Section 156 Zhu Zongyuan

At the moment of Zuihou, the government finally sent a servant to stop Sāo's movement. After this destruction, the people in the church were already panicked, and Huang Zhen, Zhang and others also lost their momentum, and the original upright debate turned into a smashing incident, which made them lose a lot of points in public opinion in Hangzhou. In addition, the local government was jealous of the Shili of Sun Yuanhua and other official gentry in the church after all, and it was impossible to make such a thing without an explanation, so Huang Zhen was reprimanded and deported back to Ning Bō.

After this incident, the apostate suffered a lot of damage.

Public opinion has also turned against them: not only have many people have opinions about the impact on the church, but there have also been many anti-interpretation posts on the market, which have made the apostates disgraced. Although Zhang went to the church again to submit the "Three Sayings of Discerning Heaven", which was also the end of the crossbow, the church still did not make any reply to this. A wind bō gradually passed.

Although the wind bō has passed, the lesson plan that broke out in advance in this time and space has brought rich materials and sources of imagination to the local people's literature and art. For a while, all kinds of operas, raps, and even small dramas had all kinds of joke versions, until both sides used their relationships to go to the government to say that Qiantang Ren and the two counties dispatched officials to arrest more than a dozen unlucky artists with the flail of the flail, and the board of the board was suppressed. Although the Church has fallen into the image of "not daring to debate", its internal unity seems to have strengthened; As for the Buddhas, the impact of this blow on them was nothing more than a punch to an elephant, and not even a single hair could be damaged. If the new Taoism wants to benefit from it, it is still far from it. Zhang Yingchen found that if he wanted to preach, he still carried out the work of "curing the sick and saving people" and achieved remarkable results. At least, he has accumulated a lot of fame and connections by practicing medicine in Hangzhou, didn't Zhang Jiao rely on this to start his business back then?

However, Zhao Yinggong became the "backbone" of the church in Hangzhou because of his "firm performance" in this lesson plan. The attitude of the Church towards him has escalated: it was originally only for the sake of the Jesuit introduction letter, but now it is simply "its own". Not only did Guo Jujing entrust Jin Lige to come to Wanbi Bookstore to thank him, but the religious gentry in the Hangzhou church also sent people to pay their respects, send full stickers and give various gifts. Zhao Yingong also returned the salute one by one: his return gift was a standard show of talent and favor: the hardcover editions of "Catechism", "Summary of the Essentials" and "Selected Hymns" printed by Lingao. All the Chinese versions of the Three-Self are selected, with Latin comparisons. The printing is very beautiful.

Under such favorable conditions, Zhao Yinggong took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to set up an organization such as a charity hall in Hangzhou. I hope that the gentlemen in the church will take care of it.

Charity was also one of the social functions undertaken by the local gentry in ancient Chinese society -- the relief of the imperial court was not only slow to come, but also inefficient, and often the affected places were already empty, and the relief money and grain of the imperial court were still on the way to be mobilized. In some cases, the imperial court did not even give relief at all, or only symbolized the allocation of a little money and grain. As a result, most of the local relief was organized by the gentry.

After this incident, the church also had the intention to win favor among the lower classes, so it hit it off with Zhao Yinmu's proposal. The two sides agreed: the gentry in the church came forward to give the name and then help raise some donations, and Zhao Yinggong was responsible for raising donations and handling them specifically to run the "Cihui Hall".

Although it is a normal activity of the local gentry to hold charity, it is very risky for Zhao Yinggong to be a "foreigner" who has been here for less than half a year to engage in this, and now that the local gentry have come forward, it will be much easier for the government to do so.

On this day, Zhao Yinggong was handling affairs in the house, and the layout of the foreign intelligence bureau on the mountains and seas had been put in place, and as the person in charge of the Hangzhou station, he had to do some work to open up the local situation for the "Wanyou" and "Runshitang" who went to Hangzhou, after all, the future work needs the strong support of the mountains and seas in order to operate normally. In particular, pharmacies like Runshitang have to take a lot of effort to gain a foothold in Hangzhou, where the pharmaceutical industry is very competitive, and this support must come from the hands of the gentry, which depends on Zhao Yinggong.

While he was busy, Jiying came to report: There is a Hangzhou church person surnamed Zhu who came to worship.

"Oh?" Zhao Yinggong recently received a lot of people from the church in Hangzhou, and he couldn't think of who it was for a while, but he took the post and saw it before he knew it was Zhu Zongyuan.

"It turned out to be him!" Zhao Yinggong wanted him to visit, but it was expected, and when it came to the Confucian scholar Zhu Zongyuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could be called the most fanatical one of them. He is a native of Yinxian (Ning Bō) in Zhejiang, but often active in Hangzhou. He is also an active member of the church in Hangzhou.

"Invite him to the outer study to serve tea." Zhao Yinggong said, let go of the documents and pen in his hand, stood up and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and Fenghua came over to get him to straighten his clothes.

Although Zhu Zongyuan was very young and had no fame at that time, he was a young believer in religion, over-the-top in his vision, proficient in astronomy, "practicing virtue in practice" and "upright people's hearts", and was a religious fanatic who wanted to be enthusiastic and enthusiastic and theoretical. He is the author of two theological works, "Answering Questions from Guests" and "Brief Explanation of Saving the World", which have an important position in the history of Catholic China.

Such a person, of course, has a strong voice in the church, and is a horn that cannot be slackened for Zhao Yinggong, who is about to borrow from the church.

At first glance, Zhao Yinggong was quite surprised by his youth, it turned out that he was born in 1609, and he was only 23 years old in 1631, that is, the age of the undergraduate graduates of the Old Time and Space University.

After a few polite words between the two sides, Zhu Zongyuan first thanked Zhao Yinggong for his "apologetic actions" in the lesson plan, and then persuaded him to be baptized into the church.

He pulled out a stack of manuscripts from the bookcase he had with him.

"Brother Zhao, please take a look."

Zhao Yingong took the manuscript, read it roughly, and was taken aback: it turned out that this was the famous "Answering Guest Questions" in the history of the church. This book adopts the one-question-and-answer style of "guest questions to Zongyuan" throughout the book, and the ideas are very clear. The book can be divided into about ten parts. In addition to propagating doctrines, he also explained the contradictions between the spread of Catholicism in China and the social, religious, and ideological concepts of the time. Its purpose is to "serve God exclusively" and is a Catholic defense work written to refute Buddhism, rebuke the Tao, break mí, and supplement Confucianism.

Zhao Yinggong only knew that this book was written by Zhu Zongyuan, but he didn't expect this person to write this work at the age of 23, and he was also a strange person.

"Brother Zhu is talented!" Zhao Yinggong exclaimed. He had already guessed that Zhu Delai wanted him to be a sponsor to print and publish this book.

"Don't dare," Zhu Zongyuan was also quite proud of this. His intention was indeed to hope that Wanbi Bookstore would engrave and publish this book, "to correct people's hearts and defend the Holy Religion".

"Well said, well said." Zhao Yinggong only made a decision after a while: help him seal. Even if the bookstore did not print it, other wealthy gentry in the church would sponsor the publication of the book.

The printing industry in this time and space does not have the concept of copyright, and the investment of the party is nothing more than the cost of printing, and there is no need to pay royalties or manuscript fees to Zhu Zongyuan.

The downside is that this book is too niche, and I'm afraid not many people will buy it. However, after this wind, the church in Hangzhou will definitely increase its propaganda efforts, and Zhu Zongyuan's book meets their needs. He could suggest to the church that they should buy it in large quantities and distribute it for free, and that this part of the sales would be too good to run away......

At that moment, Zhao Yinggong promised to sponsor the stereotyped release of this book, and sent away the overjoyed Zhu Zongyuan. He circled around the study and summoned Gu Dengbao, the treasurer of the naturalized people, who was currently taking care of the printing affairs of Bi Bookstore for him. From his name, it is known that it was taken by the patriarch. This person's surname is true, he is also an engraving craftsman, after becoming a naturalized citizen, he has been working in the Lingao Printing Factory, this time Zhou Dongtian was specially sent to Hangzhou to be responsible for managing the printing workshop of Wanbi Bookstore.

"Have you all transcribed and sorted out the three theories of "Defending the Heavens" and "Proving False Theories" that I handed over to you a few days ago?"

"Back to the master, Du Teng is clear, and he is proofreading. In a few days, you will be able to make plates. Gu Dengbao said, "Master, do you still use a slate this time?" ”

"Yes, slate." Zhao Yinggong nodded and handed Zhu Zongyuan's manuscript to him.

"You can transcribe this book as soon as possible, and prepare it for printing." Zhao Yingong said, "There is also the "Identification of Learning Relics" I handed over to you, and it must also be proofread and completed as soon as possible." ”

The "Discernment of Learning" is a missionary document published by the Church, and Zhang's "Evidence of Falsehood" is aimed at this book. Zhao Yinggong actually prepared a "publication topic" and prepared to engage in a "book series".

Specifically, it is to compile and organize the various works involved in the Hangzhou lesson plan into a series of books for publication. He estimated that after this great wind, Hangzhou, and even the entire Jiangnan Shilin, would be very interested in this incident. There will be a market for this set of books as soon as it is published. Of course, there is also a need for proper marketing. Zhao Yinggong suddenly thought that although all the works involving the lesson plan were included in the publication jihua, there was no booklet that comprehensively introduced the whole process of the lesson plan, which inevitably made people confused about the ins and outs of the lesson plan.

"You should hire a few unprincipled local pens to do this kind of custom work." Zhao Yinggong said secretly.
