"Your Majesty, please command." Lu Dongzan took a deep breath.

"If nothing else, the general of the Tang Dynasty should already be near Lhasa." Songtsen Gampo thought for a moment and then spoke, "Although we don't expect to take back Tibet, we have to do it!" Ask the Tang Dynasty to return the Tubo to us, you are an envoy, they will not embarrass you. ”

"If Datang won't return it, ask them to return some of the things we practiced in Lhasa, as well as gold and silver and other items, but you remember one thing, these things are not important, but what we want is an attitude, and after the meeting with the other party's general, you go to Chang'an as quickly as possible, to meet Your Majesty, how wronged you are and how wronged you are to tell this matter. Do your best to get the benefits that are beneficial to us. ”

"Your Majesty, what are our demands?" Lu Dongzan said seriously.

"If you want something, whether it's food, steel, or other materials, everything you need from Datang, even books." Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and said, "Since we want to learn from the Tang Dynasty to reform Tubo, then we don't have enough writing in Tubo, although we have caught a lot of scholars in this area in Tianzhu, I once thought about using Tianzhu's writing." ”

"But time does not wait for me, it will take a long time to change Sanskrit to my Tibetan script through the Tianzhu script, but if we want to strengthen management and learn the six-part system of the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty, we must use Tang and Tang characters, so in the future, we must all learn Tang and Tang characters."

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this?" Lunker asked with a moment's hesitation.

"Why not?" Songtsen Gampo asked.

"This ...... If we all study the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't I have to be deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty? Lunker spoke.

"What do you think?" Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan and Shang Xiang (today I found a mistake again, this person is actually called Shang Nang is the word nang, but I checked the information and saw that it was Xiang...... Full name: Niang Mangbujie Shangnang, forget it, that's it. As well as Li Feng.

"The minister has no opinion, it is okay to learn Tang dialect in Tang Chinese, and it is okay to create our own script, but what Your Majesty said is right, if we create our own script, it will take time." Lu Dongzan pondered for a moment and said.

"We need to train a certain number of officials, the death of a large number of nobles has reduced the number of literate people, if we want to train officials, then the knowledge passed on is the most important, but we in Tibet itself do not have books, either Sanskrit or Tang, but in fact...... The Central Plains culture has a greater influence on us, and the Tang Dynasty can carry more knowledge. Even if it is to adapt the text, the minister thinks that it is necessary to use Tang to adapt the text. Shang Xiang hesitated and said.

"Carrying more knowledge? Why did the Great Tribute Theory come up with this? Songtsen Gampo hurriedly asked.

Shang Xiang began to assist Songtsen Gampo when Songtsen Gampo was young, and he also went to the Subi tribe to persuade him to surrender, so that Subi also became a part of Tibet. According to normal history, Shang Xiang would have been framed by another Tibetan minister in the future, and then forced to rebel by Songtsen Gampo and then killed.

However, because of Li Ke's arrival, Tubo's strategy changed, and Shang Xiang's fate also changed, and the important minister who originally clashed with Shang Xiang stayed in Lhasa and was directly sentenced to death by the serf public trial.

As one of the most knowledgeable people in Tibet, Shang Xiang is obviously very vocal in this regard.

"I have systematically studied the differences between Sanskrit, Tang, and Persian, and I have found that except for Tang, all other scripts have a common feature, that is, all their words are different words composed of a certain number of basic letters. But there is a big problem with this, that is, every time a new word appears, you have to make a new word out of these letters, and then record this new word in a dictionary or dictionary, and then teach and learn. ”

And as time goes on, there will be more and more such words, and these new words will need to be relearned. If you don't come into contact with people who learn this word, you see this word, even if you know the letters, but you don't know the word, you don't even know the pronunciation. ”

"But the characters inherited in the Central Plains of China are different, their most commonly used words are only three or four thousand, even if all the words add up to 10,000, and after learning these words, even if there are new words, but you don't have to learn them alone, you can read it when you see this word, and even because you understand the meaning of a single word, even if this word is a new word, you can roughly guess its meaning."

In other words, the spread of the Chinese script is much wider than that of other scripts. The simplest, let's say that the word "eat" is a newly coined word, I have learned Chinese characters, although I don't understand the meaning of this word, but I can read it, and when I pass it on to another person, I can directly say this pronunciation and write this phrase. As long as another person knows the meaning of the word, he will understand. ”

"But all other words are not good, and the person who is the messenger in the middle must relearn the word and write it down, otherwise you will make a mistake by writing any of the basic letters."

"It's easier to learn in the short term, or to create a new script, like this alphabet, but over time, if the dictionaries carried by this kind of script in the past few hundred years, there will be more and more words to learn. As a result, many people who can speak the language and learn the language are still unable to read all the texts! That's the key. Shang Xiang said seriously.

This is within the scope of his own research.

After listening to Shang Xiang's words, several people in the tent understood, after all, Shang Xiang had already said very simply, if you don't understand this, there will be a problem with intelligence.

If Li Ke heard this, he would have to give Shang Xiang a thumbs up, I have to say that the people who can stay in history in this era have something.

The advantage of Chinese characters is known to almost the whole world in later generations, why from ancient times to the present, so many subject countries around China, small countries want to create words, and finally choose the alphabet, is because the alphabet type of writing is simple to create in the early stage, and the vocabulary only needs to be continuously increased and combined.

But I want to create a character like kanji...... That's not a little bit of difficulty, or without a complete historical heritage, this kind of writing is basically impossible to create!

Think about it, Tibetan, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Khmer later Cambodian, Laotian, and so on are all phonemic scripts! The only widely used morpheme script in the world is Chinese characters! As for Korean and Japanese, how to say it...... I can only say that I want to get rid of the influence of Chinese characters, but I found that I couldn't do it after getting rid of it, so I wanted to combine the two and then make it out.
