Chapter 139: The Chonchona Tree (Fifth Update!!) )

"Father George, of course I will not compare you to those villains, and I am very grateful for your medicine and for your help."

Although at present and even in another hundred years, the level of Western medical skills is no different from that of the Middle Ages, but anatomy has been in its infancy for more than a hundred years.

Li Jing came over at this time and whispered to Jia Qiang: "The imperial doctor and the senior monks of Tianning Temple all said that most of the fathers who survived the past three days would be fine, and now they have done everything they can, and they also said that now there are old ginseng hanging, and most of them are worry-free." ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It's okay, you go and rest with Vivien, I still have something to talk about with Father George." ”

Li Jing shook her head and said, "I want to guard my father." ”

Originally, she only had the hope of being able to save Li Fu, and she didn't even have one percent.

But he didn't expect that there was such a great creation that could allow the imperial doctor and the Western monk to treat his father.

As long as Li Fu can get better, then the pressure on her body can be reduced by half, and this is her closest relative in the world, lost and regained, where can she relax and sleep these days......

Vivian was also dissatisfied: "Jia, you can't cross the river, so you will tear down my bridge." I'm going to hear you talk to Uncle George! ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "As long as you're not boring." ”

Vivien said proudly, "Of course not! You're so charming......"

“……”

Li Jing was already speechless with this shameless foreign woman.

George laughed and said, "Vivian is right, Jia Gongzi is the most handsome and good-looking man I have seen in Dayan for so many years." ”

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this...... I would like to ask if there is anything I can do to help the priest. Whether it's money or anything else, as long as you open your mouth, I will do my best. I am very grateful to Father George for saving his life and am willing to give enough sincerity to reciprocate. ”

George was puzzled and said, "Young Master Jia, you have already helped me rescue Vivian back to me, this is the most precious thing to me. And all I have done is a small help. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Father George, to you, Vivien is the most precious. But for me, the two elders are equally important. Even if in Yan Guo's words, one life is worth one life, I still owe you one time. I'm a man who easily doesn't want to owe favors to others. ”

Hearing this, George shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "In addition to integrity, it is also a beautiful character. But Jia Gongzi, I can't think of anything I need help with now......"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "You'll have it soon." ”

George didn't understand, and Jia Qiang didn't go around the corner, and said, "The deeds of the Western missionary's Mercy Hall in Jinmen will definitely anger the imperial court. Dayan is not a weak and incompetent country. I believe that it will not be long before the imperial court will pass down a decree to thoroughly investigate the foreign churches within the borders. There is a great possibility that you will all be expelled from Dayan. ”

As a China expert, George's previous words were half cover-up, because he knew that Jia Qiang would definitely repay him, and there was also a place for Jia Qiang to be used.

However, he intends to save this important favor for the time when he needs it urgently in the future.

Having spent nearly two decades in China, George has long understood the means of retreating.

I understand that human affection is far more valuable than gold and silver, especially the human affection of noble people.

It's just that he never expected that Jia Qiang would hit him by seven inches as soon as he opened his mouth......

Hearing this, George was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Oh no, those hateful villains of the Hall of Mercy, they are all torn to pieces, they deserve it. But there are good people like Andrew and me, if they are all driven out, then they will be wronged by the good people! ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I don't know if others will be driven out of the country." But I know that you, Father George, and Miss Vivien will probably be fine. ”

George hurriedly said, "But I still have the monks in the church, they ......"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "Father George, if you can guarantee that none of your people are as evil as Father Andrew's, I can consider helping you." ”

Hearing this, George froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master Jia, I can't deceive you, and I can't deceive you." However, I can guarantee at least four people, absolutely kind. ”

Jia Qiang was curious: "How many people are there under your command?" ”

George's face was faintly unnatural, and he said, "Twenty-eight in total." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Jia Qiang's silence, Li Jing and Vivian both looked strange.

George sighed and said, "Well, it seems that I also made the same mistake as Andrew, they can be deported, it's just ...... What should I do in the future? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I would venture to ask, did Father George really come to my Dayan just to spread the gospel of your God?" I hope to receive a sincere answer. ”

George nodded and said, "Of course, I am the most devout believer in God the Father. It is the greatest honor and duty of His servants to spread the brightness of the Lord throughout the world. ”

However, seeing that Jia Qiang had been quietly watching him, George added a little chapped mouth, and in the face of this strange Dayan man who knew something about the West, he always felt a little weak in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Of course, even the servants of the Lord need some gold coins to survive, build churches to spread the gospel of the Lord, and give alms to the poor." So, we also run some small businesses. ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, her smile became much more sincere, and she said, "If Father George can trust my sincerity, we can cooperate." I have in my hands the brightest silk and cloth, and I will have porcelain that is even more beautiful than the porcelain on the market in Dayan today, and if we cooperate, you will no longer have to worry about the lack of gold and silver. ”

George is not a three-year-old child, he has been in Dayan for more than 20 years, and he is used to seeing the shrewdness and insidiousness of the Han people, how can he easily trust others, he snorted and said with a smile: "If Jia Gongzi really has such exquisite goods, of course I will not refuse to cooperate with you." ”

Jia Qiang naturally didn't expect to be able to negotiate such a cooperation at one time, and he really didn't have anything at the moment, but as long as he had this intention, everything was easy to say.

He made up his mind to be a predator hidden under the water in the future, and in this case, he couldn't leave the image of making a lot of money in the big Yan country.

However, just because you can't fish at home doesn't mean you can't fish abroad.

In addition, Dayan was originally different from my Daqing known in his previous life, and he did not stupidly retreat and keep himself, although the entry and exit conditions of overseas merchant ships were strict, but they could always enter and exit.

It's just that it's not easy for the people of Dayan to go out, and of course, few are willing to go out.

In any case, as long as there is no seclusion and isolation, there is a lot of room for manoeuvre.

You know, why did the group of white animals in Britain start the tooth war?

Isn't it because of the huge trade deficit that they are helpless?

It can be seen that it is true that Chinese goods sell well overseas.

It's just that the difficulty of the problem is not whether it can be sold, but the difficulty of the sea route.

In Dayan, there are almost no talents in this area.

Therefore, Jia Qiang had to cooperate with Westerners to cultivate a group of maritime personnel.

Even if you know that it may be a tiger skin, it is not yet known who the real tiger is.

"Father George, you need not worry about deportation. First, it hasn't happened yet, and second, even if it does, I'll figure it out. However, it would have been much easier if Father George had provided more of the Indians made of cinchona bark. ”

Jia Qiang's words really surprised Father George, and said loudly: "Jia, you actually know the Indians? Do you still know cinchona trees? Oh, God! ”
