Jinling, Catholic Church.

The godfather is still the same godfather, just not at the same time.

In general, although the Western countries in this period have already started the era of great maritime colonization, they still dare not be too arrogant about China, there must be dirtiness, and there must be ambitions, after all, it is definitely not a good thing to start a war with such a big country, not to mention the distance.

The early missionaries made a great contribution to China, and they were kind to others.

Of course, it is impossible for Limad to know Zhou Shaoyu, but for any Ming person who is willing to come here, Limad is willing to receive him warmly, and will never let go of any possibility of developing church members.

Of course, Zhou Shaoyu came to buy a flintlock pistol, don't think about large-scale equipment, but how can I buy more for the girl to defend herself. By the way, they also waited for Liu Ru to come over and have a long experience.

Because he had John Tong's handwritten book in his hand, as well as the Bible, after lying that he was a believer in his own family, and had contact with John Tong and showed some oil painting skills, Limad's enthusiasm rose to a new level.

Don't you just want to buy something, leave it to me!

"What does Yin Niang think of these Western things?" After trying the new batch of hand systems, Zhou Shaoyu was quite satisfied, although the number was small, it was enough for the girls.

"But it's a strange trick." Liu Ru is a matter of course, firearms, the Ming Dynasty is not nothing, in the eyes of today's people, this hand is nothing more than a small one.

"Strange kinky skills?" Zhou Shaoyu smiled confidently as expected and said. "Actually, I've always had a doubt."

Hearing this, Liu Ru immediately looked serious, because every week Shaoyu said this, the meaning was not to say that Zhou Shaoyu couldn't figure it out, but to guide her to think and understand.

"In ancient times, take the Zhou Dynasty, which was most admired by scholars. At that time, people did not know about slash-and-burn farming, they did not know about waterwheels, plough trucks, and manure. There was no papermaking, and there was no printing. At that time, the weapons were all heavy bronze, and there was no saddle for horseback riding, let alone hooves. Let's talk about so much for the time being, what kind of impact does the appearance of these things have on our lives? ”

"This ......" Liu Ru fell into deep thought, and the same was true of the other girls present, even if it was Xiao Qiao, who had already understood.

For future generations, the benefits of science and technology have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one will deny the importance of science and technology. However, after all, this is still an ancient thing, something that later generations could easily understand and take for granted, and in the eyes of the ancients, even if they could accept it, it would take time to think about and understand.

In fact, Zhou Shaoyu doesn't think he is smart, and if he grew up in such an environment, he may not be able to accept or even understand. It's nothing more than relying on the identity of the traverser.

Just when everyone was still silent and pondering, what was surprising was Gu Hengbo's words: "According to this theory, can it be understood that for example, without a loom, it may not be possible to make so many cloth clothes now." Without toolmakers, we don't have so many delicate pieces of jewelry to wear. Even, without smelting skills, the soldiers could not even defend their homes and the country! ”

"Yes, yes." Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows rarely, not only did this girl react quickly, but also rare This guy actually came, originally Zhou Shaoyu also tentatively sent an invitation to Meilou, and did not have any hope, he never thought that he would really come, this is not a charge.

"Brother Zhou, you need to be careful with your words." Liu Ru instantly felt the seriousness of the matter.

According to this theory, it is equivalent to exalting those craftsmen who belong to the lowly class, which sounds absolutely perverse and contrary to the norm in Shilin. Absolutely immediately became the target of a group attack.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here." Zhou Shaoyu waved his hand. "I think you have also thought that if you don't have these strange and obscene skills, let alone anything else, even that tall building can't be built. People started from living in caves with stone tools, and developed step by step, and any part was accompanied by the production of craftsmanship. If there were no papermaking, expensive silk and cumbersome wooden tablets, how many people would be able to read and write today?

Those people always say that they want to teach the people of the world, but what I see is that the shouting is earth-shattering, but in fact it is fooling the people! From ancient times to the present, there are not many such books, taking Qi Min Yaoshu as an example, which describes in detail how to better manage the land and cultivate the land.

However, most of the people are illiterate, but literate scholars look down on such cheap work, if it is not for the word of mouth over time, I don't know how many people are still in the most basic slash-and-burn farming, Rao is so, most of the people in the world plough the land and farm, their skills are still low.

Suppose that if all scholars in the world read this book, and then did not feel ashamed and lowly, and carefully spread it to the people, how much food would be increased in the world? The ancients have made this sentence clear, but how many people have paid attention to it?

To put it more seriously, how majestic my Daming treasure ship was at the beginning, all the countries in the Western Ocean were shocked and admired. However, even shipbuilding skills have been lacking. Think about it, now the people of the West can cross the ocean and cross the sea from thousands of miles away to reach the Ming Dynasty, but what about the Ming Dynasty? It may be harmless today, but if an accident happens, people can attack from the sea anytime and anywhere, but what about us? What else can you do but defend passively?

Counting on the sea master? The little widows on the south coast can't deal with it, so there's nothing else! ”

Words like this happen every day, and every time the concept of a few women is shaken and shaken, and potatoes and corn are used as an example, such a high-yield thing, but there are very few people who cultivate it, why? Because this thing can't be used as a tax, the government doesn't collect it! But if it is promoted, will there still be so many hungry people in the world?

In short, Zhou Shaoyu almost completely repudiated the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhou Shaoyu is also very helpless, to be honest, Zhou Shaoyu is also a pseudo-Ming fan, there are many places that like the Ming Dynasty, but the shortcomings are the shortcomings, in fact, Zhou Shaoyu said a lot of not only the problems of the Ming Dynasty, but the problems of the entire ancient times, no dynasty can be perfect, there will be criticism, but now Zhou Shaoyu focuses on the shortcomings.

There is no way, although Liu Ru is definitely not as loyal and patriotic as Qin Liangyu, and even far behind, but unless he is like Qin Liangyu and happens to be in a place where there is no place in Daming, he can only let Liu Ru disappoint this road.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shaoyu also made a special inquiry, it is said that after the Qin family hid in the stone pillar, his father Qin Kui recognized his righteous daughter and finally married Ma Qiancheng, well, there is no one else with this hand.

With the passage of time, Liu Ru was influenced by Zhou Shaoyu a lot, although he still likes poetry, calligraphy and painting, but he is no longer so obsessed, that is, news came from Hangzhou that the poetry collection has been published and sold, and Liu Ru has never gone back, and he is not concerned at all.

However, she is not interested, it does not mean that others are not interested, as soon as Liu Ruye's poetry collection was sold on the market, it was immediately sought after. Liu Ru is already famous, and although the preparation of the poetry club to raise an uprising to donate money to the imperial court is not publicized by Shilin, this spirit is still recognized, and the scholars are always so contradictory.

In addition, after that poetry meeting, Liu Ru almost disappeared and did not appear in front of people, which is even rarer. So the poetry collection is simply not too easy to sell. But it doesn't have much to do with Liu Ruyi, people don't pay attention to Lao Shizi's fame now, and as for the money, no matter how much she sells, she can't share it. Wang Ruqian is really a good person, and he is a big businessman.

Liu Ru is side is going well, Zhou Shaoyu is also ready to exert force on other girls, Dong Xiaowan's attitude is not known yet, it is best to take Gu Hengbo with him, so that Qin Huai Bayan will be one Ma Xianglan.

Before Zhou Shaoyu could act, there was a little trouble on the other side.

The so-called curiosity kills cats, and women's curiosity is not far from it. At the beginning, I wanted to get close to Zhou Shaoyu, but I took a fancy to Zhou Shaoyu, a big financier, but I could not cover my curiosity if I came and went back a few times.

There are actually not a few famous prostitutes in Jiangnan, but there are only a few top-notch ones, but now Zhou Shaoyu has three by his side, including the most top-notch Liu Ruyi, plus a pair of stunning sisters. Of course, ancient girls will also eat something, but because of the environment, it is not strange for a man to count women. On the contrary, I even think that the more outstanding women stay around, the more it shows that people are brilliant.

In addition, the views discussed by Zhou Shaoyu are also very novel, and they have the intention of establishing a sect, which is quite appetizing for Gu Hengbo, who has always been more pragmatic.

This came and went, but he ran to Zhou Shaoyu's side diligently, and he was very unprofessional.

She is not doing her job properly, those guests in the past are not satisfied, how easy it was to meet in the past, but now it is good, and there may not be a trace of Meilou several times. But in general, it's okay, a sentence of going out to entertain guests, it's not uncommon.

But there is one person who can't accept it, and that is Liu Fang......

As the existence that has the closest relationship with Gu Hengbo and is most likely to hold a beauty, Liu Fang is not less envied, jealous and hated by others, but now it is difficult for him to even want to meet, do you think he will be annoyed!

This guy is a dead brain, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to kill himself when he couldn't get Gu Hengbo in the end.

So he decisively spent a little effort to figure out Gu Hengbo's whereabouts, and finally found Zhou Shaoyu here.

Looking at the angry and questioning boy in front of him, Zhou Shaoyu was happy, like this kind of idiot, Zhou Shaoyu really didn't want to see him, on the one hand, he didn't dare to say a word to his family, and he didn't dare to fight at all. On the other hand, after being completely rejected by Gu Hengbo, he actually went to find a short sight!

Wucao, you have the courage to die, don't you have the courage to say a few more words to your family? It's all brainless.

Presumably, with Gu Hengbo's shrewdness, he was valued not because Liu Fang was so talented, but because Liu Fang had a good background, and the Liu family was considered a wealthy family. In addition, he is also relatively simple-minded, easy to tease and control, if he marries in the future, Gu Hengbo will not have a bad time.

Qinglou women, in fact, there are not so many people who are happy with each other, it is best to like each other, but most of them still make rational choices that are the most prudent and self-interested, after all, no one wants to live a miserable life for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, a few girls went back to the house, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to be seen and recognized.

"Liu Gongzi is still an infatuated character, and he actually found it here." Zhou Shaoyu looked at Liu Fang funny, and even owed a cup of tea. "But before that, why didn't Liu Gongzi go home and ask to see if your family would agree to this?"

"I ...... This ......" Liu Fang hesitated instantly.

Zhou Shaoyu is even funnier, in fact, Gu Hengbo is hiding in the house to watch, as far as Liu Fang's performance is concerned, there is no play.

"It turns out that Liu Gongzi is just a selfish person."

"You're ......!"

"What am I? Is there something wrong? The woman's good years are short, Brother Mei is now nineteen, and she will be twenty in a blink of an eye, she originally belonged to you, and you are still infatuated, but it is only a little difficult, and you don't even dare to retreat if you don't dare to try, if you let Brother Mei wait for you, then when will it be? Are you in charge? How many years after that? At that time, Brother Mei will be old and decrepit, if he is abandoned, how to deal with himself?

Women, what you need is a sense of security, you can't even do the most basic guarantees, why do you want people to love you? Do you still want to use it as an outer room? It turns out that your so-called love is how to practice it to others? ”

"I ...... No, you don't understand ......"

"Don't understand what? It's nothing more than a family style, and you won't answer it? No matter how strict you are, can you still disown your son and kick you out of the house? Don't dare to pursue your own happiness, can't give your beloved woman protection, what kind of face do you have to say anything else, only ask others to pay, but you enjoy it safely, who do you think you are?

Since you can't do it, then let it go as soon as possible, don't go here Rory to show your selfishness and shame, I don't know if there is a kind of love called letting go? Since people can live a better and happier life, you have to hold on to others and let them live a life that they don't know what the future will be. I don't think you're infatuated, it's just your own possessiveness.

It's useless to say more, if Liu Gongzi still wants to have a face, please leave immediately, if you can get the approval of your family, I will sincerely bless you, if not, don't go over and find humiliation! ”

Good guy, it's really not polite at all, Liu Fang left in a hurry, and before leaving, he put down his cruel words, saying that he Liu Fang is not a selfish and cowardly person, and he will definitely go back to fight, and he will definitely come.

Ha, who believes it. Predictably, this guy will definitely be locked up at home for several days and won't be able to come out.

"The prince has driven away a big customer of the concubine, how can he compensate the concubine?" Gu Hengbo, who walked out of the room, had the same expression, and said with a smile.

"Okay, don't pretend, since you were able to choose him in the first place, if you don't have half a favor, I won't believe it. If you are sad, you will be sad, it is nothing for a woman to cry and shed her tears, she can't be reckless, of course, if you treat me as an outsider, just treat me as if I didn't say it. If you really want to compensate, I'll compensate you myself, if you want to ...... it?"

Before he finished speaking, he was already full of incense in his arms, Gu Hengbo whimpered softly, and after a while, the clothes on Zhou Shaoyu's chest were already wet.

It is indeed like what Zhou Shaoyu said, even if he didn't have a good impression at first, but in the end, he got along for two years, at least he had hope, but Liu Fang's performance was really disappointing, Mo looked at the cruel words before leaving, but that was just angry.

If others don't understand, can Gu Hengbo still understand? I'm afraid that as soon as I get home, I will be cowardly immediately, otherwise, Gu Hengbo will not be delayed until he is nineteen years old and has not yet married.
