Chapter 26: Duke buys people's hearts at his own advantage, and rich businessmen sell translation at a high price (Part 2)
To persuade people to surrender, we must first solve the problem of language incomprehensible. Zhao Jin knows Russian and is slightly connected with the language of the ancient Dongsi region, but it is not enough. So Zhao Jin made people search all over the city, find a good translator, and find a rich businessman. This rich businessman travels around and is proficient in Chinese, Mongolian, Dongsky auxiliary language, Arabic and other languages. Zhao Jin was overjoyed and wanted to hire him as an official.
However, this rich businessman was frightened by the recent "changing king flag at the head of the city" and did not want to stay in the new city that had been attacked and rioted, but only wanted to return to his hometown. Zhao Jin had no choice but to consider buying his concubine with him as an interpreter.
According to Islamic teachings, a husband can be polygamous, but each wife is equal, and there is no wife or concubine. Therefore, the concubine is actually not a concubine, but a maid who has a sexual relationship with her master, which is equivalent to a Chinese "sex girl" and is not included in the wife's room.
This rich businessman is lustful and rich. He buys women as concubines wherever he goes. From China to Egypt and then to the Dongsi region, he has searched for a lot of women from East Asia to North Africa to Eastern Europe. These concubines come from all over the world, and they have learned to reply, and each of them can speak one or two local languages. Therefore, the rich businessman suggested to Zhao Yu: "It's better to replace them for me to serve the general!" General, please let me go back to my hometown!" Seeing Zhao Jin's consent, the rich businessman offered a high price.
Zhao Jin frowned and shouted, "Oh, my God! You are so good at business! I'm afraid this selling price is ten times your buying price, right?
"No, no." The rich businessman hurriedly argued, "It's not even twice as much. It's just a little bit more of the original price.
"Not more, not more!" Zhao Jin rolled up his sleeves and said, "I think you have increased it at least five times!"
Rich businessmen wipe their sweat: "Swear to Allah, there really no."
Zhao Jin sneered: "How dare you swear to Allah that you didn't even double it?"
The rich businessman was speechful for a while and hesitated for a long time before saying, "General, you are a reasonable person. You know, just like goods, I can earn more than ten times from the goods I buy from China and sell them to Egypt!"
"How dare you compare people with goods?" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let's talk to you, an ancient man. Anyway, if you keep the price more realistic, I'll buy it.
"Then...how about this price?" The rich businessman said another price of about 20% off.
Zhao Yu shook his head.
The rich businessman had to drop a little more and defended: "The goods will depreciate because they are damaged and old. People won't!"
"It will be too!" When Zhao Jin saw such a difficult return businessman, he simply entangled with him: "Just like the goods will depreciate when they are used, they - you have also used it!"
"No... I haven't used it much. At least, concubines who have been pregnant and have had children cannot be sold. Therefore, these things to be sold are not depreciated much.
"Is that right? If I find out that they have been pregnant and had a child, how can you accompany them? You sold them and ran away. Where can I find you?
"The general must not know our rules. According to the doctrine, pregnant concubines cannot be sold, and concubines who have had children cannot be sold, which is clear. If you don't believe it, you can see." The merchant asked the servant to take out a scripture from his bag and show it to Zhao Jin.
It turns out that in addition to the Koran, Islam also has the Hadith. What the rich businessman showed Zhao Jin was the Tazhi Hadith, which is the most important Hadith, which recorded many teachings of Muhammad. Zhao Jin took it over and looked at it. He saw that it was all in Arabic. He couldn't help frowning and said, "You are so bold. You know that I can't understand it, but you still use this paper tadpole text to make me in a daze."
"I can ask my Chinese concubine to translate for the general. Needless to say, she is proficient in Chinese, and she also knows Arabic!" The rich businessman will call the servant.
"No! They are all from your family. How can I believe it?
"Then... there's nothing we can do. The general decided not to buy it, so I took them back to my hometown.
"Damn! How dare you threaten General Ben? If it hadn't been for the kindness of the general, would you have died?"
"Yes, yes! The general left my life, and the general is a good general. Then, the sale is fair, and the sale is fair."
"Wow..." Zhao Yu couldn't do it, so he had to say, "You translate for me by yourself, and I believe you."
The rich businessman hurried forward and was about to translate when he suddenly remembered: "Ah! General! My little Chinese concubine copied the Chinese version of the Hadith Sutra in order to preach to her hometown. I'll ask someone to show you."
"I didn't say it earlier!" Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Are you mean to fooling me?"
The rich businessman smiled and said, "I dare not, dare not."
So the rich businessman ordered his servants to take the Chinese version of the Hadith and turned to Chapter 20 "On Marriage, divorce, Guarding the System and the Way of Couple" for Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin looked at it, and the beginning of the volume said:
Allah said, "Marry the women you love, two, three or four. If you are afraid of injustice, you can marry one." You should marry the lonely and good servants and maidservants. They are poor, and Allah will give them wealth. Allah is grasful and knows well.
If the rich businessman wants to point out which one Zhao Jin should read, Zhao Jin asked the rich businessman to stop talk and read it freely. If you see a few at will, you will suddenly be full of interest!
(Article 52) Samler's biography: Mu Sheng said: "If two parents grant a woman to the two families, the first one shall prevail. For example, if a product is sold to two people, the one who negotiates first shall prevail.
(Article 99) Mu Sheng added: "All kinds of things of male believers are not doing their jobs. Except for three things: practicing archery, practicing riding, and playing with his wife. These are all business.
(Article 1) Mu Sheng said again: "If a husband asks for a wife to have sex, the wife must not refuse. Otherwise, the angel will curse it until dawn.
(Article 38) The legend of Yiyas: Mu Sheng said, "Don't beat the maid of Allah." Omar came to see Mu Sheng and said, "But the women are opposed to their husbands." Mu Shengfang allowed it to be beaten. So groups of women came to Mu Sheng and cried about their husband's abuse. Mu Sheng said, "There are more than 70 wives to complain, and they don't even have a good husband."
Seeing this, Zhao Jin couldn't help laughing so much that he almost rolled off the seat.
I soon saw it again--
(Article 14) Ogebai's legend: Mu Sheng said, "Don't enter the women's room." Someone said, "Sage! How about my husband's close relatives? Mu Sheng said, "My relatives killed people, and my uncle and sister-in-law should avoid suspicion."
(Article 45) Zabir's biography: Mu Sheng said: "You are not allowed to enter the room of the woman whose husband is not at home and stays in the empty room. The evil is like the blood of the vein, which is pervasive. The doorman said, "How about the noble saint?" Mu Sheng said, "I am no exception, but I am blessed by Allah and will not be harmed by it."
(Article 46) Mu Sheng also said, "When men and women meet, the devil is their introducer."
Zhao Jin almost fell to the ground with laughter again. It seems that Mu Sheng is different from his previous guess. He is not only not old-fashioned, but also quite humorous. What he said is full of wisdom and humor.
I thought that Islamic scriptures might be as serious as Buddhist scriptures, but I didn't expect them to be so interesting. So Zhao Jin started from the beginning and looked along--
(Article 1) Abtonla's narrated: Mu Sheng said, "Young people! Those who have the ability to get married should get married. Marriage is the best way to put an end to **★ things and guarantee chastity. Those who are unable to get married can be sealed as Changzhai, and Zhai can have no desire.
(Article 2) Anes's legend: Three people went to the house of the Holy Prophet and listened to the Holy Prophet's achievements. When they heard it, they seemed to be too few. They said, "How can we compare with a saint whose sins will be forgiven by Allah." One said, "I worship all night." One said, "I fast all day long." One said, "I will never get married, and I'm not close to women." Mu Sheng came to see them and said, "Did you say such a thing? By the Lord, I am the one who fears Allah the most, but I fast and fast; I worship and sleep; I marry and perform humanity. Those who go against my path are not my religious people.
(Article 3) Biography of Abuan Youbu: Mu Sheng said: "Four things are what the saints want: knowing shame, using incense, brushing teeth and getting married."
"It's very interesting!" Zhao Jin nodded: "I don't know Islam, but from Mu Sheng's words and deeds, it is very approachable, kind and honest."
So look at it again--
(Article 5) Enaiss's biography 2: Mu Sheng said, "There are three things I love most in the world: women, beauty and worship."
(Article 7) Ebhuler's narrated: I said to Mu Sheng, "Saint! I'm a bloody young man. I'm afraid of adultery. I don't have the ability to get married. Can I cut off the testicles? I asked three times, but Mu Sheng was speechless. I asked again, and Mu Sheng said, "Aibhuler! The angel has recorded your thoughts, so you can do whatever you want!"
(Article 8) Mu Sheng said: "Saint Sulaiman, the son of Da Wude, swore: 'I will definitely have sex with 100 wives in one night, and give birth to a man, and fight for the Lord.' The angel said to him: You should say, 'Listen to the call of Allah!' He didn't say anything and forgot that he had sex with a hundred wives. He only had one child and gave birth to a daughter. Assuming that he said 'Listen to the call of Allah', he will not make a curse and will definitely meet his requirements.
(Article 10) Enais's biography: Mu Sheng has nine wives, and he took turns to fall in love with them one night.
(Article 14) Zabir's biography: When Mu Sheng heard that I was married, he asked, "What kind of woman are you marrying?" I said, "Widow." He said, "Why don't you marry a virgin? The big girl is more fun and funny. I said, "My father Abtonla passed away and left my nine sisters. I want to marry someone who can take care of them." Mu Sheng prayed for me.
(Article 15) Oish said, "Saint! Suppose you go to the valley, and some grass has been eaten and some have not been eaten. What kind of grassland do you want the camel to go to?" Go to the unleashed grass. I mean, Mu Sheng has never married a virgin except me.
(Article 16) Biography of buying Agarri: A man came to see Mu Sheng and said, "I'm looking for a beautiful lady who can't have children. Can I marry her?" Mu Sheng said, "No." I asked three times, and he answered like this. Finally, he said, "We should marry a woman who is prolific and pleasing to her husband. We should compete with all ethnic groups."
......
It's really interesting! Zhao Jin watched it with relish and just watched it for a while. When the rich businessman was hungry, he couldn't help crying, "Wenright general! This book is for you. You can read it slowly later! Let's talk about our business as soon as possible.
"Yes!" Zhao Jin suddenly realized and asked again, "What is the content of the scripture you want to show me?"
"It's okay if you don't see it!" The businessman shouted, "Anyway, believe me!" Pregnant concubines who have had children cannot be sold. Therefore, the women I sold to you have not depreciated much. What's more, these women traveled with me and learned to speak international languages, which is really adding value! Not only that, they are also very good at doing business. Each of them can take the lead and communicate with people from all over the world in the market to make money for you.
"Ah ha ha!" Zhao Jin laughed and said, "So, is it worth buying?"
"It's worth it, it's worth it." The rich businessman nodded repeatedly.
"Well, give me another discount, I'll buy it, and you can go back to eat." So Zhao Jin drew a number.
"Alle!" The rich businessman shouted: "The general is wise! Wishing you all the blessings!"
Zhao Wei smiled and said, "I also wish you a safe journey and a happy family. If you have a chance in the future, come here again and I will treat you well.
So Zhao Jin took gold coins and paid them to the rich businessman. From then on, the concubines of the rich businessmen changed Zhao Jin as their masters, and Zhao Jin restored them to their freedom and became translators. It is very rare for women to be officials in this era. Zhao Jin doesn't care. Since the regime of the rebel army was established by himself, it is up to me to decide how to arrange it.
Since then, these women have changed from a lowly merchant concubine to the general's confidant interpreter, responsible for communicating with people of all ethnic groups in various countries, and their status suddenly became prominent. Moreover, because of their old brains, they still regard Zhao Jin as their "owner and husband", and they are very loyal and can rest assured to let them contact secrets.
In this way, Zhao Jin is much more convenient. Although the price is high, it is really worth it!
