Chapter 24: New Doctrine
Gawain nodded, and then said that it was not convenient here, and that we would go to the cellar on the lower level of this building to talk at once. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was then that Agnes and Winromina arrived at the synagogue with the convoy, and it took them some time to make their way through the bustling crowds and stalls on the periphery, and then one caravan after another entered the double doors of the synagogue, and the drivers and guards shouted at the cattle and parked them all in the open field in front of the warehouse.
"Come down, come down." The little sunfish pulled the sleeping officer a little roughly, forced her to stand with her, and then asked the rest of the court maids who had been sent with Wen Ruominna to line up for her count.
In the midst of the busyness, several Paulians, dressed in black, came to her and told her that she would not be able to reach Sebastian City tonight, so she would rest in the hall of the synagogue for the time being, and that the Archon of the Golden Hand had made arrangements for your lodging and boarding.
"Please excuse ......" After hearing this, the sleeping officer immediately timidly asked to speak.
"Say."
"His Royal Highness the Great Lord Patron is also resting here tonight, isn't he? So can I do my duty, help the chief guarantor prepare the room to be cleaned, and some health measures? The sleeping officer pinched her belt and said that she obviously wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the little sunfish's obscenity and go to plead with Gawain again.
"Didn't you see how fast and far the big brown bear was pulled by the beautiful tail of the female fox just now, and you still need to tidy up the bedroom? You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight, and the plan for the canal locks has been rejected, but you will have to consult with me whether it is round or herringbone instead. The little sunfish first sarcastically vetoed, and then when it came to the "lock plan", he couldn't help but make the sleeping officer's back tremble.
Just as they were heading to the pavilion area, a candle was lit in the cellar under the tree-lined building, and Gao Wen sighed, "I didn't expect that there was wine brewed in the cellar?" The reserves are not small. ”
"Although we don't drink alcohol, it doesn't prevent us from selling alcohol." The Holy Sister smiled and lit the candlestick, "Now that the Christians have seized the Levant from the Muhammads, as you might expect, the whole sea is beginning to boil, and although wars break out from time to time, there is trade everywhere. And the money is getting more and more scarce, everyone is trapped in the fear of 'lack of money' and 'no money', and the gold, silver and even copper coins minted by all the kingdoms in the past cannot keep up with the flow of trade, so Ingrena's silk, the refined salt produced in your salt lake, the woolen fabrics and wine I have here, and the saffron spices can be directly traded. There's no good in brewing more and stocking up, how? Don't sell it, give me the answer, lay Stephen. Gawain. ”
"That's right....... Did Anna have any letters to hand over to you in private recently? Gawain leaned on the side of the barrel in the cellar and suddenly asked.
The Holy Sister did not hide it, "She has always been very concerned about the construction of the Pauline market town. Unlike her deceased father, this little dot is not interested in coercing us to convert our faith, she is only concerned with taxes. Therefore, in the letter, she proposed to classify the market towns here into three types: 'farmer', 'tool' and 'workshop'. Thinking about it, the holy sister raised three fingers and said to Gawain, "The so-called farmer's market town should be leaning on the edge of the swamp and forest, and concentrate on animal husbandry, farming, and industries such as sheep's cheese, butter, wool, and salted fish; The tool market town should produce all kinds of utensils needed by the city and workshops, and should be located on both sides of rivers and roads to facilitate transportation; Finally, there is the workshop type, and Anna suggested in my letter to me that I vigorously promote wool weaving here, but the number of workshops required for wool weaving is so many that there are now twelve market towns, and I have not been able to give birth to a workshop market town. ”
Hearing this, Gawain laughed, "Anna's suggestion is actually completely correct, the plateau is the most suitable area for large-scale sheep herds, and with the fact that we have just promoted the Anglas sheep, if we can build both Meritene and Sebastian into wool weaving centers, then this will be the most important source of abundance, as will Cilicia." In addition, Anna has her own personal purpose in wooing you in this way: she wants to hold you up and hold down Ingrana's Cale Adio Castle, the center of the silk weaving industry. ”
"It's not all about balancing us women, after all, Ingrid gave birth to your eldest son, which is a certain threat to her, and I haven't had children so far. Dukas poses little threat. She generously gave the market town of Paul's pie tax reductions and even tax concessions, and every time you came she gave you many thin coats of sheep's intestines. The holy sister put her hands on her chin and frowned, "Okay, these things have nothing to do with the question I just asked you, right?" ”
"Of course there is." Gawain was mysterious, "I can foresee that in the future, Ingrid will not be able to compete with you." Although Ingrida is also a very shrewd woman, she is almost equal to fighting alone, but you have the organization of 'Paulicists' as support, and after a long time, it is naturally not the same. ”
"You mean, the synagogue system?"
"Well, the current synagogue system of the Paulineites is more effective than the monastic system of the Frankish land. It has quickly spawned many settlements and agribusiness centers, and it should not be surprising why you have been able to grow 30,000 new believers in such a short period of time. Because the synagogue system is cultivated while farming, producing, and preaching, the believers will develop as much as we Paulians cultivate as much land and pasture. Gawain clenched his fists and said vigorously, indeed very much like a pious layman who cares about religious affairs, which made the holy sister also happy, "And once you and my Paulicians are strong enough, whether it is Orthodox or Catholic, I will no longer pay attention to it, I will transform the entire Roman Empire and create a new type of church that is truly loyal to me, with Paulicians and Reformation as the backbone." ”
At this moment, the holy sister who heard the latter words, her eyebrows gradually flattened, but her lips curled up in surprise, "Hey......" Obviously, she was in a state of ignorance.
Gawain continued, "Now I am using Catholicism against the Roman Empire, which has gained a lot of benefits so far, but its flaws are also obvious. That is, even if Constantinople can be occupied in the future, the flag will have to listen to the words of the Holy See. But what is the Holy See, it was originally just an ordinary diocese under the jurisdiction of St. Peter, and then it gradually rose to the transcendent status of the 'prince of the districts'. Here and to the east are mostly the dioceses of St. Paul, St. James and St. Mark, and it is of course impossible for me to be subservient to Pope Peter after I occupy them in the future. I have entrusted you with the secret study of the new doctrine to plan for the future. The future Roman Empire, of course, will have a leader, an anglican, an army, and a faith. Holy sister, this is the answer I give you. ”
"But now that most of the world is Catholic and Orthodox churches, I am almost ready for doctrine, but how can I change people's beliefs?" Of course, Kabeamia doesn't worry about what to think, but how to do it.
"Go back to the Bible, and promote the printing press, and directly establish the right to interpret the Bible to the general public." In response to this, Gao Wenjing self-reported the new term "printing press".
