The next day, Qi Yu took a special day off and did not go to the office.
Because early in the morning, Harry sent someone an invitation, saying that he would be invited over to have tea and say goodbye.
Yes, this newly appointed Brother Shengun is going to Shandong Prefecture to preach.
For an overseas missionary, being canonized by the emperor of the country is a very honorable thing, enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life after returning home.
Do you want to say goodbye yourself?
certainly!
This matter was originally my own sacrifice, but how could I ignore it?
Not only do you want to go, but you can’t go empty-handed.
After all, he is considered a "naturalized" official of our court. As a colleague, shouldn't he go and congratulate his new official on taking office?
So, Qi Yu picked a few relatively useless gifts from his small warehouse and brought them over.
As soon as they met, Harry greeted happily: "Dear Mr. Qi, long time no see. You seem to be a little thinner than before. You look stronger like this."
Haha, he is indeed a Chinese expert. Look at how flattering he is!
Qi Yu subconsciously touched his shrinking abdominal muscles and said with a smile, "Really? So, the effect of my recent diet adjustment is pretty good."
"Please sit down!"
"Thank you for sitting down."
Afterwards, Harry happily accepted the gift and then carefully put it away.
It looks like he takes it very seriously.
This was the first official gift he received in the Dafeng Dynasty. It was very memorable, so he paid attention to it.
The two sat down and then served tea.
First, some opening remarks.
Qi Yu first expressed his sincere congratulations to Zuo Zhengyi, the first person promoted by Harry, and the latter also expressed his sincere gratitude to the former for his support.
Yes, Harry now knew that it was Qi Yu who recommended him in front of the emperor.
He claimed to be a Huaxia expert, but he was not completely self-advertising. When San Dezi came over to announce the decree, he took the opportunity to 'mean' it, and thus directly obtained this inside information.
Before leaving, San Dezi specifically told him: Keep it secret!
Harry nodded repeatedly when he heard this and assured God that this matter would never be spread.
San Dezi was stunned: Who is God?
…
The two drank tea and chatted.
Qi Yu put down the tea cup, cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and said with a smile: "Mr. Harry, you must not let down the great trust of our emperor. You must spread the teachings of the Catholic Church to every inch of soil in Qilu."
"That's right, that's right!" Harry responded first, and then said: "Mr. Qi, thank you for your support and help. To be honest, you are the kindest Chinese person I have ever seen. Of course, there is also your Your Majesty, the Emperor of our country, is so broad-minded that he actually asked me, a foreigner, to be his Zuo Zhengyi."
Qi Yu laughed and said, "You're welcome. I won't hide it from you. My biggest shortcoming is that I like to help others. Besides, we are good friends, so why don't I help?" And you?"
Harry sighed, crossed himself on his chest again, and said piously: "Kind Mr. Qi, God will bless you!"
"..."
After complimenting each other, the conversation gets to the point.
Harry believed that it was a great gift that the Dafeng court could openly support his preaching. Unexpectedly, he was given an official title. In this way, the Catholic Church was given official legitimacy.
This is extremely precious!
As for preaching in the chaotic Shandong Mansion, is that considered a problem?
You know, he traveled thousands of miles to come to China, and the ups and downs on the way were not only countless hardships, but even more difficult than Xuanzang's journey to learn Buddhist scriptures!
What kind of spirit is this?
This is an absolute perseverance that can endure hardship and is not afraid of death!
Go to Shandong Prefecture to preach?
Nothing to fear!
Regardless of the general environment, from a personal perspective, being able to preach in the Imperial Worship Cult fulfilled his wish.
why?
In the past, because of his carelessness, he was poached by the Emperor Worship Cult. Now that he has the opportunity to poach him back, wouldn't it be a very satisfying thing?
Qi Yu was stunned: Can the godfather be so sinister?
Although Harry was passionate, he was still a little worried. He was afraid that his influence was not enough and he would not be able to defeat Ge Qiu's group.
There is a proverb in China that says a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. He still understands this simple truth.
Influence?
What's this?
Can it be understood as deception?
Probably... almost.
Qi Yu thought for a while and then began to offer his advice: "To tell you the truth, the tricks the Emperor Worship Cult does to open a forum look very realistic, but in fact they are all just deceptive tricks and are not true."
"I know those are all fake, but I'm at a disadvantage if I can't figure out the mystery." Harry nodded without comment, and added: "If I have the ability to expose them, I can take the opportunity to discredit them. The image of their church is very beneficial to me."
Qi Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "This is not difficult, I have an idea."
"What's the idea?"
"Ahem, you might as well go to the shops more, you will definitely gain a lot."
"..."
According to Qi Yu's intention, he wanted Harry to go around the streets and alleys of the capital to find those folk buskers, and then use them to find the secret to cracking the magic trick.
It does work.
The capital is different from other places in that there are a large number of folk artists from all religions and professions gathered here. You can even pay them to help you perform the dance.
It seems like...
Qi Yu also told Harry that there is no need to worry about whether others are willing to teach you. As long as the chips you throw out are big enough, what information can you not get?
"We have an old saying in China, which is that sincerity is the result of gold and stone."
"Is that so? Why do I feel a little awkward?"
…
Putting aside these insignificant arguments, Harry accepted Qi Yu's opinions and suggestions humbly.
Don't underestimate these deceptive tricks. This is a must-learn guide for self-cultivation.
Moreover, the results come quickly and are very convincing.
Therefore, we can learn from it.
Speaking of lying, Harry seemed a little hesitant: "Lying... This is somewhat contrary to the teachings of our Catholic Church, and it's not good!"
Qi Yu said, "If you don't do this, you won't be able to fight against Ge Qiu, and you won't even be able to receive a good believer."
Harry shook his head and sighed: "But I still want to spread the word slowly in my own way, and don't want to do anything to cheat."
Why is this damn guy so stupid?
Take it easy?
You can wait, but the emperor and I can't wait!
Qi Yu grinded his teeth in disappointment and sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, a crow flew past the window.
Guagua~~
Qi Yu's mind suddenly flashed, and he pointed at it hurriedly and said, "Mr. Harry, have you seen that bird?"
Harry nodded solemnly and said, "I saw it. It was a crow. You Chinese people like to call it an old bird. If you let me see it, are you hinting to me that this trip may not go well?"
Qi Yu coughed awkwardly and said, "No, I just wanted to use it as an analogy."
"Okay, then you say it."
"Suppose we both want to eat this bird. You like to steam it, and I like to boil it. In fact, this kind of argument is meaningless. No matter how you eat it, you have to eat it. Let’s knock it down first, and then we can discuss how to eat it.”
Harry was confused, but he could only nod.
Qi Yu added: "This is the same as when you went to Qilu to preach. The premise is that you have to win over the believers first. After they all come to your bowl, you can then consider what kind of indoctrination you should instill in them. doctrine. And in this process of winning over, you must use some means, otherwise, who will believe you?"
Harry thought for a while and suddenly said: "You mean, I want to deceive them first, and then let them believe in God. Is that what you mean?"
Qi Yu laughed and said, "You are such a smart man, you can understand it as soon as you explain it."
Harry hummed and said, "You are an expert in Taoism and have wider knowledge than me. I trust your inference."
