Liu Zheng seemed to have known that Rhodes had this expression for a long time, he laughed and said: "Why, don't tell me, you don't know."
Rhodes hesitated, looking troubled.
In fact, Liu Zheng's meaning is very simple.
As his power becomes more and more powerful, he needs to know more about this world. There are several reasons. First, the situation of the Longyan Dynasty has always been like this for the time being. If he was still waiting before
After Xie Tianyao's death, he could do something. But now, he has decided to use morphine to hang up Xie Tianyao's half-life. Therefore, a conservative estimate is that he can give himself nearly another year of development time.
Second, from all aspects, including Rhodes and others who came to Longyan with the "Geographical Discovery", including the decline of the Arab Empire, the rise of the Ottoman Empire... and other history
Factors can be calculated. This time was in the 16th and 17th centuries of later generations.
To put it simply, this time happened to be the great geographical discovery, that is, the late period of the Age of Discovery.
The great geographical discovery not only promoted the development of capitalism, but also greatly promoted the progress of science and technology. Since navigation required solving many practical problems, astronomy, mathematics, and even medicine almost all took off during this period.
so......
The world structure has reached the late stage of the Age of Discovery, but looking at Long Yan, science and technology are almost stagnant, and the business model is almost dull.
Liu Zheng couldn't wait any longer. This was the third reason why he couldn't wait to learn more about this world.
He went all out to capture Liangshan for this purpose.
He wants to build this place into his own chemical laboratory, chemical factory, and medical research institution!
This goal is by no means small.
Therefore, he needs more talents in this field. Obviously, it is unrealistic to find such people in the Longyan Dynasty. He can only look to the whole world!
In this regard, he must be at the forefront!
"Sir, I..."
Rhodes had been in Liangzhou for so long, how could he not know that this Liu Zhizhou was extremely ambitious, but, he never thought that his vision could actually see the whole world - this was something he could see in the Longyan Dynasty.
I have almost never met such a person.
Liu Zheng chuckled, poured him a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Tell me...why don't you let me guess?"
Rhodes looked confused.
Liu Zheng knew that a missionary like him was still very firm in his faith. If he wanted to pry his mouth open, he would have to find a way from this aspect. He smiled faintly: "The French Religious War should have changed your Christianity in Europe.
The dominance has led you missionaries who support the Holy See to start a global... well, start a long journey to pursue the God in your hearts, right?"
"You, you, you..."
Rhodes was startled, sweating profusely, and looked at Liu Zheng in disbelief.
Among the entire Long Yan, I am afraid that even three people who know the history of Europe cannot surpass... Long Yan is still dreaming of the Kingdom of Heaven... Even if Liu Zhizhou's business reaches Europe,
But knowing so much still shocked Rhodes.
That's right.
Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that there has not been much deviation in world history. From the 15th to the 16th century, the Italian War broke out in Europe. From that time, the Holy Roman Empire began to decline. The Catholic rule of Europe,
It began to falter. In the sixteenth century, some religious scientists, philosophers and politicians tried to change the customs and habits of Western European Catholicism in breadth and depth. This began with the religious reform movement launched by the Augustinian priest Martin Luther.
In response, the Counter-Reformers reformed the Catholic Church, but did not further reform its teachings. In the second half of the 16th century, eight wars broke out between the Protestant Huguenots and Catholics in France, known in history as
French Wars of Religion.
The decline of Catholicism in Europe began, and the Ottoman Empire rose during this stage. By the seventeenth century, the Ottoman navy had completely controlled the Mediterranean.
At this time...
In fact, it should be the most exciting in the world.
Spain and Portugal made their debut and then declined. The Netherlands and Great Britain began to rise. The Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution followed... It was so lively, how could you not take part in it?
