The cardinal came to the audience and asked for a church to be built in honor of the former Son, and asked for a yes or no decision.

This is the content of the decision that Zhang Xun faced before, and his choice was no, and as a result, the national fortune fell by 5%.

Based on Yang Wei's experience that time, Zhang Xun first explained the background of the kingdom, that is, a situation that experienced the invasion of disease and was plagued by the power of neighboring countries.

After that, the specific content of the decision was made on this basis.

"Build a church?" Bai Xiang repeated earnestly, lost in thought.

Whenever she is serious, the whole person looks extremely capable and sharp, behind the thin and small lenses, the eyes reflect a faint light.

"This king has been infected with a contagious disease before, and even the kingdom has been infected, and now he is still recovering, and he doesn't have much money in the treasury?"

She repeated Zhang Xun's words again, to which the latter could only nod.

"If that's the case......"

Bai Xiang thought for a while before he said: "There are pros and cons to whether you agree or not to this question, since you have experienced great turmoil and there is not much money in the treasury, then building a church is undoubtedly a matter of labor and money, so if you refuse, you can save a sum of money to restore people's livelihood." ”

Zhang Xun nodded, this is also the direction of his thinking, in his eyes, only by letting his people eat their stomachs first can they talk about any commemorative activities.

"But......" Bai Xiang said suddenly, "although refusal can save a sum of money, it is not necessarily a good thing. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xun asked.

"You said that in the setting, this kingdom is a small country similar to the Middle World?"

"Yes. ”

Bai Xiang said slowly: "Then since this is the case, I think you may have underestimated the role of religion. ”

Zhang Xun made a deferential gesture.

Bai Xiang clasped his hands together and said: "Regardless of the East and the West, from the earliest time when human beings appeared, there were all kinds of worship of gods and ghosts, worship of ancestors and ancestors, whether it is the galaxy, the sun and the moon or the natural birth and destruction of these dead things, or animals and plants and other living things, have been worshiped as objects of faith, for this primitive worship There are many ways to talk about the causes, such as fear, gratitude, suffering, and ancestral spirit worship, etc., of course, this primitive worship is obviously talking to us. Religion is not the same thing, but the two are always successive. ”

In short, whether it is the worship of all things in the primitive period, or the gods who are no different from humans in ancient Greece, or the virtual gods created by people in the later years, they are all a kind of need and a kind of spiritual sustenance of people. ”

Bai Xiang said calmly: "In short, faith has never been cut off from ancient times to the present, especially in the context you set, it was obviously a necessary need of people at that time. ”

"Eating and dressing is a material need, the gods are the spiritual needs, there is a need to be satisfied, in the context of the Middle Ages, people are ignorant, the gods are convinced, in this case, to maintain the stability of people's faith and to maintain the material security of the two is not necessarily which is high, which is low. ”

Bai Xiang said slowly: "Especially since you have just experienced illness before, since you read my post, you should know that this kind of thing has a certain impact on faith, if even the group of divine spokesmen of the Holy See are infected, then the spiritual impact on the ordinary people is bound to be great, at this time I think that as a king, I should help the Holy See and stabilize the shaky position."

Zhang Xun frowned and said, "Help them? The monarchy and the divine power are not mutually reinforcing, wouldn't helping them make trouble for themselves?"

Bai Xiang shook her head, she bit her lip, and suddenly said: "But as a king, they are needed, and they are very needed, and if they are used well, they are a force that is not inferior to the violence of the army." ”

"Especially in the context you're talking about, it's a force that's indispensable. ”

Zhang Xun fell into thought.

Bai Xiang said again: "Especially the kingdom you said is still very weak, at this time, you don't have to worry too much about how the church is, after all, there are still common interests, as for what monarchy and divine power, it is better to wait for the country to be stronger and then have a headache, what you need is stability and development, not to break old habits and carry out reforms." ”

Zhang Xun fell silent.

He is not stupid, after Bai Xiang said it, he probably understands that in the current situation, strengthening the power of religion will help stabilize the people's hearts that have begun to waver after the disaster, although this matter seems to be a waste of money and a show, but sometimes this kind of thing is really necessary.

As for the concern about theocracy, he is actually a little too sensitive, after all, history tells us that if we want to develop, we still have to follow the old path of first and then that.

It's not that Zhang Xun is unaware of this, it's just that he is a modern person, with different ideological concepts, especially in this land, there are not many Western theocracy over imperial power in the past, so he does not pay enough attention to religion.

"I see. He let out a long breath.

This also explains why, after he chose "no", the brightness of the two points of light under the national fortune, "public opinion" and "religion", has decreased.

Bai Xiang couldn't help but smile when he saw him: "Actually...... I'm just talking about what I think, and in that case, it's also a big deal to hurt the finances, so I think there are pros and cons to both options. ”

Zhang Xun nodded, perhaps because of the pros and cons, after his veto, only 5% of the national fortune dropped.

Solving the confusion, Zhang Xu was not happy, but his heart was heavy.

At this time, Bai Xiang asked: "Speaking of which, I'm still a little curious, what do you think about...... What is the purpose of the inexplicable question? Not to mention that it is to make up a story, I don't believe it. ”

Zhang Xun smiled helplessly, he also knew that this reason was not credible, but he really couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while, but fortunately, although Bai Xiang was curious, he didn't force it, so he just smiled: "Let me think about it, one day I will figure it out, and then I will tell you." ”

Bai Xiang smiled: "It's okay." ”

It was late at night, Bai Xiang wanted to go home, and by the way, he also sent Zhang Xun back to Tian'an University.

The work has been negotiated, and Zhang Xun began to move.

For him, there really isn't much to move, clean up, there are very few things, not counting bedding, and the trunk of a small car can be stuffed.

The more troublesome thing is the unrenting of the house, but this is at most a little bit of a task.

That night, after Zhang Xun packed up his things, he carried a stool to the balcony, but he didn't feel sleepy.

Tonight the moon is dark and starless, and the night is rich.

"Dreamling?"

Zhang Xun screamed softly in his heart, but only called out the light curtain.

He stared intently at the monotonous page, lost in thought.

After three decisions, he also has a certain understanding of this thing, and seeing that he has a new job, he feels that it is time to calm down and really think about how to go in the future.

"Talent is important, but you can't rely on it entirely. ”

These two experiments have proved that the wisdom of Chana's talent mark is indeed very helpful for decision-making, whether it is Yang Wei or Bai Xiang, they have actually made the right choice.

But on the one hand, in the case of limited time, it is not easy to gain the trust and help of the target, and on the other hand, there will be no shortage of situations like Bai Xiang getting drunk in the future.

In other words, the wisdom of talent markers is very helpful, but you must not rely on it completely, you must have other plans.

"So on your own, or on someone else?"

Facing the night, Zhang Xun asked questions, but only he could answer them.

In all fairness, he certainly prefers that everything go through himself, he is essentially a very creative person and does not want to listen to others, but the two failed decisions have made him realize the reality.

"I'm not the kind of brilliant ordinary person in the online novel, I don't have enough knowledge, I can't travel back to ancient times and use my knowledge to make so many industrial inventions, making steel and glass. ”

"I can't even do the simplest copy of poems, and I can only remember a few poems of the level of bright moonlight in front of the bed. ”

"There is also no way to wrestle with the big man without blushing and heartbeat after crossing over, and talk and laugh with the emperor. ”

"Even if I was reborn, I couldn't even remember many details of the times, except for the easiest way to make money, such as buying a house like crazy. ”

"So, how can I be self-taught, make wise decisions, and become a good king with ability and ambition all at once?"

Zhang Xun kept questioning at the night sky, and he was also torturing himself.

If he says that he has become a king now, this can be regarded as an adventure, then how can he marry Bai Fumei and reach the peak of his life?

Why?

What kind of king is you?

Just by virtue of his ordinary undergraduate degree and the invisible aura of the protagonist?

In this era of popular hanging protagonists, he Zhang Xun may just be a supporting role who will die if he makes a mistake next.

He doesn't have any capital to be proud of, and he doesn't have any reason to study how to pretend to be forced to slap his face.

All he could think about now was how to do as right as possible step by step, and how to make his kingdom healthy and strong.

At the beginning, he felt that he should improve himself, so he went to the library to find books to read and read, which was not wrong, but as Lao Dong said, this is a water mill, and he can't solve the matter in front of him, besides, even if he has achieved something, can he really rely on his own wisdom to bring a kingdom to the road of prosperity?

"If I have this ability, then not to mention the emperor, just those countless ministers and officials in history, wouldn't it be more refreshing to just take a piece of tofu and kill them?"

Zhang Xun muttered to himself, sneering at the night sky, the last time he made a decision, he chose the latter between calling Yang Wei and his own decision, which did not want to trouble Yang Wei, but he did not have some kind of confidence in himself.

Now he's just going to sober himself up.

"Why do I, a recent graduate, think I can do this better than a university teacher who teaches history?"

"Awake, awake, awake. ”

Zhang Xun sighed faintly, and took the initiative to destroy that kind of self-confidence, and he finally set the way for the future.

"Just like Bai Xiang replied to me, if you have the opportunity and ability, it is best to gather a group of wise people to form a think tank, this is the right way. ”

"If it is really possible, then with the countless wise people in the world today, it may be possible to create a great kingdom with remote control alone. ”

"That must have been a lot of fun. ”

In the thick darkness, Zhang Xun's heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually lit up.

"And what I'm going to do is try to get together a group of people like that, and then ...... Study hard and learn how to be a real, qualified king. ”

At this moment, after many days of confusion, Zhang Xun finally had a seemingly absurd grand blueprint of his own.

What he didn't notice was that in the silence, the dreaming spirit let out a faint whisper of relief and anticipation.
