Then Chen Jialuo called a Western missionary and asked him to introduce the organizational structure and doctrinal points of Catholicism to these two Taoist people, and Lu Feiqing and Zhang Qilong listened thoughtfully.

Of course, these things can't be completed overnight, Chen Jialuo is just starting here, and let those Taoist monks worry about the rest! However, after this incident, Chen Jialuo put another task on the agenda, that is, the establishment of a religious management department.

Look at the current situation in the world, in addition to the Red Flower Society, whether it was Wang Lun in Shandong in the past, Ma Chaozhu in Henan, or even Mu Zhuolun in the northwest, they rebelled in the name of religion.

Since they will rebel when the Qing court comes, won't it be when Honghua will come to power? Chen Jialuo did not believe in such a thing, so it was necessary to establish a strict governing body to manage those sects.

Normal missionary work is just that, once someone wants to do something detrimental to the interests of the Red Flower Society in the name of this, Chen Jialuo will never agree.

Since Zhang Qilong was promised a position, he could not favor one over the other sects, so Chen Jialuo found a few high-ranking monks under his rule and the cadres of the Red Flower Society, and initially set up the framework of this department.

Then the various sects under the rule of the Red Flower Society were thoroughly registered, and they were ordered to report to the government within the specified time, and if they failed to do so within the time limit, they would be regarded as lawbreakers.

Through this method, the situation of the various factions in the government is investigated first, and then the managers of these departments sit together and carefully examine whether these factions have deceived the people, cheated money, and plotted evil deeds in the name of gods and Buddhas, and once they are investigated, they will be severely punished immediately.

At present, what needs to be strictly screened are the various schools of the White Lotus Sect, for this kind of unstable elements that run through all dynasties in China, Chen Jialuo does not intend to let it go easily, once he is caught, the head will immediately judge and publicly punish him.

The current social conditions did not allow him to supervise the finances of the various factions. However, he thought of another way, that is, to examine the qualifications of the missionaries of the various factions, and the sects must first be registered with the administration before they are allowed to spread the teachings of their own factions; Then all missionaries must pass a certification exam and be certified, which means that not everyone can preach to the believers, but must have an in-depth understanding of the ideology of their own faction and pass a rigorous examination by the administration to have this qualification.

And after having this qualification, you must also be like Xiucai. Every few years, they are re-examined, and once someone is found to be working without a license, they are immediately arrested and sent to the mine and railway to work as coolies.

If you want to become a high-ranking person such as the abbot of the temple and the master of the Taoist temple, you must also make outstanding contributions to the safflower society, which can be a report and a crackdown on illegal factions, or the results of missionary work for foreign people.

In addition to strict management, this department is also responsible for breaking down superstitions and promoting science; Universities cooperate with them to publicly demonstrate tricks such as putting their hands into oil pots and spontaneous combustion of spirit runes in crowded places, and then reveal the secrets. Exposing the methods of those magic sticks to fool people in the public, after this publicity, at least the living space of these magic sticks in various big cities has shrunk rapidly.

Then, the Red Flower Society conducted statistical surveys of temples and Taoist temples under its rule, and registered them, leaving aside the existing legal sites for the time being, and then if they wanted to build new similar places on the site of the Red Flower Society, they had to apply to the department and only after obtaining approval could they start construction.

In this way, the Red Flower Society slowly controlled these factions under its control through various means. From now on, it is unlikely that there will be people like Wang Lun and Ma Chaozhu in the land of the Red Flower Society.

Of course, things can't be done overnight, but as long as you are willing to do it with your heart. Eventually, these things will slowly get better; Chen Jialuo believes that after a long period of perseverance, these factions will not only not become an obstacle to his rule, but will also help the Red Flower Society expand overseas.

It took Chen Jialuo several months to set up the framework of this department, and since then, 1762 has passed slowly.

During this year, the Red Flower Society attacked the Satsuma Domain. Without a large-scale military campaign, the industrial base of the three provinces under its rule was gradually established, and the wealth accumulated by industrial large-scale production had given the Red Flower Society the capital to start expanding again; Now that the Red Flower Society's army has expanded to as many as 300,000 men, all the recruits have been trained, and the military is gearing up to do a big job.

On the other hand, the Qing court is here. Although the policy of regimental training was passed, and the gentry in various places began to strengthen their hometowns, build weapons, and train their ranks, the law and order in various places did not improve much. There were rumors of regimental training and oppression of the people from time to time, and the relationship between the people and the gentry became increasingly estranged.

The court was full of nobles and nobles once again took the opportunity to make trouble, and the inconclusive evidence of the regimental training was the fault of one party, and the faces of Qianlong and the Han ministers were slapped, but now there is no reason to turn back, Qianlong punished several leaders of the regimental training who did too much, but this policy was still persistently implemented.

At present, the regiments still use old-fashioned knives and guns and a small number of bird guns, and some long-term officials have seen the power of the firearms of the Red Flower Society, but now is not the time of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the power of Western countries in Asia is not so strong, and the British and the Red Flower Society are now working closely together, and they are not willing to offend the Red Flower Society because of a little petty profit, so they are unwilling to sell firearms in large quantities.

In addition, the navy of the Red Flower Society is strictly inspected, so in the north of Fujian, there are not too many muskets and cannons flowing into the hands of the regimental training, but Guangdong has obtained a firearm from Macao by virtue of its geographical convenience, but this amount is only a drop in the bucket for the entire Guangdong.

There were also people who tried to make their own muskets, but they scholars had always regarded these things as tricks and tricks, and coupled with the strict control of firearms in the Qing court, where could they find so many talents to produce muskets for a while.

"Come, Zheng'er, it's yours! It's yours, Tyre! On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Jialuo happily gave his two children money for the New Year, and the warbler Yanyan in the hall was so lively.

Hey, the children are so cute, they should be left with a better country! Chen Jialuo thought so. (To be continued......)
