The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 215 Chuanlu Interception ([-])

Ji Mingluan wanted to make Jia Min perfect, so he naturally had his own considerations.The main reason lies in this set of Chinese Pinyin scheme and compilation of dictionaries.

If we talk about the deeper reasons, it involves Luo Hanlin.

Ji Mingluan and Luo Hanlin were also at odds.Of course, the rift between them is from the past, and this has nothing to do with Jia Min.

Luo Hanlin often prides himself on the Wenzong of the World, and this is undoubtedly a high opinion of himself.

However, this does not mean that Luo Hanlin is an incompetent guy.At the very least, Luo Hanlin's ability to manage "Spring and Autumn" is enough to be proud of the world.Even Ji Mingluan admitted this point.

However, if we want to become Wenzong, it is not enough to treat only one "Spring and Autumn".Good poetry, books and scriptures are not enough.A heavier academic output is also required.

Chinese pinyin and dictionaries can bear this weight.This is a pioneering work that can be handed down to future generations.Among its weight, it is far from comparable to Luo Hanlinzhi's "Spring and Autumn".

Therefore, when he helped Jia Min, he was also helping himself.Ji Mingluan wanted the title of Emperor Wenzong of the world.

This is a win-win move.

For now, this Chinese Pinyin solution is a breakthrough to help Jia Min.

After the test results were released, Ji Mingluan's errands were basically done.The rest is to participate in the marking during the palace examination.

Just at this time, all the tributary envoys from the vassal state came, so Ji Mingluan took the initiative to ask for orders to accompany and receive these envoys.

An important itinerary for these envoys was to visit the bus carriages, so Ji Mingluan accompanied them.

A total of five envoys came, including their followers, a total of more than a dozen people.

Nan'er arranged six carriages, one for each envoy, plus Ji Mingluan, and the group set off on the road.

According to Ji Mingluan's arrangement, Jia Min was also recruited, so Jia Min introduced the situation.

There is indeed no one more suitable than Jia Min to introduce the bus and carriage.

Ji Mingluan recommended Jia Min in front of the envoys, and his intention was not limited to this.He has far-reaching considerations.

Today's Dade Dynasty, like most dynasties in history, also regards itself as a celestial kingdom, and the most important thing is its own dignity.

If you want to show your dignity, a very effective way is to show your majesty in front of those vassal states, so that they all come to submit and pay tribute.

Only in this way can it show the prosperous scene of the kingdom of heaven adding to the sea and all nations coming to court.

When the vassal states came to pay tribute, they always brought some gifts.Of course, their things will not be given away in vain. When they go back, the court will reward them.

In order to reflect the prosperity and prosperity of the Heavenly Kingdom, the rewards are very generous, and in many cases, they are far more than the gifts they pay.

Sometimes, some small countries and tribal forces in the surrounding area are obviously not vassal states and do not come to pay tribute, and the imperial court will take the initiative to give them some rewards and ask them to come to pay tribute.

Later, some people discovered the mystery and felt that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, so they all expressed themselves as ministers, or sent envoys, or the leaders came by themselves.

Seeing so many people coming to surrender, the imperial court felt good about themselves, thinking that they were all coming to submit to themselves, so they naturally rewarded them generously.

After a long time, even some foreign businessmen have figured out the way. Some pretended to be envoys from some country, and some made up random overseas countries. They also said that they came to pay tribute. .

In fact, they often succeed.

It was under this kind of atmosphere that a consensus was formed: as long as the foreigners agreed, it was good. The ministers were happy, and the emperor was also happy. He thought that everything would be fine for him.

Ji Mingluan's purpose was to establish Jia Min's image among these foreign envoys, so that they could speak well for Jia Min in front of the emperor.

What foreigners say is much better than what our own people say.

Jia Min introduced the details of the bus and carriage one by one, and he didn't even hide the secret of how to make money.

After walking around for two hours, they went back to the post house together.

Since we were already familiar with each other, we sat down and drank tea together.Jia Min chatted casually with the envoys, while Ji Mingluan took out the Chinese pinyin scheme, and seemed to be looking at it casually.

His purpose is to draw the attention of envoys to Chinese Pinyin.

It was very difficult for people in the Dade Dynasty to learn to read and write.It is even more difficult for these foreigners to learn Chinese characters.If they come here this time, they can bring back a set of methods to quickly learn men, which will undoubtedly be a great achievement.

If they asked the emperor to learn Chinese Pinyin, with the showy temperament of the Dade Dynasty, he would definitely teach them happily.This was done as a major event to educate the barbarians.This can better reflect the dignity of the court than rewarding some things.

At this time, Jia Min, as the inventor of this plan, was born in front of the emperor.

Having made the emperor look good in front of foreigners, the perception of Jia Min will naturally be greatly changed.

Seeing that Ji Mingluan was looking at something, the Siamese envoy came over.

"Master Ji, what kind of writing are you writing?"

Seeing that someone asked, Ji Mingluan gave Jia Min a smug smile and thought: Sure enough, someone has taken the bait.

"This is a new set of literacy skills for me. With this method of literacy, one year is equivalent to the original three years. As long as I learn it for one month, I can recognize more than 1000 characters."

"Master Ji, no way, how can there be such a quick way?"

"Would I still lie to you? Just ask Brother Jia, he invented this set of literacy skills. How many people have used it, and they all say it works."

"Has anyone already used it?"

"Someone is using it now. It's too late today, otherwise, I'll take you to have a look. When you get there, you'll understand it at a glance."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, we can go and have a look."

So the Siamese envoy discussed with other people, and finally agreed, and wanted to see the situation in use.

Seeing that the time was right, Ji Mingluan and Jia Min led the envoys out of the city to Liujiazhuang.

Tong Xiucai was presiding over the enlightenment class here in Liujiazhuang, and when he heard about his intention, he began to introduce the situation to the envoys.After the general situation was introduced, they were asked to ask the children casually for questioning.

After staying in Liujiazhuang for nearly half an hour, it was almost noon, so he walked back, and when passing by Yeduju, Jia Min invited the envoys to have dinner here.

After entering the yard, I visited around first, so I went to the playground.The soldiers were training, so Jia Min told the envoys that the soldiers here were also literate in Chinese Pinyin, and they could ask anyone they wanted.

The envoys learned some things in Liujiazhuang, but they still had some doubts in their hearts. Given this opportunity to learn more about it, they naturally didn't want to let it go.

After a few people muttered together for a while, they went to ask the soldiers separately.

Jia Min had already told the soldiers to tell the truth, so the soldiers answered truthfully.

It was more than half an hour, over there called for dinner, and it was over.

However, all the envoys were very excited, obviously believing what Ji Mingluan said.

The envoys were even more surprised when they heard that Jia Min was still the head of the military regiment here.

On the way to the dining hall, several envoys deliberately lagged behind and muttered together, obviously discussing something.

Sure enough, as soon as they sat down in the dining hall, the envoys began to flatter Jia Min.

"Head Jia is worthy of both civil and military skills, and he will have a bright future in the future."

The Siamese envoys were the first to start pouring ecstasy soup.

"Not only is he capable of both civil and military skills, but he is also a business genius."

The Cochin envoys were not far behind.

"I heard that Captain Jia is still a poetic genius, it's really admirable, admirable."

"Yeah, I've heard about it too. Can Captain Jia compose a poem for us to see and appreciate the elegance of the Heavenly Kingdom?"

Naturally, Jia Min would not be polite at this time. He pretended to meditate for a while, and then recited the song "Long Lovesickness" that he had taken in the provincial examination.Then he asked Ping'er to bring a pen and paper, and Master Ji wrote it out.

The words are wonderful and good, and Master Ji is a famous calligrapher in the world. Several envoys wanted them all. There was no way, Master Ji wrote four more copies, and each of the five envoys got a share. Everyone was happy.

"Chief Jia, we all admire the Chinese Empire very much. Can you teach us this Chinese Pinyin scheme? If we bring it back and teach people how to read, we can better educate the people, so that remote countries like us can also learn to read. Like the Celestial Dynasty, it has become the hometown of poetry and etiquette."

"Well, this..., Master Ji, look..."

Jia Min pretended to be embarrassed.

"This, to tell you the truth, it's not easy for us to decide on this matter. If you really want to learn, you may as well report to the Holy Majesty, and ask the Holy Majesty to reward you with this set of literacy methods. The Holy Majesty is generous and merciful, and perhaps he will allow you."

"That's right, it's just two days later. I'm going to observe the Jinke Martial Arts Examination, and then I'll beg the Holy One. If the Holy One agrees, I'd like to ask Captain Jia to give me some advice."

"That's natural."

During this meal, the guests and the host had a good time, and everyone got what they wanted.

After dinner, several envoys wanted to find out about the situation with the soldiers, so Jia Min just let them go.

On the other hand, I walked casually in Yeduju with Bachelor Ji.

Looking at the changes in Yeduju, Ji Mingluan was not only filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect that you and I would have such a fate when we met at the beginning. Could it be God's will?"

"It's all thanks to my mentor."

"At the beginning, I handed over the house to you. It was just a thought. In the end, it was your own hard work that made it what it is today. In such a short period of time, it is amazing to have such an achievement."

"The teacher has won the prize."

"You don't have to pay too much attention to the palace examination. You can make such an achievement when you are free, and it's even more so if you have a Jinshi background."

"With fame, there should be a nickname, and it's more convenient to call it."

Jia Min understood that Master Ji wanted to name him.

"I've wanted to ask my mentor to give me one for a long time, but I never had the chance."

"Your future is limitless, so let's call you Huaiyuan."

Huaiyuan?Jia Min Jia Huaiyuan?Yes, Not Bad.
