Chapter 74 Foreigners will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and shelter
The Ginni Pavilion brought so many books, but most of them were in Latin, Spanish or German or French.
The original plan was to teach people at the same time to learn foreign languages, and then gradually translate them into Chinese to achieve the effect of dissemination and communication.
It just so happened that Wang Hongyu had a friend who had to learn Latin to study biology, and Wang Hongyu also knew a little bit about it.
But it’s not that convenient after all.
It’s best to let the missionaries translate it themselves~
Now that Wanli has passed away, the power of traditional scholar-officials such as the Donglin Party has greatly increased, and it is impossible to continue to tolerate these foreigners staying in the capital.
This is a contradiction.
It just so happens that I can "roll out my wool" again.
"I have important news that I can reveal to you in advance."
Wang Hongyu always brought important news, and foreigners felt that his hands and eyes were astute, and those who knew Chinese would come over and listen attentively.
"Just a reminder, this is very bad news...a group of new officials who have come to power are going to drive you out of the capital."
"Ah? Alas..." Long Huamin sighed.
"Why is this still happening?" The missionaries were helpless.
Only Jinnige's face, which looked like Gandalf's, still looked wise and steady.
"Mr. Jinnige, is there any way you can stay in the capital?"
Looking at Wang Hongyu's warm smile, Jinnige responded with a polite smile: "I can't help it, but Mr. Wang Hongyu can, right?"
"oh?"
"Do you know me?" Wang Hongyu has never revealed his name in front of foreigners in order to maintain a sense of mystery.
"I know now~" Jinnige leaned closer and whispered, with a bit of a bad smile on his face, more like an old wizard.
Being tricked by this guy's little plan, Wang Hongyu chuckled, took a step back, and kept a safe distance.
However, Jin Nige came over mysteriously and whispered: "Don't worry, no one else knows except me. Bao Lu, also known as Xu Guangqi, only told me about your existence. He said that we can get together."
Well...Jinnige is indeed different from Long Huamin and others. He has a better understanding of the potential power of the Ming Dynasty and has great respect and affection for Chinese history and culture.
"Wang Xiaoyou is brave and careful, and he is a knowledgeable person who can do really big things. Together with Bao Lu and others, we can communicate the science, technology and culture of the East and the West, allowing Ming Dynasty to increase its influence in the world. We will gain allies, and you will also gain a lot.
and expand its impact.”
Jin Nige spoke Chinese very quickly and in a low voice. No one else could hear him clearly except Wang Hongyu in front of him.
Missionaries are not monolithic. For example, Jinnige can become friends who exchange science and technology and connect the East and the West.
Wang Hongyu had already thought about this and said to him with a sense of mystery: "Seventy years ago, Shaliu built the first bridge of communication; 30 years ago, Matteo Ricci found an effective communication method... However, these are all
not enough."
Jinnige sighed and said: "I followed Matteo Ricci to learn about the Ming Dynasty and the East. I aspired to become a diplomatic ambassador and greatly expanded trade and scientific and technological exchanges. However, I encountered many difficulties. Even Matteo Ricci's past achievements were difficult to achieve.
Already..."
"In fact, just change your thinking... Matteo Ricci was flexible and adjusted the idea of monks back then. However, Matteo Ricci's experience can also be adjusted~"
After listening to Wang Hongyu's words, Jin Nige's eyes lit up and he was suddenly inspired.
"Ahem!"
Long Huamin, who was waiting on the sidelines, deliberately coughed twice to express his dissatisfaction with Jin Nige and Wang Hongyu's private chat for too long.
"Mr. Long Huamin, the civil servants will ask you to leave soon. I have a way to make you stay and translate the books."
Speaking of this, Long Huamin also became interested: "What is the solution?"
"Work, work in my workshop. This way you are no longer missionaries, but working people~"
The missionaries who could understand Chinese were stunned again.
"Foreigners will never be slaves~" an impatient Neapolitan missionary rushed to answer.
"It's impossible to work part-time~" Long Huamin also shook his head.
Suddenly, a missionary hurried in and started chattering. The faces of Long Huamin and others suddenly darkened, and then they became more and more panicked as they listened, and finally became dejected.
Wang Hongyu smiled secretly, he had received the news from his uncle a long time ago, so he calculated the time and came here first~
Jinni Pavilion was still as steady as Gandalf and Dumbledore, and calmly translated to Wang Hongyu: "We have been officially notified that we are not allowed to preach in the capital, let alone influence officials and people here."
Seeing that Long Huamin and others were discouraged, he simply persuaded them to accept Wang Hongyu's suggestion.
After saying that, everyone looked at Long Huamin's face.
"Now we have to listen to Jinnige and follow his advice."
"Okay." Jin Nige did his part: "There are no special arrangements for the next step. You can go to Haojing'ao, you can go to the home of an enlightened scholar-official in Jiangnan, or you can work with him..."
Jinnige looked at Wang Hongyu.
Although he was young, his eyes were full of wisdom and he could not see through his thoughts at all. However, after hearing Xu Guangqi’s introduction, he felt that it was worth getting to know him personally. After this meeting, he had a feeling that if he cooperated with this person, he could achieve Billy
Matthew had far greater achievements.
"What do you want us to work for?"
"There are many, such as making glass, making soap, stockings and high heels, and translating books~"
Hearing Wang Hongyu say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid of being found for firearms, but now they are doing glass, soap, stockings, high heels and translating books, which is a good job~
The impatient "What's the treatment?"
"Food and accommodation are included. As a worker, I can stay, earn some money, and do exchanges according to my plan."
"Oh yeah!"
The impetuous Neapolitan missionary shouted in Chinese: "Foreigners will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter!"
"It smells so good~" Long Huamin also smiled.
"Part-time job~part-time job~"
The missionaries were as excited as children, cheering to become migrant workers.
When other people travel through time, they invent and create things by themselves and do it from beginning to end. They are more hands-on than Zhuge Kongming.
But come to me~
That is to let foreigners come to work and give them "wool wool", glass, soap, silk stockings and other luxuries.
"Mr. Wang, you'd better choose a foreign name so that we can address you easily."
Jin Nige's voice was very low. Although the missionaries would find out about his life, Wang Hongyu, sooner or later, he did not intend to take the initiative to talk about it.
"Well... let's call it Tolkien~"
"Tolkien? That's a good name."
Jinnige could tell it was unusual from this name: "By the way, Mr. Tolkien, you just talked about the translation work, how do you do this?"
"I will tell you a story. It will definitely be a best-selling novel. You translate it into Latin, Spanish, French and other languages and it will sell well in Europe. Then we will split it 50-50."
"It's bound to be a hot seller? What's the name of this book?"
