Chapter 32 Each has his own mind
Bi Fangji is also full of poetry and books, of course he is not stupid, he came to visit with such fanfare, obviously Yang Bo has understood his decision.
Originally, Bi Francis came to talk to Yang Bo about the specific implementation plan and the role of the church in it, but he didn't expect Yang Bo to turn the topic around the old story of the Nanjing lesson plan, which was clearly warning him something?
Negotiations have already begun!
Thinking of this, Bi Fangji stood up and respectfully arched his hand towards Yang Bo: "I still hope that Brother Zhixian will teach me ......"
Yang Bo nodded, waved his hand and said: "It seems that the priest finally realized the problem, which is also a problem that Father Matteo Ricci has been unable to solve. ”
Yang Bo narrowed his saliva and continued: "This is something that monotheism cannot overcome, and I don't have any good way, the right to choose is still up to you, either you give up the "purity" of monotheism, or give up the "impure" believers, how will you choose, priest?" ”
Bi Francis was sweating profusely, "It seems, it doesn't seem to be so serious, right?" Brother Zhixian, we have been trying to integrate into the local culture of the Ming Dynasty, and we have made the greatest changes to many inappropriate things......"
"What I'm talking about is the future," Yang Bo said lightly: "Of course, the solution will not be nothing, for example, now you adopt this relatively flexible missionary method, which is also one of the reasons why I am willing to cooperate with you."
"That? So what else is the reason for Zhixian to be willing to approach my Christian church? Bi Fangji didn't know where Yang Bo's confidence came from, what kind of cooperation did he talk about with the church? You must know that Xu Guangqi was an official and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, even so, Xu Guangqi had no way to protect the peace of the faithful, but there was something inexplicable about Yang Bo that attracted Bi Fangji, and he insisted that God was guiding him.
"It's not close, it's just a mutual need, although monotheism has a lot of harm, but there is one thing that other polytheistic religions can't match, that is, polytheism has no cohesion, and is accustomed to scattering sand, but the biggest problem of the Christian church in developing believers in my Ming Dynasty is that the foundation is shallow, and the second is the limitations of the doctrine itself. Yang Bo shook his head and said with some interest
Bi Fangji bowed his head and was silent, but he was pondering in his heart, what Yang Bo said was obviously hinting at the premise of the cooperation between the two, the foundation was shallow, and he was powerless to change it in a short time, in addition to the use of force to force the second point that can be changed, the strength of the Ming Empire is obvious to all, and force of force is just the whispers of those arrogant people. In the diocese of reading power in the Ming Dynasty, he has the right to interpret the doctrine, but will this make him a "heretic" in the mouth of some people?
Thinking of the horrors of the Inquisition, Bi Francis couldn't help but shudder, and he fell into a difficult choice......
Yang Bo glanced at Bi Fangji with concern and comforted: "Why should the priest worry about it? We have a saying here called crossing the river by feeling the stones, and since the priest can't solve it for the time being, it is better to put these problems aside. Not? Didn't the priest just say that there was something happy about it, and you haven't told me yet? ”
"Happy event?" Bi Fangji raised his head: "Ah, that's right, if I don't ask, I'll almost forget......"
Bi Fangji was very depressed, Yang Bo seemed to have been controlling the rhythm of the conversation, and he couldn't be so passive!
Bi Fangji calmed down and then said: "Zhixian should still remember, I have always wanted to contact the prefect Yan Ersiyan and ask for his protection, right?" Yesterday my lord's steward informed me that tomorrow morning, the prefect might see me......"
"Oh? This is indeed a happy event," Yang Bo suddenly became interested
"Well, but after some conversation, I have decided not to buy land in Huai'an Mansion to build a lotus hall, so it doesn't matter if I don't see the prefect" Bi Fangji looked at Yang Bo, who was still expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, "Didn't Zhixian say that he wanted to meet the prefect?" I'm willing to take the needle, but I don't know what happened to meet Master Yan? I'm going to reply to the steward......"
"It's not a big deal, it's just a gift of silver" Yang Bo looked at Bi Fangji, and suddenly asked with interest: "Father, didn't you buy land and build a house in Huai'an?" How about partnering with me to make a big deal? If you want to go to Shandong Mansion, you can spend all kinds of expenses, and you can't do it without money. ”
Bi Fangji didn't say anything, he looked at Yang Bo suspiciously, wanting to see something from Yang Bo's face.
This guy can't be a liar, right? I'm a fool, but I'm not a fool! Seeing Yang Bo's eyes shining with a greedy look, the more Bi Fangji thought about it, the more suspicious he became......
Seeing the priest's distrustful look, Yang Bo was secretly amused, and immediately explained the way of gambling in its original form, and also talked about the previous few operations.
"Oh, my God," Bi Francis couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest when he heard that gambling was a hundred times more profitable, "It's incredible, I still insisted that smuggling some silk and silk to the West is the most lucrative industry in the world?" ”
"Gambling is the most lucrative industry? No, no, no...... Father, I guess you haven't seen a more lucrative industry," Yang Bo was very unimpressed by the priest's fuss
"Oh God," Bi Francis asked with a look of anticipation, "what other industries?" ”
"You'll know later," Yang Bo completely ignored the priest's curiosity: "So, the question now is, are you willing to cooperate with me?" ”
"Of course," Bi Francis nodded, the priest is just a profession, and he also has to eat and drink Lazar, "but I want to participate in the whole process"
"No problem" Yang Bo readily agreed: "Priest, you should know that you are not suitable to show up, so you are responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts, right?" I'll let a guy help you."
Bi Francis nodded happily and agreed, responsible for spending and bookkeeping, so the flow of every money is under his control, and what he needs to consider now is how much he will invest is more appropriate.
The two discussed business again, and Bi Fangji suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, I still have a happy event that I forgot to tell you."
"What else?" Yang Bo was a little baffled
"That's the case, doesn't Zhixian want to go to Shandong Mansion to donate? Xu Guangqi, who was hailed by the Christian Church as the Three Pillars of the Holy Religion, has a close friend who happens to be an official in Qingzhou Mansion. ”
Yang Bo glanced at Bi Fangji, who was a little proud, I'm afraid he deliberately left it until now, right? Why don't you go to Shandong so happily with someone you've only met twice?
