Chapter 216: Seminary

Improve science and technology and raise the level of productivity. Let human society produce more wealth and make the cake as big as possible, which is enough to distribute. It's just not a process that can be done overnight.

This society doesn't mean that if you invent the steam engine, you can immediately enter the capitalist era, that's.

As a soul traveler from the Blue Star, he does have the technology to make a steam engine. But if this kind of black technology is taken out when society does not need it at all, can it really promote the progress of civilization?

He didn't think so. It's not a good thing to be promoted.

The human civilization in this world is still too backward, whether it is technology or culture. But until now, Xihe, the tribe, and even the Otung in the West have not had a formal school.

Even though papermaking and printing were created early on, the literacy rate was still pitifully low. Even believers, who account for nearly eighty percent of the total population, still live the kind of life they live today in the days when the sun rises and goes to sunset, and the neighbors smell each other's chickens and dogs, and they die of old age twenty miles away.

And the pace of this life is very slow, very slow. Therefore, if we come up with technology that surpasses this era at this time, it can certainly bring about a technological change.

But I'm afraid that the upper layer and the lower layer will also be completely separated because of this, and it is not impossible to raise a group of high-ranking Tianlong people.

And if there were steam engines and gunpowder, the way of war would immediately change dramatically.

The use of gunpowder in the West in ancient times has completely swept the original knight class into the dustbin of history. But now, the Templars and Tribal Warriors who have been blessed by Him are the knightly class that exists in this human society.

They are the backbone of the church's rule and the embodiment of theocracy. If they are swept into the dustbin of history by technology, it may be beneficial in the long run, but what about the church, and how can theocracy be carried out in a new era?

As a person concerned, Liang Tian himself knew very well that the so-called kingdom of God was just a lie he pulled out a long time ago in order to collect as much faith as possible.

Maybe one day, this lie can become a reality. And if not, this lie will be exposed sooner or later. Therefore, compared to the kingdom of God, which is completely a lie, the greatest means for him to control human society and make everyone believe in him is canonization and blessing.

He canonized the pious women as witches and blessed the pious warriors as transcendental. These blessed and canonized people drew their power from Him, and it was by this absolute force that they established the Church and then used it to rule.

So faith is only part of the reason why the church is able to maintain its rule. More so because the Church has absolute force. They have absolute force, so the secular royal power does not dare to compete with the church head-on, and they do not dare to resist the little encroachment of the church.

It is precisely because of absolute force that those careerists who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic do not dare to come forward. Even if some people have no faith in God at all, they still have to pretend to be devout under the deterrence of this force.

But if the force doesn't exist.

Those who had survived all the hardships and dangers to become Templars and Tribal warriors were shot with a direct heat weapon by a child or even a disabled person who could not even walk.

What is the point of blessing and canonization? At most, it means being healthier than ordinary people and living longer.

Once this happens, I'm afraid that many careerists will emerge immediately. At that time, the church may not perish, but it will no longer be able to maintain its present detachment.

And this, naturally, is not what Liang Tian, who is a god, wants to see. The ass determines the head, and as a god, he is naturally more inclined to theocracy in terms of secular kingship and religious theocracy, there is no doubt about it.

He wants the human civilization of this world to continue to grow and progress. But there is also a premise for all this, and these developments and progress are carried out under His direction. Otherwise, it doesn't mean much to Him.

This notion may be selfish. But he didn't see anything wrong with it.

"If it weren't for me, the humans of this world would have been conquered by the orcs by force long ago. If it weren't for me, the humans in this world would only be slaves in the mouth of the orcs. I created everything, and I led everything. ”

That's what he had in mind.

So even though He had the technology to make a steam engine and gunpowder, He wasn't prepared to let those two things come into existence. At least in this day and age, they can't be present or exist.

But for this society, he is still pushing and playing a positive role.

For example, in the past, the status of doctors who were useful to society and civilization was promoted by the method of creating idols. And now, he also intends to promote the development of education, so that the church can create seminaries all over the world, and teach without class.

Seminary, this is His next plan, and it is a vital part of all His plans.

In this way, he wants to improve the overall quality of believers, or at least to make more believers literate. So the tuition fees charged by church-sponsored theologians are very low.

And as long as they are not the descendants of blasphemers, then as long as they can pay for the tuition, they can study in the seminary. Of course, since it is a seminary, it is naturally inevitable to carry some private goods.

Thus, in addition to the regular literature and mathematics, history, martial arts, and natural sciences, various theological texts were also compulsory.

For example, there are many other deeper analyses of the doctrine and how great and merciful the true God is, and the deeds of those religious heroes. All of them are required to be studied, and they account for more than 40% of the total curriculum.

In this way, these graduates who come out of the seminary will become supporters of church rule. It can play a vital role in the long-term rule of the church.

I remember that before the crossing, someone on the Blue Star said: "Education is the cause of national defense." ”

He felt that this was not a good thing at all. If you control education, you will naturally be able to influence your thoughts. And as long as he can influence thoughts, then his control over the world will be infinite.

So, look at the seminaries that have sprung up, and then look at the children and teenagers who are studying in the seminaries. He already knew that He had the future in his hands now.

At this time, it has been twenty-six years since the fall of the orc kingdom.
