Chapter 686: Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, the differences of missionaries

"The name of voluntary donation sounds good, but have you ever heard that when I was recuperating in my hometown, Xiuning had a hot joke about forced donation due to the dispute over summer tax silk in one prefecture and six counties."

After Wang Fulin changed the topic, he talked about the cause and effect of the matter in a few words. Seeing that Mr. Huang Qi was a little embarrassed, while other merchants looked at each other and said with a smile: "Also, aren't you afraid that there will be another next time after donating wages? To put it bluntly, I used to know that your wealth was one thing, but now others take out so much money without blinking when they see you. That's another thing."

Could it be that the gifts they gave before were too generous and valuable, that Wang Fulin only reciprocates?

This is the thought that arises in most people. Of course, a few people also keenly realize that they have embarked on the career of officialdom at a young age. Wang Fulin, who has a clear future, will take care of them so well because he is also from a merchant family. At present, Mr. Huang Qi is still the representative of everyone, but this time he bows deeply.

"Please give me some advice."

"How many ships do the Portuguese dock in the Mojing every year? How do officials steal the leaks when they are sucking? When they are transporting goods, did they really win taxes for one ten times? How many Australian tickets given to you every year are collected according to the actual amount? How many of them are you inconsistent? And how many goods are there? They are shipped from outside the Australian tickets?"

After five consecutive questions, Wang Fulin saw that most of the merchants looked calm, and only young master Feng San was so young and evaded his own scrutiny. He knew that these were all old men and did not expect that these few words could intimidate people: "I think you can understand that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the best. Even among the officials of the court, there are also merchants who are regarded as low-key as usual. The name of the deliberation bureau was reported. If some people in the court reacted strongly, they became a county in Haojing, or the Maritime Bureau withdrew from Guangzhou Prefecture, but sent tax and customs eunuchs, or the Ministry of Revenue directly sent the head to Haojing. That would be more than worth the loss. Someone just mentioned military expenditure. Now Guangdong and Guangxi is the time to use military service, and military expenditure is the top priority, so this matter can be decided as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, he stood up and said, "Okay. Today I will say that, and I will consider it. I will go to Zhaoqing Prefecture to see Lingtai, so I will lose my companion first. By the way, when I went to Xiangshan Academy before, although I saw the outer wall, the Confucian Temple had not been rebuilt for many years. This time, many wealthy merchants from Haojing in Xiangshan County have generously donated money. They also asked Gu County Magistrate and Zhang Zhizhi to take charge of this matter and rebuilt the Confucian Temple. If there is any excess, even Minglun Hall will be repaired one by one. If there is more, I will use it to build Guangzhou Prefecture School. You are in business, but you are concerned about education and are a model of merchants."

Seeing Wang Fulin get up and come to Chen Bingchang, who is in charge of today's recording, pick up a list, and then walk in front of him and hand it over, Gu Jing took it in surprise and saw that it was the day's gift list. He suddenly realized it and quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "The officials must carefully select craftsmen to repair the academy." Of course, he would not ask how these real objects turned into money. If you have to teach Wang Fulin, you don't need to be the county magistrate. And if the Confucian Temple Academy is fully repaired, his political achievements can finally reach a level. If you follow Wang Fulin and work hard, you may have hope of entering the famous official temple in the future!

Until this time, Mr. Cai, who had just received the gift, and Chen Bingchang, who had copied the gift list, also understood the mystery. The former was amazed at the same time. The gift that was definitely more than 10,000 taels was added together. Wang Fulin dispersed it, and even if it was to be generous to others, it was not everyone who could withstand the temptation, at least his boss Gu Jing could not do it. Chen Bingchang was relieved and happy that he had read the wrong person and the wrong person. Of course, Wang Fulin could not be a corrupt official who was moved when he saw gold, silver and treasures.

As for the twenty or thirty merchants here, when they saw Wang Fulin abandoning all the treasures, they said they wanted to use this to build the Xiangshan County Academy. Even though they had never seen a prodigal son who had spent money like soil, some were still amazed, some were stumbled, and some were secretly scolding for wasting natural resources. You must know that some of those things were precious treasures that could not be bought even if they were spending money!

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Gu Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to press it. Seeing that he still couldn't suppress the situation, he suddenly missed the gavel in the lobby and had to raise his voice and shouted, "You are so proud that you donate the rare things. This is a good intention, but it is inconvenient for the small households in Xiangshan County to cash in on behalf of the small households in Xiangshan County. How about you please exchange these things according to the market price? I will thank you for your students in Xiangshan County Academy and Guangzhou Prefecture School!"

Even though many people wanted to vomit blood, they still had to agree with Gu Jing's proposal at least not to use the pearls to waste natural resources. As for Wang Fulin, instead of using these as military expenses, they wanted to build a school, all the old foxes who were all in the shopping malls knew it.

In the final analysis, building a school palace is a good deed, and donating military funds is a show of wealth. The government has never been a way to blackmail them repeatedly, but forcibly sending donations for military funds. Although Wang Fulin refused to accept gifts, he was still kind enough to take into account this!

Although the riot on the dock had been several days, the charred and mottled ship of Lisbon was still full of traces of fierce fighting. The blood on the deck had been washed by the sea water of the big buckets, so faint that it was almost impossible to see clearly, but the bullet holes and swords were still visible. Among the sailors who came to do things on the ship, almost everyone was wearing color, limping, hanging their arms, and even turning into a one-eyed dragon with one eye, with either dejected or gritting their teeth.

So much so that when Macau Bishop Jia Nailao walked on the deck, his face was so gloomy that it could condense into water. And the few people around him were rushing to speak one by one.

"Your Excellency, the damage suffered by the Lisbon will take at least one or two months to set sail again. And in that rebellion, Baron Franco was seriously injured. A first mate on the ship was killed, four sailors died, and after we sent people to aid, there were more than thirty people who were slightly injured. Moreover, with such personnel, it is difficult for the Lisbon to travel to the country again."

"Your Excellency, Baron Franco's injuries are very serious. Although he received timely treatment in the church's hospital, he is still in a dangerous period."

"Your Excellency, all the merchants who often go to Haojing to trade were summoned to Xiangshan County by Ming officials. I am worried that things will be in the most unfavorable direction."

In the face of these extremely bad news, Jia Nailao couldn't help but hold the cross on his chest tightly, took a deep breath and then vomited again, his voice as calm as ever: "The mastermind of the rebellion has not been arrested yet?"

"No. The cunning guy jumped into the sea with a few accomplices, and the guy who jumped into the sea before should be just a fool, just to attract Baron Franco to board the ship. I think this matter was probably planned for a long time. If it weren't for this time, these people would probably have taken action at sea. We sent ships to search the sea later. This damn Victor might have already fed the fish and caught the bodies of the two accomplices. He should have drowned before he could land! Otherwise, he must hang these guys in the center of Macau and let everyone see their fate!"

Sir Lopez, a middle-aged man who was accompanying Jainalaw, was the captain of another large ship outside the Lisbon. Of course, the so-called Jainalaw was just his claim. He claimed that this was a title in Tuscany, Italy, and cursed a few words in anger, but because the clergyman was not an ordinary person, he immediately stopped talking cautiously. However, Jainalaw suddenly asked him an irrelevant question.

"When will a recent ship that may be coming from Lisbon?"

"From the news from Goa before, it is said that Princess Flora is said to be the ship originally from Spain." Speaking of this, Sir Lopez paused. Thinking that Jainalao had asked several famous captains for inquiring about the situation in the Iberian Peninsula, he comforted him, "Your Majesty is still worried about the situation in the country? Your Majesty's personal battle to attack Morocco should have begun. Damn, you shouldn't fight this battle when the Spanish stand by! Your Majesty is not married yet. And there is no heir. What's more damn is that he doesn't even have an illegitimate child. If there is any, then the throne of Portugal will be vacant. May God forgive my sins, and Your Majesty he should be fine now."

He drew a cross on his chest as if he was decent, but his face obviously did not feel any ashamed of his criticism of the monarch.

"The ship that set sail the day before yesterday will head to Goa. I asked them to bring a handwritten letter to His Majesty. I hope he can be safe."

Of course, Janailau would not criticize the madness of Portugal King Sebastian I leading his army to attack Morocco alone. Because this king who believed in the Jesuits was able to take root in Portugal because of his support. Over the years, countless priests like him have vowed to join the Jesuits. Of course, it is not only Portugal, but also the king of Spain, Philip II of the Habsburg family, but also the supporter and sponsor of the Jesuits. However, because of Sebastian I's unremitting actions, the marriage between the two countries has obviously become a bubble.

Although the clergy has no borders, as a Portuguese, of course he did not want to have the scene he had heard before. Once the double-headed eagle swallowed the golden castle, that is, Spain annexed Portugal, then in the church and in the Jesuits, the forces of various factions would of course have a contrast between the rise and fall of one. Moreover, through the turmoil before Haojing and the reactions of those merchants, he had completely confirmed that the young Ming man before was really the Guangdong Censor himself. In addition, Wang Fulin's understanding of Western countries, although he still had some doubts, he had to pay attention to the possibility that the double-headed eagle swallowed the golden castle was a foreseeable dream.

However, the other party's next attitude towards Portugal was too worrying, especially after witnessing the riot on the dock!

When Jia Nailao inspected the entire ship and personally gave holy water to the injured crew, he got off the boat through the wooden ladder surrounded by Sir Lopez and others. However, when he arrived at the Virgin Mary of Wangde, the local believers who sent to Xiangshan County to deliver the letter were already here, and the delivery was not good news. Because it is said that Wang Fulin had left Xiangshan County and went to Zhaoqing Prefecture, the letter he sent was not found at all, and the messenger from Xiangshan did not dare to pass Jia Nailao's letter through the Xiangshan County Magistrate, so he could only go to the Taoist Prefecture again.

Seeing that the bishop's face was very serious, the local believer who was temporarily acting as a messenger hesitated for a while before whispering: "Your Excellency, because Mr. Wang is not in the county government, the merchants are not here. I specifically inquired about it in the city, but nothing was revealed. I only heard that the merchants gathered together to discuss and discuss. It seems that this time Mr. Wang summoned them, which involved a big deal."

"knew."

After killing the messenger, Jia Nailau thought about it and discussed with his most confidant priest, and finally decided to send someone to hand over the bodies of the two drowned rebels to the Xiangshan County Government to see if the case could be offset. At the same time, the return was also a considerable amount of wealth confiscated from the warehouse where the mastermind and several rebels lived. But shortly after this group of people left, he welcomed two guests, but two priests of the same Jesuit.

His position in the Catholic Church was higher than that of two, but because the Diocese of Macau had just been established, the Jesus Church had not had time to establish whether it was a church province or a parish, so naturally there was no need to assign a president and a dean. Therefore, his and the two had equal status in the Jesuits.

Unlike Jia Nailau, who gave a Chinese name, even on a foreign land, these two missionaries insisted on using their original names and only used Portuguese and Latin in daily life. They were disdainful of learning the Ming Dynasty language. When they were exhibiting believers, they even gave people the Portuguese name, allowing people to live in the Portuguese way. Therefore, after the greetings, his two colleagues said everything they said, and they all accused him of bringing the Ming people to the dock, which led to this tragedy.

At first, Jia Nailau explained patiently, but after the two people's accusations became more and more unreasonable, and even shouted about uniting and sent troops to fight back, he finally calmed down: "I know you want to let them see the results of your mission before the arrival of the Far East Survey Envoy, but please keep your eyes open and see the reality clearly. This is the Ming Dynasty, not India, nor Manraca. The strong ships and cannons of Portugal once sank here, and the heads of the Portuguese were once hung on the gate of Guangzhou. The Portuguese once appeared in any place and would be surrounded and killed by people holding swords! If you hope to see a Macau burned into scorched earth before the Far East Survey Envoy arrives, then you can incite our compatriots!"

ps: The first update. (To be continued.)

ps: I recently watched a fairy tale with a good reputation, but after all, it is still respected as the law of the jungle. To be honest, since the mortal abortion began to become popular, both the sects and the escalation stream have been intrigues, and the sects have killed people and robbed people outside the sects. It is said that the immortal cultivation text is almost the same, and the word "通通" is basically impossible to see. Here I strongly recommend the Master of One Life. In addition to the infinite flow at the beginning, it will make people stumble, but the real plot outside the dungeon is the essence, especially the enlightenment part is really deep in the essence of martial arts. The chapters that break through the Dharma body have a very strong plot tension. This is the author's comment, and there is no charge, but I don't know if you can see it.
