Although they managed to infiltrate the royal capital with the help of Aaron, Goncharov and the others were still newcomers and could not be too anxious.

Aaron bought a house in the center of the city and decided to bulldoze it and build a large church on the original site.

This expense came entirely from the Pluto Chamber of Commerce, and Goncharov did not accept it at first, until Aaron said that it was his uncle Dino's meaning, and he reluctantly agreed.

In order to preach and preach in the Aztec Empire, Ma Wei waved a large amount of money, and the current Truth Church is different from before, it is not rich, at least it has little family resources, and there is no pressure to build a few churches.

Even without the donation of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce, Goncharov had enough funds to build the church.

The reason why he agreed was also because Aaron moved out of Dino, and Goncharov didn't know if Dino had Marvi's permission, so he should go back and report the matter to Mavi, and then he didn't have to worry about it.

He only had to concentrate on building the new church.

The Aztec Empire was founded only a hundred years ago, and its development is far less than that of the Windsor Kingdom and the First Bonaparte Empire.

Located in the north of the city center, the palace is a pyramid-like building made of stones, each of which is carved with patterns, some like birds, some like hooks, and all kinds of strange symbols, which look mysterious and complex.

The Aztec Empire worshipped the great god of war, Vecchilopochelli, and the sun god Tonatich, and the pyramid-like palace was flanked by mysterious symbols to form a solar disk, sitting north and facing south, as long as it was sunny, from morning to sunset, the sun could directly hit the center of the disk.

"It's a solar almanac, a symbol of Tonatich's power." "The Aztec beliefs were complex, some worshipped the god of war, some worshipped the sun god, and some worshipped the creator god, and if you were to divide it by the number of believers, Tonatich would have the most adherents," Adan said. ”

This is the case with polytheism, where it is difficult to unify beliefs, and there will be contradictions between gods, and believers will also target each other, which is unavoidable.

At the beginning, the Apocalypse God Department was divided, wasn't it also because the faith could not be unified, and there was a split within it?

The kings of the Aztec Empire had a population of more than one million, which was definitely a big city, and there were very few giant cities like Mosk and London, which had millions or tens of millions of permanent residents.

According to the country's development, Mexico City should be benchmarked against second-tier cities, and how can the second-tier cities of the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Romanov have a population of millions?

At most, hundreds of thousands.

However, this number is growing rapidly, especially after the Church of Truth came to power, and the serfs who were given the land seemed to be very interested in having children, and the number of newborns more than doubled in just one year.

At this rate, sooner or later, the population of the third- and even fourth-tier cities of the Romanov Kingdom will exceed one million.

Mexico City, a million-inhabited city with complex beliefs, is full of temples and the tradition of tents left by tribal shamans, and walking down the street you can see black tents with animal skulls, representing different beliefs depending on the skull.

The rabbit skull represents the sun god Tonatich and the snake skull represents the god of death, Mikt Kasivatl, and devotees go to their respective tents to ask for help.

No one saw a doctor in Mexico City, and when they were sick, people would just go to the wizards and drink the suspicious liquids they were given.

When you die, it is God who has taken a fancy to your soul.

To live is a gift from God.

No matter what happens, the wizard has a corresponding explanation, not afraid that you don't believe it, but afraid that you won't come.

The Aztecs had lived in such an environment since childhood, and it was not possible for ordinary people to preach in such a country with complex beliefs, but Goncharov decided to imitate Mavi and first build a church foundation in the local area, and then start from the bottom of the people, break into the grassroots, and slowly expand his influence.

Adam was ready for Goncharov to open the church, and the Pluto Chamber of Commerce had a company in Mexico City, and it was the only white company that was actually protected by the government, and the other company was called Manstein Potions.

The influence of the Manstein Potions Company has long been crossed to the Aztec Empire, because of the promotion of local employment and economy, the creation of a large number of jobs, coupled with the regular payment of taxes, the Aztec royal family even gave the Manstein Potions Company the privilege of customs clearance, as long as the goods of the Manstein Potions Company can enter the territory of the Aztec Empire without inspection.

Even if the Manstein Potions Company had already established a high enough prestige and influence in the local area, Goncharov did not want to seek their help, first of all, Mavi strictly forbade the local churches to be entangled with the church industry, and to have interests and exchanges, and secondly, to maintain the good reputation and reputation of the Manstein Potions Company.

Why has Manstein's Potions Company not been boycotted and banned by various countries?

In addition to the fact that countries rely on the Manstein Potions Company to import potions and raw materials unique to the Windsor Kingdom and the Romanov Kingdom, the Manstein Potions Company never interferes in the main affairs is the direct reason to avoid gunfire.

To do business is to do business, and the purpose of Manstein's Potions Company is very clear, which is to make money for the Church of Truth.

Once politics is involved, can business still be done well?

Many things, the purer the better.

It was precisely because of this that the Aztec royal family granted Manstein Potions a high degree of freedom to operate.

Credibility that even opponents have to recognize.

After renting a temporary shop and settling down, at dinner, Ulmit, who had been walking around the city, came back and asked, "I have found many places with tents and I don't know what they are doing, is it to build a new house?" ”

"It's not about building a new house." Adan said: "That's the remains of the royal family digging underground. ”

"Ruins? What relics? ”

"Of course it's Tenochtitlan. Haven't you heard? ”

Adan glanced at the Ulmit with some strange glances and explained, "Tenochtitlan is an artificial island built on Lake Texcoco, the heyday of Aztec civilization. ”

"Where is the lake?"

Ulmit is full of question marks, he has seen the map around Mexico City, not to mention the lake, even the river is pitiful, the city is short of water all year round, if there is a large lake that can build an artificial island, how can there be a shortage of water?

"The lake is dry!"

Adam said confidently:

"It was the sun god Tonatich who was punishing the ruler of the time by exposing Tenochtitlan to the sun for three whole months, and forcibly drying Lake Texcoco. Of course, there is also a theory that Tonatigh killed the goddess of rivers and lakes, Charchihetlique, which caused Lake Texcoco to dry up. ”
