Chapter 123: The Divine Stick

He inherited the memory of the previous Clifford, and knew that in this world, the status of the priest was very high, and he could sit on an equal footing with the local officials, and he also enjoyed many privileges such as tax exemption and exemption from forced labor, and even some high priests could have a huge influence on local governance.

However, this Jefferson pastor obviously did not have that much influence, so the Oscar county ordinance was just a courtesy to him.

Clifford snorted coldly, sat in his seat with a straight face and said nothing, he didn't do any work in the first place, and he was not interested in people who cheated people out of money, and it was even more unfair that they could occupy a high position in the social hierarchy. Coming from later generations, Clifford was a staunch atheist, who always believed that a good life was created with his own hands, and that anyone who counted on the gods to help him was sick in the head.

Therefore, in his heart, these respected so-called priests really do not have a big role as a peasant, at least people are creating social value with their own hands, plus he is here to be a bad guy this time, so he took this opportunity to show all his dissatisfaction with them, snorted coldly in his nose, and was extremely disdainful, not to mention getting up to greet him, and he didn't even move.

Clifford's attitude made Jefferson very unhappy, he has been a pastor for decades, and has been respected for decades, no matter how big the official, as long as he sees his pastorship, he will always be polite and polite, no one has ever dared to be like Clifford, ignore him, after all, people in this era are very ignorant, ignorant people believe in the so-called ghosts and gods, and they monopolize the right to speak for ghosts and gods, and become the so-called spokesmen of God, so they enjoy a lofty position among the vast number of foolish people.

To put it mildly, without their cooperation, many of the government's orders would not be carried out, so the government has always been very polite to such people, and even the king of the Rhine Kingdom has to invite the pope living in the Kingdom of Prussia to give him a lecture on the Bible every year, as a sign of respect for himself and the entire Rhine Kingdom for people like priests. One came and went, and naturally spoiled them.

Clifford didn't believe this, and he realized that such people would be a stumbling block to his own development. First of all, they did not work, but they also mastered a large number of means of production and subsistence, and in the name of recruiting believers, they kept a large number of slaves, and they did not have to pay taxes, which caused the wealth of the country to flow into their personal pockets. Second, and even more terrifying, because they have a monopoly on the power to talk to the so-called God, they can interpret the Bible in the way that best suits their interests, which means that they have control over public opinion, and if they do something detrimental to their interests in the future, they can imagine how much pressure they will face in the future.

This made Clifford not only think of an organization he saw when he read the online article-Donglin Party.

According to many gods, if this organization is not resolved, it will definitely be in chaos.

Jefferson saw Clifford's disdainful and even somewhat disdainful look, he was very unhappy, he was not a fool, he could think of it with his toes, he could think that Von Bock invited him this time to use him to recruit Andubon, in the final analysis, he still had to ask for himself, so he has always faced the government with a detached mentality, and now seeing that this young man in the government can't dump himself, his self-esteem can't help but be hurt, and a wave of anger rises in his heart, and his face has changed several times.

Von Bock secretly squinted at him, and couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed, it seems that this kid has already entered the set, the next thing is to do enough play, just tie the set firmly, in order to avoid the negotiation atmosphere being destroyed at the beginning, Von Bock hurriedly went up and grabbed Pastor Jefferson's hand with one hand, and smiled earnestly: "Mr. Pastor, when I listened to your lecture with Brother Dupont, it was really like hearing the voice of God, which purified our hearts, if I remember correctly, it should have been ten years ago." Now that I think about it, it's like yesterday, and those days are really nostalgic. ”

Hearing von Bock praising him, Jefferson couldn't help but feel refreshed, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a faint smile, but he would not be stunned by these few rhetorical words, and said with a faint smile: "You are all people who have been taught by God, and his old man has already remembered your name in his heart, so you must always be vigilant and not do bad things, otherwise God will definitely know, and after he dies, God will let him go to hell." ”

This sentence is obviously a warning to von Bock, you kid don't want to play any tricks.

It's a pity that von Bock never believed in God, he only believed in power and conspiracy, and he could live his life well, no matter what after death, when he listened to you, an old boy, it was entirely because DuPont that fool respected you, and Lao Tzu listened to you there to annoy you in order to slap him.

However, more than ten years of bandit career and a few years of government career have long trained the old boy Von Bock as slippery as a loach, he will definitely not show disdain for God, and hurriedly took Jefferson's hand, led him respectfully into the seat, and said with a courteous smile: "Mr. Pastor, don't worry, although I have fallen into the grass all these years, and later accepted the recruitment of the government, it can be said that I have seen all kinds of people, bandits, and soldiers, but there is one thing, no matter what I do, I have never violated morality." , if you don't pay attention to righteousness, you will definitely be punished by the gods. As he spoke, he looked scared.

Pastor Jefferson was very satisfied with his attitude, no matter what, it is good for you kid to have a sense of awe in his heart, and if he has a sense of awe, you don't dare to play tricks, which gave everyone face, sat down generously, and said with a smile: "Battalion Commander von Bock, I want to thank you this time, please invite me to eat in such a good restaurant." ”

"Where, where?" Von Bock hurriedly poured a glass of wine for the Reverend Jefferson, brought it to him respectfully, and said, "Mr. Reverend, you will be out of sight if you say so. You are God's messenger, and it is my gospel to be able to come here and eat my meal, and maybe God will bless me one day. ”

The corners of Pastor Jefferson's mouth curled slightly, obviously enjoying this title very much, they are gods who rely on God to eat in the final analysis, first blow God omnipotence, and then blow their relationship with God how iron, so that they can fool the people, watch those fools kowtow to themselves, and take money to make themselves eat and drink spicy.
