Chapter 325: Why Trouble Letting You In
Qian Jin thought about it, and watched Wang Dareng hand over a few things to him, he took it, that John Farrell had been controlled, and the things on his body were naturally collected, and the ring and snuff box were naturally in it, the style was very simple, not like a new one, but there was a feeling of meticulous craftsmanship.
Relying on how bloody plunder, the Europeans who basically arrived at the suppression have more or less made a lot of good things on their bodies, even Duke, who has lost all his wealth, also has a gold ring, which is nothing more than along the new route, too many residents who do not know the situation have been plundered by passing Europeans, and basically have made a fortune.
However, this nouveau riche style is ridiculous in front of the elders, and at the same time, the things in this John Farrell are different, and at first glance they are good things that have been passed down from generation to generation in the old-school family.
Qian Jin thought about it and wasn't sure if this was a real guy or not, but it seemed very different.
A well-made painting scroll was picked up, and after Qian Jin opened it, he found that it was a bunch of letters, but the spelling was not in common English, so he really didn't know the point, frowned, turned on his mobile phone, took a picture of these things, and said: "Who will help me see what kind of thing this is, the ghost drawing talisman wants to come to Mengmeng to eat and drink?" ”
After a while, someone immediately replied: "The spelling is Portuguese, and many words are generally Portuguese, although they are also common to English." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Most of them are boasting, what all kinds of noble nobles are called or something, the king of Portugal, appoint the person who holds this instrument as an envoy, to go and inspect the Portuguese colonies in various places, and the officials of all sizes must respect him, well, plenipotentiary."
Qian Jin immediately said: "Isn't this just a fraud, we are not a colony, rely on it." ”
"Don't say it, this kind of document says so much, what God chooses to represent in Portugal is all false, what is real is a representative, well, where did you get it."
"A new foreign devil has come in, I don't know if it's another liar, but what should I do, we don't seem to have appointed any Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Li Xiangqian suddenly interjected: "If it is confirmed, send it to Tang Ruowang first, the eavesdropping device that happened to be installed there has not been used, see what their idea is, well, it stands to reason that it is not realistic to get many embassies in this era, with the faces of these foreigners, it will definitely be regarded as a business inn construction, and there is no need to get too close, there is no need, well, Portugal." ”
Qian Jin immediately asked, "How is it?" ”
Li Xiangqian said: "I used to have a boss, once served as an officer in the army stationed in Macao, as far as he said, although Macao was occupied, but also held the documents legally issued by the imperial court in this era, this era, for the border islands, and still very good at being foreigners, there is really nothing, even from 1949 to 1999, during that period, Macao was also very well mastered by us, the Portuguese mind has long been no longer expanding overseas, at least in this era, the harm is not great." ”
Qian Jin immediately said: "You mean, let's support them?" ”
"How can it be so easy, how to say that it is also a colonial power that eats meat, in case it was originally a little white rabbit, and it was not fun to be teased by us a little and become a bloodthirsty shark, I remember, Portugal was the first country to think of using navigation to fight for interests overseas, although it is basically synonymous with grabbing, and now it is basically honest, but there are still three catties of iron in the broken ship, or look at it first."
Qian Jin nodded and said, "I still don't care about these things, then what you mean is to use Tang Ruowang to deceive this guy." ”
"Recently, John Tong's knowledge of his hometown has been almost drained, and for the European science of this era, just like that, Newton is still young, and his surplus value is not large, so he can use it."
Of course, Qian Jin still ran over in person to appease him for a while, of course, he also communicated through Changshun's interpreter to learn more about it, of course, the quarantine work must still be carried out.
Several people grabbed John Farrell, and in his panic, took some blood, put it on a small piece of paper, shook it, and then looked at the change in color, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Elder Qian, this foreigner is safe." ”
Qian Jin nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Although syphilis and other willow diseases were brought by these Europeans, they really harmed the Europeans themselves first, and a simple and quick way to judge the disease became particularly important, which was also a method that the Presbyterians quickly came up with.
Qian Jin nodded and said, "Okay, send it to the train and send it to the foreign monk temple in the Imperial Capital Cultural Square, it is the foreigner named Tang Ruowang, take a look first." ”
Although he didn't understand the language, Qian Jin was quick with his hands and feet, and after typing out a line of words, he quickly got a response, looked at the letters, and showed them to the foreigner.
John Farrell saw the Chinese in front of him, and suddenly took out an object, but on it was written in small Portuguese letters: obey our orders, take you to meet your people, order your sailors to obey our orders.
Although John Farrell was very interested in this strange phone, he did not dare to ask more.
Ordered the sailors to relax, it seems that this physical examination is also some kind of ritual similar to witchcraft, but it is only a little blood on the finger, he is no longer afraid of this, although countless legends, there are many curses in the East that rely on blood to cast spells, but after all, this is under the government of other people, he is a person who was greatly shocked by the Liaoning, but he is also honest to obey the order.
Qian Jin chatted with the little interpreter for a few words, and found that he was originally a northerner, and he ran to Guangdong to escape the war, but he didn't care, waved his hand and let him go home, and instructed him to operate legally, and the government to protect legal property.
And this John Farrell is also helpless, with a servant, followed by a few soldiers, although muddy, but at this time Tianjin is the most prosperous moment, it can be said that it is the north-south passage, full of people, and the presbyterian building technology, steel products, brick-making machines, and cement factories began to proliferate, brick houses, small buildings gradually increased, the diffusion of this technology still takes time, in this era, unique technology is also regarded as a family heirloom, easy to refuse to teach to the outside world, Even after Wu Dalang learned the skill of steaming steamed buns, he could rely on this technology to raise a two-story small building and marry a wife with the appearance level of a first-line actress, which can be imagined.
Of course, it is not a problem in front of the presbyterian meeting, everyone can build a house, it is nothing more than a massive cost problem, and it is this problem that the machine has changed.
John Farrell seems to have returned to the city of Lisbon, which is the same as Tianjin, it is also a port, there are many people, and even the fishy smell of various seafood is similar, of course, compared to a capital city, Tianjin is not big, but it is already the size of a city.
Although he was curious, he could only follow, and after entering a hall, he was crowded in the flow of people, and people looked at the military men with muskets, and they all gave way, of course, it inevitably caused a burst of chickens and dogs.
The soldiers were given priority to buy tickets, which was the established rule of the Presbyterian Church, and they were quick to carry John Farrell to the waiting carriage.
Of course, there is no whole carriage packaged, one after another, there are many people who began to get on the train, and most of them are carrying things, as a one-step design, the train is only divided into two fares, first class and second class, of course, the first class is only one carriage, most people still sit in a cheap position, although only a short distance, but considering the future, the standard car still has everything, what bathroom, coffee table between the seats, of course, the comfort level is just that.
People who are willing to spend money to take a car into Beijing are not poor in the first place, but the idea of the Chinese being poor and rich is still there, so everyone is a big bag and a small bag, trying to carry everything they can bring, and some people even brought a live old hen in a cage and got on the bus like this.
No way, now the larger chicken farms are still running-in, so the price of chickens in the imperial capital is always getting higher and higher, and you can bring one over and make some money.
John Farrell looked at this strange house, frowned, and actually got these people with him, but when he looked closely, he also felt that he found something that these people should be ordinary civilians in this country, they seemed to be dressed well, and most importantly, they looked good, even better than his compatriots.
This is also natural, but just when I was in doubt, there was a loud noise outside, "Woo woo......
He was startled, but soon, he felt the picture outside the glass window change, constantly changing, and forward, the train started.
"Forgive me, O my lord."
He leaned against the window and almost sat up, but after all, he was already guarded, so naturally there was nothing he could do.
At this time, the common people have long turned a blind eye to the daily train, although at the beginning, there were still a lot of villagers who came to watch, but later, it is not strange, and no one has seen it anymore, there is this time, it is better to hurry to farm and work, inquire about the recent construction site has started again, and hurry up to make a reputation.
However, the view from the train window still stunned John Farrell, which was faster than the horses he had ridden, and he galloped without stopping, and the trees and fields were also busy.
He suddenly shouted at the soldier, "What's the matter, how many horses are marching ahead, it's almost impossible!" ”
His grunting appearance not only made those soldiers nervous, but also made the ordinary people in the car look curious, fortunately, when this era is not yet the 21st century, the scene of women running over and sticking upside down when they see foreigners is just a madman, anyway, there are big-headed soldiers under the elders around them, and no one cares.
In any case, this army is built by the Presbyterian Council with the spirit of the PLA level and the material construction of the American imperialist level, (relatively speaking) the education is not bad, it is tight, and the treatment is also very good, so the probability of harming the common people is not large, this is already the scope of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, of course, due to the tight training tasks in the past days, and many things to take into account, the task of helping the aunt of the five guarantees to carry water is still gone.
John Farrell also knew that he was over, so he could only watch blankly.
The train only takes half an hour to reach the destination, when the train enters the station, those people next to it are not in order, scrambling to start getting off, for fear that they will be late, they also have to carry large bags and small bags, usually one person can occupy the aisle, naturally it is more chaotic, especially the old hen, but also fluttering wings, bringing up huge dust, making the people around cough.
John Farrell didn't pay attention to this kind of chaos, because his hometown was like this when he got on and off the boat.
At this time, he also somewhat understood, this is a means of transportation, although he still doesn't understand its principle, but since the civilians of this country can use it, he can naturally do it, of course, he thinks that in his own capacity, he should dominate a carriage by himself, and he can't stay with civilians, so why don't even know what he is talking about.
After leaving the station, John Farrell saw the person who came to pick him up at first sight, the reason is very simple, the color of the man's hair is very dark, chestnut hair, it is very eye-catching in these crowds, of course, he is wearing a black robe, and he is very familiar at a glance.
"Welcome, I'm almost late, just got here, my name is Andrew, hello."
"My name is John Farrell, and I am a Portuguese baron, and I am very grateful to you, and I can finally hear the voices of civilized people, and the natives are all vulgar and speak their native language, don't you know that learning our language is the only way to get civilized."
Andrew was a little apprehensive, looked around, and said: "Sir, shut up, the city has not been peaceful recently, let's go back quickly, we have nothing to prepare, someone only informed us an hour ago, pick up a compatriot here, it seems that you still don't know much about the situation here." ”
John Farrell immediately nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
It's unrealistic to expect cars to run rampant now, but a variety of six-lane, eight-lane roads have been repaired a lot, and the real horses walking on them are also real horses, of course, dung pockets are standard, and one of the tasks of the patrol is to see the horses that everywhere and detain them directly, the fine is fierce, the carriage is convenient enough, the four-wheeled carriage has no back box, they all sit directly on it, passenger and cargo dual-use, for the presbytery, this kind of excessive thing does not need to pay too much attention, their goal is to use the train remotely, Short distance by bus, private car.
The purpose of these carriages was simple, to meet the transportation needs of the inhabitants in the short term, and to reduce the war potential of the Mongols through the purchase of money, of course, the money could basically be used for various industrial goods directly returned.
