Although Hao Jing has a general manager who is proficient in Portuguese, and various wealthy businessmen also have a manager who is proficient in Portuguese, but it is someone else's person, and Wang Fulin will not consider Huang Tianren, an accomplice who has milk and is a mother, as the translator of the intermediate connection, so he decisively decided to cultivate it himself.

After all, according to a certain statement I have heard before, in an unfamiliar context, if reading and writing are not taken into account, a person with strong learning ability can communicate initially in three months, and can cope with most communication situations in a year, and as for reading and writing, it needs to be cultivated deeply. Therefore, he knew that the Catholic Jesuit Society was committed to missionary work in China, and hoped that the Catholic Church would be localized, and that the local people would be able to accept foreign things.

Of course, he deliberately did not use the word franc, but used Portugal, also to see how much trust Janerou had in the sent Father Francis. In the case that he had instilled so many translations in Jia Nailao, even if the Macau bishop hid it and didn't tell others, he would at least tell his trusted henchmen.

Sure enough, Father Francis reacted very quickly. He didn't have any incomprehension, and directly put the teacup that he had been quietly looking at and couldn't put down on the small table next to him, and then Huo Ran stood up and drew a cross on his chest solemnly: "May God bless you." Lord Wang, I can answer this matter without consulting His Excellency the Bishop. St. Paul's Seminary is happy to accept students recommended by Lord Wang, and we hope that these students will become friends with our missionaries and teach our missionaries your language. ”

"In that case, it seems that it is a mutually beneficial thing. Then it's decided. Wang Fulin smiled and nodded. If I want to turn back, I will go to Lianxi Academy to ask Wang Ji. Let's discuss the selection of the trainees. Although he was not sure that Wang Ji would definitely support him, for him, who had more than an order of magnitude higher information than the current people, it was still very possible to convince Wang Ji. And with such a Mr. Longxi personally endorsing it, then he will have a lot less resistance when he picks people again.

And Father Francis probably regarded the matter that Wang Fulin had just proposed as a great goodwill, and he originally planned to go around in circles and put forward the real intention of this trip, so he immediately said bluntly: "Respected Lord Wang, as a clergyman. His Excellency the Bishop is, of course, at the mercy of you, the official, in the matter of the transactions in Macao, but he wishes to ensure the safety of the Portuguese in Macao. According to the information received by His Excellency the Bishop, Lin Daoqian, who had plundered ships and killed countless people along the coast of Guangdong, had returned. and Lin Afeng, who defeated him, is still active in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian! ”

Lu Guangwu and Zheng Ming first brought the news, and the girl who called herself Xiuzhu also brought the news, and now even the Portuguese have repeatedly emphasized the news, even if Wang Fulin joked to Xiaobei before that he didn't plan to meddle. Bypassing the magistrate to think about how to catch Lin Daoqian, he had to take this matter into consideration at this moment. But he knows better. When Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, had already made arrangements for the elimination of the Yao people in the Luobianshan uprising, it was very unrealistic to expect the Guangdong General Military Office to divide the manpower, because the slightest carelessness would lead to the danger of fighting on both sides.

Father Francis saw that Wang Fulin's face was as usual, and he thought that Wang Fulin didn't know Erlin's prestige, so he deliberately explained more, and between the lines, it was nothing more than describing the two as pirate leaders who killed people and did all kinds of evil. However, to his disappointment, Wang Fulin still maintained a faceless and did not bother with saltiness, and asked lightly, "What is Bishop Najia's suggestion for this?" ”

"His Excellency the Bishop said that he was willing to move the Portuguese in Macau to fight again if the government needed it."

Wang Fulin remembers that when he was consulting documents in the Liangguang Governor's Palace, he saw that the Portuguese had gone out to fight against the Chaozhou Zhelin sailors who had quelled the rebellion, and finally the imperial court had exempted the Portuguese from taxes for a year, and the Portuguese were not very satisfied with this. From this, it can be seen that the cost of borrowing troops is such a thing. Speaking of which, it has become commonplace for the Ming army to make trouble, not to mention Guangdong, a place where the emperor is far away, even Nanjing has had this kind of thing, but the last time the Zhelin sailors failed to make a salary, they simply led pirates into the Kou, and they also rebelled, which really made things bigger. However, the dignified court owes officials all day long, and owes the generals salaries and silver, what is this called!

"Please go back and tell Bishop Jia if you don't tell me if the news of these pirates is true. I have thousands of soldiers and horses, and the government has enough power to annihilate him, so he doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Regarding the combat strength of the Ming army, the Portuguese in Haojing have always been polarized and have different views.

Some people think that the Ming army also struggled to suppress hundreds of Chaozhou Fu Zhelin naval troops last time, and they still need to be used as a restraining force at sea, which shows that this big country is only bright on the face. What's more, the Portuguese were defeated several times before, but they were all defeated by those small boats, and the huge country of the Ming Dynasty couldn't even build big ships. However, some people represented by Janerou believe that although the Portuguese have the advantage in naval battles, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and strong strength, and the defeat of those Japanese is a lesson from the past. Now that the Ming Dynasty has opened the door, they can smoothly buy those porcelain from China, and they can trade, so instead of continuing to consume power, it is better to maintain the status quo and gradually encroach.

The latter view now prevails, so Francis came this time to match the two sides in the name of the church, so that the Portuguese can obtain preferential treatment in trade by sending troops and efforts, after all, this is a precedent, and it seems that Wang Fulin, an official of the Ming Dynasty, did not have much prejudice against the Portuguese. However, the offer turned out to be rejected, much to his chagrin.

At this time, Master Cai, who had always been very conscious of accompanying guests and never said a word, saw that Wang Fulin's attitude was very resolute, and thinking of Gu Jing's instructions when he came, he immediately helped: "Master Wang is right, it's just pirates, I have the power to calm down, and I won't let you take action." ”

Francis was a little disappointed and had to settle for the next best. I hope to achieve another purpose of this visit: "Then. Will Lord Wang allow me to stay in Guangzhou for a few more days? I have always admired the prosperity and wealth of the **** kingdom. I have heard many businessmen talk about the magnificence of Guangzhou City, so ......"

"I'm sorry, Father Francis." Wang Fulin smiled, but what he said was still refusal, "The reason why I can let you pass through the lotus stem gate is because Haojing, that is, Macau, has just had a vicious case, so you went to Xiangshan County to ask to see Gu County's order." And Gu Xianling asked Master Cai to take you to Guangzhou City, and I also met you. However, you do not have a household registration in our country, and you are not a citizen of our country, so you cannot continue to stay in the city of Guangzhou. Of course, I will report to the Governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, Ling Zhitai, and implement a convenient system of visa introduction as soon as possible, and perhaps in the near future, as long as the Portuguese who are law-abiding in Haojing will be able to pass the guarantee of the guarantor. A group of more than 10 people will enter Guangzhou, accompanied by a tour guide and a specific person. You will be able to travel to your heart's content on the land of Guangzhou City. ”

Visa Guidelines? Guarantee? A group of ten? Guide? What is all this?

That is to say, Chen Bingchang has been following Wang Fulin for a long time, and Master Cai entrusted Gu Jingfu to probably understand the meaning, Father Francis really understood or not. However, although Wang Fulin refused himself, he was willing to open a little opening for the Portuguese to enter Guangzhou, and he still understood. After some further testing, he found that it was impossible to reverse Wang Fulin's mind, and the priest, who was also from the Society of Jesus, could only say goodbye, and Wang Fulin first asked Chen Bingchang to take people out, and then it was appropriate to teach Master Cai who came together.

"After you go back, tell Gu County Order, ask him to draw up a statement, and ask the Council to classify and manage the Portuguese in Haojing according to the number of years of residence, the degree of integrity of transactions, no criminal record, etc. Every year, a certain quota is given to the law-abiding Portuguese among them, allowing them to enter Guangzhou through the Lotus Stem Gate, where they can stay for anywhere from three to five days. Of course, you are not allowed to move alone, and if you overstay, you will be deported in the future, and you will never be allowed to enter our country......"

Wang Fulin introduced the visa system for foreigners in later generations with the strictest terms, while Master Cai nodded again and again immediately after the initial confusion, and still didn't understand what was going on in his heart? This Guangdong governor is the first person in the imperial history to support it, even if this kind of thing can be raised by himself, but he turned a corner and instructed his own proprietor, isn't it just a chance for Gu Jing to show his face? Of course, Master Cai also knows that opportunities are also accompanied by risks, but Gu Jing's attitude is already obvious, anyway, after this county order, it is likely to be turned into a promising second official, why not give it a go?

"Wang Ye rest assured, the student will definitely inform Dong Weng when he goes back, and Dong Weng will definitely live up to his trust!"

"In addition, let your county order be written to the Guangzhou Governor Pang Governor, and explain the reason why Father Francis came to Guangzhou, and now the article will also be rewarded to the Pang Governor for advice. Don't forget, Governor Pang is his direct boss, don't cross Governor Pang in everything, ask for instructions early and report late, so that Governor Pang will block the pressure of the political secretary for him, otherwise what's the use of just saying good things about him? If you want to perform, you must not lose your boss, otherwise it is not easy to find fault with him just because of the grade gap between the seventh and fourth grades? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Master Cai was sweating profusely, secretly thinking that he, the master, should help the proprietor take care of this kind of pass, but instead let Wang Fulin remind him, where to put his master's face? By the time Wang Fulin asked something else, and when he said goodbye, his vest was completely wet. First, the weather was too hot, and secondly, he was shocked to find that this young inspector was not like an officialdom chick at all, and he was even clearer than him as an accredited master in many doorways of the county government. If people and Gu Jing are exchanged, it is estimated that even the master will not need to be invited, and he will be able to clean up his subordinates properly!

I hit a hard nail in the procuratorate before, and officials like Pang Governor of Guangzhou and Zhao Haitao of Nanhai County, who were basically silent, were secretly relaxed, but other people who were on the opposite side at that time were not so lucky. Among them, Zhang Tingfang and Chen Youjie, the political envoys to the left and right of the Political Division, don't know how many letters they have sent to Zhang Siwei, the third assistant of the cabinet, but if they really want to say how jealous they are of Wang Fulin, it is impossible to talk about it.

After all, they are the lords of a province, even if they greatly offend Wang Fulin, but the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, how many inspectors can bring down such a high-ranking official as the political envoy? On the contrary, it was the patrol who offended the local officials, and in the end there were a lot of gray people. Therefore, these two not only consciously feel as stable as Mount Tai, but also have the spare energy to secretly pour something else.

Zhou Kang, the great master of the school, thought to himself that he was following the path favored by Lord Shoufu, even if he lost enough in the last verbal battle, he didn't think that Wang Fulin could do anything with himself. However, Cai Tiju of the City Shipping Division, who had worked all the way to the head of the Municipal Shipping Division, found that the old official Youzi, who was likely to have a bleak future, knew that he was now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself. Ever since Wang Fulin took out the Korean and Chinese palindromes like a trick and blocked all the other people's mouths, he began to panic that he would be moved aside like an obstacle blocking the road, so he desperately sought out the news from the political secretary.

With his current situation, except for the political secretary who is not dealing with Wang Fulin, he can't think of anyone who will send him news. Fortunately, the money was sent out, and an endless stream of news was also sent.

For example, Wang Fulin of the Procuratorate sent people to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion in Zhaoqing Prefecture, which is said to be very good news.

For example, after Zhou Congwen, the deputy envoy of Haidao, was tripped up by Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, and did not come, he remained silent because of the reaction of the DPRK and China.

For example, in Xin'an County, two fishermen disappeared at sea, and it took several days for two bodies to float back, but the boat was gone, apparently with knife wounds, and two others are still missing. It is said that the giant thieves of Chaozhou Mansion, Lin Daoqian, Lin Afeng, and others have sneaked back again, and it is likely that these pirates did it.

There is a lot of bits and pieces of news like this, and Cai Tiju doesn't know how much hair he has lost, but he can't find hope that he can pull himself out of the quagmire for a while. And because the last time he was in the procuratorate, Yang De, the deputy of the Municipal Shipping Division, and Wu Wang, the deputy inspector of the Haojing Inspection Division, were directly named by Wang Fulin, and the deputy Yang De was promoted because of his grade of more than seven grades, and he was fortunate to be on the legendary impeachment recital, and even Wu Wang, a petty official from the ninth grade, also made a mistake.

For this reason, Wu Wang's family rushed to the doctor and directly begged him and gave him a very generous gift. Cai Tiju wanted to accept it, but he had dealt with Wu Wang twice, and he knew that this kind of guy was completely blind to be an official, and his wife and children were even more hobby. If he doesn't pay attention, he will definitely be publicized all over the city when he turns back.

Therefore, at this moment, even if he was impatient, he had to appease Wu Wang's mother-in-law and son. But seeing that the two of them were quite ignorant, and they wanted him to come forward to speak, he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

Now, if you can't say that you can't keep your position, in this case, why don't you take one of the news, as well as this pair of mother and son, to avenge the revenge first?

Yes, that's a good idea!

Thinking of this, Cai Tiju said to Wu Wang's mother-in-law and son with a smile: "Brother and sister, virtuous nephew, I know your suffering, but it's a pity that this Wang Xun is quite tough now, and I haven't fought before, but in his hands, he made a mess, and even this son can't be saved." I'll tell you the truth, I have an idea, but I don't have that way......"

He casually told the incident in Xin'an, and described it as very dangerous for pirates to haunt, suggesting that this mother and son, if Wang Fulin went to investigate, maybe they would be able to take revenge. But this has to be spoken by Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, he doesn't have the ability to influence such a big person.

When the mother and son had left as if they had gained something, he immediately found the brother-in-law he had brought to office, and said the idea almost close to the root of his ear. He thought that his brother-in-law might be timid and unwilling to do it, but he didn't expect the idle boy to slap his hands and say, "Brother-in-law, you finally opened up this time." As an official, you rely on being ruthless! I'm going to ask people to give the mother and son ideas and let them go through the path of the school that week. This great master of learning must want Wang Fulin not to get in the way in front of him, as long as he says that the chief staff of the greedy Lingling Authority, why worry about things not being done? ”

Cai Tiju smiled when he lifted his eyebrows. As long as there is no Wang Fulin in the way, maybe he will be able to keep his position at that time, and he will be able to take a deputy position if he is not able to drop one level, and he can still go to Haojing to preside over the crime and make meritorious contributions?
