Chu Qing didn't care at all about what happened in Beijing.
He did know that the so-called great scholars, celebrities, vice-deans, and beasts of the Zhuan family in the capital were criticizing him. He also knew that Xu Xiaopao and his grandfather also went to the capital to file a complaint, but he still didn't care.
Because he paid two hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars in protection fees, and Huang Laosi collected the money, so he had to settle these messy things.
The only things Chu Qing cares about are the borders, the grasslands, and the birthday of the Golden Wolf King Khan, which is also the birthday of this old bastard.
Lao Ma and his old friends had just left and had just discussed the birthday of the Golden Wolf King Khan.
At this time of year, caravans are not allowed to leave the customs. Of course, no one dares to leave the customs now.
But when it comes to the period around June, because the grassland leaders are celebrating their birthdays, the tribes start to organize flowers. They rob the caravans and send them to the Golden Wolf King's tent as birthday gifts. They can't grab anything.
For valuable things, take the heads of Han people to congratulate you. There are also more ruthless ones who go under the wall to show off their power. If they can shoot some frontier archers to death, they will definitely be praised by the Golden Wolf King Khan.
The purpose of Ma Rujing's meeting was to get all the soldiers who had gone to work back to the major camps to strengthen defenses. This would last for about a month.
Chu Qing didn't have any objections and was prepared for any trouble. He did this every year.
But there was no objection on his lips, but his heart was full of anger.
On your birthday, you want to rob us and kill us. What's the point?
Everyone was familiar with Chu Qing, and when he saw the guy's frown, he knew that he must be unhappy.
Everyone was angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Without the help of the military, many things would have to change plans, and everyone reported on their work one by one.
After talking about the solutions respectively, as usual, everyone mentioned the difficulties they are currently encountering.
Tao Weiran said slightly helplessly: "Water sources, many wells are dry. General Tong has been leading people to dig wells. It can be said that there is not much progress."
"How can it be that there is not much progress?" Tong Gui was unhappy and corrected: "It can only be said that there is nothing."
Tao Weiran: “…”
Chu Qing asked: "Over there at Rui Shi camp, aren't Lao Yang and Lao Niu also digging wells with their sergeants? Have they gained anything?"
Fatty Tao shook his head.
The water source problem is very serious and has always been a problem. In previous years, no major construction work was involved. Although it was difficult, it did not have much impact.
But now a large number of people are working. Whether it is drinking water or civil engineering, the water demand has increased several times. If this problem is not solved, many things will have to be put on hold, including many workshops, especially paper-making workshops, which require a large amount of purified water.
.
"Organize more manpower and dig where there are trees. Send more manpower to dig in the border mountains and forests. If you dig deeper, there will definitely be water."
Chu Qing was a little distracted. He couldn't solve this problem. There must be groundwater in the border mountain forest area, but it was too far from Wangyuan City and the cost of transportation was too high.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Chu Qing looked at Cuiyu: "What's wrong with the papermaking workshop? Are there any difficulties?"
"We can make paper in ten days."
"Oh, let's make paper and print books at the same time."
"Publish a book?"
"Yes, dictionary, yes, let's popularize Pinyin too. In a few days I will teach you Pinyin and popularize Pinyin."
Cuiyu asked uncertainly: "I don't understand the pinyin, but the dictionary you are talking about is "Shi Zhou Pian" or "Shuowen Jiezi"?"
The so-called "Shi Zhou Pian" was written by Shi Zhou, the Taishi of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. It used four character rhymes to compile an enlightenment reading book, which can be said to be the prototype of the dictionary. "Shuowen Jiezi" was compiled by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
, the book has a total of fifteen chapters and contains more than 10,000 words, which are completely arranged according to the physical radical structure. It can be said to be one of the oldest calligraphy books in the world.
"That's more or less what it means." Chu Qing said with a serious look on his face: "Don't miss a single word, and compile everything that comes to mind, especially the word '倭' for Japanese pirates."
"Japanese?"
"That's what Ying thief means."
Chu Qing sighed. This was his helplessness as a time traveler. Many things could not be explained clearly.
For example, the Xinhua Dictionary of later generations is such an authoritative dictionary. You can find every word and phrase you can think of. Unfortunately, it is only in the old version.
The new version of the Xinhua Dictionary does not have the word "Japanese pirates" anymore. The old version does, but the new version does not.
Chu Qing believes that Xinhua Dictionary is not only a dictionary, but also a history.
In the old version of Xinhua Dictionary, the word "Japanese pirates" is defined as a Japanese pirate group that carried out armed plunder on the coastal areas of Japan from the 14th to 16th centuries.
It is clearly explained above that Japanese pirates refer to Japanese samurai, ronai and unscrupulous traders who have indeed carried out piracy activities on the coast of Japan since the fourth century. They colluded with our country's wealthy people, landlords and profiteers, and used coastal islands as their nests to engage in armed smuggling.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rob, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirate activities became more rampant. The explanation is very detailed and clear. There are also explanations for Qi Jiguang's bloody battle more than ten years ago when he formed a new army, and finally eliminated the Japanese pirates, etc.
One word, "Japanese pirates", represents a bloody history, and when people see this word, they know the history, are curious about the history, consult more detailed information, understand the ancestors, understand the heroes, inspire themselves, and pay attention to the enemy, but
What now?
Now some new editions of Xinhua dictionaries actually don’t have this word!
How bold is it to directly delete the word "Japanese pirates" from the Chinese library? It takes ten years to grow trees and half a year to grow people. What is the difference between this and tampering with history?
So after more than ten years, decades, or a hundred years, how many words will disappear, how much history will disappear, how much history will be tampered with, and how much history will be forgotten?
Just like the anti-Japanese drama, this is no longer entertainment first, but entertainment to death!
"What the hell do you have the right to delete history, fuck!"
Chu Qing cursed secretly, looked at Cuiyu, and said seriously: "After it is compiled into a book, I want to read it word by word."
Cuttlefish nodded: "Okay."
Chu Qing glanced at everyone: "Does anyone else have anything else to do? If not, just go and get busy."
No one said anything, but no one left either.
Chu Qing laughed dumbly: "What are you doing here? Why don't you leave?"
"Master Chu."
Changxian asked weakly: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, why do you ask that?"
"Student, I think you frowned and felt unhappy after listening to Ma Shuai talk about Liangrong Khan's birthday."
Lu Zhu poured a cup of tea for Chu Qing: "I also noticed it."
Everyone nodded and saw it.
"Yes, I am indeed in a bad mood. Lao Niu said that it has been going on for decades. Ever since Lao Deng became the Great Khan of the Golden Wolf King, he would show off his power every year on his birthday. The tribes would either plunder or kill people."
Tao Shaozhang looked excited and said sternly: "Then rush out of the gate, take advantage of his birthday, raid the Liang people, comfort the hero's soul, and heal the enemy in return, so that this old thief will never dare to live like this again..."
Tao Shaozhang slapped the table: "Birthday!"
There was complete silence in the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion.
After a while, Fu San looked at Tao Shaozhang with a strange expression: "Master Tao, have you... eaten anything unclean recently?"
