The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, although we know that the accent is very important, there is currently a lot of debate in Beihai over which pronunciation to use for "Standard German".

The English side is easy to speak, just use the "London accent" that Mr. Zhao said, and no one has any objections. Even though the Frisian and English pronunciations of the Frisians have changed, the Frisians also know that they are "country people", and it is more in line with the trend to adopt the "London accent" and accept the "London accent". As for England, they have no problem. After all, it is the pronunciation of the capital, which is absolutely correct.

But the German side is super troublesome. It is said that Marin is from the Ruhr area, so he should promote the German pronunciation of the Ruhr area. However, his capital was established in East Frisia. Therefore, local officials, headed by Prime Minister Geoffrey, opposed the use of German pronunciation in the Ruhr area, but suggested using the local Low German pronunciation of East Frisia. Even, for a while, Marin did adopt Low German as the standard pronunciation.

However, when the North Sea State annexed the Ruhr area and eight vassal states including the Duchy of Lüneburg, the situation changed again. Because officials in the Ruhr area and the eight newly annexed vassal states opposed the use of Low German one after another. Because this is quite different from inland German.

Moreover, with the expansion of the North Sea State, the proportion of the population using Low German has also been declining. If you continue to use Low German as the standard German, it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the inland Germans.

Therefore, Marin, who was devastated, later adopted the original German practice in history-using the German pronunciation of Hanover in central Germany as the standard pronunciation.

In fact, Hannover, a city in the southeastern region of Lower Saxony, is located exactly at the intersection of the Low German-speaking region and the Inland German-speaking region. The pronunciation of the local German is intelligible to people who use Low German and acceptable to people who use High German.

Then, as in the original history, Marin set the dialect of the Hannover area as the standard German pronunciation and re-promoted it in the school.

Moreover, in order to correct the pronunciation problems of students in other regions, Marin also mobilized a large number of church members from the Hannover area to help students learn Hannover pronunciation.

But the natives of Hannover are full of confusion, because at this time Hannover is just an ordinary small town, which has not yet become the capital of Brunswick, and is basically a small rural place. They had no idea that their own dialect had become the standard German pronunciation.

Marin is too lazy to care what others think. In order to take the lead, he has to learn the standard Hannover pronunciation with Caesar every day. Before, he was used to speaking Low German. Fortunately, his memory has become stronger after traveling, and it is not difficult to learn new German pronunciation. As for Caesar, it is not difficult to change his pronunciation because he is in the most suitable boyhood for learning.

But most adult officers,

It is difficult to change the pronunciation. After all, it is difficult for adults to change their accent. Even if Marin came up with the standard German phonetic symbols, it is still difficult to change the accents of adult officials. Especially for an old man like Jeffrey, it is difficult to change his accent at all.

In this regard, Marin is not in a hurry. If it doesn't work, just wait for the children in the school to grow up, and then seek a unified accent. You know, Xinhua was established in 1949, and the "Xinhua Dictionary" was created in a few years. But it wasn't until the 21st century that Mandarin was popularized among the younger generation. For middle-aged and elderly people who don't know Mandarin, the funny Chinese officials of later generations have nothing to do. Even the founder of the country spoke with a strong Funan accent when he spoke on the tower...

Therefore, the promotion of standard German is a very long process. And if you want to teach children to learn standard German pronunciation, first of all, you must have a teacher with standard pronunciation. For this reason, Marin ordered that in the future, when recruiting teachers, the standard of pronunciation will be used as the entry threshold.

...

"It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person." If you want to unify the accent of the whole country, it may take tens or hundreds of years. Anyway, Marin felt that it was difficult for him to see that day coming. However, to his delight, the practice of adopting the Hannover dialect has been widely recognized in China. Even other vassal states have begun to adopt the standard pronunciation scheme customized by Beihai State, and introduce textbooks from Beihai State for teaching.

In this regard, Marin naturally agreed with both hands and feet, and enthusiastically provided teaching materials. But the problem is, others don't buy it. why? Because, the basic textbooks of Beihai State are full of praise and deification of Marin. Other countries are naturally not willing to accept it.

Therefore, Marin had to ask people to delete and revise the textbooks, and changed the boasting of Marin himself to the greatness of the Germans and Germany. Although I can't let the children of other princes worship me, but also in their hearts, a seed of "German unification" has been sown. When the North Sea State sent troops to unify Little Germany, these children who had accepted the idea of ​​"German Unification" almost grew up, and it was easier to accept the rule of the North Sea State.

Marin has been busy with education these days, but the report from the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rabbi gave Marin a headache...

The rabbi's report shows that because Marin secretly transferred 10,000 Hungarian men from the silver mine in Goslar to train as cavalry, this also led to the loss of 10,000 miners in the silver mine in Goslar, which seriously affected the silver mine. mine output. According to statistics, in the past two months, the silver output of mines has dropped by 20%, which makes the financial department very disturbed. After all, without so much money, many things cannot be done.

In addition, the rabbi also mentioned another problem-not only the silver mines in Goslar lacked miners, but also the departments that built roads in the North Sea State also seriously lacked labor.

Although it is said that Marin has formed an engineering team of seven to eight thousand people dedicated to road construction, which greatly facilitates the road construction in Beihai State. However, the six or seven thousand labor force is really a drop in the bucket for road construction.

Marin can recruit farmers to participate in road construction and even digging rivers during the slack season. But the problem is that the serfs' main business is still farming, so it is difficult to concentrate on building roads. Once it was farming time, the serfs had to return to the manor. Then, many projects had to be stopped. And, it's a long wait. After all, in this age without agricultural machinery, busy farming takes a long time. Once encountering busy farming, it will be very delayed.

"Unless...unless there are specialized migrant workers?" Marin suddenly remembered the important group of later generations who built China - migrant workers.

Migrant workers are very inconspicuous, and generally have a low level of education. However, these people are also important. Why can Shanghai and Beijing be built into super metropolises? Is it because too many migrant workers have poured in?

Since the full promotion of agricultural machinery in the 21st century, rural areas no longer need so much labor to farm. With agricultural machinery, only the elderly and women need to stay behind in the countryside to take care of the fields. Spring plowing and autumn harvesting, as long as you pay to hire agricultural machinery to do the work. The male laborers in the family flooded into the big cities and became migrant workers who worked hard to earn money.

Shanghai and Shanghai alone have a population of 18 million, but there are millions of migrant workers who live there. The workers on the construction site are basically migrant workers. It can be said that without those migrant workers, the infrastructure in the city would basically not work...

"That's right! The reason why Beihai's infrastructure can't be done is because of the lack of a large number of migrant workers!" Marin slapped his head and finally realized why Beihai's infrastructure couldn't be done. Because, he has forgotten the overwhelming army of migrant workers who crowded the train station in later generations...
