Unlike the merchants of Simon, Carneiro came to Daming for the purpose of establishing a Far Eastern diocese and expanding the power of the Church. If he couldn't build a church within the Ming Dynasty, his trip would be meaningless. Urgent Passage at the Moment:

"Your Excellency, you can't do that. There are many believers in Macau who need the blessing of the Lord and need to listen to the Lord's voice. If churches cannot be built, my work cannot be completed, and their calamities and sins will increase day by day......"

Li Yanqing was very calm, "Mr. Carneiro, I understand what you said. But what can I do? Can I go and collide with Wu Junmen, isn't that looking for death? But I have thought of a way for you, the land here will not be approved for a while, and even if it is approved, it will be a time to build a church. Instead of wasting your time here, why don't you think about going to a place where there are more people, such as Guangzhou? ”

"Guangzhou? Are you saying that I can get approval to enter Guangzhou? Carneiro was overjoyed when he heard this, and the little unhappiness of the church land dispute just now disappeared. To be honest, even if a church is built in Macau, the impact cannot be compared with that of Guangzhou, and the population difference is too great.

Besides, guarding a cannon factory that jingles day and night, and can't even sleep well, as for preaching, it's a disaster to think about. It's just that Carneiro knows in his heart that the cannon factory is profitable, and these businessmen will definitely not shut down the cannon factory in order to take care of the church. For the sake of their own work, this disadvantage can only be overcome.

But if you can enter Guangzhou, then the above problems do not exist. As long as I can show a group of believers in Guangzhou. Then continue to enter the hinterland of the Great Ming Dynasty, even the merits of St. Jegov Xavier cannot be compared with himself.

The only problem is that the attitude of the Ming towards the Portuguese is always changing. Especially when thieves were rampant in Guangdong, Wu Guifang issued an order to prohibit the Portuguese from entering the prefecture and county, otherwise it would be regarded as thieves.

Even those Portuguese who went to Xiangshan to do business should be arrested and imprisoned, but it is nothing more than that Xiangshan County has always valued profit over law and will not be held accountable. Naturally, they don't know. After the last bombardment of Zhelin sailors, Wu Guifang wanted to reward these Yi people. An order was issued to allow the Portuguese to enter Canton and other capital cities and trade under the premise of legality.

It's just that this news was instructed by Li Yanqing to convey it, and Li Yanqing forgot it technically. Listen to Carneiro ask. What did he do:

"It's actually very troublesome, very troublesome. Although you are good friends of our Ming Dynasty, you must know that in our eyes, you are too similar to those Japanese robbers, and it is too difficult to distinguish them, so sometimes, we can only block you in order to block the Japanese and keep you out. But fortunately, there is one. I still have a few friends in Guangzhou, and with me coming forward to unblock the joints of Mr. Bishop, you can still serve in Guangzhou. Remember, though. Low-key, must be low-key, if the movement is too big, I can't help it. ”

Carneiro was overjoyed when he heard this, and once again blessed Li Yanqing. In his mind, this magistrate must have felt the greatness of the Lord. If you are willing to throw yourself into the arms of the Lord, you may become one of the first believers in the Far East. If you can get a Baili Hou to convert. It's easy to do your job.

It's just that where did he know Li Yanqing's thoughts, since the Zhelin Mutiny, Guangdong has strictly investigated the White Lotus Sect and bandits, and even other sects have suffered from Chiyu. Many small sects were also banned by the government as a White Lotus lineage, and many people were sued.

At this time, a foreigner who went to Guangzhou to preach and preach the Fa was already prone to get into trouble. I said a few words for him in front of Lin Shouzheng, saying that this foreigner can spit lotus flowers in his mouth, and the stubborn stone he said nods, and the people are easy to convert, and it is strange that Lin Shouzheng can let him open this church.

As for the book, he found it useful, and it was so large and thick that it seemed to leave no scars when he covered the man with the book and smashed it with a hammer. I learned this trick in a Hong Kong movie, and I just went back to let my subordinates practice it well.

When Simon saw that the matter of the church had been settled, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said, "Your Excellency, in the past, you often sent your subordinates to contact us, but this time you came, could it be that your county has encountered any difficulties in capital turnover?" Our two families have a very close relationship, and if you say a word, I will do my best......"

"No, no, Simão, my friend, you misunderstood me. I don't come to Gongchang every time I come to ask for money. Of course, I don't deny that my subordinates do this a lot. But this time I really bring you an opportunity, a chance to make a lot of money, and an opportunity to do business in Guangzhou. ”

As soon as he told him about the Xiangshan Fair, Simang's face bloomed with a smile: "Oh my God, Your Excellency the Marquis, you are really my angel." A great trade fair where we were finally free to trade ashore. I seem to have heard that the Portuguese all over Macau are cheering, let us praise God. ”

"Don't worry Simão, I'm not done. Now that you are doing trade in Xiangshan, I will not interfere. But you have to think about it, you are all a group of foreigners, what can you do without compradors? How many businessmen from the Ming Dynasty are willing to contact you directly? Even those who are willing to come into contact with you will be beheaded as fat sheep, worth one and ten for ten, and shoddy, and you will only suffer losses. So if you want to do business, the most important thing is to be a comprador. In the past, Liang Ruimin's family was dominant, which did have an adverse impact on your business, so I would like to recommend you a new partner, the fourth sister. ”

Hong Simei didn't look like a powerful pirate leader at all at this time, just like a married little daughter-in-law, sitting obediently next to Li Yanqing, letting the other party hold her hand, and seemed a little embarrassed. "Fourth Sister Hong, you don't need me to introduce this, you are also old acquaintances. But I want to make one point today, the fourth sister is my friend, a very good friend, as for the extent of the relationship, I think you understand. ”

"Nasty." Hong Simei snorted and pulled her hand back, seemingly a little embarrassed. "Don't listen to his nonsense, Mr. Simao. I have a husband, you know, if this gossip gets out, I won't be able to be a man. ”

"Madame Hong, rest assured, I vouch for the reputation of the nobility, and no one will leak the news of this qiē. But I still have to say that you are such a blessed woman, and what a rare opportunity to become the Marquis's best friend. You know, even in Lisbon, such a powerful and extraordinary-looking marquis is the goal pursued by countless noblewomen and celebrities, and I now regret a little, why didn't I bring my daughter. ”

Li Yanqing stretched out his arm and put his hand on Hong Simei's shoulder, "Fourth sister is shy, you also know the shyness of our oriental women." Simang, we are also old friends, you also know this friend of mine, her strength is no worse than Liang Ruimin, she and Liang Ruimin are your compradors together, what do you think? I promise that she will do better than Liang Ruimin, and if she does not do well enough, I will teach her a lesson. ”

"Lord Marquis, we have had a friendly relationship with Madame Hong in the past, but we never knew that you two were such close friends. If I had known this, I would have done my best to help Mrs. Hong, but I am sure that we will be even better together in the future. ”

Bugarao suddenly said: "Hey Simang, since we are for the sake of friendly cooperation in the future, why don't we take out that commodity and sell it to Mrs. Hong as proof of our friendship?" (To be continued)
