Chapter 359 You Should Throw Him Overboard
"Oh, thank you for your kindness."

John bowed down to express his gratitude, and then said with regret: "If those damned Jews hadn't poisoned us, I think we would have wiped out those French bastards long ago!!"

Zuo Fu pretended to be suspicious: "What do you mean?"

"Your Excellency, do you know about the Black Death?"

Zuo Fu shook his head, pretending to be at a loss and said: "What is the Black Death?"

"Oh my God! That's a terrible disease! It's a curse the Jews have put on us, a persecution of us Catholics! The first time it broke out in Europe, someone caught poisoning the Jews! These dogs Damn bastards! They are so cruel! It was not enough to vote once, and they poisoned again in Italy more than ten years ago..."

Zuo Fu listened carefully, but sneered in his heart.

Because of suspicion, more than [-] Jews were massacred?You don’t take a bath, and the Jewish people pay attention to personal hygiene and clean environment, so they are less sick; they live in remote areas, but you live in the city, and the ground is full of sewage and feces. This is really a good place to raise rats.

There are more mice, and there are more places for fleas to live, so that mice-fleas-people, oh, damn it!This is really a perfect way to kill!

"But there are also many people who say..."

John glanced at Zuofu, and said cautiously: "It's from you, because the Mongols at that time threw sick soldiers into the city of Kaffa."

Zuofu nodded, "I think you and I probably know what illness you are talking about."

She thought for a while, and said: "I have seen historical records that in our Song Dynasty, the Mongols also used the same method in some battles. The infected people will have black spots on their bodies. We think it may be brought by rats. That's why we call it the plague."

"Bringing a mouse? Oh no, it's a cat, my dear Vaughn. You know, it's a vile animal."

Zuofu shook his head, "No, our historical records will not be wrong, it was brought by mice, and cats will catch mice."

Believe it or not is up to you, anyway, I have kindly told you.Too many of you are going to die, and my sea trade business is not easy to do, and you may infect your own people.Besides, it was precisely because of the large population decline in Europe this time that they took the road of capital intensity, thus opening the door to modernization.

So, tell him this now, maybe when the plague breaks out in London, he will tell others, try it?Of course, some plagues are mediated by rat fleas, but some plagues are transmitted through breathing and air, so I have to tell him about this too.

"Dear John, our Ming Dynasty's medical skills are very developed, especially in recent years. We have been able to cure many diseases that could not be cured before, and invented many special medicines. This is the result of our ancestors' records.

I can tell you responsibly that such diseases have happened many times in our history, but none of them caused too many casualties.Do you know why?Because in the face of the plague, we have a set of mature and perfect practices.

We will cover our mouths and noses with a cloth, isolate those who are sick in a certain area, and conduct a second isolation for those who have been in contact with them. We will not release them until ten days later when there is no sign of illness.And the things and clothes they use will be burned.

And those who died in quarantine, we burn their bodies.You have to know that this is very inhumane in our civilization.But in the face of countless lives, we can only sacrifice these poor people, burn their bodies, and bury their ashes deep.The people involved in the rescue must also be quarantined until they are out of danger and can come out without signs of illness.

Dear John, you should believe in the wisdom of our Daming people.We are a country with thousands of years of inheritance, and these experiences have been explored for thousands of years.You should probably take this to heart, it might save your life someday. "

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Duke."

John saluted, "Thank you for your generosity and kindness, I will remember your words."

John is very sincere. Although it sounds a little unbelievable, it is always right to remember this. After all, this is the golden country. They created silk and porcelain, so the medical skills are not bad.

A group of people did not get in the car, and walked back to the Yamen.Along the way, John kept looking. His eyes were like a scanning machine, scanning all the shops he passed by.

There seem to be very few shops here, but since this guy invited me here, he can always give me satisfactory goods, right?
Along the way, many children followed behind him, laughing and pointing, some people even muttered, wanting to touch his nose to see if it is true, why is it so big?
Listening to Chef Wang's translation, Zuo Fu couldn't help laughing.I feel that these little guys are the cutest in the world, their brains are always surprisingly big, and they are very cute.

John didn't know what Zuofer was laughing at, but he could feel that it was related to himself.To Mingren's curious gaze, he was actually used to it these days.Moreover, he also guessed that Zuo Fu's laughter just now should be related to himself.

What are you just laughing at?

He asked curiously, Zuo Fu told him the questions of the little friends, and then said: "Sorry, John, they didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just, you know, we really look different."

John scratched his head in some distress, and said, "Oh, are you talking about the nose again? God, why do you always pay attention to my nose, my eyes, and my hair..."

Zuo Fu chuckled, and said, "Don't worry, my friend. My servants have already rode back to my office, and my chef is already preparing the meals. In our Daming, it's best to invite someone to a family dinner The highest etiquette, please don't refuse."

"Oh, my dear Vaughn, how could I refuse your invitation? It's a great honor."

What should a seder at the Duke's house look like?
John thought about it.But soon, he couldn't be happy.

Because, as an Englishman, their king stopped paying tribute to the Holy See in the last century, and stipulated that the Church of England regards the king as the supreme head of the Church of England and established the Church of England as the state religion.

But now the person sitting at the table with him is a person from the Holy See, and the direct look at him made him very uncomfortable.Because that look is like when they look at heretics, with secret rejection, contempt, and even resentment...

He sat up straight, trying to keep a decent smile on his face.He's here to represent Great Britain, and he can't lose face and let the priest laugh at him.

But the priest didn't seem to intend to give him face. The usually gentle Ayurius suddenly turned into a wild cat with teeth and claws. He said angrily: "My lord, you have brought back a devil! The British are all despicable thieves." , robber, traitor! You should throw him into the sea, he will bring bad luck!!"

　I don’t know why, there are more and more pieces, and I don’t have time to write during the day, and it’s already after 8:[-] when I sit down to code every day.
