"Master Song thought it was to simplify the writing of Chinese characters, or to write Chinese characters in the Han area easily?" Wulutus did not answer positively, but asked back.

It is also impossible for him to say that he came from later generations, and what he learned was to simplify Chinese characters. If he didn't promote this, would he promote traditional Chinese characters that he had never learned at all?

"Of course, it is convenient for simplified Chinese characters passed down by the prince. But I think that Chinese characters have been passed down for thousands of years and have their own meaning and background. If the prince changes them easily, wouldn't it be that they have lost their true inheritance?" Song Defang finished speaking cautiously, and saw that Ulutus showed no sign of being angry, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Yan people on the grassland had contempt for them, the weak Han people. Even if there was the Han Empire, which was once the great Han Empire, the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu, the Tang Empire hundreds of years ago was recently. However, there was the Song Dynasty, which gave the small tribes outside the pass a weak image since the annual tribute. There was also the Jingkang shame when the Jin Dynasty invaded the south a hundred years ago, and the image of the Han people in Song could no longer get rid of the weak stereotype.

Although he was not a slave, he was used to seeing the Han slaves who were caught on the grassland. He also knew that in the eyes of these Mongolians, he was actually the lowest and humble existence.

Now that I have refuted the noble prince like this, it is considered an offense.

"What the Taoist priest said is true! This king does not mean to simplify Chinese characters, but in my opinion, the true meaning of the characters should be dissemination and education, not just form." Speaking of this, Ulutus thought of the role of simplifying Chinese characters in the national literacy movement in the later generations. The doubts faced by the decision makers at that time must be even more serious.

He then continued: "Now the Mongolian land emphasizes martial arts and neglects education. The spread of Chinese characters does not focus on their form, but on their effectiveness of education. The Chinese characters in the Han land are numerous and it takes a lot of effort to write. In the grassland where martial arts and education is difficult to be easy, it is a major disadvantage. Therefore, this king has to simplify it so that the herdsmen in this department know what is the heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers, and what is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

"The prince is far-sighted, but I am not careful!" After hearing Ulutus's words, Song Defang still disagreed with it, but he could not explain the reason for refuting it. So he praised it dryly and wanted to change the topic.

However, Wulutus was aroused of interest and then asked: "As a Han Chinese, did Master Song ever wonder why the Han Chinese became a member of cattle, sheep and other livestock on the grassland?"

This is a heart-killing sentence!

Even though Ulutus was a noble prince, Song Defang couldn't help but lower his face and said, "Although I am an alien, I don't care about the world and have a weak temperament. However, when the prince belittles the Han people this time, I will not be bored and leave."

But before leaving, Song Defang said again: "It is only the prince that I know that my master is also a Han Chinese. But he was summoned by His Majesty the Mongolian Emperor and his status is noble. Therefore, what the prince said about Han slaves and cattle and sheep cannot be generalized, and he thought that Han people were all equivalent to cattle and sheep."

"Master, don't be ashamed and annoyed! I am not belittling the Han people, but sad!" As he said, Wulutus' tone became quiet and said: "My mother was a Han slave, so I was also humiliated since I was a child. Later, I read the Han classics and found out that the Han Dynasty had also included the grasslands, and the Han generals also mentioned the words in Juxu Mountain.

At that time, the Han people went to and from the grassland, probably they were not currently in line with cattle and sheep?

Therefore, I am often confused. What is the difference between the Han people at that time and the Han people today? Why did they live like cattle and sheep in the grassland at that time? Later, after reading more classics from the Han people in the south, I realized that the inheritance of the Han people has always been there. Even if the Song Kingdom is in peace in the south of the Yangtze River, the inheritance of the Han people has always developed.

But compared with the former Han people, there are fewer things."

"What is it?" Song Defang blurted out subconsciously.

Hunur, who had been listening carefully, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Is it a powerful force?" After the Zhongdu Incident, Hunur, who was plundered from the palace to the grassland as a slave, was particularly impressed by the force of the Mongols at that time.

"No, it's the backbone!" Wulutus said: "The inheritance of the Han family only focuses on its form, like the characters, like the Confucius family's theories, like the etiquette. The true backbone has long been lost. Therefore, those who are willing to be slaves and maids, and those who are superiors only know how to pass on their form and lose their intentions. Therefore, the Jin Dynasty has been in the past century, and its country has been overthrown, and its demise has only been destroyed in a daze."

As Jin people, Hunur and Song Defang both had a deep understanding of this. In their impression, the invincible existence of the Jin Jurchens. But when they met the Mongols, they were like sick tigers, and were beaten to the point of death.

However, the Chineseization was an important reason why the Jin Dynasty was weak and could not be ignored.

Once upon a time, the Jurchens were just savages who came out of the forest. They didn’t know what life and death were, and they were invincible when fighting. After entering the Han area for a hundred years, they also learned to recite poems and write pairs, drink and enjoy the moon.

However, the riding and shooting art that they used to be used to was abandoned like a piece of clothing.

Now when facing the Mongols, they only know how to be humble, but in the end they will inevitably lose their country. As for the Han people, they are originally slaves of the Jurchens. Now the masters of the Han area have been replaced by Mongols, and the Han people who are used to being slaves are also used to waving their tails to beg for mercy to the strong.

Thinking of this, both Hunur and Song Defang inevitably arise a kind of sadness that comes from their bloodlines.

It was a nostalgia for the once glorious past of the Han people and a lament for the present line with cattle and sheep.

"I am not a Han Chinese, but I want to inherit the backbone of the Han Chinese. Moreover, my mother's family is a Han Chinese, so I don't want to see Han Chinese like cattle and sheep. Now, the simplified Chinese characters are also to make the Han Chinese inheritance wider. Leave a little thoughts of the Han Chinese on the grassland." Wulutus said hesitantly, and he didn't know whether he would succeed. But if he did nothing, he knew that he would not have the possibility of success.

"The king - the prince attaches so much importance to the Han people, it is a blessing for slaves!" Hunur couldn't help crying when he heard this and said in a choked tone.

Song Defang was also shocked, so he gave a great gift to Ulutus. His expression was solemn, and he expressed his gratitude to Ulutus as a Han Chinese.

Then Song Defang also told Ulutus about his purpose, but was blocked by Ulutus's words "kill to stop killing". Moreover, after Ulutus' analysis of the situation of the Han people, Song Defang also felt that it was impossible for him to truly win respect by relying solely on his verbal skills.

So he just mentioned it and stopped persuading it. However, during his communication with Song Defang, Ulutus unexpectedly found that the other party seemed to have a good understanding of the fire tube. This was actually quite in common with Taoist alchemy techniques.

Ulutus has now really developed a love for talent.
