Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dawn of Hope (Asking for Votes and Seeking Reading!! )
At 10 a.m., the three of them rode back to 99 Kerr Street as fast as they could.
Inside the church, Mrs. Cecil was sitting in front of the idol, registering the believers who had come to apply for the house maintenance fund, and before she could react, Mavey rushed through the small door to the left of the idol.
"I have a big deal in mind!"
In the study, Mavi pulled out a chair and motioned for Levine to sit down, then took out a stack of white paper, quills, and inkwells from the drawer, and put them on the table along with the Book of Truth, and then patted Levine on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "It's up to you!" ”
“?”
Levin, who was confused and couldn't figure out the situation at all, looked blank: "What is it?" What are you talking about? ”
"Copy the Book of Truth!" Ma Wei walked back and forth in the room, slightly emotional, and kept talking to himself: "Why didn't I think of this before... Right... Right... You can't be too narrow-minded... You have to look at the big picture..."
"Dad, what the hell do you want Uncle Levine to do?" Yunia, who was clutching half a croissant in her hand and had some dark chocolate sauce on her lips, blinked, not understanding what her father meant.
"Do you remember Dino the gray wolf?"
"Uh-huh, that's that Uncle Macaron!" Yunia nodded repeatedly, indicating that she remembered it clearly.
Macarons?
How could a macaron appear in such a serious conversation?
Ma Wei was slightly stunned, his thoughts were almost interrupted by the macaron, shook his head, and kicked the damn macaron out of his mind, he explained: "The gray wolf Dino is not born in the Kingdom of Windsor, he is from the Romanov Kingdom, he was originally a grocer who traveled all over the world, and after accumulating funds, he chose to settle in New Ross City, using waterways and railways, and began to hoard goods and start a company.... Now he is the largest grocer in New Ross City. ”
"He told me the news that the Kingdom of Windsor would declare war on the Romanov Kingdom in the near future, and after learning the news, he decided to sell his property and return to his hometown..."
The name of the gray wolf Dino, Levine is a little unfamiliar, because he is engaged in different industries, so he has never heard of this person before, but after listening to Ma Wei's introduction, he quickly found the point.
"You don't want Dino, the gray wolf, to return to the Romanov Kingdom with the Book of Truth and promote the church!"
"Clever!"
With a snap of his fingers, Ma Wei said quickly: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Once the Windsor Kingdom declares war on the Romanov Kingdom, it will definitely use magic, and at that time, if the Romanov Kingdom wants to break the situation, it will have to seek the help of other gods! ”
"In that case...."
"Why can't it be us to help the Divine Cult of the Romanov Kingdom?"
Levine was stunned by his ambition.
You must know that the Romanov Kingdom has a lot of land than the Windsor Kingdom, and the ten Windsor Kingdoms may not be comparable....
How could a church eat such a huge cake?
"The promulgation of the New Religion Law has completely blocked the way for other churches to develop." Ma Wei said with a gloomy face: "Among the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, there are definitely masters, and there is more than one, they take advantage of their unique advantages, and with one bill, they cut off the way of life of other churches, this is the bottom of the kettle!" ”
"With these masters, it is impossible for the Church of Truth to develop and grow, and it will not be able to enter the royal capital at all, because there are already iron walls there, and outsiders cannot blend in! We don't have the capital to gamble! ”
"If you want to fight for a way out of this critical situation, you can only find another place, avoid confrontation with the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny in the early stage, try to develop, and wait until your wings are full, and then attack!"
The "New Religion Law" is so vicious that it digs up the roots of other churches with a shovel and cuts off hope directly from the roots.
But what can be done about it?
The power is in the hands of others, isn't it just a matter of saying anything about dealing with you?
No one is a fool, what you can think of, others can also think of, you want to sit against others to play, people directly flip the table, do not play with you, and fundamentally solve the problem.
Capricious, but that's power!
"If nothing else, other kingdoms will enact similar laws in the near future." "The only hope at the moment is the Romanov Kingdom, which I predict will become the first battlefield of the theocratic era," Ma Wei said in a deep voice. ”
"Shall we abandon the city of New Rus, abandon the believers, and flee to the Romanov kingdom?"
Levin swallowed, his throat a little dry: "What about the believers?" What about the three years of accumulation of the church? As soon as we leave, all our efforts will come to naught..."
It's not impossible to start from scratch, but it's really hard to accept.
Not everyone can accept this kind of blow.
It's like walking through a dark and damp tunnel, finally seeing the dawn of hope, only to suddenly have a flash flood and mudslide that blocks the only exit, it's maddening.
"The effort will not be in vain..."
Ma Wei shook his head: "It's just that the strategic focus has shifted, no one said that they want to abandon New Ross City, abandon the believers, they believe in the truth, they are our companions, and abandoning them is equivalent to turning their backs on the truth." ”
"So what do you want to do? In a few days, the Religious Affairs Bureau will be established, and if you don't register, the Church of Truth will definitely be labeled illegal! ”
"Registration must be registered, this is a conspiracy, it is a royal law, and I have to accept it, but..."
Under Levin's gaze, Mavi grinned, "Don't forget, the Kingdom of Windsor is a kingdom. ”
“......”
Isn't this nonsense?
Levin complained in his heart.
"I mean, although the Kingdom of Windsor has a parliamentary system, and the power to enact new laws is in the hands of Parliament, the specific implementation still cannot bypass the lords of the land, that is, the nobles." Ma Wei said quietly: "The so-called parliamentary system is divided into the upper and lower houses, the upper house is also called the noble house, all of which are composed of nobles, and the lower house is called the commoners' house, which has the identities of businessmen, capitalists and other miscellaneous identities. ”
"The powers of the House of Commons are equal, that is, for any bill to be successfully enacted, it must be passed by a vote of the House of Commons and signed by the King, and if neither side of the House of Commons passes a vote, the bill cannot be enacted."
"So you're going to co-opt the nobles and get them to obstruct the next bill by getting in the way of the vote?"
"No, the nobility is also divided into hierarchies, and New Ross belongs to the border region, and the nobles here are not qualified to enter the council at all." "But precisely because it is a frontier area, this land has always been difficult for the royal power to control, and the great famine nine years ago has decimated the number of people living on this land by a quarter, and the people are full of grievances and laments, and in order to prevent unrest from happening, the royal family of Windsor has sent a great nobleman to sit here, and this great nobleman..."
"It's the Fourth Prince, Arthur Windsor!"
