Zhu Yunxi's expression became more solemn.
Kaifeng captured a group of feudal ghosts, that is, foreigners.
These people are not surprising in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, but they sneaked into the Central Plains, apparently related to the Yishi Leye Sect. After being caught, they did not reveal their identities and had several people killed by the Kaifeng Prefecture before they took out their credentials.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
How could they find the place without anyone to guide them or translate them? Who provided them with this?
In this era, no one cared about the problems of foreign adults. Not to mention how many died, even if they all died in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, it was just one more grave in a mass grave. But with credentials, local officials had to
Pay attention to.
"Which country's credentials are there?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Li Zhigang said, "The Emperor is from Franji, and he is bringing the credentials of the Pope of the Kingdom of God!" After saying that, he paused and said, "The letter has been sent to the Ministry of Rites. I and the previous Dynasty left it for the Yuan Dynasty to communicate with the West."
The documents correspond to each other and do not appear to be forgeries." As he said this, he put his hand into his sleeves and said, "This is the credential brought by the Nafangji people. Please see it for your Majesty's Majesty..."
The so-called certificate of credence is actually a bit tattered, but it is not heavy in the hand. It should be made of parchment. It has the same symbols as twists on it, and it must be Latin.
Fo Langji is a name passed down from the Yuan Dynasty to Europeans. It is recorded in the history of the Yuan Dynasty that in the autumn of the second year of Zhizheng, Fo Langji paid tribute to foreign horses...
Although the Yuan Dynasty had all its shortcomings, it was definitely the most open dynasty in Chinese history. No matter where you came from or what kind of god you believed in, you could come as long as you paid taxes. Not only could you come, you could also settle down and preach, etc.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had only been in power for thirty years, and many old events from the previous dynasty were still vivid in their minds. The officials in the court also knew a lot about overseas countries and had evidence to rely on.
If in a few years, these histories are sealed in the high cabinets, I am afraid that the people of the world will have a dark eye on the outside world. And with the growth of national power, the theory of the heavenly empire has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from the emperor to the ministers, they will have no idea about the outside world.
I don't care anymore.
"This must be the missionary!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the obscure and difficult-to-understand credential in his hand and thought to himself, "This is more than a hundred years earlier than Matteo Ricci in the original time and space. It is not the Age of Discovery yet, how can these people...?"
Thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and couldn't help but pat his forehead.
Western envoys such as the Pope, envoys from the Kingdom of Naples, French, and Germans have come here more than once during the Yuan Dynasty. From Kublai Khan to Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, it is nothing unusual to come here now.
But Zhu Yunxi felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Moreover, there is still a difficult problem before him. Are these so-called envoys seen or not? Should they be sent to the capital?
If not, the fate of these people will be a slap in the face.
If so, what kind of etiquette should be used to meet him?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunxi still felt that he could see it.
Not only must we meet, but we must meet with great fanfare.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
First of all, as the national power of the Ming Dynasty has increased in recent years, a saying among scholars, especially those famous Neo-Confucianists, has become increasingly popular.
"The way to govern a country respects etiquette and not power. The fundamental way lies in people's hearts and not in skills!"
This statement is highly recognized by officials in the DPRK and China, and it is also very popular.
We can use these so-called envoys to give the courtiers a geographical science education and let them see clearly the difference between the world and the world. At the same time, since these people come from thousands of miles away, whether they are by boat or by land, they must have
Map?
With the map, the Ming Dynasty could, in the name of escorting envoys back, treat it as a visit. This kind of official development effect was far more than a hundred times that of the private sector.
The arrival of these people can be a good opportunity to fully relax the maritime ban.
The next hundred years will be the most turbulent time in human history. The Age of Discovery will once again shorten the distance between the East and the West, and it will also bring huge wealth.
In addition to wealth, what is more important is to broaden the horizons of the Chinese people and use facts to change the traditional scholar-officials' view of the world.
It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have such opportunities in history, but it was abolished by itself. The civil servants were stuck in their ways, and the emperors who were better than women and eunuchs also had a blind eye and did not know anything.
The so-called Celestial Kingdom relied on the inertia of history to maintain its hegemonic status. Until the Manchu and Qing dynasties later, when Westerners came like wolves and tigers after the sedimentation of the great voyage, they could no longer resist it.
.
Being unable to resist does not mean that your skills are inferior to others.
What is even more frightening is that they are unwilling to open their eyes to see the world and to understand it.
He was just like the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a master of Neo-Confucianism, and a leader among scholars in the world.
He actually said to Emperor Tongzhi, "There are many countries in the world. Most of them are England, France, Russia, and Spain. The other countries are all made up by the Westernizationists to deceive the Emperor!"
Look, if the emperor's teachers are so ignorant as to be virtuous, then how far behind will this country be?
Being behind is not terrible, what is terrible is not changing.
"How many of those envoys are left?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"There are seventeen people in total, and there are still six left!" Li Zhigang said.
"Send them to the capital, and find Langzhong Haosheng to take care of those who are sick along the way!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "If you stay at inns along the way, you will be given rice and grain according to the treatment of a seventh-rank official!"
As he spoke, his tone suddenly became stern, "Also, go and find out who led these people to the Central Plains and how they got here. Find out for me and all those involved will be sent to the capital!"
At this point, he paused again and said, "I will write this in hand to He Guangyi soon and ask him to mobilize a team of Jinyi guards to cooperate with you!"
"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Li Zhigang was afraid of having nothing to do. As long as he had something to do, he would be happy even if it was to investigate his biological father.
Then, he raised his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing!"
"Say!" Zhu Yunxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Not long ago, in Qufu, Shandong Province, some Lehu who were released as good citizens sued Yanshenggong Mansion for occupying people's fields, and the result has been achieved!" Li Zhigang said, "It is indeed true, but such a thing is not the same.
"
As he spoke, he added, "After being born as a public saint, but not cultivating the virtues of a saint, all the land in the village is taken and requested by the Yan Sheng Gong family, and the villagers are all tenants and slaves. They only know about the Yan Sheng Gong but not the court!"
"The descendants of saints enjoy glory in the name of saints, but they don't even have half of the virtues of their ancestors. How can they talk about being a saint?" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Publish the decree, and from now on the Confucian family will be relieved of the hereditary county magistrate position in Qufu.
, find out the amount of land that has been occupied, and return it to the people, as well as the people's wealth and money that have been occupied over the years. All those involved in the case will be imprisoned, and whether they should be beheaded or exiled, the Span will decide and punish them!"
"All honors of the Confucius family will be cancelled. From now on, the annual ceremony to commemorate Confucius will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College. The title of Yanshenggong... will be removed!"
"emperor!"
Li Zhigang suddenly said, "I think it's inappropriate to deal with it like this?"
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Why, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, I just feel that this way of handling it is a bit..." Li Zhigang thought for a moment and smiled, "It's a bit too hasty, too fast!"
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
