Yun then stood in the cubicle thinking for a while and then left the restaurant.
When he walked out of the restaurant door, he saw Min'er standing in front of the jewelry store talking to someone from a distance. But they must have been talking for a while, and Min'er said something to the two of them again, and the two of them took their leave.
, Miner waved goodbye to them.
"Min'er, have you met anyone who comes to this store to pick out jewelry?" Yun walked up to Min'er and said with a smile.
"It's Tang Sai'er and her mother from Uncle Wang's Mansion in Runan. They also came to this shop to choose jewelry, and they happened to meet each other and chatted for a few words." Min'er said.
After saying this, she frowned and said: "Dad, when I was chatting with Sai'er just now, I heard that their family comes to this store several times a year to buy jewelry. My daughter thinks this is not normal. Her father Tang Jingyu's salary
Although the price is high, the jewelry in the Li family's store is not cheap, and it is still very difficult for the Tang family to buy it. The daughter also noticed that the clothes worn by Tang Saier and her mother were also made of high-end materials and were changed frequently. Dad,
Their family’s life is too luxurious, which is different from other families of similar financial status.”
In the past, Tang Sai'er was young and didn't understand these things; now that he is a few years older, he also knows how his family spends money on weekdays, and because several close friends spend money like this, he doesn't think there is anything wrong at all. Just chatting
She said it when she was young. Although Min'er was very naughty, she was also very smart and immediately realized something was abnormal.
"Perhaps their family is such a spendthrift." Yun said. Of course, the Tang family and several other suspected White Lotus believers' spendthrifts could not escape Jin Yiwei's attention, and Jin Yiwei was also very confused about this. But this did not
As evidence that they are White Lotus cultists.
"Maybe." Min'er said, suddenly remembered something, and said to Yun: "Dad, my daughter suddenly remembered that five years ago, my daughter went to the Runan Palace with you, met Tang Saier, and asked dad to
Send her to your daughter as a reading companion. Daddy, you said that after five years, if your daughter still wants Tang Saier to be beside her daughter to read as a companion, summon her into the palace. Now five years have passed, daddy, you
It’s time to fulfill your promise.”
"This," Yun hesitated.
"Dad, my daughter is already seventeen this year and can't stay in the palace for a few more years. She just wants a companion to read to. Isn't dad willing to satisfy his daughter?" Min'er suddenly said pitifully.
Seeing her expression and what she said seemed to be true, Yun immediately softened his heart. "When I went to Nanyang and passed by Suzhou at the beginning of the year, I didn't find that Tang Jingyu and others were in contact with the Dan family in Suzhou. They haven't found any in the past eight years."
Any evidence that they are White Lotus cultists can be considered as my initial suspicion was wrong.' Yun thought like this and nodded in agreement to Min'er's request: "In a few years, I will summon Tang Sai'er into the palace to be your companion.
"
"Thank you, dad." Min'er immediately thanked him happily, but then said, "Dad, we have to wait until after the new year."
"Of course we have to wait until after the New Year. Don't you want to spend the New Year with your family? Especially when Tang Jingyu left the capital at the beginning of the year and will not be able to return until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, doesn't Tang Saier want to spend a few more days with his father? You should also consider his family's wishes.
Feelings. Even if Tang Saier is willing to be your companion, he will not be willing to enter the palace these days."
"Besides, when you leave the palace in the future, you can announce that she will come to your home to see you, and there is no rush in these few days." Yun finally said.
"My daughter knows." Min'er heard what her father said was reasonable and could only agree.
"It's getting late. We should go back to the palace." After Yun said this, he saw that the time was almost noon. Min'er also knew not to go back too late, so she and her father found Wen Qi and others who were wandering around.
, got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
"Dad, what did you say for so long when you saw those lewd men? My daughter has come out of the shop for a while and she hasn't seen you back yet." On the carriage, Min'er remembered this and asked again.
Hearing Min'er's words, Wen Qi, who happened to be sitting next to her, pulled her sleeve. He didn't know the cause and effect, but instinctively felt that his father's meeting with the lewd person might be related to government affairs, so they had better not ask more questions. Min'er
After his reminder, he realized that although she was smart, she was a woman after all, and her political sensitivity was lower than that of Wen Qi. She knew she shouldn't ask, but since she couldn't take it back, she just made up her mind: if her father mentioned anything related to government affairs,
Just say a few perfunctory words about the matter.
"I just talked about how they feel about the Ming Dynasty after living in the Ming Dynasty for these years, and which one they think is better, the capital city or the big city of Fu." Yun said.
"What do they think?" Wen Qi felt that this sentence should not involve government affairs and asked.
"They all think that the capital is much better than the big cities in Fu, the people of Ming Dynasty live and work more peacefully than the people of Fu, and the country of Ming Dynasty is more prosperous than Fu." Yun said with a smile.
"It is assumed that what they told is the truth and they did not beautify their hometown." Min'er said.
"How can they beautify their hometown in front of me? And although it is their hometown, Clavijo will definitely live in the Ming Dynasty for a long time in the future, and most likely the same will be true for Brunevsky and Donatello. The capital will be
Their second hometown will naturally not beautify their original hometown." Yun said with a smile.
"Dad, haven't you already ordered that no one in the Ming Dynasty is allowed to call Fu and other places by their original names, but why are there still people calling Fu Europe, and dad doesn't punish me?" Min'er asked again.
"These people who still call Fu "Europe" are all lustful people from Fu. When they talked to each other in private, or when they met with their father, they accidentally said the word "Europe". My father thought that they could be more tolerant. Of course, this is just
"It's for the Semu people from Fu." Yun explained. They said that they are used to saying "Europe", and they also use the word "Europe" in private conversations. It is also normal to say the word "Europe" when they are emotional in front of themselves, such as just now.
Donatello and Borunevsky should not be criticized harshly. Of course, gradually all Semu people coming from the West will have to accept the Ming Dynasty’s standard titles.
"This is what my father said to them at the beginning. Later, they talked about the impact of heliocentric theory on Fu's cross religion. When his father saw his eyes flashing, he thought his words were untrue, so he dismissed both Clavio and Donatello.
After he was sent away, I questioned him and learned that there were already Christian missionaries who came to the Ming Dynasty pretending to be part of the envoy team of the Kingdom of Castile."
"Father should expel this missionary immediately; Castile should also punish it, expelling their envoy this time, and warn that if missionaries are allowed to come among the envoy team again, they will not be allowed to enter the Ming Dynasty.
"Wen Qi said immediately. Although this matter involves government affairs, Yun's attitude towards the cross religion has always been very firm. Wen Qi and his brothers have also been popularized about the harm of monotheistic religions to the political power, so Wen Qi immediately said this. Not only
It was him, and Wen Kun and others also spoke out to support Wen Qi's words.
"It is easy to expel this missionary from the Ming Dynasty, and it is also easy to punish the Castilian country, but this does not completely solve the problem." Yun said. The trade routes have been opened, and in the future, the maritime trade routes will also be opened.
As long as the trade routes are open, Christian missionaries can come to the Ming Dynasty quietly at any time. After all, missionaries will not put words on their foreheads to identify themselves. Although there are checkpoints prohibiting non-messengers from entering the east of Hami,
They were prohibited from leaving Shibosi on the southeast coast, but just as Master Xuanzang was able to illegally pass through the border of the Tang Empire to go to India to learn Buddhist scriptures, as long as they were willing, there was always a way to bypass the checkpoints and reach the eastern region.
Yun was not worried about the spread in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The Semu people were very conspicuous and easy to exterminate; but he was worried about the spread in the southwest. The mountains in the southwest were high and densely forested. For many tribes, the government could not control anything other than collecting food and troops.
As long as these missionaries can get permission from the tribal leaders, they can preach without being discovered by the government. Missionaries are indeed selfless people who bring more advanced medicine, useful knowledge, and better services to the local people.
The lifestyle spread easily. Historically, this is how Christianity took root in the southwest.
There is also a way to completely solve this problem, which is to cut off communication and make it impossible for missionaries to get through. Just like it was more than a thousand years ago, cross religion has no way to spread; it is possible to allow but it is impossible to cut off communication.
"Dad, since this can't completely solve the problem, what should we do?" Wen Qi asked again.
"Dad hasn't thought about this either." Yun was also very honest with his children.
"There are actually things that dad can't think of?" Min'er said in surprise.
"Well, do you think dad can come up with a solution for anything?" Yun asked.
"Well, daddy, you handle the government affairs and can always come up with solutions no matter how difficult things are. My daughter always thinks that daddy is omnipotent," Min'er said.
Yun looked at the other children and found that their expressions were similar to Min'er's. 'In their minds, I am omnipotent and can figure out a solution no matter how difficult the problem is?' Yun thought, dumbfounded.
It seems to be a good thing to be thought so by the child, but Yun now feels the pressure. "Wen Qi, Min'er, my father is not omnipotent. There are also things that my father cannot solve, such as the spread of Christianity."
"Then how should this matter be handled?" Wen Qi asked again.
"Well, when father thinks about it again, maybe he can think of a solution after seeing the missionary with his own eyes and talking to him," Yun said.
"Moreover, my father may be able to gain something beneficial to Ming Dynasty from his conversation with the missionaries."
