The click-and-tap ratio of my book is too low. Because of this reason Qidian still suspects that I have clicked and I was unjustly killed. Am I such a person? But there is no way, I was counted by Qidian and suffered heavy losses. There was no increase in clicks on Tuesday morning. Brothers, give your votes!
The research institute built by Zhu Youxiao, next to the Anmin Factory, was originally a deserted place. If you go on weekdays, in addition to seeing some craftsmen in the research institute walking around the yard, there were basically no people in the yard. However, the house next to the yard was crowded with people, and piles of people gathered together to argue about some issues. Occasionally, some people would fist and kick together when they were disagreeing. But today is a different scene. The yard was surrounded by people, and from time to time, people came from Anmin Factory next to them. Some people who came late were on tiptoe in the back row, and some of them jumped up from time to time and shouted: "Hi, Wang Mazi, let's go, you have been watching for so long, and you still have to squeeze in the seat in front."
When Wang Mazi heard this, he immediately smiled proudly and said, "Liu Liu, I asked you to come to the cottage first. Now you don't have a seat. I want you to give up your seat. Besides, you Liu Liu has slept with your wife Cuiyu for so many years, why haven't you enough sleep? Let me go to bed with Wang Mazi."
When Liu Liuyi heard this, he became even more anxious and squeezed it hard, and cursed loudly: "You dead Wang Mazi, you have a vegetative look. Look at me, Liu Liu, have your bones removed." But the walls in front of him isolated Liu Liu's voice.
Some people who came here to watch the fun were separated from the wall, so they pulled the person next to them and asked, "What's going on? Although the people in this institute are a little crazy on weekdays, they don't have such a scene. What medicine are you taking today? It's like going crazy."
The person asked immediately said proudly: "Look at this person and you don't know the reason. These people are watching strange goods, rare goods that are rare in normal times." This man deliberately cheered up the appetite of the person who asked, and after saying that, he deliberately stared at the crowd and ignored the person who asked him.
When the person who asked him saw him keeping him in hiding, he immediately said, "Zheng Qiang, aren't you deliberately torture people? Tell me quickly. If you don't say it, I'll ask others, see what else you'll keep in mind."
After hearing this, the person asked chuckled and said, "This strange thing is extraordinary. I heard that it was a red barbarian from the sea. Have you seen it? It is all red-haired and white skin. It is very scary. If you want to see it, hurry up and squeeze in and take a look. I have seen it just now."
The person who asked the question saw the crowds in front of him and immediately smiled: "Aren't you Zheng Qiang laughing at me? How could I squeeze in so many people? Let me tell me what these people do? Why did you come to this research institute for no reason?"
The person asked was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. He said quickly: "If you want to tell me what these red barbarians are here for? You, Li Hou, are really asking the right person. There are not many people who know about it. I also heard from the people in the research institute that these red barbarians were ordered by the emperor to invite them to Beijing, saying that they were invited to build some cannons."
Then he suddenly remembered something and continued, "Isn't you Li Hou from Anmin Factory? Didn't the emperor see the cannons in your Anmin Factory a few days ago? There is a big one among them."
Li Hou immediately remembered it, and then Zheng Qiang said: "Those cannons were brought by the Guangdong-Guangzhou Administration Commission from some red barbarians and specially presented them to Beijing. The father-in-law in the factory said that the emperor liked the cannons very much, so he asked the father-in-law to build this cannon, but we could make such good cannons. The emperor was very angry after hearing this. It seemed that these red barbarians were invited to build cannons."
This was the first time that Zheng Qiang heard this, and immediately became curious and asked, "Are these red barbarians so powerful? They can also create things that our Ming Dynasty cannot create."
When Li Hou saw Zheng Qiang ask him, he smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, Zheng Qiang was just keeping me insincerely, and now I'm asking me. Fortunately, I, Li Hou, don't care about you today. You Zheng Qiang have never seen such cannons. They are big and thick, and they are six meters long. Their power is fierce. Do you know how far that cannon can be hit? I wonder if you, a blacksmith, don't know."
Zheng Qiang was very curious and ignored Li Hou's words and said, "I'm not unaware of the big guys in your Anmin Factory. A few days ago, our research institute organized a visit to see your Anmin Factory. I have seen all those cannons, but I haven't seen the big ones you said."
When Li Hou saw Zheng Qiang ask him, he immediately glanced at him and said, "You are just a blacksmith, and it's okay to play iron. Do you know these major things? Do you know what the cannon is? It's a treasure. When the father-in-law saw that the emperor liked it, he locked the cannon and said that it was the emperor's order. Only the commander of your institute can see it. I wish you, the little blacksmith in the institute, didn't know the news either."
When Zheng Qiang saw Li Hou say this, he was a little angry and said, "I am famous and capable in the casting team of our institute. If you don't believe me, go and ask me. Even our institute has to ask me some things. You have been like this since you were a child, and you don't work hard. After so many years, you still look like this in Anmin Factory." Then he continued, "Li Hou, we have been neighbors for so many years. My daughter is now at the age of getting married. You ask your wife to be a matchmaker for my daughter and look for a good family."
Zheng Qiang immediately said, "Don't you know who I, Zheng Qiang? We have been playing since we were young, and we still need to say such a busy life. Of course, we can do it for you."
The two of them were talking about happiness. There were more and more people. The yard was already full of people. The person in front shouted loudly: "Wow, it's so white, like a ghost." But the people behind couldn't see it. They pushed forward desperately, and shouted loudly: "Where, let me go in and take a look, "Oh, you don't have eyes!"
At this time, Song Yingxing was receiving the red barbarians in the room of the research institute. Standing next to him was Xu Guangqi. These Portuguese from Macau were invited by Xu Guangqi, and of course they did not come for nothing. Zhu Youxiao promised to let these Portuguese preach in the capital, as additional conditions, these missionaries would find some people from Macau to build red barbarian cannons for the Ming Dynasty.
Song Yingxing stared carefully at the Portuguese sitting opposite him. He saw that the man was wearing a dark black robe and a very delicate silver cross hanging hanging on his chest. His face was very white, with red curly hair and blue eyes. Song Yingxing was also a well-read scholar. He would not be shocked when he saw this scene, but he was very curious. At this time, the Portuguese began to stand up and said, "¥%#¥#."
Song Yingxing was confused, but this time there was a translator present. Xu Guangqi immediately said, "Mr. Song, this is Mr. Sampayo saying hello to you!" Xu Guangqi was once baptized. If Catholicism had translated many Portuguese works, he was naturally very familiar with Portuguese. This time, Xu Guangqi was entrusted by the emperor to find some people from Macau to build cannons for the emperor. He naturally took the opportunity to fight for the Catholicism he believed in.
He was able to come to Beijing to preach. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed without thinking. Xu Guangqi was afraid that Zhu Youxiao would regret it, so he asked Zhu Youxiao to give him an imperial edict. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao agreed immediately, and later he even issued an edict despite Fang Congzhe's cabinet's opposition. In fact, when it comes to religious belief, Zhu Youxiao didn't care much about Catholicism. The Chinese have always been a Confucian country. If Catholicism could be popular in Beijing, it could be said that the sun came out from the west.
At this time, Sampayo started speaking again, this time he was speaking Chinese.
"Hello, sir, I am the Catholic priest Greeneldo Marcos Sampaio, and I am very happy to see you."
When Song Yingxing heard that the red barbarians could speak Chinese, he said that the birds were talking a little tricked him. When he heard the red barbarians' name, he was shocked. He thought that the name of the wireless man was really strange. Since the wireless man greeted him, Song Yingxing immediately replied: "Since the lower official Song Yingxing is the chief of the Ming Institute of Ming Dynasty. Welcome Greenlei..."
At this time, when Sangpayue saw that Song Yingxing did not remember his name, she immediately laughed in his strange tone and said, "Mr. Song, just call me Sangpayue, and that's what Lord Xu calls me."
At this time, Xu Guangqi said, "Their Portuguese names are so long, so Lord Song can just call him Sampayo."
Sampayo said again: "Mr. Song, when will I take me to see your Emperor of Ming? This time I came to Beijing to preach with the imperial edict of your Emperor of Ming."
When Song Yingxing heard this, he thought to himself that the emperor was clearly looking for these red barbarians to build cannons, so why did he come to preach, and immediately said: "Mr. Sampayo, but the emperor said that he asked Sampayo to come to Beijing to help me build cannons in the Ming Dynasty, so why did he come to preach?"
After hearing this, Sampayo immediately said, "Mr. Song, your emperor has taught me that I came to Beijing to preach. Making cannons is just the business of those craftsmen I brought."
When Song Yingxing heard this, he looked at Xu Guangqi. Seeing Xu Guangqi's unnatural expression on his face, Xu Guangqi came over and pulled Song Yingxing to the corner of the house and said, "Master Song, how could these Portuguese come to Beijing for no reason to build cannons? I wrote a letter to say that the emperor allowed the Catholics to go to Beijing to preach, but the emperor liked cannons. If he brought some cannons to build cannons for the emperor, the emperor would be happy to let the Catholics preach in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When Sampayo saw the letter, he immediately plundered all the cannons in Macau and brought them all to the capital. You see, there are more than 200 people outside, but they are all experts in making cannons. Lord Song can speed up the research on cannons. The emperor attaches great importance to this."
