Chapter 148 Interesting priest

After sending Huang Tailai away, Zhou Chongyi turned around and wanted to invite Father John and Priest Nader to come in. After all, no matter what, Priest Nader gave him some pepper seeds, so he had to thank the other party no matter what, although the other party was unwilling to do so.

Accept money, but there should be no problem in treating them to a meal.

However, when Zhou Chong turned around, he found that the short Doctor Wei was talking to Father John. Zhou Chong walked over and listened, but unexpectedly found that Doctor Wei was actually very humble and studious.

The man was asking Father John for his bloodletting therapy, and Father John rarely met someone who was interested in him, so he did not reserve the slightest and told him about the bloodletting therapy he had learned without reservation.

.

Zhou Chong was shocked when he saw Dr. Wei listened very seriously and even had a eager expression. In order to avoid the patients in the chamber of commerce being bleeded by Dr. Wei, Zhou Chong hurriedly interrupted them.

Talk, and then invite Father John and Priest Nader to the trading center.

Now the entire transaction has become a comprehensive area. This is not only a place where the Chamber of Commerce discusses business with the cargo owners, but also has its own restaurants, teahouses and accommodation in the garden. Some cargo owners will immediately come to Beigang once they come to Beigang.

When you enter the trading center, you can eat, stay and do business here. After all, the public security in Shuangyu Port is not very good. Compared with hotels elsewhere, the trading center is much safer. At least you don’t have to worry about someone coming here to make trouble.

Zhou Chong took Father John and the others to the restaurant inside the trading center to ask for a private room, and then ordered a table of good dishes for them. As a result, the dishes had just come up, and before Zhou Chong could say anything. Father John

The two of them were already looking green and had no intention of listening to Zhou Chong's words. In the end, Zhou Chong had to let them eat first. As a result, the two of them immediately began to eat voraciously. It seemed that they were very hungry during this period.

Finally, when Father John had almost finished eating, Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Father John John, you haven't answered me about the previous question yet. Are you in Nangang District? Why did you run to Beigang District again?

Now?"

Hearing Zhou Chong's question, Father John and Priest Nader looked at each other with a greasy face, then smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Mr. Zhou, we are actually in Nangang District.

After going down, we came to Beigang District to try it. However, we also know that Beigang is your territory. If you don’t want us to stay here, then we will go to Xigang District. Anyway, we will not give up on the spreader.

Glorious!"

"Oh, what did you do to make you unable to survive in Nangang District? And I see you, it seems like you haven't eaten for several days?" Zhou Chong asked strangely when he heard this.

Time has been busy with the chamber of commerce. I have no time to pay attention to the movements of these two Portuguese people.

Father John smiled bitterly when he heard this, and immediately told him the trouble he caused in Nangang District.

It turned out that after these two men arrived in Nangang District on the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce, they immediately started to preach to everyone they could contact, but they obviously did not learn from the lessons they had learned on Zhoushan Island before and had no skills in preaching.

.Just just blindly preach to people how kind God is, believing in God, you can enter heaven in the future, etc.

This practice of Father John and Priest Nader is obviously impossible to absorb anyone who believes in religion, and it even arouses the disgust of many people. However, if this is the case, as for them to be unable to survive in Nangang, the most important thing is

The two of them offended another group of people in Nangang, and they were forced to leave Nangang.

Although Nangang District is the territory of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce, there are actually some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce stationed in Nangang District. Father John and others offended one of the medium-sized chambers of commerce. The reason for the incident was not that the other party bullies others with their power, but

It was Father John and the others who were wrong first.

Domingo where Father John and Priest Nader are located will be a member of the beggar church. They do not accept property and usually make a living by begging for food from others. It would be fine if they were in Europe, after all, it is the world of the Christian church.

Can find believers who are willing to give alms, but in the Ming Dynasty, their behavior is no different from beggars. In addition, most of the residents in Shuangyu Port are family members of various chambers of commerce. They originally couldn't survive in the Ming Dynasty and ran away.

When they arrived here, they saw that Father John had hands and feet but did not work and made a living by begging, so they naturally despise them very much, which directly led to the fact that they could not get enough food at all.

Father John and Priest Nader have been prepared for this situation. After all, they had encountered this situation when they were in Zhoushan. Although they were stubborn, they still knew some flexibility under the pressure of survival.

Therefore, sometimes when they really can't find food, they will go to the dock to work as coolies for a few days, so that they can make some money in their lives.

But coolies are not something that anyone can do. One day, when they were carrying goods at the dock, they accidentally broke a box of goods. As a result, they happened to be filled with fragile porcelain, which was from a medium-sized chamber of commerce in Nangang.

The other party will naturally ask them to compensate for the goods.

Father John and Priest Nader were penniless and had no money to pay each other. The chamber of commerce did not force them to pay the money now, so they proposed a way to make them pay the money when they work in their own chamber of commerce.

, When will you pay off the money and leave?

Originally, this is nothing for ordinary people. It's just about selling more energy. However, Father John and Priest Nader still want to preach everywhere. It's just their part-time job to work as a coolie at the wharf, and it's even more impossible for a long time.

Working in the other party's chamber of commerce, so they finally discussed it, but they escaped while the other party was not paying attention.

The immoral behavior of Father John and Priest Nader naturally angered the other party. After all, most of the smuggling business are similar to pirates, so they will naturally have no good results if they get angry. So now the other party is already sending it.

After that, I have to catch Father John and let them know what the consequences of offending them?

It is precisely because of this that Father John and Priest Nader could not stay in Nangang at all. Otherwise, if they were caught by the chamber of commerce, they would have to be beaten to death. So in this case, the two left.

After going to Nangang, I went to Beigang to avoid the limelight. After all, the other party was just a medium-sized chamber of commerce, and it was impossible to extend its power to this side.

After listening to Father John's story, Zhou Chong couldn't help but laugh. When he said that, he also felt that the two Portuguese people in front of him were very interesting. As monks, sometimes they acted like devout Catholics, even if they were alone.

Here in the Ming Dynasty, they also strictly abide by the church's doctrines, but sometimes they often do things that violate morality in order to survive. For example, when they were on Zhoushan Island, they stole food from local people to survive, and this time in Nangang.

It is really an interesting phenomenon that they have broken things and are not compensated.

"Father John, then what are your plans now? You don't just want to hide like this, right?" Zhou Chong asked with a smile after siping tea.

When Father John heard this question, he couldn't help but look at Priest Nader again, and then smiled bitterly: "Young Master Zhou, we haven't thought about this, but we plan to stay in Beigang for a while first, if the other party doesn't

If we chase after us, we may continue to preach here until someone is willing to become a believer of God.”

Sure enough, Father John's words were not beyond Zhou Chong's expectations, but suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind came up with something very important. He pondered for a moment and said, "Father John, we have known each other for a while.

It’s not too short, it can be considered a friend, but as a friend, I have a little advice for you!”

Seeing Zhou Chong being so polite, Father John stood up and said with a little flattered look: "You are so polite, Mr. Zhou. If you have any suggestions, you can mention it. Priest Nader and I rarely have a friend who knows the Ming Dynasty, so we have to ask you.

We will definitely consider the opinions carefully!”

After a few months, Father John spoke more fluent in Chinese, and he knew to use honorific words to Zhou Chong, but Zhou Chong didn't care about these things. He only saw a glimmer of light in his eyes and said, "Two, you guys, you were the ones before.

I taught my religion in Fuzhou and Zhoushan, and then came to Shuangyu Port. However, my three missionary experiences were similar and no one was willing to believe in religion at all. Is this right?"

Father John and Priest Nader nodded when they heard this. At this time, Zhou Chong continued to say: "The three missionary failures have failed, which is enough to show a problem, that is, there is something wrong with your missionary method, and

It's still a big problem, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to develop a religious member until now!"

"This..." Although Father John and Priest Nader were stubborn, they also knew that Zhou Chong's analysis was very reasonable, so they nodded again and said, "Young Master Zhou said it well, we admit our missionary methods.

There should be a problem, but now we don’t know how to change it, so we can only use this stupid method to preach."

"Hahahahaha~ Actually, you don't have to use this stupid method at all. I have a way to make you stand firm. Although it won't allow you to develop believers, it's definitely better than you are now preaching around aimlessly

It's much better!" Zhou Chong suddenly laughed and said with a laugh when he heard Father John admit that there was something wrong with his missionary method.

He suddenly thought that the West has surpassed the Ming Dynasty in some science and technology, and he might take this opportunity to open a gap from the two priests in front of him and learn those advanced technologies. As for the missionary matters
