Chapter 363 Outsiders

As the supreme emperor, he should naturally have the privileges of the emperor. And privilege, just like class, will always exist as long as there are people in this world.

Hundreds of years later, the slogans are loud and clear, but anyone with a mature mind will know what the essence of society is.

There are always shepherds and there are always sheep. The sheep are always fed.

They can't all be shepherds, that would be no different than all being sheep. They can't all be sheep, otherwise who will lead whom?

It's just a draft. As a characteristic of this era, it has its own meaning. As a man, an emperor with an extremely powerful physique and whose qi and blood turn into rainbows and are as solid as a substance, he cannot be satisfied by just a few women.

Even though true spiritual numbers can be used to enhance a woman's physique, there is a limit. Be it Zheng Ziniang, Chen Yuanyuan, or Li Xiangjun, their bodies have now reached the limit of their potential, and they cannot continue to add points with true spiritual numbers. It can only be slowly strengthened by smelting the aperture. But even if they perfected all the acupoints that could be opened, they would still be worlds apart from Ying Yi.

It can be said that most of the 700,000 to 800,000 people on the Humanity List are outstanding figures of this era. However, the one with the strongest physical potential has a limit of only 9 points. With such a limit potential, the number of acupuncture points that can be opened does not exceed a thousand. Even if the smelting is complete, the physical attribute can only increase to about 15 at most.

And Ying Yi now has all attributes of 20.

The difference is not 5, but 2 to the fifth power.

Who is this person with a physical potential of 9? She is Li Xiangjun's maid, Li Shuang'er, and one of the concubines in the harem today.

Speaking of people's physical potential, most of them are not very different. Most of the 700,000 to 800,000 people on the list have their physical limits at the number 7 or 8. A very few of them only have 6s, and the only one with 9s is Li Shuang'er.

On the contrary, the potential limits of the souls are quite different. The lowest ones are only 3 and 4, and the highest ones have hundreds of people all on the number 9. Among them, the Yuanqi Palace accounts for the majority - in fact, those who can embark on the path of monks are those with strong innate soul potential, otherwise they will not be able to get started.

There are also a number of civil servants in the DPRK who have good potential, such as Zheng Yunzhi and Song Yingxing. Sun Wen, on the other hand, has only 7 soul potential.

There are even fewer in the army, about twenty or thirty people.

That's a long way to go.

Ying Yi is not an ascetic, he is a normal man with his own needs. As for the draft, so many dynasties have done this for so many years, why can't he?

If we say that the emperors of past dynasties selected thousands of beautiful women and put them in the palace for viewing only, they would suffer a lot. Then Ying Yi will definitely not do it here.

Of course, Ying Yi definitely doesn't need that much.

He smiled and said, "A hundred beautiful girls are enough, but there will be more trouble."

Zheng Yunzhi said: "But it depends on His Majesty's wishes."

He was relieved too. Since Ying Yi agreed, his marriage to Zi Niang was a certainty.

As Zi Niang's father, Zheng Yunzhi's heart was relieved.

At this time, Song Yingxing on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in his prime, and a wedding in the draft is inevitable."

Then he said: "Wei Chen, there is also a matter here, but please make your decision, Your Majesty."

"oh?"

Ying Yi smiled and said, "What's wrong with Song Qing?"

Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away. I have interacted with missionaries from the West. Since your Majesty recruited me to join the court, missionaries Tang Ruowang and Ai Julius from the capital have visited many times, begging me to come to your Majesty." Recommendation. However, I know that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. The missionaries from the West are extremely rebellious and immoral. I know that Your Majesty does not want to see you, so I have always refused."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Song Qing was right to refuse. They are not from my race. The missionaries from Taipei and Western Europe are called missionaries, but they are actually aggression. Invading ideological civilization and being the advance guard of their troops is suspected of being elaborate. Now there are many secrets in the empire. , must not be acquired by aliens.”

Song Yingxing bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Although I admire the Taixi people's research on objects, I will not forget the righteousness of the race. Today, your Majesty talked about poison and Nanyang affairs, and I remembered the Taixi missionary."

Ying Yi smiled and said: "I have had ministers recommend me before, but I ignored them. Now I can meet them. If Tang Ruowang and Ai Julius ask you for recommendation again, you will accept it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tang Ruowang, Ai Julius and others, it is not that Ying Yi has not heard about it. For example, Tang Ruowang, like Matteo Ricci who had returned to the embrace of their Lord, had heard about Ying Yi before he crossed over, and was a famous person in the history books.

During the Chongzhen period, Tang Ruowang came to China. In the early days of missionary work in the coastal areas of Guangdong, the Catholic Church was unpopular because it prohibited people from worshiping their ancestors, and the missionary work was difficult. So Tang Ruowang and others changed their minds and followed the route Matteo Ricci had taken, planning to start from the top. So he went to Jiangning and met celebrities from the previous dynasty. Later, when he arrived in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen also met him personally.

Even the only church in the capital was built during that period.

If there was no Ying Yi, according to the original historical trend, Tang Ruowang would have become the guest of the so-called "one emperor through the ages" Kang Mazi.

However, after Ying Yi's demise and the Ming Dynasty occupied the capital, the turmoil between the old and the new made Tang Ruowang and other European and Western missionaries feel the crisis. Originally, I wanted to use some contacts from the previous dynasty to meet Ying Yi early and then fool him, so as to gain a foothold in the new dynasty. But unfortunately, Ying Yi didn't see them at all.

When the country was founded and an edict was issued to denounce cults, they were implicated. The only Catholic church in the capital was sealed, missionaries were kicked out of the church, and preaching was banned.

In the past six months, Tang Ruowang and others have been running around, begging their father to sue their aunt, looking for ways, and trying their best to meet Ying Yi, but to no avail.

Ying Yi's occasional mention of his dislike of the Western barbarians made the ministers dare not open the door to Tang Ruowang and other Western missionaries.

As a result, these missionaries lived in extreme poverty—not financially, but spiritually. The missionaries were very rich and had no worries about food and drink. But compared to the courtesy he received during the previous dynasty, he is now like a beggar.

There is a church and I can’t go back, I can’t preach, I’m totally helpless.

Under their noses, this huge empire, which had been founded to worship heaven and arouse humanistic visions, gradually revealed an existence that shocked them to the point of numbness.

No one could believe that a newly established empire would take on such a powerful new look in such a short period of time.

In fact, at this time, the Western barbarians regarded the Eastern Empire highly enough and treated it cautiously - they had suffered losses.

It is the era of great navigation and colonization that has passed the initial stage and entered a deeper era. What are the methods used by the Western barbarians? Missionaries went first and found many excuses to promote military operations in the name of missionary work. Once defeated, colonization is at hand.

The previous Ming Dynasty was not without its encounters, but the defeat of Xiyi in the Battle of Luowan Sea and Zheng Zhilong's capture of part of Taiwan made them no longer dare to underestimate this big empire in the East.

For example, on the eve of the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the Portuguese were all expelled from Macau by Zhou Li's troops. When they occupied the small island of Macau, to be honest, it was not because their army defeated the Ming court, but because they bribed Guangdong officials with money. The Ming court allowed it. What the Ming court allowed was only trade, but locally it was a lease of islands. Speaking of which, I'm afraid even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't know about this.

If Daxia was weak, then missionaries like Tang Ruowang would not beg their father to sue their aunt, but would let the army of the country behind them come over.

He's just a robber, what can he say?
