When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

The next day, after the letter was sent, Long Wei came again.

At the same time, some young men in clerk robes came with him: "You all have just arrived, and it will take some time for you to understand the customs and habits of our Yan State, so as to reduce unnecessary conflicts.

Therefore, the Sikou Mansion has arranged a course on the laws of our Yan State to teach you here."

"Is it necessary?" One noble frowned and asked, "We are not from here. We will go back in a few days."

"Of course it is necessary." Long Wei looked at them and said with a smile, "The strength of our Yan State is all due to Beibo and Sikou Huo writing this volume of Yan Law, which covers all aspects of the lives of our Yan subjects and allows us to work together. Don't you want to know the mystery here?"

Upon hearing this, no matter how disgusted they were, the nobles all showed curious expressions.

Many of them had their own fiefs and estates, but when it came to managing their fiefs and estates, they were often in a mess.

The State of Yan was able to implement its policies in all aspects. Isn’t this worth learning from?

With this kind of thinking, everyone will not resist much.

Long Wei nodded to the people behind him and asked them to distribute the "dictionary".

"This is a dictionary. It contains three types of characters: oracle bone script, seal script, and official script. The oracle bone script is the common characters you carve on tortoise shells. The seal script is used by us in Yan to write on monuments, sacrifices, and flags. The official script is the language that all Yan people and slaves must learn. It is a language specifically used for official documents and conveying government orders."

Long Wei explained.

In recent years, the seal script that Xin Qu compiled based on the oracle bone inscriptions is actually no longer useful. After all, he himself prefers to use official script, regular script, running script and cursive script, and rarely uses seal script.

However, in order to ensure that the evolution of characters was recorded, Xinqu came up with an idea to use seal script exclusively for inscriptions, sacrificial texts, and flags to replace totems.

Seal script became the aristocratic writing system used by the upper class.

After all, seal script is still very beautiful. It is so beautiful when it is rubbed after the seal is engraved.

Therefore, the first thing the upper and middle classes of Yan State did after entering school was to learn dictionaries of three languages.

After opening the dictionary and taking a quick look at it, Zisong's expression became even more serious.

Exactly the same paper, exactly the same text, not only is it very neat, it even has Mandarin pinyin.

These officials began to teach them pinyin, and then compared them with the text. With the ability of aristocrats, as long as they were not fools, they basically mastered the pronunciation of the Yan State's characters quickly.

Next is to learn grammar rules.

Xin Qu adjusted the official language of the entire Yan State. After all, Yan State was formed by the mixture of multiple ethnic groups, and each family had its own language, which led to the emergence of various language tones: isolating languages, inflectional languages, agglutinative languages, polysynthetic languages, and everything else.

For this reason, Xin Qu learned from his ancestors and directly adopted isolating languages. After all, they all had written languages, and one character was a word. He then added annotations to the characters and used word formation to expand the dictionary.

Therefore, the initial learning of characters is not difficult, especially for the business aristocracy.

By comparing with the dictionary, they could easily know which seal script or clerical script the oracle bone inscriptions they used in Yan State corresponded to. Then, if they mastered the classical Chinese writing style of Yan State, they would be able to master it quickly.

There is no other way because it is written in classical Chinese. Whether it is bamboo slips or paper, the price was not low before mass production. If classical Chinese is not used, the consumption of educational resources will be too great.

As for classical Chinese, it also evolved from oracle inscriptions on oracle bones. In less than seven days, these people had mastered it.

Some people even started writing poetry, and through Long Wei, they came into contact with divination.

The exquisiteness and magic of Liu Yao divination made many nobles addicted to it.

Even Zisong is one of the best.

……

And so, another month passed.

Xin Qu met Zisong.

Along with him was a bright young girl, who was looking at him curiously. "Bei Bo." Zisong bowed to Xin Qu, who was in the upper position.

Xin Qu smiled, stood up, walked down and bowed, saying, "You are too polite, Prince."

Zisong responded, and then said to the girl beside him: "Yuyangzi, this is Beibo. Beibo, this is the daughter of Su, and also the daughter of the Zi clan."

Su family?

Xin Qu thought about it and realized that in later times, there existed a state of Gong clan near Pingyin County.

"Uncle Bei." Yu Yangzi called tenderly, her eyes moving around, with a certain grace.

Xin Qu smiled gently, then gestured to the two of them and said, "Please."

The two sat down separately.

Yu Yangzi looked at the table in front of her curiously. Although the Su family also had many tables and chairs, none of them were of the same quality as those of Xin Qu.

In terms of shape, Xin Qu's wooden chairs are all high-end relief engravings and lacquered. The simple and heavy feeling of the chairs is really shocking to look at.

What followed was singing and dancing, with beautiful women in the air. The singers trained by Xinqu were quite special, and many of the Shang nobles who were present at the banquet were staring in amazement.

The graceful figure, the swaying ribbons, the seductive eyes, all natural and charming, are alluring and alluring.

A large drum with a lotus pattern carved on it was carried up, and a beautiful woman leading the dance leaped on it. Every step she took was in rhythm with the music. The song was beautiful, the dance was beautiful, and the woman was even more beautiful.

For the Shang nobles who had always been engaged in brutal wars and the horrific art of blood sacrifice, how could they have ever tasted the fine bran before them?

Dull! Dull! Still dull!

My eyes were straight.

Yu Yangzi also watched the singing and dancing in front of her nervously, and glanced at Xin Qu from time to time.

Xin Qu clapped his hands, his smile still gentle, but his eyes were like a hawk, quickly taking in all the actions of everyone below, and of course he also saw Yu Yangzi's expression.

He looked at her, met her gaze, and smiled.

Yu Yangzi's pretty face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head, or looked at the beauty on the drum, pretending to be very busy.

After the song, beauties came down from the table to help them pour wine, but of course some people were not honest.

At first, these beauties endured it, until a pig brother started to kiss one of them, and she was frightened and turned pale: "Don't do this, you can't do this!"

"What can't you say?" The pig brother saw that she resisted, so he grabbed her shoulders and used force, causing her to wave her arms in pain. A slap hit the pig brother's face, causing him to get angry and punch the woman in the stomach, causing her to scream in pain: "How dare you resist!"

The noise was so loud that many people looked over. Some were excited, some were smiling obscenely, and some were disdainful.

At this moment, Xin Qu put down his wine cup heavily, making a loud noise.

Everyone came back to their senses and looked at Xin Qu.

Xin Qu waved his hand, and someone beside him drew his sword and quickly rushed behind the pig brother.

Before the pig brother could react, he was stabbed by a sharp sword. His scream shocked everyone.

"Ah! You...ah!" Pig Brother was screaming in pain.

"..."

Zisong frowned and looked at Xin Qu: "Beibo...what do you mean?"

"In a grand banquet, the vulgar should be eliminated." Xin Qu said indifferently, "Before you came, I should have taught you about etiquette, right? If you want others to respect you, the first thing you need to do is to learn to respect others. These people are not lowly people, but sisters of nobles." (End of this chapter)
