Chapter 464: Christ Church

Zongxin said: "This is the territory of another religion, do you see the cross on it? This is the sign of Christianity." Christianity also has many branches, just like Buddhism is also divided into Central Plains Zen Buddhism and Western Regions Tantra, and even Zen Buddhism has six branches, I don't know how many branches of Christianity there are. But there's what I want......"

Zong Xin took a few steps forward and walked in front of the man, the height difference between the two was not much, and Zong Xin was slightly shorter. Everyone followed behind, thinking about a question, how could they communicate? Even if there was something Zong Xin wanted in it, should Zong Xin go in and grab it directly? Although the sects are different, they are all monks and cultivators, Zong Xin should not be such a scoundrel, not to mention that this is not his territory.

Zongxin clasped his hands together and said, "Father~Can.. Chinese?”

"Yes, I can speak Chinese. This yellow-haired and blue-eyed man actually said something that everyone could understand, although his accent was a little strange, but everyone understood, but it was Zongxin's words that people couldn't understand.

“Great,.。 ”

"I'm amazed that you can speak English. ”

“... child。 Zong Xin said: ".... d。 ”

The priest smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand and gestured, "Please."

Zongxin shook his head and told the others to go in, and then took the lead in entering the church. The rest of the people looked surprised, but they still followed Zongxin into the church.

Once you enter the church, there are a lot of benches neatly arranged here, and unlike the usual spring benches, these benches have backrests behind them. And one such bench can seat several people, and if you count it, at least a hundred people can sit here.

Zongxin explained: "This is a Christian church, which was introduced to the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty and was once received by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin allowed Christianity to establish a church church in Chang'an, about a hundred years ago, when Tang Wuzong destroyed Buddhism, Christianity was also implicated, and the church continued to move to the frontier, and now the Central Plains can no longer see the church, this place is too far away from the Central Plains, and it is a gathering place of various cultures, so there is a such church remaining, but it also surprises me very much. ”

"Master, why do you speak these bird languages?"

"It's English. ”

"An eagle is a bird, so that's the language of birds. ”

Zong Xin really couldn't explain to Tianya, so he had to say depressedly: "You haven't learned the ability to be a teacher, so I'm too lazy to tell you so much." I'm here just to buy something, and I'm sure it's something that the Central Plains doesn't have. ”

"hat.do.?" asked the priest as he approached Zongxin.

“Cheese.d. ine。 As he spoke, Zongxin took out two large gold ingots from his bosom, which were enough to buy the entire church. Although the priest's expression was still very calm, he was very excited, because the gold ingots were enough for them to buy a lot of spices and porcelain. That's what they're here for.

“.. you。.things。 The priest took the gold and immediately commanded the people here. Because the priest spoke so fast, even Zongxin didn't understand what he was talking about, but it probably meant that these people should hurry up and move out all the things Zongxin needed.

Zongxin explained: "Churches like this have lost the meaning of preaching, so they just keep their faith and do business in the Central Plains. In fact, everyone also takes what they need, in their hometown wine is a very common drink, take it here to sell money or even make their own wine in exchange for silver taels, and then use these silver taels to buy spices and porcelain to transport back to their hometowns, the price of spices and porcelain in our hometown is average, but in their hometown it is extremely expensive. ”

"How expensive can it be? Spices are commonplace. "The demon is very surprised, it only costs a few dozen dollars to buy a sachet outside, and he must not die if he transports spices back to his hometown?

Zong Xin sighed: "These people's hometowns didn't know what spices were, but after knowing the purpose of spices, the price was extremely expensive. The same amount of spice could be exchanged for three times the weight of gold in their homeland. ”

Everyone turned their heads to stare at Zong Xin, and they couldn't believe that this was true. The same amount of spices in exchange for three times the weight of gold? Is it so worthless in their homeland? But if you think about it, they exchange spices for gold, which proves that gold is very valuable, and that gold is their liquid currency just like here, but they can't figure out how spices are so valuable?

Zong Xin said: "In our place, the spices used by the poor families to eat every day can be exchanged for ten tables of banquets in their hometowns. But in their hometown, these things are not delicious, because there are almost no spices in the food, and they don't know what food is, just put things in water and boil them, and when they are cooked, they just put some salt. And it's not one thing, it's a lot of things cooked together. Not to mention the ordinary people there, even the nobles or the emperor were not much better. ”

Zongxin's wives couldn't believe their ears, these yellow-haired hometowns were too pitiful. At that time, another question came again, this question had been around them for a long time, where did Zong Xin know these things?

"That'...... These people are eating too badly. "Ning An feels a little nauseous, can you eat something like that?

Zong Xin pouted and said: "There is no way, because we produce more spices here, and only the royal relatives can afford the sachets you usually bring in their hometowns." Because of their different beliefs, they rarely take a bath there, and their bodies are very smelly, and they need a lot of spices to cover up the smell on their bodies. ”

The demon asked curiously, "Why don't they take a bath?"

"The main reason is that their medicine is very backward, and the cold and flu in our Central Plains are not a serious disease, but the cold and flu in the external pollution of the hometown will kill people. And then there's ...... As a matter of faith, Christianity believes that only unclean people need to wash their bodies with water, so bathing is a way for them to cleanse themselves of sin. ”

Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand, but they understood something, why these yellow hairs would travel thousands of miles to the Central Plains to do business, because the environmental conditions here are far superior to their hometowns, and their life in the Central Plains is far better than that of the nobles on their side, and they can make a lot of money here. When you want to go home, you can take the money with you to live a rich life.

Soon, the priest had his men bring in a lot of barrels, as well as some cylindrical objects. There are also some squares wrapped in paper.

“that'。 The priest said, "the.'. more。 ”

The others looked at it, and there were quite a few things. Five barrels of wine, and the rest should fit half a car. Are these all edible?

Zong Xin said: "? ... church。 ”

“e.don'.。 The priest was ashamed, but there was nothing left in the church that he needed. The priests came here to establish the church, but they didn't bring anything of value, even the wines and cheeses were made locally, they just had the know-how. The priest couldn't think of any time when he could give him something.

“Bible。 After saying that, Zongxin took out a Buddhist scripture from his bosom and handed it over, and the priest already knew that this person was a Buddhist, and he did this just to show friendship. So he immediately handed over a well-bound Bible to Zongxin.

“Thank.you。 ”

“.”

After the two exchanged things, the priest ordered the things to be loaded into a very dilapidated car, which in fact did not sell much in Toyosu Castle. They mainly used wine as a cargo, and cheese and butter were only accepted by very few people, but wine was very popular.

It's just that winemaking takes time, and they don't have enough money to buy raw materials, so they can only sell them once, and then buy raw materials to make wine, and the extra money is used to buy spices and porcelain in addition to the necessities of life, and often people transport these things back to Eastern Europe through the trade routes, and then the people there get some goods to bring back here through the help of the church. In fact, the life of these priests is only barely enough, but this time it is considered to be a fortune, and they will not be able to make so much money for several years.

Zongxin asked Tianya to push the cart, and he and his three wives walked around. Tianya really felt that his life was miserable, but he was helpless, because Zongxin was the master, and his orders could not be disobeyed. And after what happened just now, Tianya's worship of Zongxin has deepened, and I didn't expect that the master would still speak bird language.

Youyun Eighteen Riders have been guarding outside, and they don't know what is going on, and physical work like this has always been done by Tianya, which is also to exercise Tianya's physique. Of course, as a child who has just turned ten years old, Tianya's strength is not small, but Zongxin has always believed that Tianya still needs more exercise. Although he looked a little distressed, the Eighteen Riders of Youyun did not dare to express any opinion, because the master's order was absolute and no doubt was allowed.

This time, the Eighteen Riders of Youyun did not bring their mounts, and the wolves did not want to go out because the weather was too hot, so they let them rest in the stables of the inn. Ordinary dogs are originally very afraid of heat, not to mention that these wolf cubs have thick fur, and they would have hung up long ago if they were replaced by ordinary wolves, but these wolves raised by Zong Xin are no longer ordinary wolves, and they can completely cope with such a situation.

The group came to a bustling side street, full of small vendors, selling some handmade art that is rarely seen, as well as jewelry such as rings and necklaces. Zong Xin asked his three wives to take Tianya to go shopping, and he took Youyun Eighteen to sit in a small vendor, which is a stall selling snacks, six tables, each table can seat four people, and Zong Xin and his party directly accounted for five.

Zong Xin directly threw a tael of silver to the boss, and then said, "Bring me half a bucket of water, and bring some cups and wine jugs, we brought our own wine." ”

"Okay~!"
