Chapter 233 Research

Drake especially wanted to sneak away while the flag guards were not careful, and burned Changsheng to escape with Bacon.

What a fucking trade, no more!

The arrogance of the Ming Dynasty people from top to bottom is not pretended. To be fair, Chen Mu's attitude is particularly rare for the two Englishmen to feel more comfortable, even though he is very domineering.

But his logic is easy to understand. Chen Mu's way of thinking about the problem is, 'Because I am strong, I suggest, and you will not refuse, because it is mean to you, but it is beneficial.' Others are different.

The key is that Chen Mu's social status and power exceed that of everyone in the New World. He has the qualifications and ability to do anything according to his own wishes, which has nothing to do with whether they are English or not.

But what about others?

The county magistrate in a green robe almost spoke to them with his nostrils. As soon as he said three words, he frowned and turned his head to the side, raised his hand and elegantly blocked his nostrils with his index finger, summoning servants. What is the most hateful thing?

He could still smile and say, "It's hot, it's time for you to take a shower."

It looks like he is very kind, so hypocritical!

I want to be a normal person in front of you, so I have to take a bath twice a day, right? I won’t take a bath in England for a year!

Even if the county magistrate is not, he looks like a noble person with noble status. What about the soldiers? The flag army wearing round eaves and dome helmets and holding red tassels on the top of the roof kept following him with a knife, staring at him like a thief. He would be scolded incomprehensible when touching and moving, and his eyes were filled with deep contempt.

What qualifications do you have to look down on people? Well? Just because you don’t smell bad? The inner and outer three layers of armor are covered with sweat and soaked the clothes. Why do you think you don’t smell bad?

I'm so angry!

Forget it, Big Head Soldiers are the ones holding the knife. They look well-trained and take the same distance every step they take. They don’t care about such people.

The problem is that everyone is like this, and his heartfelt and kind look down on him greatly hurt Drake's self-esteem and made him irritate his face.

The bacon I traveled with was much better. I took a bath when I let it take a bath, and I could eat when I let it take a knife. Everything was learned smoothly.

At any other time, he looked like he was wandering around the sky, and he asked the servants of the military palace for paper and pen. He wrote and painted whatever he thought of, maybe he drew a picture of a house, or maybe he was outlining a few mathematical formulas mixed with crosses that Lao Fu couldn't understand.

"They are very rude, just because they don't have a weird smell, they use chopsticks to eat, and live a good life and are dressed decently and cleanly, so how can they look down on people?"

Lao Fu's complaint made Xiao Fu a little unbearable. He reminded: "They are very polite, and they give us food, new clothes and proper treatment. Although the material of the clothes may be the lowest-quality fabric for them, ordinary people cannot afford such clothing in Paris."

Drake could not deny this. Although he had a lot of complaints, the texture of the outfit was indeed very good. Even he had previously worn a linen white shirt with embarrassing folds everywhere.

"Compared with them, we are scarce and not clean. They have countless people who have countless pork, chicken, lamb, and many grains that may be broken in the warehouse. I need someone to take me out for more walks these days, if you are uncomfortable."

Bacon said to Drake, who looked down at the plain cotton mid laner on his body, “If you are uncomfortable, you can wait for me here, I don’t need to accompany you.”

"Oh, Little Fer is growing up, 'I don't need to accompany you,' how brave." Drake learned Bacon's words sarcastically, and finally sat on the couch and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Study, I need to study them."

Why do European missionaries have a more fanatical research mentality than other scholars around the world? In fact, this is easy to explain. The starting point of all research is three words - why?

First, you must be curious and seek knowledge, and then you will initiate research.

This question is almost natural for monks after meeting the Ming Dynasty: Why do they live better than us?

On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty had nothing difficult to understand about things other than them. Even in the age of muskets, they only needed to take a look at the muskets that they had never seen before. This was a kind of gun and nothing special.

I wouldn't be curious about Europeans, what are they curious about? Why are they so smelly, so poor, and so savage?

Come on, they should be divided.

The driving force for progress comes from subjective superiority and objective inequality.

Just like the Celestial Empire was defeated in the late Qing Dynasty, all social classes were frantically imitating it just for progress. Why? Because they were supposed to be Celestial Empire, they saw that they were backward and reversed the wrong status quo.

It’s not as empty as ‘I want to live a good life’, but ‘I should have a good life, so I have to try my best to live a good life’.

Now for Bacon, he also had this confusion in his heart. This confusion was not fully reflected in Europe. Even if there were differences, it was easy to find the real reason. But when facing the people of the Ming Dynasty, the real reason seemed confusing under the fog.

These layers of fog are called not believing in God.

Like science not far away in the future, a corner was dug up under the solid city walls. These theologians did not start research because of their good research. Bacon, who is only nineteen years old now - he just wanted to defend it with what he learned in his life.

Whether it is mathematics or philosophy, we should defend the legitimacy of Christian existence.

Just like Newton in history, he studied physics and the two laws of Niu and concluded that before the power of all things began, God kicked and gave the initial power of all things in the world.

"If people knew the situation in Ming Dynasty, they would be surprised, why these pagans should not even call them pagans, they have no piety at all."

Bacon frowned very seriously: "They shouldn't kill me, at least they don't look so savage. I can walk around and study their lives and why they can live such a life."

"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've had more dangerous times."

Bacon refers to the war between Europe and the Ottomans. During the long war, countless Christians joined the Ottomans because during the long period of time, the Ottomans seemed more emperorly. They tolerate everything and absorbed excellent culture from it.

Smarter and smarter.

"I think I'll get something."
