"Ma Ma, I want to fat my family."

Liu Ximing couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he especially escaped the bombing and preaching of modern aunts, but he didn't hide from the bad old men of ancient times, what a sin.

"Ahem, Mr. Ai, let's not talk about doctrine for a moment, I heard that the Jesuits are now only preaching on the southeast coast, but I didn't expect you to go deep into the hinterland of China."

Julio is very patient, he has been here for so long, he knows that these concepts of the Meng Dynasty scholars are deep-rooted, and he can only rely on God's mercy to slowly change, and when he saw Liu Ximing change the topic, he also explained.

"Indeed, as you said, I and other pastors have been preaching in the South-East for the past few years, and although there have been occasional disputes, they have been generally good. Seeing this, the General Association of Macau intends to expand its missionary activities to the mainland of your country in order to further promote the cause of God, and this time I have come to explore the way, and more people will come to Sichuan in the future to spread the glory of the Lord. ”

As it turned out, Liu Ximing thought that the missionaries had already gone deep into Sichuan and other places, but when he heard Julius say this, he realized that they were just preparing to open up the interior.

However, he didn't really care how far these missionaries had run, he was still a fart at the moment, so why bother eating radishes salty and bothering, his main purpose was to get close, and with such a good start, Julius slowly introduced the situation of the Jesuits in China.

Liu Ximing saw that the time was almost up, and pretended to ask casually: "I heard that Xu Guangqi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, and Xu Ge have co-translated books such as "Geometric Original" and "Agricultural Administration" with Taixi people, I don't know if this is indeed the case?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Xuanhu is a faithful believer of my lord, and he also has high attainments in arithmetic and other fields."

"Then I wonder if Mr. Ai has ever collected these books? Liu has been fond of these miscellaneous studies since he was a child, and if Mr. Ai is willing to cut his love, Liu can pay a lot of money to buy it. ”

Ai Ruluo shook his head helplessly: "This time is mainly for the exploration of the road, it is inconvenient to bring too many salutes, Liu Gongzi has a great favor to us, after I go back, find someone to bring it over, as for money and other things, we and other missionaries, just to spread the glory of my lord, money is not half beneficial to us." ”

Hehe, it's done, Liu Ximing is determined in his heart, with Julius's promise, he will have a way to understand the outside world.

At present, the missionaries can help him mainly by providing mathematics books and overseas crops such as peppers and potatoes, and as for other aspects, to be honest, Liu Ximing still looks down on them.

You must know that Europe has only come out of the shadow of the Middle Ages for a long time, the overall world view is still stuck in the concept of religion as the core in the Middle Ages, and natural science has just entered the embryonic stage, which is not much better than China's current situation.

And the interesting thing is that now the East and the West are in the stage of commercial blowing each other, and both feel that their systems have big problems, and the other world's world is the most perfect.

Therefore, Xu Guangqi and a group of scholars converted to Catholicism, pursuing what God loves the world and wants to reform China's thinking.

In Europe during this period, China was a paradise on earth in the mouth of white-skinned people, Confucianism was simply the light of mankind, and Voltaire, the founder of the European Enlightenment, a few decades later, still set up a portrait of Confucius at home and worshipped day and night. Of course, it is difficult to say how much Confucianism had to do with the European Enlightenment.

The big thing has been decided, Liu Ximing patiently listened to Julius boast about the salvation of Jesus several times, and finally I couldn't stand it, especially you can still nag than a retired aunt, he can only find an excuse to say that there is something to do tonight and prepare early, so he sent Julius and the five people out of the barracks.

However, he still asked the inn where Julius and the others stayed, and made an appointment to visit them later.

"Come on, come on, Brother Liu, do this bowl again."

"Hahaha, you can't drink it anyway, let this Hong Erzhu fight with you."

As soon as it was dark, Liu Ximing's tent sounded the sound of boiling fists and persuasion, and seven or eight middle-level officers such as He Duan were poured by Liu Ximing, so he simply let Hong Erzhu also play with these people.

Glancing at Hong Erzhu's grateful eyes, Liu Ximing nodded at him, and sat down beside He Duan with a wine jug in his hand.

Seeing that He Duan was already red-faced, Liu Ximing laughed and said: "Brother He, it's not going to work so soon, who said that you would overturn me tonight." ”

"You, don't be complacent, let's go back to Shunqing and drink again."

Liu Ximing smiled proudly, you can't drink anywhere, seeing He Duan's dizzy appearance, he said directly: "These days are really eye-opening, I see that the Governor here is strong and strong, and the armament is also sufficient." ”

He Duan grabbed a piece of mutton and chewed it in a big bite, and chatted vaguely: "That's natural, right now the whole Sichuan is counting on us to keep the thieves out of Sichuan, who dares to fool things, now it's what you want, it's really fucking enjoyable." To tell you the truth to my brother, that is, there is a war now, and it depends on us Qiu Ba to be in front, so these bullshit civil officials dare not take it and join his mother's dogs. ”

Liu Ximing was relieved, and he also complained with an indignant look: "The world is in such a mess, it's not all because of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials who loot the place, but now they want a good man like everyone here to wipe their butts for them, it's really angry to think about it." ”

"Isn't it......"

The wine table suddenly became the same enemy, pointing to a group of civil officials and scolding.

Liu Ximing saw that the foreshadowing was almost over, and sighed and said: "It's really hard time now, and now our Shunqing Mansion is also full of military disasters, there have been several batches of thieves crossing the border this year, and there is no garrison in the house, and the lord of the mansion and the lord of the county are almost white-headed." Before leaving, Zhang Fuzun found me, saying that the government wanted to form some regiments, and wanted me to help see where to get the ordnance. ”

"You kid, what about me", He Duan slapped the table and glared angrily at Liu Ximing as if he was sober.

However, before Liu Ximing could think of a rhetoric, he turned his anger into laughter again, hugged Liu Ximing's shoulder and slapped him continuously: "Hahaha, brother, don't be surprised, brother, I'm bluffing you, isn't it just ordnance, brother, I'll do it for you, brother." ”

Liu Ximing showed surprise on his face, this fellow was too powerful, he hurriedly raised three fingers and made a gesture of rubbing money, and promised in a low voice: "Brother is righteous, brother can't help but go on the road, don't worry, the benefits of brother will be indispensable when the time comes." ”

He Duan smiled knowingly, and pulled Liu Ximing to continue to join the battle at the wine table, and everyone in the room had an expression that I hadn't heard anything.

It is estimated that Liu Ximing's last words worked, and He Duan sent his own soldiers to take him to the baggage camp at the back of the camp the next day.

Liu Ximing saw that He Duan was waiting there early, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Brother He has been waiting for a long time, and it is rude." ”

He Duan waved his arm casually, and pointed to a round-faced general next to him who was wearing a half-length waist-length armor, an iron winged hood, and a narrow sleeve sticker and introduced to Liu Ximing: "This is Peng Yi, the garrison of the baggage camp, and if the elder brother needs anything, tell him directly." ”

"Peng Shoubei, look up for a long time, please take care of me in the future." Liu Ximing first bowed, and finally grabbed Peng Yi's left hand with his right hand and quietly stuffed an azure gem.

Peng Yi was caught off guard by Liu Ximing's play, but when he touched the gem in his palm, he immediately smiled, hugged Liu Ximing's shoulders and walked into the camp: "Since it is He Guerrilla's brother, it is naturally my Peng's brother, my brother is here, and I will tell my brother what you like." ”

Liu Ximing was also not polite, while checking everywhere what Meng Jun had to do, he chatted with He Duan and Peng Yi for a few words.

Last time, according to the imperial history Liu Jianhou, he promised Liu Ximing that he would report to Yu Yongkai for a patrol position, and in the future, the Longxiang regiment would be able to carry out activities under the official banner, so he specifically asked He Duan for help, mainly to get some armor equipment.

The blacksmith workshop in Liujiacun can barely make these things by itself, but after all, they are not professional craftsmen, and it is too time-consuming to build, so it is better to use them from the military camp first. Lao Liu is also wealthy now, and what can be solved with money is not a problem.

In addition, after several major battles, the Long Xiang Regiment almost used up the gunpowder stockpile, and Liu Ximing also planned to buy some spare here.

Probably because of the temporary stationing, tents were also used in the baggage camp to hold supplies, and a large area was densely occupied.

Liu Ximing specially picked out the armor, waist knife and other things he wanted to check, but found that it was really difficult to choose, there were more than a dozen kinds of armor alone, including the half-body waist armor worn by Peng Yi, as well as iron crotch armor, long-body fish scale armor, red long-body cloth armor and other styles, which made Liu Ximing have to make it difficult to choose.
