Meanwhile, Liu Hong also began to consider the personnel to be sent to Rome.

The envoy will undoubtedly be Chu Qian, and the caravan will consist of royal merchants and some aristocratic families.

Based on the missionary's suggestion, Liu Hong decided to send Zhang Lu, who had recently joined the Taiping Church.

After all, Zhang Lu in history had created a theocratic system, so his presence might have some remarkable achievements.

As for the scholars who went to Rome, Liu Hong hesitated for a moment.

The new Confucianism promoted by the Han Dynasty today has completely abandoned the old, decadent ideas and is full of pioneering, innovative and aggressive spirit.

Liu Hong had no intention of spreading these advanced academic ideas to Rome, where they would become an asset in helping them grow stronger.

After much deliberation, Liu Hong decided to send those old scholars and some empty talkers to Rome.

In Liu Hong's view, sending Confucius's memorial tablet to the West is undoubtedly a brilliant idea.

After all, the destructive power of the corrupt and pedantic scholars is quite significant.

Subsequently, Liu Hong issued an imperial decree to recruit Confucian scholars who were dedicated to studying traditional Confucianism.

After receiving the emperor's summons, the Confucian scholars were surprisingly enthusiastic and excited about the opportunity to go to the west to spread education.

Today, traditional Confucianism has almost no place to survive in the Han Dynasty. For those Confucian scholars, being able to go to a completely new place to spread their doctrines is undoubtedly a very rare opportunity.

In the following days, the selected Confucian scholars also went to the guesthouse to talk and communicate with Youde and others.

Yudeo and others not only showed no aversion to these Confucian scholars who constantly quoted Confucius, but also found them extremely useful, diligently studying Confucian thought.
