Chapter 70: The Rise of the Harvest City
The autumn harvest is the busiest season in Yidi, and the whole Yidi is immersed in the joy of the autumn harvest. Now the three are almost shrouded in the influence of the Apocalypse Church, Lin Tian's identity as the sect leader is actually unknown to the ordinary people, and the people who raze the land only know the name of the Apocalypse Sect, but do not know the name of the sect leader in the mouths of thousands of disciples.
After nearly a year of development, the Apocalypse Church has appeared in every village in Yidi, and the mission area of each church may be several villages, but this can not organize the enthusiasm of the missionaries. The burden on the shoulders of every church is not light, especially the burden on the person in charge of every church.
The head of the village church is usually the black and white cloaked father, while the head of the city church is the bishop. The church in the city is a branch of each tribe and is responsible for governing the subordinate churches of that tribe.
Today's church has a monopoly on influence, and has long since thrown off the influence of the three ministries. For the sake of fairness of the three divisions, Lin Tian wanted to separate the Heavenly Apocalypse Church from the Heavenly Alliance. And the Heavenly Alliance will officially replace the Ghost Fang, and the name of the Ghost Fang will no longer exist.
This is the best way that Lin Tiansi has figured out now, and with the continuous development of the Apocalypse Church, its influence has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the Apocalypse Church has no real power, it has the support of the Heavenly Alliance behind it, and no matter how you look at it, it has political overtones. This is not conducive to the peaceful development of the three departments, although Lin Tian has already communicated with the leaders of the second department, but things will not stagnate.
Especially when the influence of the church is getting bigger and bigger, there will inevitably be some power struggles in the church, and the people of the other two departments will think that the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is actually trying to occupy the razed land, to be precise, the Heavenly Alliance behind the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, that is, the people of the ghost side want to occupy the razed land. As soon as the problem is magnified, rumors will always spread, triggering contradictions and causing disharmony and instability.
In order to avoid intensifying the conflict, Lin Tian will build a new city between the three departments, called Fenglin City, as the headquarters of the Heavenly Apocalypse Church, and the other three cities are all branches, with average status, and no one can say who is higher than the others.
Lin Tian named Fenglin, which means to praise the abundant harvest and prosperity of Yidi. Lin Tian came out of the Li tribe step by step, if the Enlightenment Sect wants to break away from the Heavenly Alliance today, it means that Lin Tian will also break away from the Heavenly Alliance and the Li Clan. Lin Tian has the positions of the leader of the Heavenly Alliance and the leader of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and the organizational structure of the Heavenly Alliance is quite perfect, and the heads of the two major departments can take charge alone, and they are talented people.
The Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is different, even if the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect has been developing for nearly a year, there are very few people among them who can stand alone. Moreover, what the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect values most is people's virtue and prestige, which need to be accumulated over time.
During his tenure, he was loved by the local people, so he agreed to serve as one of the eight priests, responsible for the daily preaching and interpretation of the teachings.
In fact, since the development of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, there are still many vacant positions in the sect. So this is the reason why Lin Tian can't let go, the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is not yet mature, and if there is no guidance from Lin Tian, he is afraid that he will go astray.
So Lin Tian stepped down from the post of leader of the Heavenly Alliance and handed it over to Dolu, who has both the leader of the alliance and the minister of civil affairs, which can be described as a capable person who works hard.
Fenglin City is located in the area of Daliang Mountain, which is located at the junction of the three parts, and the terrain at the foot of the mountain is flat, and it is convenient for people to come and go. Daliang Mountain was originally a three-regardless zone, a mixed land of fish and dragons, full of darkness of Yidi. And the advent of the Apocalypse Sect completely expelled this darkness and returned the green mountains and rivers here.
Fenglin City is located at the foot of the mountain, but the site of the main altar of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is located in the mountains. Lin Tian was particularly fond of a double luan peak on the mountain, so he chose the site here, Daliang Mountain was originally a barren mountain, but now that Lin Tian is here, it will no longer be desolate here. How could the main altar of the Apocalypse Sect be in a nameless place, so the Shuangluan Peak was named Hump.
The hump was used as the main altar of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, which was very suitable for Lin Tian's mind. When the time comes, a suspension bridge will be erected between the two peaks, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the scenery of the city on the suspension bridge. This is the reason why Lin Tian likes the hump, not only the scenery here is pleasant, the environment is good, suitable for this kind of church away from the hustle and bustle, but also allows people to quietly concentrate on self-cultivation and not be disturbed by the world.
After the farm was busy, the Fenglin City project officially broke ground. The construction of a new city and a church altar is the largest project in Yidi. The project money was not only paid from the World Chamber of Commerce, but also supported by the other two ministries. In the face of Lin Tian's release of kindness, can the two of them know anything? Don't mean it?
It is not only reflected in money and materials, but also in the provision of labor. The second department has recruited a large number of laborers to build this large project in anticipation of its early completion.
At the labor point, Lin Tian said with a smile, "It's you who come to earn my money, 2 old foxes." ”
In this regard, Lin Tian just said it casually, but he didn't mind. This project is so huge, Guangtianmeng can't eat it, so it's not bad to divide some of the other two parts, and it can also boost the domestic demand of the entire Yidi.
Ever since the pulley was used on the wheels of the water, there have been countless applications since then. For example, in the construction of a suspension bridge between the humps, to pull up a rope thicker than a human arm, you only need to erect a pulley device on the peak. Use a strong rope to place on a pulley, tie one end to a thick rope, and tie a stone to the other end to pull up the thick rope.
This is much easier than using manual pulling, and the same is true for transporting materials from the base of the mountain to the peak, so the construction progress of the project can be greatly accelerated.
In winter, the construction of the three straight roads planned by Fenglin City began to be put into construction. What should you do if you encounter a mountain peak that is more or less insurmountable on the three straight roads from Fenglin Castle?
At this time, Lin Tian provided a perfect solution, building a bridge in the water and opening the road in the mountains. The bridge is easy to erect, after all, there is no particularly large river in Yidi except for the frustrated water. However, there are many large mountain ranges.
Under the "fire and water shock" method, the straight road successfully solves this problem, of course, the route of the straight road is to avoid complex terrain as much as possible. Naturally, large mountain ranges cannot be excavated, and smaller mountain ranges can still open a way from the mountainside by boiling water with fire, and there is definitely no technology for tunneling. If you come across low-lying land, fill it with rocks to keep the straight as straight as possible.
If you really can't avoid the terrain of mountains and rivers, you can only use the last method, which will build a transfer station in a place that you can't cross, change the direction of travel at the transfer station, and change back to the direction at the next transfer station, but this is a detour, but there is no way to do it.
By the beginning of spring, the Fenglin city wall was largely completed, the main body of the Tianqi Sect was completed, and the straight road was mostly built. Spring is coming, and when it comes to the season of spring plowing and spring planting, laborers naturally have to go home in large quantities to cultivate. Therefore, the progress of the Fenglin City project has slowed down.
However, with the end of spring ploughing and spring planting, the laborers have returned to continue building. By the beginning of summer, the Fenglin City project was finally completed. All that's left is a few little details, little things.
Fenglin city wall body is made of huge stones, the wall is more than 4 zhang high, about 2 zhang wide, it can be said to be a male city in Yidi. The main altar of the Apocalypse Sect is divided into 2 parts, which are built on 2 peaks of the hump, one peak is the teaching area, and the other is the living and accommodation area. The main building material of the main altar is mainly wood and stone, and the main body of the main altar is a high-tower building, about 5 zhang, compared with the short building next to it, the main building is particularly majestic.
The main building is the center of the main altar, which is the place where the Apocalypse Sect handles daily affairs and high-level deliberations, and is called the Tianji Tower.
In the beginning, Fenglin City was only composed of followers and followers of the Apocalypse Sect. Later, with the opening of the straight road, more and more traveling merchants passed through Fenglin City and stopped in the city, and more and more people took Fenglin City as a transit place. Many people saw business opportunities, and more and more people were doing business in the city.
In just a few months, the city was already very prosperous, and the population of the city with daily activities reached more than 10,000 people, which attracted many other wealthy people from the three tribes to settle in the city.
After the establishment of Fenglin City, it has become the spiritual and cultural center of Yidi, and it is a place of yearning for many believers. Then its prominent geographical location allowed him to gradually overtake Fucheng and become a new economic center, and Fenglin City was a large transit point.
As more and more people came to Fenglin City, in order to maintain order and daily law and order, the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect set up a city guard. The number of people is not large, only 2,000 people, all of whom are composed of believers, maintaining daily law and order and other issues. The guards will not be involved in anything, they will only patrol the city in normal times, and only those who enter the city will not make trouble, and they will not pay attention to you at all.
Of course, it is not a thing to be happy about being taken away as soon as you make a fuss. Making trouble in the city and being taken away is often the greatest disrespect to the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, as well as disrespect to the sect leader in the mouth of the daily disciples, and the sect leader in the mouth of the disciples is naturally Lin Tian.
A sect composed of believers often believes in a certain god or unknown mystical beliefs, and the Apocalypse Sect is different, Lin Tian has been teaching people to believe in the true concept from the beginning, the faith of the believers is a wonderful world, as long as everyone works towards this aspect, there will always be a day when it will be realized.
However, under the worship of the believers, the sect leader, who rarely shows up, seems to have become one of their beliefs. His dogma is the truth of the world, and he is perfect as if he were a god. This is often glorified by the congregations below, after all, the denomination needs an example, such a positive image to support their faith.
In fact, Lin Tian didn't like his current life at all. The huge hall seemed to have become his cage, imprisoning him day after day, so that he had endless things to deal with here.
Lin Tian naturally didn't want to stay here every day, he still had the dream of going south. So Lin Tian was thinking about a plan, to be precise, to establish an organization within the sect, to replace his rights and responsibilities, and help him do things, so that he would have the opportunity to do his own thing.
