Chapter 488 Mandarin

In the winery where the stove was growing, Li Mi and two followers drank Anxi Shaochun, who were drinking water, listened to the discussions of the people in Wuwei City around him, and looked surprised.

Li Mi went to Anxi with Du Fu and the others at the beginning of the year. He first went to Kucha, then to Yanqi, and finally arrived at Huoshao City, and then stayed there for three months. Originally, he was back to Liangzhou with Laiqi, but he was not as strong as Laiqi who had been running around all year round, so he was dumped after arriving at Yumen Pass.

"I heard that those Hu merchants can no longer hold on, and many guilds have already planned to bow their heads to Guo Jun..."

For the people of Wuwei City, this winter is probably the most lively winter they have ever seen in their lives. The first time they saw the Hu merchants who occupied almost half of the city's population and had always been in business were overwhelmed.

"Money Gang, is it interesting?"

Li Mi held the wine glass and laughed while drinking. He went to Anxi in person to see if Chen Lang lied to him and whether Anxi was enough to become the second Guanzhong, which could allow the Tang Dynasty to rebuild the military system and solve the problem of Guanzhong's growing population or refugees.

Yanqi and Kucha had submitted a letter to the court to request the change of land and return to the current. The kings of both countries also received new titles in Chang'an City. In fact, these two countries already belonged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Before leaving the desert, Li Mi once thought that the vast yellow sand and the Gobi Desert were the whole of Anxi. He once thought that he had been deceived.

But when he saw the plains, basins and vast lakes at the foot of the snow-capped mountains in Yanqi and Kucha, he realized that he was outrageously wrong. Anxi did have the fertile land needed to become the second Guanzhong. Except for the distance was too far, he could not find any shortcomings.

As Chen Lang said, although the Tang Dynasty was large, no inch of land was unnecessary. The vast and magnificent rivers and mountains in Anxi made Li Mi feel like he had been baptized. When he was in the Eastern Palace, he used to only help the prince deal with Li Linfu's persecution. He did not have a clear idea of ​​how to assist the prince in governing the country in the future, but now he has it.

Although Chen Lang did not like him, when they talked between the two, when they asked for advice humbly, Chen Lang never concealed or hid his own personal information. He knew that Chen Lang did not like Confucianism and believed that since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been deteriorating. Later, Confucianism became a lowly Confucian Confucian Confucian, but in governing the country, he was just a Confucian ruler, and there was no real thing.

So in the public school where Li Mi saw, both Hu people and slaves could go to school to seek advice, and women could also read and read rituals. The courses in the school were more of practical knowledge. Of course, what surprised Li Mi the most was the course called Mandarin. The first lesson was called "My Motherland", which introduced the territory, population, economy and culture of the Tang Dynasty, and almost praised it.

And those students in class, whether they are Han people in Anxi, Kucha people, Yanqi people, Turks, Tiel people, Sogdians, Persians, or other Hu people who cannot be named, almost always have a strong sense of identity after taking this class, thinking that they are a Tang people. Even if they are not now, they will definitely be in the future.

Li Mi read the course of "Mandarin" almost trembled. Although it was only dozens of translations of vernacular and classical Chinese compiled by Chen Lang, the things that diverge and extend in the lesson plan almost included the great etiquette and beauty of the Chinese seal. At the same time, there was also a collection of classics, history, and literature. Although it looked fragmentary, one article in the east, one article in the west, he had to admit that this kind of textbook was obviously easier to educate those people.

Compared to those common scholars, perhaps Chen Lang is the real great scholar. Li Mi believed so from the bottom of his heart. He even included several copies of this set of "Mandarin" textbooks, thinking that they could be promoted and implemented in Fanyang, Pinglu, Youyan and other places, which is much more practical than teaching those classics.

If the only thing that makes Li Mi regret is that except for the original texts quoted in Mandarin, the rest of the texts in Mandarin are too shallow vernacular, which makes Li Mi, who has been known as a child prodigy since childhood, is very sad. However, he also agrees with the views of Du Fu, Yan Zhenqing, Gao Shi and others. Even they can't change the word "Mandarin" because this is a classic that can truly allow the Guizhou people and even the Hu people and barbarians to learn.

Having seen those Hu people who could not speak Tang Yan for half a year ago, proudly told the etiquette and clothing seals of China with a crappy accent, and wishing they could be born in the Tang Dynasty. Li Mi understood that this was the real education!

Li Mi originally had a lot of thoughts to communicate with Shen Guang, but when he came to Wuwei City and listened to the discussions on the streets and alleys, he was surprised again. The Jingdong Mall was definitely the method of this Chen Lang.

Although he only knew what happened during this period from the words of the street passers-by and the drinkers in the restaurant, Li Mi was still impressed. Since the Tang Dynasty prevailed in the Western Regions during the Zhenguan period and then arrived at the foundation of the four towns of Anxi, the Silk Road has become prosperous over the past hundred years with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. However, even if the western market of Chang'an City can buy rare treasures from all countries, it seems that merchants from the whole world gathered here, the Tang Dynasty did not get the greatest benefits from the trade of the Silk Road.

Originally, Li Mi didn't care about this matter. Like most officials, he believed that the Tang Dynasty was rich in resources and how could those barbaric lands be compared with the Tang Dynasty. However, it was not until he went to Anxi personally, saw the Dashi Shang and Persian Shang in Yancheng, and knew the Sogdian city-state in the river and the wealth of the small countries in India that he knew how amazing the wealth the Tang Dynasty missed was.

The Silk Road should have become an important source of wealth for the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world. What is the annual military expenditure of more than 10 million yuan in the Ten Jiedu of Tianbao? As long as the industries of Chen Lang's fire city flourish, it will be enough to support the entire Anxi Protectorate.

The Tang people should go thousands of miles away to do business, rather than waiting for the Hu people to come to the Tang Dynasty to do business!

Li Mi changed from the original position of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce to a firm trade faction in just three months. He participated in the formulation of trade rules and regulations in the West City in Huoshaocheng, but he was also afraid of the already deeply rooted Hushang Group. He even thought about asking Chen Lang how to solve this problem, but he never expected Chen Lang to start taking action.

"Master, where are we going next?"

"Go directly to visit Chen Lang, maybe Chen Lang will let me serve him."
