The passage of time by minute and second seems to be very slow, but if you wait for the passage of time and look back and think about it, you feel that time is really like a white horse passing by, fleeting.

With the vast amount of human and material resources he has today, his followers are now expanding outward, constantly exploring the distant and unknown regions.

Therefore, when the time came to the one hundred and fifty-fifth year of the Divine Age, whether it was the winding mountains of the south, or the vast northern grasslands, or the deserts of the far west, all of them had the presence of his followers.

Thus, at this time, the church had already been connected with the cyclops in the southern mountains. The cyclops that had been conquered by Liang Tian had now grown to tens of thousands of people, and four gathering places had been established in the mountains.

But this is obviously nothing compared to the human population of more than 10 million. But at this time, just by adding up the tribe and Xihe, there are more than 30,000 transcendents who have been blessed and canonized.

And if we add the Ortona and the Teros in the south, the number of blessed and canonized is as high as 50,000.

Because of this, when the church and the giants became connected, the tens of thousands of giants in the mountains also became vassals of the church. The church would help them with food and some supplies, and they would be responsible for patrolling the southern mountains and being the eyes of the church in the mountains.

As for the society of human civilization, it has also developed to a very high level at a rapid pace.

For example, a few years ago, an east-west canal was dug in Xihe, which is 500 miles long, and the canal communicates the major water systems in Xihe, thus making the waterfront city the most important transportation hub in Xihe.

As a result, the city ushered in rapid development, and the city's development speed and settled population even surpassed Xihe's capital and tribal shrines in one fell swoop, and it suddenly became the most prosperous city in the north of the mountains.

Therefore, in today's waterfront city, there are more than 300,000 permanent residents in the city alone. The sum of the floating population that comes and goes every year is several times the number of permanent residents in the city.

The prosperity and magnificence of the city really make everyone yearn for it.

"In this great city, you can find almost everything you can find in this world. Here live our tribal brothers, the Ortonger, who speak a different language but are just as kind, and the Dero, who are honest and trustworthy despite their different hair colors. It's the best city in the world, and there's no one like it!"

Not long ago, the lord of Linshui City made such a public declaration at the New Year's Festival.

Then his words quickly spread to every corner of the world, making the city lord of another city snort coldly and sneered: "I think only our city is qualified to say that it can find everything that can be found in this world. ”

And this other city lord is the city lord of the Horde's East Coast Resting Harbor. But after decades of development, today's God-given port has really changed dramatically compared to the beginning.

First of all, in terms of population: there are now 200,000 permanent residents in Xifenggang. Although it is slightly inferior to Linshui City in this aspect, it is no worse than the tribal holy land and Xihe Capital.

Secondly, in terms of economy: today's Xifeng Port has become the largest and most prosperous port city in human society. Therefore, goods from all over the world are concentrated here, silk, spices, precious stones, war horses, forest deer, wildebeest...... In addition, there are countless other treasures that are transferred from here every day.

As a result, there is also the largest naval force in the world, which is responsible for maintaining order at sea. Their total strength was about 5,000 men, and there were more than 30 ships. Belonging to the Church is a force in the hands of the Church that cannot be ignored.

In this way, it ensured the prosperity of the god-given harbor of Rest, and countless merchants from the human world were willing to come here to do business.

Therefore, there is also a saying in today's human world, "There is not only everything you can imagine, but also everything you can't imagine." ”

Then, if you only look at the current waterfront city and Xifeng Harbor, the prosperity of human society is simply like cooking oil on fire. But it has to be said here that although the top is so prosperous, at the bottom, the lives of many people are still not easy.

The land that can be cultivated has basically been reclaimed at this time, and it is completely impossible to obtain hundreds of acres of land at once as it did a few decades ago, and then turn over and become a landlord.

Even in every township, there are seminaries where knowledge can be imparted. However, this relatively shallow knowledge is not enough to change fate.

Therefore, even if there are many wealthy people who can spend a lot of money and live a luxurious life that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Ordinary workers, who account for eighty and half of the total population of society, still have to work hard for three meals a day every day.

In this regard, the gods behind the scenes also wanted to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor as much as possible.

So he had the church reform with tithes, exempting the poor from taxes and increasing the taxes on the wealthy. In this way, the gap between the rich and the poor will be narrowed as much as possible.

Unfortunately, this did not have much effect. Those who are wealthy, they have a lot of resources at their disposal, so their children are born with a good education that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Even if the tax on them is increased, these people still have an absolute advantage in the competition in all walks of life.

Thus the rich will always be rich. But perhaps they also recognized the contradictions between the classes, so in order to maintain their image, almost all the rich families fell in love with the charity movement initiated by the church, and then became one great benevolent person after another.

In the end, in order to make the people at the bottom have a psychological balance, they even cleverly came up with a sentence, "No more than three generations of wealth".

Heh, hearing this suddenly, Liang Tian couldn't help laughing.

"That guy said this kind of, and he is not more than three generations rich. Why don't you say, "You are poor because you don't work hard". ”

But unfortunately, even He could not fundamentally solve the problem of the excessive gap between the rich and the poor. For He is not only the God of the poor, but also the God of the rich.

And many rich people are indeed devout believers, so it is impossible for Him to help only one side. Otherwise, God will be resisted by the upper echelons of society.

After all, people have individual independent thoughts, not artificial intelligence that only knows how to obey. But because of this, in order to be able to work hard to make a career, there are many people at the bottom who are full of adventurous spirit. These people are ambitious and unwilling to be ordinary.
