Chapter 146: Connect with the outside world

"Mom, I want to have a fat family."

Liu Ximing was so amused that he had escaped the bombing and preaching of modern aunts, but he could not escape the ancient old man. It was such a sin.

"Ahem, Mr. Ai, let's not talk about the doctrine for now. I heard that the Jesus is only preaching on the southeast coast, but I didn't expect you to go deep into the hinterland of China."

Ai Ruluo was very patient. After coming to Dameng for so long, he knew that these ideas of the scholars in the Meng Dynasty were deeply rooted and could only rely on God's mercy to slowly influence them. Seeing that Liu Ximing changed the topic, he explained it accordingly.

"It is indeed as you said, in recent years, I and other pastors have been preaching in the Southeast. Although there are occasional disputes, it is generally pretty good. Macau always meets this situation. In order to further promote the cause of God, I plan to expand my missionary activities to your inland. This time I will explore the way first. In the future, more people will come to Sichuan to spread the glory of the Lord."

So that's it. Liu Ximing had thought that the missionaries had already gone deep into Sichuan and other places. After hearing what Ai Ruluo said, he realized that they were just about to open up the inland.

However, he didn't really care how far these missionaries had run. Now he is still a nonsense, so why bother with salty radish? His main purpose is to get close. With such a good start, Ai Ruluo slowly introduced the situation of the Jesus in China.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Liu Ximing pretended to be inadvertently asked: "I heard that Xu Guangqi, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, had translated books such as "Geometric Originals" and "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" with others. I wonder if this is true?"

"Yes, Mr. Xuan Hu is a loyal believer of my Lord. He also has high attainments in mathematics and other aspects."

"I wonder if Mr. Ai has ever collected these books? Liu has been fond of these miscellaneous studies since he was a child. If Mr. Ai is willing to give up, Liu can pay a lot of money to buy it."

Ai Ruluo shook his head helplessly: "This time we came mainly to explore the way, and it is not convenient to bring too many gifts. Mr. Liu has great kindness to us. When I go back, I will find someone to bring it over. As for money and other things, we preachers, just to spread the glory of our Lord, and money will not benefit us at all."

Hehe, it's done, Liu Ximing is very calm. With Ai Ruluo's promise, he has a way to understand external information.

What these missionaries can help him at present is mainly to provide mathematics books and overseas crops such as peppers and potatoes. As for other aspects, to be honest, Liu Ximing still looks down on them a little.

You should know that Europe has only been out of the shadow of the medieval era. The overall worldview is still stuck in the concept of religion as the core in the Middle Ages, and natural science has just entered its infancy, which is not much better than China now.

And the interesting thing is that the East and the West are now in the stage of mutual commercial bragging, and they both feel that their system has big problems, and the other party’s world is the most perfect.

That's why Xu Guangqi and other scholars converted to God

Teach, what kind of thought is that God loves the world and wants to innovate China.

In Europe during this period, China was even a paradise on earth that white-skinned people said. Confucianism was simply the light of mankind. Decades later, Voltaire, the founder of the European Enlightenment, also set up a portrait of Confucius at home and worshiped day and night. Of course, it is hard to say how much Confucianism has to do with the European Enlightenment.

The big thing was decided, and Liu Ximing patiently heard Ai Ruluo boasting about Jesus’ salvation several times, but in the end he couldn’t stand it. You are even more nagging than a retired aunt. He could only find an excuse to say that if you have something tonight, you have to prepare early, so he sent Ai Ruluo and the other five out of the military camp.

However, he still asked the inn where Ai Ruluo and others stayed, and made an appointment to visit him before making a visit.

"Come on, Brother Liu, let's do this bowl again."

"Hahaha, you can't drink it anyway, let this Hong Erzhu compete with you."

As soon as the genius was turned black, Liu Ximing's tent sounded like a boiling sound of boxing and urging him to drink. He Duan and seven or eight middle-level officers were poured into Liu Ximing's second-rate officers, so he simply asked Hong Erzhu to come on stage and get close to these people.

After glanced at Hong Erzhu's grateful eyes, Liu Ximing nodded at him and sat next to He Duan with a wine pot.

Seeing that He Duan was already blushing, Liu Xi ordered a joke and said, "Brother He, it's not possible so soon. Who said that I will be crushed tonight?"

"You, don't be proud, let's drink again after we go back to Shunqing."

Liu Ximing smiled proudly. You can't drink anywhere. Seeing He Duan's dizzy appearance, he said directly: "It's really eye-opening these days. I think the governor is strong here, and I think the army's equipment is sufficient."

He Duan swayed and grabbed a piece of mutton and chewed it in big mouthfuls, and chatted vaguely: "That's natural. At present, the whole Sichuan is counting on us to block the thief outside Sichuan. Who dares to fool things? What do you want now? It's so fucking satisfying. Let me tell you the truth, that is, there is a war now, and we, Qiu Bading, are in front of us, so these shitty civil servants dare not grasp it, and they are fucking their damn dogs."

Liu Ximing was clear about it, and he also complained indignantly: "The world is so chaotic, but it's all because these corrupt officials are plundering the place. Now they want to wipe their butts like all the good men here. I'm really angry when I think about it."

"you do not say……"

At the dinner table, he suddenly became united in the same hatred and pointed at a group of civil servants and scolded him.

Seeing that the preparation was almost done, Liu Ximing sighed and said, "It's really hard to live now. Now our Shunqing Prefecture is also full of war disasters. Several groups of thieves have passed by this year, and there are no garrisons in the mansion. The Master of the Mansion and the Master of the County Prefecture are almost worried. Before leaving, Zhang Fuzun found me and said that the Mansion wants to form some regiments and wants me to help see where to get the weapons. My mother is doing the cloth business. Where to find these, now

I'm worried."

"You kid, are you talking to me?" He Duan slapped the table and angrily looked at Liu Ximing with a look of sobering.

However, before Liu Ximing could think of a word, he turned angry and laughed, hugged Liu Ximing's shoulder and kept slapping, "Hahaha, brother, don't be surprised, brother, I'm just weapons, brother, I'll do this for you."

Liu Ximing showed surprise on his face. The fellow villager was so powerful. He quickly raised his three fingers and made a money rub, and whispered: "Brother is loyal, brother must not be ignored. Don't worry, your brother will be inseparable from that time."

He Duan smiled knowingly and pulled Liu Ximing to continue to join the battle at the table. Everyone in the room looked like I didn't hear anything.

It was probably Liu Ximing's last remark that worked. He Duan sent his personal soldiers to take him to the baggage camp located at the back end of the camp the next day.

When Liu Ximing saw He Duan waiting there early, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I'm sorry, Brother He has been waiting for a long time, and he is rude."

He Duan waved his arm casually and pointed to a round-faced general wearing a half-body waist-length armor, iron winged horns and narrow sleeves in his head, and introduced to Liu Ximing: "This is Peng Yi, a garrison of the baggage battalion. I will tell him directly if you have any needs."

"Peng Shoujie, I have been admiring for a long time, so please take care of me in the future." Liu Ximing bowed his hand first, and finally grabbed Peng Yi's left hand with his right hand and quietly stuffed a sky-blue gem over.

Peng Yi was caught off guard by Liu Ximing's move, but when he turned around and touched the gem in his palm, he immediately smiled happily, hugged Liu Ximing's shoulder and walked into the camp: "Since he is He Guerrilla's brother, then he is naturally my brother Peng. If you go here, you will be interested in anything you like to tell me."

Liu Ximing was not polite. While checking everywhere about Mengjun’s fun, he chatted with He Duan and Peng Yi.

Last time, the inspector Liu Jianhou promised Liu Ximing that he would report a inspectorship position to Yu Yongkai, and the Longxiang regiment could also operate under the official banner, so he specifically asked He Duan for help, mainly because he wanted to get some armor and equipment.

These things can be barely built by themselves, but after all, they are not professional craftsmen and are too time-consuming to build. It is better to go out and use them from the military camp first. Lao Liu is rich now, and it is not a problem to solve them with money.

In addition, after several battles, the Longxiong regiment used almost all the gunpowder stocks, and Liu Ximing also planned to buy some spares here.

Perhaps because of temporary garrison, the baggage camp also used tents to store supplies, which covered a large area of ​​densely packed land.
