After Dachun withdrew, Yinzhen sighed softly. It is not enough to be careful these days. Kangxi's spies and Yinzhen's sticking rods must be guarded, and he was careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship. Fortunately, the welfare after the prince's branch was good. Not only were there a large number of various manors and a large number of servants and servants, but also, at the end of last year, Kangxi also gave himself all the Zuling and Hunto whom the eldest Yinzhi belonged to, which made him not worry about people.

In the afternoon, Yinzhen was practicing calligraphy while sorting out transcription in the study, and heard Bao Fuquan's voice ringing outside the door, "Master, uncle Wanyan Haifeng is looking for a meeting outside." [The latest updates are all available in the search.]

"I got it, take him to the study."

After a while, Wanyan Haifeng's slightly excited voice was heard, "Slave Haifeng bowed to the Fourteenth Master."

"Come in." Yinzhen said and stood up.

After Wanyan Haifeng came in, he met Yinzhen and niggled Qian'er cleanly, "I have met the Fourteenth Master."

Wanyan Haifeng is tall and very handsome. The two of them went to school together since childhood and were very familiar with each other. Yinzhen smiled and said, "Get up, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."

Haifeng stood up and smiled and said, "Fourth Master, I will follow you in the future. I dare not abandon this gift."

"Sit down." Yinzhen smiled and said, "I have wanted to call you here for a long time, but I have never had any serious chores. Besides, it will be beneficial for you to practice in the Ministry of Rites for a few years." Seeing Haifeng standing upright and listening intently, Yinzhen said in his mind, it seems that he has not been in vain in the Ministry of Rites for the past few years, and he is much more mature and steady.

Satisfied, Yinzhen was not interested in being polite and said straight to the point: "You go to the ministry tomorrow and hand over the errands with me in the future."

"Thank you for your support, Master Shisi." Haifeng said, and then he stabbed Qian'er beautifully again.

There is a Catholic church in Xuanwu Gate, and people in the capital are used to calling it Nantang.

However, Nantang, which was presented in front of Yinzhen and Haifeng at this time, was just a building with the main body to be completed.

Although it has not been completed, judging from its Latin cross plane, arch structure, side corridor of the nave, tower in the hall, two-seater bell tower at the entrance, etc., it is already an authentic Western European Baroque style.

Yinzhen looked at the exotic building in front of him with great interest, but Haifeng couldn't figure out how the Fourteenth Master was interested in such a weird house.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Haifeng still said intriguingly: "Fourth Master, I heard that this Nantang was specially given 100,000 taels of treasury silver by the emperor and ordered the Ministry of Works to build it."

Yinzhen nodded and said to Haifeng: "Go, Master Liang is, and find the priest of this church."

I heard that the 14th prince was coming. The missionary who was supervising the worker knew that his identity was too low, so he hurried to report to the priest Min Ming, who was in charge of the construction.

Min Ming, I am an Italian Jesuit, and I am already 68 years old. I have served as the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor and a fifth-rank official. When I heard that the 14th Prince was visiting Nantang, he hurriedly came out.

"Greetings to His Highness the Fourteenth Prince." Min Ming said and was about to kneel down.

The priest Yinzhen didn't expect was Min Ming, so he hurriedly helped him up with one hand and smiled and said, "I'll take a look and disturb you."

Min Ming, my face was full of wrinkles, "Your Highness the Fourteenth Prince came to inspect. That is the gospel of all our Catholics." He said, and turned sideways and said, "If your Highness does not dislike you, please sit in the room."

In the temporary office room of the missionary, Min Ming, I waited for the missionary below to serve tea and then left everyone behind, then looked at Yinzhen and smiled and said, "I think your highness happened to pass by here, right?"

This man is interesting and doesn't speak at all. I don't know if he was like this when he was an official? Yinzhen laughed in his heart. Since that's the case, we just kept going straight and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to find the priest here, but I didn't expect it to alarm you. It's okay, you have been in Beijing for a long time and have a wide connection, which is more suitable for me."

"Oh." Min Ming narrowed my eyes and smiled, "Why did Your Highness come?"

Yinzhen didn't hide it, and directly expressed his intention, "I want to hire you missionaries as gurus."

"Your Highness is also interested in our Western learning?" Min Ming was a little surprised. He has been in Beijing for many years, but he has never heard of this 14th Master who is interested in Western learning. Among the adult princes of Kangxi, he also studied Western learning by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

"You're wrong, not teaching me, but teaching the children." Yinzhen explained: "I plan to build a private school in the capital and hire you missionaries to be your teacher to teach them Western learning. Of course, I will pay three taels of silver a month."

"Oh, no, my dear Your Highness, this is too low, five liang is almost the same." Min Ming Although I studied Chinese and lived in the capital for many years, the greed and philosophical things in the bones of Westerners are fully exposed. "And, you must allow us to preach among students, which is our job."

"Haha, you can buy one liang of silver in the capital, but three liang is a perfect salary. Yinzhen said relaxedly: Of course, preaching is your freedom, but you cannot preach in a private school, that is the place to study."

"Your Highness, if you do this, please forgive me for being helpless." Min Ming said with a regretful expression: "We are full-time missionaries."

"Okay, I'll take a step back and allow you to preach during the rest period, but you can't force your students to believe in religion." Yinzhen said helplessly, but he laughed in his heart. In this country where imperial power is supreme, a decree will make your Catholicism disappear. I'm still afraid that you will preach?

"Freedom in religion is our principle." Min Ming said as he stood up, smiling like a walnut. "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely choose the best teacher to teach those children. As for salary, you see..."

Yinzhen's face immediately turned dark and turned dark, and he pulled his feet out.

Min Ming, I have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never seen any official refuse so simply. I was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly chased out, "Fourth Master, Fourteenth Master..." Seeing that Yinzhen was almost out of the door without stopping, I couldn't help but shout, "OK, the deal is complete!"

Yinzhen stopped suddenly and then turned around, smiling brightly with his face, "I want all of mathematics, geometry, astronomy, geography, English, French, and medicine, but I don't want the Bible."

"I will try my best to meet your requirements, Your Highness the Fourteenth Prince." Min Ming, I knew that he was fooled by the Fourteenth, replied in a depressed manner.

Yinzhen smiled disconcertedly and said, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Uh, the cooperation is pleasant." Min Ming looked entangled. Why did the tone of this 14th prince look more like a Westerner than me? Why didn't he notice it before?

After Gong sent Yinzhen away, Min Ming, I was excited to walk around the room for a long time. It was able to let the missionaries go to a private school to be a teacher. It had a huge boost to his missionary career. When he thought that the group of scholars from the Qing Dynasty were believers in the future, he couldn't help but shout: "Come on, call all the missionaries in the capital for a meeting."
