After eating wine and food, Zhu Youxiao asked Guo Jingju and the others to be sent out.

Then, the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face disappeared in an instant.

Glancing at the Wei Dynasty who walked in, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Back to the emperor, Xu Guangqi and Xu Ge ask to see him." Wei Chao hurriedly said.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned.

He understood what Xu Guangqi was here for, and to put it bluntly, he asked him not to embarrass these foreign missionaries too much.

It seems that their friendship is quite deep.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said, "No, let him go." ”

Zhu Youxiao really didn't want to see Xu Guangqi, and he was unhappy in his heart.

It was not a good thing for these civil officials to be friendly with foreign missionaries.

When a country's officials don't believe in what they should believe in, but instead believe in something else, that's a troublesome thing. Just like later generations, officials who do not believe in Marxism-Leninism and start to go to the West is a disaster for the country.

What's more, in the Ming Dynasty, officials also have another function, that is, academic authority, and what they say can make many people believe, which is much more than the ability of later generations to know. If these officials want to make people outside believe in these foreigners' things, then there will be a big trouble.

So Zhu Youxiao decided to suppress it, and this is just the beginning.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid immediately commanded them to go down. Wei Chao hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and thought quietly, and Wei Chao walked back from outside, obviously the words had already been spread.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and said directly: "There is an errand for you to do, I don't know if you can do it well." ”

After hearing this, Wei Chao was so excited that he almost jumped up.

You must know that since the emperor ascended the throne, the status of the Wei Dynasty has not improved much. Seeing that the status of the eunuchs who served by the emperor's side had improved very quickly, the eyes of the Wei Dynasty were red with jealousy.

Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian's status is also very high. Only he Wei Dynasty went to Liaodong for several years, what is this called?

Although he has returned to the emperor's side now, he has always been squeezed out by Chen Hong, and he can be said to be powerless and powerless.

Under such circumstances, how could Wei Chao's heart be satisfied? He also wants to be favored by the emperor, and he also wants to soar.

Now that he heard that the emperor had an errand handed over to him, how could he not be excited in his heart?

For the Wei Dynasty, this is an opportunity, an opportunity that can make him soar!

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time, and it is naturally impossible to say that he can't do it at this time.

Wei Chao knelt directly on the ground and said categorically: "Don't worry, the emperor will definitely do things well!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "It's good that you have such confidence, this errand is very important, in addition to doing the errand well, you must also keep it secret, and you must not leak the news." Once the news leaks, you know what happened. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will not leak the news." Wei Chao hurriedly agreed.

Regarding the emperor's orders, the Wei Dynasty did not plan to reduce the slightest bit of execution, and he had to work hard to do this matter well.

As for the leak of the news, it is even more unlikely.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "They will soon build a library and a church." I want you to take care of it. ”

After hearing this, Wei Chao was stunned.

What kind of errand is this?

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be something he did. Whatever is built there, he doesn't have to do it. This kind of thing is not a big deal, and a small official can do it.

Wei Chao hesitated a little, not knowing what to say.

"It's just scratching the surface." Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and continued: "On the surface, it is for you to cooperate with them, coordinate the relationship between the yamen and all parties, and help them handle things well. Actually, there is something else. ”

Hearing this, Wei Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that there was a secret mission.

That's good.

Secret missions are very important to them, because if you can help the Emperor carry out secret missions, it means that you are the Emperor's henchman. You haven't done any black work for the emperor, why are you embarrassed to say that you are a confidant?

"I promised them to build a church, but I only promised." Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and said directly.

Zhu Youxiao just said this to Wei Chao here, he would never tell others when he turned back, and he wouldn't admit it if someone asked.

After all, the emperor's words must count, the respect of the ninety-five, and the nine peaks of his word. This kind of thing that is not counted after what is said in the front cannot be preached.

If this news leaks out, the Wei Dynasty will not end well.

After hearing this, Wei Chao lowered his head and didn't care.

For the Wei Dynasty, whatever the emperor said was right. It's just a group of foreigners, what can you do if you don't agree? Can they still jump up and down and do anything?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and was very satisfied with his performance. Zhu Youxiao continued: "We must build a library first, and tell them that this library will let them pay for it themselves, and I will not pay for them. This library should be built big, big enough. ”

Wei Chao listened while silently thinking about how big this library would be. Is it okay to build it as big as an official's mansion?

Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether the Wei Dynasty listened or not, and continued: "In addition to the collection of books they brought themselves, our Ming Dynasty's collection of books must also be included in different categories. When the time comes, I will give you a drawing, and the library will be built according to the drawing, and the money will be paid for them. As for how big the project of this library is, you can repair it according to the imperial tomb. ”

After hearing this, Wei Chao was so surprised that he could stuff an egg in his mouth.

Today's emperor has always been very frugal, and after ascending the throne, he stopped the construction of the palace; For the imperial tombs of the first two emperors, it can also be saved.

But even if it's a province, it's an imperial tomb, and the cost is scary enough.

How much will it cost to build the library like this?

Although those foreigners are rich, it's not such a way to spend!

The Wei Dynasty also understood that the emperor wanted to squeeze all those people's money out, and then build a Ming library for the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Slaves know how to do it. Wei Chao hurriedly agreed: "The first phase of the project is planned to be built for ten years first, and if ten years is not enough, it will be repaired for another ten years." ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Chao appreciatively.

It's good, it's good to be able to understand your intentions!

"This library is built in the new city. We will set aside a piece of space next to the Confucian Temple to build this library. You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

"When the foreigners from all over the world arrive in the capital, I will prepare a house for them there, and let them all move in. All you have to do is keep an eye on them and ask them to translate all the books they have brought into the Great Ming script. ”

Compared with other countries in the world, the Ming Dynasty in this era has not lagged behind much, but in natural science, it has begun to lag behind. Especially in various aspects, we are even more backward in ideology and ideology, and we are also backward in the pursuit of science.

The importance of this batch of books to Daming is really, really great. If it weren't for these books, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't have bothered to coax these foreigners.

What's more, as time goes by, more and more foreigners will come to Daming. Zhu Youxiao wants to use these people to set an example, and when he turns around, he will let people release the news to attract more Westerners.

As for these foreigners after they arrived in the capital, they naturally let them translate books and engage in research. Zhu Youxiao will let some of them go to work in the Baigong Institute and study with the people of the Baigong Institute.

In short, it is to know people and do what they are good at.

If they want to preach, they have to wait. The faith of the Ming Dynasty cannot allow them to mess up and jump up and down in a missionary process.

What is preached?

Zhu Youxiao will limit the contact range of these foreigners and prevent them from messing around.

As for what to use to make these foreigners die, it is very simple, let them revise their doctrines, and then Da Ming will sow discord among them, let them have differences among themselves, form two sects, and fight each other for a period of time.

In addition, there is a delay in building the church, and the church will not be built if the library is not repaired anyway.

Always in a word, work, work, work!

It's just that Zhu Youxiao won't tell anyone about this kind of thought.

After gathering these foreigners, Zhu Youxiao will insert a large number of spies into it to monitor them at any time to see who is more dangerous and has more radical ideas.

Such a dangerous person is like a rat, and if he is not worthy of staying in my Celestial Empire, he should be killed directly.

There is no need to say these words to the Wei Dynasty, all the Wei Dynasty has to do is to repair the library and let these foreigners translate the books.

Wei Chao listened carefully to Zhu Youxiao's words, and although he also figured out some meanings in his heart, it was still much worse after all. But he also knows that if he wants to do the things in front of him well, he will be fine.

Wei Chao bowed down and said respectfully: "Don't worry, the emperor will definitely handle things well!" ”

"Well, I believe in you!" Zhu Youxiao smiled gently and harmlessly, and his words were full of trust.

The news spread quickly.

His Majesty was to build a huge library in the new city to store all kinds of books, as well as some books from foreigners. This is quite surprising.

For a while, there were different opinions, but most of the voices were supportive.

After all, building such a library, or a library pavilion, is a phenomenon that only exists in prosperous times. Everyone is a reader, and there is no reason not to support it.

As for the matter of foreigners, Xu Guangqi probably also knew, and he was relieved in his heart.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the capital became harmonious. Regarding what Zhu Youxiao did in Mongolia, there are not too many people who care.

However, there are still people staring, and the impeachment question book has been sent to the palace.

Zhu Youxiao just didn't come out in the palace.

Those who impeached Zhu Youxiao quietly left the capital. In short, there are all kinds of reasons, some have been transferred, some have been dismissed, and some have even been promoted.

It's just that the places where people who are promoted go are places that ordinary people don't want to go.

As time went on, there were fewer and fewer such books.

At this time, the emperor released the news that a new cabinet scholar would be elected.

Zhu Youxiao's move was to divert attention on the one hand, and to solve the problem on the other.

Things in Mongolia soon subsided.

Zhu Youxiao squatted in the palace for more than two months, and finally recovered and had some energy.

He finally walked out of the palace.
