"The Great Qin Academy currently has over 5,000 students and 500 teachers, making it a perfect place to compile a dictionary. I believe this task will be completed in no time."

The principal spoke eloquently and passionately, listing the learned people in his own academy.

The doctors who had already compiled part of it had no objection to this.

The truth is, this work is too complicated, and they also have government affairs to deal with, so their energy is limited.

Su Jinyue thought about the famous classics in history. Which one of them was not compiled by many scholars over several years?

If Dad wants to compile this book quickly, he really needs to activate the Great Qin Academy.

Ying Zheng did have this consideration. He was very interested in the imperial examination system that Su Jinyue had mentioned. However, most of the knowledgeable people today came from the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, so the imperial examination system was of little significance.

He was in urgent need of a group of fresh students, students from poor families and farming families, so the compilation of this dictionary became very urgent.

"I have ordered all the doctors, teachers, and students of the Great Qin Academy to jointly compile the 'Great Qin Dictionary'. This book will be in two volumes. One volume will be a simplified version, consisting of Qin seal script, auxiliary script, and phonetic notation, but will not include annotations. This will be compiled first and printed by next summer at the latest, and distributed to schools in all counties and prefectures throughout the country."

"There will be another volume with annotations for each character. It must be rigorous and well-founded. It will be published next year."

"During the compilation period, if necessary, the ministers of each department must cooperate."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the hall stood up and accepted the order.

The matter of the "Da Qin Zhī Shu" was thus settled.

Su Jinyue listened with a smile. Now that such complicated work was assigned, she believed that she would not be blocked by those old men for a long time in the future.

She really couldn't control the upturned corners of her mouth and laughed foolishly.

Ying Zheng saw it.

Then, Su Jinyue was assigned a task.

"Order the Imperial Master and the Minister of the Imperial Household to print out elementary books for young children as quickly as possible and distribute them everywhere."

Su Jinyue: ???

She wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was there more work for her to do? Didn’t she just figure out Zhuyin?

Before she could refuse, Chunyu Yue rushed out excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I would like to work with the Grand Master to help compile this into a book."

This old guy, he just came to my door on his own initiative?

What do you want to do? She won't copy the Confucian way!

Although the current Confucian classics are not as pedantic as those in later generations.

She would only use it appropriately.

Just as she was about to explain, she saw Mo Jiang, the usually cold and arrogant leader of the Mohist school, step out.

He patted his clothes lightly, bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I can also provide some assistance."

Gongshu Yang followed closely behind, loudly declaring, "I am also willing to participate."

Legalists, agriculturalists, medical experts, military strategists, and even Tang Bing, the Duke of Dongyuan who had always been aloof from the world and never participated in government affairs, all stood up to express their opinions.

This, this, this!

Su Jinyue grinned and laughed heartily.

Just come, come more, and she won’t have to work!

Ying Zheng shook his head silently in his heart.

Silly boy, are they competing to work for you?

This is a fight for the foundation of Qin's civilization.

However, he thought of the nine-year compulsory education schedule that Su Jinyue had mentioned, and secretly made up his mind.

"Yes! You must assist the Imperial Master and compile the enlightenment materials as soon as possible!"

"Yes! I will obey the Holy Order!"

Su Jinyue was fully confident that she could be a hands-off boss again, but she didn't know that the old men from each family had already been thinking of various ways to compete for the layout.

Of course, Su Jinyue, the general manager, is their top priority.

When Su Jinyue was surrounded and blocked again, she realized how wrong she was.

There was no other way, she could only give each company five pages of copyright. As for what to write on them, they had to decide for themselves and then submit it to her for selection.

In Xianyang City, things got back on track very quickly.

At the northern border, the Hu people, having tasted the sweetness of success, once again stepped into the territory of Qin.

The sky in the northern desert is low and oppressive, and the roots and leaves on the grassland are withered and yellow.

The Hu people were wearing fur coats, with big swords hanging from their waists, and their eyes were full of greed and ferocity.

"Go south and plunder!"

The Hu leader Bater gave a loud roar, and his men and horses rushed to the south like arrows.

The horses neighed and yellow dust covered the sky.

The originally peaceful border village was broken by the sudden sound of horse hooves.

The villagers clutched their families in fear and frantically searched for hiding places.

Soon, the Hu people rushed into the village, laughing wildly, breaking into the straw huts of each household and killing people indiscriminately.

The old man ran to the door of his house with trembling hands, trying to lure the Hu people away, but was shot by an arrow from the Hu people.

In the straw hut, under the simple bed, the woman had a look of despair in her eyes. She held the child tightly in her arms and prayed constantly, asking God to protect her and prevent her from being caught by the barbarians.

The ground was covered with blood and screams echoed in the howling wind.

Food was looted, men were killed, and straw huts were set on fire, heralding the annihilation of entire families.

A little girl had just struggled to run out of the hut when a big hand from behind grabbed her ankle and dragged her back into the hut.

"Help! Ah! Let me go!"

"Mom! Dad! Save me!"

There was no one there. Her parents were already lying in a pool of blood.

The screams continued, mixed with the Hu people's laughter, and were particularly harsh.

"Help! Someone help me!"

"Master Imperial Master! Lady Mantou, help me—"

Just at this moment, a sharp arrow shot from outside the village with a "whoosh".

The arrow was extremely fast and pierced through the head of the Hu man outside the straw hut with a "bang".

"How dare the barbarians bully the people of the Great Qin!"

"Soldiers, charge!"

"kill!"

The former general, who had been lurking at the border for a long time, finally tracked down the whereabouts of this group of Hu cavalry. He came on horseback with a sword in hand. As soon as he met the Hu people, he chopped off their arm, shouted loudly, and rushed into the Hu cavalry.

"Everyone, leave no one alive, kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Bater came out of a straw hut with his trousers held up. When he saw this group of Qin soldiers, his heart suddenly tightened.

Fully equipped and with strong warhorses.

They must be the elite of the Qin army.

He put his hand into his mouth and blew out a quick, sharp whistle.

"Get on the horses and retreat! Don't worry about the food, retreat quickly!"

He reacted quickly. After realizing that his side was no match for the enemy, he immediately ordered everyone to flee without delay.

However, it was too late.

The Hu people hurriedly grabbed the food at hand and were about to mount their horses, but were stopped by the Qin army behind them.

A fierce battle is just around the corner.

"Warriors, kill! Only by fighting your way out can you survive!"

"Ah! Kill!"

The flashes of swords and sabers continued to flash. The former general shouted angrily and rushed to the front of the horse of the Hu leader, stabbing him with his sword.

Bater was not afraid at all. He raised the big knife in his hand and was ready to defeat the opponent with his great strength.

"Clang-"

The swords collided.

Bater's pupils trembled violently, and he looked at the cracked sword in his hand with horror.
