Part 4 Crazy Against the Sky Chapter 4369 To Kill or Not to Kill?
Destroy this European mission, or let them go home?
Zhao Xing repeatedly weighed the input and output of this matter, what will he gain and what will he lose in this matter?
What is gained is his benefit, and what is lost is his cost.
For a long time, Zhao Xing felt that it was not worth taking this risk, because it was possible that Fox had already transmitted the information that should be collected out of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, overseas trade was so busy, it was impossible for Zhao Xing to inspect every ship and everyone's luggage.
In this way, once Zhao Xing makes a move, he may lose a mature trade route, but gain very little. However, it is possible to trade directly with Jerusalem by leaving this mission......
Thinking about it, I can only blame myself for this matter, and blame myself for not having a strong sense of confidentiality in this regard.
Science and technology cannot be blocked by killing a few people, if you want not to be overtaken by others, the only way is to keep innovating.
After thinking about these things, Zhao Xing's expression softened, and he replied indifferently: "Things are already like this, let it ...... You know what I mean, yes? ”
Fox had been in a cold sweat just now, and when Zhao Xing finished saying this, he nodded busily: "Understood, understood!" Don't worry, adults. ”
The head of the European mission was full of doubts and asked, "Master Fox, what did this official say just now?" Why don't you translate? ”
Fox hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Xing, and led these people out of the meeting room alive, and when he arrived at the door, he whispered to the mission personnel: "Gentlemen, the gentlemen of this country like to talk in circles, and never tear their faces directly, the official just told me in this way that they have understood that we have obtained the formula, gentlemen, I once warned you, this official understands our language, please don't talk about our secrets in front of him, now, and let us go quickly, lest this official regret." ”
Fawkes almost escaped from the Lype Garden with the mission. When passing through the gate of the fort. He rubbed shoulders with a team of people who read people. The head of mission stopped. Huh: "Cross." How can there be a cross here? Is he our local sect? ”
Fawkes pulled the group out of the Amairie Garden. Only then did he whisper: "This is an Eastern Roman Catholic branch." The Inquisition classified them as hereticals. They then fled to eastern Burma. And at the time of the last dynasty. Become a land camel cult in this land. The Orientals call them 'Nestorianism'. Ladies and gentlemen. Please hasten your pace. This group of people has nothing to do with us. What we need most now is to get out of danger. ”
Inside the castle. In the reception room, Zhao Xing shook his head and sighed: "How can this be?" I struggled. I want to cover up that secret. How can it be easy for others to go? ”
In the venue, there are Yang Shi, Zong Ze, Qin Guan, Zhang Yi, and Deng Yufu. and the state and prefecture schools. These people came to the reception room. This is because they will meet with the best students from various state capitals. This is in recent times. Zhao Xing's usual project on the winter solstice. Zhao Xingwan sighed. Everyone else is bemoaning the leak. But it was not as heartbroken as Zhao Xing.
Zhang Yi chuckled: "How can you blame the people below." The sage said, 'There is no class in teaching'. The students followed the church of the scholars. I can't wait for all the people in the world to bathe in the teachings of the Master...... Don't you often say that worldview determines behavior patterns. They have been taught this since childhood. Naturally, I want to teach others everything I know......"
Qin Guan retorted: "When the ancestor was in the world. He was opposed to the sale of his books to Goryeo. If you are a student of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone has this awareness. What happened today will not be easy! ”
Zhao Xingyi waved his hand: "That's it, this really can't be blamed on those readers, blame us, blame us for not covering the secret, fortunately, what they took away was only black powder, because this thing is recorded in the 'Wujing General Essentials', and the other three gunpowders we know are secretly kept by the Guangnan Ordnance Bureau, and the formula is only known to me and a few people." Black powder is the gunpowder that we are about to obsolete, and if it is lost, the harm to us is not great. ”
Zhang Yi nodded in agreement: "The world is so big, and we are so far away from these Europa, it is estimated that it will be a long time before the two sides clash." As long as we continue to create new gunpowder, we don't have to worry about being surpassed by others. ”
While he was talking, the high priest An Sida led a group of students into the door, Zhao Xing looked at them, and said to himself thoughtfully: "Only the only God is metaphysical, this is the truth." Because of the existence of the only God, a scientific theory will be formed, otherwise, people will always blame the role of the gods for unknown things, and there will be no system if there are gods everywhere. ”
Everyone doesn't understand what Zhao Xing said, but what Zhao Xing said is exactly what modern society thinks is terrible about the West, they have to look for a system for everything, and with a specific system, scientific experiments will be detached from the empiricism of judging things on a case-by-case basis, and scientific laws will be easy to be revealed......
Ansida took the lead in saluting Zhao Xing, the etiquette of the Nestorian Christians resembles a synthesis of Buddhism and Christianity, he did it with one hand, drew a cross in the void, and then reached up with the other hand, made the shape of a lotus flame, and said kindly: "Bless you, my child!" ”
Zhao Xing hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "Great Mu, don't come unharmed?" ”
An Sida nodded: "Your mercy shines on the land of Shaanxi, in recent years, war orphans have been supported, I brought this batch of students this year, no longer limited to war orphans, there are also some lambs whose parents died of poverty and disease, thanks to you, they are now also funded, may the Lord bless you, may the glory of God be with you." ”
This is the first time to go out of Shaanxi, escort a group of students to Hangzhou, to accept Zhao Xing's face training, before, the people present knew that Zhao Xing took over Su Shi's inheritance, like to fund some people who can not read due to poverty and illness, but this is nothing, because "raising reading seeds" is the tradition of reading people in the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Xing has successively funded all the war orphans in Shaanxi, can not help but make the people present in awe, Zhang Yixian stood up: "Good deeds are not known, leaving people for this good deed, I thank the people of Shaanxi for their kindness." ”
Zhang Yi is a native of Shaanxi, and he solemnly thanked Zhao Xing as a Shaanxi person. Originally, he was born as a servant, so he naturally knew the difficulty of studying, so he was more empathetic to Zhao Xing's righteous act, but the teachings of Confucianism require people to be happy and angry.
Zong Ze is different, he once worked as an official in Shaanxi, during his official period, he heard that there were some wealthy businessmen who funded orphans in Shaanxi to study, he didn't pay much attention to this matter before, and now he knows that Zhao Xing is the main sponsor, and he solemnly surrendered to Zhao Xing: "In the past, I often heard that the Taiwei Mansion had a huge expenditure, and I often blamed the Taiwei for being arrogant and extravagant, and often compared the Taiwei to Cai Jing,
Zhize is wrong, Taiwei has left office in Shaanxi for many years, and he is still worried about the local area, Ze is not as good as it, he is very ashamed! ”
An Sida stood opposite, with a warm smile and tolerant look at everyone's discussion, this big pastor is now more and more god-like, his every move is full of compassion, and when the above discussion is finished, he beckoned: "Children, come and meet your sponsors." ”
The children below knelt down in a large area, all of them called "father-in-law", Zhao Xing learned An Sida's kind expression on his face, but he was muttering in his heart: "I am just doing a step further than Tong Guan's eunuch, Tong Guan still knows how to fund war orphans, am I not even as good as him?" ”
This is a humanistic society, just now the discussion of the group of high-ranking officials above, the local government has heard the edict, they have muttered in private: "I am ashamed to be a scholar, think of it, I didn't fund a lonely person in my life, Zong Zhizhou is still ashamed, if I don't do anything, wouldn't it be ......."
There was a lot of discussion about the scholars below, and they forgot to step forward and encourage the students with Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing had already walked into those students with the group of high-ranking officials at this time. Zhao Xing asked the students one by one about their hometowns, names, and their future aspirations, and took Deng Yufu's hand and introduced to the students: "Come on, come on, you will see, this will be our navigation school Xinshan Chang, the famous Deng Yufu, who is interested in learning navigation, report to this Deng Yingying, he has a belly of overseas stories, waiting for you to grasp ......"
Hearing Zhao Xing's introduction to Deng Yufu, the scholars from all over the country came back to their senses, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet and ask the students about their aspirations, and after a while, the students were divided up according to their aspirations. After a little leaning, the maids served a cold meal, and the students gathered around the scholars with their plates in one hand to exchange knowledge with the scholars.
You know, in ancient times, when the information was not smooth, such face-to-face teaching was of extraordinary significance to the students, they came from the countryside of Shaanxi, and the sour show in the countryside had any knowledge, and in most cases, the students did not understand the problems, and the sour show talents did not understand. It's different here.
Among those present are Qin Guan, a great talent, a great lyricist, a great dramatist, and a great screenwriter; There is also Zhang Yi, the great master of the Chengyi School, as well as the famous educator Mr. Yang Shi, Mr. Guishan, in addition, there is a generation of famous ministers who have cultivated Yue Fei, Zong Ze, and Deng Yufu, a famous traveler and agronomist who traveled overseas...... Even Zhao Xing has a lot of dazzling halos on his head, he can be regarded as a great economist of this era, a great military artist, a general who has won a hundred battles, a capable official who governs the place, and any student who has big doubts, here is just a random person, and he can answer them for them.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Xing pulled out and approached An Sida's side, at this time, there were only a few pious students around An Sida, who silently watched the lively exchange scene on the scene, but the expression on their faces was very indifferent.
In addition to Zhao Xing, the others were all Confucian scholars, and even Deng Yufu, an agronomist, was not very interested in Jingjiao, so no one around An Sida came to greet him, but An Sida still had a kind smile on his face, and he admired the scene in front of him kindly and calmly.
Zhao Xingxian apologized to An Sida: "Great Mu, the scholars everywhere are Confucian believers, and they also admire An Mu's compassion, but they can't express it in person, I'm sorry." ”
Ansida replied with a smile: "I'm sorry what, I am only glad that the doubts of the children who have been pestering me for many days have been answered, as for me, it is nothing if no one comes to greet me, if they surround me to greet me and let my lambs be left out in the cold, I will not be happy." ”
Zhao Xing immediately asked again: "How is the recent exhibition of Jingjiao?" ”
An Sida shook his head slightly: "Not good!" I originally thought that Jingjiao solved the problem of ancestor worship and got your support, and it should have a great future, but the actual situation made me very confused...... What puzzles me the most is that believers don't like to repent, they do wrong things, and they always have to find a lot of reasons to justify themselves, how can this be? God is watching, why don't they come to their senses? ”
Zhao Xing smiled: "Da Mu, think about it again, if a slave has neither property rights nor personal safety, and has no personal freedom, will he have a sense of responsibility?" It is impossible for a slave society to give birth to a sense of responsibility, a group of slaves they are not guilty, so they have made mistakes, it is not their reason, naturally they have to find all kinds of reasons to excuse themselves, please be patient with Bishop An, be patient! ”
Hearing this, An Sida turned to look at Zhao Xing with a smile: "Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that although you support the Nestorian Sect, you have never gone to church to worship, and you have not performed a single confession so far, right?" ”
After a pause, An Sida smiled again and said, "I'm afraid that ordinary clergy can't receive you, do you need me to personally preside over your confession?" ”
Zhao Xing turned his face away with a smile, he looked away, and said to An Sida: "There are too many secrets in my heart, and I still have a big secret, no matter what, I can't tell others, and I can't even tell my deathbed confession...... Don't be anxious, Bishop, for when I am dying, I will make a confession and tell all the sins I can tell. ”
Zhao Xing's face looked away, and he happened to see Zhao Feng walking in, he waved at Zhao Xing at the door covertly, Zhao Xing nodded slightly, Zhao Feng immediately flashed, and quietly slipped out of everyone's sight while no one was present.
After greeting everyone for a while, Zhao Xing found an excuse, quietly slipped out of the door, and arrived at another small reception room, as soon as he saw Zhao Feng, he asked: "Why did you come back so quickly, I thought you would need a few more days?" Have you met your daughter-in-law? ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "Qingzhao has been notified and asked her to come to see me quietly." The Iron Cavalry and I went out of Beijing together, and Dazai Zheng Juzhong also accompanied him, saying that he planned to escort the princess of Changguo to Hangzhou and cross the sea to Changguo to inspect the territory. But the Iron Cavalry was slow to move, and I sailed south by water, arriving a few days before them. ”
After talking about his situation, Zhao Feng immediately asked again: "Father, when I was in Zhending Mansion, the Shuai Jian Si once laughed at my father for building a watchtower group in Xuzhou, and he said: Without a firm guard, no matter how strong the castle is, it is a smooth road." What does the father think? ”
Zhao Xing was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "This time I met a folk weapon fight in Yiwu......
Zhao Xing slowly recounted the scene at that time, and then with a puzzled look, he said to himself: "I couldn't figure it out at the time, how could they be so fierce and so willing to fight?" Kid, you know what? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next,,More chapters,Support for work,Support!) )
