Chapter 233: Research
Drake especially wanted to slip away while the Guardian Banner Army was not paying attention, so he burned Chang Sheng and fled with Bacon.
What a fucking trade, no trade!
The arrogance in the bones of the Ming Dynasty people from top to bottom is not pretended, in all fairness, Chen Mu's attitude is especially comfortable for the two Englishmen, although he is very domineering.
But his logic is easy for people to figure out, Chen Mu's way of thinking about the problem is 'because I am strong, I suggest, and you will not refuse, because although it is mean to you, it is good', others are different.
The key is that Chen Mu's own social status and power surpass that of everyone in the New World, and he has the qualifications and ability to do anything according to his wishes, which has nothing to do with whether they are English or not.
But what about others?
The county magistrate in the green robe spoke to them almost with his nostrils, and as soon as he said the last three sentences, he frowned and turned his head to the side, raised his hand and elegantly covered his nostrils with his index finger, summoning the servants, what was the most hateful?
He could also smile and say, "It's hot, it's time for you to take a shower." ”
It seems to have great good intentions, what hypocrisy!
If you want to be a normal person in front of you, you have to take a shower twice a day, right? Lao Tzu didn't bathe in England for a year!
Even if the county magistrate is concerned, it seems that he is also a noble person such as a nobleman, but what about the soldiers? The flag soldier wearing a round-crowned helmet with a red tassel on the top of the helmet kept following him with a knife, staring at himself like a thief, and he would be scolded incomprehensibly at the touch of that movement, and his eyes were full of heavy contempt.
What qualifies you as a big soldier to look down on people, huh? Is it because you don't stink? There are three layers of armor inside and three layers of armor covering the sweat, and the clothes are soaked, why don't you stink?
Angry with the individual!
The big-headed soldier also counts, in the end it is the person holding the knife, who looks well-trained, and the distance of every step is the same, and he doesn't care about such a person.
The problem is that everyone is like this, looking down on them from the bottom of their hearts and with good intentions, which hurts Drake's self-esteem so much that he keeps putting on a bad face in anger.
The bacon of the peers is much better, let the bath take a bath, let the eat eat, start without a knife, everything is learned smoothly.
At any other time, he looked like he was wandering into the world, and he begged the military servants for pen and paper, and wrote and drew whatever he wanted, whether it was a picture of the mansion or a few mathematical formulas mixed with crosses that Lao Fu couldn't understand.
"They are very rude, just because they don't have a weird smell, they can use chopsticks to eat, and they live a good life and dress decently and cleanly, so they can look down on people?"
Old Fu's grumbling made Xiao Fu a little unbearable, and he reminded: "They are very polite, give us food, new clothes, and treat them properly, although the material of the clothes may be the most inferior fabrics to them, but in Paris, ordinary people cannot afford to wear such clothes." ”
Drake couldn't deny that, and although he had a stomach full of grumbling to say, the texture of the dress was really good, and even he had been wearing nothing more than a linen white beige shirt in his sleeveless jacket, with embarrassing folds everywhere.
"Compared to them, we are scarcity and unclean, they have countless people, these people have countless pork, chicken, mutton, and so much grain that they might spoil in the warehouse, and I need someone to take me out for a walk these days, if you're not feeling well."
Bacon said to Drake, who looked down to admire the cotton plain mid shirt on his body: "If you are not feeling well, you can wait for me here, I don't need to accompany me." ”
"Oh, Xiao Fu has grown up, 'I don't need to be accompanied', how brave." Drake learned Bacon's words in a strange way, and finally sat down on the couch and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Research, I need to study them."
Why did European missionaries have a more fanatical research mindset than other scholars from all over the world? In fact, this is a good explanation, the starting point of all research is three words - why?
Curiosity and curiosity come first, and then research is initiated.
This question is almost natural to the monks who met the Ming Dynasty: Why did they live better than us?
On the contrary, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have anything difficult to understand about anything other than them, even in the era of firecrackers, when they saw an arquebus that they had never seen, they only needed to look at it to know that it was a kind of gun, nothing special.
There is no curiosity about Europeans, what is curious, why are they so stinky, so poor, so barbaric?
Come on, they deserve their part.
The driving force of progress comes from subjective superiority and objective inferiority.
Just like the Celestial Empire at the end of the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and all social classes frantically followed suit, just for progress, why? Because they should be the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, they see that they are backward in order to reverse the wrong status quo.
It's not just 'I want to live a good life,' it's 'I should have a good life, so I have to do everything I can to live a good life.'"
Now for Bacon, too, he had this confusion in his heart, which was not fully manifested in Europe, and even if there was a difference, it was easy to find the real reason. But in the face of the Ming Dynasty, the real reason is confusing under the fog.
This layer after layer of fog is called unbelief in God.
Like science that is not far off in the future, digging a corner under the strong walls, these theologians did not start studying because they were good at research, but now only nineteen years old Bacon - he just wanted to defend what he had learned in his life.
Whether it is mathematics or philosophy, it is necessary to defend the legitimacy of the existence of Christianity.
Just like Newton in history, he studied physics, the law of the ox, and concluded that before the force of all things began, God kicked and gave the initial force to all things in the world.
"If people know the situation in the Ming Kingdom, they will be surprised, why these heretics, they shouldn't even call them infidels, they don't have the slightest piety, it's strange."
Bacon frowned very seriously: "They shouldn't kill me, at least they don't look so barbaric, I can walk around and study their lives, why they can live like this." ”
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've had research like this, we've had more dangerous times."
Bacon was referring to the war between Europe and the Ottomans, during which countless Christians joined the Ottomans, because during the long period the Ottomans were more imperial, they were all-inclusive, and they absorbed the best culture from it.
Smarter and wiser.
"I think I'm going to get something."
