Di Ying curled her lips when she thought of Xu Lang.
Di Ying never had a good impression of foreigners. Especially those people from the Japanese country: bow-legged, dwarfed, and raw food eaters, they are not cold at all.
Di Ying was opposed to letting them serve as officials in the Xia Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.
It’s not that I’m afraid of what they’ve learned, but that I’m afraid of what they’re going to do—cultural invasion, or hegemony.
The general is the heart of the soldier, and the soldier is the courage of the general. After a general has led his soldiers for a long time, the soldiers become the general's soldiers and no longer the emperor's soldiers.
This is the biggest reason why successive emperors were afraid of generals.
So, same thing.
If the magistrate of a county governs the people with subtle and distorted education, the future will be worrying.
There were also many ministers who prevented several emperors from doing this, but none of them had any actual effect.
Di Ying couldn't control it either. He can only take care of his own affairs first.
He asked Qian Wu to find a translator specially hired by the state government who understood sign language.
Found three.
Zhu Xiang, Ren Lin, Luan Chao.
Among them, Ren Lin is a woman, about thirty years old.
Zhu Xiang, about 20 years old;
Luan Chao is about forty.
It is very difficult for normal people to read and write due to limited financial resources, let alone people with disabilities?
However, there are only a few people in the country who care about those with disabilities, are knowledgeable themselves, and even learn sign language for this purpose.
Ningzhou was able to find three people, so it was obviously because of those cases.
Di Ying looked at the chubby Ren Lin and asked aloud: "In the cases where deaf-mute people committed crimes, how many cases did you participate in the translation?"
Ren Lin heard the question and answered without thinking: "126 cases. Involving 451 people. Among them, 173 were deaf-mute people involved."
"You have a good memory."
Di Ying praised with a slight smile.
Ren Lin was praised, and her round and fair face wrinkled with joy. He then said: "My subordinates deliberately learned sign language in order to be helpful to the deaf-mute people.
When I found out that they committed crimes wantonly, I felt very sad about it. Therefore, every detail is recorded in detail. "
Di Ying nodded slightly when he heard this.
He asked Zhu Xiang again: "Translator Zhu, what about you? How many cases have you participated in?"
"Returning to your question: Because my subordinates are still young and have been employed by the state government for only three months, they are less involved. There are 19 cases in total, and the number of deaf-mute prisoners involved is...about 32 people."
Zhu Xiang answered respectfully.
When Di Ying listened to his last report of the number of people, she hesitated for a moment and even said the word "about", and then she knew: Zhu Xiang, a young man, was probably just passionate about sign language.
I am not that dedicated to translating for prisoners.
But this is also the intended meaning of the question.
After all, young people always tend to hate people and crimes more.
"Luan Chao, what about you? Were you involved in all the rest?"
Di Ying asked Luan Chao.
Luan Chao nodded in response to the question and only replied with a simple "yes".
Di Ying came close to the back of the chair, placed her hands leisurely on her lower abdomen, and asked the three of them with a smile: "Then, which one of you will tell me why those deaf-mute people committed the crime?"
The three of them were all stunned when they heard the question.
Ren Lin spoke up first: "Sir, haven't their cases been concluded? Aren't the reasons clearly recorded in the case files?
It's just for money. Whether it's robbing, robbing, stealing, or anything else, it's all for money or valuables.
Because they had no ability to survive, they took risks. After all, people have to live. "
"oh?"
When Di Ying saw that Ren Lin had finished speaking and Zhu and Luan nodded, he said softly and asked: "As far as I know, the conditions in the 'disability center' specially set up by the state government for disabled people are not harsh.
Especially deaf people. Although they cannot hear or speak, they have hands and feet. As long as they can complete the tasks assigned by their disabilities on time, survival is not a problem at all.
Why would you insist on doing something illegal, risking severe punishment or losing your life? "
"this……"
All three were questioned.
After a few breaths passed, it was Ren Lin who replied first: "Sir, we are only responsible for translating and communicating what both parties want to express. We have not studied the others."
Di Ying understood the meaning of this.
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered the unpleasantness that Peng Liang and his guards had caused on the way because of the comments made by passers-by.
Di Ying signaled Ren Lin to stay and asked Xu Si to take the other two people out of the door.
When Di Ying saw that the door was closed, he faced Ren Lin: he stretched out a finger and pointed at his ear, then straightened his palm and made a wavy line movement from top to bottom.
Then the left palm is placed across the chest, the right palm is in a chest-slapping shape, the palm is facing the chest, and the back of the palm is hitting the side edge of the left palm.
Open your palms again, with the roots of the palms touching and the fingers forming a bud shape.
Starting from the little finger, the ten fingers come together relative to each other.
Make fists with both palms and strike each other.
Asked Ren Lin: "What do you mean?"
Ren Lin: "...Listen to the wind, block it, protect the flowers from blooming and falling, and bear fruit? The combined meaning should be: when the wind comes, protect the flowers quickly, otherwise the wind will blow them away and they will not be able to bear fruit."
Di Ying listened and nodded slightly without comment.
Let Ren Lin go out, and then let Xu Si bring Zhu Xiang in.
He did the sign language and Di Ying that he had done before again to Zhu Xiang.
Zhu Xiang explained: "Listen to the waves. There is a beach on the seaside, which blocks the waves. The sea water blooms like flowers. Unfortunately, it is short-lived and fleeting. The back waves surge out and collide with the front waves."
After hearing this, Di Ying still nodded noncommittally and asked Zhu Xiang to go out, and Luan Chao came in instead.
Luan Chao was puzzled by the series of gestures made by the adults.
"Sir, are you... just making random gestures? You can't even form a sentence."
Di Ying waved her hand, signaling Luan Chao to go down and take Ren Lin and Zhu Xiang away.
Di Ying did not make blind gestures.
He was just making gestures that normal people might make based on their understanding.
But those three people understood it in three ways.
Di Ying thought for a while and asked Liu Liudao, who was standing by, "Guess?"
Liu Liu had been thinking about it for a while, and then replied: "You want me to listen to all kinds of news on the street? It's other people's comments, right?
Then you have to have your own firm ideas and choose the most useful ones. To sum up the general meaning, it is: don't listen to other people's nonsense, it is most useful to work together with your own people. "
"Yes! That's what I guess. As long as my heart is firm, it doesn't matter what others say." Shi Shi said.
Chang Jiu also spoke up: "What you are describing should be like this: Each of the ten fingers has its own length. If you listen to rumors, they will be easily defeated by others. You still have to stick to your heart and unite together to be more powerful."
