The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 462

After listening to Half’s words, Olaf was very satisfied with this little brother, knowing that this little brother has really grown up and has already shown the prowess of a general.

Thinking of Ulav, who had been quite capable and knowledgeable when he was in Wenlan, Olaf looked at his eldest brother and asked, “What is your opinion, eldest brother?”

Ulav smiled and said, “Olav, you must have an idea, what can I know?”

Olaf shook his head gently, knowing that the eldest brother was hiding his clumsiness, and it was also a form of self-protection. He was worried that being too showy would attract Olaf’s suspicion. After all, the two had also fought for the succession of the Grand Duke of Iceland.

Looking at Gellny, who was still a little unconvinced, Olaf said: “Half’s words are right, we can’t use violence to drive the people, this may be very effective, but although a civil war may break out, and the whole of Northern Europe is only a small amount People? How many people do we have? How long can we fight? Can we afford it?”

“So, we have to take it slow. Now that the Nordic Thunder has been fully recognized by everyone, the concept of Vikings is enough. After everyone recognizes that it is a Viking nation, we don’t need to suppress other people. The language is just a combination of four languages, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland, which have some changes but are essentially the same.

Then, religious schools in various places are required to teach children this standard pronunciation language. In the future, schools at all levels have adopted standard pronunciation as the teaching language, writing and writing, and then relying on imperial examinations and promotion of membership. The basic condition is to be able to speak standard pronunciation. Who can’t learn our standard accent? ”

When Olaf said this, the eyes of the three of them lit up.

Although they can’t say what’s good, the three of them all know that they should follow Olaf’s wishes. Everyone in the Swedish Empire will not be against the standard sound. Adults may not learn much on their own initiative, but for the future of their children and grandchildren , will definitely not prevent children from learning, and will even support it. After thirty or forty years, that is, two generations, people on both sides of the Baltic Sea will be dominated by people who speak Viking standard pronunciation.

After all, the main population in the Nordic region is still more than 4 million people in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. These people have similar languages, and it is naturally easier to learn Viking standard sounds.

“Second brother, this idea is too clever!”

Half clapped his hands and said with a smile: “To do this with the Vikings has really become a Nordic nation. Our Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, etc. are no longer countries and nations, but regions, just like Iceland. The southeastern Leidang is the same as the Southwest Leidang, who can subvert the Viking Empire in the future? Who can subvert it?”

Gellney also figured out the taste at this time, and smiled: “Yeah, this method is much better than killing people. What words did Lao Song say?”

Ulav smiled and said, “Pulling the heart.”

“Yes, it is to punish the heart. In the future, people from various countries will no longer have the heart to split, and the second brother’s Nordic Thunder is worthy of the name!”

Olaf smiled slightly, vaguely complacent. Although he was inspired by later generations to play Viking standard sound, this idea was his own thinking. Not only did his brothers and sisters agree, even Song Qinghe shouted at him when he heard it. It is the ancestor of Europa, which shows how good the effect of Viking standard sound assimilation in various regions is.

Song Qinghe was trembling with excitement at that time, shaking his head and saying: “The book is the same in the text, the words are in the same pronunciation, and a hundred people can be a family.

Olaf’s Confucianism has improved a lot now, so he understands some meanings, thinks about what he is going to do, and feels that his merits are boundless. All the countries in northern Europe were originally Germanic peoples. Now, because of the different living areas, he has come into contact with foreign cultures. The difference between them has led to changes in language, changes in customs, and even split into several ethnic groups. If you integrate the various ethnic groups into one ethnic group with the concept of Viking, you are actually restoring the original appearance. Happy.

After communicating with his brothers and sisters, Olaf refused to let the three idle. Half went to Finland to take office, and his brother Ulav temporarily became the examiner of the first Swedish imperial examination.

Gellney was arranged by Olaf to be a member of the Privy Council and Minister of Civil Affairs. The first thing Olaf arranged for Gellney was to ask her to count all the population of the Swedish Empire, and arrange them according to household registration, place of origin, age, nationality, Identity and other bookkeeping storage.

The Swedish Empire originally had a system for the population and household registration of citizens, but outside the city, it was basically no management.

Fortunately, the peasant people at the bottom of Olaf’s implementation of Nordic Thunder were eager to sign up. In addition, the Viking Corps and the Swedish Iron Cavalry were patrolling and propagating in various places. The list compiled by the Nordic Five-color Leidang is not detailed enough, but it also finds out the approximate population under the Swedish Empire, which is about five million, of which the Nordic Leidang is 4.6 million and the Icelandic Viking Lei. When it is 60,000, Wenlan Lei is 550,000.

Of course, Olaf also knows that this population is not the most real number. There are still many nobles and their servants and people from the mountains who have not joined the Nordic Thunder, and the Jewish Federation Kingdom. If all these are counted, The population of the people of the Swedish Empire is actually more than 6 million.

Although the population of 6 million is barely the same as the population of the British Republic, it is not comparable to the populous countries such as France and Russia, but it is also among the first echelon in Europe.

Olaf asked Gellney to count the population, and he also wanted to find out how much wealth he had, and in the process of counting the population, people who had not been included in the Nordic Leidang before will be reabsorbed, so as to improve his awareness of the various regions of the Swedish Empire. of control.

^0^ And this census also involves ethnic issues. When the statistical results come out, it will be clear how many people are not Vikings, but they think they are other ethnic groups, and the direction of assimilation and the degree of spillover will be clear in the next step. Clearly grasped.

Gellney likes the feeling of being in control very much. After she was appointed by Olaf, she excitedly went to the Privy Council to find Prime Minister Noren Radarson. The old businessman who was born in the businessman and became the Prime Minister with his daughter’s investment is very good. Smart and capable.

Although Gellney’s position is far lower than him, he has a special status. Prime Minister Noren still respects Gellney very much. Princess Gellney shouts, even if she is only the daughter of the Grand Duke, she should be called Miss.

Although Gellney knew that Noren was Olaf’s cheap father-in-law, his daughter was only Olaf’s lover, and Noren himself was not a nobleman, so naturally he didn’t see him in his eyes, and directly demanded Northern Europe. Five Colors Raidan’s List Booklet.

Noren sent some young clerks to help Gellney with a smile, and then left for an excuse.

After walking out of the archives and getting on the carriage, Noren Radarson let out a long sigh and said indifferently, “This princess is really arrogant, but she is worthy of being His Majesty’s younger sister in doing things in a hurry. His Majesty asked her to take charge of the census. Population, where can she do such a tedious and long job? I think she is also deliberately grinding her temperament.”

In the initial stage of the imperial examinations and the census, Olaf handed them over to Ulav, Song Qinghe, Noren, Gellny, etc., respectively, and he himself took Copenhagen University, Uppsala University, and Szczecin Military Academy. Professors and teachers from several colleges and universities in the Swedish Empire have invited the Three Crown Castle to conduct a seminar on Viking standard pronunciation.

Hundreds of top Nordic intellectuals gathered in the palace, of which the most prestigious and the most famous was Mr. Descartes, who had just been transferred back to Uppsala University from Vinland University as president.

The father of geometry, the father of modern philosophy, and the ancestor of modern science, Descartes, who would have died last year due to illness, was rescued from the gate of **** because of the care of several good Chinese medicine practitioners from Qinghe Academy that Olaf specially sent to take care of his body. .

So Descartes now no longer focuses on the study of geometry and philosophy, and began to be interested in Chinese medicine and Eastern philosophy.

When Descartes saw Olaf, he first expressed his gratitude, and then the man who was still handsome in his fifties happily asked Olaf about the process of his treatment, and finally exclaimed: “The magic of oriental medicine, I think They are the inheritors of ancient alchemy, and it is incredible that strange potions can have the magic power of healing.”

Before Olaf could speak, Song Qinghe smiled and said: “Mr. Descartes, medical knowledge is the secret method of prolonging life and health preservation passed down by my ancestor Huangdi and Shennong. I don’t know how many people have been saved for thousands of years, but it is not your alchemy. technique.”

Descartes was amazed at the long history of traditional Chinese medicine, and took Song Qinghe to discuss it.

Olaf saw that almost half of the scholars present here are not actually Nordic, but a considerable number of them have joined Nordic Thunder. Although their native language is not Swedish, Danish, etc., but now they speak Swedish very well fluent.

In order to show his public will and determination, Olaf must invite the most convincing in these imperial systems and make people accept them.

After a free discussion for a long time, Descartes stood up as a literary leader and touted Olaf’s implementation of Viking standard pronunciation as a major exploration and contribution to linguistics~www.mtlnovel.com~ is a well-deserved person who truly respects science .

Descartes was suppressed by the Catholic Church all his life because of his research on science, but he was very moved by Olaf’s protection and kindness. Later, when he was teaching at Vinland University, he learned a lot of allusions after coming into contact with Song Qinghe and Eastern Confucianism. The phrase “Godfather Olaf treats me as a state scholar, and a scholar as a confidant dies” is often used on his lips.

Now Olaf wants to implement the Viking standard sound, which is another innovation in Descartes’ view. It is an exploration of linguistics. Entrusting this important task to them is also the highest value and respect for these scholars.

So, after Descartes’ eloquent and infectious speech, the seminar on Viking standard tones moved on to the next item.

That is to say, discuss the changes of the same language and different words and languages ​​in Iceland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, in order to find the rules and context, and finally find the vocabulary that integrates the characteristics of the three languages, and use this as a basic template. All languages ​​are tonal adjusted to create Viking standard tones and standard alphabets.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
