"We can't wait any longer, because the population of Manhattan is growing and a lot of people are coming here to make a living. This is a heaven-sent 'pasture' where we must develop the Lamb of the Lord. And don't you think it's nice here, in addition to the large number of people, there is also a lot of wealth in the hands of people. ”

In a rented house near the Manhattan port, missionaries from Europe gathered and were conducting seminars on the fact that there was no open place in Manhattan about the faith.

At the same time, Manhattan officials have not given a reply to the fact that they want to build a church here and what the church does.

"These damned officials of the Song Empire, God will definitely rain down thunder and fire and destroy this city, they have lost their faith and the protection of God."

A priest from the Vatican stood up excitedly and kept shouting.

His clamor aroused the approval of many people.

Although it is no longer the dark Middle Ages, there are still many people in Manhattan who are willing to listen to the "voice" of the church conveyed by the clergy.

And not all of these priests are convinced, they do all kinds of evil, but you can't see it in secret.

There are a lot of Europeans living here in the Manhattan area, and if the faith is opened, these church members will take advantage of the opportunity to rise, and then it will not be so easy to manage.

At the same time, the church personnel of this era continued to be the same style.

Likes to interfere with national policies and government decrees, and to fight against them.

This is what Zhao Hongyu and they hated very much.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Tie, the supreme administrator of Manhattan, has never been open to the things of faith and has ignored the demands of the clergy.

Just kidding, if you don't have a coping strategy, you wouldn't be asking for trouble by letting these people in Manhattan like this.

Zhang Tie is not a fool, and he is not so stupid.

"This is not Europe. Such a radical approach will only lead to trouble, and don't forget that most of the people here are not God-believers. ”

A clergyman from France gave a cold look at his excited companion and kindly reminded them to pay attention to this.

Yes, now they are not in Europe, but in the Americas.

The usual one in Europe doesn't necessarily work well here.

The reason is simple, because they don't have a mass base here.

The Indians here believed in the god of nature, the so-called animist.

Usually trees, rivers, plants, animals are gods.

Therefore, the only God is Jehovah. There is no market at all.

Besides, the Indians believed in animism, and at the same time they had many benefits.

Animals can provide meat, plants can provide medicinal herbs, rivers can provide drinking water, and trees can be used to burn wood for heating.

But what is the use of Jehovah in the church?

It's useless, but you have to provide food and drink to the clergy, and you have to pay for them when they build a church.

The Indians would not believe in such a god without benefit.

Although the Indians are simple. But they're not idiots.

Historically, Europeans have been trying to conquer the Indians by converting them to the church.

But it has not been successful.

At the end of the day, there were only a few destroyed Indian tribal children, who were brought back by the Europeans. Leave it to the church to nurture it, and then you believe in God.

But the other Indians didn't believe it at all.

It can be seen that God's attraction to the Indians was not at all high.

Another target of the clergy was the black-haired Chinese ethnic group, the upper class of the Song Empire. Not very interested in them either.

Some people even pointed out unceremoniously that they are a bunch of liars.

Thus began the development of the clergy in the Americas. It has completely entered a low ebb period.

"Yes, this is not Europe, and what we are doing in Europe is not going to work at all. And if it makes the government authorities so lively, it's likely that we'll be expelled, and I don't want to see that happen. ”

Some people raised their own concerns and opinions.

When they were in Europe, even the nobles had to be polite when they saw them, and when had they been treated like this?

So, it's normal for some people to feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

This is like being a master who is used to being a grandson all of a sudden, and their mentality can't be changed for a while.

Whether they want to or not, get used to it or not, in short, when they come to America, you have to coil on the dragon, and you have to lie down on the tiger. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Some priests know this very well, so they are considered wise.

But some people can't, they still think that they can be masters wherever they go, and God can eat and drink when they open their mouths.

They didn't know what to say at all, Zhao Hongyu didn't take them seriously at all, and even felt that they were just clowns.

Zhao Hongyu from the later generations, and Wang Shan from the virtual world realm, what kind of sect they don't know.

And in the later generations when information was developed, they were all very clear about the issues behind various sects and beliefs.

In general, the church is just a bunch of parasites.

There are even some people who come to join the church for some dark ideological purposes in their hearts.

For example, a certain pastor in the United States is actually a pedophile.

He did a lot of lawlessness through the trust of Europeans in the Church.

But he did not receive the punishment he deserved, because with the help of the church, he went from the country to Ireland without any injuries, and lived there leisurely.

I have to say, this is a very ironic thing.

From this, how many such people exist in the church?

It's no wonder that Zhao Hongyu and they don't have a good impression of the people in the church.

"So what do we do now? The people here are very rich, but the government doesn't let us preach, so we can only watch, but there is nothing we can do. ”

Yes, the affluence here in Manhattan is staggering to these European missionaries.

Some of them have already begun to fantasize about building a church here and developing believers.

I dare not say that if we can develop 10,000 believers, they will donate one silver coin to themselves every month, and then there will be 10,000 silver coins.

In Europe, unless it is a bishop of a large region, there can be such an 'income'.

With such achievements, the office of bishop of the Americas will not be able to run.

And, as the number of churches increases, so do the clergy.

When the time comes, your rights will also become greater.

Ha Luha, this kind of thing is wonderful to think about.

But it's a pity that these are all fantasies of looking at the moon in the water now, and at the same time, the Manhattan authorities did not give them the authority to preach at all, and they were restricted intentionally or unintentionally.

This annoyed them a lot.

"Yes, this is a rich pasture, and we have to fight for this rich place for God. So what do you all think? It's better to say it all, let's discuss it together, there are few ways for one person, and there will always be a way for many people, right? ”

Someone suggested.

"Protest, we went to protest in front of the government office building, and privately we found some Europeans who worked here, they should not refuse our request, as long as there are more people, I think the official should think about it."

Immediately, someone came up with a solution.

Everyone nodded, thinking that this method was really good.

Protest petitions, as long as the number of people is larger, then the official Song Empire will not care.

After all, no matter what kind of government it is, all it needs is stability.

The missionaries were well aware of this.

Moreover, there are many Europeans working here in Manhattan, and they are all believers in God, so it can be said that these missionaries are still a bit of a mass base.

At the same time, these Europeans are doing the most basic work in Manhattan, and if they get into trouble, the government will have to think about the consequences.

"Is there anything else we can do? The previous one was a good idea, and we could use it. But this one solution alone is not enough, we have to think a little more, and it is also convenient to deal with emergencies. ”

Sitting on the throne above the group of missionaries, the middle-aged priest from the Vatican spoke at this time.

"We can also preach secretly, or even go to the hinterland to preach, and the people of the Song Empire should not find out. In short, we can't sit still, we have to be proactive. ”

Another solution has been proposed.

However, this method has not won the support of many people.

Because everyone wants to be able to develop here in Manhattan, they don't want to go to the mountains or poor places.

Those places, there's Manhattan.

When they came to America from Europe, they immediately fell in love with the city of Manhattan.

It's clean and tidy, not as foul and foul as in the major European cities, and people are rich in goods.

Plus they've been living here for a while, and they're really starting to get used to it.

Drink some soy milk and eat a fritter every day.

Or just eat a bowl of hot and oily ramen.

Even other snacks will do.

And if you go to a remote area, life will not be so good.

People, once you have enjoyed it, let him give up, it is not so easy.

That's what happened to these missionaries today.

"We can talk to the Manhattan government little by little, first of all, we have to open this opening, we can look at the port for the time being. Let's just say that a temporary mission will be established, and I don't think they will refuse. ”

"As long as this mission is established......"

Hey!

The preacher who spoke laughed the most.

Everyone understood what he meant. (To be continued.) )
