"Mr. Leigh"

After some greetings, Xie Wenle couldn't wait to ask.

"Brother Xi Ming has told us many times about the overseas world, and said that the place where we are located is a circle, although he has corroborated it many times, but please forgive me for being stupid and not experiencing it lightly, it is really a little unbelievable."

"I heard that Mr. Li is from a foreign country tens of thousands of miles away from overseas, and I want to ask you for a confirmation or two."

Li Sisi showed an appreciative look on his face, he touched his beard and said: "If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you don't learn, you will die, Xie Gongzi claims to be stupid, but this heart of verification is indeed something that ordinary people don't have." ”

"Said, take out the globe we brought."

Said hurriedly got up and rummaged in the next room, and after a while, he came out with a black wooden shelf and a yellow ball.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Ricles explained, pointing to the globe on the table, "what you see now is the globe that we have made in the Society of Jesus, and as you can see, it is a circular ......."

Lysis carefully explained the current European perception of the world against the globe, and the mouths of Xie Wenle, Zhao Xiangyang and others who were watching were also opening wider and wider.

There are some things that are difficult to describe in words alone, and when the globe is placed in front of a scholar, the impact on one's own worldview cannot be experienced today.

It's as if humans thought they were the masters of the universe, but one day they were told that you were just pets of the gods.

"This is my hometown", Lyric explained for a long time, from Da Meng to Europe, and finally pointed to Sicily in Italy, "If you translate it according to your words, it can be called Sicily, which is now under the rule of King Francis." ”

"Only that big?" , Chen Yiding's face was a little puzzled, as if he wondered how the people of such a small land had the ability to pass through tens of thousands of miles of waves to Dameng.

Liu Ximing had already seen the whole picture of the globe just now, and it turned out that the white people's understanding of the world at this time was still only between Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

Hearing Chen Yiding's words, he smiled and continued: "Not only is Mr. Li's hometown Sicily not big, but the continent that Westerners call Europa is not too big. ”

"But", Liu Ximing was originally to stimulate these people, and said unceremoniously at this time: "Although the country is small, its people work hard to be strong, and the country will be strong." Although a country is large, its people are complacent, and the country will be weak. ”

"The Westerners, with their manpower and material resources far inferior to China, opened up a vast territory far beyond the Mengyuan Dynasty, because of the hustle and bustle of the people, and they often wake up and encourage themselves. Although China is big, from the scholars to the common people, they are all arrogant and arrogant, and they are at the bottom of the well. ”

Because of the presence of white people such as Li Yisi, Liu Ximing did not bring the topic to the human race, and if Chen Yiding and others knew that someone in the white skin had begun to divide the Chinese into their 369 and other systems, I don't know how they would feel.

Li Zhisi watched Liu Ximing train the old and young people in the house to be like turtle sons, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

However, he soon suppressed this idea, and according to the experience of the Jesuits in Jiangxi, Fujian, and other places, in order to obtain the right to preach, it was necessary to open the door in the circle of scholars, and only with their eyes could local officials agree to build churches and missions.

"All this is the glory of God, what Liu Gongzi said is not unreasonable, but the reason why we and other Taixi people have the ambition to plan thousands of miles is because we were called by the Lord, and it is precisely to spread the gospel of God to the world......

Lyric changed his tone and brought the topic to Liu Ximing's missionary aspect, which was extremely troublesome, but before he could find another topic to interrupt, a few curious babies were actually quite interested in Jesuits.

Du Liangji and Zhao Xiangyang and others are not like Chen Yiding, who has not been able to pass the examination for many years, and they have a deeper understanding of Confucian classics.

At this moment, they became interested, and several people actually began to discuss Confucian principles, qi, Taoism and other issues.

It was only at this time that Liu Ximing discovered that the Jesuits at this time had been so deeply integrated with China, and that the study of Confucianism by these missionaries was no less than that of the profound Confucianism.

Of course, their ultimate goal was to use Confucianism to shape the Catholic position in China, so whenever they had the opportunity, they would combine Confucian ideas with their own set of things about God's love for the world.

Liu Ximing had to sigh, who said that foreigners are simple and easy to fool, and they are also bricks when they deceive people.

To say that the people who were most affected by the whole night of conversation were Du Liangji and Zhao Xiangyang, who were the most convinced of Confucianism.

After all, in the eyes of people who do not have a complete view of the universe and scientific cognition, the strange theories of the Jesuits, combined with their relatively crude scientific discoveries at this time, are indeed very capable of fooling some people.

Seeing that several people were showing signs of turning their horns, Liu Ximing could only interrupt, "Mr. Li, it's not too early, I don't know if Mr. Ai can let me see what you asked you to bring for me, I'm a little itchy and unbearable." ”

"Hahaha", Lyric may have lost his temper by those lambs abandoned by Jehovah, and he was not angry when he was interrupted by Liu Ximing at this time, but just smiled: "Of course you can, anyway, I want to give it to you." ”

When he saw the peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other things that Lyric brought over, Liu Ximing could not hide his ecstasy.

These are the most precious materials of this era, Liu Ximing has not forgotten the curse of the Xiaoice River period, just looking at the farmers who fled from Shunqing Mansion in the past year, you can know that the hard days are still to come.

"Mr. Li, on behalf of the Chinese people, bah, I won't say much about thanks, if there is anything difficult in the future, as long as I can help."

"By the way, I don't know how much these things are worth, so I can't let you spend money and effort to transport them to Sichuan."

Liu Ximing said this sincerely, although he could also ask Tang Xiuyuan to help him collect these materials.

However, the sphere of influence of Changheng Firm is only limited to Huguang, Sichuan and other places, not to mention the question of time, the key is that there are some things that you can't find if you want to.

Lysus smiled when he heard this, "Last time you did Father Julius a great favor in Chongqing, this little thing is not enough to worry about, so let's take it as a gift between our friends." ”

Where Liu Ximing is willing to do it, it is best to force Li Biao to stuff a silver ticket of 3,000 taels to Said.

This silver ticket was exchanged in advance by a money bank that had branches in Shunqing and Chengdu, and they could use it with it.

Walking out of the room of Li Zhisi, Zhao Xiangyang asked a little strangely: "Among the things that Mr. Li brought, it should be books, utensils and the like, but Brother Ximing takes pleasure in these vines, vines, melons and melons. ”

Liu Ximing arched his hand towards Zhao Xiangyang and smiled: "The little brother has been taught, but these things are not ordinary things, if they are used well, they can even accumulate merit for the tenth generation, Brother Xiangyang, can I not be happy when you say such a treasure." ”

"Hiss"

A group of people are all smacking, especially Chen Yiding and Xu Wei and others are most familiar with Liu Ximing, and they know that he usually doesn't joke about these.

However, no matter how many people asked, Liu Ximing kept silent.

"It's better to hear than to see", Liu Ximing sighed in his heart when he thought of Xie Wenle's question.

Back in the room, Liu Ximing couldn't wait to send the others away.

With these crops and a thought, he entered the jade pendant space.

Although the area of the space has not been expanded for a long time, because all the crops are planted, there is a lot of vitality in it.

Liu Ximing's mind moved slightly, and he leveled five acres of land that was originally planted with preferred rice.

Immediately after that, he controlled the spatial aura and cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought in into small pieces.

Although he had never planted crops himself, Liu Ximing vaguely remembered that such tubers could be grown in this way.

Isn't Watney in The Martian the potatoes he planted with this trick, albeit self-sufficient with his own poop.

Besides, I still have the help of space spiritual water, so I guess these things should not be a problem to survive.
