Daming Military Empire

Chapter 440 Common Language
As soon as Bi Maokang's words came out, most of the representatives of the envoys of various countries and the envoys of the vassal states showed shocking expressions. The establishment of a new world pattern is indeed a bit big.

If officials from other countries uttered these words, most people would definitely scoff, joking that the new world order can be established if you want to?When other countries do not exist!
However, when the officials of the Ming Empire said this, the effect was different. Because the Ming Empire had the ability to establish a new world structure, most people showed shocking expressions. The Ming Empire really has a big heart!

Of course, there are also some people who look confused. Some of them are not good enough in Chinese and don’t know what it means to build a new world pattern. Some of them don’t understand Chinese at all, so they don’t know what Bi Maokang is talking about. Don’t be confused. No wonder.

Bi Maokang ignored everyone's shock and confusion, and continued as if nothing had happened: "Next, I would like to invite Master Huang Daozhou, the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, to tell you about the importance of a common language."

After finishing speaking, he saluted slightly, turned around and walked backstage.

People who understand Chinese are looking forward to the direction of the left and right backstage, waiting for the appearance of Zodiac Zhou. Those who don't understand Chinese are even more confused. What is this person doing? He said a few words that he didn't understand and went straight down!
Soon, Huang Daozhou walked up to the front stage from Shi Shiran from the backstage on the left, and said with a smile: "Maybe, there are still a large number of people who don't know what Master Bi is talking about just now. Is Master Bi playing the piano to the cow?"

Many people in the audience started to look around when they heard the words. When they saw the blank expressions of those who did not understand Chinese, they couldn't help but chuckled.

Especially Shi Weila who was sitting in the front row, I don't know if it was to show that he understood, or if Huang Daozhou's words were really funny, he actually laughed out loud!

The Duke of Uceda next to him frowned, and asked coldly in Spanish: "Count Shivela, what are you laughing at?"

Shivela suppressed his smile when he heard the words, and explained in Spanish: "Master Huang told a joke just now."

Uceda couldn't help asking: "What kind of joke is so funny?"

"Uh" Shivela is so embarrassing, how can he explain this to Uceda? Once he explained it, he made it clear to Uceda that I was laughing at you!
Fortunately, Huang Daozhou on the stage spoke again at this time, he raised his hand and said: "Okay, I will not play the piano to the cow, now I will tell you the importance of a common language, please put the words under your name tags The book is pulled out and turned to the second page."

Upon hearing this, Shivela immediately looked at the triangular nameplate with his name on it, and exclaimed, "This turned out to be a book!"

Indeed, the rectangular block under the name tag really looks like a wooden board, because it has realistic wood grains printed on its surface, and if you don't look carefully, you can't really tell that it is a book.

Curiously, he picked up the name tag, pulled out the cushion under it, and opened it to see that it was really a book, with the title of the book printed on the place where the name tag was pressed, a row of Chinese characters and a row of Portuguese characters, the meanings of which were the same. That is: to establish a new world pattern!

Seeing Shivela's actions, Useda couldn't help but also took out the book under his name tag. His book was actually printed with a row of Chinese characters and a row of Spanish. However, he was also forced to establish a new world pattern. The name attracted me deeply.

Without Shivela's teaching, he immediately opened the book, and the first page was a world map, which was the same as the one on the stage, only shrunk many times.

The second page is the main text, the left half is pure Chinese characters, he can’t read any of it, and the right half is pure Spanish, he can understand it naturally, the topic is: the importance of a common language, translated by the speaker It turned out not to be Huang Daozhou, the Minister of Education of the Ming Empire, but Huang Daozhou, the Minister of Education of the Ming Empire!

These are naturally written by Zhu Cijiong. He has high hopes for this meeting, so he has painstakingly prepared this lecture.

Don't underestimate this lecture, it seems that it is just a few people giving speeches on the stage, but it is not that simple.

First of all, it took Zhu Cijiong several days to draw the huge world map alone. In his mind, he had a vague outline of the world map of later generations. It's not the same, and he still needs to look up the maps of each country one by one, the difficulty of which can be imagined.

Then, the content of the speeches of Bi Maokang, Huang Daozhou and others were not their own ideas. It was Zhu Cijiong who summoned them to the study one by one, taught them carefully, and then they went back to write the manuscript and hand it over to Zhu Cijiong himself Reviewing, Zhu Cijiong spent a lot of effort during this period.

Finally, the books on everyone's table can't be printed with just a few strokes. There are not only Chinese characters on them, but also other languages ​​from the four countries. I don't know how many small typefaces I need to prepare for printing. , Moreover, the translation of each sentence has to be carefully considered, which also took Zhu Cijiong a lot of time.

For example, the official position of Huang Daozhou, if it is literally translated into the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty, it would be ridiculous. People don’t know what the Guozijian is for, and there is also a sacrifice. Why do you want to sacrifice wine, or what kind of wine? When it comes out, no one will understand it!
Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to change it to the Minister of Education of the Ming Empire, so the meaning is very clear. Of course, there is no Ministry of Education in the Ming Dynasty, but according to Zhu Cijiong's thinking, many yamen in the imperial court will definitely be reorganized in the future. I will skip the details here.

Going back to the lecture site, as soon as Huang Daozhou's words fell, there was a burst of exclamation and the sound of flipping books in the whole class. In fact, the majority of those present can understand Chinese, not to mention the vassal states. They are now learning Chinese. All of them are in Chinese, including Spain, Portugal, and the Holy Roman Empire. There are many representatives who understand Chinese. Many of these people learned Chinese in Daming, and some of them studied in Chinese schools in Europe.

In short, learning Chinese has become a fashion in all countries in the world, especially the allies of Ming Dynasty, but this fashion has not formed a trend, a trend, and the mission of Zodiac Zhou is to turn learning Chinese into a trend.

After everyone opened the book, he combined the content of the book to tell it vividly: "Language is a tool for communication between people."

He talked about the formation of the languages ​​of various countries from the very beginning of knotting the knot, and then he talked about the limitations and difficulties of exchanges among countries before the Age of Discovery, and also talked about the economic, cultural and even military exchanges of various countries after the Age of Discovery. The importance of a common language is told from various aspects.

In the end, he concluded that Chinese is the most suitable common language used by all countries in the world.

Because Chinese is the oldest and most comprehensive language, no matter what it is, it can be expressed accurately in Chinese;
Also, the Ming Empire has a vast territory and numerous vassal states. In terms of area alone, the area where Chinese is spoken accounts for at least [-]% of the world;
In addition, the population that speaks Chinese is also the largest, and now the combined population of the Ming Empire and all vassal states accounts for nearly [-]% of the world;
Also, Daming's technology is now the most advanced in the world. If you want to learn Daming's technology, you must first master Chinese;

Also, Daming’s products are also the most popular in the world now, if you want to do business with Daming, how can you do it without learning Chinese;
