Chapter 1541: We Must Develop the Business of House Raiding

It is worthy of being one of the three pillars of Christianity. Seeing that I am not disgusted with Western things, I immediately thought of helping Christianity. Shen Long replied, "If Matteo Ricci, Jin Nige, Guo Jujing and others are willing to spread the word in my Ming Dynasty I will not object to Western science, and I am willing to let Li Zhizao preside over this matter."

Among the missionaries who came to Ming Dynasty during this period, there were quite a few who were extremely accomplished in science. Matteo Ricci could definitely be called a great scientist. Shen Long was also happy to see them spread knowledge.

"But if they want to preach in my Daming, they have to answer me a few questions first." However, Shen Long has another concept for preaching, "I heard that the believers in Taixi respect the Pope. If the power of the King of the Kingdom is not right, then I will ask, between me and that Taixi Pope, who should my followers in Ming Dynasty listen to?"

"Secondly, after Yang Tingyun was supposed to believe in Western religion, there were many troubles in Nanjing. If Matteo Ricci and others were allowed to preach in Daming, Mr. Xu might guarantee that such things would not happen again?" Yang Tingyun, Li Zhizao, and Xu Guangqi joined forces It is called the three pillars of Christianity, and this is Xu Guangqi's friend, and Xu Guangqi also knows these things very well.

"Thirdly, there is quite a disagreement between the ancestor worship and the worship of Confucius and the rules of Western religion. I heard that Long Huamin of the Christian religion opposed the worship of ancestors and Confucius by believers. How will Mr. Xu solve this matter?" Direct rejection may dampen Xu Guangqi's enthusiasm , so Shen Long chose the euphemism.

Xu Guangqi couldn't solve any of these three problems. He didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to have such a deep understanding of Christianity, and each problem hit the nail on the head, especially the first one. Presumably no emperor would allow such a thing to happen.

Seeing that Xu Guangqi became silent, Shen Long did not continue to persecute him, "I believe that Mr. Xu is loyal to me, Daming, but there are foolish men and women who are easy to be deceived, so after Matteo Ricci and others enter Beijing, Mr. Xu can be in Beijing. Build a small chapel at home for Matteo Ricci, Mr. Xu, Li Zhizao and others to pray, but public preaching is prohibited until these three problems are resolved.”

"Old minister obeys the order." Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua bowed and saluted. This answer made them feel a little relieved. It is good that His Majesty did not strictly prohibit it; it seems that His Majesty is very interested in Western learning. If you can start from this aspect, maybe in the future Maybe one day His Majesty will be able to let go, but now Xu Guangqi has become more determined to do a good job in promoting sweet potatoes and other things.

"I've finished reading here. I'll give you a token so that you can enter the palace to study these at any time. Oh, yes, I still have the relevant notes left by the predecessors. Mr. Xu can compare them to study." Shen Long According to the scientific research results of later generations, it has been revised and changed into a language that Xu Guangqi can barely understand. I hope that these agricultural science manuals that have surpassed this era for many years will benefit him a lot.

Hearing this, Sun Yuanhua was a little anxious, why did he only arrange work for the teacher, what about me? Fortunately, Shen Long didn't keep him waiting for long, and soon brought them to the military bureau in charge of ordnance manufacturing, where the muskets and cannons that Shen Long brought from his portable space were placed.

"This is?" Sun Yuanhua is an expert in artillery. As soon as he saw these, he immediately understood that he had a place to use. But when he looked closely at these muskets and cannons, it was quite different from what he had seen in the past.

Since you want to open it, you must open it up. Shen Long is not interested in starting from the turtledove gun. He directly took out the cap gun, which is more than a hundred years ahead of the world, and a bullet, gunpowder, and a metal primer. There are fixed-loaded bombs that are connected into one body, as well as a full set of manufacturing drawings and principle explanations. If Sun Yuanhua still can't handle it with these, then he will disappoint Shen Long too much.

As for the cannon, it is not a clumsy red cannon,

It is the cannons of the Napoleon period, which was also more than a hundred years ahead of this era, from four-pounders, six-pounders to twelve-pounders. The shells are divided into solid shells, grenades and shotguns. There are also a full set of drawings and principle explanations. .

"I know that Chuyang is especially good at making guns. First, I will return to the head of Chuyang's military department to research and manufacture these guns and cannons. Everything I need is supplied by the Bingzhan Bureau. I must make these muskets and cannons for me as soon as possible!" After this thing, Huang Taiji can wash up and sleep, it's nothing to do with you.

"I used to be a bit conceited about making artillery, thinking that even those Taixi artillery masters were nothing more than that, but today I saw the muskets and cannons here, and I realized that I am just a frog at the bottom of the well!" After shooting, Sun Yuanhua threw himself to the ground in admiration. These are much more powerful than the cannons he made in the past.

However, there are real objects, as well as detailed drawings and manuals, Sun Yuanhua is somewhat confident, "I will do my best to make these guns and cannons for Your Majesty!"

Now Xu Guangqi's master and apprentice and Shen Long are all very happy. One side has room to display their talents, and the other side has capable manpower. He not only let these two people make it, but also selected some clever craftsmen from among the craftsmen. Young people, let them study with Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua. After they finish their studies, they can become the backbone of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Industry.

Hey, there are still few available people. Hurry up and summon Li Zhizao to the capital. He is also quite accomplished in astronomy, mathematics, and geography. With the help of Matteo Ricci and others, he can build a university of science. The basic skeleton; oh, by the way, there is also Song Yingxing, this boss should not be forgotten.

According to the information collected from later generations, Shen Long tried his best to gather all the scientists of this period, and planned to build a university for them in the capital to teach them scientific knowledge.

In addition, he also summoned Sun Chengzong back and asked him to continue to supervise the teacher outside the pass. He did not expect Sun Chengzong to solve Huang Taiji, which was obviously beyond the scope of Sun Chengzong's ability, or anyone who came to the land in the northeast, as long as there was someone in the west of Liaoning. Those pig teammates in Jiangmen and the civil servants in the court are holding back. It is only a dream to solve Huang Taiji.

He only hoped that Sun Chengzong could cause Huang Taiji a little trouble and buy himself a little more time.

After Sun Chengzong was sent away, Lu Wenzhao came back after the ransacking of the house was over. He happily reported to Shen Longhui, "Qizou Your Majesty, my ministers confiscated the properties of Wei Zhongxian, Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng and others, accumulatively confiscated gold and silver treasures, amounting to There are millions of taels, and all of them have now been sent to the internal treasury."

"Good job!" Now there is no shortage of money for the time being, hey, it's better to get money from house raids, and we must develop the business of house raids in the future.
