"Your Majesty, this is a bit difficult for me, I have never been a Taoist priest or a monk, I am not very good at this...... And we don't have manpower, so we can't let all the craftsmen become monks! Luo Youde was more resistant to the task assigned by Hong Tao, pretending to be a divine envoy was at most a big lie to Hong Tao, but it meant more to him. People in this era basically believe in the existence of gods and ghosts, and he is tantamount to blaspheming the gods every day, and he is mentally stressed.

"Don't worry about manpower, I'll give you more than twenty people first, that is, I will bring those who may be sick. They have already died once, many things can be seen better, I will do the ideological work, and let them solve the specific things, you just need to pretend to be a mud bodhisattva who can breathe in the temple. "Hong Tao originally brought Luo Youde here with the intention of copying the economic methods of Jinhewan, using his merchant brains to trade with the local Indian tribes, and then influencing these tribes to move closer to him. But now it seems that this road is not going to go for the time being. The economic development here is too lagging behind, and a merchant who can bring goods is obviously not as influential as a magic stick, so whether Luo Youde likes it or not, he has to be allowed to change his career.

"Then our whaling plan, shipyard, mining, and horse breeding plan are still not done?" Luo Youde is still trying to exonerate himself, he would rather walk the streets and alleys with a package on his back to be a hawker than play with a magic stick all day long.

"Don't delay, the more you pretend to be like this oracle. The smoother these efforts will be. In the past, we had to build a factory near the village. You'll have to convince the tribal elders to agree. Not anymore. Let's just say that it is the will of the sun god, no one dares to oppose it, and to oppose you is to oppose God, who dares? Without your hands, your believers will have to tear him apart! With the name of an oracle, if you go to other tribes to trade in the future, it will also be a guarantee for your personal safety. Hong Tao blocked Luo Youde's last retreat, but he did have a point. Judging from the reactions of the people in their tribe in the past few days, it can be proved that a fake god is much more useful than a real merchant here.

"Okay...... No, Swann and I have something to do, what are you doing, Your Majesty? Luo Youde didn't say anything, and accepted this glorious and sacred task head-on, but he quickly reacted. Swan is in charge of the military, and he is responsible for fooling people, so wouldn't Hong Tao, the mastermind, have nothing to do.

"I'm not at all lighter than you two, I'm going to go around the land and see where there are mines, where there's oil, where there's coal, and where there's a good city to build. If we don't change, I want to move my mouth all day long. Hong Tao crossed his fingers and counted his work to Luo Youde.

“…… I'm going with you to meet the patients. It's good to meet each other, and he will be a monk in the temple in the future. It's ridiculous to think that I Luo Youde, the chairman of the dignified Strait Company, has become the host, ......! "Luo Youde really has nothing to say this time, he can't do any of the jobs that Hong Tao said, it's all technical work. This is called bullying people with knowledge, bullying people to death.

I don't know if life on the sea can cure leprosy, anyway, none of the family members of those leprosy patients who came to the Americas with Hong Tao fell ill, and when Hong Tao appeared in the quarantine area where they were temporarily staying, these people finally saw a glimmer of hope in their originally lifeless eyes, the hope of living.

This malevolent man was their hope of survival, and since he could save them from a situation where life was worse than death, and perhaps provide them with a new life, they didn't want to be treated like cattle wherever they went.

"You may all be Christians, but Christ can't protect you, I can! Not only you, but every once in a while, a group of people with the same fate as you will be sent, I want you to start your life here again, I don't know if you are willing to do so? "Hong Tao did not disappoint these people, and when he came up, he gave them what they needed the most, and lived like people!

“…… Well, since you don't speak, I'll assume that you are all willing. But I have one condition, in order to be reborn here, you must make a break with the old world, a clean separation, and dedicate yourself to the new God, and your whole life is given by the new God, and you must give all to it. Specifically, you need to be God's servants, to go around preaching God's greatness, so that more people can be shrouded in God's light, and who can't do it? These people made Hong Tao confused, and they didn't know how to answer. Hong Tao was also afraid that they didn't understand, so he gave them an in-depth explanation.

"Your Excellency...... Do you mean to make us missionaries? This time someone finally understood, and a tall man trembled to say his own understanding.

Yes, God needs you now, and you should repay God's generosity. What's your name? "Someone picked up, this conversation will continue, Hong Tao plans to give this smart man a reward.

"Clerk, Joseph, Your Excellency." The tall man also sensed the call of the goddess of fate, and his face showed a little surprise.

"Joseph, you will not be a scribe in the future, but the high priest of the Helios Cult! These people are all missionaries under you, and the specific religious affairs are slowly consulted with the Luo Shen Envoy, and stand up. Hong Tao casually threw out a big hat and fastened it firmly on Joseph's head, and he couldn't take it off if he wanted to.

This is called the role of role models, these people were originally the families of merchants and craftsmen in the city, and they did not read much, but now they have suddenly changed from a family member of a leper who is hated by everyone to a priest, who is not envious and logical. As for whether priests, missionaries, and priests are the titles of clergy in a religious system, whatever they say, they can be counted as they please, just a title, and you don't have to care too much.

"Can a woman become a priest?" At this moment, a thin voice sounded in the crowd.

"Aniah, huh? You're Aya's sister, right? You and your brother are still young, so you should study in a Cult school first, and then work for God when you are older. The sun god shines on the earth, and wherever it can shine, anyone can work for the god, it has nothing to do with gender, it all depends on your loyalty to the god. Hong Tao was about to vomit himself, but for the sake of his own great cause, he had to do enough routines to endure nausea.

"I will definitely study hard and work for the Divine Envoy in the future...... And my brother! "The little girl has experienced the mutation of the family and the discrimination of the world, and has become extraordinarily sensible. Even if it is just a straw in front of her, she has to desperately grasp it, as long as she can return to human life, she is not afraid of all difficulties.

With Joseph and Ania taking the lead, Hong Tao's persuasion work went very smoothly. These twenty-four people have completely lost trust in the original church and even society, and it is the previous church and society that have turned them into people and ghosts, and it is difficult for them to be nostalgic for the past. As for Hong Tao, who rescued them from hell, they have a stronger sense of trust, and they are very consistent in their choice when faced with the eternal choice of survival or destruction. So in a matter of days, the Cult of the Sun God added nineteen more missionaries, one priest, and four students from the clergy.

Joseph was a very competent priest, he had been a clerk in the parish, he was literate, and he was familiar with the Christian set. The most valuable thing is that he has a very good brain, even if he sees that this Sun God Sect is not very reliable, he does not show any displeasure. He was well aware of his situation, whether the Helios Cult was true or not, it was the beginning of his new life. Now is not the time to consider the true and the false, the key issue is how to make the fake real, so that the scale of the Sun God Cult will become larger and larger, and his sacrifice will have practical significance.

In this respect, he worked harder than both Hong Tao and Luo Youde, and under the guidance of Hong Tao's founding principles, he borrowed some of the teachings of Christianity, and it took only three days to write a book of the teachings of the Sun God Cult in Latin. This doctrine not only includes the general structure of the church, the development model and the establishment of dioceses, etc., but also some fabricated stories, which fully illustrate the holiness and power of God. If it weren't for seeing that this doctrine was written by Joseph, Hong Tao would have to take out a pistol and destroy him on the spot, this Nima is too thoughtful, it can't be a pyramid scheme who has crossed over!

Get! Now Hong Tao saves trouble, he doesn't have to bite the pen every night to make up stories, and a little change of Joseph's doctrine is a perfect training material. For the audience of the religion, there is no need for too complicated religious tomes, they can't understand or understand. The simpler the better, just give them a belief and make them half-believed. Those miracles will soon spread among the tribes, and every now and then they will be shown in public, and they will be able to dispel their last doubts and devote themselves to the feet of the sun god and become the god's people.

As for what to do in the future? Hong Tao is not worried at all, any religion has gone through this process. What was originally very simple will be over-interpreted by those who care about it in the future, and then form a complex and huge classic. Just like red researchers, what Cao Xueqin probably didn't consider at the beginning, they can also find it out between the lines, and there are a lot of testimonies, as if they are all Cao Xueqin's reincarnation. This is a unique function of human beings, and as long as you can ensure that miracles continue to appear, you don't have to worry about the number of religious talents. They will come out one after another, only too much, not too little.
