Chapter 27 (4th Update)
Soma ushered in the first development, and when the warlords were divided, Soma kept regressing, regressing economically, culturally, etc., which made the Soma people more and more miserable, and their lives became more and more poor. In the midst of these dark times, the people of Soma have felt unprecedented suffering, they have deeply felt that they have been deceived, but they have no right to stand up and speak.
Now the church continues to invest in Soma, and factories and enterprises have been established, although most of them have shares in the church, but they have also rapidly increased Soma's economic level.
Easy-to-build enterprises are the first to be established, and the first thing to be established is naturally the food industry. Food is something that the entire Soma people are focused on.
In the construction of various enterprises, there are naturally a large number of idle jobs. During the warlord era, the unemployment rate in Soma as a whole reached 80 percent, and only 20 percent of the people supported themselves on a meager salary, while the rest of the people survived by various means.
Therefore, for the Soma people, these jobs are undoubtedly the biggest boon, which allows more people to have the key to a better life.
Although the church has now saved the people of Soma from starvation, having a job will naturally make the family more perfect, and it is undoubtedly impossible to live a better life by receiving the monthly alms of the faith. So only by working can you make more money.
It is necessary to rectify it slowly, and it must not be too fast, otherwise not only the church will not be able to afford it, but the whole Soma will also be unable to afford it. It's impossible to become a big fat man in one bite. Therefore, under the decision of the entire church leadership, two cities were renovated first, and these two cities were originally based on good foundations, so it was not too difficult to build.
The first is naturally Filip City, Fili City has completed its first rectification during this period of time, and the rectification city can already be regarded as a city, and it is too easy to clean up a city in the face of huge and cheap human resources. On the day of the start of the rectification, you can see the scene of cleaners running around the city.
The second city is Soma's capital, Luxi City, which comes from Latin and symbolizes light and hope.
It's a pity that it didn't bring light and hope to Soma, and now the church will take over here. It was used as the first papal city, and according to the agreement the government had to place the capital here, which symbolized the divine right of kings. This also represents the official beginning of the church's formal departure from the control of the state.
Naturally, this is the first city to be renovated, because the founding ceremony will be held here, so the church has put all the main forces in this Luxi city. As the first papal city, it is natural that it must be built very grandly, otherwise it will lose the status of the Church.
Fortunately, Soma's labor is now extremely cheap, and the facilities and equipment in Luxi City are also very complete, so it doesn't take too long.
In the center of Luxi City. A huge palace is being built, with religious-theological elements as the main body, with Soma and Oriental elements to build a papal palace. Next to this palace is the Presidential Palace, which is also being remodeled, but it is a few notches lower than the Papal Palace.
……
"How has Luxi City been rebuilt?" Zhang Xiaojian asked Zhou Jue, who is now in charge of the church's financial affairs in Soma.
"Your Majesty, it has been under construction for half a month, and it is expected to be completed in February next year." Zhou Jue responded.
Zhang Xiaojian nodded. "In this case, the founding ceremony will be held in March next year, and by the way, the day will be designated as Divine Grace Day. Worship services are held on the day. ”
"Yes!" Zhou Jue asked the pastor on the side to record it, at this moment his heart couldn't help but be excited, a month ago, he followed the church to Africa, and in just one month, he became a big church in control of a country, which is too big a gap. Not long ago, the church was limited by the state, but now the church is getting stronger and stronger.
Soma has a lot of resource mines, Zhou Jue uses the resources obtained here to make his family is expanding rapidly, if the power of a country can make Zhou Jue's family comparable to the four great families in country Z, then he can find a piece of tofu to kill him.
"A year should be enough to prepare for the founding ceremony and the Day of Divine Grace." Zhang Xiaojian thought. In fact, he still felt a bit hasty, after all, it was really difficult to complete a huge Papal Palace in a year, and of course it was not impossible.
……
The sacred mountain of the Z country.
Archbishop Li Liang looked out the window, in the past month, he has made the church more stable, and the entire H city has been reduced to a place of faith, even under the pressure of the government, it can't resist the religion with gods behind it, faith alone can make people healthy and live a long life is enough to make countless people crazy to believe, not to mention that after death, they can ascend to the kingdom of God and immortality of God.
The benefits of believing in the god Tulo have made the whole city of H crazy, and all the believers know one thing internally, a hospital owned by the official church of the Holy Spirit Healing Hospital in the city of H, think of the power of this hospital, every day there are many patients from all over Shijie like a river, there are terrifying numbers.
Just because it can treat almost all diseases, although it is not announced that it can treat cancer, most people know that this hospital does have such capabilities.
"How is Her Highness doing lately?" Li Liang asked a priest standing beside him, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is the pillar of the Holy Mountain, once the Holy Mountain does not have the support of the Holy Maiden, the Holy Mountain will not have a strong enough person to deter outsiders, and now the profits of the Holy Treatment Institute are terrifying, and the eyes of many people around the world have already been on this, if it were not for the Holy Maiden to resist all outsiders, the Holy Mountain would not be able to support it at all.
"The influence of adults and saints in the entertainment industry is getting stronger and stronger, and they have begun to reach out to help others." A priest smiled and said that Her Highness had a changeable personality, sometimes mischievous and sometimes cold, but one thing did not change that she was a child.
"Well, has the Pope had any recent will?" Li Liang thought of Pope Zhang Xiaojian, who was far away in Africa, he didn't know the general situation in Africa, so he was very concerned about it, which was related to the future of the church. Now that the country's repression is getting more and more serious, and even troops have begun to be stationed around H City, it is obvious that they are really waiting for an opportunity.
Once the church is developed in Africa, then country Z will naturally not be able to restrict the church. Of course, country Z can't be lost, because there are too many markets and material channels here, and if you want to develop in Africa, you naturally need all kinds of materials, so the church shili in country Z must definitely be maintained.
"Nothing else, the secret letter sent back by His Majesty the Pope said that Soma has been successfully controlled, but Soma is too poor, and it may not be too easy to develop, although there are many believers, most of them are for food, and they may not be very religious in terms of faith." The pastor pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Since this is the case, tell this information to the Wang family, I think they will be very interested, they will covet the resources of a country, and they will definitely have the right to support it." Li Liang laughed, this news was so good, so good that he who originally felt heavy instantly laughed.
"Since the saint wants to do it in the public welfare, let her do it, we can't decide on His Highness's affairs, His Highness has his own ideas, maybe you and I don't understand, Ma Gan, you will issue an order according to my instructions in a while, and the intensity of spreading faith on the route from Wudong City to H City should be strengthened."
Ma Gan responded, "No problem, Your Excellency the Archbishop! ”
……
In Soma, Africa, Zhang Xiaojian looked at the information in his hand that had just been sent about Soma's specific national conditions, and his brows tightened, Soma's national conditions were far more serious than he imagined, but this did not affect Zhang Xiaojian, the resources of Soma's country are not bad and can be developed, and if Soma wants to develop in the short term, the liliang needed will naturally be strengthened.
The sabotage of the warlords has caused most of Soma's enterprises and factories to close down, and the basic materials have to be purchased from abroad, and a large amount of money is wanted to take out interest-free loans from international banks every year.
In addition, now Zhang Xiaojian has to build Luxi City, this amount of money is naturally even larger, and Zhang Xiaojian's church is not an empty shell, but a religion with real materials, and it is not difficult to get funds.
"Although the beliefs of the Soma people are not religious, the amount is indeed sufficient, but if this continues, I am afraid that the main soul will have to be postponed for a period of time to ascend to the altar, and it seems that the faith of the Soma people will become more pious." Zhang Xiaojian pondered, "The development of Soma is also very important to the church, and to use Soma as a foundation, it will naturally take a lot of effort. ”
Just as Zhang Xiaojian was thinking about these questions, his face suddenly changed, and he sneered, "It's finally time to come after a month!" ”
Outside the border of Soma, a handsome Taoist priest, with long flowing hair, holding floating dust in his hand, swaying at will in a gossip robe, walking leisurely, singing as he walked: "A thousand years of red dust or ten thousand years?" I'm just going to be bewitched by it! Love? Still not in love? It's a pity that there are thousands of red dust, no one knows the ugliness and beauty of red dust! ”
"Life is like a red dust dream.,This Daqian shijie is really interesting.,It's just that the liliang I felt last time should be in this area.,I've been looking for it for a while.,It's really making people more and more curious.。 The Taoist priest shook his head and said, and suddenly he looked ahead, it was Soma.
"Found it, the residual aura in front is so strong, it shouldn't be wrong!" The Taoist priest showed a smile on his face, shook off the dust with his backhand, and a golden light swayed, falling to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the ground grew a young shoot, and then quickly grew flowers, which was really beautiful and extraordinary.
The Taoist priest strode towards Soma's port of Soma, as the aura in that direction was the strongest in the whole of Soma.
Seeing the Taoist priests who walked away, these Africans worshiped one after another, worshiped as gods, and even set up an altar when they went back. (To be continued......)
