Liu Peng asked a question keenly: "But among the Thai seafarers in Shanghai, he is the only one who is willing to believe in Bixia Yuanjun?"

"That's true!" Xu Guangqi said embarrassedly: "It's just that although he is a Franciscan country of the Holy Church, he is a standard heresy, and he is not loyal enough to believe in heresy. Se-pair is an untrustworthy person!"

Liu Peng immediately asked: "What is the name of this captain?"

Xu Guangqi did not expect that Liu Peng would decide to adopt this heresy now, and he had to clarify again: "Although Demons's nautical technique is not very good, he requested a high reward, four hundred taels of silver a year, and he also required an equal amount of gold to pay!"

Liu Peng laughed, and he said to the Huang brothers: "Shi Xu, do you think I am a shortage of money?"

Xu Guangqi was a little nervous at first, but when Liu Peng asked this, he also laughed: "But he forgot that Young Master Liu was not short of money!"

The tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and Xu Guangqi began to introduce this heresy to Liu Peng.

This Mr. Demons came to China two years ago. At that time, the missionaries did not know his heresy identity and thought he was also a devout Catholic. Demons also went to the Catholic Church to attend several weeks, so he provided many help in life and work to Demons, and both sides had a very pleasant start.

But soon the preachers discovered that Mr. Desmond was not a Catholic, but a Huguenot from France. It was the mistakes made by Henry IV that these Huguenots are now creating chaos in the whole world, and Mr. Desmond was no exception!

No, the missionary quickly refused to add the word "sir" to his name, but instead called it "that heresy."

Desmond once found a good position as a pilot on a Spanish sailboat through his missionary relationship, but the Spanish quickly complained to the missionary that Desmond was just a pilot who was just a mischievous pilot. When he was positioning at sea, he always made some big mistakes. Moreover, he had never studied astronomy and shipbuilding well at all. He could not even drive sails. He just gave him a chance to learn for the sake of the missionary.

The missionary quickly told the Spanish the truth, so the heretic, Demons, quickly lost the hard-won job and had to wander to Shanghai again to find the next suitable job. Then some further conflicts broke out in Shanghai.

Although Mr. Demons was secretive about his past, his conversations with some Chinese were soon spread to missionaries. The Catholic Church and missionaries only then learned that Mr. Demons had participated in the Netherlands rebellion and killed many devout priest soldiers on the battlefield. He also revealed too many secrets that should not be revealed to the Chinese, and even said many words that attacked the Catholic Church.

For this reason, the two sides had a continuous conflict. Soon, Catholics, including Xu Guangqi, discovered that Demons could not tolerate more things. Although he was a heretic, he was not pious enough to be heretics. When he was with the Chinese, he always over-convenient to the Chinese habits. The Chinese burned incense and worshiped Buddha when they entered the temple. He also followed suit and fell into the evil path of idol worship. Many Chinese gentry with status imposed his evil behavior on Catholics as standard, causing too much trouble for the Jiangnan Catholics.

If there weren't many Europeans operating in Shanghai now, perhaps the Catholic Church had put the plan to deal with Demons by force on the table, but no matter what, the Jiangnan Catholic Church, including Xu Guangqi, hated this Frenchman very much and wanted to expel him.

But Liu Peng and the Huang brothers both embraced the traditional Chinese wisdom of worshiping Buddha: "I don't care what he believes in. As long as the boat can be smooth sailing on the sea, he can help our family make money!"

The Huang brothers immediately gave a burst of praise. Xu Guangqi wanted to warn Liu Peng, but seeing that Liu Peng was extremely excited, he was not disappointed, so he could only say: "Mr. Liu, I still recommend that you be careful of Demons. He is not a particularly trustworthy person. Why don't you hire a more reliable Holy believer? You know, Demons needs 400 taels of silver a year. If you hire a reliable Holy believer, I am willing to pay his first year's remuneration on his behalf!"

Liu Peng laughed: "Shi Xu, I have said that I don't lack money. If I lack anything, then the only thing I lack now is a mountain of gold, which is the world's strange books, and more rare books. I want to gather books from hundreds of schools at home!"

Since Liu Peng said that, Xu Guangqi didn't say anything and immediately shifted the topic to other places. However, he also mentioned Liu Peng's interest at a meeting within the Catholic Church. Someone asked immediately: "Why don't you consider providing him with some books? When Father Kinnige returned to Taisie, wasn't he ready to transport thousands of volumes of Western books to Middle-earth?"

Xu Guangqi immediately replied: "Those thousands of books are the gospels given to the East by the Lord. With his identity as a Xiaocang official in Dengzhou, he is not worthy of these thousands of gospels given to the Lord!"

And Liu Peng had the same question, and Jiang Qingyue didn't understand why Liu Peng refused Xu Guangqi's kindness: "Why did Xu Taishi propose to send someone to Shandong to help us? Brother Liu Peng, you have to refuse. You must know that Xu Taishi is willing to bear the salary for the first year."

Liu Peng gave a similar reply: "Let them come in? They are unwilling to work for me for a hundred years. If they want to come in, it is actually very simple. Come over with thousands of books. Yes, come over with seven thousand books!"
