Chapter 131 I want to learn a foreign language
Zhu Hetong really likes reading!
He was a top student in his previous life! Otherwise, how could he get from Chaoshan to go to Beijing to go to university? Moreover, his alma mater was still the focus of 211... He did not have a "985" when he was in college, but later his alma mater was also named "985".
Such a big academic master is also "high-tech" after starting his own business. He always needs to continue to learn and improve - if you can imitate, others can imitate it, and everyone is constantly improving. Can you not learn?
Moreover, Zhu Heying has always created a "craftsman spirit" that is more legitimate than the genuine one, so he has never stopped self-study since he entered the industry... However, as a "school master", he cannot understand such a lot of books now.
Because those books are written in Latin. Zhu Hetian’s English is very good and can communicate with foreign buyers in English without any barriers. After making money by making high imitations, he paid a high price to hire a "personal teacher" to teach himself Ukrainian, but he didn’t know how to speak Latin.
"All of them are Latin?" Standing inside the library, looking at a bookshelf with large Latin titles, Zhu Hezang couldn't help but frown, "No English or Russian?"
English? Russian?
Luo Wenzhao shook his head, "No... Prince, the academic works on the Western side are written in Latin, and the diplomatic language is also Latin."
"Oh," Zhu Heying was not disappointed, and smiled, "Okay, I'll just learn it. Does anyone have the best Latin language?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a silver bell-like female voice saying, "I! My Latin is very good, and my Chinese is also very good!"
"Really?" Zhu Heying did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked Luo Wenzao, "Biss Luo, how is this Latin and Chinese language like this Miss Bei?"
Luo Wenzao thought seriously and then replied: "The prince, Miss Bei has high Latin and Chinese skills. You can't find anyone more proficient in Latin than her in Macau. Cooperating with her Chinese can be enough to be your Latin teacher."
What this said... the group of "old Red Hats" around them blushed! It is possible to say that their Chinese is not as good as Bei Jiaxin, but how could their Latin language be worse than this little girl?
They all studied Latin in Portugal, Spain, and Yidaili since childhood. Would they not be as good as a mixed-race girl from Macau?
Moreover, no matter how good Be Jiaxin's Chinese is, it cannot surpass Luo Wenzha! Luo Wenzha was able to serve as a Chinese professor at St. Paul's Theological Seminary. He was not only proficient in Chinese, but also proficient in Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and was also responsible for translating religious books in Latin into Chinese.
How can Bei Jiaxin compare the level of such a great translator?
However, based on Zhu Heting's experience in learning Ukrainian in his previous life, a cute young lady was indeed more efficient than a gray-bearded old man and could stimulate students' interest in learning.
Anyway, it takes him much faster to master Ukrainian than to learn English!
Out of love for learning, Zhu Hegui immediately made the right choice between Luo Wenzao and Bei Jiaxin.
"Miss Bei," Zhu Heying smiled, "Then you just be an orphan tutor!"
Tutor...or the one who lives in the home!
"Okay!" Bei Jiaxin, who looked at her a little naive, nodded and smiled, "It's just a tutor!"
"Of course, it's just a tutor!" Zhu Heying agreed, but thought to himself: "Da Boling can also be considered my tutor, right? I don't know if she can accept me to hire a new tutor? I have to explain to her carefully... Sister Ling is so reasonable and will definitely understand me."
Thinking of this, Zhu Heying smiled and said to Luo Wenzao: "Bishop Luo, I think you know who is the real master of Macau now, right?"
As soon as Zhu Hezang's words came out, the atmosphere in the library of St. Paul's Cathedral suddenly became tense.
He now claims to be the "real master of Macau", of course... This is also a fact! Macau is not the land of the Portuguese Kingdom, but was occupied by the Portuguese colonists with shameless face and dark hearts.
As the legal heir to the Ming Dynasty's imperial power, Zhu Hezang certainly has the right to reclaim the land occupied by the Portuguese Kingdom. Moreover, he has successfully taken back Macau and has defeated the Portuguese defenders. Governor Rotoni and Bishop San Paul even fled in panic without the courage to fight the final decisive battle.
In Western words, Zhu Hezang has won the "Divine Will Judgment" against Portugal - the victory or defeat of the war represents the Divine Will!
Therefore, Zhu Hezang’s power over Macau is both legal and divine intent, and it is indisputable!
But Zhu Hetian now particularly emphasized his indisputable power over Macau, which is to turn Macau Portuguese colonists, including soldiers, merchants, Catholic clergy, etc. into the status of "illegal entrants" and "illegal occupants".
Because the rights of these people are all dependent on the status of the Kingdom of Portugal in Macau... If the status of the Kingdom of Portugal in Macau is illegal and unwilling to God's will, then everything they have now will naturally be "illegal" and should be confiscated!
Zhu Heying pressed the hilt of the sword with his hands, and looked at the foreigners and semi-foreigners in the library with bright eyes. The fake foreigners were all the leading figures in Macau. Except for Bei Jiaxin, everyone was as depressed.
Zhu Heying thought to himself: "They probably thought the lonely family would expel them? They thought so beautifully! If you all run away, who will the lonely family exploit? Now is not the late Ming Dynasty. After the Ming and Qing War and the coastal migration, the Han maritime merchants have been greatly damaged, and even the Zheng family in Taiwan cannot produce many merchant ships..."
However, Zhu Heying will not reveal his trump card immediately now!
So he is still a conservative and stubborn scholar and doctor who does not need Western tricks and tricks!
Thinking of this, Zhu Heying said in a deep tone: "Although you did not occupy Macau, you live here illegally, engaged in trade worthless to our country of China, and spreading Catholicism that is not in line with Chinese etiquette..."
"Criminal Master," Belo, who had just given his daughter to Zhu Heying as a tutor, thought he had some say. Taking advantage of the moment when Prince Zhu's voice paused, he interrupted: "Trade is by no means worthless. It can at least bring you the most advanced Western firearms, which will be of great help to your anti-Qing and restoring Ming cause!"
When Luo Wenzao saw Belo speak, he quickly followed: "Criminal Lord, the teachings of God encourage people to be good and teach people to be polite, which is very consistent with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in China. Even the late emperor of the Wei Temple praised it very much."
Zhu Heying smiled coldly: "I have the thunder method taught by Zhuge Wuhou in China, which is not available in the West and is several times more powerful than the West and is the only one. Why do you need Western firearms in your family?
As for the teachings of Catholicism, since they are in line with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, then I have the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in China, so why do I need Christ Jesus? Besides, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are not passed down in the Western countries that hold Catholicism as the state religion! I cannot go, why did he come? If he does not tolerate me, how can I tolerate him?"
Is this going to close the country and strictly prohibit Catholicism?
Luo Wenzao and Belo's faces turned pale. They saw that Zhu Hetong was very interested in Latin books and Bejiaxin, thinking that he was an "enlightened" Eastern feudal monarch. Now they discovered that this guy was a real "original Confucian warrior" and a primitive Confucian scholar who wanted to defend the Confucian Taoism with swords and grenade hammers!
Zhu Hezhang said in a deep voice: "All Portuguese, parents and heirs of mixed-race Portuguese families in Macau must stay in St. Paul's Cathedral as hostages until the original Grand Secretary's Council makes a decision!
Other Portuguese, mixed-race Portuguese and their wives, concubines and slaves must leave the fort before tonight. Without the approval of the Prince's Mansion, no entry into St. Paul's Castle is allowed!
All the Catholic clergy are concentrated in St. Paul's Theological Seminary, waiting for the decision of the original Confucian Grand Secretary's Conference!"
Speaking of this, he paused and turned his eyes to the pale-faced Luo Wenzha and Belo, "Biography Luo, Belo, I now appoint you two as the elders of the Portuguese Macau and the mixed-race Portuguese to manage their civil affairs and religious affairs. You and your family can take their own actions in all parts of Macau, but they are not allowed to leave Macau."
Luo Wenzhao and Belo looked at each other, then bowed to Zhu Hetong together, "I am willing to serve you."
Zhu Heying had no expression on his face and did not say anything to these two people anymore. He just nodded to Bei Jiaxin and said, "Teacher, do you know how to go to the Governor's Mansion?"
"I know..." Bei Jiaxin answered timidly.
Zhu Hezang said to Qiu Rong who followed him into the city again, Lin Ahu: "Brother Rong, your people guard the outer city! Ahu, you are responsible for the defense of the inner city of the fort.
