Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1590, disappointing

"So that's how it is~ I said why the streets and alleys of Chixia City can't see any language and characters other than Ming characters. It turns out that everyone is trying to obtain a higher-level identity."

After listening carefully, Simon suddenly realized.

"This is naturally so~"

"What's more, the origin of the people in Chixia City is extremely complicated, almost from all over the world, including Slavs, Poles, and Hungarians from Eastern Europe, and Italians, French, and Portuguese from Western Europe. And Arabs, Turks, Persians from the Middle East.”

"There are also Tianzhu people from Tianzhu, Nanyang people from Nanyang, Ming people who immigrated from Daming, Koreans and Japanese who immigrated from vassal states, etc."

"Everyone comes from different places and originally spoke different languages. It is difficult to communicate with each other. Naturally, they will choose to communicate and communicate in Daming dialect and Ming characters."

There was nothing in the restaurant for the time being, and Chen Jieke also chatted with Simon.

"Isn't Chixia City Jewish?"

Simon thought for a while and asked strangely.

No matter where the Jews go, they are all businessmen and rich people. This is the case in all European countries. Besides, there are tens of thousands of Jews here in Chixia City, which is quite a number, but I have not seen the Jewish property, Churches and the like, the Jews were not mentioned when listening to Jack Chen.

"Yes, yes, there are still many Jews in Chixia City. They seem to gather in a small town called Safati."

Jack Chen thought for a while and said.

"Safati town?"

"Aren't there any shops started by Jews in Chixia City?"

Simon felt very strange and asked again.

"There are some, I'm not very familiar with them, Chixia City is too big, there are many kinds of shops and so on."

Jack Chen thought for a while and said.

When Simon heard this, he frowned immediately.

Could it be that the rulers of Ningguo did not allow Jews to do business, or did they deliberately levy heavy taxes on Jews, so the Jews had a hard time living here.

According to the practice in Europe, there must be a large number of Jews doing business in a city, and many of them are doing big business. Just to put it bluntly, everyone knows it.

But here, it was unusual for him not to know about Jewish shops.

I ate a delicious meal in the restaurant. The food of Daming people is really delicious, but the chili is a bit unbearable, but Chen Jieke said that Daming people like spicy food, so everyone here in Chixia City eats spicy food, and Those who go out to sea have a lot of humidity in the sea, and eating more spicy food can expel moisture.

Even if it is the first time for Simon to eat spicy food, he still has to eat it. When he comes to Daming, he still has a lot to learn.

After eating, Simon took his entourage and continued to look for shops started by Jews in Chixia City.

However, he ended in failure. All the shops were hung with big Ming characters and signboards, and no other words and signs could be seen at all.

He tried to go to the bank and ask if the boss of the bank was Jewish, but he was laughed so hard that his teeth almost fell out.

This made Simon even more confused. You must know that in Europe, the business that Jews often do is the business of usury, which is actually similar to the money houses and banks in Daming.

It's just that now Daming's banks are basically replaced by banks, but those who can afford to open banks are the top figures in Daming and King Ning.

For example, the Daming First Bank here in Chixia City is the property of the Son of Heaven and many dignitaries, and the Ningguo Bank is the property of King Ning. Other than that, no one else can open a bank because you Your funds are simply not enough, and people don't trust you.

Who is this Jew?

The Ming people here don't know anything about Jews.

There are so many people from all over the world in Chixia City, such as Slavs, Arabs, Poles, Persians, etc. Everyone only knows that these people are basically slaves, and only a few people who fought for King Ning are now free. citizen.

You told us about Jews, and you also said whether the boss of this bank is a Jew, isn’t this laughable?

Simon walked out of the bank's gate and looked at the magnificent bank in front of him. He felt that such an industry was in line with his Jewish identity, but until now, he hadn't even found a Jewish store.

"This country of Ning is really disappointing~"

"I originally thought that we Jews could get fair treatment here in Ningguo, but now it seems that we must have been targeted, heavily taxed, or restricted from engaging in business and many other activities."

Simon was very disappointed.

In his opinion, with the business ability of the Jews, even in the cracks like Europe, the Jews can become rich, but here in Ningguo, there is no business at all.

He thought of the many restrictions and measures against Jews in Europe, so he put all of them in Ningguo as a matter of course.

He didn't know that the people of Daming actually didn't want to introduce any policies against the Jews, or impose heavy taxes on the Jews.

In the eyes of the Ming people, there is no difference between the Jews and the Slavs, Persians, Arabs, etc. They are all white slaves. Even if they are not slaves, in this Ning country, it is also the world of the Ming people, let alone you So what if the Jews have some money.

Daming people are different from Europeans. Since ancient times, they have paid attention to getting rich through hard work, not by plundering other people's wealth. I will envy you if you have money, but I will not target you. I will only work hard to earn money to make myself better. rich.

This is the first time for Simon to come to Ningguo, so he is not familiar with all of this. He takes it for granted that targeted policies have been introduced, which is why the Jews here cannot be the same as those in Europe.

He even thought that the policies here were stricter than those in Europe, and the people of Ming Dynasty were more greedy. Otherwise, with the ability of the Jews, it would definitely not be like this.

Simon was very disappointed.

The letters sent back from the Jews here said that the Jews here lived a peaceful and peaceful life without any discrimination.

He was very excited when he came, and felt that as long as there was no differential treatment, the Jews would definitely have a great future in Ningguo, and even within the powerful empire system of Ming Dynasty, the Jews would certainly be able to rise rapidly.

He came to Ningguo with infinite expectations, and what he saw in Chixia City disappointed him, and he was extremely disappointed.

He even wanted to go back to Europe right away.

Ningguo is not even as good as the Ottoman Empire. In the Ottoman Empire, Jews can become important finance ministers and manage the finances for the Ottoman Sultan.

But here in Ningguo, there is not even a shop opened by a Jew, which is very disappointing.

What about freedom of belief? If there is freedom of belief, why can't I see any churches.

There is no doubt that Ningguo is a country without any freedom at all, and everyone has to follow the Ming people's set of things, even the Jews, who have to give up many traditions.

But he finally decided to visit the small town of Safati.

He has come here, and it will take a day or two to go back, not to mention that he still wants to find these local Jews and ask them personally to find out the situation.

Did Ningguo specifically introduce policies and systems targeting the Jews, otherwise the Jews would never do this.

If it is possible, I would like to rescue the compatriots here, and rescue them from the torment of Ningguo. This kind of excess is really terrible.

Returning the caste system, is this Daming born noble?
Others are inherently inferior to them?
