    The story about Egger as a missionary is actually very simple. Brother and sister Egger and Juliana grew up in a peasant family in rural France. Their original life trajectory was for Egger to become a farmer, and Juliana to marry a farmer and have children!

    But when the Eggers were teenagers, an old missionary from Spain changed their lives. The respectable old missionary taught the Eggers how to read and write, as well as noble etiquette and superb swordsmanship!

    Learning these things was a very happy thing for the Egger brothers and sisters, at least for Egger. It was precisely because the old missionary opened a door to the new world for him, and made Egger  This farmer's son has ideals beyond his class!

    Of course, what this ideal brings is not a good thing, because the old missionary not only taught Egger knowledge and swordsmanship, but also gave him a noble personality. But as we all know, a noble personality does not exist anywhere.  Popular, especially in a place like Paris!

    So it took Egger nearly ten years to finally become the laughing stock of Paris. Those nobles who were stupider and clumsier than Egger laughed at him for not knowing his capabilities, and easily took away from him the position and credit that should belong to him!

    And those civilians who were equally stupid and clumsy laughed at Iger as a fool. Those people had no ability to take away his position and credit, but they could easily take away Iger's dignity!

    As a result, the depressed Iger returned to the countryside after repeated setbacks, and put on the pastoral robe of the late old missionary. With Iger's knowledge, he soon became a real pastor, and was determined to spread the glory of the Lord to  The whole world!

    The irony is that even after becoming a priest, Iger is still out of tune with other people. He just wants to pray and repent in church to help those in need. But a successful priest does not rely on this alone.  of!

    Most of those priests with respected status and high reputation have deep backgrounds and connections. They travel among the nobles, chatting and laughing with those noble gentlemen and ladies, but they never go to the slums where they are most needed to preach and give alms!

    They can easily raise large sums of money, wear expensive priest robes, ride in gorgeous carriages, live and sleep in luxury, and spend a lot of money on entertainment, but they will never give out a copper or a piece of bread to those who need it most.  Help the poor!

    It was only then that Egg finally understood why the old preacher, who was so knowledgeable, so humble and kind, was just a small pastor of a country church until his death. That was because angels are not welcome in hell!

    It just so happened that the parents of Egger¡¯s brother and sister also passed away one after another at this time. Egger decided to take his equally knowledgeable and extraordinary sister to the far east, because Egger felt that since the West has become corrupt, God¡¯s new paradise should be opened in the East!

    So after many twists and turns, the Egger brothers and sisters arrived in the East and arrived in the Ming Dynasty as they wished. However, Egger's plan to open up God's new paradise in the East did not seem to be going well!

    "God would never have thought that there is a place like Ming Dynasty in the world. The people here actually believe in all the gods and have unparalleled respect for their ancestors. Some people even believe in the animals in the mountains and forests. As your Majesty said,  He said that the people of the Ming Dynasty have no real faith, and if they do, they only have four words: respecting heaven and the ancestors. It is simply impossible for them to believe in only one god. My brother's hair has turned gray because of this.  !" Juliana finally shrugged, her expression extremely helpless!

    Juliana¡¯s personality is not as restrained as that of the Ming Dynasty women, and her expressions are very exaggerated when she speaks. Although the story is sad, she also tells it very funny, which made Zhu Youxiao and the three girls laugh non-stop!

    After hearing this story, Zhu Youxiao said: "Since your brother is so talented and learned, why not let him be an official! Although the water here cannot be said to be as clear as a mirror, it is much better than in Europe!"

    Juliana smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but my brother has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the embrace of God. He is now concentrating on studying how to improve the canons of the Catholic Church to make it more suitable for the development of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid  He won¡¯t consider doing anything else until this is done!¡±

    Zhu Youxiao could only spread his hands and said: "That's a pity. I'm planning to find someone who understands European culture and systems as a consultant. I heard what you said about your brother and thought he was very suitable, but you said so  , it¡¯s not easy for me to disturb a devout believer!¡±

    After hearing this, Juliana rolled her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think you need to be discouraged."??, because I am exactly the person you need. I have also studied with old missionaries. I am familiar with aristocratic etiquette and European culture and systems. At the same time, my swordsmanship is no worse than that of any senior swordsman, so I  I recommend myself to you as your personal secretary!  "

    Regarding Juliana¡¯s self-recommendation, Zhang Yan, Ning Xi, and Cheng Yuyan all opened their eyes in shock. As traditional Ming women, they could not have imagined that there was such a bold woman in the world who dared to recommend themselves to the emperor!

    Even Cheng Yuyan, who has been with Juliana for the longest time, only knew that Juliana was bolder and unrestrained than the Ming Dynasty women, but this was the first time she saw Juliana do such a bold thing, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for this silly and bold woman.  Western women are sweating!

    On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao didn't think it was a big deal. Not only was he not surprised by Juliana's boldness, but he seriously considered the matter. After all, although the emperor was rich, he didn't even have a female secretary by his side.  , this mess is worse than the small boss of the company in later generations!

    However, Zhu Youxiao would not just find a vase to put next to him, so after Juliana finished speaking, he did not agree, but asked with a smile: "To be my personal secretary, you must have real talent and learning.  , I wonder what you know specifically?"

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao did not refuse, Juliana immediately showed a look of joy on her face and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured about my knowledge. I am proficient in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.  , and I am also deeply involved in mathematics and geometry. The most important thing is that I am familiar with political affairs and know how to give you appropriate advice. I believe that hiring me as your personal secretary will be the wisest choice in your life!"

    Seeing Juliana's lively words, Zhu Youxiao still shrugged and said: "Miss Juliana, what you said is enough to make you qualified to be the personal secretary of any European king, but I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and handle the most.  It¡¯s still about the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty. If you can¡¯t use Ming Dynasty characters freely, then you can¡¯t be my secretary!¡±

    Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that writing Chinese characters would be a difficult problem for Juliana. If she couldn¡¯t write with Chinese characters proficiently, then her plan to get herself a foreign female secretary would have to be abandoned!

    Unexpectedly, Juliana showed a proud smile on her face and shouted: "Get a pen and paper!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
