Chapter 36 Catholic

So many conditions are placed in front of the Holy See, which makes them feel a big head, but considering that they can open this gap and get such an opportunity to preach openly, it is really hard for them. After repeated negotiations, the Holy See had to pinch their nose and admit it, and the two sides also signed a written agreement. It has completely established the claim that the sea wolf is the largest in the territory of the sea wolf.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the Holy See began to send missionaries to Danshui, Keelung and Kaohsiung to start building churches. All building materials are purchased locally, and craftsmen must also be hired from sea wolves, which is called labor*! This made the sea wolf make a lot of money from the Holy See.

In fact, what Xiaotian really needs is the Western cultural system, especially the gradually forming educational and cultural system, which he can't reach for the time being.

Yu Xiaotian has always had a headache about education. Although he knows a lot of modern education and remembers some courses from primary school to college, the problem is that he can't build a complete education system on his own.

And as the boss of an interest group, he can be said to be vulgar and has not enough time to do these things.

For a long time, the school established by Sea Wolf has lacked enough qualified teachers. Although he has tried his best to get a lot of scholars to fill in the school to serve as teachers, these scholars are all edified by the old-style imperial examination system. There is a level of eight-part literature, but it is limited to this. At most, those students can only read and some useful human principles, but they can't teach them enough other things.

Therefore, Sea Wolf's schools have only taught some literacy and literacy, at best some of the simplest basic mathematics, but it is impossible to teach more other subjects.

The students he has educated can only take the road of taking the imperial examination in the future. If it goes on like this, his purpose of building a school will be completely useless.

But this time, the Catholic side has provided him with a rare way to solve the problem. To be honest, these priests are all devout believers, but in order to better preach, the Holy See asked the missionaries to choose several disciplines, which can be said to have their own expertise.

Some people are proficient in physics, some are proficient in natural sciences, some are proficient in painting, some are proficient in music, and some are specialized in medicine.

And missionaries are most likely to impress people by preaching their teachings by treating diseases and saving people, which eventually makes some people feel the greatness of God and eventually choose to become believers.

And the various sciences that these missionaries carry are undoubtedly Yu Xiaotian's most greedy things. Although there are many unscientific things in these emerging disciplines, or even in a bud, they are much more systematic than the current Daming.

These are exactly what Yu Xiaotian needs. He may not have to learn these things, but he hopes that through the scientific knowledge given to them by these missionaries and professors, he will open a path to science, take root and germinate on the land under his control and eventually thrive.

Maybe the vast majority of his students can't become talented, but as long as a very small number of them can eventually choose a subject and study, and eventually achieve success and specialize in technology, then he will make a complete profit.

He built an education system, instead of teaching students one or two things. As long as this education system is established and improved in the future, he believes that sooner or later, he believes that all kinds of brilliant science and technology flowers can bloom on the education system he has established.

At present, it seems that the easiest way is to introduce these missionaries to serve as free teachers for him, squeeze out what they have learned as much as possible, and even arrange some smart children as an exception to those missionaries, so that they can act as students and concentrate on learning each missionary. What I learned.

This made the missionaries very satisfied. Although they were a little dissatisfied with the various rules set by the sea wolf before arriving in Taiwan, especially in their view, it was the most unacceptable not to preach any theology and teachings in the school, but the Holy See wanted to seize this rare opportunity. Will, or clearly order them to abide by the various rules set by the sea wolf here.

However, after they arrived at Sea Wolf, they were allowed to choose five to ten students with excellent students and like what they taught, as their own students, to study beside them, which gave them some hope.

Since they can't openly spread doctrine and theology in the school, these intelligent students selected by them can follow them and receive their education for a long time, so that they can imperceptibly spread some teachings to these students and make him They develop into believers, which is equivalent to giving them one more chance out of thin air.

Therefore, the enthusiasm for the work of these missionaries is quite high, and the results are also quite "rich". In just two years, nearly 1,000 believers have been developed in various parts of Taiwan Island, which is undoubtedly a huge progress compared with those missionaries who are struggling in the mainland.

Although the vast majority of these believers are old, weak, women and children, and even some are proboriginal people. For the fact that few believers have not been developed in the sea wolf group, they do not have any ability to affect the senior management of the sea wolf group, but even so, it makes the senior officials of the church feel happy. What's more, he invested human, material and financial resources in Taiwan Island, and tried to make friends with the Sea Wolf Group.

And the Holy See still has considerable influence in Europe. They affect the politics of many European countries and even influence the decisions of some countries. At least for the Portuguese, the Holy See has a strong influence.

Under the influence of the Macao Church, the Portuguese of the Macao authorities have also established deeper cooperation with the sea wolf. On the one hand, they can obtain more valuable Chinese goods from the sea wolf, and on the other hand, they can also sell more things to the sea wolf, which is a great joy for both sides.

And what gratified the Portuguese was that in their contact with the top officials of the sea wolves, they did not find any coveted by the sea wolves, especially their ideas for defrauding Macao, which made Macao Portuguese feel very relieved, because now the sea wolves have become a threat to their lives here. If the sea wolves are hostile to them, then they have to be alert to the sea wolves.

After all, the sea wolf has now beaten the Spaniards and the Dutch, and even cleaned up the Dutch. Now even the big member port has to pay the sea wolf in the name of lease, and the sea wolf can expel it at any time, even they build castles and cannons in the big member port. Taiwan can only be implemented with the consent of the sea wolf.

So the Portuguese's worries are also reasonable, but after years of dealing with the sea wolf, they find that this worry is a little superfluous. This sea wolf seems to be very happy to see it. Watching them settle in Macao and always maintain a certain amount of trade with them, which makes Portugal People are much more assured of sea wolves. Often, when sea wolves make some procurement requirements for them, the Portuguese will try their best to meet the requirements of sea wolves.

In recent years, the Portuguese have brought oil for the sea wolf many times. Although they don't know what the sea wolf does with this oil, as long as the sea wolf needs it, they will find a way to get it for the sea wolf. In addition, it also includes a large number of Indian cotton cloth and Indian cotton raised from Goa, India, which also brought a lot for the sea wolf. Even the black monkey slaves on Annan's side, the Portuguese also transported them to the sea wolf by boat. Of course, there was a large amount of rice on Annan's side, and a large amount of rice was dumped by them to the sea wolf.

Sea Wolf is now greatly developing Taiwan Island. The work of opening up wasteland and transforming the living environment requires a lot of cheap labor, which makes it possible for both Portuguese, Spaniards and even the Dutch, and even the British who have not yet controlled many colonies in Asia to find huge business opportunities.

Over the years, the sea wolf has been buying the indigenous hard labor of black monkeys from pirates. Now it has become a huge commercial market. Every year, many pirates find ways to catch the indigenous black monkeys and transport them to Taiwan Island to deliver them to sea wolves.

Now that these Europeans have found this business opportunity, they will naturally not miss this opportunity. Among the colonies they occupy, there are many disobedient indigenous people. Usually, these indigenous people are not concerned. Now some people want these indigenous slaves. Of course, they are willing to exchange these indigenous people for some money or merchants. Product.

So in the past two years, even the Spaniards and the Dutch began to trade in transport slaves to Taiwan. During this period, the Dutch, Spaniards and Portuguese even proposed that if the sea wolves needed it, they could also transport some black slaves to seawolves from Africa, because in their view, these blacks Compared with these black-skinned monkeys in Southeast Asia, slaves are more hard-working, more physical and more adaptable.

But Yu Xiaotian was not very interested in this, but symbolically let them each transport a small group of black slaves, with a total of less than 1,000 people.

These black slaves are all very strong, much taller than ordinary men, and they have all experienced the ** of slave traders and are very obedient.

Although Yu Xiaotian did not like to do such a thing, when he saw this group of black slaves, he still decided to keep them, but he did not treat them like the indigenous black monkeys in Southeast Asia and gave good treatment to this group of black slaves.
