Li Feng, who was wearing official clothes, looked at the Jews in front of him. They were not much different from the white slaves in his family's plantation. Of course, it was said that Europeans could easily identify the Jews.
"According to the decree of His Highness Prince Ning, the entire Ning Kingdom must welcome the New Year, all towns must hang lanterns, and every household must post Spring Festival couplets."
¡°In addition, every small town must hire teachers, set up academies, and learn Chinese culture and etiquette. Every small town must use the Ming Dynasty script and language.¡±
Li Feng said seriously to Brown and the Jews around him.
Hearing Li Feng¡¯s words, Brown and others were slightly relieved but also frowned.
It¡¯s not asking for money from them, nor is it blackmailing them, nor is it restricting their actions and careers, etc.
You must know that in Europe, basically every country stipulates that Jews cannot own land, engage in certain professions, own slaves, have litigation rights, etc. Therefore, most Jews can only rely on their own crafts or business. Make ends meet.
This is why it is said that most Jews are businessmen and appear to be very shrewd. In fact, they were forced out because no matter how rich they are, they cannot own a piece of land of their own. Piggy bank, whenever there is a need or necessity, they will come and loot the Jews.
When they came to Ningguo, they were finally assigned a piece of land of their own. Every Jew could not help but kneel down and kiss the land.
It is really not easy. For thousands of years, they have wandered around the world and never had a piece of land of their own, but now they have it.
They are afraid of losing this land, although now it seems that this land is still very barren and has nothing to do with fertile farmland.
But this is the first piece of land they have owned in thousands of years.
They are also afraid that these Ming dynasties will come to blackmail them like Europeans, and they are afraid of being targeted.
But this worry is obviously somewhat unnecessary. In the eyes of the people of Ming Dynasty, they are no different from white slaves at this moment, except that they are not slaves, but legal citizens of Ningguo.
"Sir, we are willing to abide by the will of His Highness Prince Ning and abide by the laws of Ning Kingdom~"
"But please forgive me for asking, does this decree apply to all small towns?"
Brown and the Jews around him exchanged glances.
The Jews are the most stubborn people. No matter where they go, they always maintain their own things. This is one of the reasons why they have been rejected by Europeans.
When they arrived in Ningguo, they naturally hoped to continue to maintain their own characteristics and traditions, but this was Ningguo after all. Learning the language and writing of the Ming people was necessary and necessary for survival, and it did not violate Jewish teachings and Tradition.
But hanging lanterns and pasting couplets are the customs of the Ming Dynasty people during the Spring Festival, which makes these Jews very repulsive. They don't think about the Spring Festival, even though the whole Ningguo is now getting excited about the Spring Festival.
In some nearby towns and plantations, you can see festive red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, etc. everywhere. Red Ming people think it is festive, but for Jews, they don¡¯t like red.
But this is the will of King Ning of Ning State. Not to mention that they are new here, even if they have established a firm foothold here, they cannot violate it. Only after they came here did they truly realize the power and vastness of Ning State.
Ningguo has a huge territory in both Tianzhu and African continents. Ningguo¡¯s annual fiscal revenue exceeds five million taels of silver, and the food produced every year is enough to feed tens of millions of people.
¡°A country like this is definitely a strong power in Europe.
However, Ningguo is just a vassal state under the great Ming Empire. Compared with the great Ming Empire, Ningguo is simply insignificant.
There is no way to disobey it, so you can only obey it, but Brown still wants to know whether this edict is aimed at the Jews.
¡°Nonsense, of course all towns must comply.¡±
When Li Feng heard this, he said coldly, then he got on his horse, turned around, and quickly left the small town of Saifati.
"Mr. Brown, what should we do?"
As soon as Li Feng left, the surrounding Jews gathered around Brown one after another, with anxious eyes in their eyes.
"Don't be anxious or worried~"
"According toThe Ming Dynasty's words are not very good, but they all refer to the people of the Ming Dynasty. They also use the currency of the Ming Dynasty for buying and selling things, such as silver dollars, silver notes, and copper coins.
Although it can be seen at a glance that they are not from the Ming Dynasty, the influence of the Ming Empire is everywhere. Almost everyone, no matter where they come from, must learn from the Ming Dynasty in everything, including all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Brown was looking at the people around him, and the people around him looked at Brown, Frank and Barani with some surprise.
"Whose white slave is this coming out alone?"
¡°You¡¯re still wearing the clothes of a European barbarian, and you¡¯re not even giving up your clothes to give the slave a few changes?¡±
"You are still wearing a hat on this hot day, isn't it hot?"
"Yes, I haven't cut my hair or shaved my beard. The smell on my body is so strong that I probably didn't even use soap in the shower."
"Their master is really stingy!"
"That's right, that's right~" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
