Chapter 156 Yes, there is magic!

"Dabao, Mr. Goff, Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, these Mingxia wines do not add potions that can make people sleep well, so you can drink them with confidence."

In the lobby of a house next to the Ling Family Ancestral Hall, Zhu Heying had already set up a banquet to see off guests and called his Latin teacher Bei Jiaxin. Teacher Bei was holding a plate with three yellow scrolls and a thread-bound book.

In addition, the "Mingxia" he just blended out has "spring" wine, of course there are "summer" wine, "autumn" wine and "winter" wine.

Of course, these four wines in "spring, summer, autumn and winter" are made of high-quality imitation wines made with sugarcane raw wine, some other flavor wines, as well as some special aromatic essential oils, and some artificial aging methods.

Among them, the Mingxia wine is a high-quality Sherry wine, which is a special taste of Sherry wine produced by using Portuguese Sherry wine, oak barrels, sugar cane wine seized in Macau, and is blended and artificially aged.

This wine has a high acidity, but it is still sweet, with a slight milky aroma, and has been iced and has a great taste. At least it will not be as good as the best Sherry wine that people of this grade can drink in the UK.

However, due to the last time "drunk" incident, Goff, Smith, Jones and others have now had a psychological shadow on the fine wine provided by Zhu Heying. Moreover, Zhu Heying just said a very sensitive word potion?

"Pill?" Goff, who can speak Chinese, asked first without waiting for Ji Dabao's translation, "What do you mean"

"McJack (magic)!" Zhu and Kao said the word "old English" and then smiled, "In Dahao, you and Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones's medicine is a drug extracted from a certain plant using magic, which has a very powerful hypnotic effect."

Ji Dabao immediately translated his words into "old English", and then the three foreigners exclaimed.

"Is there really magic?"

"O God!"

"Is this true?"

Zhu Heying laughed: "Is it true that what you see in these days not enough to make you believe in the existence of magic?"

Can you believe it?

The three foreigners looked at each other, all of whom looked suspicious.

Zhu Heying smiled, then took a thin thread-bound book from the plate that Teacher Bei was holding and placed it on the table. Then he gently pushed it to Charlie Goff with his fingers.

Charlie Goff looked down and saw that the cover of the thread-bound book clearly stated "A Beginner of the Magician".

"This is" Charlie Goff's eyes widened, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

Zhu Heying smiled and explained: "This is a book that explains magic. I wrote it based on some content in another ancient book called "Tao Follow Nature" and some personal opinions. After reading it, you should understand magic more deeply!"

Of course there will be no "drug" in this book. Who can expect Zhu Hezang to write a recipe for sugar gunpowder in a free-for-nothing book?

But there are some very profound magic principles in it, and some chemical reactions are explained from a magic perspective.

"Understand magic?" Charlie Goff was a little confused.

Zhu Hezang then fooled: "After reading this book, you will know that magic is actually everywhere!

Magic is actually the basic force that constitutes the world we exist, and it exists in all matter. Moreover, we humans can stimulate and use the magic power in matter according to certain laws. For example, the most common burning phenomenon in daily life is essentially a magic phenomenon."

Well, Zhu Hezhe is "magicizing" chemistry, which means explaining chemical reactions in a magical context. However, for people in the seventeenth century, many chemical reactions and magic are not much different.

Therefore, the chemistry course can be completely transformed into a magic course. I don’t know if the chemistry teachers in later generations were called magic teachers, would they feel that they were high-end, generous and more advanced?

"Doesn't that mean that we ordinary people can also master magic?" Charlie Goff asked back.

"It is not mastering, but applying." Zhu Hezang said, "If you know how to use but don't know the truth, you cannot be called mastering but only know the truth, and you cannot create it, you cannot be called mastering. If you can master all the magical characteristics of every substance in the world, you can create new magical matter that we cannot imagine, and have unimaginable power."

Charlie Goff understood a little, but he was an adventurer, with limited knowledge and no smart mind, so he didn't even have a slight understanding. But it doesn't matter, he planned to go back to his hometown of Cambridgeshire to recuperate for a while, and he could go to Cambridge University to find a smart person to ask.

In addition, he had to report the "Chinese Magic Event" to the Anglican Church. The original copy of this book "Introduction to the Magicians" will most likely be submitted as evidence. The Anglican Church will also organize experts to conduct research at that time.

If Zhu Hetian really has the exclusive mastery of powerful black magic, then he, the British East India Company, will not have to be responsible for the Macau incident and the Great Oriental incident.

How could a small and large class compete with the most powerful pagan magician in the world?

If he has this ability, why don’t he become a pope or an archbishop?

At this time, Zhu Heqiu took three scrolls with yellow silk from the Latin teacher Betsin standing behind him and placed them in front of him in turn. Then he said to the comprador Ji Dabao: "Class II, I want to ask you to be a messenger, and go to Europe with Goff, Smith, Jones and others. These three scrolls are written by me to the Pope, the Regent of Portugal and the King of England, both in Chinese and Latin. I don't need you to negotiate with them, bring the letter and bring their reply back."

Although Zhu Hezang robbed the Great Oriental and regained Macau, he did not think about closing the country, nor did he think about interrupting the trade between the East and the West and still earning money!

Nowadays, Europeans are still in the stage of "fear of poverty" and "crazy of poverty". How could they not make money?

Zhu Heying also had to make money to support the army and the court, so he never thought that Westerners would break up completely. However, the Macau incident and the Dadongfang incident also needed an explanation.

The content on these three scrolls explains the ins and outs of the matter. The general meaning is that although I, Ming Dynasty, forced the ships of the British East India Company, seized the castle of the Kingdom of Portugal, and planned to greatly restrict Catholicism, I was reasonable and responsible!

First of all, my Ming Dynasty was not a "robbery" ship, I was "requisitioned", and I would also give compensation and corresponding compensation. Because the Dadongfang was "damaged" during use and needed overhaul, my Ming Dynasty court would pay a certain amount of "Dongchangxiang" to buy the Dadongfang. Moreover, the requisition and compensation only occurred between the Ming Dynasty court and the East India Company, not against the Kingdom of England.

Secondly, Macau was originally from the Ming Dynasty, and was rented by the Portuguese, but they have not paid rent for 20 years. It is reasonable and legal for the Ming Dynasty to take back Macau, and it has been recovered now! However, Macau's trade opening policy will continue, and the Ming Dynasty welcomes merchants from all countries to Hong Kong for trade.

Third, our Ming Dynasty was based on Confucianism. Neither Buddhism nor Catholicism had any attempt to hurt the fundamentals of Confucianism. The behavior of Catholicism in interfering with Chinese Confucian etiquette was to hurt the foundation of Confucian etiquette, so all activities should be temporarily stopped. However, considering the special circumstances of Macau, Catholicism was still allowed to carry out activities in Macau.

Fourth, the right to protect China by the Kingdom of Portugal is a rough interference with the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty and is completely unacceptable! Therefore, all bishops in China that have not been appointed by the Ming Dynasty are illegal bishops. All churches located in the Ming Dynasty that have not been approved by the Ming Dynasty are illegal churches.
