- Simon came to the small town of Saifati and looked at everything here, full of intimacy, as if a wanderer who had been wandering for many years finally returned to his mother's arms.
"It seems to be pretty good."
Simon looked at the small town of Saifati in front of him. Everything looked very good, the roads were neatly planned, and the areas were dotted.
The streets are neat and clean, and carefree children can be seen playing and playing everywhere, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.
"Gentlemen, may I ask what business you have come to our Sephardi town?"
Brown, who was strolling leisurely in the town, saw Simon and the others, and he also stepped forward and asked politely, using Ming dialect.
"Is this the Sephardi town?"
Simon saluted the old man Brown in front of him in Jewish language and way and asked.
¡°Are you a Jew too?¡±
Brown looked at the other person carefully and immediately recognized him. He must also be Jewish.
¡°Yes, I am a Jew too, I came here from France.¡±
Simon nodded, and then took out his own certificates, including certificates from the Jewish Church, and letters and certificates from Jewish organizations.
Brown read these certificates carefully, asked some questions that only Jews knew, confirmed Simon's identity, and immediately said happily: "My people, welcome to Sephardi~"
Brown opened his arms and gave him a warm hug.
"Come, come, drink tea~"
Brown enthusiastically took Simon and his party to his home, made hot tea and entertained them warmly.
"Drink tea~"
Simon looked at the scalding tea and was slightly startled.
Drinking tea is not popular in Europe. Tea is an expensive luxury product from the East. Only nobles and truly wealthy people can afford it. Although the Jews are rich, they have always been very stingy and stingy because they are wandering. He is famous for not being willing to drink tea.
What¡¯s more, making tea requires boiling water, which is very troublesome.
Picking up the teacup, imitating Brown's example, he took a sip and the aroma of tea entered his throat. It was slightly bitter at first, but then a sweetness continued to reverberate.
¡°It¡¯s really good~¡±
Simon nodded slightly. No wonder this tea quickly became popular among the upper class in Europe. Drinking tea is indeed a kind of enjoyment.
"The situation in Europe is turbulent, and a war is about to break out~"
"France, England, Portugal and Spain are at war with each other and the situation is tense. They are all disguised as pirates and are constantly fighting, plundering merchant ships and seaports on both sides."
¡°The cloud of war has enveloped Europe, and our Jewish life in Europe has become even more difficult. There are a lot of things that exclude us Jews everywhere.¡±
"So I was recommended by everyone to come to Ningguo to inspect and see if Ningguo is suitable for us Jews to immigrate and settle down."
After some pleasantries, Simon also explained his purpose.
The situation in Europe is turbulent, and the situation of the Jews has become extremely difficult. They are looking for new ways out and places to migrate.
"What do you think of Ning Guo's journey?"
Brown did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically,
¡°The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, a unified language, writing and currency, and it also had huge influence all over the world.¡±
¡°I originally thought that Ming Dynasty must be very suitable for doing business.¡±
¡°But after I came here, I discovered that we Jews seemed to be excluded, suppressed and targeted. I didn¡¯t even see any Jewish property in Chixia City.¡±
Simon expressed his inner thoughts.
"It's actually not what you think."
¡°On the contrary, we Jews have not been suppressed or targeted in any way here. Have you seen these lands outside?¡±
"These lands are our Jewish lands. This is something we have never had in Europe, but here, we can have our own land like everyone else."
"The taxes we pay are the same as others. They are not deliberately targeted. We don't need to pay extra taxes. The taxes here are very low."
Brown smiled?Finally living a stable life. "
¡°If there are tribesmen who want to come here, I think it¡¯s okay. Everything here is very free. There is no conflict between our beliefs and those of the Ming people.¡±
"People in the Ming Dynasty do not believe in gods, but they fear heaven. They are grateful to their ancestors and feel that everything they have now is the blessing and blessing of their ancestors. Therefore, on important days, they have to worship their ancestors and worship heaven."

Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "what is that?"
"I don't understand either. It's probably a general term for the nature of the universe."
¡°That¡¯s really a strange nation~ They don¡¯t believe in God and they don¡¯t have their own beliefs.¡±
"No, they have their own beliefs, they just don't believe in religion, so they can lead the world in all aspects and become the most powerful country in the world."
