Chapter 6 Trading
For Xiao Tianjian's request, several missionaries looked at each other and immediately agreed like a worm, because Xiao Tianjian's request was not too much. After all, it was very normal for a foreigner to have a certain guard against their Catholicism, so he asked to pass it. The teaching must pass his review, which they can absolutely accept.
Xiao Tianjian continued, "As you know, China is still in the stage of war. I will be very busy during this period, and I won't have time to ask you anything for the time being, so you can prepare for a period of time! You can even go back and report this to your Holy See, that is to say, the emperor of Greater China agrees to come to China to preach, but one requirement is that you must send the best missionaries. These missionaries must be full of learning. Before everyone comes, they must translate at least three books before they come. Get the right to enter the country, otherwise everything will be discussed!
Missionaries who come to preach must do this. I require these missionaries to have the expertise of more than one discipline and have their own treatise! Whether it is astronomical geography, calculation, smelting, physics, chemistry or even medicine, you must have expertise! This is also one of the most basic conditions for them to come to our country!
Besides, I also know that your life is very difficult now. I can provide you with the expenses you need to return to the Holy See, and I can even give you a chance to make a fortune. After all, God does not object to you having more wealth! I don't know if you would like to hear my proposal?"
As soon as several missionaries heard it, even if they were very happy, it was very clear how many Chinese people came to this country. At present, on this large land of China, there are at least more than 10,000 or even 20,000 people. The total population of the whole Europe is not so much now. If the Holy See knows If the new emperor of Taoist China is willing to let them enter the country to publicize, he will be very happy. In that case, how many believers can they add to God? Now they have made great contributions to the Holy See. At least the Holy See will give them a position as a cardinal, which is a great honor!
As for Xiao Tianjian's request, they were a little confused, but then they were submerged by this huge **. The emperor of China looked very enlightened. Since he asked that the missionary must be a well-learned person, then give it to him a well-learned person. As for the translation of various books, read these missionaries. Come on, this is exactly what they need. Culture must be spread through books. If he wants it, just give it to him!
In addition, I suddenly heard Xiao Tianjian say that he could provide each of them with a chance to make a fortune, so these people were even more happy. Although they were very religious to God, it did not mean that they did not want to have wealth. Look at this Gao Su, who used to be just a gunner and mercenary in Portugal. Nowadays, in China, they are not only rich, but also have a lot of status. On the contrary, these respected missionaries, they have eaten a meal and almost slept on the street, which is almost the same as beggars. Now Xiao Tianjian provides them with an opportunity to make a fortune. What about them? What about being happy?
So these missionaries kowtowed and nodded like rice, asking Xiao Tianjian to say what he thought.
Xiao Tianjian showed a treacherous smile at the corners of his mouth. The iron head and a few personal bodyguards next to him immediately had a chill. Every time Xiao Tianjian smiled like this at the corners of his mouth, he was about to dig a hole for people! So several of them, who were quite sympathetic, looked at the red-haired devils kneeling below and prayed silently for them in their hearts.
Even Gao Su felt that Xiao Tianjian seemed to have some plans for these missionaries, and he was a little uneasy, but if you think about it carefully, now he should be with Xiao Tianjian. Xiao Tianjian doesn't cheat these guys and do his bullshit! The reason why he brought these guys to see Xiao Tianjian is that they are all Europeans. As for how Xiao Tianjian cheats them, he doesn't care!
"This matter is actually very simple. It is very easy for you to do, and it can even be said to be a matter of hand! I need some people now. Among these people, there should be not only sailors who are very familiar with sailing boats on the sea, but also smart craftsmen who can build large ships for navigation. After you return to China, you will help me recruit a group of such people. I can give them a very high salary, but you can recruit every one. How about I give you 20 silver coins? If it's too little, it doesn't matter if there are thirty! In a word, the more such people, the better, but remember, these people must be masters. I don't want them to be indiscriminate. If you don't screen them in advance, then you will need to spend money to support them in the future, and there is no need to mention the bounty!
And if you know some people who are regarded as pagans by your Holy See, these people are regarded as aliens by you because of some conflicts with your doctrines, and you don't want to burn them to death, just bring them back to me, and you can tell them that I don't care about their kind of offending you. The doctrine of the Holy See and can provide them with sufficient funds so that they can carry out their academic research here. For example, people like Galileo and Bruno are also a scourge to stay with you. Just bring them back to me! As long as they have real talent and learning, I will reward you!
This is a private transaction between you and me, which has nothing to do with your Holy See. You can consider it. If you do well enough, I will give you missionary work in my country in the future and do more convenience! You will also be rewarded by your Holy See. Why not? Xiao Tianjian was like a big gray wolf wagging its tail, with a treacherous smile on his face full of ** power, and induced several missionaries.
After listening to this, several missionaries immediately became happy. This business is a great deal for them. Every time they find a smart sailor and a smart shipbuilder for the emperor of China, they can get 20 silver coins, which is definitely a great wealth for ten people. It's 200 silver coins, and a hundred people are 2,000 silver coins. If enough people can be recruited, the funds and living expenses of their mission in China in China in the future can be solved. At least they have no worries about food and clothing, which is much better than their wandering life now, and even they can take the exam. Think about bringing their families here to settle down in the future! What a wonderful future!
And now there are many adventurers in Europe. They all know that there is a rich and huge country in the distant East. Many ambitious and able people are eager to have the opportunity to venture into this country to make a fortune. Recruiting such people for them With the identity of the Holy See, they are very easy to recruit. It can be said that they want as much as they want. As long as they are brought here, they can be exchanged for white silver coins in the hands of the Chinese emperor. This can definitely be said to be a capitalless business. It's too easy to do!
As for Xiao Tianjian asking them to accept those scholars who are regarded as different teachings by the Holy See, although they don't know what the Chinese emperor wants these people to do, it is also a scourge for the Holy See to stay in Europe. Now the Chinese emperor is willing to accept them and provide them with funds for them to study. Yes, and these people can also get high rewards. Why not?
So these missionaries didn't think much about it, so they immediately nodded and agreed.
Xiao Tianjian was very satisfied with this conversation with them. After chatting with them for a while, he waved and sent them out, and asked the household department to allocate a special amount of money to improve their lives for them first, and then find a way to arrange someone to send them to Ningbo, find a boat for them to get on and find a plan to return. In short, when these people come back again, it is when he harvests. Many people don't understand this matter very well, but Xiao Tianjian has always been very unusual. These officials have long been used to the style of their emperor. In short, in their opinion, their emperor is by no means that kind of painstaking effort* * People who want to have fun must have a reason to do this, so they just do it.
So several down-and-out missionaries immediately trembled, raised their eyebrows and exhaled one by one. They couldn't wait for almost a moment. They immediately took the road money Xiao Tianjian gave them, embarked on the road back to Europe, and rushed back to report this great "happy news" to their Holy See!
