Chapter 553: Damn, We're Not Birdmen
It's not that the high-ranking members of the church didn't think about stopping the maritime merchants from trading with the Americas.
But when one of them made this suggestion, Pope Carlos immediately rejected it, without even listening to the proposer's explanation.
Such a proposal, in Carlos's opinion, can only be thought of by the brainless.
Today's maritime merchants are not comparable to those fools.
The goods and wealth of the European countries, including the Church, were guaranteed by the merchants who did the maritime trade.
If the merchants were not allowed to trade with the Americas, then they taught them how to maintain a life of luxury.
You must know that only trading with the Americas is the most profitable business now.
Moreover, the goods of the American continent, such as shampoo and shower gel, as well as daily consumables such as refined salt, white sugar and milk tea, have become very popular in the church.
If they don't trade, they won't be able to use those products again, will they?
After getting used to the goods from the Americas, if Carlos were to return to his old life, he would not agree to be killed.
Moreover, the Church is well aware of the minds of the merchants of this day.
For the sake of money, they even dare to draw knives and fight with God, and if the church blocks their way to wealth, these businessmen will hate the church.
And these merchants have money, ships, and people.
This is simply forcing them to defect to the Song Empire in the Americas, such a brainless idiot thing that Carlos would never do.
So, he didn't agree to the proposal.
The maritime merchants didn't know anything about it.
They were already happy just to see that the church did not stop them from continuing to trade.
It's going to bother with what is going on behind the scenes.
As long as they can continue to trade and make money, nothing else has anything to do with them.
Yes, it doesn't matter.
In this way, the church proclaimed that Satan had come to America. It is said that the Americas are a paradise and base camp for the devils.
But on the other hand, it did not prevent merchants from crossing the Atlantic to the American continent to continue their trade.
And the church also continued to sell exorcism items and holy water to the merchants, as well as indulgences.
The excuse and name of selling indulgences is also hilarious, saying that it is to trade with the American continent to deepen the sin, because the people there are devils.
Therefore, to do a trade is to buy a indulgence to offset the sins of trading with the devils.
The church made a windfall as a result.
In this regard, although the businessmen complained a lot, they also acquiesced to this matter.
Who made their families all on the American continent?
But. Because of this practice of the church, many businessmen moved the idea of bringing their families to the Americas.
It's just that because of the rumors of the church, the families of those merchants shook their heads in fright when they heard that they were going to America.
In their eyes, America is definitely the kind of dark world that burns with flames, and the people there are also people with horns on their heads and bat wings behind them.
Maybe a green flame will erupt when you open your mouth.
Therefore. Although the businessmen were a little disappointed, they were still ready to slowly enlighten their families and strive to leave Europe in the future.
For the church, these people can see it.
As the priests and priests of the Song Empire said. The church is not a servant of God at all.
Do God's servants care so much about money?
God doesn't need money.
A bunch of liars!
Many businessmen will curse in their hearts for a sentence or two to relieve their anger when they buy indulgences.
Trade between the two continents continues, but the situation looks very strange.
The concession will be everything that happens here. They were all passed back through the American warships that traveled between the two places and placed in front of Zhang Tie's desk.
As for what kind of decision Zhang Tie will make, to deal with this matter, that is what he will have to do.
High-level officials in Portugal and France. Of course, there was also the rumor about the church.
However, this rumor did not have a great impact on the two countries.
After all, they didn't like the church in the first place, so they didn't take it seriously at all.
Still, they sent troops into some villages and arrested the church personnel who spread such rumors.
The aristocrats don't believe it or not, but the people at the bottom of the two countries are different.
They don't have any brains, and they are very easy to believe in other people's words.
If they believed the rumors of the church, it would seriously affect the cooperation with the Song Empire in the Americas.
Therefore, Portugal and France had to exert their efforts to eliminate the rumors who had infiltrated the two countries.
However, the rumors of the Church still had a little influence on the people of Portugal and France, and began to slowly develop in a worse direction over time.
Seeing that the trend was slowly deteriorating, the intelligence officers of the concession immediately fed back the news back to the American continent.
These messages were sorted out into documents and placed in front of Zhang Tie two months later.
Of course, when Zhang Tie saw the intelligence information from the European concession, the corners of his mouth curled up and a sneer appeared.
It's just too deceitful, do they think such rumors can affect us?
It's so naïve.
Moreover, the people at the bottom of Portugal and France were affected by these rumors and began to have a little turmoil.
The Huaxia genetics in the concession have been attacked by some fanatical believers from time to time.
There were no casualties, but the momentum was not good.
The top of France is unhappy with the church, but the people at the bottom are different.
There are still some fanatical believers among the people at the bottom of France.
After all, the Church has shrouded the continent for a thousand years, and believers are spread all over the corners of Europe.
This point is the most helpless for Zhao Hongyu.
Fortunately, the high-level leaders of Portugal and France have been suppressing, so there has been no major incident yet.
However, if this thing is allowed to continue to develop, then the situation will not be very optimistic in the future.
Gently putting down the document in his hand, Zhang Tie fell into deep thought.
The 'Interception' has now begun to develop, and Jenny has joined the 'Interception'. And because of the addition of this girl, the development of the 'Interception' became very rapid, and at the same time, the Inquisition of the 'Interception' was formed.
Yes, the Inquisition of the 'Interception'.
It's just that the Inquisition of the Church is completely different from the Inquisition of the Church on the European continent, which is aimed at the people at the bottom, who arbitrarily frame some women as witches, or merchants as blasphemers to satisfy their own perverted desires and ulterior motives.
The Inquisition of the Sect is different, it was set up specifically to deal with false gods.
Member of the Inquisition. All of them are fanatics.
They are to be trained, to learn all kinds of killing techniques and combat abilities.
In order to deal with the priests and pastors of the churches who continue to come to the Americas in the future.
Although the riots were suppressed last year, Zhang Tie would not be so stupid as to think that the church would completely die down and no longer send personnel.
The wealth here in the Americas has a fatal attraction for the church, a money-hungry organization.
Therefore, they categorically will not give up.
Now that there is such a rumor on the European continent, is it time to use 'interception'?
Zhang Tie began to think about this question.
The establishment of the sect was very short. And the background is not very sufficient.
Despite rapid growth, the number of believers is still small compared to the church.
On the entire American continent, there are only about 20,000 believers in the Sect, and these people have gone through various tests before finally joining.
Because Zhang Tie's original intention was to rather lack than excess.
So. The steadfastness of these believers in their faith is unquestionable.
In terms of quality, it is much higher than the believers in the churches on the European side.
With the role of the 'artifact', of course. The Europeans living on the American continent also slowly changed their minds and began to believe in the false gods of Europe.
There's a famous saying that says it. The lie is told 10,000 times, and that is the truth.
This statement is not without reason.
In short, here in the Americas, there is a large environment in which it is impossible not to be affected by the mentality of the people.
When this plan was made, Zhao Hongyu, Zhang Tie and Wang Shan had already considered this situation.
And, the arrangement was made early.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie finally made a decision.
In response to this rumor of the European Church, the American continent must make a counterattack and must not allow the Church to succeed.
Besides, the rumors of the church have now affected the low-level people in Portugal and France, which is intolerable to the Song Empire.
The people at the bottom of the Portuguese and French countries were shaken, and this time the European plans of the empire were uncertain.
It will also make it easy for the Church military bloc to defeat Portugal and France.
If this is the case, then wouldn't all the previous arrangements made by the empire be wasted?
No!
Absolutely not!
Nothing like this should be allowed to happen.
Never!
"Church! Hmph, under the influence of technology beyond this era, I don't believe I can't get you. ”
Zhang Tie sneered and muttered to himself for a while, then made up his mind.
That is, the empire needed to send a group of zeatics back to Europe to enter Portugal and France to confront the members of the Church.
At the same time, you also need to carry some 'artifacts' for them as a support to help them open up the situation.
Moreover, this is also a very good opportunity for the sect to enter the European continent and fight with the church on the European continent.
In this way, the energy of the church will be dragged on the European continent.
At that time, the church would no longer have any energy to peek into the Song Empire in the Americas, would it?
Hey!
"Let's have a game and see who has the best means."
Zhang Tie stood up and walked out from behind his desk.
"Someone, prepare the car, I'm going to the outskirts of the city." (To be continued......)
