"It's called a rubber tire, and it's made from the sap of the rubber tree. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info divided into inner tube and outer tire. The inner tube is soft and can be inflated, while the outer tire is on the road and is relatively firm. Both the inner and outer tubes are elastic, and they are more elastic when inflated. A carriage made of such wheels would not have the creaking sound of wooden wheels, nor would it vibrate to the point that the brain and ears were uncomfortable, and it would walk briskly, and if it was loaded with goods, the loading capacity would be much larger. Because it is inflatable, the shock absorption effect is very good. The hub in the middle of the tire is made of steel and alloy. ”

"Good, good, good, good. Xia Guan has gained a great insight today. Thank you, thank you, Lord Wang. John Tang went back with a shock in his heart.

John Tang was an official of the imperial court and was once a person whom Emperor Shunzhi trusted very much. Although he did not have any intersection with the prince, he could also hear his respect and admiration for his half-brother in the words of Emperor Shunzhi. What surprised John Tang even more was the ten-fold telescope that Prince Rui gave to Emperor Shunzhi, which almost shook John Tang.

It can be said that Tang himself was a scientist who studied astronomy and the calendar. He admired the telescope invented by Galileo very much, but he was puzzled by the telescope in the hands of Emperor Shunzhi. Because he didn't know that this was the product of 200 years later, and thought it was a telescope of the same era, how could anyone build so many telescopes that surpassed Galileo in such a short time? What other novelties do you have in your hands? Then, he had a strong curiosity about the place where Lord Rui went to wander. According to the inference that the territory provided by Emperor Shunzhi is similar to that of the Great Qing Dynasty, but the population is 1.3 billion, I have searched every corner of the globe and there are no countries similar to the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty! In his heart, Lord Rui is not only a legend, but also a mysterious figure!

When John returned to his church, he couldn't calm down. There is always the carriage of King Rui's Mansion in front of me, and it is the carriage that King Rui brought back when he traveled, and it turned out to be such wheels! I don't know how many times it is better than the Qing Dynasty! Is there really such a country on this earth that is so advanced? Why can't I find the world map? Let's just say that the greenhouse used for raising seedlings and the rubber tires of shiny wheels make him seem to go far ahead. It's not good to ask too many questions when we meet for the first time, but he really wants to ask a lot of questions. How can a person who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable not want to figure it out?

put all the wrought iron fences into the warehouse, and then handed over the silver of the wrought iron and the two hundred taels of holy statues to Tian Liang, who sent the wrought. Tian Liang only accepted the silver of the wrought iron, and the three holy statues resolutely did not accept it: "Mr. Tang, please understand that I am doing business, my lord said that it was given to you, and I can't take your silver, otherwise it will be difficult for my subordinates to explain." ”

"Well, I remember this great favor. Please tell Lord Rui, thank you. ”

"You're polite, your subordinates are retiring." Tian Liang was very afraid that Tang Ruowang would ask about the situation in the foreign land, so after unloading the car, he hurried back home.

John Tang put the "Three Holy Statues" in the most conspicuous position in the church, knelt down, prayed for a long time, and once again seriously thought about what the prince said. I always feel that the story of Lord Rui is not so simple, if it is not in a country on the earth, it is an alien! Yes, aliens!

Only this explanation makes sense! John Tong studied astronomy and knew how vast the universe was, and since there could be a planet like the earth with advanced life, there would be other similar planets!

He sat up and went to the church, where he asked a handyman, who was sweeping the floor, to look for James. He knew the inn where James stayed, and he knew that he was a person who served the French royal family, but he didn't know how he could have a connection with the Rui Palace, and he had a deep friendship with the princess and the concubine. In terms of status, John Tang is much higher than James, he is a member of the imperial court, and James is just a businessman. But James has seen more than John Thompson, and they only know each other because they have a common faith.

"You go to the 'Yingxiang Inn' to find the merchant from France, Mr. James, we are old friends, and you said that I will invite him to a French dinner."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as he heard about eating French dinner, James came without even thinking about it. James is a self-acquaintance and can talk to anyone. In particular, the "fellow countrymen" from Europe are even more invisible. He and John Tang are friends, and they don't regard him as a big official at all. Very casual in front of the soup:

"Hey! Old man Tang, you said that you would invite me to a big meal, why don't you even have the taste of a big meal? ”

"You gluttonous mouth, I'm looking for you to settle accounts! You keep saying that you are a good friend of mine, and in the past, you ate and slept with me, and you didn't tell me the truth, I was very angry! Angry too! John Tong said as he learned James's broken Chinese.

"Wowhaha! Old man Tang, you've gone too far. I introduced you to such beautiful wrought iron, and you scolded me and tricked me into coming to a big meal, so I was angry! ”

"You're so angry! We Westerners treat each other with sincerity when making friends, right? I told you everything about me, and you hid it from me, you Frenchman! ”

"Old man Tang, are you mistaken? When did I hide it from you, even told you such a shameful thing as my woman running away with someone, what else is there to hide from you? ”

"Then why don't you tell me how you met Princess Daqing and Eyu?"

"Hey, that's it? Then I'll tell you, when I knew them, I didn't know that they were from the Qing royal family. You also know that I was in the Rhine Circus, leading a group of people to perform in the Qing Kingdom. Once, during the performance of the tiger training, the tiger bit off the arm of the tiger trainer, and just as the tiger was about to eat his head, the forehead lady, who was not married to the princess at that time, was a small master of the juggling class. Just at the last moment, he turned his head from the audience to the stage, and he didn't know what he said or did, and the tigress was honest at that time. Otherwise, the head of the tiger trainer would have been gone! They saved our lives! Then we performed on the same stage, and then we became business partners. ”

"Wait a minute, just now you said that the Lord Forehead came to the stage from the audience, and then seemed to say something, then the tiger is honest? Did he say it to the tiger or to the tiger trainer? ”

"You old man, you've always been a wise man, don't you understand what I'm saying? What did he say to the tiger trainers? The tiger trainers were lying on the ground and dying, he told the tiger. ”

"The more I listen, the more confused I become, the tiger is an animal, do you know what he is talking about?"

"It's strange here, as soon as he told the tiger that the tiger was honest, he didn't call anymore, and he didn't threaten anymore. Obediently went into the cage by himself. You may say that it was accidental, the tiger is tired, and it can fill its stomach by eating an arm, but do you know what miracles happened to Lord Edon during the performance? ”

"And miracles happen?"

"That's right, Lord Tang. When we performed together, it wasn't me alone, it was the audience, and I watched him turn two cats, a yellow one with brown patterns, a pure white Persian cat, a white Persian cat with blue eyes and long hair, and two cats that were not yet adults, and turned into two big tigers!"

"Just make it up, sensational!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sensational, I won't say it yet. We all believe in God and Jesus, and we don't lie. James was going to cry angrily, with tears in his eyes.

"You guy, how are you like a child? I mean, isn't that weird? ”

"yes, I thought it was bizarre, but it happened, it happened right in front of my eyes! I swear before the Lord Jesus!"

"Okay, okay, I believe you, don't swear casually. You go on, what other miracles? ”

"There are many miracles, I can't finish talking about them for three days and three nights, I don't know if I say goodbye."

"You damn Frenchman, you're going to run away half-talking? Hurry up and say that there is a sumptuous French feast behind you. ”

"Well, for the sake of the feast, I'll tell you about it. It's okay if a cat becomes a tiger, who makes a tiger look like a cat? We in the West have magic tricks, don't we also turn women into men? At that time, I thought, this boy's hand is so fast, and it changed before he could see clearly. Next, people turned such a long small snake into a big dragon, which is the kind of mythical beast on the Oriental painting, the kind of dragon with two antlers on its head, and the scales like fish scales on its body, which is the kind of dragon embroidered on the clothes worn by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. An ordinary person can't see that kind of divine beast, so he conjures it up for you, and it flies in mid-air, scaring the audience stupidly. And then a rooster also turned into a phoenix. Feed! Old man Tang, did you have a stroke? Why won't it move? You freak the hell out of me. Later, we met again in Yunnan, and at this time they stopped performing and started business. It is so beautiful to hook out a very beautiful round flower with a hooked needle and white thread, too! I took a good look, ordered them and brought them back to France and sold them to the royal family, who sewed them on women's skirts, collars, sleeves, and they couldn't be more beautiful! We became business partners again. On our way back to the capital from Yunnan......"

James gushed so much about what he had seen and heard that he had seen and said, "Lord, forgive me for not hiding this, for Father Tong did not believe me." ”

"No, no, it's not that I don't believe it, it's your story that I can't accept for the time being, let me digest it, okay?"

"Then you digest it first, my French meal is gone, I have to find a place to eat."

"Come back, come back! I said there was a French dinner, it was ready, in the backyard. John Tang shrugged.

"That's pretty much it." James shrugged as well.

John Tang did regard James as a bosom friend, and after eating a French dinner, he told James about the difference between Eastern and Western cultures: "Prince Rui is the first to say that the god we believe in is a righteous god, and he does not have a negative attitude towards our beliefs like some Orientals." In Dongtu these years, I often feel powerless, maybe I am really old and old, you tell the truth, should I go back? I will exchange the money in my hand for francs, go back and buy a house, and my brother's son can take care of me, and I will enjoy my old age in peace? ”

"You old man, I'm just thinking about it now. I told you that you can accept the astronomical and calendar laws you are engaged in, but if you tell them God and Jesus, only a small number of them can believe it. You also know in the Qing and Ming dynasties that people here have something ingrained in their minds, and you just think that believing in foreign religion is forgetting your ancestors. Also, although Buddhism came from India, after all, it is something from the East, and the ideas in it are easy to accept. I've been to India, and Buddhism has been introduced to the East for thousands of years, and it's deep-rooted, and their Taoism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the Tang Dynasty. I'm not beating you, you're worried that you're losing your life because of the sermon. ”

"How can it be so serious as you say?"

"Not serious? Now this young emperor of the Qing Dynasty is so grassy and soldier when he writes poems to others, not to mention that your doctrine is really not in line with the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, so I advise you to ......"

"I know you're kind, and I have to think about it, and you know that I've been here for more than 40 years, and I'm worried about whether I'll be able to adapt when I go back."

"That's your homeland, what's wrong with it? Listen to my advice, don't play with your head. What do you look at me? You think you have a very high status and prestige in the Qing Kingdom, but the ruler is different from what you think, forget it. ”

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

"What to do? You have dealt with the affairs here, resigned with Emperor Kangxi, and returned to your hometown, you are not from the Qing Dynasty, and people here like to say that the leaves fall back to their roots. If you don't feel comfortable going back, go to France and be my neighbor, and I will take care of you, don't look at my temper, and treat you as patient as a child. I'm afraid you won't be able to trust me. ”

John Tang choked up. In the more than 40 years in Dongtu, he has seen a lot of things here, aren't there many Qing officials who say that their solar eclipse is grandstanding? What kind of careful calculation did you calculate? A word from someone can negate you. Tang Ruowang felt that Prince Rui's words were very meaningful, but people couldn't say more, after all, the emperor was his own nephew, and when it came to this point, he had already done his duty.

A few words from the prince made John Tang change his original intention, that is, to spread Catholicism and build hundreds of Catholic churches on the land of the Qing Dynasty! Spread the Gospel of God to the hearts of everyone in the Qing Kingdom. But that's easier said than done! I've done my best to do what I should do, can I retreat bravely?

"In this way, don't you still have to order with Rui Wangfu? Then I will ship back to France, and I will take advantage of this time to finish the business in the church, and then go back to Europe with you. ”

"Hey! Have you really decided? If so, I'm so happy for you! Go home, the Qing people have a saying: Although Liang Yuan is not the hometown of long-term love. ”

Tang Ruowang thought of the fifth year of Kangxi, and the Muslim Yang Guangxian wrote a letter to impeach Tang Ruowang for ten fallacies in the new Western calendar, especially the choice of the funeral period of the fourth son of Prince Rong of Shunzhi misused the five elements of Hongfan, and the mountain direction and the year and month were all committed to taboo killing, which was a matter of great importance (Prince Rong died of illness in the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, and his mother Concubine Dong E also died of illness two years later, and one hundred and thirty-six days later, Emperor Shunzhi died).

Because Emperor Kangxi was young at that time, he was not yet in power, and the auxiliary minister Ao Bai was dissatisfied with the participation of foreigners in court politics, so he supported Yang Guangxian. As a result, Tang Ruowang and a number of officials of the Qin Tianjian were sentenced to beheading, and later due to a comet in the sky and an earthquake in the capital, the sentence was changed to avoid death for Tang Ruowang, Du Rupre, and Yang Hongliang, and Li Zubai and other five people were still beheaded. Although Emperor Kangxi decided to rehabilitate the case after taking office, it was not implemented after all, could it be that he had worked hard for decades to end up in a different place?
