Mingshi

Chapter 1328 Choice
They have never seen such a large city, and they have never seen such a large population in a city, which is unimaginable to them.

Therefore, their first thought at the time was to stay, but they later found that it was not easy to stay here and live a happy life. The people of Ming Dynasty did not accept them, and they looked at them with high eyes. Even civilians are like this.

This lets experienced people know that this is a strong nation and a confident country, otherwise they would not have this mentality.

It made them want to stay here even more, they just never got the chance.When Sharon found them one by one and told them that he had embraced a big golden leg, those ten people immediately exhausted their encumbrances and came to the capital.

When they were down and out, they followed Sha Lang into the Luo Mansion, these ten people were all taken aback.

where is this place?
It used to be Yan Song's mansion, which occupies a vast area and is beautiful. Chinese architecture is different from Western architecture. Western architecture emphasizes ritual, but Chinese architecture is indeed closer to nature, paying attention to conforming to nature and blending with nature. People seem to be very comfortable in their hearts, and they are full of beauty visually.

This is heaven!
Therefore, when they learned from Sha Lang that the reason why Sha Lang was able to stay here was because the owner here, Luo Xin, the Minister of Rites of Daming Third Grade, and today's Southern Economics, needed them to translate Western books.

These people started working immediately, without any urging, it was entirely their own initiative. They had not met Luo Xin yet, because when they arrived in the capital, Luo Xin had already set off for the south.They hope to let Luo Xin see their efforts with the results.

At this time, at the dinner table, apart from Sha Lang, whom Luo Xin already knew, the other ten people introduced themselves in great detail, especially what knowledge they had mastered and what aspect of knowledge they were most proficient in.

Nor can Luo Xin believe whatever you say.Therefore, after everyone introduces me, Luo Xin will chat with them about the scope of knowledge they are proficient in.

Not bad!

In terms of proficiency, Luo Xin is not as good as them, but after all, Luo Xin comes from later generations, with a wide range of knowledge, and many viewpoints are beyond this era.Although Luo Xin also knows some points of view, but this is enough to shock those Westerners.They found that Luo Xin said very little, but every word was on the key point, which was thought-provoking.In fact, Luo Xin didn't dare to say too much, because he was afraid that if he said too much, he would reveal his secrets.

In this way, when the second Westerner introduced himself, he became much more honest.Talking about his abilities in a realistic manner, he was afraid that if he exaggerated himself, Luo Xin would consider him dishonest and drive them out.

Zheng Ruozeng listened at a loss. He could understand what the ten people said, but he was a little confused about the content of the words.For example, the status they once had in the West, and some technical names they talked about.Luo Xin saw Zheng Ruozeng's embarrassment, so he explained it to Zheng Ruozeng in a low voice. Zheng Ruozeng's eyes gradually widened. If it was true, the eleven people in front of him were really remarkable. The country, at the beginning, was equivalent to the great Confucianism in China.

Luo Xin would chat with each person's self-introduction. It seemed casual, but everyone knew that this was Luo Xin's interview. Ten people came down like this. full.

Luo Xin was very satisfied with these ten people, and he raised his glass immediately: "Everyone, for our cause, cheers."

"cheers!"

Sharon's eleven people were also very excited, which showed that Luo Xin accepted them. After tonight, they finally had their own place in this magical land.

The banquet was withdrawn and tea was served.

When Luo Xin told everyone that he was going to promote a book first, everyone became excited.On the one hand, this is to spread the knowledge they are proud of, and on the other hand, it is also an opportunity for them to prove themselves.

"My lord!" Sharon stood up and said, "We brought a lot of books. Although some of them were lost on the road, most of them were preserved by us. When we were in the capital, we had already sorted out a catalog. Your lord Hold on."

Sharon left in a hurry, and soon came back with a booklet, and handed it to Luo Dao with both hands:
"My lord, this is the catalog, which book do you think we should translate first?"

At this time, he could no longer discuss with Sha Lang and the others, but only with Zheng Ruozeng, which was why he invited Zheng Ruozeng.After all, Sharon and the others don't have a deep understanding of Daming, and they can only play the role of translating and imparting knowledge.Luo Xin put his gaze in front of himself and Zheng Ruozeng, the two discussed while reading, and Luo Xin also explained the general content of the book to Zheng Ruozeng based on the table of contents.

Some of the first books listed in the catalog are the most important knowledge that Sharon and others consider, and they are all books on science and technology, including physics, chemistry, machinery, construction, etc.After Luo Xin roughly explained the contents of these books, Zheng Ruozeng said with a wry smile:
"My lord, the content of these books is indeed very remarkable, but they cannot be used as books that open up the situation and are the first to be promoted."

"why?"

"Those scholars will be amazed after reading it, but more will regard them as strange skills. You also know that in our Ming Dynasty, the status of artisans is very low, so it is difficult to get these books about artisans. Promote."

Luo Xin nodded appreciatively. Sure enough, he did not make a mistake in choosing Zheng Ruozeng to help him. This person has a very strong view of the overall situation.His thoughts coincided with Luo Xin.

The two looked down the catalog again, and the second category was books on art, poetry, fine arts and other aspects. Zheng Ruozeng's eyes lit up. This is something that scholars like, and it should be easy to promote.However, after Luo Xin briefly introduced these books, Zheng Ruozeng felt speechless. Poetry is nothing. to the role of promotion.However, nude art is prevalent in other arts, such as fine arts, sculpture, etc. In Daming, if you dare to promote these, you will be beaten to death.

The most important thing is that both of them think that these Western arts only pay attention to their form, not to their spirit, and they fall behind in terms of level. Ming people will only like it for a while, and then throw it aside. To the extent that it caused a sensation, and made the people of Ming Dynasty pay attention to it and study it for reference.

Finally, the two saw the Philosophy category on the catalog.

This made the eyes of both of them light up!
