The fate of writers

Chapter 60 The Sweet Potato That Extended Dayan's Life
The foreigner in black had a cold face and was unhappy, while the man standing behind him had a smiling face.From Jiang Ling's point of view, he could see that he touched him with his elbow, as if he accidentally touched it for a handshake, but judging from the distance, it was mostly intentional.

"Hello, are you here to see a doctor or are you a little confused? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot." He wanted to take back his outstretched hand.

Jiang Ling held it directly and shook it twice: "Hello, my father was a navigator. When he was young, he traveled around the world, was baptized by the Lord, and converted to the Lord. I heard that there is a missionary with noble morals He has crossed the wind, waves and sea to the far east, and preached the gospel of the Lord."

Jiang Ling spoke very slowly, and the black-robed foreigner understood, and his expression eased. His gentle eyes fell on Jiang Ling. He changed his position and pushed another person across from Zhou Zhou.

"Thank you for your praise, and may God bless you. You may call me Hewitt, an evangelizer for the Lord." Hewitt's language was not as fluent as the other.

It was quite uncomfortable for Jiang Ling to hear, she wanted to communicate with him in a foreign language so that he wouldn't have to rack his brains to squeeze out one word after another, and her ears wouldn't have to suffer anymore.It's a pity that she only knows the British language, and this is not the time for this language to take root around the world.

Zhou Zhou felt that Hewitt didn't like him, but he didn't care, and had a good chat with Lance.That's right, Zhou Zhou has already exchanged names with another man.

Hewitt and Lance led the two into the church.From the conversation, the two learned that Hewitt and Lance were both French. Jiang Ling was secretly thankful in his heart that he didn't blurt out the British language. You must know that there was a Hundred Years' War between Britain and France.Wouldn't her approaching strategy be over before it even started?

Jiang Ling looked around and could see three or five poor people wearing brown shorts with multiple patches on their bodies sitting on red lacquer chairs with their heads lowered in prayer.

This kind of spreading power is really scary.

However, Jiang Ling was not surprised. According to Zhou Zhou's description and the information she heard from Hewitt, most of the people who came to the church were people who were forced to have nowhere to go.

When people are about to starve to death, die of illness, and cannot afford to live, with a steamed bun and a bowl of medicine, you can believe whoever you say.

Alive, yes.

You said, aren't the people afraid?Yellow hair, blue eyes, and a different face, how can they not scare ordinary people who have never seen foreigners.It is the desire to live that drives them to seek help.

They received the help of the missionaries, and who can blame the gratitude and the faith of choice that naturally emerged in their hearts?
In the land of Dayan, according to systematic statistics, there are a full [-] million people. The barren cultivated land area and the concentration of land have long been unable to support so many people. This land should have been rewashed long ago. The cards are.It’s just that Dayan was lucky enough to find the sweet potato that Great Zhou had been asking for.The huge yield of sweet potatoes saved the lives of [-] million people, and also gave Dayan a sigh of relief.

To Jiang Ling, the reshuffle of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still too late, but if it is mixed with religion, it will definitely go down.Throughout history, there are gangs that use religion to confuse a group of simple people for their own use. One counts as one, and none of them can last long.

"Mr. Hewitt, I heard that your country is under the control of a group of thugs?" Jiang Ling asked very carefully. She had even thought of an excuse. Sorry, Mr. Hewitt, you know the east is too far away. It's me. The news is too late.

"Yes, those thugs who abandoned the Lord will be punished by the Lord..." Speaking of the thugs, Hewitt can be said to be full of resentment. The thugs claimed to reform the church and adapt to the new regime. France, in fact, is to split the church, and they even want to take back the last bit of the church's power to collect taxes.

The reason why Hewitt left to bring the Lord's gospel to the East was that he really couldn't survive in his own country, so he might as well go to the East and work hard. The golden country described in "Oriental Insights" is really fascinating.

But it was really uncomfortable to cooperate with Lance, a vampire-like businessman.if not……

Jiang Ling listened to what Hewitt said for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on in France.But she knew that the Bourbon dynasty had collapsed, and the bourgeoisie was spiraling up, on the way to mastering the state power.

Bloodshed, revolution, bourgeoisie.

Where is the road to Dayan?Dayan couldn't even suppress the Taiping Rebellion.The two choices in this land are nothing but reincarnation.Two rookies are pecking at each other. No matter who wins or loses, how can they shoulder the future of the nation and the important responsibility of the country?

Jiang Ling began to think that the current situation is still good, but the backward system will definitely make the country farther and farther away from other countries, and fall into the third world, then the country's wealth will attract malicious eyes.

The "Oriental Experience Records" describing the East has become the driving force for navigators to travel far, so what kind of enlightenment will Western books bring to the East?
In Yin County, Jiang Ling did not see any Western books or scholars studying the West.As for Pingbo Mansion, the time she went there was too short, so it’s not clear yet.I only know that she applied for a newspaper, and the format of the fable made even the progressive newspapers timid.

Jiang Ling unconsciously began to twist the pearl bracelet on his left wrist. This country is still sleeping, and I am afraid that it will go on the same road again. Only blood can wake up the arrogant and lazy lion.

"Ginger, Jiang, are you listening?" Hewitt amplified his voice slightly.

"I'm very sorry, I was too absorbed in listening." Jiang Ling apologized so quickly.

Hewitt's slight dissatisfaction was also calmed down by Jiang Ling's sincere attitude.

"Jiang, you are really different. You are the first Yanguo person to listen to me say so much. And I can feel that you really respect us." Hewitt said something similar to Robert.

In this era, the Chinese people's indifference, distrust, contempt and contempt for foreigners are deeply rooted in their bones, so Jiang Ling, who respects everyone, is extremely valuable.

On the other side, Zhou Zhou suffered from an occupational disease. He was telling Lance about Jiang Ling's novel, Qingyun Road.Lance is a businessman, and he is also a bookseller, but the books are really not making money, so he switched to other businesses.Whatever it is, give it a try, if it can make Lance tempted, it would be good to increase some sales.Thousands of miles can also have one more publicity point, and well-known authors at home and abroad are best-selling.

Lance listened very carefully. Although he couldn't understand some of Yan's unique rankings, he could feel the refreshing feeling of upgrading.He thought it was an interesting novel.It's a bit like "The Earl's Revenge".

"I just gave a general idea. If you can read it yourself, you can feel its charm better."

"I think this is a novel that no one can refuse, but unfortunately I can only listen to your story." Lance expressed regret.
