Chapter 243 - The Importance of Translation (2)

"Hehe, you're wrong again. God is right, but how can your Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the Germanic Peoples, now that the rivers are dying, be compared to the Emperor of our Emperor Amma? Have you forgotten that after the Thirty Years' War, the Peace-of-Westphalia [i.e., the Peace of Westphalia] granted autonomy to the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. This further weakened his so-called imperial power, and the princes within the empire could go their own way, and their territories were like independent kingdoms. "Hongyi did not give up, chased and beat fiercely.

"I ...... The old minister is really old and confused. It's all up to the master to decide. John Tang finally recognized his current status and situation.

"Hehe, Pharaoh Mar is in seniority, not in age! You're not old, but there's still a lot to do! ”

Having achieved the goal of "cooling" John Tang, Hongyi then comforted him, which is called Enwei and Shi!

"Old minister......" John Tang really didn't dare to speak more.

"Old Marfa, your wisdom is the blessing that God has given me! Xuan Ye only asked: This translator pays the most attention to mastery of a language, and when is the best time to practice language? "Blessing is a good thing.

"This ...... Naturally, it is best to learn from a young age. All children have been learning language since they were born, and I have never heard of any child who cannot learn the language of their parents. John Tang eased his emotions slightly.

"That's right! Then you learn a language other than your native language, such as Latin. When did it happen? ”

"Lao Chen is in the Three Crowns Middle School in his hometown."

"Middle school? You weren't a teenager at the time, right? ”

"Lao Chen was ten years old at the time...... "John Tang still didn't react.

"Ten years old, isn't it too late?"

"It's not too late, John learned the most solid and the best back then." John Tang is obsessed with his glory in the Three Crowns Middle School.

"So, I can learn as a ten-year-old child in the Qing Dynasty?"

"That shouldn't be a problem...... Oh! Amazing master, you mean to do an experiment on these forty children in the research institute? "John Tang has finally woken up!

"Experiments? Haha, yes, it's an experiment, but it's an experiment that can only succeed and cannot fail! Hongyi smiled as he wished.

"The Virgin Mary! You said that you wanted to establish this research institute that day, how many clever ideas are still contained in it! John Tang also smiled knowingly.

"It's just that this person is still a problem. The language used in Europa all night at the moment. Such as Latin, Italian, Greek, English, German, Rakshasa...... And people in French. The Qing Dynasty was indeed lacking. "Hongyi turned to the details.

"Well, there are quite a few Jesuit brothers, but now they are scattered throughout the empire to spread the gospel, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in a hurry" John Tong also made a difficulty.

"Rakshasa is easy to do. Not all of those Albazins are willing to continue their military service. It is also a way to make them a teacher. People who speak other languages...... Not so! How about recruiting from among the Westerners in Macau? One comes and one goes. Plus hiring trivia. Three or four months is just right! Hongyi's eyes lit up!

"Macau recruitment? …… Master Shengming! Tang Ruowang couldn't care about the emperor's special words, and blurted out.

Half an hour later, a more detailed "Macao Talent Recruitment Plan" was born.

"Old Marfa. Then again, this language thing is not possible without three or five years. But now, I always feel that I need this kind of translation talent overnight. Hongyi got up and walked around a bit to stretch his waist, but his brain was not idle at all.

"Well, what the master said is very true. Although the old minister tried his best, this government affairs were cumbersome, and sometimes he was not enough. Tang Ruowang stood up and said after the master.

"Alas! Don't get up, you don't need to make a big salute in front of Huang Ama, and you don't have to be polite on my side. Besides, if you talk about etiquette, I'm going to bow to you, old Marfa! As soon as Hongyi turned around, he almost got into Tang Ruowang's official robe, and hurriedly pressed him back into the circle chair.

"That'...... What if we let the place where we are in charge hurry up and make arrangements? Tang Ruowang sat down with some difficulty, and said with flickering words.

"You mean...... Four Translation Halls? ”

"Exactly, it's his job."

"However, in June this year, Dong Guoxiang, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and Admiral of the Fourth Translation Pavilion, has been promoted by the imperial court to the position of Zuo Tongzheng, and the position of Admiral of the Fourth Translation Pavilion is still vacant. Although these four translation halls belong to the Hanlin Academy, they have always been the affairs of the Han Shaoqing Admiral Pavilion of Taichang Temple. Old Mafa, you are Taichang Siqing, then Dong Guoxiang was originally your subordinate, and you will naturally not forget this matter. Don't...... Do you have someone who can be protected? This time it was Hongyi's turn to "suddenly realize".

"Master Shengming!"

used the word "Shengming" once, Hongyi didn't stop it in time, and John Tang repeated it again and again - fortunately, Hongyi knew that the "Shengming" here was the "saint" of the Virgin Mary, not for the emperor, so he didn't care about it.

"I wonder who you're going to recommend?" Hongyi thought to himself: This is what I care about the most.

"The military department is also for Wei Yijie and Wei Shisheng in the matter!" Tang Ruowang looked at the young master's reaction with a smile on his face.

"Oh? Wei Yijie! "Another celebrity is out!

"That's the man."

"Why this man? He stayed up all night in the Western Domain? Hongyi knew that Wei Yijie in history could be described as a "famous generation", but he didn't know that he still had the talent to manage translation work!

"Hehe, the master laughed, he is a Confucian scholar, his literary talent is first-class, and he also has insight into political affairs, but this Western language is indeed not his strength." John Tang smiled confidently.

"Oh......" Hongyi simply didn't do some useless work and speculated, just waiting for Tang Ruowang to explain himself.

"I don't know, this Wei Yijie is the seventy-first of the top three in the Bingxu Kedian test gold list in the third year of Shunzhi (1646), and the same year as the Zhu Zhixi you mentioned earlier." Tang Ruowang really took the initiative to open his mouth.

"Oh!" You are going to be promoted in the same year as Zhu Zhixi? No way! At best, it just made me love the house and Wu to have a good impression of Wei Yijie. Go ahead and talk about other reasons!

"The reason why Lao Chen is optimistic about this person is because he has been really conscientious and insightful as a 'Kechen' in recent years, and he has also given a lot of insights. He also has some friendship with the old minister in private, and there are a few words that I once said that I was very moved......"

"Really?"

"Not bad. He once said, 'Loyalty and generosity are the foundation of a man', 'Prudence in words and deeds is the first thing in self-cultivation', and 'If you want to do great things, you must be honest'. It is very much in line with God's wishes! ”

"Oh......" Hongyi thought thoughtfully, this is a reason, maybe Wei Yijie still advocates "religious self-destruction" in his bones, and he can also accept a missionary like John Tang in private. But the reason is not fundamental!

"In the way of politics, Wei Yijie thought that it was necessary to 'treat things as if there were nothing, and big things as if they were small things'. This is commendable! ”

Tang Ruowang also seemed to see the mentality of the young master, and was finally ready to give his core views. This time, without waiting for Xiao Xuanye to say the tone particle, he continued to say:

"During the eleventh year of Shunzhi, this person moved to the military department. In addition to 'sealing and refuting' as usual, his post of 'auditing the military and government' was also done very well. Because the military affairs in the southeast have not been decided, he said: "Today, Liu Wenxiu is back in southern Sichuan, Sun Kewang is expected to steal from Guizhu, Li Dingguo is in Xiyue, and Zhang Mingzhen is in the island. For the current enterprising plan, Shu is the gateway to Yunnan and Guizhou, and Shu is guarding and Yunnan and Guizhou are in a hurry, so Shu must not take it first. This situation in the southwest is also true. Western Guangdong is a little weaker, and the battle of Guilin last year was not a big hit, and it will be tried to do it again in order to contain my Hunan division. It is advisable to make the town more and more repeated, and the camera is defended. For these three parties, it is advisable to attack the flaws in western Guangdong first. The collapse of western Guangdong is expected to fall, and Yunnan and Guizhou should also collapse. This is a good example of his thoughtfulness and dedication. ”

Hearing this, Hongyi finally said: "In this way, this person does have his own unique insight!" In this case, today Lao Marfa immediately went to the court to protect this person. Naturally, I will protect the people you protect! ”

Don't forget, even if you don't protect it, when you get to my Kangxi Dynasty, you have to use this person well!

In fact, Hongyi never thought that the reason why Tang Ruowang wanted to give the right of the military department of the fifth grade to Wei Yijie to be the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple of the fourth grade, and put it under his command, is because of the meaning of "knowing the gratitude"!

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding happy teardrops (to be continued......)
