"British? You go back and meet him and bring him over and say I want to meet him." Zhang Rui said.
Although Zhang Rui didn't know much about Britain. But Zhang Rui has heard the name "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" countless times.
The mainland of Great Britain is nothing more than an island country, so its population and resources cannot rival China. Now that I have traveled back in time, as long as the anti-Qing movement succeeds, the title of "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" will definitely not belong to it.
Du Mu didn't understand why Zhang Rui wanted to look at those Hongyi. He guessed that Zhang Rui wanted to take a look because he had never seen these people before. Since Zhang Rui gave the order, what reason did Du Mu have to say no?
next morning
The sky is clear and the sun is shining down on the earth, bringing a rare warmth to the cold weather.
At this time, Zhang Rui in the Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi had just finished processing the documents sent over when he heard the guard report to Du Mu asking for an audience.
Fortunately, after Zhang Rui captured Guangzhou, many anti-Qing scholars came to join him. Otherwise, Zhang Rui would be busy with all the trivial matters in such a large territory.
Since ancient times, it has been said that "the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts", it is undeniable that reading is a way out. But it was not so easy to become a Manchu official. In addition to gaining fame and fame, money can also be spent on various relationships.
Otherwise, even if you are admitted to the top of the imperial examination and have no money to support you, you can only receive a simple salary from the Hanlin Academy.
After all, others can buy an official position with money, but it is really difficult to get it.
It is also true that Zhang Rui had just conquered Guangdong Province and many scholars came to ask about the imperial examination. Zhang Rui's answer of course is yes, but time is too short for the time being and it won't start until next year.
Zhang Rui's affirmation reassured many scholars.
Zhang Rui did not dare to stop the imperial examination. The reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty accelerated its defeat was that it stopped the imperial examination and stopped opening it. Now that the talents have not been cultivated, Zhang Ruike does not dare to offend these scholars and end their hopes.
Under the guidance of the guards, Du Mu brought the ship owner David Weir in to meet Zhang Rui.
Du Mu bowed to Zhang Rui and saluted, and pointed out that he introduced David Weir and the translator David hired at a high price from Macau. This translator is also a Han Chinese named Liu Yande.
Since Du Mu didn't speak English, and David Weill didn't understand much Chinese, this translation was indispensable.
Both David Will and Liu Yande were surprised that Du Mu just bowed and saluted to Zhang Rui. Before coming to meet Zhang Rui, David Weir also learned about Chinese etiquette. He also had a general idea of kneeling down in the East, and he even thought about kneeling down in order to sell those muskets.
Especially when he knew that the people he was doing business with at this time were the country's "rebels", strictly speaking, the "rebels."
When David Will saw Du Mu like this, he didn't think about kneeling but gave Zhang Rui a gentleman's salute. In his opinion, if the "anti-military" leader really wanted to pursue him, he could just "pretend to be stupid."
Although Liu Yande lives in Macau, he often needs to deal with officials here, so he understands the principle of kneeling.
However, just after Liu Yande knelt down, Zhang Rui asked him to stand up and stop kneeling down.
Although Liu Yande didn't understand Zhang Rui's approach, he did feel better than ever before.
Zhang Rui saw David Weir's gentlemanly courtesy and had no objection. After all, he was not like Qianlong, who had to force others to kneel down.
"are you english? what's your name?" Zhang Rui looked at David Will and asked.
David Will asked in surprise.
You must know that Britain at this time was still an empire that would not later become king and hegemon, so there were not as many people who knew English as they knew French. But how could he not be surprised that a "rebel" leader could actually speak English?
In fact, not only David Weir was surprised, but also everyone present was surprised. Knowing what they knew, Zhang Rui had never even been to Datong Village before, so how could he know these words of Fanyi?
"will be a little" Zhang Rui replied.
(I'm sorry, I can't make up the time. I still have to wait a while to make up for it. Please come back and check it out later. It will take about an hour. Thank you!)
However, just after Liu Yande knelt down, Zhang Rui asked him to stand up and stop kneeling down.
