Uncle Xi explained most of the things to the emperor clearly. The two of them did not return to the city or go anywhere. They just sat on the ground beside a thatched shed. After sorting out the whole thing, Emperor Fangxun's expression softened slightly, but he remained the same. There is dissatisfaction with Danzhu.
"Recommendation... Do you people recommend it with agreement? When I was looking for people with great virtues a few years ago, I didn't see you coming out to recommend me. When I went to find people with great virtues, they would scold me for being unhappy. sick!"
"What's going on now? Are all these outstanding young people jumping out all at once?"
Uncle Xi thought to himself that the emperor of your family is really a genius like his mother, isn't that true? Now these people happen to be adults!
Okay, please give me an accurate answer, what is it like, and can it be included in the inspection options?
"Is it such a simple matter to be included in the investigation?"
Emperor Fangxun stared at Uncle Xi and counted on his fingers: "Da Yi is the one, okay, I can rest assured that he will do the work; Chisongzi is the one, okay, old gentleman, I respect his virtue; you are the one, okay, He is also an old gentleman...Danzhu, hi!....Danzhu is not counted, what does he know!"
Uncle Xi: "..."
"Making tools, are all the things you said true? And the judgment of hydrogeology..."
Uncle Xi quickly took out a few rolls of prepared bamboo slips. Although Yi said not to take these things back to avoid being "taken away" by others, Uncle Xi thought about it carefully and thought that it is still necessary to bring a few representative things. That's fine, otherwise what should I do if I feel like I'm bragging?
"Bring it to me and see."
Di Fangxun brought a scroll of slips, stretched out his hand to open it, and then fell into a long, quiet time of reading newspapers.
This volume simply tells some concepts about water control, and according to Uncle Xi's records, it has been put into practice.
Di Fangxun's breathing gradually became much quieter, and his expression changed from suspicious to serious.
Whether he can become emperor or not, let's talk about it...
But this strategy for water control...
"I want to take this back and take a look. And as you said before, the Chifang clan is a branch of the Jinyun clan... How far away is it?"
Uncle Xi thought about it and said, "I guess I won't even recognize him if he's too far away."
Di Fangxunmo stroked his beard: "The Yandi clan... is not easy to arrange... Let me think about it carefully before talking about it. Let it go for now. If I finish thinking about it..."
After thinking about it, another person from the central government will be sent to the south to conduct research, but... the Yandi clan, basically...
Uncle Xi couldn't help but sigh.
This identity is really troublesome.
Nvying was not interested in the slip. Instead, she was very disgusted with the fact that the emperor had brought him on a blind date. At this time, her eyes wandered and she left. The girl went straight to Chonghua's stall.

Of course, it is impossible for Yu Zai to know what happened in the Central Plains, including Emperor Shun's plow making, and it is difficult to remember clearly. If he were his teammate, an archaeologist, he would probably be able to deduce what is going on in the Central Plains now.
In the south, at this point in time, besides being busy writing the twelve-volume work manual, Yu Zai also has two important things to do.
The first thing is the establishment of the Southwest Investigation Team. Of course, there will be no swearing-in meeting. Basically, there are two people from each tribe. Everyone makes do with it and goes to the southwest. If you can find the source of the big water, it is naturally good. ....If you can’t find it, the whole winter is basically over. Come back and stop looking.
The second thing is to tell the wizards of each tribe that when they go back, they hope to unify the "words" during the process of teaching.
The scripts used by wizards in each tribe are the same, which are special sacrificial scripts. However, due to the regional differences of each tribe, the warriors below use so-called oracle bone scripts, primitive scripts, picture scripts... and even knotted ropes. For those who remember, this is a problem of the southern tribes, which is very different from the Central Plains.
Most of the warriors of the Chifang clan can understand the writing, because the Chifang clan uses the Cangjie script of the Central Plains, the writing of the primitive era... To be honest, it is basically incomprehensible to later generations.
For details, please refer to the "Xia Seal" on King Yu's stele. The "rudimentary script" including later mature scripts appeared very early, as can be proved by the Yangshao Culture and Dawenkou Culture sites.
The reason why writing progressed slowly in the Shang Dynasty is actually related to the fact that merchants were both nomadic and farming, frequently fought wars, constantly moved capitals, and did not pay attention to folk writing.
Therefore, books share the same text, and cars run on the same track. Although this seems to be the work of Brother Zheng, Yu Zai feels that in order for the work manual to be successfully implemented in the south, it is necessary to follow the example of the Central Plains and unify the writing in most areas.
We can't have Huangdi send a writing system, Yandi send a picture and text system, Fuxi send a knotting system, and then from who knows which corner, who doesn't know which school, come up with a graffiti system or something...
"Literate! We are all literate! This is not necessary. Each tribe has its own 'writing'. Just understand it yourself. Our Changfengzhiye is different from the three mountains and four wilds..."
When Yu Zai made this request, someone would naturally say carelessly, "You don't need to worry about such details."
"Our writing, including your writing, is too primitive. We need a new writing to unify it. If the writing is different, the expression will be biased. If one word is contradictory, the meaning will be thousands of miles apart. In this case, if something goes wrong, , and it will take a lot of time to correct..."
Yu Zai said: "Most of the characters in the South are different from those in the Central Plains, and are even quite primitive. I am not here to promote the Chinese characters... Mainly because..."
Writing is a matter of cultural unification and recognition. Although Zheng Ge did this in large part out of political needs, Zheng Ge probably also saw it when he was a child. The written currency system of Zhao State was not easy to use in Qi State. , Qi State got it from Chu State, and Chu State had its own set of things. Although Emperor Zhou stipulated the "official seal script", no one criticized him at all!
What is the emperor? To the princes of the Warring States Period, isn't he just an old man playing in the mud?
Taking a step back, even if it is not for political significance, unification of writing can also greatly improve the efficiency of dissemination of cultural knowledge. Otherwise, a tribe thousands of miles away spreads a handwritten script, and no one can understand it. This book was burned as firewood, but how do you know whether what this book describes is the method of making an atomic bomb.
Many powerful black technologies in ancient times continued to disappear because of this. After disappearing, they were tinkered with, then disappeared again, and tinkered with again...
In the end, I couldn't get it out of my head.
Yuzai mentioned this matter to the wizards of various tribes, and said that he would report it to Xunshan and Chaisang for suggestions and consideration. Since we are going to build a new countryside, first of all, the written expression forms in each region must be unified.
In fact, it does not mean that the original writing of the tribe must be abandoned, but the new writing is more convenient to use, so those primitive and crude picture writing will naturally be abandoned.
At most, the tribe would have a "cultural official" to preserve the writing methods of those ancient characters.
No one would leave useful things unused and use troublesome things. Words that are not clearly expressed and words that are clearly expressed are completely different things.
However, this is not a one-day achievement, it must be sustained and popularized for a long time, and judging from the appearance of various wizards, they seem not to care about this matter.
"The next time I ask someone to copy it, it will be the new text version. Don't fail to learn from me..."
Yu Zai scolded all the wizards "viciously".
Very much like the Chinese teacher in the classroom.
A bunch of wizards were immediately shocked.
Because of so many days of compilation, I only compiled four volumes, which are still simplified versions of the first bamboo slips. The content is not particularly large, but I chose the most practical ones to write, but the meaning of the concubine, the following Other supplementary content, as well as new volumes, all need to use new text? !
No more sacrificial version of the work manual?
