    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    For thousands of years, Shaoxing City has always been green and crystal clear, with white walls and black tiles; stone bridges are flying, and light boats are shuttling.  , The taste of stability, as if it has not changed its rhythm for thousands of years.

    People here enjoy this kind of comfortable life, but they also feel a little boring, and they always feel that they lack some freshness.  But today people will not be bored, because they have encountered something new, to be precise a new person in town.

    As soon as that man appeared in the city, he became the focus of everyone's attention, because his appearance was really different from what people saw in daily life - he was tall and tall, but his clothes were the same as those of Chinese scholars, but his hair was the same as that people used to.  The golden yellow color that has never been seen before, blue eyes, very high nose bridge, very high; deep eye sockets, piercing eyes, this image is indeed something that people have never seen before.

    Everyone gathered around him from a distance, guessing who he is, he must not be from China anyway, but at this moment, something even more strange happened, this blond foreigner actually spoke Chinese,  That amiable and courteous demeanor, like a magnet, suddenly attracted everyone I only heard him say: "Hi everyone, my name is Xavier, from Spain in Europa"

    This person was none other than Xavier. According to the diary disclosed after his death, he slept on the boat overnight, and set off early the next morning after asking the direction of Shaoxing City.  Although it has been a while since I came to Daming, I have only been active in Shanghai, and it is said that Shanghai has only been built for a few years. Of course, it cannot represent the original style of Daming. Therefore, in Xavier¡¯s view, this time is the highlight of his trip to China.  Really start.  So instead of taking a car, I headed towards Shaoxing City step by step.

    Along the way, rice paddies criss-crossed, and Xavier was surprised to find that there was no uncultivated land on both sides of the road.  All the land is neatly divided, with green rice planted on it, and farmers can be seen from time to time, driving tame buffaloes to work in the fields; Spain also uses cattle to plow the land, but the method here is much more ingenious.  A buffalo is pulling a plow, and a man is riding on its back, and a rope is put on the nose of the buffalo, so it is easy to guide the buffalo to move forward according to the man's idea.

    He also saw flocks of geese, tens of thousands of them, being driven into the fields by people. He asked from a distance what they were doing, and he was told that it was to make the geese eat the weeds growing in the rice fields.  Grass, and fish, shrimp and crab roe that harm the rice fields It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone, Xavier couldn't help but praise.

    In the distance of the rice fields, there are orchards and mulberry forests that can't be seen; in the fields, you can also see colorful wild flowers, exuding a pleasant aroma, dotted with layers of green, and birds singing, which is very good  The serene and beautiful scene made Xavier feel extremely happy.

    When he left the scope of Jianhu Lake and stepped onto the flat and wide official road, he saw a different scene. He saw a steady stream of travelers on the road, some on foot, some on horseback, and some on horseback.  In small sedan chairs; besides pedestrians, there are also pack horses and mules on this road, but there are so many people and animals on the road, but the road is not crowded at all, because the road is very wide, and there are more than ten people abreast  Riding, no one hinders anyone, and the ground is paved with big stones, which is flat and easy to walk on; the tall trees on both sides provide shade to protect pedestrians from the sun, and there are many villagers on the side of the road.  Fruits and herbal teas are sold for tourists to quench their thirst.

    Walking, Xavier felt a little thirsty. Seeing a clear spring beside the road, he imitated the people, squatted by the water and picked up a scorpion to taste. The taste was sweet and refreshing, and he couldn't help drinking.  After a pause, when he raised his head, he realized that some people were watching him curiously.

    It was not the first time that Xavier had seen such a scene. He gave those people a friendly smile and introduced himself in pure Ming Mandarin. With these two sharp weapons and his good self-cultivation, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.  , people became kind to him, and gave him fresh melons and fruits to taste. When he wanted to pay, people laughed and said: "What is money or not? If you come all the way to our Daming, you are a guest. Why don't you come here?"  There are people who manage customers asking for money."

    Xavier thought to himself, it turns out that the teachings of Confucius have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the farmers are simply practicing the way of hospitality of "it's not unreasonable to have friends come from afar".

    In the conversation with those people, Xavier heard that roads like this abound in the south. If you go to the north, although there are no such trees, but the width is even worse, it is really amazing.  He was quite surprised. You know, in Madrid, Spain, there is no such wide and flat road. From this point alone, the gap between the two countries is still not small

    And he also told Nan?Write down all the details so that we can go back and analyze the countermeasures.  But when he was walking slowly among them, when someone suddenly spotted this foreigner who was wearing Chinese-style clothes but had a rare appearance, he suddenly exclaimed.

    After a short period of surprise, everyone realized that he was standing next to the statue, looking up at the god with his head up. In the eyes of believers, this was a very disrespectful act. How could he stand in front of Grandpa City God?  It was simply intolerable for everyone.  Then someone shouted: "You barbarian, quickly kneel down and kowtow to Grandpa City God to apologize!"

    Xavier did not expect that he would become the target of public criticism all at once. It was impossible for him to leave at this time, but kneeling before the gods of the heathen was absolutely unacceptable to him. Otherwise, how could he still have the face to call himself the most pious Lord?  Believer?  To spread the gospel of the Lord?

    So he insisted not to kneel, so the two sides stalemate¡ª¡ª

    In order to ensure the authenticity of this chapter, I consulted relevant materials for eight hours, including "Matteo Ricci's Notes on China", Zeng Deshao's "Great Empire Chronicles", Mendoza's "History of the Great Chinese Empire", etc. Xavier's knowledge  , basically without my fabrications and personal play Of course, he will also see the dark side of the empire in the future.  Continue to write, don't wait (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log on to www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
