My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1206 No way, no way? You haven't killed all the rebels yet? The Great Qin Pinyin is published!
Some ministers who advocated human sacrifice looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chang'an Jun is a rare god who has descended to the earth throughout history, and he is favored by the heavens and the earth. What Chang'an Jun said must be true. If Chang'an Jun strongly opposes human sacrifice, then the righteous gods must also hate human sacrifice.

They advocated burying living people with the dead so that they could continue to enjoy wealth and be served after death. However, if the gods of heaven and earth would punish them for this, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

No one would betray their own interests, and no one likes to be held accountable by Ying Zheng during their lifetime and punished by Hou Tu after their death.

As if to prove their innocence, the court officials rushed to bow and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"I second the proposal!"

An issue that had been debated for a long time without reaching a consensus was easily resolved. Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile at Ying Chengjiao, and quickly moved on to the next issue while the iron was hot: "As for the scales, rulers, and words, they are all important matters concerning the country, and they should all be unified!"

"My dear friends, do you have any good advice?"

Li Si immediately stepped out of the group and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Chang'an Jun has built Qin Wangzheng's 15-style blast furnace, which has caused a surge in the iron materials of our Great Qin. Even if we increase the iron materials, it is not a burden that our Great Qin cannot bear."

"I advise that we use the 15-style blast furnace of King Zheng of Qin to make scales and weights, and distribute them to counties, towns, villages and markets, and order the law officials to use our Great Qin scales and weights as the standard when collecting taxes and distributing salaries, and teach the subjects to recognize our Great Qin scales and weights."

"This matter concerns the interests of the people of Great Qin. The people of Great Qin will take the initiative to understand it. As long as time passes, the whole of Great Qin will be able to use a unified standard!"

"As for the issue of writing the same script, I think Chang'an Jun's plan is very good."

"Today, all those who can read and write have begun to actively learn the characters of our Great Qin. With time, the whole of our Great Qin will be able to write the same characters. There is no need for us to look for other strategies!"

Lu Buwei immediately shook his head: "I think that when this policy is implemented, local officials and dignitaries will definitely profit from it, or it may cause chaos!"

"I advise you again. Our Great Qin should first improve its internal affairs and pacify the eight directions before implementing this strategy."

The unification of weights and measures itself would not cause unrest, but once the rules concerning interests changed, there would certainly be ambitious people trying to profit from it, and once the subjects suffered losses as a result, unrest would likely arise.

If peace prevails and people are loyal to Qin, the number of ambitious people will decrease, the people will be more tolerant of oppression and exploitation, and the unrest will naturally decrease.

But now that the Qin State is just beginning to stabilize and people's hearts are in turmoil, there will certainly be a lot of ambitious people, and the subjects will not tolerate oppression and exploitation just because they are loyal to the Qin State, so the unrest caused will naturally be a lot more.

How could Lu Buwei not be worried?

Ying Chengjiao looked surprised and said, "Unless it is too late, I will deliberately slaughter the people and nobles when I attack and destroy an enemy country."

"When I attacked Qi, I really had no reason to kill so many people. Afterwards, I went to Qi and killed many people."

"I thought there were not many disobedient people left alive, right?"

"To this day, you colleagues have still not been able to kill all the rebellious people in Kanto!"

"If so, I will not hesitate to put on my armor again!"

Ying Chengjiao's words silenced all the ministers.

Your killing power can't be so great!
How can you govern like this?!
But the ministers had to admit that it was easy to govern the territory that had been plowed once by Ying Chengjiao.

Some court officials even had a bold idea in their minds. They could use the issue of unification to lure out the disloyalty of Guandong, and then let Chang'an Jun lead his troops out of the pass to give them another try. This was not a bad idea!
Ying Zheng said distressedly: "My brother must be tired after ten years of hard fighting. He deserves a good rest. I will leave these trivial matters to the ministers in the court to handle."

"Lord Li, do you have any good advice for the unification of Yan?"

Li Si helplessly folded his hands and said: "I am young and ignorant, and I have no good advice on the matter!" Ying Zheng felt a little regretful, but still nodded and said: "In that case..."

Before Ying Zheng could finish, Ying Chengjiao suddenly spoke up: "As for Yan Yitong, I do have some opinions."

Ying Zheng asked in surprise: "Does my brother have a good plan for unification?"

Li Si was surprised: "Chang'an Jun actually has good advice on Yan Yitong!"

Lu Buwei suddenly became alert: "I think that unification is not a major national event that must be done, and there is no need to spend national strength to unify it!"

All the ministers were surprised!

The texts on scales, weights, and rulers can be transformed into things that can be seen and touched by the naked eye. They can be written on paper, smelted into iron weights, and made into iron rulers so that people thousands of miles away can also get an intuitive feeling.

But language cannot be preserved on bamboo slips, nor can it be transmitted hundreds of miles away. Instead, it needs to be passed on by word of mouth. The difficulty of promoting it is incomparable with the difficulty of writing on scales, rulers and meters!

Apart from using human wave tactics to teach and then using law enforcement officials to supervise, the ministers could not think of any other way to achieve language unification.

Ying Chengjiao did not reply immediately, but walked towards Ying Zheng, sat down beside him, and stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, can I borrow a pen and paper?"

Ying Zheng immediately stood up and said, "Brother, please grind ink for me!"

Many scholars dream of seeing a man in green clothes holding an inkstone and urging them to finish their papers.

But today, Ying Zheng, as a king, took the initiative, and could even be said to be impatient to hold the inkstone for Ying Chengjiao to urge him to finish his paper!
Under Ying Zheng's eager gaze, Ying Chengjiao wrote on the silk, symbols that Ying Zheng could not understand at all.

After a while, when Ying Chengjiao stopped writing, Ying Zheng could no longer wait to ask, "Is what my brother wrote a sacrificial text?"

Ying Chengjiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can this be a sacrificial text? It's just some symbols I drew casually."

"But I have given each symbol a sound. I think this strategy can help people understand the meaning of words!"

The ink stains on the silk cloth that had not yet dried were actually a pinyin table!

All the symbols on this pinyin table were extremely unfamiliar to Ying Zheng, so he could not help but regard it as a sacrificial text.

Waving his hands for his officials to come forward, Ying Chengjiao picked up a wooden stick and pointed it at the silk, introducing: "I divide the sounds of the world into three parts, including 23 initial consonants, 24 finals, 16 whole sounds, and 4 tones."

“The combination of two sounds and rhymes can produce a tone by using the pitch to determine the tone, while the whole tone does not need to be combined, it can be determined by directly matching the pitch.”

"For example, Qin, you can take the initial consonant q, the final vowel in, and then determine the second tone, and read it together to get - qín!"

As he spoke, Ying Chengjiao pointed at each pinyin with a wooden stick, pronounced the correct pronunciation of each pinyin in a clear and loud voice, and then bowed to the ministers and said: "I am not familiar with government affairs, so there may be omissions in my thinking."

"I don't know if these 63 sounds can cover my Qinqiang, but I think they can at least cover most of it. If you colleagues think there are omissions, you can make adjustments to this pinyin table."

Ying Chengjiao smiled and looked at Ying Zheng and said, "As long as we can get the help of the ministers, we can perfect the Great Qin Pinyin System."

"I think that the Great Qin Pinyin System may help you unify the world!"
