Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang has always done what he wants, and since he wanted to make a dictionary, he immediately devoted himself to it.

To unify the six countries, the most important thing is that the books have the same text, and the language is easy to be biased, but as long as the text is controlled, the scholars in this world will be controlled. They are the foundation of culture, and the unification of the text touches their fundamental interests. Find a way to minimize this resistance.

When the languages ​​of the six countries can no longer be mentioned, the restoration of the rich and powerful will basically come to an end.

Of course, he did not do such a large workload alone, but first collected [-] commonly used characters, and then found the doctors in Xianyang to divide this task, and each person was responsible for a radical character , let them find the source of the word, and add notes next to it.

And he himself made a comparison table of the six languages. Fortunately, although the languages ​​of the six countries are very different, the grammar has not changed. All that is needed is to compare them one by one.

Because everyone has few tasks, the explanation of these two thousand words is almost enough in less than a month.

Yan Jiang asked them to exchange and proofread different manuscripts, and finally unified them into his own hands. After comparison and reading, he revised and deleted some sources and explanations that were too old and no longer used, and then asked people to engrave the engraved version.

Because these have to be widely distributed and proofread, he ordered the engraver to re-engrav a word after engraving it wrong.

With this regulation in place, it only took half a month for the engraver to engrave hundreds of plates, and there were not many mistakes or omissions.

Ever since, the thickest book to date was born.

Although the words were printed as small as possible, there are still more than 30 words in the whole book, which is a thick volume, which is like a brick in the hand.

Yan Jiang distributed such bricks, each of the disciples in the school had a copy, and asked them to put forward suggestions for revision, and then summarized the opinions to Lu Zhi, and finally handed them to him together.

Under such a large compilation of division of labor and cooperation, Yan Jiang finally made a "Qin Dictionary" before April of the 17th year of Qin Huang as the birth gift of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Huang was overjoyed, stroked this hardcover book, and personally issued an order, making this book a compulsory textbook for all schools.

In April of the 17th year of Qinhuang, Qinhuang held a restructuring ceremony. He called himself Zhen, changed his order to 'Zhi', ordered him to 'Zhao', issued a summons, divided the world into 36 counties, and divided some clans into remote counties. , based on the theory of pushing the five virtues from the beginning to the end, claiming that the Qin Dynasty was the virtue of water, and extending the Zhuanxu calendar with October as the first month to the whole country, and then ordered Wang Wankai and Lin to take charge of the unification of weights and measures and writing.

On this day, the drinking order is lifted, high taxes are not charged, and the world is allowed to drink freely to celebrate the unity of the world.

The city of Xianyang was bustling for three whole days before it barely calmed down.

Qin Huang himself was overwhelmed by the huge amount of things that came in every day - he was so busy that he didn't even have time to pamper A Jiang.

At first Yan Jiang thought it was good to be able to sleep well, but after more than a month of this kind of life, he felt empty and lonely, and was even willing to help a little, so that King Qin could have a little leisure time to pay for food.

"You already have gray hair." After taking a bath, Yan Jiang found an extremely long white hair in King Qin's loose long hair, and pulled it out to show him.

"Do you think I'm getting old?" King Qin lazily leaned against the side of the bath, enjoying the massage, and then hissed lightly.

A Jiang's pressure was excruciatingly painful, but after the pressure, the sore shoulders and neck seemed to be born again, which was something the waiters had no guts to do.

"Not yet." Yan Jiang took a second look at King Qin's flat stomach, which had lost his abdominal muscles, and reached out to touch it. Fortunately, there is no fat for the time being.

Qin Huang understood his meaning in seconds, and looked at him coldly for a while: "You should look at yourself first."

Yan Jiang lowered his head and found that there were only two abdominal muscles left. He clicked lightly: "You and I have neglected to exercise these days. By the way, does Ah Zheng like tight ones or soft ones?"

Qin Huang naturally wouldn't do multiple-choice questions, and said calmly: "It's you, you can do whatever you want."

This can be said to be the standard answer. Yan Jiang leaned against him and said casually: "This is not possible. Now all the important matters of the 36 counties are in your hands. You are so concerned about everything, but you are young and strong. But it’s a small matter, it’s better to let go as soon as possible.”

"Now that the six kingdoms have just been destroyed, and there is injustice everywhere, we must take more care of it," Qin Huang put his arms around him, and whispered in his ear, "Furthermore, the widow is going to tour the world to intimidate the kingdoms. A Jiang is willing to go with you. Visit the great rivers?"

"No." Yan Jiang refused straight away, following a large group of people for what fun.

"..." King Qin's dissatisfaction was beyond words.

"Don't make a fuss, it's a waste of time and money for you to move. When the world is more stable, I'll go out with you in two years." Yan Jiang coaxed him skillfully, "You scared me to death when you went out last time, so you must be safe this time. Are you right?"

Of course, Emperor Qin was not so easy to be coaxed. Just as he was about to refute that you ran away again after two years, A Jiang skillfully changed the topic: "I have finished the painting of the king, so I will go and have a look."

Qin Huang nodded in agreement.

On the first day of May, the spring breeze blows, and the Weishui River is full of people coming and going.

After several years of habit, the market on the first day of each month has become an important day for the people of Xianyang, and it is also a carnival day for merchants big and small.

On this day, there is no need to pay expensive entry fees, and everyone will take out the redundant things and replace them with some important ones.

From firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, to tea horse, mulberry, and paper books, there are everything that one expects to find on the banks of the river for several miles.

When there is no room for people and vehicles on the river bank, some people come to the boat, set up wooden boards by the water's edge, and make temporary stalls.

And this year, there is a very special book that has become a super-sought-after item.

"Dictionary" is Yan Zi's new masterpiece, and only the latest edition has been released, which contains a thousand commonly used characters, and in the appendix, the language comparison between the six countries and the Qin country is marked.

In these books, only Qin Qi, Qin Zhao, Qin Yan, Qin Wei, Qin Chu and other five countries were compared. South Korea was directly ignored by Yan Jiang because of its small size.

He is a person who has traveled through the six countries, and this is still possible. After compiling it, he will find the scholars of the six countries to modify and adjust it, and it will be done very quickly.

Today's books generally have to be revised repeatedly, and they don't come out in ten or twenty years, but Yan Dong doesn't want to wait that long. In his opinion, it takes more people to find bugs quickly.

In his vision, this is every book, and in the future, this matter will be handed over to others, and one edition will be revised every year, and characters will be searched by radicals.Wait for the next edition, promote the pinyin, and then add it.

As for the big difference between the ancient pronunciation and the pronunciation of later generations, it is not a problem for him at all. Things are dead and people are alive. Even English can be phoneticized in Chinese characters. It's never too late to say good or bad.

Limited by printing technology, the book "Dictionary" is expensive, but even so, it is still very popular and even pirated.

Scholars from the six countries in the Xianyang Academy all praised the book as showing the benevolence of Qin, and Yan Jiang wanted to laugh. He just added the signatures of the participants.

Yan Jiang watched the excitement by the river from a distance, and felt that he had paid too much.

Qin Huang really wanted to go to the market, but he also knew that it was very dangerous in such a crowded environment, so he could only take Hua Hua to watch people from the other side, feel the prosperity under the rule, and fish by the river.

But it may be that he was too tired recently, and he was blown by the river again. After returning from the palace, he felt a little hot, his whole body was sore, and he was thirsty.

Yan Jiang put a cold towel on him, and called the imperial physician's order by the way.

Although he doesn't believe in imperial physicians these days, after all, the development of medicine at this time is still in ignorance, and some places have not even emerged from the Wu family, but after all, it is a court rule, and it is better to stick to it.

Soon there was an imperial physician ordering him to treat King Qin, saying that Emperor Qin just had a cold occasionally, but fortunately the king was healthy and brave, and he would be fine after two days of rest.

Of course Yan Jiang knew this was the case, so he ordered someone to boil ginger soup with brown sugar and serve it.

Then he took a second look at the imperial physician: "Why isn't it Xia Wuqie?"

The imperial physician who threw the box to save King Qin back then has always been the most trusted order of the imperial physician by King Qin.

Now this one is a little younger, looking only in his early forties, with a simple and unpretentious appearance, a tall and straight body, and an ethereal and indifferent temperament. He looks more like a hermit than a doctor.

Then the imperial physician said calmly: "Return to Zhengqing, Xia Wu is over seventy years old, and he retired to his hometown ten days ago. There is no order for a new imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Office. Today is just the time for the young minister to take up his post."

Yan Jiang nodded: "I see, what's your name?"

He was just asking casually, after all, he was so good looking that he was not an unknown person at first glance.

The man's words floated to Yan Jiang's ears indifferently, but it was like a thunderclap: "Report to Zhengqing, Xiaochen Xu Fu, a native of Qi."

"Understood, step back." Yan Jiang said calmly.

Xu Fu resigned.

Qin Huang looked at the direction in which the imperial physician retreated, and frowned, "What's wrong with this person?"

Yan Jiang said calmly: "No."

Qin Huang didn't believe it: "Then why did you suddenly pinch me just now?"

Yan Jiang said sorry to Xu Fu lightly in his heart, and then put on an expression of appreciation: "He looked up at me when he resigned, which surprised me. It is said that I have seen many people from the Six Kingdoms, but such a fairy-tale character, It's the first time I've seen you, and if it wasn't for you, Ah Zheng, I'd like to get acquainted with you."

After that, he picked up the soup bowl: "Come and drink the ginger soup, sweating."

Qin Huang looked at the direction Xu Fu left, frowned slightly, and after a breath, he stretched again, as if nothing had happened.

The two scooped and the other drank, and the palace was full of affection.
