Since I was already prepared, I didn't spend much time this time. Guo Kang quickly persuaded Lama Wang to give him more help, and he also went to Father Ross for help.

Father Mikhail was happy to help. Guo Kang told him that he planned to set up a new school in the local area in the future, and the church would arrange for personnel to teach these Rus' people to read the basic script. According to his plan, every family needs at least one person to be literate.

Moreover, in the course of the class, these people are also taught to study the law and understand the basic common sense - such as how the country is run, who runs the city, how to react to the situation when encountered, and so on.

Although it seems that this is all very simple knowledge, but in this year, many people really don't know, especially these Rus'.

According to the previous understanding, these people do not have the concept of "joining the army is a civil right" at all. In their eyes, being a soldier is to be cannon fodder for Lord Boyar, and they do not understand the relationship between power and force, as well as the principle of equal power and responsibility. If they live in an environment where no one has this concept, then even if these people are stuffed into the legion, they will not be able to fight well.

To put it bluntly, a qualified army is not formed in the barracks, but is jointly created by the whole society. Based on this principle, it is easy to see why so much attention is paid to their community environment.

Therefore, it is necessary to carefully organize their settlements, sort out their household registration, and establish an effective education system, so that they can train qualified soldiers.

Both priests had studied theology in the Orthodox Church, knew Greek, and understood the importance of language and writing. Therefore, they all agree with Guo Kang's suggestion. Father Mikhail even said with gratitude that this was a saint-like act of kindness.

Because the conditions are too good, they don't bother to investigate other details - of course, Guo Kang himself hasn't planned the details yet. According to his original plan, these people would not need to learn Greek, but could just learn Chinese characters.

However, he hadn't discussed this matter with anyone else, and he didn't know how to arrange it best.

At the beginning, everyone promoted Chinese characters, in fact, they did not want to divide the territory of Rome because of language problems. But looking at it now, the situation is still relatively awkward.

Kanji, as a lingua franca, does have various benefits. But on the other hand, the Purple Horde did not have the ability to popularize the Chinese language and Chinese characters among the whole people. This has led to odd phenomena: some people speak half-baked Chinese; Some people will forcibly pronounce Chinese characters using the grammar and word order of the local language; Others spell Chinese characters directly in the local language, making reading and writing two separate systems...... Until now, it can only ensure that the middle and upper echelons of the army can use Chinese proficiently.

But on the other hand, there is no better lingua franca. In the "Romanian" region where the Purple Horde began, the local Bulgarians and Wallachians were reluctant to accept the Greek language. They felt that the Greeks' own empire had not forced them to accept the language, and that there was no need for the Purple Horde.

Especially in the border areas, due to the long-term antagonistic relationship, some people simply prefer to learn Chinese rather than learn the words of the Greeks, let alone accept Greek as the lingua franca that everyone must learn, and resolutely oppose linking Greece and Rome.

And by the same token, the Greeks did not like the words of these "Slavs" either. There were not many Greeks who served as officials, and their opinions also had a certain influence and could not be ignored casually.

In the end, no one could convince anyone, so they could only bring the Chinese characters of "third party". The advantage in this kind of controversy, the greatest advantage of kanji, is that the legion likes it very much. In any case, everyone can say that the use of Chinese characters is a military necessity, not to despise and suppress anyone culturally, thus avoiding troublesome arguments among the locals.

In the current situation of these Slavs, if they had a choice, they would definitely choose Chinese instead of Greek. Therefore, Guo Kang has some confidence in this.

Other than that, it can only depend on the situation and make a temporary decision.

At that time, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and demanded that all countries use the written language uniformly. It may seem like a big project, but it's not that difficult.

According to the conclusions that later generations have drawn from the Liye Qin Jian, during the Qin Dynasty, some of the local officials were the officials of the previous Chu State, and after the fall of the Chu State, they were continued to be retained by the Qin Dynasty county guards. The script they used changed from the Chinese characters of Chu to the font designated by the Qin Dynasty, but it actually took only a few months for these Chu people to fully adapt to the new format of Kumon, and even learned the colloquialisms in the official documents of the Qin people.

Therefore, the premise of quickly unifying the text is that everyone's writing is about the same. There are differences, but they depend on who they compare themselves to – they are even negligible compared to the situation in Europe.

No matter how great Qin Shi Huang's exploits are, he is just an ordinary person, not a myth like the Heavenly Father, and it is impossible to do things without the historical background. It is precisely because of this basis of reality that it is possible to achieve a unified script.

And on the side of the Purple Horde, it has done its best to get to the point where it is now......

Of course, there is another aspect that is difficult to explain, and that is the mentality of the upper rulers.

Guo Kang himself knew that the Purple Horde was still a structure of a small clan and a large country. Under this system, the mentality of the ruling class is actually very subtle.

Although nominally a country founded by the Mongol Golden Family, from the ancestor Boyan Timur, there was basically no one in the entire family who could speak Mongolian. Because the Golden Horde spoke the Turkic Kipchak language, Boyan Timur, as a small head of the middle and lower classes, would only speak this back then. As for the later generations, they gradually did not even know Turkic......

Moreover, after the Civil War, the Mongol princes were liquidated; After Timur defeated Tokhtamysh and defeated the remnants of the Golden Horde, the local steppe nobles underwent another major reshuffle. After two rounds of purges, the traditional tribal aristocracy actually has little power.

Among the current group of "Mongols", there are probably only a few officials who are in charge of diplomacy and often trade and diplomatic contacts with Central Asia and the steppe regions, and they can also speak Mongolian. Even if he takes off himself, he will only say a few words to say hello to others, call people to drink, and so on.

And because of the role of the Marquis of Nanya, as the real high-level language of the court, Chinese is actually the "Chinese" of the Khan's court. From the time when Guo Gai was in charge of internal affairs for a long time, it was basically established.

In fact, the princely families did not know more than this language. Like the Cao family and the Shi family, they were all mixed in the Turkic tribes. But for everyone, the Chinese language is not only the greatest commonality, but also the collective memory of each family as a community, which has irreplaceable significance. Without Chinese, everyone may have to break up.

Although it sounds a little strange, the Chinese language and military skills are actually the "anchors" of the self-positioning of the upper echelons of the Khan's court.
