Chapter 445: Heretic
Fat Tangerine believes that faith is a mutually beneficial agreement.
God-level transcendents provide protection, and ordinary people or low-level transcendents provide the power of faith, just like buying and selling, each taking what he needs and making his own profit.
But when doing business, there is also a person who makes more profits, who does business more easily, who gives whom credit, or who gives whom opportunities.
In Fat Orange's opinion, how can he say that he was once a transcendent person who became a god, and he should not be too careful about his people, his face is not good-looking, and the store is a bully!
Therefore, he will not punish his subjects for their impiety, nor will he try to increase his followers.
This is a bit harsh for Ray, who left it to Lily and Alyssia.
In order to be able to punish ungodly subjects at any time, as well as to show his sense of existence at any time, Ray actually researched a super-large range of domain source energy skills, God's Sanction. With this skill performed by a top-level god-level transcendent like him, he could control the actions of everyone in the land within a radius of hundreds of miles, and thunder and lightning would land above the target's head with a single thought.
It can be said that one thought determines life and death.
Fat Orange didn't use this way to control his people, he just dropped a few exercises back then, the entry-level ones can make ordinary people strengthen their bodies, and finally break through the extraordinary, and the more advanced ones can make people cultivate all the way to the omniscient, so to speak, in terms of inheritance, Fat Orange did not hide his secrets. From a single data, it can be seen that the proportion of transcendents in the Kingdom of Light is about the same as that of the empire with the help of an obelisk, around eight or nine percent, while the natives of the New World also do not have an obelisk, but their proportion of transcendents can only barely be counted as two percent.
For this alone, Fat Tangerine is worthy of the deep love of his subjects.
After the battle of the gods, it was Fat Orange who walked out of his nest and sheltered the dazed humans, but did not take the initiative to establish his own faith. As for the temple and priesthood system, it was really not made by Fat Orange, but by the humans who were sheltered by Fat Orange on their own initiative.
It's not that people were creative at that time, but that there was this set of things before the battle of the gods, and Royol's set was completely copied.
But then Fat Orange's soul was traumatized and his strength fell, and in order to maintain his declining physical and mental strength, he had to accept the power of the people's faith.
Unexpectedly, he let the high priest find a loophole, and almost took away his divine throne and replaced him.
......
In the end, the followers of Fat Orange still clashed with the non-believers from the Empire.
The outbreak of the conflict took place in the late summer days.
A group of extreme believers, led by a probationary priest, rushed to the docks and burned a cargo ship.
The ship, belonging to the Marquis of Jones, had brought a set of forging equipment from the port of Mousse, and was preparing to take a shipload of sugar from Tavaret.
The raw sugar burns very quickly, and the transcendent people of the water system cannot be allowed to directly mobilize the sea water to flush it, and as soon as the water is flushed, the sugar is gone, so in the end, the boat with the sugar is all burned clean.
The apprentice priest who took the lead in the trouble was named Shen Ming, who had just arrived in the New World from the territory of the Bright God Kingdom, and was waiting for the assignment of work in the temple of Tavaret, and usually helped to receive the people who came to worship in the temple.
The incident began when a woman complained to the young priest that the price of sugar in the market had risen again and that the family could no longer afford to eat sugar.
In all fairness, the price of sugar in Tavaré is simply too cheap compared to the mainland of the Kingdom of Light, and the first few batches of sailors who return to the mainland will stuff a few bags of sugar into the warehouses stuffed with grain.
In the native kingdom of light, people are eager to use every inch of land to grow food, and it is not suitable for growing sugar cane, so the only thing that wants to eat something sweet is maltose, which costs more.
Similarly, sugar was a commodity that was lacking in the newly formed Duchy of Baptiste, and market-sensitive merchants saw an opportunity as soon as they arrived in Tavaré.
Therefore, the price of sugar began to take off under the demand from many parties.
In all fairness, since Tavaré is the main sugarcane producing area, and most of the surrounding farms also grow sugarcane, the price of sugar in Tavaré is very low, even if it has increased a lot recently, it is still less than one-third of the price of sugar in the Kingdom of Light.
But to put it simply, it still went up a lot, and as long as the price went up, some people were unhappy, and if they inquired again, it was because the infidels copied the price of sugar.
It's enough for these heretics to hang out in front of them every day, especially those imperial mothers-in-law, who dress up every day, showing their arms and thighs, and half of their white breasts.
How to look at it, how to hate!
The new hatred and old hatred were added together, and when the apprentice priest Shen Ming raised his arms, he actually gathered dozens of people and set off from the temple, preparing to go to the dock to find the imperial merchants and let them spit out all the sugar they had snatched at a high price.
By the time the procession hit the streets, the situation was out of control, and people kept hearing the news and joined, and by the time they arrived at the port, the procession had exceeded 1,000 people, blocking the pier trestle tightly.
The officer in charge of the docks, seeing that the leader of the procession was actually a priest, immediately answered all questions, and pointed to the Marquis Jones's cargo ship: "Let me tell you, that ship is full of sugar!
Coincidentally, the owner of the cargo, Juan, happened to be on the ship, and he was going to follow the ship back to the port of Mousse. Juan found that his ship was surrounded, and it took a great deal of effort to figure out from the mouths of the people of the Bright God Kingdom who were babbling and accented, and that they had come to demand that he sell them the sugar at a reasonable price.
That's right, the suggestion made by the apprentice priest Shen Ming at the beginning was that the temple would pay for the purchase of a boatload of sugar.
Shen Ming was also a little scared at this time, he originally planned to ask for a few packets of sugar from the hated imperial people for a few believers, and then it would be taxed, and everyone would go home separately, which would also be a credit. But he didn't expect that along the way, the team behind him had become thousands of people.
In this case, it is definitely not possible to ask for other people's sugar in vain, there are too many people, and it is definitely not enough to ask for a little. It's not impossible to pay some money to buy it, the temple is very rich, spend money to buy people's hearts, the temple has always done such things.
As a result, Juan is also a tempered lord, how to say that Lao Tzu's father is also the top few people in the Duchy of Baptiste, although he is an illegitimate child, this can be ignored, but Lao Tzu also came to Tavare to do business with real money!
Lao Tzu and Hei Ye met, Hei Ye's secretary, the third boy of Bernande's family, that is Lao Tzu's student!
Lao Tzu is such a cow, you even force Lao Tzu to sell goods at a reasonable price! Not to mention the same ship, if you buy it now, it is estimated that it has already risen by a percentage, and you say that if Lao Tzu sends this cargo back to Musai Port, the price will at least double!
So Juan definitely doesn't sell.
I can't talk about it, I quarrel first, and after arguing for a while, I will naturally do it, they are all transcendental, and it is too normal to do it if I don't move smoothly in my heart.
It's just that the result was beyond Juan's expectations, and the Ugin Guard warriors guarding the dock came to help him at all, and they didn't come to rescue him, a big businessman who used to talk and laugh with the black master.
When the army did not come, Juan and his sailors were certainly no match for the crowd, and after being beaten, they were tied up and thrown on the docks.
Juan really overestimated the status of merchants in the Kingdom of Light, this is not the same as the empire, according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Light, Shinong industry and commerce, merchants are at the bottom of the four people, and the status of heretics has reduced a little favorability, so the Ugin Guard soldiers who are responsible for guarding the docks have already gone to the side to watch the show, help you out, think too much.
After a fight, even the trainee priest Shen Ming couldn't control the scene, and the excited people rushed up and began to grab the sugar. Jiujiu Chinese
You have a pack, I have a pack, hey? How dare you take two packs, then I will take two packs too, and by the way, I also quietly kicked the greedy guy who took three packs.
Soon the scene got out of control again, and I don't know who knocked over the kerosene lamp and accidentally detonated Juan's private gunpowder, although the force of the explosion was not large, but it ignited the flammable goods.
Out of control!
Chicken feathers all over the place.
However, it is difficult for Hei Ye to deal with this matter, both involving diplomacy and temples, which are all areas that Hei Ye is not good at.
I couldn't make a decision for a while, so I had to urgently ask Fat Tangerine.
Fat Orange learned of the situation and still habitually discussed countermeasures with Jacques.
Although the incident involved Jacques's former teacher, Juan, Jacques was not good at making random suggestions, he still knew the severity.
This matter must have hurt the interests of foreign businessmen and hit the confidence of allies, but if it is dealt with seriously, it will affect the image of the God of Light among the people, and now Fat Tang still has to rely on the power of faith to restore his strength.
The bad guys can't let the night do it, the fat orange is lazy, and the military and political affairs need to be handled by the black master, if the reputation of the black master is damaged, it will definitely affect the efficiency and credibility of the entire New World government affairs system.
Both of them fell into the middle of a long exam.
Suddenly, Lily said, "Isn't it just looking for someone to play blackface, warning the people not to clash with friendly infidels." ”
"That's right, it's as simple as that. ”
"It's a question of who to do. ”
Jacques and Fat Orange said one after another.
"Is it so difficult? Let's reason, this person can't be low-status. Lily said.
"That's right!" said Jacques and Fat Orange.
"It is only reasonable that this man should have the motive to defend the infidels, and if the conflict intensifies, he can use this person to calm the anger of the people. Lily said.
"That's right!" both guys nodded in unison.
"Then why are you looking for someone else?
"Why me?"
"Why, first of all, you are suitable for both of these two, you were born and raised in the Empire, and it is reasonable to maintain a relationship with the merchants of the Empire, plus you still have some fame in Tavaret, and the people of the Empire who are blessed by the God of Light, ordinary people call you that.
Secondly, you don't care about a half-job, and when you need to adjust the direction of the wind, you can make a gesture by taking your position. ”
Jacques thought about it for a moment, and felt that Lily had some truth in what she said.
Fat Orange was woken up by Lily and immediately began to plan.
"The Emperor first appointed Jacques as an official, preferably diplomatically.
Then let Jacques go out to warn the temple, and deal with the recent disputes between the people of the Empire, no matter how fair Jacques is, everyone is still used to using voice and faith. Rather than displeasing both sides, he simply made the appearance of defending the empire."
As a result, Jacques and Lily also suspended their training, and the three returned to Tavaré together.
Combine work and rest, just go back to rest and rest.
The day after arriving in Tavarai, Jacques was appointed as the Governor of Foreign Affairs, responsible for handling matters related to the Empire, and the Black Master also specifically pointed out that this was the will of the God of Light.
Jacques was also very decisive in his handling of the riots, first dispatching more than a dozen "outstanding" perpetrators to remote areas according to the list of perpetrators registered at the scene.
In the Kingdom of Light, everyone's work is assigned by the state, and the distribution of remote areas is already a relatively heavy punishment.
On the other hand, the treasury funded to make up for Mr. Juan's loss, and the loss must be recognized.
Jacques then took the lead in organizing a gathering of the Imperium in Tavaré, and although there were not many who were eligible to attend, they were the core figures of the Imperium in Tavare.
During the banquet, Jacques almost made it clear that if you want to make money on the territory of the Kingdom of Light, everyone should try to believe in the God of Light, that plate pretends, God doesn't care about you three melons and two dates, but ordinary people do!
People just can't get used to seeing others different from themselves.
This can be regarded as a clear expression to the people of the empire The attitude of the upper echelons of the Bright God Kingdom.
The cooperation continues, but it is best to respect other people's beliefs, pretend that no one cares, and there will be a gap if you don't participate at all.
Eventually, a group of people dressed in Imperial attire mingled with the dark-skinned natives and participated in the temple's moon festival together, and from then on, the troubles and blindness encountered by the Imperial merchants in Tavaré were significantly reduced.
In this way, the warrior alleviated the conflict between believers and non-believers, but after this incident, Fat Tangerine found that he still relied too much on the power of faith and could not practice according to his heart.
Fat Orange's original cultivation path was that he didn't need to establish a belief system, absorb the power of faith, and even didn't need to transform into a human being.
This path of cultivation attaches more importance to cultivating the self of alien beasts, strengthening oneself, and not relying on external forces. The current fat orange has taken a crooked path because of injuries and great changes in the environment of heaven and earth.
After hesitating for a few days, Fat Orange finally summoned Jacques, and the two discussed it together for a long time.
Fat Orange had to discuss this matter with Jacques. This is a major decision, Fat Orange wants to take an adventure, only in this way, can he restore himself to the strength of a god-level transcendent as soon as possible, once he recovers to a god-level transcendent, Fat Orange still has five wishing power beads to absorb, and his strength can immediately cross a step, at that time, he should not rely so much on the power of faith.
Since it is an adventure, it must be dangerous, and now Fat Orange and Jacques are both prosperous, one is lost, and the matter of life is in danger, and both of them need to agree.
