After relaxing, Zhu Youzhen had a new idea in his heart.

Since Jinnige has come up with Hanyu Pinyin, all foreigners in the later Ming Dynasty will use this as the first level of Chinese exam.

Well, there is such a good opportunity, and it also allows foreigners to taste the taste of our Chinese exam!

Haha, haha.

Thinking of the happy place, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile on his face.

Seeing the smile on King Xin's face again, Xu Guangqi and the four of Jinnige finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Fortunately, King Shin is not a fanatic believer in that kind of writing.

That's best, as long as the library project isn't affected.

To tell the truth, when they came to join King Xin, they were indeed forced to do so.

Since the Nanjing Case, the Ming court has been full of vigilance against missionaries from the West.

Xu Guangqi and others struggled to get the missionaries to leave Macao and re-enter the Ming mainland.

But this is also the limit of what Xu Guangqi can do.

The occurrence of the Nanjing teaching case completely destroyed the foundation laid by Matteo Ricci in the Ming Dynasty.

The missionaries now have to face a more difficult social environment than when they arrived in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty was already very dissatisfied with the missionaries' private missionary behavior.

In this case, Jinnige wants to establish a library in the capital that focuses on Western studies, if it is not for the protection of a powerful royal family like Zhu Youzhen, it is not even a matter of even thinking about it.

This is also an important reason why Zhu Youzhen obviously put forward such strict requirements for missionary work, and Jinnige and Tang Ruowang still had to find the letter of the king's mansion again.

Because at this stage, the missionaries could not find a better candidate except Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen knew very well in his heart what Jinnige really wanted.

However, with regard to missionary work, Zhu Youzhen still insisted on his principle of freedom.

If you have the freedom to proselytize, then the people must also have the freedom to believe.

Zhu Youzhen will never change this principle.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, building a library is building a library, which is fundamentally different from missionary work, so we should not mix it up.

You see, Kinney does a good job at this, and he doesn't talk about missionary matters.

Since Jinnige didn't mention this stubble, of course Zhu Youzhen wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

Let's find something happy to mention.

With a roll of his eyes, Zhu Youzhen smiled and praised Jinnige: "Mr. Jin's thousand-character essay is really good." The pronunciation of each word is very standard, and it is worth vigorously promoting. ”

Without waiting for the smile on Jinnige's face to bloom, Zhu Youzhen continued: "Listening to Mr. Jin's words, I understand very clearly.

If all of you speak as standard Chinese as Mr. Jin, then you can definitely reduce a lot of misunderstandings when you communicate. ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Tang Ruowang meaningfully, and then said seriously: "Lone will give you a suggestion." Of course, this is just a small suggestion from Lonely. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Jinnige solemnly: "You'd better use this book as the assessment standard."

Those who can accurately pronounce the pronunciation of these words and understand the meaning of these words accurately are allowed to communicate with the people of our Ming Dynasty.

Due to poor communication, the province has caused too many unnecessary contradictions and wasted everyone's limited energy. ”

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's suggestion, Xu Guangqi and Jinnige all fell into deep thought.

Yes, what the king said does make sense.

In the process of preaching, the missionaries did have many conflicts with the Ming people because of their accents or misunderstandings of the meaning of words.

These conflicts have greatly hampered the missionary process.

Even the occurrence of the Nanjing lesson plan has a lot to do with this aspect.

If we had really followed King Xin's suggestion and increased the assessment of the missionary's Chinese language, only those who passed the test could have been able to preach, and many unnecessary misunderstandings could have been avoided.

Perhaps this suggestion made by King Shin is really the solution to this problem.

The four of Jinnige were all very moved after carefully thinking about King Xin's suggestion.

And what makes Jinnige most tempting is the meaning revealed in King Xin's words.

The subconscious meaning of the king of faith is that as long as the missionaries meet the standards of the king, they can relax the conditions of the king of faith.

Although the king did not say it explicitly, Kinney decided to report to the church immediately.

Kinnige was going to recommend that the church immediately adopt the King's advice and conduct a rigorous assessment of the missionaries.

It is necessary to let His Royal Highness the King of Faith see their sincerity.

Of course, Shin Wang's suggestion to use the pamphlet he compiled as the standard for the examination was another reason for Jinnikaku's interest.

If the Church really added such a Chinese language test, then the Takinnige Pavilion would also go down in history with this test.

It is not only Chinese who have a good name, the temptation of fame in history, foreigners also have the same desire.

Jinnige, who was disturbed by Zhu Youzhen's proposal, obviously couldn't sit still.

After talking for a while, Jinnige took the initiative to bid farewell to Zhu Youzhen.

A few people said goodbye and went out, Li Zhizao suddenly remembered something and turned back from the door.

"Your Highness, the water conservancy projects in Huangzhuang need to be urged." Li Zhizao made a suggestion to Zhu Youzhen with a serious face.

"Why, is it that someone on the construction site is deliberately delaying and sabotaging, or is it that Mr. Li found out that there is corruption on the construction site?"

Hearing Li Zhizao say this, Zhu Youzhen's face quickly sank.

Qian Zhuang had an accident this year, and now the water conservancy site will also have an accident?

Why did his subordinates corrupt and deteriorate so quickly?

How did other time-travelers form their teams?

Why is it so honest and worry-free?

Why don't people have such bullshit?

Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure this out.

Seeing that King Xin's face was gloomy, Li Zhizao knew that King Xin had misunderstood, and he explained worriedly.

"His Royal Highness's water conservancy construction site did not delay the slightest slack, and the old man did not see any obvious corruption.

The old man just wanted to remind His Highness that the construction sites now need to speed up some progress.

On the ground in the capital, there was only one snow this winter, and the amount of snow was not large enough.

That's not a good thing.

If there are no more rains in the spring, I am afraid that there will be a drought. ”

When he thought of what he had seen, the water conservancy projects all over the Huangzhuang, Li Zhizao's worried face showed a little relaxation.

"The water conservancy facilities in His Royal Highness's Imperial Village have been mostly completed everywhere.

Only the little work left to sweep the tail should be completed before the spring planting as long as His Highness urges it.

As long as these irrigation facilities can be fully utilized, even if there is no rain in spring, it can ensure that Huangzhuang has no worries about spring planting.

Your Highness, this is a great deed of immeasurable merit!

Please also ask Your Highness to urge the progress of the project for the sake of the people of Limin! ”

Li Zhizao said compassionately.

Li Zhizao's words sound very much like what literati often say, asking for the people's lives.

However, when these words came out of the mouth of Li Zhizao, who was black, thin and old, and had just returned from the water conservancy construction site, the persuasiveness and appeal in those words were completely different.

These scholars are really the most respectable existence in the Ming Dynasty!
