History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

For the next banquet, the fourth master was not in the mood the whole time, but the crown prince and other princes enthusiastically accepted the toasts from the officials, causing the emperor to look at him frequently.

Minning felt strange, why was fourth master not drunk when he came back today?

Not only that, but the look in her eyes after returning was a little strange.

Fourth master had been holding back all afternoon and finally couldn't hold back any longer, and asked her, "I heard that I saved you?"

Minning froze for a moment, not understanding what he was talking about.

The fourth master continued: "I just found out today that I saved you and placed you in my hot spring village in Xiaotangshan."

Minning was busy helping him take off his alcohol-smelling coat, when he heard his words, he stopped.

"Father..."

Since he knew that she had stayed in his village, then he also knew about her experience of being trafficked when she was a child?

Minning didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She originally thought that this disgraceful experience would be buried forever, but she didn't expect to be known by him suddenly.

But where did he know it?Thinking that no one in the hot spring village recognized her back then, so it is even more impossible for anyone in Yangzhou City to recognize her now?

After thinking about it, this matter probably could only be caused by the An family's outburst. Minning felt bad because she had become estranged from the An family over the years.

After all, her business is getting bigger and bigger, and it's not like An Jia has knowledge beyond the next few hundred years, so naturally she can't keep up with her in business.

Fortunately, Minxing is in charge of the family now, he is not good at being a pioneer, but he is more suitable for being a conservative.Because the formula of alkali was deciphered, the soap business was not so easy to do, but just relying on their old brand name, it was enough for the family to live a prosperous life.

What's more, Minning has a lot of staff, and every year, he purchases a large amount of soap for welfare. The money for buying soap alone is enough to make a fortune for Anjia.

Originally thought that this was good enough for An's family, but Minning didn't expect to hear it from Fourth Master suddenly, it was a huge blow to her.

"Why have I never heard from you?"

Facing Fourth Master's aggressiveness, Minning's mind went blank for a moment, but she reacted quickly, and simply admitted her childhood experience.

"Yes, Lord, when I was five years old, I was abducted from my house, and I was abducted to Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou?" Fourth master only knew that Minning had been trafficked, but he didn't know that she had been to Yangzhou when she was a child.

It's been a few days since I came to Yangzhou, but An Jia has never revealed her familiarity with Yangzhou!

Minning continued to help him take off his clothes, put them on the table next to him, and said while stacking them.

"Yes, speaking of which, I stayed in Yangzhou for five years when I was a child."

Fourth master didn't speak, but looked at her intently.

Minning put the clothes he had just folded aside, and took him by the hand to let him sit down.

"My lord, I won't hide it from you anymore. When I was young, I was kidnapped to Yangzhou and sold to a big family as a daughter. I read and practiced calligraphy and learned to be a housekeeper. After three years like this, I suddenly had a baby. Seriously ill. The family was afraid that I would die of illness, so they gave me away to someone else.” To say that being a daughter is just being obedient, and people in Yangzhou know in their hearts, what will be the way out after being sold to a wealthy family as a daughter?

Fourth Master has been living in the capital, so naturally he doesn't know the hidden meaning of Minning's words.

He held Minning's hand as if silently comforting her.

Minning continued like a memory, "During that time, I thought I was going to die. At that time, I felt that I hadn't found my family yet, and my life was just beginning. I didn't want to die at a young age, so I worked hard to get over it. I got better. After that, I flattered Ren Yazi and worked hard at Ren Yazi's house for two years."

"When I was ten years old, Ren Yazi didn't want to raise me any more, so he wanted to sell me. At this time, a high-ranking official came to Yangzhou, because the behavior of a rich family sending their daughter to the high-ranking official as a concubine angered him. The wife of a high official, the whole of Yangzhou has started to crack down on human trafficking. As long as there are people with unknown origins in the hands of Ren Yazi, they will all be investigated."

Speaking of this, Minning smiled at Fourth Master, who held her shoulders and let her head rest on his shoulder.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, and forget all these bad memories."

"No." Minning shook her head slowly, "No, with Master here, I can already face these bad memories." Her fingers intertwined with his.

"I was abducted and trafficked since I was a child, and my identity is naturally unknown. Seeing that the wife of a high official will stay in Yangzhou for a few more years, and she can't make a move for a while, that person simply took me and others to the north. .It was the first time in my life to come to the capital, but I felt very kind.”

She looked up and saw Fourth Master's side face and a shallow round mole on his chin, "Master, do you know when we first met?" She stretched out her other hand to touch his chin The mole on it.

Fourth Master grabbed her naughty hand, lowered his head and asked her, "When?"

Minning smiled as if thinking of something, "At that time, I didn't have enough to eat, and I didn't eat any good food. I was as skinny as a seven or eight-year-old child. When I first saw you, I felt This young man must have been born into a wealthy family. It was the moment when I was facing the biggest crisis in my life. All the children with me were sold by Ren Yazi, and only I was left with a bad appearance. Ren Yazi wanted to save trouble, so he wanted to The place where I sold fireworks. Then I ran away, and on the way to escape, I happened to bump into Grandpa..."

Fourth Master said, "So, I bought you later?"

Minning shook his head, "No, it was the First Prince who bought me back then, but he gave me to the Lord as a gift."

"Even now, I still remember the scene back then. When I met Grandpa, I found that the jade pendant worn by Grandpa was made of very good material. I knew that if I wanted to escape this crisis, I could only ask Grandpa for help."

When fourth master heard her talking about the eldest prince, he had a vague impression in his mind. In his memory, the boss seemed to have invited him to drink flower wine once, but something happened on the way, and he took the opportunity to escape.

It turned out that it was the first time he met her.

"At that time, I asked the Lord for help, but before the Lord opened his mouth, the Eldest Prince threw a piece of silver to get rid of the man's teeth. For you, the money may not be enough for a meal, but for me, it is worth saving my life." kindness."

Fourth master couldn't help supporting his head, so this is the life-saving grace she said?

Minning pursed his lips, "Later, because my grandfather was still living in the palace, he arranged me to be in the Zhuangzi on the other side of Xiaotangshan."

"In that case, it should be the elder brother who saved you."

Minning shook his head and hugged his waist, "Whatever, anyway, I was asking for help at the time, and the eldest prince bought me for the sake of the sake of the Lord, and later don't give me to the Lord as a gift. ?"

"So it was the Lord who saved me!" Min Ning stubbornly pinned the life-saving grace on Fourth Master. As for the kindness from the eldest prince, she will repay it in the future.

Hearing what she said, Fourth Master nodded agreeingly, "Yes, I saved you." His own woman, Fourth Master is naturally unwilling to push the feeling of saving lives on others, even his elder brother .

"Then tell me why you didn't tell me before? If Khan Ama hadn't mentioned it this time, I wouldn't even know there was such a thing."

Minning suddenly realized that this matter was found out by the emperor, and then she became a little vigilant, probably the emperor had also found out about the business that was so hard to hide?

Fortunately, Xincheng has not revealed her real purpose. As long as the incident goes smoothly, so what if these properties are found by the emperor?Could it be possible to confiscate her family and exterminate her family?

From this point of view, it doesn't seem to blame An's side, no matter how they hide it, they can't resist the state machine's desire to investigate thoroughly.

Minning felt a little better, at least An Jia didn't say it on purpose.

"Master, I stayed in your village for a while. When I entered Beijing, I suddenly found that the people in the capital spoke very familiar accents. Then one night, I dreamed about my childhood, and followed some clues to find my family. After that You probably know all about it, right?"

Fourth Master shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't know you still have a fiance!"

Minning's small fist lightly hit fourth master's chest, and said angrily, "Master, what are you talking about? It's not your fiancé, but I, Ama, feel that I'm not young anymore, so it's time to talk about it, not to mention that I don't even have a face." I haven't seen it. Later, I participated in the draft, didn't I point it to you directly?"

The fourth master's heart was full of joy in the last two sentences, but he was still serious on this face, put his hand on his lips and coughed lightly, "Are you sure, you really haven't met?"

Minning held his face in his hands, and looked around seriously, "Master, aren't you jealous?"

Fourth Master's neck blushed, and he immediately stood up, "Nonsense!" After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

Minning clicked his tongue from behind, the son was born, and he was shy just thinking about it now, and his reaction was slow enough.

Then the relaxed expression on her face dissipated, her brows frowned together and became solemn, "So many things are exposed to the emperor, it seems that we must hurry up." The emperor sat on it for a day, and she had to continue to tremble with fear.

Her medical school, Zhuangzi, factories, and that city, as long as the emperor moved his mind, they would disappear in an instant.

Now it is not the inviolability of private property later, no matter how much money you make now, it is not up to the emperor?

Just like the later famous Heshen, who involved hundreds of millions of wealth in the Qianlong Dynasty, so what?Once Emperor Jiaqing came to power, he became the emperor's in a blink of an eye.

Minning did not dare to bet on the emperor for the situation that had been worked so hard to open up, unless she also had the right to speak in this country.

At present, I can only rely on fourth master.

The emperor left Yangzhou and continued to inspect the embankments along the Yellow River.

Minning went with him this time. After all, this was already a return journey, and it was unreasonable to leave the team.

Before leaving the Jiangnan area, no matter where the ship goes, the first and most lively event is the selection of local beauties, followed by the arrival of the holy driver.

After staying on the ship for more than ten days, I came to Shandong Province. The fleet just sailed to Dezhou. Minning received a report from Dezhou. It turned out that the news was wrong. Mei Wending had left Dezhou. I couldn't find anyone, so I wrote to tell her.

Min Ning just wanted to describe it and asked his subordinates to continue to investigate. Unexpectedly, he heard the latest news in a blink of an eye. The emperor summoned Mei Wending on the dragon boat.

She was stunned for a while, and the person who had feelings for her chased after her for a long time but failed to catch up. Was this person cut off by the emperor?

"Master, I heard that Lord Long Live invited Mr. Mei. I wonder if Lord can introduce me to Mr. Mei?" After walking out of the room, Minning stopped Fourth Master at the stern of the boat.

The fourth master was planning to take Yuanbao to the dragon boat. This trip, the emperor also brought a few young elder brothers, who were about the same age as Yuanbao, so uncles and nephews could just play together.

Hearing Minning's words, fourth master stopped in his tracks.

Yuan Bao raised his head and looked at Er Niang, hoping that Er Niang would keep him. He didn't want to play childish toy cars with his little uncles at all, he had had enough of that.

"No, how can you meet people while Khan Ama summons Mr. Mei?"

Minning clasped his hands together and begged, "Master, I didn't say I'll see you right now, but when Lord Long Live sends him ashore, can you introduce me? I admire his arithmetic very much, and I hope to discuss some academic matters with him." .”

As soon as fourth master heard this, he knew she wasn't telling the truth, so he pulled Yuan Bao to leave.

Minning held him back, "Well, to be honest, I plan to open a college, a special type of college like a medical school, which specializes in teaching mathematics, calendars and Western studies, so I would like to ask Mr. Mei if he has any The idea of ​​teaching."

The fourth master sighed, it was really not easy. This time, he finally found out what she had done from Khan Ama. After pondering for a while, he said, "You go back first, and I will ask for you."

Minning said happily, "Then I'll wait on the boat for good news from my master."

Fourth master hummed, just now he took Yuan Bao away, only to find that Yuan Bao was holding Minning's leg tightly.

The two adults were a little embarrassed, Minning asked Yuan Bao, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Bao looked at Minning aggrieved, "Emiang, I don't want to accompany my little uncle." The little uncle Yuan Bao said was the eighteenth prince, who was the same age as him, but Yuan Bao was a few months older.

Fourth Master touched his head and said, "Didn't you have a good time with little uncle yesterday?"

Yuan Bao raised his head and glanced at Ama, and continued to be wronged: "But those toys were all played with when I was a child!"

Seeing a little boy who was less than thigh high talking about her childhood, Minning let out a "puchi" laugh. She squatted down and hugged her son in her arms, and kissed him on the egg, "Baby, come with me!" Er Niang, tell me, when was your childhood?"

The fourth master at the side put on a straight face, and said to Yuan Bao, "Hong Jing, how did you promise Ama just now?"

Yuan Bao pushed Min Ning away, moved to Si Ye's side pitifully, and grabbed Si Ye's hand with one hand.

"I know, I know, what a man promises to do..."

Min Ning was so cute by her son, but she never interrupted when fourth master was educating Yuan Bao, but she still felt sorry for her son, she waved to him, "Hong Jing, Er Niang asked Sister Mo Lan to prepare it for you. Good cake, you can eat it when you come back."

Yuan Bao's troubled face suddenly dissipated, and his eyes turned into crescent moons.

Seeing the father and son getting into the boat and heading towards the dragon boat, Minning turned around and began to make some preparations.

If this master disagrees with her, she has to come up with some good things to attract people.

Minning waited for a few days until the emperor received Mei Wending three times before sending him ashore.

The ship docked at the ferry in the evening, and the emperor needed to meet local officials in Shandong.

Taking this opportunity, Fourth Master arranged for Minning to meet Mei Wending at a teahouse next to the ferry.

Sitting in the private room of the teahouse and looking down through the window, you can also see the porters and passengers picking up goods from the boat to the shore.

It's not yet May, and the weather in Shandong is still a bit cold, but these porters are all bunting, busy unloading goods up and down.

The fourth master accompanied the emperor and his party to meet the Shandong officials. Yuan Bao and the eighteenth elder brother were brought there together, and Minning had time to spare.

After waiting in the teahouse for a while, Minning saw a carriage parked below the teahouse, and soon a thin middle-aged man in his fifties got out of the carriage.

He looked a few years older than the emperor, his hair and beard were stained with hoarfrost, he was thin, but he was full of energy.Wearing a dark blue gown, he looks like a literati.

Minning probably guessed the identity of this person, and he was the guest she was waiting for.

After entering the teahouse, it didn't take long for Minning to hear the sound of going up the stairs, and soon the sound of footsteps came to her private room, someone knocked on the door, and someone went to open the door.

"Mr. May."

Minning got up and gave a blessing to Mei Wending who had just entered the door.

Mei Wending originally only knew that a noble person would come to see him, but he didn't expect it to be a woman, so he was obviously a little surprised.

"Madam, could it be that you are looking for this old man?"

Minning smiled and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Mei, please sit down."

After Mei Wending sat down, she said, "Even Long Live Lord has heard about your talent, and I heard that he personally bestowed the word "accumulated learning and learning" as a compliment."

Mei Wending just left the ship yesterday, so not many people knew about it. The woman in front of him is so well-informed, she might be a family member on the ship.

Judging from his young age, he has a lot of momentum, so his status should not be low.

It doesn't match the concubine next to the emperor, so it should be a family member of a certain prince.

Although Mei Wending hadn't guessed who Minning was, he still had some insight after living such an old age.

"It's the Lord Long Live's praise." Mei Wending first cupped his hands in the direction of the city, and then asked Minning, "I don't know why this lady is looking for the old man? The old man doesn't participate in politics and discusses with the Lord Long Live. It’s just some arithmetic and calendar.”

Minning understands that Mei Wending considers her as a certain prince who wins him over, and what he said is just to show his position, not to interfere with his position.

"Mr. misunderstood. This time I came to see Mr. as a concubine, and it has nothing to do with the concubine's husband."

Mei Wending did not relax, "Then please tell me, madam, what is the matter with this old man?" This was the second time he asked.

Minning smiled, trying to calm his nervousness.

"I know that Mr. is proficient in Western arithmetic, and is committed to revive the knowledge of calendar and arithmetic since ancient times, as well as promote the calculation of stars in the West. It's a pity that I was born late, and I haven't seen Mr.'s grand theory about calendar calculation when I was in the capital..."

Mei Wending nodded, "Madam understands it quite clearly, but the old man is just a countryman, and he has only made achievements in this heretic way. As for learning, he can't compare with the sacrificial wine in Taixue."

Minning immediately asked him, "I don't know if the master has spoken to the emperor to promote these two kinds to the Qing Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Mei Wending felt a little dejected. Twenty years ago, he was young and energetic, and with his enthusiasm, he talked about Western mathematics and legislation in the capital. Although many students wanted to learn from him, there were no What attracted the attention of the palace.

Due to the fear of his theories from the court officials, he has never been able to enter the officialdom, and can only set up libraries in Tianjin and other places to teach apprentices and study knowledge.

Later, because these knowledge could not be used to deal with stereotyped essays, gradually the students also dispersed.

Mei Wending could only go to Dezhou Fuchen Li Guangdi to write a book together.

This time the emperor traveled south to Dezhou. If Li Guangdi hadn't helped to enter the book, he might have remained unknown.

But even if he met the emperor, so what? Although the emperor he said understood and appreciated it, the emperor had no intention of promoting it at all. He only gave him a few words and asked him to step down.

Thinking of this, Mei Wending sighed a little, how many 20 years can he have to waste?This time, he already planned to return to his hometown and leave the books he had learned.

"Ma'am, what can I do with this old man? Please just tell me, the old man who can help will definitely try his best to help."

Seeing him like this, Minning couldn't understand what was going on?

This Daqing, who else can help him except her?

"Mr. Mei..." Minning personally brewed a cup of tea for him, and then spoke carefully, "Sir, you have great talent and learning, have you ever thought about passing on what you have learned?"

Mei Wending took the tea bowl, thanked him, and said, "Madam, you don't have to be so polite, I don't deserve the title of sir." Then he said: "I don't have much talent."

Minning covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Mr. Mei's talent is recognized even by the emperor, so it is naturally worthy of this title."

Mei Wending touched his beard embarrassingly and said: "I have done the matter of teaching apprentices a few years ago, and there are three or two students, but now the imperial court does not take these tests, so..."

Minning immediately understood the meaning of his words, and hurriedly said, "My concubine means that I want to sponsor Mr. to open a college. This college only teaches arithmetic and calendar. Stereotypes are also taught, but they focus more on the first two. We only choose Those who are interested in the two, if they are more willing to learn stereotyped essays, can be recommended to other colleges."

Mei Wending didn't speak, but thought.

Minning continued, "Mr. may not know that my concubine has also opened several academies, but she taught medicine. The students are all students from Xinglin and farmers. They really don't have talent in medicine and are more interested in stereotyped essays. We will help recommend other academies to continue their studies. Students who study medicine will arrange employment after graduation to solve future life problems."

Mei Wending was a little moved. Those apprentices he taught might not want to take the imperial examination. They just gave up studying mathematics and calendars for their future life.

Unlike him, these students have land and property at home to satisfy him to continue his research.

Some people are really talented in the calendar, but it is a pity that they gave up in vain. If someone is really willing to help him open a school, continue to study these knowledge, and solve the problem of the apprentice's food, that would be great.

But is there really such a fool?

Mei Wending asked dubiously, "The amount of money to open an academy is not a small amount. Madam is really willing to pay for such useless research?"

Minning smiled, "How could it be useless? For example, mathematics is commonly used in daily life. Mr. Mei may not know that there are many industries under the name of my concubine, and many of these industries involve knowledge of mathematics, such as shipbuilding and machine building. It is based on the experience of the old masters, which can be digitized and taught to young people, so that young people can also apply it after the meeting. It is better than some intangible and invisible experiences that are brought into the ground.”

Mei Wending was excited, stood up and bowed, "If Madam is really willing to help, then I will thank you here."

Minning got up and hurriedly helped him up, "Sir, there is no need to be so polite. I admire the folk masters like you the most. You study these profound knowledge by yourself. This is how many treasures are passed down. It is a pity that the current The imperial court couldn’t see these, and they didn’t even look at them simply because they came from Western learning.”

Mei Wending has a deep understanding of this point. The little fireworks he had set off in the capital before were extinguished by Confucianism.

In these years, he just thought of writing books because he couldn't see any hope, and passed on what he learned to future generations.

After the two agreed, they began to discuss the address.

"Why don't you just settle in Xuanzhou, your hometown?"

Mei Wending himself vetoed it, "It's better to put it in Tianjin. Tianjin is the hometown of my friend Li Guangdi. Not only is it close to the capital, but most of my apprentices are also in Tianjin." Although Xuanzhou is his hometown, local officials don't care. His face.

Minning agreed as soon as he heard it, and if he put it in another place, he was afraid that the local officials would be annihilated.The Manchu and Qing Dynasties are all Confucian scholars, and Confucianism and missionaries are naturally hostile, and they have not lost their verbal battles in recent years.

The foreigners who have been officials in the capital these years, if not for the protection of the emperor, would have been driven out of the capital by the officials.

"I'm going to build a large-scale astronomical observatory to observe celestial bodies." In this era, the astronomical instruments in the imperial palace were no less than those in foreign observatories. If these missionaries wanted to come to the Qing Dynasty to preach, they had to show their skills to convince the emperor. This is how tools and knowledge are passed on.

It's a pity that although the emperor had insights, although he learned Confucian culture from an early age, he didn't value these foreign things.

Unlike Minning who came from the future, he naturally understands how important this knowledge is.

What's more, the knowledge tools brought by those missionaries are only accessories, and their most important task is to preach.

The theories propagated by missionaries are fiercely opposed to Confucianism. Back then, when the emperor was young, those missionaries in the palace were almost beheaded by the courtiers. If it wasn’t for the earthquake that proved Tang Ruowang’s calendar would be even more Accurate, then he can't escape that disaster.

It’s just that since then, Qing officials have become more repellent towards Western theories, not only against Western theories, but even Mei Wending’s behavior of integrating Western theories into the ancient calendar has been suppressed.

Minning was a little thankful, thankful that he produced the newspaper first, set the tone, and those literati had to accept it.

Later, the medical school only brought in western equipment, opened the door to the new world, and immediately bluffed those Chinese medicine practitioners. Only then did some enterprising Chinese medicine practitioners study Western medicine.However, Western medicine is too weak, and even the Black Death has not been eradicated. Naturally, Minning dare not let people absorb it comprehensively, and only select a few outstanding ones to absorb into Chinese medicine.

As for Zhuangzi, most of them are craftsmen who have never read a book. Since Minning said to study whatever he wanted to study, even if he learned calligraphy later, the books he learned were knowledge about craftsmen, and he had no experience of Confucianism, otherwise she would have to cry.

Now she understands a little bit, no wonder so many good things in the palace have not been handed out, it is not the emperor's unwillingness, but the civil literati's resistance.

Otherwise, Minning would not have allowed it to be turned into a commodity. The emperor never blamed it.

Minning began to think deeply. If she reformed in the future, she would definitely be resisted by Confucianism. Why don't she learn from what the Taizu did in the past, and have a Cultural Revolution or send the educated youth to the countryside?Anyone who opposes it will be sent to reform through labor?

After the agreement was made, Minning sent Mei Wending away. He said that he would write to other apprentices to build this academy together.

After seeing off the people, Minning went around the pier in Dezhou again, thinking about the business opportunities here.

Well, it has almost become her occupational disease.

When you arrive at a certain place, you have to investigate which local industries can be gathered together?

Dezhou is close to Hejian Prefecture in Zhili Province. In the past, it was Tianjin. Hejian Prefecture is full of martial arts. What good ideas does Minning have for martial arts? After all, in modern society, Kung Fu has become a performance, unlike Kung Fu today. It's real kung fu, it can kill people!

Minning thought about it, and finally chose to put this question aside until he remembered it later.

After staying in the area of ​​Shandong for more than ten days, I finally rushed back to the capital at the end of the month.

After returning home, Minning felt how intimate the scenery that he was tired of watching was.

As a result, within a few days, the emperor made another tour of the north, planning to build a summer resort in Rehe.But this time it is very likely to stay in Mongolia for a while, and it is even possible to go to the Outer Mongolia Exchange.

What else can Minning do?

Naturally, it is to keep up. The mutual market is her most important project at present, so she will naturally go to inspect it again.

This time, I didn't bring two Gege with me, because I was afraid of the long journey, so I even sent the ingots to the palace to let Concubine De take care of her for a while.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the holy driver set off. Not far from Beijing, Minning suddenly found the convoy stopped.

This is her own carriage, with springs installed underneath, so it doesn't bump at all.

After the car stopped, she didn't know until fourth master came over.

"Master, what's going on outside?" She said as she poured fourth master a cup of tea from the small stove next to her.

Fourth Master didn't want to drink hot ones, so he put the cup aside, Minning scooped a piece of ice from a small bucket next to him and put it into the tea bowl, then mixed some honey and orange zest.

Fourth Master waited for the ice to melt before taking it in. He drank the warm water into his stomach, and the sweet and sour taste dissipated the heat in his heart.

"It's not that there is a missionary named Doro from the capital, who interferes with the Puritan people in the church not to respect Confucius and worship ancestors, and even regards some folk customs as heresy. It's simply ignorant!"

Minning's heart skipped a beat. He had only thought about missionaries some time ago, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Didn't those missionaries learn a lesson from what happened in the Ming Dynasty?

After the death of Matteo Ricci, those radical missionaries were expelled by the Ming Dynasty because they opposed Chinese customs and interfered in the Ming Dynasty's government. Could it be that they will come again this time?

This is not the West. Theocracy is above the monarchy, and you can do whatever you want. Doing this here is simply courting death!

Those successful missionaries and the Manchu nobles have reached an agreement that if they want to preach, they can, as long as they follow Matteo Ricci's rules and must not touch the culture of the entire Central Plains.

Back then, there were people who would rather die than shave their hair.

"Grandpa, what does Long live Lord say?"

Minning is not worried about those missionaries, what she is worried about is her own property, many of which are based on Western knowledge, and she does not want everything to be pushed out by the emperor.

No need to think about it, Minning knew that the winner this time must be Confucianism.

The Manchus were originally a foreign race. If they want to control the ruling power in a legitimate way, they have to follow Confucianism, saying that the world is justified.

Some behaviors of the missionaries in the previous dynasty had long made Confucianists unhappy, but this time they simply handed over their own handles to the other party.

It's no wonder those Confucians didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury!

"Khan Ama has sent an edict to Doro, asking him to clarify the regulations first, so that future generations will abide by the laws and not violate them. From now on, only those who come from the West will not return will be allowed to live in the interior. If this year comes next year Go, such people are not allowed to live."

Min Ning understood, it was simply telling the other party, to clarify the rules first, if you mess up again, walk slowly!

Although Westerners were welcome, and even welcomed to serve as officials in the imperial court, they were not used to him.

Unlike the people who worshiped foreigners and fawned on foreigners after the period of humiliation in later generations, foreigners at this time were just barbarians to the people of the Central Plains.

Even if the emperor allowed missionaries to serve as officials, the rights and influence of missionaries were limited to Gyeonggi.

Minning was a little lucky, fortunately the emperor stopped the literati first, and put a curse on those missionaries. Those who did not abide by the rules of Lishi would go back and forth from wherever they came!

In this way, there will be no impact on her property.
