Chapter 188: The Messiah

"If the patriarch has this attitude." Chen Ke didn't eat his set, and said coldly: "Then there is no need for us to talk about it." His eyes were like falcons, and he stared at the other party and said, "Don't hide your IQ, let alone insult my IQ." ”

"Hehe," Levi smiled, smiling and looking at the sacrificial Lan Bi.

Lan Bi didn't speak, just closed his eyes slightly.

"San Lang is unusually familiar with us." Li Wei understood what Lan Bi meant, Jiaozi was their core business, and Jiaozi could not be said to be deep. After pondering for a moment, he diverted the topic and said, "There is a question I want to ask San Lang." ”

"Please.

"Why do you understand our prayers?" Levi stared at him and said, "Who told you?" ”

"Knowledge about you." Chen Ke said honestly: "It seems to have been born in my mind. ”

Lan Bi opened his eyes suddenly, looked up and down at the tall, burly, well-defined Han man, and spat out a string of Hebrew words from his mouth.

"I only know simple Hebrew." Chen Ke spread his hands and said, "So you'd better speak Chinese." ”

"......" Lan Bi couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes, and said with a hint of luck: "What does San Lang know?" ”

"I know that the name of the ancestors of your people of joy was Jacob, and Jacob was the grandson of Abram, and he was later called Israel, which means 'wrestling with God,' and because he broke his hamstring in the fight with God, you have to pick out and throw away the hamstring when you slaughter the animals. ”

"Not bad." Lan Bi twisted his beard and jaw, and motioned for him to continue,

Jacob had twelve sons, and his descendants formed twelve tribes, which were separated in Palestine and later united into a nation, with the great King David as king. Later, at the time of King David's grandson, it split into the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judea, the former being destroyed by the Assyrians. The latter lasted for hundreds of years before being wiped out by the Babylonian Empire, the Temple of King David was destroyed, and the Jews were reduced to Babylonian slavery for thousands of years. ”

Later the Persian Empire wiped out Babylon. You were allowed to return to Palestine to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, and later became subjects of the Greco-Roman Empire. A thousand years ago, the Jews revolted against the Romans, Jerusalem was breached by the Roman army, the temple was demolished, and the Jews were forced into exile around the world. ”

"You, the Jews who migrated eastward, spent hundreds of years migrating to India, and then hundreds of years to our Great Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, you were allowed to live in Bianliang and become the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty. Emperor Taizu said to you, return to my Huaxia, abide by the ancestral style, and leave Bianliang. And I gave you seventeen surnames, and since then you have finally stopped wandering. ”

Chen Ke used a flat tone to tell the origin and bumpy history of the Jews. Li Wei was dumbfounded when he heard it, because it was the first time he had heard of some palm stories.

Lan Bi held his beard, looking fine, but his heart turned over the river and the sea. He was a rabbi who gave pleasure to everyone, that is, the priest of this group of Jews, and the history of his people had always been regarded as the supreme secret, which was passed down from one priest to another, and was never known to outsiders. The tall Han young man in front of him can count the treasures of his family, how can you not surprise him?

Mu Ran said for a long time: "Could it be that there is another rabbi in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"No, the rabbi knows best." Chen Ke shook his head and said.

Of course not, a Ci Leye person in the Great Song Dynasty was in the early Song Dynasty, trafficking cotton cloth from India, and took a boat to Guangzhou, and looked, wow! It's so prosperous, much stronger than India, and suddenly I have a good impression of the Great Song Dynasty. Then continue to walk north, and when I arrived in Yangzhou, I saw wow, it's so prosperous! It's a hundred times stronger than India, so I don't want to stay.

The rest of the people heard that the capital Bianliang was better, and they were stunned when they continued to go north, this is really heaven! So he called for friends and gathered the Jews scattered all over the country, formed more than 500 households, and settled in Bianliang.

The Jews are a group people, and now in the Great Song Dynasty, all the more than 1,000 families of people living in Bianliang City. There is no doubt about it.

"Could it be that Saburo has seen it abroad?"

"I have never stepped out of the Great Song Dynasty."

"That's what someone told you?"

"Nope."

"......" Lan Bi was silent, he believed Chen Ke's words, although the Great Song Dynasty was a commercial society, but the exchanges between the East and the West in this era were almost zero, and after they moved to the Ming Dynasty, they also broke off contact with tribes around the world, and it has been a hundred years now.

So Chen Ke may really be born to know. And in their teachings, such people are called 'prophets'

===============================================================

The atmosphere in the study room has obviously changed, and Lan Bi and Li Wei have become serious, and there is no more perfunctory at first.

"I don't need anything from you." Chen Ke said lightly: "What I want to do is a win-win situation for us. ”

"Win-win?" Although it was the first time I heard this word, it was not difficult for wise people like Levi and Lan Bi to understand it at all. "Listen first, what you will get." Chen Ke smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first, I will help you win the right to build a church, so that the imperial court can recognize the legal status of the Yici Le Ye Sect." ”

It hit the itch in the hearts of the two old men at once. They came to the Great Song Dynasty, where they were peaceful, rich and free, no one enslaved them, no one forced them to convert to other religions, and once they were given pleasure, it was like going from hell to heaven. The only fly in the ointment is that churches cannot be built...... Because although the Great Song Dynasty had freedom of religious belief, it was for the general public, and if they wanted to preach, "Heng, without the emperor's approval, wait to be used as a fallacy to confuse the public and plot to kill the head",...

However, the people of Yici Le Ye were only granted the right of residence, but the Yi Ci Le Ye Sect was not recognized by the government, so they could not build churches.

In fact, Judaism does not have the enthusiasm for mission, they like to play by themselves and do not bring outsiders, so there is no threat of becoming a big one, but this reason is not clear to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one believes it, because they can only engage in religious activities at home, making them like thieves.

To be able to build a church and to believe in one's own religion openly and honestly is the biggest dream of every person who is happy to be happy, and if Chen Ke can really do it, he will be a great benefactor to a happy person.

"What does San Lang want us to do?" Lan Bizheng said: "I can make a contract with you on behalf of Yici Le Yeren, if you can fulfill your promise, as long as you don't violate our beliefs, don't betray the Great Song Dynasty, and don't hurt the lives of our people, we can do anything for you." ”

"Don't worry, listen to me." Chen Ke said softly: "In the future, I will help you find your way back to Jerusalem and bring back new classics for you from Mount Zion, or it is not impossible for you to go home." ”

"Home?" The faces of Lan Bi and Levi showed childish confusion, the Jews have been in exile for thousands of years, wandering the seven seas, can they still return home?

"You don't know that the Roman Empire has long since fallen, and now it is the Seljuks who are ruling Jerusalem who have allowed Judaism to exist, and many Jews in exile have begun to return to Jerusalem." Chen Ke was a fool, and although he was telling the truth, it was too unkind to tell the Jews to go home less than forty years before the Crusades.

But at this moment, he already has an aura in the eyes of the two old men, in the eyes of the two old men, if he is not a prophet, how can he know everything about the distant West?

"Well, these gifts are enough for us to give the joy of the people to the soup," the old rabbi who had already made him unfazed, even though it was just a painting cake, could not help himself. He pressed his heart and said in a trembling voice, "Tell me your conditions!" "With such a heavy gift, there are naturally heavier requirements in the back.

"I just want you to serve me during the Great Song Dynasty." Chen Ke said lightly, but he was stunned by Li Wei and Lan Bi, and they did it for a long time, this later life is not to ask for cooperation, but to incorporate them.

Although the population of Yici Leye is less than 10,000, and they have always shown a low-key appearance, it does not mean that they are weak. In the commercial society of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jews with rich commercial talents were like fish in water, and in a hundred years, they accumulated countless wealth. In their eyes, Chen Ke's money is just a drop in the bucket.

The two sides are like a mouse and an elephant, but at this moment the mouse wants the elephant to listen to him from now on, what do you say the elephant is feeling?

If it weren't for Chen Ke's divine dao to suppress them and give such irresistible conditions, the two old men would have to send them off directly.

"In the future, I will obtain an independent land, a paradise that is not disturbed by a thousand disturbances, and a paradise on earth with superior conditions. If you come home and find that it is better to come back to the Great Song, I will allow you to move to my territory, and if you serve me all your life, I can give you this territory so that you can establish your own Jewish kingdom! ”

The two of them were stunned again, especially Lan Bi, who stared at Chen Ke, his lips moved, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped.

Or Li Wei should be more sober, he said to Chen Ke: "Emperor Taizu's kindness, we will give Leye people a sense of memory for generations, no matter when, we will not help you rebel." ”

"You are loyal servants, and I am not a traitor." Chen Ke laughed and said: "Don't worry, the land I am talking about is not within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Despite this, what Chen Ke said today was too shocking, and the two old men exchanged glances and said to him: "San Lang must know that as long as we make a contract, we will always abide by it. So we have to be careful with every contract, especially ...... An agreement that cannot be described in words. So, give us a few days to think about it, okay? ”

"Yes."

I'm sorry, because of the weather, the rhinitis is bad again, and my head is swelling one day, and I have only finished writing a chapter until now. (To be continued)
