When did you find out about this?" After thinking about it for a while, Wu Feng asked cautiously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Hui, it should have been a while, I guess it should have been this situation half a year ago, but because there are also a considerable number of immigrants from the Western Continent in our entire northwest, we didn't pay enough attention to it at that time, and we thought that it was just the religious beliefs brought by these immigrants from their hometowns, and we just had a regular surname, and the monitoring work was handed over to the local internal affairs department, and it is estimated that they did not pay enough attention to it, and neither we nor they took other special measures to prevent it. It was not until not long ago that our eyes in the Northwest University reflected that many faculty members from the Western Continent were trumpeting the religion from the Western Continent in the university, and there was a big controversy because of the difference in doctrine, which attracted our attention. Diao Su's face was also full of gloom, and his eyes were shining.
";;;;;; the origin and family background of these students?" Wu Feng asked with a slight frown.
"Master Hui, after our investigation, we have learned that there are about 10 people in Northwest University who have become more convinced believers, and there are about 50 people who are still hesitating and accepting influences. And we have also analyzed the composition of these people, the vast majority of these dozens of people are the children of immigrants from outside the empire, and they are more influenced by their families, and almost all of their parents and relatives are religious. Diao Su obviously attached great importance to the infiltration of religion into the northwest, and spent considerable energy investigating and analyzing.
Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with Diao Su's detailed investigation, the results of the other party's investigation were not much different from what he expected, first of all, his own officials did not participate in this area, and secondly, this religion has not spread in Northwest University for the time being, after all, it will take quite a while for the people of the empire to accept this doctrine from the Western Continent, and it will take a long time for the local rulers to adopt a supportive attitude.
However, this has already made Wu Feng's heart chill, you must know that after religion is soaked in people's minds, fanatical believers can position all their goals to dedicate their lives to the gods he believes in, the power of this spiritual explosion is quite terrifying, if it is not well controlled, this kind of thing is enough to destroy everything. Wu Feng once studied in the Western Continent, and also traveled and studied in the Western Continent for a long time, during which he also witnessed many public debates under the altar in the school because of the different understandings of the doctrines, and there were many onlookers, even out of curiosity, he had visited a few times, but maybe he was not a devout believer by nature, and Wu Feng found it difficult for him to identify with these religious teachings, so he did not have much affection for these religions.
However, for various purposes, Wu Feng also spent a certain amount of time during his studies to learn to understand and figure out this kind of Holy Spirit Religion that is more common in the entire Western Continent and parts of the Central Continent (called the Holy Bishop in the southern part of the Western Continent), this religion originated in the middle of the Central Continent about four or five centuries ago, and initially only spread among the ordinary people in the lower classes in some parts of the Central Continent, and then flowed into the Western Continent three centuries ago and began to spread widely in the Western Continent, and in its original birthplace, there are not many people who believe in this religion.
Thinking of the arguments and even conflicts between those fanatical religious people when they were studying because of the differences in doctrines between different sects, the family can turn against each other because of the different doctrinal understandings, no less than some radical religions in the Middle Continent, Wu Feng shuddered, and if the people in his own territory believed in those sects with radical doctrines, he really didn't know how to deal with them.
But Wu Feng also knew that if he blindly tried to suppress the spread and development of these various religions with complex doctrines, it would be even more unwise, which was tantamount to stopping the rolling flood with his own strength, and he would only die in the flood. A wise ruler can even use and control this power for his own use, and drive this force to contribute to his own hegemony, of course, it depends on how the ruler views and what measures and means he takes, Wu Feng believes that he will not be a fool, and he is confident that he is not inferior to anyone else in playing with these means.
Seeing that his master's face was cloudy, and his expression changed in a variety of ways, Diao Su also knew that he had caught a big fish this time, but it seemed that his master was also a little undecided, Diao Su really didn't understand how such things that didn't seem too complicated could stump him who had always been calm and chic in front of big things, but he also knew that he shouldn't think too much about things that he shouldn't think about and ask about by himself, otherwise thinking too much about some things may not be a blessing for me.
Time passed minute by minute, and I didn't know how many times Wu Feng had turned around in the study, maybe he was tired of wandering, so he slowly sat back in the big chair behind the desk, looking out of the sunny window with deep eyes.
"According to your information, there are also many people who believe in the Holy Spirit Sect in our entire Northwest People?" Wu Feng finally asked.
"There should be a considerable number of immigrants from the central and western continents in the total population of these four prefectures, excluding the Indians, because most of them believe in their own primitive religions, and the immigrants from the western continent also have about one percent, and most of them are religious. Diao Su replied while thinking, " However, although they believe in religion, it is still a little different from the current situation in Northwest University, because the origin of these immigrants is from all over the Western Continent, not the same region, and the denominations they believe in are also different, according to what we know now, they are still in a relatively scattered and unorganized state in terms of religious beliefs, and have not yet formed a relatively unified custom, at least for the time being, we have not found full-time religious personnel among them, such as missionaries and pastors. ”
"The situation of Northwest University is a little different, several of those so-called faculty members are more active, in addition to teaching some knowledge from the Western Continent, the rest of their leisure time is spent on those missionary and evangelistic affairs, and the subordinates doubt that their true identity will be a problem, so the subordinates have the courage to send personnel to the Western Continent to understand the details of these faculty members, to see if there is anything suspicious, but the Western Continent is far away, and it will take at least three or five months for news to come back, and the real situation is now impossible to know. Diao Su then added.
Seeing that his subordinates were so thoughtful, Wu Feng was deeply grateful, it seemed that in terms of political acumen and command ability in the intelligence system, Diao Su was no less than himself, and even surpassed it, he really hadn't chosen the wrong person, nodded slightly: "Good job, you thought of it one step ahead of me, the purpose of introducing some instructors from the Western Continent was to let us know more about new knowledge from foreign countries, I didn't think that it would bring these by-products, it seems that this work is still not slackened for a moment." ”
"Well, my lord, although the phenomenon that has appeared in Northwest University is only the beginning of the show, my subordinates are thinking that once their behavior develops among the people, especially those immigrants from the Western Continent, I am afraid that a considerable force will soon be formed, so I must guard against it. Receiving praise from his boss, Diao Su did not have the slightest arrogance, and still put forward his opinions indifferently.
"Well, that's for sure, of course we're going to take the necessary countermeasures. Of course, Wu Feng would not expose his far-reaching thoughts in front of his subordinates, and said with a faint smile: "Since the immigrants from the Western Continent have a tradition of believing in religion, it is impossible for us to forcibly suppress their religious freedom, so we can guide them correctly." Of course, if it is someone with ulterior motives, it is a different matter. ”
"Then my lord, ;;;;;;what do you mean?" Diao Su had vaguely heard some meaning, but for a moment he couldn't fully understand the full meaning behind his boss's subtle and vague words, and his inquiring eyes were firmly fixed on Wu Feng's face.
"Those outstanding faculty members of Northwest University, now tighten the monitoring, strictly restrict their activities outside of normal teaching activities, and wait for the information from the Western Continent to come back, if they really have ulterior motives, then let them return to the Western Continent, go back to their hometown and slowly publicize it, if it is just out of their own love for religious affairs, then the situation of your people should be collected well, especially their hobbies, surnames, etc., may be useful to us. In the end, Wu Feng's eyes were deep, but the corners of his mouth flowed a mysterious smile.
"What about folk religious activities?" Diao Su refused to let go of any question.
"Well, that's a problem, my opinion is to strengthen the monitoring, to see if there are any people who are more capable in this area and have a higher prestige among those immigrants, if there is, you may wish to contact more people, understand the political attitude of the other party and what they think of us at the moment, if there is a suitable person, tell me immediately." Wu Feng replied thoughtfully while rubbing his chin.
The master's words were meaningful, and he had already faintly revealed his views on the follow-up issues, and even Diao Su had to admire his master's far-reaching vision and consideration, and bowed deeply, "My subordinates understand." ”
"Then you go. Nodding slowly, Wu Feng nodded slowly, closed his eyes and said no more.
