Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Li Si stumbled back that day with a pale face. When he entered the house, the family thought he was sick!

Called in sick the next day.

It's just that the Great Qin Empire was full of talents, and without Li Si, the court was not paralyzed.

The sun still rose, and the morning court was still up. Li Jiyang didn't go to court today, so he took his people to the mansion of General Wang Jian to ask for a date.

Immortal Taibai has already fixed the date, which is October [-]th, which is said to be an auspicious day, rare in a hundred years.

Li Jiyang just talked to General Wang Jian about the day of welcoming his relatives.

The gate of General Wang Jian's mansion was wide open today, besides General Wang Jian, there was also Wang Ben beside him.

Welcoming Li Jiyang to enter the door, Li Jiyang announced the date of marriage, Wang Ben said angrily: "October [-]th next year?"

Li Jiyang twitched the corner of his mouth: "What do you think?"

General Wang Jian slapped Wang Ben on the head in return: "Are you stupid? Your sister Wan'er will be eighteen next year! Do you want her to be like Li Qianer?"

Wang Ben shut up.

He didn't want his younger sister to be like Li Qianer. Li You looked honest and followed his mother, but Li Qianer knew she followed her father Li Si after seeing her like that.

It's a good thing now, I married myself to a businessman's youngest son, it is said that he is now doing business at the border, and he cares about every day to compete with his elder brother and sister-in-law for family property!

What an elegant and talented woman it was rumored back then, and now she has really become a "Chai girl"! She is a "Chai girl" who haggles with others all day long for firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea—"This year's October [-]th, may !” General Wang Jian agreed, on behalf of the Wang family.

In fact, the Wang family began to prepare a dowry for her as early as Wang Wan'er and Ji.

She will be married at the latest. After Wang Wan'er reached Jiji, Mrs. Wang also looked at her for her. Wan'er also wants to find a good husband. After all, she is in her uncle's house, not her own. She has been raised all these years I don't want to stay at home and be an old girl.

Her original wish was to find a general like her uncle. Now that the world is at peace, there are not many battles to fight. The border guards have high walls and thick walls. In the past few years of peace, there have been no battle casualties.

You can have children after a few years of marriage, and even if war breaks out, you are not afraid that you will have no children.

It's just that I didn't expect to marry into the royal family, so the dowry prepared for this would be richer and richer!

She cannot be compared with Qin Anjun, but she must not be less than other girls!

"It's just the dowry, what can you say?" Wang Jian led soldiers in war all his life, and he really had never managed a marriage.

Mrs. Wang also looked at Li Jiyang, she was not good at inquiring about others, but she could still talk to Li Jiyang: "The dowry prepared by the family, the land and other things have been changed, they have been replaced with gold, and the shop has been replaced with beautiful jade hairpins. .”

"Yes, yes!" Li Jiyang was very considerate of them: "Actually, Miss Wan'er can do whatever she wants with her things. She did not enter the palace to marry far away. I think you will come back when you are old. Your home is not far from the palace."

Isn't it!

The circle of ministers in Xianyang City is the closest to the imperial palace, almost at the root of the imperial city!

After Li Jiyang said this, the couple felt much more comfortable, and after discussing the date, General Wang Jian stayed with Qin Anjun for dinner.

The Wang family is a military general's family, and they are particular about eating meat in big bowls of wine, but everything that comes up is meat!

Fist-sized chunks of stewed beef are served hot, and the aroma instantly breaks the table!

The steamed venison is said to be hunted by Wang Ben himself. With soy sauce, the taste is amazing!

Braised beef knuckle and spiced lamb.

Finally, a spinach and egg soup was served, which made Li Jiyang see green.

The staple food is thin noodles, which are quite big, and half of it can fill Li Jiyang!

"Come on, now that the invitation period has passed, all that's left is to greet the relatives. This marriage will be too much trouble for Mr. Qin An. Let's have a drink!" General Wang Jian was very forthright.

The other big nobles use wine bottles, the kind of things that you hold in your hand, take a sip, it's beautiful.

Their households are all the big pottery Wan used in the military!

It's as big as a child's head, Li Jiyang visually estimated that a bowl can hold at least [-]ml!

Then I saw a bowl of white wine, at least [-] to [-] degrees, and General Wang Jian drank it in one gulp!

Li Jiyang: "...!"

He doesn't drink well, so don't drink like this!

"Brother Yang, do it!" Wang Ben was very grateful to Li Jiyang, because if Qin Anjun didn't show up, that's okay. In the past, when the royal family got married, it was a great way to save face by sending a clan member to handle it.

But Qin Anjun did everything by himself, from the very beginning of the six ceremonies, he has been present in person, even the wild geese were brought here by himself!

Just because of this importance, one can know what attitude the royal family has towards Wang Wan'er.

That's why Wang Ben fought with the emperor's younger brother instead of fighting every day.

"Well, I'll drink a little, I can't hold alcohol!" Li Jiyang took a sip, it was so spicy!

He didn't understand, why do these people like liquor so much?He also drank beer, such as German dark beer, Harbin cold beer, all of them, but he never thought it was delicious!

These people seem to be drinking enough, what kind of taste!

"How can a big man not drink?" General Wang Jian said: "You can't drink in the army. Even if you win a big victory, you can only drink one bowl per person to prevent accidents caused by alcohol."

"But I can't drink..." Li Jiyang grimaced.

"Then drink slowly...!" General Wang Jian looked at Li Jiyang and found that Qin Anjun's appearance hadn't changed much over the years, but his drinking capacity hadn't increased much either!

And after so many years, it's really rare to see Qin Anjun drinking from a big bowl!

So Li Jiyang had no choice but to drink slowly, and he preferred soup to white wine!

Mrs. Wang saw it, and removed his wine bowl and replaced it with a soup bowl: "Drink the soup, eat the meat!"

Li Jiyang smiled at her gratefully, and quickly ate two mouthfuls of beef.

Even so, when he returned to the palace at night, Li Jiyang's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were a little blurred, his heart was clear but his feet were trembling....

Ying Zheng laughed seeing him like this: "How much did you drink?"

"General Wang Jian can drink too much!" Zhao Xi said distressedly: "Your Majesty can't drink so much, but it's not good to give the general face, and the general is not allowed to drink because he has been in the army all year round. After finally being able to let go of the drink, he drank endlessly! If Mrs. Wang forcibly forbade Jun Shang to continue drinking, Jun Shang would have passed out by now!"

Ying Zheng picked him up and said, "Go and prepare some soup and food, and let them simmer all the time. If you wake up in the middle of the night and want to eat, you can serve them."

"No!" Zhao Xi hurried to make arrangements, he was afraid that the king would be uncomfortable and then spit it out later, and there was no food in his tossing stomach.

Ying Zheng washed and changed Li Jiyang's clothes, and asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to throw up?"

"I don't want to, it's just a little uncomfortable." Li Jiyang turned over and hugged Ying Zheng's arm: "I'm happy today, and the date is set on October [-]th."

The date is set, it's almost done, welcoming the bride is the last step, Ying Zheng is also happy that this matter was published in the newspaper the next day, and the public is also very interested in it, after all, the emperor's brother's wedding is probably only once in this life up.

Many merchants began to collect goods to send to Xianyang City again. After all, they prefer to go to their own capital to join in the fun than to do business with foreigners.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather cools down, and Li Jiyang's simplified characters are finally perfect!

On this day, by coincidence, Li Sishang said that he had collected all the characters!

Talking eloquently and triumphantly.

Li Jiyang gave him a head-on blow!

"My son has finished writing." Li Jiyang handed over two boxes of books: "Here are the writing examples of all the new fonts, and the finals and pinyin have been added."

Li Si: "...!"

Li Si is already in a daze, okay?

He just finished collecting all the fonts here, and Qin Anjun over there has completed the mission so frankly!

"Is this the pinyin of finals?" Gan Jing immediately grabbed a copy and began to read it. He heard Li Jiyang mention it and thought it was a huge thing, but he didn't expect Li Jiyang to make it out!

"That's right!" Li Jiyang explained to them what "Pinyin" and "Standard Mandarin" are.

In fact, Li Jiyang didn't expect this at first, and the word "unification" gave him inspiration.

Let's unify the currency, the characters, and the accent!

And because the state of Qin is in Guanzhong, everyone should speak a standard Guanzhong accent in this accent!

"From now on, this will be called 'Qin Yun'!" Li Jiyang pointed to the pinyin of the consonant and said, "In the future, it will be popularized all over the world, and the accent will be the same. Let's see who will divide it into Zhao and Chu!"

Everyone's expressions were stunned!

Although they are in Xianyang, occasionally they can hear some people when patrolling the government. These people are descendants of nobles from various countries. When they introduce themselves to others, they don’t say that they are "Zhao Kingdom", "Chu Kingdom" and others. , Renamed "Zhao Di", "Chu Di" and so on!

To put it bluntly, isn't it just a reluctance to part with the original honor?

But no matter how reluctant they are, their homeland is gone, and it would be useless to change the name—but people are so weird!

It is very easy for you to communicate with people from the original Chu state with a Chu accent!

If you use Zhao Di's accent, people in Chu Di will be xenophobic!

In fact, the knowledgeable people in this era are generally nobles, and there are too few poor families!

Although Li Jiyang and Long Yang have opened many schools together, and now knowledge is being widely spread, many people don't want to be an official, but think that if they don't become blind, they can find a good job in the future.

Marrying a wife and having children can also educate the next generation or something...

"This can be done!" The language is the same, the writing is the same, it depends on how to divide the place!

Li Jiyang took the opportunity to propose the imperial examination: "Why don't the yamen recruit people in the future, just take the exam! Imperial examination!"

"Imperial examination?" Everyone is now recommending, or the lower officials are recruited to take the exam. I haven't heard that the ministers still have to take the exam.

Li Jiyang told them about the imperial examination.

Li Si was completely dumbfounded!

Today's court meeting lasted for a long time, and after noon, the Yizheng Hall was lively for a long time, and the ministers were reserved for dinner before they were put back.

Li Jiyang was so exhausted that his voice was almost hoarse when he spoke.

The new text appeared in the newspaper soon, and there are also marked pinyin, finals, etc.!

All the literati in the world are excited about it!

Li Jiyang deliberately chose the contrast. Although Qin Zhuan's writing is mellow, it is not simple!

Jianbi characters are popular characters after more than 2000 years. They are simple, popular, and easy to learn!

Even newspaper groups publish comparative dictionaries!

Li Si's text collection was not a waste of effort, he was bought by people from the newspaper group, and it cost a hundred gold!

According to Li Jiyang's dictation, they created a book with pinyin and characters of various periods, as well as the final simplified characters!

Li Jiyang saw a thick and tome book, and when he opened it, his eyes lit up: "This is?"

"According to your dictation, our newspaper group made it. Do you think it is different from the dictionary you mentioned?" Yang Feiying was also very excited: "More than 40 of us made it!"

"Very good!" Li Jiyang closed the books together: "Just wait!"

He got up and ran to find Ying Zheng, and asked him to inscribe the book!

Ying Zheng dipped his pen and ink: "What do you want me to write to you?"

"Just write the four big characters of 'Da Qin Dictionary' in simple strokes, with the small characters 'first edition' on the back!" Li Jiyang pointed to the thick book and said, "Take out the jade seal and stamp it!"

Ying Zheng: "...!"

In the end, Yang Feiying returned to the newspaper group with such a sample. When the taxes and rations were collected, the "Daqin Dictionary" had already been published nationwide!
