     Not only were Ferdinand Verbiest and company well-versed in calendar systems, but were also well-equipped with many skills. The government also used them. Other than studying calendars, they also made firearms to assist the military and took up the posts of diplomat, translator, and surveyor. Thus, they were not forbidden from preaching their religion; at that time, the number of subjects who were baptized was no less than a hundred thousand, and the mathematics and calendar science of China was the best of its time.
