"Hello Mr. Bourne!" The John priest smiled and greeted Bourne: "It is a blessing for us people to be able to bask in the glory of the Lord together!" ”

After saying hello, the two priests and Bourne nodded goodbye, and Bourne also smiled and looked at the two of them, saying that it was strange, just to say a few words to these two priests, and sitting here for a while, he felt that his mind was much clearer, and people were not so irritable.

Father Adam John! He shook his head slightly, it seems that this is the new priest in this church!

Wait, how this name seems like I've heard it before!!

His mind was very clear now, and once he realized that he might have heard of the name, it barely took much effort to remember the origin of the name, and then, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

"Father John, please stay!" He shouted at the two backs in front of him.

The two turned their heads and looked at him kindly, he mustered up his courage, looked at Father John who looked at him gently, and asked with some trepidation: "Father John, may I ask, do you still have a name of Daming, called John Tang!" ”

"I didn't expect you to know my name!" Father John smiled and replied, "It's just a name for me to preach, and you can call me that if you wish!! ”

"No, I wanted to ask!!" Bourne's tone became excited: "You once apprenticed in the Imperial Foundry, and then came to the Ming Empire, have you served as a firearms military adviser in both the Kingdom and the Ming Empire?" ”

"That's right, but that's all in the past, and my main task now is to spread the glory of the Lord!" Tang Ruowang looked at each other with a smile.

"Father, I need your help now!" Byrne took a deep breath: "If your help is effective, it will be easier for you to gain the trust of the Ming Empire, and it will also have a huge effect on you spreading the glory of the Lord!" ”

Tang Ruowang looked at the Mr. Bourne in front of him with a smile, no one knew that his heart was already full of tears at the moment, if there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to shout loudly: Nima, you finally recognize me.

That's right, John Tang feels that no one may know him in other places, but in Haojing O, no one knows him, which is simply too shameless.

He only left Haojingao the year before last and went to Beijing, but before that, he had been in Haojingao for four years, and for four years, the heads and brains of the Victor Chamber of Commerce knew him, four years, enough for the Ming people who had a little status here, but this original craftsman of the firearms factory, and now the chief foundry of bullshit, actually waited until he turned around and walked a few steps before recognizing him.

However, it's a good thing that I finally recognized him!

Bourne stammered and bewitched him, hoping that he would use his knowledge to give him some advice on the cannon casting, and even some things he didn't understand, hoping to get his guidance.

John Tang smiled and listened, for him, Bourne's troubles were not enough to be troubles, as a person who had enough experience both theoretically and practically, he was very sure that even if he couldn't make the original Xiyi cannons, it was still possible to imitate some similar cannons - as long as there were enough assistants and resources.

However, this is not his purpose, how to expand his influence among the Ming magnates, how to get more people to share the same faith as him, this is his lifelong pursuit, all the knowledge and skills he has learned, are in the service of this purpose, although, unconsciously, he has achieved enough in calendar, mathematics, optics, and even firearms making.

This time, he returned to Ho Jing Ao, and he had his own mission. It's just that this task, when he doesn't have enough influence, he won't open his mouth.

Coincidentally, his friend in Daming, Sun Yuanhua, who is now the governor of Denglai, Shandong, also made a request to invite him to come to Haojingao, for his friend, what he cares about, he knows very well, and this friend has repeatedly invited him to Shandong as a guest, but unfortunately, he does not think that in that place in Shandong, it will be better than Beijing, to develop the congregation.

Especially in the past few years in the Ming Dynasty, he has been deeply aware that sometimes, the development of a high-ranking and powerful sect member is far more important than the development of a thousand ordinary sect members under the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

In Beijing, his missionary business was very difficult, and he was able to enter the eyes of those dignitaries and nobles only because he did not think that his knowledge of the calendar was his advantage at all, and even he felt that even in the field of firearms making, with his ability, he should also gain the attention of the powerful people who were interested in this field.

It's a pity that the magnates disappointed him, in Beijing, he had the honor to enter the Ming Empire's firearms troops, visited their drills, I have to say, even if he is full of admiration for the Ming Empire, a great empire with a long history, but, their firearms troops, he is really difficult to say a word of praise.

It doesn't matter, though, no one cares how he feels.

However, a general of the emperor's guards suddenly became very interested in Western firearms, and it may even affect the process of the weapons industry of the Ming Empire. He believed that with his views on Western firearms, the general would inevitably take himself seriously, and at that time, with this general as the breakthrough point and relying on the power of the other party, his missionary career would certainly be a new situation.

When he came to Haojing Ao, he didn't go directly to the General Gao, and he didn't even take out Sun Yuanhua's handwritten letter.

For the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, in the past few years, he has a deep understanding, if they think you are a talent, they come to the door, then, as long as you show your ability a little, they will feel that they have a good vision, will be more important to this talent.

However, if you take the initiative to come to the door, I am afraid that you will not get such treatment, and people often do not pay much attention to things that can be easily obtained.

It's like Byrne in front of him, even if he wants to drag him to the humble firearms factory at once, let himself take a look, and then tell him what the problem is, and if possible, it would be better to show him how to forge these cannons from beginning to end.

However, John Tang would never agree to him.
