When Chen Hui followed Peng to the capital for the first time to report on his work and exchange, while waiting for the exchange, Zeng Heying turned around the capital. At that time, he found that there was still a large amount of uncultivated land on the side of the cultivated land.
Since there is not enough food, why not reclaim the wasteland?
Chen Hui had this question at that time, but he didn't ask.
At this time, I learned that eating a big pot of rice has come to such a stage. Obviously, there is no need to ask this question. The reclamation of wasteland must also be the capital's organization of civilian collective labor, which shows the low efficiency.
The purpose of Exempting the capital from grain from reclamation is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the common people.
In any case, in this world, food is hard currency.
However, even if Chen Hui had modern knowledge, he would not be so comprehensive.
For example, at this time, Jie thought of a place of conflict. If this order is issued, it will make the civilians lose enthusiasm for the expansion of the gate of the capital, and then they all go to farming, which will slow down the expansion of the gate of the capital.
"No harm!" Chen Hui waved his hand and said: "at this time, the farmland has been sown. The common people just want to reclaim the wasteland. The so-called family rules, state-owned laws and the expansion of Chengmen gate are related to the safety of the capital and the living problems of the common people. They can directly order adult men to participate in the construction of Chengmen gate gate. If they want to reclaim the wasteland, It must be after the expansion of the gate is completed. "
Peng is the Lord of the city. Such news must be issued by Peng himself.
After careful discussion and finding that there was no omission, Peng went to do it.
Some of Jie might as well go first. Although she wanted to go with her, she hesitated because Chen Hui didn't let her go.
"Madame, if you want." Chen Hui said with a smile.
"Thank you, my Lord!" After Jie saluted Chen Hui, she walked away quickly.
At this time, Chen Hui sighed and said, "it's too inconvenient in the era of no words. Otherwise, this kind of thing just needs to put up a notice, which is more formal and saves so much waste of words!"
The old beggar said in the interface: "there are words now!"
"Seriously?" Hearing the old beggar's words, Chen Hui immediately looked at the old beggar and asked in amazement, "why didn't I see the words in the ethnic settlement and capital before my friends?"
"The implementation time is not long!" The old beggar immediately said, "it's only spread in the royal city at present!"
The old beggar said something and wrote a few words on the ground.
Seeing the words written by the old beggar, Chen Hui immediately understood that they were pictographs, which were more appropriate than words.
"Sir, when did this matter begin?" Chen Hui asked immediately.
The old beggar closed his eyes and pondered for a while. He said, "it has been more than ten years since the emperor of the five ethnic groups agreed on the issue of writing. The progress is very slow. Therefore, it is only circulated in the royal city. As far as I know, the emperor of the five ethnic groups agreed that the issue of writing will be promoted when it reaches the daily consumption."
After a pause, the old beggar said, "however, some of the big Heng cities have already had words spread at this time!"
The old beggar's words are obviously in conflict with Chen Hui's knowledge, because Chen Hui only knows Cangjie's words in the myths and legends.
As for how words really appeared, Chen Hui did not know.
I didn't expect that at this time, the world just caught up with the creation of words?
What the old beggar said about characters is very obvious. The characters were decided by the emperors of the five ethnic groups. It must be a very long process, because there are many characters. Even if they appear in the form of hieroglyphs and are customized by five people, the emperors of the five ethnic groups will certainly appear. When they hold different opinions on the graphic expression style of a certain character.
Hearing the news, Chen Hui stood up and kept pacing back and forth in the conference hall, saying: "learning, we must learn, writing is the root of everything, all things only rely on word of mouth, it is inevitable that there will be errors, and even the phenomenon of transmitting errors by error, writing must be learned."
"If you want to learn writing, you have to go to Wangcheng!" The old beggar nodded and said, "the characters have already spread in the capital city, which is what the emperors of the five ethnic groups intend to do. Moreover, the characters have a tendency to spread to Hengcheng City, but it must take some time to spread to the capital city. If adults intend to spread the characters in the capital city earlier, they just need to arrange people to live in the capital city for a long time, and it won't take long to learn!"
"Can you read, sir?" Chen Hui asked at this time.
"I know a little bit." The old beggar nodded and said, "but I've been traveling for many years. Over the years, there are new characters agreed by the emperors of the five ethnic groups. I know very little of these characters, and they don't play a big role."
"No privacy, sir!" Chen Hui said in a deep voice: "even if you can't read much, you must start to popularize these words, so that all the people in the capital can read!"
"If my lord intends, I will not hide." Said the old beggar at once.
"The matter will be dealt with at once." Chen Hui said in a deep voice: "thank you, sir!"
After Peng and Jie came back, Chen Hui immediately told Peng and Jie about going to the imperial city to learn Chinese characters. He asked Peng and Jie to choose the right people to live in the Imperial City, and made a detailed plan. Every once in a while, he would go back to the capital city to teach the new characters to the capital city.
Although the capital city is not very rich, it can be done to arrange a person to live in the royal city for a period of time and learn writing.
Peng immediately selected a suitable person, that is, the first time hunting, hit the rabbit, nicknamed rabbit warrior guy.
This warrior is very young and has a strong memory, which is why he was chosen.
However, there is no need for him to start immediately, because the old beggar is literate. First, teach him the characters he knows. When he arrives at the king's city, he knows some characters.
Chen Hui's house began to be built on this day, and Chen Hui took the city Lord's mansion as a place for old beggars to teach, and the objects of teaching were the children in the capital.
Old beggars teach them characters and give them a task. After learning, when they come back home, they should teach their own adults the characters they have learned.
The rabbit warrior is learning with these children.
Pictograph is not difficult to learn, because it is quasi materialized. Although it is a little abstract, it is much easier to learn than modern Chinese characters. Some smart children can even say what a character is when they see the figure of a character close to the real object!
