"It's a pity that the nobles of this empire are too stubborn, and they have to use natural science to impress them! It's rare that Father Trigo has brought thousands of books here......"

Before he finished his words, Hu Guang on the side was really surprised when he heard it. These Europeans brought thousands of books with them? Impossible, right?

In his previous life, he had never heard of it at all. Surprised, he also forgot about other circumstances, and immediately strode over to the foreigner, and asked loudly in German: "You said that you brought thousands of books to Daming?" ”

The Westerner listened to it like a lightning strike. After struggling with his head, he suddenly turned around, his face was full of surprise, and when he was about to speak, he found that the person standing in front of him was just an Oriental.

He was stunned, listening to that voice, it was obviously a pure hometown dialect, shouldn't it be from his own country?

Ever since he set foot in this ancient Eastern Empire, he had never heard such a pure native accent. The Oriental people I encountered, whether they were ordinary people or princes and nobles, basically did not know Thaisi.

The voice I heard just now couldn't have been said by the brocade-clothed young man in front of me, could it be that he was hallucinating?

Hu Guang saw the changes in this foreigner's expression, and when he saw him stupidly staying there, his brows furrowed, so he asked again: "You said that you brought thousands of books to Daming?" ”

Watching this oriental boy speak a pure hometown dialect again, the foreigner opened his mouth wide in surprise, and let the cold wind pour into his mouth, and he didn't feel it at all.

Seeing his big reaction, Hu Guang also came back to his senses in his heart, as if he had heard so many books, and he was excited for a while, and he spoke German.

He tilted his head slightly, and found that the three guards behind him were all similar to this foreigner, looking demented.

Anyway, it's all said, and it doesn't matter. Hu Guang immediately turned his head and asked the foreigner again.

It was only at this time that the foreigner came back to his senses and hurriedly replied in German: "Yes, yes, Father Trigo brought more than 7,300 hardcover books to Daming, and they are stored in the Catholic Church in Beijing!" ”

As he spoke, his look of surprise finally eased. Still, he asked, somewhat incredulously, "How did you learn to speak Prussian so fluently, gentleman?" ”

When Hu Guang was confirmed, he was immediately overjoyed. It is undeniable that Europe during this period was indeed far ahead of the Ming Dynasty in terms of natural science.

Although I have an impression, I can record it into a book of some knowledge of later generations. But a complete scientific system is not something that can be written casually. Besides, I don't have three heads and six arms, and I have too many things to do, and it is impossible to devote myself to this cultural education.

If there are so many books now, after directly translating them, you can correct some of the key content by yourself, which will be twice the result with half the effort.

If a complete system of natural sciences is established, and with its own full promotion, the whole population begins to popularize it, then what else can the West outperform the East?

Hu Guang was very excited when he thought about it, and he wanted to know more about some details, so he could only communicate with this foreigner first.

"Is this hard to learn? I'm not unusual, right? Hu Guang replied with a smile.

The foreigner's mouth has become an "O" shape, isn't it difficult to learn? Why do those nobles find it difficult and only learn some simple words after learning for a long time?

He closed his mouth halfway, and unconsciously, he drew a "ten" on his chest and said with an exaggerated expression: "For God's sake, I tell you the truth, the communication between Eastern and Western languages is really a bit difficult!" ”

Hu Guang listened, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a playful smile, and suddenly changed his French and said: "I said, this thing is actually very easy, and it is really not difficult!" ”

At the same time that the foreigner opened his mouth again, Hu Guang changed to English and said again: "You haven't seen anyone who will, it doesn't mean that no one will." How can you imagine the vast China, the vast land and rich resources, and the outstanding people? ”

Well, after pretending to be forced, Hu Guang changed back to German, smiled and asked him: "My name is Hu Guang, I don't know what your name is?" ”

After half a salary, this foreigner finally came back to his senses under the blow of Hu Guang, his face was full of admiration, and he replied very respectfully: "My name is John Adam Schal von Behr, and my Chinese name is John Tong, and I am very happy to meet Your Excellency here!" ”

The foreign name is very unfamiliar, but this Chinese name, Hu Guang knows. He stared at Tang Ruowang carefully, looked at it for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

When I came to Yan'an Mansion, I was able to meet John Tang, which was really good. But isn't he supposed to be in Beijing, how could he appear in Yan'an Mansion?

But this is a minor problem, and he is most concerned about the previous problem. Hu Guang wanted to know more clearly, so he asked again.

Tang Ruowang naturally knew everything and said everything, and immediately told Hu Guang about the situation.

It turned out that these Western missionaries used their methods in Europe to preach in the land of China, but after it didn't work, they came up with another effective set of missionary methods. It was the study of Chinese, the Confucian classics, and the natural sciences of the West, especially the calendar and arithmetic, that were slowly accepted by a few people and gained a foothold in the East.

But after all, their number is limited, and the knowledge they have learned is certainly incomplete. In addition, they are taking the upper route, and those are all human spirits, ordinary knowledge, and you can't fool if you want to.

Inspired by this, Nicolas Trigo, known in Chinese as Jinnige, was ordered to return to Rome to report to Pope Paul V, and when he returned to the East, he collected more than 7,300 hardcover books, including the best of almost all subjects in the West.

In this way, they can ensure that they have enough capital to exchange knowledge with the nobles of the East, so that they can take the opportunity to increase their influence and achieve the purpose of missionary work in the great empire of the East.

In 1625, Jinnige came to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province to preach and built a church. However, last year, he was not in good health, so he went back to Hangzhou. The affairs of Shaanxi were taken over by John Tang, and this time he happened to go from Xi'an to Yan'an to see the situation and develop the church, and he met Hu Guang.

The cold wind didn't seem to have any effect on John Tang. He spoke like a river and explained his experience in his native language. Hu Guang listened quietly, and from time to time he was communicating in the chirping bird language.

This scene not only stunned his three guards. Even those Han missionaries, disaster victims and people from Liu Daneng's side were rare.

In the end, Tang Ruowang bowed deeply to Hu Guang with great joy, and said with an unusually respectful attitude: "I wonder if Mr. has time to help proofread the "Wangjing Theory" written by the contemptible people?" ”
