Chapter 64: Trial before beheading
In other words, what the Elta aristocracy experienced in the face of social change was also faced by the "reform promoter" Euffer Mondrich. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, compared with the old aristocracy of Elta, he thinks that his current self has a wider space for development than his previous self - this is not groundless, and the government of the island of Lancas after the completion of the "theocratic liberation" will liberate more powers and positions than the original theocratic government, from the head of state to local officials. And as one of the very few people in this world who can have the opportunity to go to the other world behind the portal to study and study, he can be regarded as thinking that he can "achieve feats that no one dared to think of" in the Lancas government.
But how do you say that to Naio? Ouffer Mondrich glanced at the puffed face, and finally stuffed the words back into his throat - the scene that could have been teary-eyed and touching could be regarded as the finale of the housewife ethics drama at eight o'clock in the evening has suddenly become what it is now, and he feels that the responsibility is on his side.
"Take these things that we're hereditary and cheer for the mudlegs...... Wouldn't it be nice to keep your family, our children and grandchildren, from falling into mud people who can't afford to eat or wear clothes? ”
No doubt. The Church of the Two Moons is such a sad country, where the people at the bottom will almost never be able to get out - in fact, not only the Church of the Two Moons, but also the countless feudal states on the planet Twin Moons, cannot escape the shackles of class solidification.
To put it bluntly, Naio was just a lucky person. You must know that this theocratic state is reluctant to use measures such as the progressive tax rate of high taxes for high-income earners to the families of bishops and archbishops for generations, and the stinginess and short-sightedness in this country are really indescribable. If the talents from the bottom do not have special channels such as Naio marrying into a famous family, they can only survive in the shadow of various second-generation "uterine lotteries".
"Let me ask you a question, my dear. If I try to convince people from other worlds to do what you think. ”
But Offe Mondridge couldn't be clearer, how did the Church of the Two Moons die? That's how it died! If the broad masses of people at the bottom are not able to act on merit, then they can only become the reverse driving force and burden of the whole society, instead of becoming the source of social progress like the general modern state.
"Our children and grandchildren hold this country, this archipelago, until the earth is desolate...... Sounds really great. But have you ever thought that now that all the nations beyond the archipelago are about to stand on their own without the control of the Church, we will not be able to feed ourselves with our own hands? ”
No matter how sick the system was, the Church was able to maintain its relative stability, and this stability was based on the almost unlimited material resources plundered and exploited from overseas countries. The archipelago under the control of the Church was in chaos because of the interruption of these resources, and even if the theocracy of the Church was left and the rule of man and the rule of law came to the islands, the "old days" of the people of the world who supported the Lancas Islands with their own flesh and sweat would be completely turned into history and would be written into the pile of old papers and flattened.
"So what?"
"Then, even if our children and grandchildren are incompetent, they can still be in high positions, or they can have food and clothing without even the slightest exertion." Uffel Mondridge's expression gradually tightened, "And then who else will be obligated to provide for them when the time comes?" My dear, do you think that with those imposing official positions on the top of his head, the bishop archbishop of Lancas Island can escape the reckoning of the Chinese? The church is about to end, and who is going to worry about these things? To put it bluntly, it's just the life and death of a few ants! ”
Naio's face changed suddenly. Even though she and several of the "cold palace figures" of the Bilunar Church have always been with the current god Hermarita, away from the political whirlpool of the Bilunar Church, who was parachuted on the main island of Lancas, who was criticized for being beaten down, and even now that the main island of Lancas is isolated, Hermarita has her own news channels for these humans living around her to know - but if it is a big event that the god of the world is strangled by an unknown man, this is probably the only exception.
Therefore, of course, Naio also knew the value of the titles of bishops, archbishops, priests, high priests, etc., who were as dense as the rainforest on the main island - under the absolute force of the "people from other worlds" who attacked the city one after another, as soon as the Church of the Two Moons fell, these official positions were immediately worthless.
From now on. There will no longer be overpowering, national-level levels of the Bilunar Planet. Everyone handles all cooperation and exchanges and resolves all conflicts and disputes under the framework of the equal "United Nations" set up by the Chinese, which Hermarita can probably guess - it was the Bimonthly Church that profited from this framework that created this framework before, and the Chinese did not expect this to do so.
The only thing she didn't guess was probably the real intention of the Chinese - they could get whatever they wanted from the other world, and they didn't need the unfair trade that the Bilunar Church had been promoting, and the benefits of promoting modern industry and agriculture in the countries of the Bilunar Planet alone would be enough to make this large country of 1.4 billion people rich for decades......
Not to mention the superimposed effects of the future flow of wealth and commodities between the bilunar planets and the Earth, and the scientific and technological progress and social structure improvements that they promote will be invaluable.
"We are ceding what is rightfully ours so that this country, governed by the children and grandchildren of all, can be more normal and longer than the Bilunar Church, you must understand that, my dear." While the other party was still shaking, Offe Mondridge stepped forward and hugged Naio tightly. "The time when our children and grandchildren could decide their destiny by birth is over, in our hands. I don't think our children have to be in politics...... By the way, did you bring him here? ”
Secretary Huang, who came to be a peacemaker, entered the door under the "strong push" of his colleagues at this time, and waved his hand with a smile with a few colleagues in the reception room - at this time, the tense game between husband and wife was no longer staged, leaving a new father and an experienced mother who were teasing their children.
"Look, isn't that good?" Secretary Huang spread his hands, leaving his colleagues behind him helpless. "Husbands and wives always quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, so let's not meddle casually, do you know? If you really can't solve it, throw them into a standard room, where is there so much? ”
It's a complete yellow joke -- the end of the bed fights at the end of the bed, doesn't that roll from the head of the bed to the end of the bed? Hearing this, the Chinese present smiled unkindly - this handsome man and beautiful woman want to roll a few times on the bed, and such an ordinary degree of marital discord is not a difficult thing to resolve.
Only Euffy Mondridge, who did not really hear it, looked around in confusion - it is said that after hearing the true meaning of this remark, he cursed two sentences of scolding the mother-type country that he had just learned, but this was only an episode in the whole smooth overall situation.
In another room, Hermarita and two other living gods "succeed in their mentorship". With a good understanding of the current situation and a fairly good political literacy, Hermita easily learned from the accompanying Chinese interpreters about the new system that will be applied to the Lancas Islands in the future, as well as the new Bi-Moon Church......
To be precise, there is no such thing as a mouthpiece and mascot in the church. In the vision outlined for him by the narrator, the present god would also have a permanent voting seat in the future government of the islands, which would be roughly equivalent to the electors of the North American Federation - but unlike the congressmen and even the electors, this political entity could only vote, never have the right to run for election, and at the same time, this voter could also participate in the formulation of the laws of the Lancas country, the review of bills, and in essence, it should be regarded as a hybrid innovation between senators and electors, and this is also a kind of third-line compromise.
From the point of view of these "living gods", this voter position can also bring them a good salary. If you use this salary to live, it will be no less advantageous than the middle-class family in Elta now...... As for the later revelation of the "living gods", the truth of 20,000 years ago was revealed, and even the revocation of this seat, it was all later.
In fact, this system of selecting "electors" according to the proportion of the population of each island can be regarded as a synthesis of the consideration that the living gods do not want to be one with the Bilunar Church in the future - after all, after the old version of the canon in the hands of the "living god" Neuesas has been fully interpreted, most of the doctrines of the Double Moon Church even have to be questioned, and according to reasonable judgment, there is very likely that there is clear evidence of the overthrow of the Double Moon Church in their entirety on the Crown Island and Lancas Island......
As for the church controlled by the Chinese, which now plays the role of a promoter of civilization around the world, it will also usher in the end of its life due to the complete spread of civilization and the arrival of its own goals. Once again creating a semi-artificial religion to compete with the secular regime and shoot himself in the foot is something that any leader should try to avoid.
In the course of the talks, and even the discussions that followed, the political fate of the Lancas Islands was already determined – but what did not match it was the very small slots in the major newspapers of Elta the next day, which was far inferior to the "end-of-year sale" that stood on the front page......
While peasants and workers who had been working all over Elta for a year were waiting in long lines in front of the stores and shops of the metropolis with their purses in their purses, the final blow to the Church was already on the line, thousands of miles away, just waiting for that order.
