But the pen is already in his hand, and it belongs to the arrow, and he has to send it. Helpless, Zhang Nan could only pick up the pen with the posture in his impression, and began to write the initials on the hard yellow paper.

Li Er had already stepped off the stage at this time, and the ministers were also around Zhang Nan, carefully watching what Zhang Nan was going to write out.

As a result, they saw a bunch of ghost drawings that they couldn't even understand.

Zhang Nan doesn't care if they understand it or not, he still writes his own. After writing the initial list, Zhang Nan carefully wrote down the initial list. When Zhang Nan was writing the finals table, Li Er picked up the initials table that Zhang Nan had already written.

Li Er looked at the neatly arranged bpmfdtnl, Li Er was confused, Li Er frowned and handed the hard yellow paper in his hand to the eldest grandson Wuji's group of Wenchen, and then asked: "Wuji, you are well-informed, do you know what this is, why does I look like a charm?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji held a hard yellow paper full of paper ghost drawings in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this, the ministers are shallow in their studies, and they really don't know what this is." Let's let Brother Xuanling take a look. With that, the eldest grandson Wuji stuffed the hard yellow paper in his hand into Fang Xuanling's hand.

Fang Xuanling also smiled bitterly on the hard yellow paper, looking at the paper full of things like hieroglyphs, Fang Xuanling also arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this minister has never seen this thing, I really don't understand, but the minister guesses that it should be the text of a distant country." ”

Zhang Nan naturally heard the discussion of Li Er and the ministers, so he wrote the rhyme table while saying: "Your Majesty, don't guess anymore, but Lord Fang is right, this is really the text of a country far away in the Western Regions." ”

"Oh? What country is it? When Li Eryi heard that it was a text from another country, he immediately became interested.

"The minister doesn't know what its official name is in the Tang Dynasty, but the minister's master calls it Rome." Zhang Nan still didn't raise his head, and said while writing the finals table.

As soon as Li Er heard that this country was called Rome, he immediately had no clue, after all, the globe that Zhang Nan gave him did not have that country called Rome, but if Zhang Nan knew what ancient Rome was called in China, then he knew that ancient Rome was actually known by Li Er.

Ancient Rome was known as the "Great Qin" in China.

From the Book of the Later Han Dynasty to the Book of Jin, the Book of Wei and the History of the Northern Regions, the descriptions of the Great Qin State in the Western Regions are basically similar, indicating that there was a Great Qin State in the Western Regions during the five or six hundred years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern Dynasties.

However, since the old and new Tang books, the records of the Great Qin State in the Western Regions have changed.

"The Old Tang Book: The Biography of Xirong" records: "The country of Fula, a great Qin, is on the West Sea, connected with Persia in the southeast, with a place of more than 10,000 li, 400 Leh, and a subordinate city. …”

"New Tang Dynasty Book: Biography of the Western Regions" records: "Fu La, the ancient Great Qin, lived in the West Sea, a sea and the west country. Go to Beijing for 40,000 miles, in the west of Toma, the Turkic Khazar Department in the north, the sea in the west, there is the city of Chisan, and the southeast is connected to Persia. The place is 10,000 miles, the city is 400, and the army is 1 million. …”

These are historical evidence of ancient Rome. As for why ancient Rome is called Great Qin, there is still no accurate conclusion.

One theory is that at that time, people in Central Asia and North Asia used to call China 'Qin', and China was called Great Qin because of the strength of ancient Rome, and the cultural relics and institutions were comparable to China. Of course, none of this is available.

"Qingquan, you actually went to the Western Regions?" Li Er knew that Zhang Nan had been to many places, but Li Er never thought that Zhang Nan had even been to the Western Regions, after all, the road to the Western Regions was not only far away, but also very dangerous.

"Well, this is not a boast of the minister, the minister has followed the minister's master around the world, the minister has stepped on the highest peak, but also the lowest valley, south to the southernmost Antarctic, I have seen black and white penguins, north to the northernmost North Pole, I have seen a white bear with a pure white body." Zhang Nan also brags and doesn't make drafts, and Zhang Nan in later generations has never even been out of the country, let alone going to the Antarctic and the North Pole.

But in Datang, it's different, Zhang Nan can open up, anyway, these are real things, and when someone goes to these places one day, it can only be said that what Zhang Nan said is correct.

"Oh, what do these words mean?" It's not that Li Er is not interested in what penguins and white bears Zhang Nan said in his mouth, it's just that Li Er, as an emperor, feels that his knowledge is not as good as that of a courtier, which makes Li Er a little embarrassed, so Li Er can't pull his face and ask Zhang Nan in front of so many people, so he has to continue to ask Zhang Nan these questions about the initials and finals.

"Well, now let the minister explain it to the emperor." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he picked up the finals table that had been written in his hand, and blew it with his mouth by the way, as if he wanted the ink to dry faster.

"In fact, this thing is also very simple, each letter represents a pronunciation, and the combination of this initial and the vowel, and then the pronunciation is synthesized together, which is the pronunciation of the word, the emperor, do you say that you can quickly remember how to read a word?" Zhang Nan asked.

"You give me an example." Li Erdao.

"Well, the emperor, look at this, this letter b, it is the initial, read as "glass", you look at this letter o, read as "oh", the emperor, now think about this b and o together, what should it be read? Zhang Nan now feels like a primary school teacher, teaching a group of primary school students to recognize pinyin.

"Glass, oh, peel. It's "peeling", right. Li Er spelled out this pinyin, and he looked very excited.

Zhang Nan could only pretend to be surprised when he saw Li Er so excited: "Your Majesty, you are so smart, you learned this pinyin so quickly." ”

Li Er was obviously very interested in Zhang Nan's patting, so he shook his hand with a smile, and then said, "Come on, come on, let me try one more." ”

Zhang Nan looked at Li Er, a guy who said that he didn't want a body but was very honest, and he had no choice but to point to the letter t and say: "This letter is "special". Then he pointed to the letter u and said, "This letter is pronounced as "Wu". Your Majesty, guess what this t and u read together? ”

"Teu, spit, is it spit?" Li Er thought about it and gave his own answer.

"That's right, it's spitting. Your Majesty, you are really amazing. Zhang Nan continued to pretend to be surprised.

"Eh, Qingquan don't say that, I'm a little embarrassed to say it." Li Er said with a smile on his face, although he said so, Li Er's face was clearly full of expressions of "You praise me, hurry up and continue to praise me".
