Wen Desi's requirements are also three:

1. All missionary affairs of Lingao must be presided over by the Lingao Church under the Church of Australia, and the Jesuits will support and welcome them as "brothers", but they must not stand on their own, and all religious affairs must be handled by the Lingao Church after consultation. ()

2. The Church must be supervised by a religious affairs officer dispatched by the Executive Committee.

3. Freedom of religious belief: Believers have the freedom to believe in religion, the freedom not to believe in religion, and the freedom to change their beliefs.

Except for the third one, Lu Ruohua had a slight objection, and he agreed. However, he insisted that the Jesuit mission must be given the right to ascend to the throne and refused to allow other Catholic churches to enter, and his attitude was very resolute.

Wen Deji did not expect that the Jesuits would be so hostile to other religious sects belonging to the same sect, so he asked Lu Ruohua for the reason. Lu Ruohua did not hide it, and told the cause and effect of the large-scale persecution of Catholicism in Japan in 1596.

First eviction. There are many internal and external reasons for the persecution of Catholics in Catholicism, but in order to compete for the dominance of the Japanese mission and the control of the Japanese Church, many different religious orders within the Catholic Church have recklessly acted in Japan and "purified faith", which is an important cause of this expulsion. The Jesuits lamented that many of the religious churches knew little about the Orient and that they had engaged in a frenzy and a sense of superiority of fundamentalism, which aroused great resentment among the shogunate and the daimyos, and caused the missionary affairs in Japan to plummet. That is why the Jesuits were determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past and to hold the mission firmly in their own hands.

But the Pope's personal joy for the various congregations. Love is different, and it is also entangled in power struggles within the Holy See, between the Holy See and the Churches of the major Catholic countries, and France has always tried to act as the protector of the Catholic Church in China. Although the Jesuits claim to be trusted by successive popes, they cannot completely influence the situation. So they expect the local secular regime to suppress these competitors.

"I see, Your Excellency, you are very frank." Wen Deji expressed his appreciation.

"Meaningless discussions have done too much damage. Harm. Although Lu Ruohua is a devout Catholic, he is also very disgusted by the madness of some people.

Wen Desi also put forward many details of the restrictions, Lu Ruohua because of the . The English have infiltrated here, and all those who can promise have come down - they must stand firm before the English heresies; In addition, a limited mission is better than a sneaky mission.

Eventually, the two sides reached an agreement on church matters:

The transit regime agreed to the missionary activities of the Jesuit monks in Lingao and guaranteed the safety of their activities in the territory controlled by the regime.

The traverser undertakes not to allow other Catholic orders to enter its control. Missionary work in the district. Lu Ruohua originally wanted to make an effort to ban all "heretics" - that is, the missionary activities of Protestants, but Wen Deji refused on the grounds of freedom of religious belief in his country.

"Of course it doesn't mean it. It means that we welcome them to serve and that they have the same opportunities as you. ”

Lu Ruohua had no choice but to draw a cross. God, this group of Australians is thinking differently.

Both sides affirm that Jesuit missionary activities must be carried out with the support of the Lingao Church and must not be carried out privately.

The mission accepted the Religious Affairs Officer of the Transit Regime as its protector and served as the liaison between the two sides. Accept its supervision.

The mission has the right to purchase and build houses for religious, charitable, and residential purposes in designated areas that pass through the territory under the control of the regime. However, it must be approved by the Religious Affairs Officer.

Catholics must be baptized in a designated church. After baptism, the information must be registered with the church. Baptism in private is not permitted.

Mission members are allowed to move freely in traverser-controlled areas, but are not allowed to enter government offices, military facilities, and schools without permission.

Mission members may hire servants through the Church of Lingao, but not privately. Without permission, the mission is not allowed to bring in other personnel from outside Lingao.

Religious books and documents required for missionary work must be reported in a single newspaper and should not be brought in without permission.

Missions are not allowed to set up monasteries to accommodate men and women. Such institutions should be sponsored by the Church of Lingao. The appointment of any additional clergy by the Society of Jesus requires the consent of the Church of Orientation and the Minister of Religious Affairs.

In return, the Jesuits will act to the Holy See for the legitimacy of the Church of Lyonjo. Strive for its recognition of the Church of Lingao as having all the powers of ecclesiastical affairs.

The Society of Jesus pledged to provide all convenience and support for the business activities of the transit regime in Macau. And on behalf of the employment of various European jishu and labor personnel.

The Jesuits agreed to use their missionary network to facilitate the trade activities of the traversers in Southeast Asia.

Both sides rejoiced. For Lu Ruohua, this was the biggest breakthrough in China, and although the Australians were not the official Chinese regime, they were the first regional regime to explicitly recognize their missionary powers. Under its protection, the missionary work can be carried out in the open.

For the traversal regime, this system not only ensures the traverser's grasp of clerical power, but also makes full use of the liliang of the Catholic Church.

As for the further transformation and use of the church and doctrine, there is already a group of specialized personnel conducting relevant research. Wen Desi is the head of the theoretical leading group.

Although theoretically the agreement would have to be approved by the Executive Committee and the President of the Society of Jesus in Macau, it is clear to everyone that this is just a formality. Wen Desi smiled, and asked someone to bring the "Tang Princess" to Guangzhou Station to pay homage, and the two sides raised their glasses to celebrate.

"It's really a good wine, with a fresh aroma of rhubarb." Lu Ruohua was full of praise.

"How does it compare to the mulled wine of the Abbey of Setolis?" -- Historically, the Catholic congregation has been known for its ability to make wine. (Note: This is a Cartel monastery in France, and the sweet wine brewed by the monks is the famous sweet wine of Shijie)

"It's different." Lu Ruohua shook his head and said, "The cartels use brandy, and the 'Tang Princess' uses grain wine, each with its own flavor. ”

These priests really know how to drink. Wen Deji was already slandered by this bitter and sweet wine belly. I heard that he liked to simply send another bottle to the priest.

"Do you know how to make wine?" He thought that the monk might be able to develop the craft of winemaking.

"No," Lu Ruohua raised his hand helplessly, "I will only be a doctor." ”

Doctor, this is somewhat useful. However, Western medicine and witchcraft in the 17th century were not too much to give, so it wouldn't be something like lizard oil as medicine, right? Let Shi Yuanren find out the bottom and see what use it can be.

He had the missionaries sent back to the quarantine camp. Bai Duolu stayed in the office and waited for the opportunity to be face-to-face.

The door opened, and a pair of men and women walked in outside, it was the "Englishman" that the priest saw just now, naturally these two were not British, but Xue Ziliang and Ding Ding's wife Pan Pan, although Xue Ziliang had good English and similar temperament and demeanor, but he was always an Asian face, so he also wore a wig and a mask.

"We're doing a good job, aren't we?" Xue Ziliang was like a peacock with the snow-white lace on the cuffs - men in this era also wear lace.

"At least the French missionaries saw you." "The negotiations went very well, and I think your presence was an important factor. ”

"We didn't work in vain."

"Can I keep this dress?" Pan Pan was fascinated by the satin dress on his body, and looked in the mirror with his head scratched in the conference room.

"This is not good, if you want to buy something in the accounts of the Planning Commission, you have to ask the Planning Commission if it agrees." The clothes were bought from Macau and used in case they needed to scout the European colonies.

"That's right." Yanma pursed his lips regretfully, "Ding Ding said that I only came with him when he had everything in the new time and space, and now I don't even have to buy new clothes, and I never wore clothes from the next year in the past." ”

Xue Ziliang asked: "Does the General Executive Committee of Wen have a wine-making jihua?" ”

"Yes, the Guangzhou station is already being carried out, and it will start in Leizhou soon. What are your thoughts? ”

"I'm good at making sake." Xue Ziliang immediately began to blow his specialty: he is good at making foreign drinks such as handmade beer, whiskey, gin, vodka, etc., and his main hobby is DIY all kinds of drinks.

"These are grain wines, and you don't need to grow grapes. In fact, there are no grapes, and other fruits can also be used to make very haode fruit wine brandy. Hainan should be rich in fruit resources. I see a lot of elderberry fruit here. ”

"Oh?" Wen Deji thought that this would be a useful jishu, it was too tempting to start a winery, and cigarettes - I don't know how many times someone had suggested this, and Pan Pan's dissatisfaction with the clothes just now. It also makes sense, our current clothes are comparable to the Cultural Revolution period, and all the staff usually wear sturdy, wear-resistant and easy-to-wash Wanguo brand training uniforms, and the most fancy ones are just jackets and the like......

Isn't this the contradiction between the backward productive forces and the growing demand for material culture among the masses? Moon remembered the politics class he took in middle school. Now the environment of the traverser is rough, and if some material and cultural consumption is not provided in time, the morale is worried.

"Okay, let's look into this problem!" Moon Deji jotted down his thoughts in his notebook. After looking at Pan Pan's skirt, he called the Planning Commission and asked if he could sell the skirt to Pan Pan.

"Yes, yes, I know it's needed for intelligence activities. You can buy more skirts. And there are only three ladies who can wear this kind of skirt, and she will be asked to appear in the future. ”

So the skirt was sold to Pan Pan for 2,000 bonds. According to Wen Desi's opinion, it is definitely a great discount, this is a silk skirt, and the embroidery and handmade lace on it have to be sold for at least one or two hundred thousand RMB if you want to put it in modern time and space. But Ding Ding didn't see it that way, and when he was called to pay, he was distressed and twisted his eyebrows together.

"You're going to buy clothes and go to the women's cooperative! Anyway, we are still shareholders and can enjoy 88% off. Tintin muttered.

"It's all Chinese-style clothes there, I'm going to wear this, how beautiful it is." As he spoke, he turned around, and the eyes of several men around him lit up. Tintin's gaze was also misty.

"Let's not take it as an example." He hurriedly took Pan Pan away, lest this big Yanma make some demon moths come out.

The two extras were sent away. Bai Duolu sat with a depressed face.

"Xiaobai, your task in the future is very heavy."

"Yes, it's the trust that the Executive Committee has placed in me." Bai Duolu didn't want to do this task at all, but he had already refused to be the bishop of Lingao, and if he refused again, I am afraid that he would never be able to stand out in the crossing group.

After discussing the construction of the church with Bai Duolu, Bai Duolu left. It didn't take long for He Ying to appear in the conference room.

"Alright, He Ying, your mission is clear. I won't say much more about the French missionary, you understand. Bai Duolu's stance is a bit soft, you have to help him all the time. Pay more attention to his movements. ”

"You can rest assured, Mr. Wen. I'm going to keep an eye on them. ”

"Don't be aggressive, be good at guiding and taking advantage of it. Whether it is Catholicism or Protestantism, it will be very good for our rule if it is well guided and can be used by us. ”

"Understood."

"Also, is he still learning Chinese from you?"

"I'm studying, I'm very energetic. He also wanted someone to teach him to speak the local dialect or Cantonese. ”

"If you look for Xiong Buyou about this, he will tell you. And--" Wen Deji thought for a moment, "go to Wu De and find a few natives who can be Kao, and prepare him to develop into a cultist." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

The next day, Lu Ruohua took a regular trading ship from the Liliang Department at sea to return to Macao to consult the Jesuits. It also brought with it the need for hired craftsmen to travel through the crowd: wheel makers, canvas makers, shipbuilders, and sail makers. These are the jishu-type jobs that are in high demand at the moment - people in the industrial sector, although they know the most advanced machinery manufacturing, they don't know anything about how to make these old things.

Preparations for the joint defense meeting for the regimental training are also underway, and the propaganda offensive led by Du Wen reached a climax after the 15th day of the first lunar month. Four-fifths of the villages in Lingao have made a clear commitment that they will send people to attend the meeting.

According to preliminary statistics, there are about 400 delegates who are ready to come to the meeting, covering about 200 natural villages and 13 markets. The deputies were mainly village chiefs, clan elders, and local gentry.

In order to prepare for this meeting, Lingao Construction Corporation has expanded a carriage and horse hotel in Dongmen City to receive delegates. Dozens of women were selected from the commune to cook and clean for the conference delegates.

The largest project was outside the Dongmen City of Bairencheng, where the Lingao Construction Corporation enclosed a large area of open space and built a large stadium. The stadium has a 400-meter track - Ma Qianzhuo couldn't tell how big this stadium should be, so he used the 400-meter track of a standard stadium as the specification. In fact, whether it is the traverser or the indigenous people of Lingao, there is obviously no need for such a huge sports facility in the past five years, and the main purpose of the stadium is to meet the needs of Ma Qianzhu's favorite mass sports preparation. In order to hold mass gatherings and various ceremonies, it is necessary to have a large and spectacular stadium
