I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

So he asked, "I don't know what the content of the book written by the old gentleman is?"

"Oh, it's not a true statement, it's just a transliteration of an anthology."

Then Li Mu took the transliteration of an anthology handed over by Lao Cao, and opened it for a look.

What the hell!

Isn't this riding a horse something like pinyin?

And, more importantly, the old man also came up with simplified characters.

Lying in a big slot!

Is it so advanced?

"Mister, is this your book?"

"Or is it you?"

Li Mu: "..."

"But to be honest, there are some credits for you."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"The old man was also inspired by your pinyin method, so I have this book."

Li Mu immediately covered his face, and the pinyin was also done casually, mainly for the convenience of the subsequent popularization of physical and chemical units.

But even so, he didn't dare to play tricks like simplified characters.

As for why?

Because the gentry will not admit it, and it will even lead to confrontation.

The reason lies in the monopoly of education.

The simplification of the font means that it is much easier for ordinary people to read and write.

In this way, the status of the gentry will be threatened.

If the difficulty of literacy is reduced, the literacy rate generally increases.

Then, the power of the mudlegs to hit the door will be greatly increased, which is what they don't want to see.

Therefore, popularizing simplified characters is very difficult.

Then, what surprised Li Mu even more was that the old man hadn't finished yet, and he said, "Xiao Li, this old man has another idea."

"What do you think?" Li Mu faintly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Uniform language."

What the hell!

Fuck it!

This old man really dares to think!

"What's wrong? You still want to promote Mandarin?"

"Mandarin? Well, that's a good title."

Nima!

The current official dialect of Datang is "Luoxia Dialect".

However, this so-called official language is actually only a small part in use.

More or use dialect.

Moreover, this Luoxia Mandarin is too difficult to learn.

It's purely for the scumbags of the gentry to seek a sense of superiority.

So, how difficult is it to promote a unified Mandarin in the Tang Dynasty where dialects and birdsong are everywhere?

Just can't imagine.

"Doctor Cao, do you think we can do this?"

"Others may not be able to, but you may be able to."

What? ? ?

"how do I say this?"

I saw the old man Cao said with a smile.

"One, you have rice paper, and two, you are not afraid of death."

"..."

"Needless to say the function of rice paper, as for another reason, anyway, what you are doing now is no different from seeking death, so what's the point of bearing one more crime?"

I am special!

Just when Li Mu was hesitating whether to accept this hot potato.

The long-lost system notification sounded.

[Ding, system task: Accept Cao Xian's entrustment to complete the promotion of Mandarin and Simplified Chinese]

Well, now I can't even think about playing.

Chapter 292 The ecstasy of a certain militant!

"There is news from Jakir that some minerals have been found on Gandhara's side."

"Minerals? What kind of mines are there?"

"There are gold, silver, copper, iron and coal." Li Mu said calmly while pouring tea for Li Zekai.

After pouring the tea, Li Mu continued to add, "There is a silver mine in it, which is said to be very large."

"How big is it?"

"It's no less than the Toyosu Silver Mine."

hiss--

Li Zekai was shocked, and half of the tea in the cup in his hand was spilled without realizing it.

Then he suddenly came to his senses, "Then...wouldn't we be making a fortune again?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded, "The silver mine is said to be found in the southwest of Gandhara, open-air silver, and it can be mined directly after digging a mine. According to the data on the data, it must be much bigger than the silver mine in Fengzhou. .”

"So big?"

Excited, Li Zekai stood up abruptly and walked around twice.

But then he thought of something, and the excitement on his face gradually faded.

"Does old Binzhou know about this?"

The Binzhou old man that Li Zekai mentioned was Hou Junji.

As Li Jing's nephew in later life, Li Zekai definitely didn't have a good impression of Hou Junji.

Back then, Hou Junji stabbed a knife in the back and reported Li Tianwang's conspiracy, which caused Li Tianwang to become an otaku at home.

People in the Li family always remember this grudge.

"It must be known, and not only he knows, but all the countries in the Western Regions know."

"Huh? What's the situation? Jakir is so unreliable?"

"It's none of Lao Jia's business, it was deliberately spread by the Qiemo people."

"Oh? These subjugated slaves want to make trouble?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Li Mu spread his hands and smiled.

"Are you in no hurry?"

"What's the hurry? Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you."

"Then what does Binzhou old man say?"

"Old Hou should not send troops."

"Ok?"

"One is that the division came out of nowhere, and the other is that the three states are not stable. If Qiemo's remnant army finds an opportunity to send troops at this time, causing the management of the three states to be destroyed, he, Hou Junji, cannot bear the responsibility."

When Li Zekai heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then nodded, expressing that he made sense.

He, Hou Junji, is a man who has experienced the rivers and lakes for a long time. It is impossible for him to lose the big cake and pick up sesame seeds because of a small loss.

"What are you going to do?"

"Give it up, what else can I do, after all, apart from silver mines, there are also coal mines, brown coal, high-quality goods, clay is also good, and can be used to make porcelain."

"So many benefits? You have to grab it!"

"However, now that the news has spread, there must be many forces participating in the scramble. People from Khotan, Shule, and even Western Turks are all ready to move."

"Then how do we do it?"

"Don't worry, there are people on my side. Besides, the old Hou can't send troops, but that doesn't mean he can't mobilize some people. After all, there is a way."

"That's good, but when the time comes, I will definitely share some of the benefits of the old man in Binzhou. Thinking about it, I feel unwilling." Li Zekai gritted his teeth.

Li Mu smiled, but didn't say anything.

-

the other side.

In the Western Regions, rose apples are born.

Near the end of the year, there has just been a heavy snowfall.

It also means that no more supplies will be shipped over for the time being.

At least not in the short term, and it may even have to wait until the beginning of spring for new supplies to arrive.

Fortunately, there were enough materials in the stockpile before, but it could last until the beginning of spring.

"Captain Li, there is news from Bolu that the Lord Bolu has begun to use troops against Gandhara."

"Well, how is the battle going?"

"In a big defeat, King Kavesh did not dare to touch his edge, and has fled to the end of the world."

The so-called Kabishi is the suzerain country of Gandhara, and it is also the location of the mining area. It is probably located in the Kabul Valley of Afghanistan in later generations.

As for the lost honey, it is now Kashmir, located in the west of China, northeast of Pakistan, and north of India.

After Li Fengjie heard the news, he said three good words.

"Good good!"

He raised his head and took a sip of soju, then wiped his beard with a relaxed expression.

That's right, this dude is growing a beard now.

But it seems that he hasn't taken care of it very much, with a full face of whiskers.

It's almost Li Simo's demeanor.

But it's no wonder, after all, the living conditions in this ghost place are very difficult, so I don't have the time and energy to take care of my beard, as long as I make sure it doesn't grow like a savage.

"I heard that there are thoroughbred horses in the area of ​​​​Jie Shimi, and I will find a chance to go there and get some back."

Thinking of this, Li Fengjie's face glowed with brilliance.

As a person who is slightly fanatical about war, he is neither greedy for money nor lustful.

Just like all kinds of war horses and weapons, as well as the sense of conquest brought on the battlefield.

He had already heard about the dragon horses in the area of ​​Ruo Shimi, but he never found the opportunity.

Now, the opportunity is right in front of us, and we must do something cool.

"By the way, I heard that the king of Gandhara is extinct?"
