Chapter 366: A Wise Man's Conversation
Zhao Zhen looked at the rabbi and bowed gracefully and nodded slightly: "Flatten, I think your etiquette is much more standardized than that of the courtiers." ”
The rabbi straightened up and said, "The Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and we and other aliens naturally have to abide by the rules. ”
Zhao Zhen got up and walked up to the rabbi and stared straight at him, until he stared at him before he spoke: "Very good, as long as you follow the rules, there will be room for survival, this is what you have summed up in the upheaval of the people!" ”
Before the rabbi could answer, he was interrupted by Zhao Zhen again: "Oh, it's me who is confused, to be precise, you should be called Hebrews!" Your ancestors were a wrestler named Jacob who won glory and gave the name of Israel by the angels, and then established the kingdom of Israel in the holy city of Jerusalem, only to be destroyed by the Assyrians and the Babylonians. ”
This is an ancient memory that happened more than 1,500 years ago, and even the rabbis are not very clear in the distance, and can only get a few words from the records of the sages of the past dynasties, but the young Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in front of him actually knows so clearly, and even knows many details very well, which is too weird.
The rabbi looked at Zhao Zhen in horror, and his body trembled slightly: "Your Majesty's knowledge is as vast as the sea, and the old man admires me so thoroughly about the history of the Hebrews. ”
After the praise, he became more and more respectful, and in the rabbi's heart, Zhao Zhen had become an omniscient god.
Before coming to the Great Song Dynasty, the rabbi knew almost nothing about the history of the Great Song Dynasty, only that there was a powerful country called the Tang Dynasty in this land, and all kinds of the Silk Road, and his father once told him about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the Silk Road.
It's a pity that the later Silk Road was blocked, but it was still possible to reach the Tang Dynasty by sea, but the Tang Dynasty was long gone, but was replaced by the current Great Song Dynasty.
Even such a change of dynasty did not affect the inheritance of the Han people, and compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty had more relaxed restrictions on the business of foreign people, who obtained the right to do business in the Great Song Dynasty, and even their descendants were able to participate in the imperial examinations.
These were things that the Jews would have been almost impossible to achieve in other dynasties.
Now facing the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the rabbi saw the knowledge of the emperor, and was able to understand the history of the Hebrews across time and space, which was what shocked him the most, even the wisest sage he had ever seen could not know what happened thousands of miles away.
And the emperor's narration in front of him was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and even the specific details were clear.
The most important thing in the negotiation is the aura, Zhao Zhen undoubtedly shocked the rabbi, and Zhao Zhen, who had already taken the initiative, said with a smile: "Cai Boyu has already looked for you, right?" The general content is actually the same as what I am going to say now.
You want to live in the Great Song Dynasty can only be divided by the Great Song Dynasty, this is for the sake of your integrity, but it will not restrict your freedom and intermarriage and other matters, you also need to work for the royal ticket number of the Great Song Dynasty for five years, during these five years to cultivate qualified ticket number talents for the Great Song Dynasty, this is an equivalent exchange, a Leye people enjoy all the rights of the Song people, including the imperial examination, religious beliefs, business, etc., this is the terms of my requirements, you have no doubts, right? ”
The rabbi bowed and said, "There is no doubt, I will give the people of pleasure to obey the will of the officials." ”
The rabbi in the palace was already meat on the chopping board, and he could hardly object to Zhao Zhen's demands, not to mention that these demands did not cause any loss to the people of Yici Leye.
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "Very good, the three talents passed the decree: a gift to the people of Joy to cross the ocean to my Great Song Dynasty, return to my Zhongxia, abide by the ancestral style, leave Bianliang, the officials shall not make difficulties, the people shall not discriminate, and the Hu and Han families shall be harmonious and friendly!" ”
Sancai used yellow paper to write down the words on the small table on the side, put them in a special small box, and then got up and walked quickly towards the academy.
This can be regarded as a gift to the people of the Great Song Dynasty to obtain legal status and rights, with the emperor's endorsement more than anything else, the big stone in the rabbi's heart finally let go.
The reason why Zhao Zhen did not prohibit their religious freedom was mainly because the Yici Leye people never preached to outsiders, and the objects of their conversion were generally the Yici Leye people who had changed their faith.
Such a conservative religion had little impact on the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that belief was sometimes useless, and sometimes it contained infinite power.
Almost all of them were qualified businessmen, and their influence on the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was almost immeasurable, and Zhao Zhen hoped that they could become a good catalyst for the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty.
It only takes a little time for them to integrate into the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen believes that the enthusiasm and tolerance of the Han people should be able to quickly dissolve the barrier of self-protection of the people of Yizhileye, in the metropolis of Tokyo, no one can leave the help of the neighborhood, Zhao Zhen decided to assign some good Song people to the place of residence of the people of Yici Leye.
Assimilation in the melting pot of time is a matter of time, Zhao Zhen is a Kaifeng Jew who has seen later generations, they are almost no different from the Han people in terms of appearance and habits, but there are slight differences in beliefs.
It is to finish talking about the family routine, this is what the emperor must do, out of concern for the old man, Zhao Zhen gave the rabbi a seat: "What is your real name?" Rabbi is supposed to be the Hebrew word for teacher, right? ”
The rabbi nodded and said, "Guanjia Shengming, my name is Absai, and the word rabbi is a symbol of a teacher and a wise man, and my wisdom is not enough compared to Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You have learned to compliment people in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, I have a question here, if you can answer it, how about I let you serve as the lecturer of the country?" ”
This is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky good thing, a Ci Le Ye people have never given up the right to participate in the imperial examination, but their knowledge and ideas are too different from the Confucianism of the Han people, no one in the clan can be promoted and get an official position, and now the official position is in front of him, how can Absai miss it.
"Please ask the official to come up with the question!"
Zhao Zhen had a hundred chicken questions: "There is a chicken Weng one today, which is worth money; The hen is one, and it is worth three; Three chicks are worth one. Where you buy 100 chickens for 100 dollars, ask the chickens, mothers, and chicks? ”
This is the famous 100 chickens problem in Chinese history, and it is also the world's earliest ternary indefinite equation system, this problem has three answers, and only when all of them are solved can it be considered successful.
Absai couldn't think of an answer in a short period of time, Zhao Zhen saw it and said: "If you don't understand, think slowly, this topic is a little difficult, but I will give you time." ”
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he ignored Absai and began to concentrate on flipping through the "Geometric Original" in front of him.
The time to think always flies, and when Zhao Zhen felt hungry after drinking three cups of tea, Absai got up and said: "Qi Guan Jia, answer: Ji Weng four, worth twenty; Eighteen hens, worth fifty-four; Seventy-eight chicks are worth twenty-six. He replied: Eight chickens, worth forty; Hen Eleven ......"
Zhao Zhen looked at Absai in surprise, he didn't expect that the intelligence of the Jews was really not to talk about, he actually solved such a difficult problem in only half an afternoon, and even Ding Wei took a whole day.
Not to mention Wang Yuyan's three daughters, it took them a whole week to finally coerce Cai Boyan to get the answer.
"There is still a shortage of a mathematics lecturer in my country, and here are Euclid's "Geometry Primitives" and "Mathematics Compilation", plus my Great Song Dynasty's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Five Classics of Arithmetic" and other books should be able to teach you!
I hope that you will become an educator rather than a businessman in the Great Song Dynasty, and I am indeed gifted in business, but he is also outstanding in research and learning. Although the reputation of merchants in the Great Song Dynasty has improved, but you have also met the merchants and still do not receive much respect, if you want to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to gain respect for you who are only engaged in the way of businessmen......"
Absai immediately understood what Zhao Zhen meant, and then nodded and said, "Your Majesty's suggestion, I will think about it carefully, and I will definitely give Your Majesty an explanation." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "Very good, I won't leave you to eat." His purpose was very simple, to turn these people who were proficient in business into a group of old scholars who studied all day long, and only by holding official positions could they be better controlled by themselves......
