure these things.

However, what the Great Wu army did next made the Lydians completely intolerable.

Lydia was a powerful state, founded around 1300 BC, and at its peak conquered the Thracians, Carians, Phrygians, and Pavlagonians who had migrated to Asia.

Although the Lydians had a plan to conquer the islands of the Aegean Sea across the sea, they eventually chose to abandon it due to their lack of naval base.

It was not until 546 BC that the Lydian kingdom was destroyed by the Persians and became a vassal of the Achaemenid dynasty.

However, a country that has existed for more than 700 years will not be easily destroyed.

Great Wu forcibly promoted Wuhua, arrested scholars who opposed him, and burned all kinds of books of the Lydians and destroyed historical relics about the Lydian civilization after keeping the backup books for the Great Wu proper.

All this finally made the Lydians unbearable and chose to rise up.

The rebels quickly captured the capital of Lü, Sardis, and the king of Lü, Wu Xiao, was defeated and hastily led his troops to flee to the Cappadocia region, asking Wu Zhang, the king of Liao, who had troops there, to help him suppress the rebellion of the Lydians.

At this time, in Wu Jun's Chinese army tent, Wu Zhang saw his half-brother Wu Xiao's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Twenty-seventh brother, it's not that the widow said you. ”

"My father gave you 10,000 cavalry and his family scroll, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 people, how could the capital be captured by the Lydians?"

When Wu Xiao heard this, she said quite embarrassedly: "Brother Wang, you don't know anything. ”

"The 10,000 foot cavalry brought by the widow are scattered in various cities in the country of Lü, and there are only three or four thousand people in their hands, and most of the rest are locals recruited by the country of Lü, who knows that they suddenly ...... water."

"The incident happened in a hurry, and the widow can't care so much."

In the face of Wu Xiao's remarks, Wu Zhang was deeply speechless.

"Twenty-seventh brother, King Lu! You made a fatal mistake. ”

"Now you have not only harmed the widows, but also all the Wu people who were stranded in the city of Sardis. What do you let the widow say about you? ”
