Chapter 776 The Siege of October (Part 2)
.There was no longer a meal, and Zhang Juzheng went back. Although his plan was rejected, if the bill number could be placed under the supervision of the court, it could control the issuance of silver bills. Whether it was the commercial tax or the one-whip method, it would be of no use.
Chen Si seemed to have been put on a trick, but he was not depressed at all. He didn't take this matter at all. It won't take long before Zhang Juzheng will understand that what anyone promised you does not count, and only what you can do will count, and that Zhang Juzheng reminded him that those who do not plan forever are not enough to plan for a while. He realized that the authority of the shopkeepers of each branch now is too great. Although they are all candidates that Ruohan likes, it is extremely unreliable to expect a person to always be wise and never deteriorate. Collective decision-making and strong supervision are the guarantee of long-term prosperity. The establishment of a board of directors in Huilianhao has no supervisory board, so it must be put on the agenda... In fact, Chen Si had such plans for a long time, but Ruohan had been slandered and delayed.
Chen Si knew that she was unwilling to decentralize power, and she was even more unwilling to be constrained, thinking that this would be unfavorable for her own performance. However, if she did not improve the system in the early stage, she would definitely suffer a great loss in the future. She should not be careless just because of smooth sailing and must go back and communicate well.
Seeing Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair leave, he turned silently back to the inner courtyard, and saw Wang Qiming coming over and said respectfully: "Sir, there is a Western barbarian who claims to be your friend. He has been waiting in front of him for a long time." As he said that, he took out a famous thorn and smiled, "You can say what we say, but you still understand this."
Chen Si took it over to the house and saw a cross on the cover. He understood. When he opened it, he found that it was indeed "After studying in the West, he went to Zabberou Inoue. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Please..., I'll go in person." As he said that, he took a photo of Wang Qiming: "Why are you standing there? Lead the way in front of you."
"Oh,..." Seeing that the adults valued the barbarians so much, Wang Qiming couldn't help but feel upset. It turned out that the master in front of him had a bad attitude towards the barbarians and almost drove them out.
Silently came to the living room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a red-haired, blue-eyed and red-bearded foreigner wearing a green cloth robe, a black satin thin jacket, and a headband with a same-colored hat. "He was drinking tea there as if he was drinking.
"Hahaha, Father Shameiluo, it's great to see you." With a hearty laugh, he walked into the hall in silence.
"Master Shen...,..." Shabuluo quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Si, "It's great to see you."
"Everything is good, everything is good." Chen Mo Xu helped him. After both sides re-suming, he said with a warm smile: "After farewell in the southeast, it will be more than a year in the blink of an eye. The priest is fine."
Shaburo's feet were wearing square-headed longevity shoes, forked hair and beard, and they were combed neatly in accordance with the rules of the Ming Dynasty. "In every move, the Chinese taste was much more mellow than before." He smiled and said, "Yes, starting from the hometown of the adults, I went north to Beijing for several months. Under the guidance of his brother... Mr. Nanming, I have lived happily in the capital for more than a year." Nanming is Zhu Dashou's name." Before he separated from Shaburo, he was silent. The official letter of introduction also introduced him to Zhu Dashou in Beijing and asked him to take care of him.
I said silently, you don’t plan to immigrate if you live a stable life, right? Then I smiled and said, “I’m so sorry. I’ve been back to Beijing for more than a year, but I never had the chance to meet you again for various reasons.”
"I heard Mr. Nanming say everything about it.
"Zabreu said: "If you want to work hard on state affairs, you don't have to be distracted by me at all."
"There is still time..." Chen Si waved his hand and said, "Tell me, the most important situation in Beijing, by the way... have you started preaching?"
"hehe……
"Xaberuo shrugged his nose and smiled bitterly: "It's more difficult than I imagined. I'm in Macau, Fujian, and Shanghai, which are open cities. People are not unfamiliar with foreigners, so it's easier to communicate." He paused: "But in Beijing, some officials from the south who came to be officials, most of the civilians have never seen me like me... Wherever I came, there were people following me. As soon as I spoke, they smiled and scattered, looking at me like a monster."
"Haha..." Silent smiled and said, "It's rare and weird, there's nothing you can do about it."
"In this case," I can only put the missionary aside first." Shabu smiled and said, "The main energy is spent on learning the Ming Dynasty's understanding customs, studying traditional classic books, and making yourself not as different from those of the Ming people from the inside out... In this way, people in the capital can make friends." In fact, he actively studied Chinese culture, and another purpose was to integrate the Catholic master into the ancient Chinese scriptures... He spent a lot of effort to extract the entries about "Heaven, without "Emperor" from books such as "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", and "The Book of Documents" and other books. It is used to compare it to the Western Catholic doctrine that is more likely to be accepted by the Ming people. Of course, there is no need to say so in detail to silence.
"You have the heart." Nodded silently, "The people in this country have deep-rooted traditions. If they don't respect these traditions, they will not be able to live in this society, let alone preaching." He saw Wang Qiming gesturing at the door, and smiled and said, "It's time to eat, let's talk while eating." As he said, he said to Wang Qiming, "Just eat here."
Wang Qiming brought people up, placed the dining table, and then brought the copper basin to clean the two of them. Then he took out the four meat, four vegetables and eight dishes from the food box and arranged them... Although it was not rich, it was all very exquisite. Wang Qiming was well aware of the tastes of the masters of the Ministry.
"I won't drink with you during work." Chen Si said to Zabby: "But you can drink something."
"The guest will follow the host." Shabby shook his head and smiled, "I won't drink it, so I won't drink it."
"Then I will use tea instead of wine." Silent picked up the teacup and said to Zabby: "Cheers to our reunion."
"Sir.
"Xiao Wulu quickly picked up the teacup with both hands, touched Chen Si gently, and sipped it." He put the teacup down and said, "Your enthusiasm makes me warm as if I were going home."
"Is it a pity that a friend comes from afar?" Silently and humbly smiled, the two of them had a meal quietly for a while, and he asked again: "So, what else have you done besides studying?"
"I also followed the instructions of the adults to introduce some Thai science and technology and novel Western prescriptions to people to attract the attention of the Ming people." Zabulu quickly put down his chopsticks and whispered: "We are also using Western medicine to treat the people. As more and more patients have been cured, I have become more famous-"
"This is all for missionary preaching, right?" Chen Yan said in a slight voice: "You Jesus will urge you there, right?"
"I can't hide it from the Lord." Zaberuo said a little embarrassedly: "My superior, the president of the Jesuits, Luo Yaola, ordered me to start my work as soon as possible to seek the right of the Jesus to preach legally in the Ming Dynasty." He paused: "So I came to the yamen to visit the Lord." Because this was a formal request."
Sitting silently, he said, "Please speak."
"The Jesus Church has prepared a ship of gifts and has been sent to the capital. Please offer them to His Majesty the Emperor." Zabber looked at Xiyi and said silently: "And it will be recommended." In his opinion, meeting the emperor is the key to opening the door of mission.
"I'm happy to serve," he smiled silently and took a teacup and sipped it with apologized look: "But in my opinion, you may not be able to achieve your goal."
"Why?" Zabulu said anxiously: "As far as I know, your country's religion is free..."
"You said nothing wrong," silently said: "But the situation is better than others, no one can do it." As he said that, he picked up the wet wipes on the table and wiped his hands, "You should know that our country has just lost an emperor--"
"Yes, during the national mourning period, I still prayed for the late emperor." Zappelou regained his calmness. What the missionaries lacked the most was patience, otherwise they would not be able to do this job.
"Then you should know that when the late emperor was in power, he was addicted to a religion. He not only built a large number of buildings and kept a cultivator, but also abandoned political affairs and practiced with the cultivators all day long. Even the reason for his final death was suspected of taking pills presented by the cultists." He whispered silently: "The Ministry of Justice is now interrogating this matter, you have not heard of it, right?"
"I've heard of it." Zabber nodded and said, "It is said that the "Last Emperor's Unswer" and the "The Elimination of the Supreme Emperor" all emphasize the need to severely punish those religious followers."
"What I said is," said Chen Shun with a deep face: "The Emperor, His Majesty, has no ministers generally believe that the late emperor's trust in religion has dropped to freezing point because of religion, and even began to dislike religious people."
This statement was spoken by the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable that the blow to Shaburo could be seen. Although he was used to the wind and rain, he still couldn't hide his slightest and said, "Sir, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty is a civilized country that will not have any religious extreme events like Europe." He stopped silently and said: "I just think that the result of meeting the emperor now may not be very good."
"Then I won't see you now." Zabulu became anxious and clasped his fists and said, "Please don't look at me differently." When he was anxious, he rarely used the wrong idiom.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Silently comforted him, "My usual attitude will not change, just like in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Suzhou, I will support you with all my strength, my friend."
"This is my honor." Zaberuo smiled gratefully at the silent and grateful smile: "It is a blessing from the Virgin that I can know you and your friends, the care and help you will never repay me in my life. The Lord will definitely bless you."
"It is also my honor to know you," Father."
A silent smile, as warm as the sun, made Zabulu recover his calmness: "Please give me some advice."
"Actually, you have done a good job." Chen Si then enthusiastically gave a plan: "You should not act rush to act before you are accepted. You must first establish your beautiful image. Now your personal image has been established. Everyone knows that Zappello is a good person, a wise man, and a scholar, but his understanding of your sect is far from enough. You just want to ask for missionary rashly. Even if our emperor is kind, the ministers will not agree."
"You mean, "Let me publicize this tutor privately first?" Zaberi asked.
"You can't mention the word "teach"......" Chen Si bluffed: "Now the Chinese people are sensitive. You are another alien. I'm afraid that when you hear your publicity, you will immediately send him to the official."
"What should I do?" Zabulu was a little confused.
"The saint is like a great sound, and great success is like a shortage." Silent and profound, "The most wise propaganda is not to shout how powerful your sect is, but to the people automatically recognize the advantages of your sect." "I understand." Zaberu said in surprise: "What are you asking me to do in the future, under the banner of this sect?"
"Yes," said quietly: "Although I cannot approve your mission, as a religious official in charge of the Ming Dynasty, it is still fine to approve you to be a Catholic and move in the capital as a Catholic." He also said: "You can also call no more than fifty companions to stay in the capital in the name of the Franji mission. The fifty people were restricted by the Ming Dynasty. After the mission entered the capital, there were too many cases of being dependent on the mission for several years. This is not an abuse of power, but a flexible approach within the scope of power, and no one can find any fault.
"That's great..." After hearing the silent discount delivery, Zabuli was ecstatic: "Sir, you are such an angel." If it weren't for the etiquette of the Eastern World, he really wanted to come forward and hug him hard.
"It's a slap in your friends." Silent smiled generously, "But remember not to preach privately! Of course, you don't know how to do it, but your later partners may be anxious for a moment and make uncontrollable feelings, which will be difficult to deal with."
"Don't worry, sir, I swear in the name of Virgin Mary that I will select my fellow dogs to come to Beijing and will definitely restrain them." Zappelgium said with a heavy emphasis: "I won't cause you any trouble."
"Very good." Silent nodded and smiled: "I believe in you.
"As he said that, he stood up and said aloud: "Okay, Father, you have no worries and we have finished our meal. Why don't we go for a walk in the garden and talk about your views on the Ming Dynasty?"
"I can't ask for it." Zabberluo had long been full of opinions. He knew that now was an excellent opportunity to resolve doubts... If you can listen to the views of this wise high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely benefit him in the future.
The two left the reception room and came to the small garden in the backyard... The Ministry of Rites had few people." There were many officials in the yamen, and the officials in each department worked in the front yard, and the back yard was left to the Secretary of the State Council but the Minister of the State Council. Compared with the crowded Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel seemed very luxurious.
Come on the stone path with yellow leaves, and ask quietly, "You have been to the Ming Dynasty for a few years, why don't you think of this country?" He said, looking at him and said, "I am not an official of the court now, but just your friend." So, "
"Of course I will tell the truth, and liars cannot go to heaven." Zappelg said seriously.
"It seems that I am destined to go to hell. Sinu can't help but think sadly: "Please speak."
"This is a great empire with a vast territory and rich resources. It is undoubtedly the largest and most prosperous country in the world. All the countries of Europa combined cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty." Although Xavi's statement is a bit praising, it is true.
"What I want to listen to is not just good things." Chen Si didn't buy it: "Over the years, you have just agreed to go, and now I want to listen to bad things..."
"Uh..." After all, Zaberi was a Westerner. He was straightforward and not good at concealing his feelings, so he really opened his mouth: "I found that most of the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty had no understanding of the overseas world, so many people believed that the Ming Dynasty was the whole world, and the rest of the small foreign countries were only at the corners of the world. You rarely went to foreign countries in your writings, and even if someone occasionally visited, they would naturally be collectively called the barbaric land. Of course, it is different for adults."
After saying that, he looked at the silence, and saw that his expression was normal, he signaled himself to continue, and then said, "The result was that they were quite repulsive and unresisting to outsiders like me." There was a rare opportunity to talk, so Xavi simply spoke up: "The Ming people regard all foreigners as many barbarians without knowledge and use such words to call us!"
It seems that the priest’s self-esteem is despised by the supreme kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom and is seriously injured.
Silent comforted softly: "The Ming Dynasty has been in a closed-door for 150 years, and it is inevitable that there is a little fuss about it for generations. But please believe me, the people of the Ming Dynasty are well-educated, and most people will treat each other with courtesy."
"I agree with this." Zappelou nodded and said, "After the initial stranger, we all became good friends, and we all competed to treat me to dinner, asking this and that, very friendly and curious." He paused and said, "I found that the people of the Ming Dynasty had a naive temper. Once they realized that the quality of foreign goods was better, they liked foreign things more than their own. Once they thought that foreign ideas were correct, they completely denied their traditions. I felt that "their arrogance was not rejected, because they did not know that there were better things in the world, and there was more science and truth." He said, "But it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty was surrounded by barbaric countries, and it is difficult for people to not have this kind of pride, but the truth was revealed at a glance. "They were like changing individuals. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for them to know the mistakes and be able to correct them. It was great."
