There were three missionaries who came at that time.
In addition to Alice, there is a boy named Jeremy, and a little girl named Jeanne.
The church was arranged by Zhu Xuan to be located at the future Sacred Heart Stone Chamber Church. After this period of construction, it has been completed long ago. It is basically a stone structure supplemented by reinforced concrete.
Inside the church, there is a solemn feeling.
Most religious places are like this.
This Western building is completely different from the one in the Ming Dynasty. The church stands here, giving people a very special feeling and uniqueness. It is incompatible with other buildings in the city.
Zhu Xuan led his daughters-in-law here and found that there were not many people in the church. Western culture would definitely not be adapted to the East and would not be easily spread when it came to the East, but those missionaries didn't care.
They can just keep this church here. There are no performance requirements, and they don't necessarily have to spread their sect. Every year Turner's caravan arrives, it will bring them enough money, and they are quite happy living here. of.
Xu Miaojin and the others had seen the church before. They didn't feel it was special when they came here. They just took a few more looks out of curiosity.
"I have met His Highness the Fifth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
When Jeremy saw Zhu Xuan coming, he quickly walked out and bowed.
In Panyu, they learned almost all the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
I have become familiar with the nearby residents and am familiar with everything here. I even learned a lot of Cantonese.
Many people in Panyu call them foreign monks.
"You guys feel okay here?"
Zhu Xuan walked into the church, just wanting to take a casual look around.
After all, he personally brought this new culture back, so it was reasonable to come and see how it was developing.
Jeremy and Alice invited Zhu Xuan to sit down in the church, brought a glass of their unique milk, and carefully placed it in front of Zhu Xuan.
The little girl Jeanne d'Arc, now more graceful and charming, hid behind Alice and looked at Zhu Xuan cautiously. She naturally recognized Zhu Xuan, but she was a little reserved.
"With His Majesty's care, Mr. Xu treats us very well."
Jeremy first said: "Although the missionary work is not very good, the people in Panyu are very enthusiastic. They often call us 'ghost guys', but it still sounds friendly."
After hearing his words, Zhu Xuan and the others smiled.
It seems that Jeremy has blended in here and blended in successfully.
"I'm planning to go to the West in a few days. If you want to go back and have a look, I can take you with me." Zhu Xuan added.
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
But soon, the joy was hidden by them.
It was not convenient for them to go back. They came with a mission. Although Turner did not have any obvious performance requirements, they could not go back without Turner's instructions.
"Forget it."
Alice smiled slightly and said: "It's good for us here, now is not the time to go back."
In this case, Zhu Xuan will not force them.
It can be seen that Turner had a plan when he asked them to come to preach. It should not be as simple as cultural exchange. Maybe it is because they teach in the West and want to open up the situation in the East.
Once this happens and more people believe, Turner can do a lot.
But Jeremy and the others are obviously acclimated, and Zhu Xuan will not let them do this. They are only allowed to preach, not mess around.
In fact, good religions lead people to be good.
As for the methods used to make money, they are all unfair. For example, Turner now, under the guidance of Zhu Xuan, is going further and further down the unfair road.
I don’t know how crazy their churches are in the West right now.
"If you need anything, you can always go to Xu Qi." Zhu Xuan warned.
They expressed gratitude.
Next, Zhu Xuan walked around the church and left the place.
However, when I came out, I could still see a few ordinary people who had nothing to do. They came in to chat with Jeremy and the others, but they were just chatting, not religious.
Jeremy loved to tell them stories, stories from the Bible, or ones from Dante.
Western stories are very novel to Eastern people, and many people are deeply interested in them in a short period of time. However, many mythological stories conflict with Eastern ones.
Occasionally someone would argue with Jeremy.
"This church seems not as bad as the ones in the West."
Xu Miaojin looked back.
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "The original intention of this kind of thing is to give confused people a kind of faith and lead people to do good. As long as it does not exceed this scope, it is actually good."
Cen Hua said softly: "Those in the West have been led astray by His Highness."
What she said makes sense.
Zhu Xuan proposed the indulgence for the first time in the West.
As a result, Turner and others fell into the eyes of money.
"If I don't teach them bad things, Western money will not flow into Ming Dynasty, and how can our people become rich?" Zhu Xuan said disapprovingly.
The original plan to dump goods went very smoothly.
Most of the goods with overcapacity in Ming Dynasty have been absorbed overseas, and there is even a feeling that supply exceeds demand.
"My brother did bad things, but he also did good things."
Mu Yuanjun said softly.
This kind of thing is both good and bad, and it is difficult to judge.
After seeing the church, Zhu Xuan and the others continued to walk around the city, and also visited the West Village Kiln. They saw that the things fired here were no longer enamelware and other porcelain.
Under the guidance of experts from the Science Pavilion, various glass products and fine products have appeared one after another, as well as many handicrafts.
They are all best-selling products exported overseas. I don’t know how much the aristocrats overseas like them.
The industrial chain is like this. When it is promoted, the people of West Village are living better day by day.
"My brother is really great."
Xu Miaojin saw that the prosperous Panyu, and even the villages outside the city, were completely different from the original ones. The people were living a prosperous and contented life. He smiled and said: "When we came here three years ago, Guangzhou Prefecture was not very good. Now all the people are living well." Life has become much better, water conservancy has been completed, roads have been repaired, there is more money, and there is enough food."
The results achieved in less than three years have brought about earth-shaking changes.
Cen Hua agreed: "I remember when I first came to Panyu, it was far less prosperous than it is now."
Zhu Xuan also felt a full sense of accomplishment and said with a smile: "As long as we develop steadily, everything will get better, but I don't know when I will come back next time."
After he becomes the emperor's grandson, he will need to arrange suitable and trustworthy people to take over all business activities here.
Especially the Chamber of Commerce and the Trading Port.
Those who arrange to come here also need to be able to resist temptation.
Otherwise, trading ports and chambers of commerce may not develop, leading to the emergence of corruption.
Wu Yongfeng and others can use and trust each other, but they must restrain each other and reach a balanced state to achieve true trust.
To achieve this, there is a long way to go.
