Chapter 916 Research
Drake wanted to sneak away while the guards were not paying attention, so he set Chang Sheng on fire and fled with Bacon.

What a fucking trade, no more trade!

The arrogance of the people of the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom was not pretended. In all fairness, Chen Mu's attitude especially made the two Englishmen feel more comfortable, even though he was very domineering.

But his logic is easy for people to understand. Chen Mu's way of thinking about problems is 'because I am strong, so I suggest, and you will not refuse, because although it is mean to you, it is good for you', others are different.

The key point is that Chen Mu's social status and power surpass that of all people 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 green robes almost spoke to them with his nostrils. He frowned and turned his head to the side as soon as he said the last three words, raised his hand gracefully to cover his nostrils with his index finger, and summoned servants.

He can still say with a smile: "It's hot, you should take a bath."

It seems that there is still great goodwill, how hypocritical!
I want to be a normal person in front of you, so I have to take a shower twice a day, right?I didn't take a bath in England for a year, okay!

Forget about the county magistrate, he seems to be a person of noble status, so what about the soldiers?The Banner Army, wearing a round eaves helmet with red tassels tied on top, has been following him with his knife, staring at him like guarding a thief. Every touch and every movement will be reprimanded incomprehensibly. There is a strong contempt in it.

What right do you have to look down on people, huh?Just because you don't stink?The three layers of armor on the inside and the three layers of armor on the outside soaked the clothes with sweat. Why do you think you don't stink?
Pissed off!

Forget about the big soldier, after all, it is the person holding the knife. He seems to be well-trained, and every step he takes is the same distance. Don't care about such a person.

The problem is that everyone is like this, looking down from the heart and with good intentions, which hurts Drake's ego so much that he keeps putting on an angry face.

The bacon in the same company is much better. You can take a bath when you are asked to take a bath, eat when you are asked to eat, and start without a knife. Everything is learned smoothly.

At any other time, he looks like he is wandering away, and asks the servants of the military mansion for paper and pens, and writes and draws whatever comes to mind, maybe drawing a picture of the house, or sketching a few old friends to see. I don't understand the mathematical formula mixed with the cross.

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

Old Fu's full of complaints made Xiao Fu a little unbearable. He reminded: "They are very polite, give us food, new clothes and treat us well. Although the material of the clothes may be the most inferior fabric for them, they are in In Paris, ordinary people cannot afford such clothes."

Drake couldn't deny that, although he had a lot to complain about, but the texture of the clothes was really good. Even he had only worn a linen white and beige shirt under the sleeveless jacket before, everywhere. Show embarrassing wrinkles.

"Compared to them, we are poor and unclean. They have countless people. These people have countless pork, chicken, mutton, and so much grain that they may go bad in the warehouse. These days I I need someone to take me out for a walk more, if you're not feeling well."

Bacon said to Drake who bowed his head to appreciate the pure cotton singlet on his body: "If you are not feeling well, you can wait for me here, I don't need to accompany you."

"Oh, Xiao Fu has grown up, 'I don't need to be accompanied', how brave." Drake imitated Bacon's words in a strange way, and finally sat on the couch and asked: "What are you going to do?"

"Research, I need to study them."

Why do European missionaries have a more fanatical research mentality than scholars from other parts of the world?In fact, this is easy to explain. The starting point of all research is three words-why?
Be curious and curious first, then initiate research.

This question is almost natural to the monks after seeing the people of the Ming Dynasty: Why do they live better than us?
On the contrary, the people of the Ming Dynasty had nothing difficult to understand about things other than them. Even in the era of firecrackers, when they saw an arquebus they had never seen before, they only needed to take a look at it to know that it was a kind of blunderbuss, nothing special.

I don't even have any curiosity about Europeans, why are they so smelly, poor, and barbaric?

Come on, they deserve their share.

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

Just like the Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty was defeated, all social classes followed suit crazily, just for the sake of progress, why?Because they are supposed to be the kingdom of heaven, but they see that they are backward, so as to reverse the wrong status quo.

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

For Bacon now, he also has this kind of confusion in his heart. This kind of confusion was not fully reflected in Europe. Even if there is a difference, it is easy to find the real reason.But when facing the people of the Ming Dynasty, the real reason appeared confusing under the heavy fog.

This layer upon layer of fog is called unbelief.

Like the science that will appear in the near future, dig a corner under the strong city wall, and these theologians did not start researching because they are good at research, and now only 19-year-old Bacon-he just wants to use what he has learned in his life to defend .

Whether it is mathematics or philosophy, to defend the legitimacy of the existence of Christianity.

Just like Newton in history, he studied physics and Niu's second law, and came to the conclusion that before the power of all things began, God kicked and gave everything in the world the initial power.

"If people know the situation in the Ming Dynasty, they will be surprised. Why are these heretics? They shouldn't even be called heretics. They don't have the slightest piety, which is very strange."

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

"Don't worry, it's not the first time a study like this has been done, and we've been through more dangerous times before."

Bacon was referring to the war between Europe and the Ottomans. During the long war, countless Christians joined the Ottomans, because the Ottomans appeared to be more imperial in a long time. They tolerated everything and absorbed excellent culture from it.

Smarter and wiser.

"I thought, I'm going to get something."

　Good morning!
