Chapter 281: 7,000 Books (Subscriptions, Recommendations, Collections)
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but doubt his ears.
Thousands of books!
It's not a few or dozens of books.
Thousands of books, just the volume of the book itself, I am afraid that it will take up a large area.
On a sea ship where every inch of land is valuable, the freight is probably indispensable, right?
This Mr. Kinnige has really invested a lot of money in order to preach!
Thousands of books are probably enough to cover all kinds of European knowledge at this time, right?
Even if it is not very detailed, it should be enough to open the eyes of the Ming literati and inform the direction of the Ming Dynasty's Western technology.
Zhu Youzhen can imagine that with these books, as long as Daming is given enough time to digest, Daming will burst out with brilliant brilliance.
It's just that why didn't he have the slightest memory in his previous life, it didn't happen, and he was still lost in the war?
Could it be because his little butterfly fan is so powerful that history has begun to change on a large scale?
Faced with the temptation of thousands of European books, even Zhu Youzhen could hardly calm down.
After settling down, Zhu Youzhen looked eagerly at Jinni Pavilion and asked earnestly: "I don't know, Mr. Jin wants to store this batch of books in the city of Daming?"
Well, no matter which city in Daming, as long as you choose it well, Mr. Jin, then the rest will be left to Lonely.
Lone will definitely find the best place to store Mr. Kim's books. ”
Seeing that King Xin suddenly became extremely eager, Xu Guangqi shook his head helplessly slightly.
He was a little embarrassed.
Our Highness the King of Faith is also a little too practical.
Seeing the sudden eagerness of King Shin, Jinnige was not only not disgusted, but even more pleased.
In Jinnige's view, this performance of King Shin just shows that King Shin has incomparable respect for knowledge and an incomparable desire for new knowledge.
Only with this attitude is the best book recipient recognized by Kinnige.
Kinikaku noticed that the focus of Shinoh's words was always books. But he didn't show much welcome to him at all.
In this regard, Jinnige was not disappointed.
Jinnige is different from the young and vigorous Tang Ruowang, he knows too much about Daming.
When it came to mission, Kinney Court strongly agreed with Matteo Ricci's judgment.
If the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to understand and accept European knowledge and ideas, then the mission in the Ming Dynasty would never succeed.
Because, Daming is too big!
What made Jinnige feel even more terrifying was that the Ming Dynasty, which was the size of dozens of European principalities, actually had a strong central government.
Under the effective control of this government, the Ming Dynasty did not have the opportunity for them to preach privately.
In Jinnige's view, privately proselytizing without going through the Ming government would only anger the Ming government. That would do great harm to the missionary cause.
It was precisely because of this different view that in 1913 he was sent back to Europe by Long Huamin (head of the Ming missionary) to report to Europe.
Even after returning to Europe, Kinnige still did not give up his dream of preaching in the Ming Dynasty.
In the past few years, Jinnige has carried out a lecture tour to promote the Ming Dynasty in large and small principalities in Europe.
After several years of unremitting efforts, the church finally changed its view of the Ming mission.
At this time, Long Huamin, who insisted on preaching privately in Daming, had already bled in front of the Nanjing teaching plan.
All the missionaries in the Ming Dynasty were driven to Macao by the Ming Dynasty because of the Nanjing Case.
If the church does not change back to the route designed by Matteo Ricci, the church will be completely expelled from the Ming Dynasty.
In this context, Jinnige took more than 7,000 books worth tens of thousands of gold coins that he raised from Europe and set off again to Daming.
The return of Kinney Court marked a return to the missionary line set by Matteo Ricci.
At the end of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen was too shocked by the statement of free preaching put forward by Tang Ruowang.
When John Tong brought the news to the headquarters of the Ming missionaries, even the missionaries who adhered to Matteo Ricci's line could not directly accept it.
Tang Ruowang will disappear from Zhu Youzhen's sight for a year.
However, in the past year, almost all religious and influential Catholics in Daming have come to Zhu Youzhen's side.
This had to make the Ming missionary group turn their attention to Zhu Youzhen again.
And those influential Daming Catholics of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of praise for Zhu Youzhen also aroused the special interest of Jinnige.
The purpose of coming to Jinnige this time is to see with your own eyes the virtuous king in the mouths of many parishioners, and whether the church is worth it or not to put the treasure on him.
At this meeting, Zhu Youzhen's thirst for European knowledge instantly moved Jinnige.
In the Ming Dynasty, Jinnige had never seen anyone with such a thirst for European knowledge.
Even among those who have been baptized, none of them have reached the level of faith in the king.
Shinoh's performance convinced him that if Shinwang had a deep understanding and acceptance of European knowledge and ideas, Shinwang would definitely accept the church.
Like Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua and other parishioners, King Xin will bathe in the glory of the Lord all his life, spread the glory of the Lord all over the world, and dedicate his life's energy to it.
"Your Royal Highness King Xin, I want to build the library in the capital, I wonder if it's possible?"
In view of the above thoughts, Kinny Ge smiled and asked in a very fluent Chinese.
"Yes, of course. Loneliness is definitely welcome. ”
Zhu Youzhen immediately used practical actions to express his supreme welcome.
"Wang Chengen, go, go and find a suitable house immediately. Remember, be sure to look for a house that is suitable for your book collection. As long as you find it, no matter how much money it is, buy it for Lone immediately. ”
Seeing Wang Chengen leave in response, Zhu Youzhen turned his head and looked eagerly at Jinnige: "Mr. Jin, I don't know where your books are now?" Need someone to help you relocate? Gu can arrange enough carriages to bring them to the capital at once. ”
Such a god-sent goodness must not be allowed to slip in front of your eyes. Zhu Youzhen secretly swore in his heart.
didn't get it on this day, and Zhu Youzhen's heart couldn't be stable for a moment.
"The books are all in Hangzhou now. I would be grateful for the help of His Royal Highness King Shin. ”
Seeing Zhu Youzhen's eagerness to perform, Jinnige was extremely relieved in his heart.
Based on what the parishioners said and what he saw with his own eyes, Kinny Court believed that His Royal Highness King Shin did indeed have the qualifications of a saint.
The next step is to see how he guides His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming.
With books as a bridge, the distance between Jinnige and Zhu Youzhen quickly shortened.
Under the deliberate welcome of both sides;
Under the deliberate regulation of Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao;
The conversation in the room quickly became warm.
