"I see~ I asked you why you can't see any language or writing other than the Ming script on the streets of Chixia City. It turns out that everyone is trying to obtain a higher level of status."
After listening carefully, Simon suddenly understood.
"This is naturally the case~"
"What's more, the origins of the people in Chixia City are extremely complex. They come from almost all over the world. There are Slavs, Poles, and Hungarians from Eastern Europe, as well as Italians, French, and Portuguese from Western Europe. There are also Arabs, Turks, and Persians who came from the Middle East.¡±
¡°There are also people from Tianzhu who came from Tianzhu, people from Nanyang who came from Nanyang, people from Ming Dynasty who immigrated from Ming Dynasty, Koreans and Japanese people who immigrated from vassal countries, etc.¡±
"We come from different places and originally spoke different languages. It was difficult to communicate with each other, so we naturally chose to use Ming dialect and Ming characters to communicate and communicate." At this time zhuiwe n. org* Zhang Si
There was nothing in the restaurant for the time being, and Jack Chen was chatting with Simon.
"Isn't Chixia City Jewish?"
Simon thought for a while and asked strangely.
No matter where this Jew goes, he is a businessman and a wealthy person. This is true in all European countries. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of Jews here in Chixia City, which is a lot of people, but he has not seen any Jewish property. Churches and the like, when Jack Chen was talking about it, he didn¡¯t mention the Jews.
"Yes, yes, there are many Jews in Chixia City. They seem to be gathered in a small town called Saifati." 46org 读牺
Chen Jack thought for a while and said.
"Sephardi town?"
¡°Are there not some shops started by Jews in Chixia City?¡±
Simon felt very strange and asked again.
"There are some, I guess. I'm not very familiar with them either. Chixia City is too big and there are a lot of various shops."
Chen Jack thought for a while and said.
When Simon heard this, he immediately frowned.
¡°Is it because the rulers of Ningguo did not allow Jews to do business, or did they deliberately impose heavy taxes on the Jews, so the Jews had a very difficult life here.
??According to the practice here in Europe, there must be a large number of Jews doing business in a city, and many of them are very large. Just say it casually, everyone knows it.
But here, he didn¡¯t know about Jewish shops, which was unusual.
We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant. The food of the Ming Dynasty people is indeed delicious, but the chili pepper is a bit unbearable, but Chen Jack said that the people of the Ming Dynasty like to eat spicy food, so everyone here in Chixia City eats spicy food, and For people who go to sea, the sea is very humid, so eating more spicy food can relieve the moisture.
Even if it¡¯s Simon¡¯s first time to eat spicy food, even if it¡¯s spicy, he still has to eat it. When he comes to Daming, he still has a lot to learn.
After eating, Simon and his entourage continued to look for a shop started by the Jews in Chixia City.
However, he ultimately failed. All the stores had big characters and signboards, and no other words or signs could be seen at all.
He tried to go to the bank to ask if the bank owner was Jewish, but was laughed at so much that his teeth almost fell out.
This makes Simon even more confused. You must know that in Europe, the business that Jews often do is loan sharking. In fact, it is similar to the money shops and banks in the Ming Dynasty.
It¡¯s just that now the money banks of the Ming Dynasty have basically been replaced by banks, but those who can afford to open a bank are the top figures of the Ming Dynasty and King Ning.
For example, the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty here in Chixia City is the property of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and many powerful people. There is also Ningguo Bank, which is the property of King Ning. Other than that, other people cannot open a bank at all, because you The funds are simply not enough, and no one trusts you.
Who is this Jew?
The Ming people here don¡¯t even know what Jews are.
There are so many people from all over the world in Chixia City, including Slavs, Arabs, Poles, Persians, etc. Everyone only knows that these people are basically slaves. Only a few people who fought for King Ning are now free. citizen.
¡°What are you telling us about Jews? Are you asking us whether the boss of this bank is a Jew? Aren¡¯t you going to laugh to death?
Simon left the bankLooking at the magnificent bank in front of him, he felt that such an industry was in line with his Jewish identity, but until now, he had not found even a Jewish store.
"This Ningguo is really disappointing~"
"I originally thought that we Jews could get fair treatment here in Ningguo, but now it seems that we must have been targeted, levied heavy taxes, or restricted from engaging in many activities such as business."
Simon was very disappointed.
In his opinion, with the business capabilities of the Jews, even in the cracks in Europe, the Jews can become rich, but here in Ningguo, there is not even a bit of business.
He thought of the many restrictions and measures against Jews in Europe, so he naturally placed them all here in Ningguo.
He didn¡¯t know that the Ming people actually didn¡¯t bother to introduce any policies against the Jews, or impose heavy taxes on the Jews.
In the eyes of the Ming people, there is no difference at all between the Jews and Slavs, Persians, Arabs, etc. They are all white slaves. Even if they are not slaves, in this Ning country, it is still the world of the Ming people, not to mention even you So what if the Jews have some money.
The Ming Dynasty is different from Europeans. Since ancient times, people have focused on getting rich through hard work, rather than plundering other people's wealth. I will envy you if you have money, but I will not target you. I will only work hard to make money to make myself better. rich.
This is the first time for Simon to come to Ningguo. Naturally, he is not familiar with all this. He naturally thinks that targeted policies have been introduced, which is why the Jews here cannot be the same as in Europe. Zhida z.com Zhixiao

¡°He even thinks that the policies here are more severe than those in Europe, and the Ming people are more greedy. Otherwise, with the ability of the Jews, this would never be the case.
Simon was very disappointed.
The letters sent back from the Jews here say that the Jews here live a peaceful and peaceful life and are not treated any differently.
He was very excited when he came. He felt that as long as there was no differential treatment, the Jews would definitely have great potential in Ning State, and even within the system of the powerful Ming Dynasty, the Jews would definitely be able to rise rapidly.
He came to Ningguo with unlimited expectations, but what he saw in Chixia City made him disappointed and felt extremely disappointed.
He even wanted to go back to Europe right away.
Ningguo is even inferior to the Ottoman Empire. In the Ottoman Empire, Jews can become important financial ministers and manage the finances of the Ottoman Sultan.
But here in Ningguo, we can¡¯t even see a Jewish store, which is so disappointing. 强牺 yanmoxuanxiaoshuo.com&# 32读牺This time yan mo*x uan x i ao*shuo*.c o*m Zhang Si
They also talk about freedom of belief. If there is freedom of belief, why can¡¯t we see any churches?
There is no doubt that Ningguo is a country without any freedom at all. Everyone has to follow the Ming Dynasty's set of things, even the Jews, and must give up many traditions.
But he finally decided to visit the small town of Sephardi.
Having already come here, it would only take one or two days to go back. What's more, he still wanted to find these local Jews and ask them personally to find out the situation.
Did Ningguo specifically introduce policies and systems targeting Jews? Otherwise, Jews would never act like this.
"If possible, I would have to rescue the compatriots here and rescue them from the dire straits of Ning Country. Such excessiveness is really terrible.
??Regarding the caste system, these Ming people are born noble?
Are other people inherently inferior to them? Zhida z.com Zhixiao
