When they first arrived in Africa, they were full of curiosity.

But this curiosity was quickly dissipated, after all, St. Isabel was only a large town in Europe, and there was little commercial activity in between, which was really uninteresting.

I didn't see the exotic scenery, but I saw some little black people with a height of 1.5 meters in the horns, and when I saw them, I shouted and hid in the shadows with words I didn't understand.

Even the smell is not much better than in Europe, where towns and cities are cleaned up from time to time, and where there is a sewer system, there is no such concept here.

However, boring is boring, and the living environment is much better than everyone thinks.

"I thought Africa was barren and arid, but it's June, and the temperature is very good." Ricardo laughed.

Everyone nodded:

"The moisture is more abundant than in Madrid."

"The law and order seem to be okay."

"It's just that there are a lot of mosquitoes."

Someone started talking, and the atmosphere immediately became lively, and the laughter and laughter were no longer suppressed before.

Since the landings in Port Santa Isabel, the government has set them free.

Now that I have been in the city for most of the day, the panic in my heart has decreased a lot, and the expectation for the future has gradually taken over.

"Don't take it lightly, if it's okay, put on your mask and get dressed." Robert said in a deep voice.

It's just been here, and everyone is already showing signs of relaxation, which is not a good thing.

Most of the day passed, and it was already evening.

Fortunately, the government has prepared some sheds for them, although it is uncomfortable to live in, but they are not enough to sleep in the wild.

But living in a shed is not a long-term solution after all, and mosquitoes in Africa are no joke.

And their food doesn't last a few days.

From this point on, Robert's starting point is much weaker than others.

In addition to them, more teams are headed by one or two rich people, and all-civilian teams are relatively rare.

These "rich people" are not very rich, but mostly small businessmen, small aristocrats, and small journalists.

But a little money can also help you get through the early stage, so you won't starve to death without a harvest in a few days.

At night, lying on the mat, disturbed by the damp ground and the double interference of flies and mosquitoes, Robert tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The same goes for Ricardo, who happens to sleep with him.

The two looked at each other, and Ricardo asked softly, "How long will we have our food?" ”

Robert hesitated: "I should be able to last four days if I save some food, and there are quite a lot of biscuits and bacon on the ship, so I saved some of them." ”

"Four days ......" Ricardo chewed on the number.

It doesn't seem like a hurry, but in fact, these long-lasting foods are precious supplies in the rainforest, and it would be wasteful to consume them in the town.

Seeing the other party's sad expression, Robert comforted: "Don't worry, we'll go find work tomorrow."

Few people have been to the middle of the island, and the colony department of so many of us will definitely not waste it, and should be given the task of drawing a map.

When we make a little money, we will go to the mainland to make some money! ”

"Good!"

……

At the same time, another change is brewing in Spain, but this time it has nothing to do with the owners of the estates.

The reason was that the king wanted to appoint Andrew, his personal religious adviser, as bishop of the diocese of Madrid!

What is this operation?

There are two problems here, first: a deacon cannot be a bishop! Second: there is no Bishopric of Madrid!

To put it bluntly, the deacon is the assistant of the priest of all ranks, the assistant of the purple bishop is the purple deacon, the assistant of the cardinal is the red deacon, and the assistant of the pope is the deacon of the prime minister.

When Andrew came to Alfonso, he was just an assistant deacon.

Although he had served the Pope, he was too young and of a civilian background to allow him to hold too high a position.

To serve an ordinary priest and to run an ordinary church, i.e., to be an assistant deacon.

Later, Andrew followed Alfonso for two years, and because his membership was still in Rome, the Pope made an exception to mention the purple deacon, skipping the rank of archdeacon, which was already extremely prominent.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been following Alfonso and not involved in the power struggle of the church, I am afraid that he would have been attacked by others.

Time has passed, and the king's prestige has grown, even if Alfonzi asked to promote him to be a red-clothed deacon, everyone pinched their noses and recognized it.

Promote a deacon to be a bishop! This is far beyond the bottom line of people in the church!

The Archbishop of Toledo rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

As the leader of the Spanish Catholic Church, he can't help but go through such a situation.

Hearing Antonio's request to see him, Alfonso smiled, this old onion, wanted to invest in education himself, and had hoped that the church could help with money.

As a result, Antonio was willing to contribute 400,000 yuan, and this was in the case of opening a church school in the name of the church.

Obviously, the government gave more, 600,000 yuan, but all the names were taken up by the church.

What's even more annoying is that the other party still looks like you have taken advantage.

Eat more and vomit less, the moths of the country are nothing more than that.

In this case, if Antonio is willing to cooperate with the reform in peace, then it will not hurt for him to go through the remaining years and become the nominal leader of the Spanish Church.

But if you get in the way...... Then there is no need to separate the Diocese of Madrid!

At this thought, Alfonso commanded, "Let him in." ”

Within a few minutes, Bishop Antonio, who was already in his seventies and eighties, cautiously stepped through the door of his office.

It was a lot more careful than the last time he was here.

At that time, it was to add a title to the king, but this time it was to do it, and the risks of the two are not the same.

"Your Majesty."

"Bishop Antonio, please be seated." Alfonso said casually, did not get up, and said directly:

"The bishop is busy, and he is here for the business of the diocese of Madrid?"

Antonio's expression was tight, he didn't talk to him anymore, and he didn't mention Andrew at all, which was not a good sign.

Facing Alfonso's gaze, Antonio hesitated for a while, and in consideration of the interests of the church, he still stubbornly said:

"Exactly, the separation of the Archdiocese of Madrid from the Archdiocese of Toledo is not a big deal, and the growing population of Madrid is as it should be.

But the matter of Andrew "Deacon" ......"

"Huh?"

Alfonso's cold snort directly startled Antonio.

The person who could have been a bishop would not be so unbearable, but Alfonso's various auras will not be mentioned.

His own physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and once he gets angry, he has a natural sense of oppression against ordinary people.

It took almost half a minute for Antonio to recover his breath and have the heart to leave, but think about the king's style, one step back, and there must be continuous stabbing behind, and he can't dodge.
