There will be a great demand for rigidity in the future of Pingao. "Wu Shitu is bitter and pays a priest." The land will be tight for years. ”

"Lack of land?" Lu Ruohua shook his head. "Dean Wu. There is a lot of wasteland here in Lingao. ”

"There will be a lack of it. Don't you want to leave some more property for the church?

Under Wu Shimang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Lu Ruohua bought a piece of land next to Bairen Monastery.

This foreigner just doesn't understand the power of the commodity economy, Wu Shimang thought of the effort to persuade him at the beginning. In the future, the high price of land will definitely rise very high, whether it is selling or building a house for its own use, it will bring great benefits to the church. Wu Shimang was not at all enthusiastic about religious issues. However, he is very dedicated, and since he has chosen religion as a profession in this plane, the church's property must be well managed in order to reflect his value.

Wu Shimang returned to the monastery, and the nuns who were cleaning at the door hurriedly came over to kiss his hand, watching the dark-skinned and wrinkled grandmother kiss his ring, Dean Wu couldn't help but think that it would be nice if this was a beautiful nun. It's a pity that the current situation is that the dozen or so nuns in the convent are all grandmother-level.

"Bai Sifeng is back. I'm waiting in the office for your nun to report to him respectfully.

"Oh, he's back, too." Wu Shimang nodded.

Bai Duolu has been following Lu Ruohua to preach to the Li people who have come to trade in Nanbao for the past few months, and it is said that the results are not bad.

Wu Shimang walked through the gate, the scale of the Bairen Monastery was not large, and there were no towering buildings. It's just a mix of Chinese and Western courtyards, with three entrances before and after. The first entrance is the office of the seminary. Because of the poor conditions, the monastery did not have its own prayer room, which was shared with the Hundred Churches. The last two entrances are dormitories, classrooms, and handicraft workshops, where nuns and "bandits" who have been forcibly taken in are housed, and most of these bandits are the families of ordinary small bandits, which are not very harmful. After a period of religious brainwashing, those who pass the assessment of the General Administration of Political Security can arrange a way out normally, and those who do not meet the requirements will be sent to labor camps.

He walked into his office. Bai Duolu was already waiting for him inside. Bai Duolu's originally very white face became dark, obviously he was also sleeping in Nanbao and running around, looking very depressed about the maid revolution, he heard about it in Nanbao, but unfortunately he had the identity of this Si Feng, and it was inconvenient to openly make trouble for women. But I was also secretly fascinated in my heart.

I don't know if I have my own share when I divide the maid? Xiao Zishan wouldn't really treat him as a monk and ignore him directly, right? Bai Duolu thought about how to quietly remind the chief of staff not to forget the benefit.

Fortunately, he resolutely resisted Mr. Wen's request back then, and only served in the church as a secular person, otherwise the happiness of his body in the second half of his life would be over. His faith was not strong, though. But he can't do it with the attitude of using religion as a tool as thoroughly as Wu Shimang. Seeing this fake abbot walk into the office with a red face, his complexion was surprisingly good, and Bai Duolu knew that he must be mixing well in Bairen City. Each time he came back to report on his work, the churches and monasteries either expanded in size or the facilities were upgraded to a new level. It seems that the activities of the manager in the past are still very strong, and the church has gradually gained scale in his hands.

"Xiaobai, how is your body? Look good-looking, and the missionary effect is very good. Wu Shimang sat down.

"You call me Bai Duolu," said Bai Duolu a little bitterly, "and you have to say, "spread the gospel." You can't use the phrase "missionary." Such a neutral word. ”

At Bai Duolu's insistence, Wu Shimang was secretly baptized, and Bai Duolu was psychologically unable to accept a person who had not been baptized at all to run the church. After the baptism, Bai Duolu also gave him some religious knowledge lessons, and circled a few simple doctrinal primers for him to read, so as not to make jokes when he presided over the work of the church. Now it seems that this duke has not made much progress in this area.

"Well, Christian, well, no, the lambs have increased quite a bit."

"The effect is significant." Bai Duolu said simply, "Don't talk about this, this time you hurriedly asked me to come back before the conference, what is the matter?" ”

"I just thought of letting you rest and rest, and the conditions in Nanbao are not as good as here. Besides, it would be no fun to accompany the priest. Wu Shimang said and picked up the thermos and poured him a cup of tea, "There is also the need to discuss the future direction of our church." ”

Bai Duolu thought that this person was really addicted to being the dean. It's time to think about the future of the church. Bai Duolu knew that Mr. Wen and the leaders of the Executive Committee had no religious concept at all, and they were naked pragmatists. The church is inevitably just a tool in their hands, and Wu Shimang's so-called "future direction of the church" is nothing more than talking about how to make the church more haode a tool for crossing the group. I can do it myself, too

Bai Duolu himself had no interest in religious professions at all. He is a printer, and he does surveying and field surveying, and now he is also working part-time in the remote exploration team, and when he goes out to preach, he does surveying and mapping by the way, and sometimes he also conducts social surveys for the social work office. Either way. He thought it was more interesting than following the priest's ass and preaching.

"How to develop is not up to the Executive Committee." Bai Duolu said indifferently, "What's the matter, isn't the church itself made up by adhering to the will of the executive committee?" ”

"Xiaobai" Wu Shimang just spoke, and when he saw Bai Duolu's unhappy eyes, he quickly changed his words, "Old Bai, what are you doing." The way of thinking is too outdated. There are so many things to lead in, how can it be exhaustive and think about everything for us? This kind of thing is to exert subjective initiative. After all, they don't have access to practice, and they don't know the situation at the grassroots level as we do. He simply stood up and circled around the office, "This is the second plenary meeting." Our church should come up with a comprehensive and proper development plan for the consideration of the leaders of the new world.

"Yes, yes, but what new tricks can be created by religious activities?" Bai Duolu thought that it was nothing more than education and charity, which was the most commonly used means. Lu Ruohua went to Nanbao to preach, although he could not engage in education, but he also started with simple good deeds.

"It's not a trick." Wu Shimang shook his head, "Our church should strive for the important task of doing the people's ideological work. Now the brainwashing work for the indigenous people is not enough, and there is no special agency to do it, it is a blank spot" Xiao He's conclusion is of course grounded, if you think that Dean Wu has only been engaged in capital construction this year, by the way, Sister Yu is very wrong. He was not interested in doctrinal studies, but in his free time he read many books and papers on church history. He also often exchanged ideas with the disciples and took a lot of notes on the dynamics of thoughts. Wu Shimang believes that the spiritual life of the indigenous people in Lingao is extremely empty, and there is not even much religious life that is the most common in traditional society. Limited to the problem of economic capacity, although there are several temples in this county, most of them are in a half-dead state, and few temples can have resident monks and Taoists. All kinds of folk superstitions are very marketable, and witches and gods who do not leave their jobs are widespread.

"At present, the propaganda of indigenous people is still very insufficient, except for a few general slogans, there is a lot of concern for indigenous people within the system, and there is a serious lack of attention to indigenous people outside the system, and there is no systematic brainwashing work for them. I can't see a problem now, but it will be a big problem in the future! Wu Shimang said very seriously and seriously.

"The church should seize this opportunity to take advantage of the gap in the beliefs of the local people, and the situation of superstition is rampant to promote to all aspects of their social life in a timely manner, instead of engaging in small charitable activities."

Bai Duolu was taken aback. Unexpectedly, Wu Shimang, the director of personnel recruitment and training, was really ambitious. In this sense, he is positioning the church at the level of a "state church." As soon as Wu Shimang said this, Bai Duolu also felt that the Crossing Group was too hidden in the field of superstructure and was too focused on climbing the science and technology tree to develop productivity.

"What do you want to do?" Zi Taro couldn't help but be attracted by his grandiose jihua.

"It's up to you to tell you." Wu Shimang said, "I want to start with weddings and funerals

Bai Duolu was puzzled for a few minutes, and then suddenly came to his senses.

"This is unlikely, the liliang of customs is very strong." Bai Duolu knew that customs and habits were very stubborn, and the social environment would hardly change without major changes.

"Customs and habits will become, the premise is that there is a strong liliang to impact this society, Wu Shimang is confident," now the crossing group is impacting this traditional society, to change the social life and customs, this is a unique opportunity! ”

Starting with the customs and habits of daily life, the people gradually became accustomed to the existence of the church. The so-called faith is mostly superstitious among the people. According to the main theory of Malinowski's "school of social functioning", superstition and religion are a way for society to release its own pressures to stabilize the social structure, and if the pressure does not disappear, superstition cannot be eliminated, and new superstitions will only emerge one after another, unless society itself is eliminated.

Of course, the empire of the future will not be a paradise on earth, and since social pressure exists, it will be an effective way to provide the people with the so-called "spiritual opium" to give them the assurance of the afterlife.

"Rather than allowing superstitions, including cults with a high degree of danger, to occupy them, we should provide them with a faith." Wu Shimang was apparently well thought out to "extend the influence of the Church to every level of society, ensuring that the future empire would remain highly unified in the realm of the people's mind."
