The vision of the red building is farther

Don't underestimate people's face, it is one of the patents and skills of human beings all over the world, regardless of nationality, gender, and belief.After Emperor Zhenghe decided to allow missionaries to teach craftsmen the knowledge of physics and chemistry, not only did many officials in the court explode, but even the missionaries felt incredible, and even thought that maybe God had exerted his power to give them instructions , Let them root such beliefs in this land.

For the time being, Jia Zhen and the others could not feel the great ambitions ignited by the missionaries, but they had already felt the enthusiasm from Taoism and Buddhism in the court hall.Atheists are still quite scarce in such an era. Everyone has more or less the potential to be a believer. Therefore, there are not a few officials who believe in Buddhism or Taoism. As believers, they naturally reject other believers. , even if the Taoist and Buddhist families seem to be in harmony now, but in private, no one has convinced anyone.

Jia Zhen looked at those officials who quoted scriptures and classics, and couldn't help but feel a little headache. It's better to go back and do more work and read more books if you have the time to talk about these inexplicable words. "I have a question, besides missionaries, is there anyone else who is qualified for this position? If so, missionaries are naturally not needed. If not, what are the ministers and workers arguing about? The so-called tolerance is great. Narrow-minded It can be seen that the ancients said that the big is seen from the small, and I am afraid that the ministers and workers will often do things to suppress their colleagues." Jia Zhen came out and left such words, what he wanted was talents, and Not a believer, he really admires such crooked skills from the bottom of his heart.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials threw down his words coldly, and the faces of all the officials were flushed, and the officials who were almost about to fight showed embarrassment on their faces. It seemed that they really had no position and ability to oppose this edict. After all, they None of them knew the kind of talent that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials wanted. Besides, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was not so easy to fool. I heard that in order to find people with real talents and learning, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials did not miss the relevant information. Books, if they play tricks in front of this half-expert, I'm afraid the scene will be even worse. After all, their future is tied to the thought of this person in front of them, except for the government and the emperor and a few backers. They just let the missionaries do it. This incident really made them feel unreconciled, but they are just some weird-looking foreigners, how can they be praised like this.

Looking at the officials below, Emperor Zhenghe could clearly feel that his head was having a headache. He was talking like chicken and duck. What he wanted was to train enough mechanical talents, thinking about how to squeeze out the value of missionaries However, the group of trash at the bottom are arguing whether they should elevate Buddhism or believe in Taoism, and expel Catholicism, which is simply irrelevant.If it weren't for his own image considerations, Zheng Hedi really hoped that the servants would pour cold water on these officials who didn't know the so-called.Jia Zhen and some very keen officials have been able to detect the mood of Zheng and Di. Jia Zhen, who was a little unhappy, suddenly felt quite comforted. Shang can express his displeasure with a cold face, but Zhenghedi can't. The so-called reasonable exercise is training, and unreasonable exercise is tempering. Obviously, all the officials are harshly tempering Zhenghedi's tolerance.

"Enough, I have already made a decision on this matter, you don't need to say more." Emperor Zhenghe's patience was almost gone, so he just said so.All the officials saw that the government and the emperor were like this, so they didn't dare to say much, but they were planning their own plans and plans in their hearts.Furthermore, they are well aware of the influence of Buddhism and Buddhism, and Catholicism should not be the opponent of Taoism and Buddhism.

After Jia Zhen took the order, she carefully screened available missionaries and often went to church.The missionaries stayed in the Great Central Dynasty for so long, but they still had their own sources of information. They knew what the Emperor Zhenghe meant, and they also knew that Jia Zhen was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Father, what do you think we should do?" A blond curly-haired missionary John looked at the old man with the highest teaching position here, his eyes eager. This is a good opportunity, an unspeakable good opportunity. "Arthur, you have had the most contact with this Master Jia, what kind of person do you think he is?" The white-haired priest turned to another subordinate and said. "He is different from the officials of the Great Yang Dynasty that we have come into contact with before. He has a very deep understanding of science and our culture, especially appreciates those books on astronomy and science, and can even speak in simple English. Communicate with me. But he doesn't seem to have any interest in theology, our religion and belief." Arthur tried very hard to express his impression of this Lord Jia, and his words were very cautious.

"You mean this lord is only interested in those scientific classics, right?" John asked impatiently. "According to my observation, it is indeed the case. When he talks to me, he will deliberately avoid everything about theology and Catholicism." Arthur still has a good impression of this Mr. Jia. There are not a few dignitaries he contacts, most of them are just They came into contact with this group of missionaries out of curiosity or to show off their own country's culture, and there are almost only a handful of people who really talk to them and even have some understanding of their country.

"This is going to be troublesome." The priest was a little worried. He believed that Catholicism had never been able to have a large number of believers in the Great Central Dynasty, because if it was bottom-up, most ordinary people believed in Taoism and Buddhism, and the two religions were very popular. , not that their Catholicism can be compared. Moreover, the people of the Great Yang Dynasty seem to have a natural estrangement from their religion, and it is really difficult to start.But if it is from top to bottom, those officials and even the emperor are not so easy to talk to. They are extremely proud of their own national power and ability, and there is no way to bend down humbly to kiss God's robe, okay? It is easy to have such an opportunity, but he did not expect that the official in charge of this matter would still be so difficult. He has also heard about the deeds of Mr. Jia. He is quite a weird person, and dealing with him is not easy at all.

"But Father, I think we can look on the bright side. This Mr. Jia is not one of the dignitaries we usually come into contact with. He is quite receptive, and he also has a good understanding of the customs and customs of our country. He can even chat with me, which shows that he is not a stubborn person. Moreover, as far as I know, the two sons of Mr. Jia seem to know our country well. Finally, I think a man who knows how to taste The Dayang Dynasty people of coffee will definitely not be such stubborn and unwise people, as long as we have enough patience, I believe that Master Jia will become God's most loyal believer." Arthur's view on this matter is different from that of the priest, He has even seen a bright future, trying to convince the priest.

"Father, I think what Arthur said makes sense. We can try it." John quite agreed with Arthur's words, and looked at the priest. This is their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they must seize it. He heard that Master Jia and The emperors of the Great Yang Dynasty still have some in-laws and connections, and if this Lord Jia can be on their side, they can still influence the monarchs of the Great Yang Dynasty and those high-ranking ministers in the future. Those people will slowly reunite with their God, which is undoubtedly an immortal merit, which is the meaning of their coming to this ancient and rich land.

"You are all right." The priest was moved by his subordinates. Indeed, it is easier to convince someone who knows them well and agrees with them than someone who knows nothing about them many. "Arthur, should we take the initiative to visit Mr. Jia?" The priest thought for a while and asked. "Of course, I have already asked Mr. Jia, and he agrees." Arthur is quite confident, this is the result of his hard work, and said with a smile. "Well done, kid. God will bless you." The priest nodded appreciatively. They had to make some preparations, and then he had to get in touch with Mr. Jia himself.

Compared with Jia Zhen, who seemed a little suspicious after being notified by the servant, the guard of General Wei Lie's mansion was a little out of character, but he still accepted the post respectfully, heard the meaning of the foreigners in front of him clearly, and then went inside. pass. "Father, these missionaries plan to visit you?" Jia Mao raised his eyebrows, looked at his father who was pointing, and asked.Jia Wei, who was listening on the sidelines, was quite curious about foreigners. He heard from his brother that these foreigners looked weird, but he had never seen a real foreigner! "Brother Yang, you take Brother Hui to study first, and we will continue later." Jia Zhen has no idea of ​​satisfying the curiosity of her sons for the time being. As a person without religious beliefs, although he doesn't think he , but I still don't want a religious fanatic to come to the family. It is enough for Ningguo Mansion to have his father Jia Jing as a layman.

"Brother, why didn't my father let me stay in the flower hall? I haven't seen a foreigner before? I don't know if it is like what you said." Jia Wei was filled with strong curiosity, wishing to see it with his own eyes, but unfortunately he Now that he is still young, he can't go out easily, and his eldest brother has become more and more stable in recent years, developing towards his father's appearance, so it is impossible for him to drag his brother into the water even if he wants to. "Aren't you the same as us, with two eyes, one nose, and one mouth? Hurry up and go back to study with me." Jia Mao had come into contact with missionaries, a group of fanatical people, and he spent a lot of time Hu Zhili only got rid of it, it seems that his father may be mentioned to death in the future.
