Wang Zheng looked at the books Wang Hongyu picked out and said in surprise: "A Map of World Cities", "Ship of Fools", "Four Books on Architecture" and "The Prince"."
These four books are amazing as soon as I take them out.
Jinni Ge looked at four books about cities and architecture, and they were not too thick. My student Wang Zheng could translate them while studying. The other two books..."
His Gandalf-like face also fell into deep thought. While stroking the two books, he lamented that although the man and the ship were short, it was difficult to translate. These poems were not so easy to understand...
As for "The Prince"... Haha, when I brought it over, some people still questioned it and felt that such a book should not be circulated."
Wang Hongyu said with calm eyes that before Chiavelli wrote "The Prince", he witnessed the glory and changes of Florence. It was not easy to write this book. This book is very thick, so I need you to translate it slowly.
As for "Ship of Fools", I believe it will be an interesting fantasy adventure book when translated. This is not meant to be disrespectful, because most people in Europe will feel the same way."
Jinnige had no choice but to laugh a few times, Mr. Erjin, every time we talk, people will admire your knowledge and mind. Although you don’t believe in our Lord, this insight is much more valuable than believing in it.”
He had been horrified by what he saw, heard and said, and then was attracted by his plan to support the Roman side. At this time, he didn't find it too strange that Wang Hongyu casually told the creative background of "The Prince".
Wang Zheng is very interested in geometry, mechanics and architecture. He read the "Four Books on Architecture" and saw the appearance of Roman stone buildings, and was attracted by its application of mechanics. He also looked at the "World Cities Map" and marveled at the interest of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Wang Hongyu has already prepared a construction team in Beijing and wants to lead the development of the construction industry in the future. Local talents like Wang Zheng must be reused.
After getting these two books, Wang Zheng quickly started translating them.
Wang Hongyu also wants to arrange for the Capital Mobile Library to hold an event in Baoding, not only to build some reputation, but also to warm up the "Zhuoer Bookstore" to be established.
Not long after the two left, Francis Bi, a missionary from Naples, walked up to Jinnige. After seeing that no one was around, he asked, "A few people in the team were tired of the endless work and long journeys, and even questioned Tolkien." Sir, what should we do?"
"Hot-blooded Bi Fanji, what do you think?" Jinnige asked him first.
"Me? Of course I believe Wang Hongyu. He reminded Hao Jing'ao to beware of the Dutch. After his reminder, we caught several Dutch spies. He must be our friend, not the Dutch. ."
Hao Jing'ao is Macau. Wang Hongyu previously claimed that he knew both Chinese and Western things. The reason he gave was that he had relatives and elders in his family who had done business in Hao Jing'ao.
As a serious martial arts practitioner, I know more than the pirates Zheng Yiguan and Liu Xiang. This is a very normal thing.
Regardless of whether foreigners believe it or not, there are benefits to believing in it anyway.
Because he helped them "drive away" the Dutch.
Jinni Ge also thinks so and is wrong. Of course, such doubts can exist, because existence is the result of inevitable development. But we cannot let these doubts influence the results."
"too naive!"
Someone suddenly satirized them in Latin.
Looking back, I saw it was Long Huamin.
He can be regarded as a conservative missionary, more stubborn than Matteo Ricci before him and Jin Nige behind him. He has never paid much attention to Wang Hongyu's cooperation plan and only knows how to attract believers.
But what is surprising is that he eventually joined Wang Hongyu's mobile library.
Jin Nige just responded with a smile to his sarcasm. He is the awe-inspiring Long Huamin. After all, my role as the leader of missionaries in China is a bit heavy. Should I return it to Mr. Long Huamin?"
These words were very polite, and considering Jin Nige's character, they were definitely not meant to be sarcastic, but Long Huamin sounded a little unhappy.
"It doesn't have to be like this... Mr. Jinnigo should be careful not to be deceived by Tolkien. I heard from some people in the capital that he has tricked some officials."
Long Huamin had been in Ming Dynasty for a long time, so he naturally accumulated more connections and heard the evaluation of Wang Hongyu by civil servants.
But Jinnige doesn't care about rumors and trusts what is actually done. Are they those officials who talk high-minded but have no logic? That's a good trap. Tolkien is much more flexible than them, and he really helped us, otherwise he would be
Drive out of the capital."
"But shouldn't I leave the capital now?"
The communication between the two had the flavor of a debate, which was their favorite way of communication, and they did not mean to attack each other.
It is true that Long Huamin was soon outcompeted by Jinnige in terms of development in China. In order to make the mission better, he gave up his position as the missionary leader.
But now he felt that he was being led astray by "Tolkien" and Jinnige, so he came forward to raise objections.
Bi Fangji listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't quite agree with Long Huamin's conservatism.
"Mr. BiFrancis, do Neapolitans seem to be so passionate and impulsive? I, a Sicilian, don't speak without thinking like your neighbor.
If you think about it carefully, Wang Hongyu must have very few elite soldiers, and he cannot help Rome." Long Huamin's tone seemed to be 100% certain.
"This...why is Mr. Long Huamin so sure?" Bi Fangji was a little surprised by Long Huamin's confidence.
"The number of elite soldiers like the Ming Dynasty must be very small, so the war is unfavorable. These few elite soldiers stay with us to make us think that the Ming Dynasty is very strong."
There was a hint of triumphant cunning in Long Huamin's eyes. His words made Bi Fangji dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"Ahem~"
Jin Nige, who was quiet on the side, coughed lightly... Mr. Long Huamin, we are people who value logic, and the conclusion just now is not logically tenable..."
?
Long Huamin looked at Jinnige and motioned to him to tell him why his logic couldn't stand up.
He looks like Gandalf and Dumbledore's Ginny, but suddenly his demeanor and wisdom are like those two. It's a simple logic. Poker cards are indeed red and black, but there are only red and black in the world.
in conclusion."
What does this mean?
Bi Fanji was confused. Although they were both missionaries, there were many reasons why Long Huamin and Jin Nige became the leaders.
One of them is that both of them have very high degrees and have been tutors in European universities. They have in-depth research on philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, geography and theology, and they are highly educated talents that Rome can use.
Therefore, when discussing, we need to bring out some skills.
