The unveiling of the temple had a huge impact on the gathering place.
It is very intuitive to reflect that under the leadership of this new group of "Protestants", in the following days, all the progress of the project was much faster. In order to be anxious to show themselves, these Protestants could not wait to lead by example, leading their respective engineering teams to increase the workload.
For a while, the whole gathering place was in full swing, and after witnessing the grand unveiling ceremony, under the influence of the sense of mystery and sacredness deliberately created by Chen Daolin, more importantly, those Protestants were promoted in status and treatment, and everyone was motivated.
This made Chen Daolin even more proud of his plan to choose to build a nest in Nulin Province: after all, in this place, after a hundred years, the local religion was in a rare vacuum, and it was simply too beneficial for him to walk his own "Peerless Martial God Sect".
Of course, in addition to the public unveiling ceremony and the initiation ceremony for many Protestants, there was also a secret "initiation ceremony" that was only born in Chen Daolin's residence, and only a very small number of people were present.
In this secret initiation ceremony, the process is much more simplified.
Among those who joined the church were: Baron Pierre and his son, Martin, and ...... The Church of Light duo Montoya and Ade.
Ade was specially rushed back from Mulan City. The young priest had been staying in Mulan City these days, and he was in charge of inquiring about the situation of the Governor's Mansion in Nulin Province for Chen Daolin, and procuring some needed supplies for Chen Daolin's gathering place at any time. I have to say that Ade's time in Mulan City is still very pleasant. Chen Daolin gave him a sum of money to make friends with some officials of the Governor's Mansion of Nulin Province.
The poor young pastor, who was originally considered a pure ascetic, finally changed something after two months of dealing with those old fritters in the officialdom.
This guy's alcohol consumption has skyrocketed, and his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense has gradually become a little hotter.
The most important thing is that Chen Daolin learned that this guy was dragged by two officials to a Fengyue place for a night one day - Chen Daolin maliciously made up for it. It is estimated that the young pastor is only afraid that his temperance will not be guaranteed.
This internal initiation ceremony is still very necessary in Chen Daolin's opinion. The ceremony of joining the religion is equivalent to determining the first batch of core figures of this small group, and this kind of ceremony of joining the religion is equivalent to a petition for membership and a ceremony of joining the family in Chen Daolin's view.
Officially included in their own group, rightly so.
Of course. For the two guys in the Temple of Light, there was still some resistance.
After all, the religious doctrine of the Temple of Light is very clear, the only true god in this world is the great Goddess of Light, and the Temple of Light will never admit the existence of any god other than the goddess, and anyone who claims to be a god is an evil heresy!
Worship this "Peerless Martial God Sect". There is no doubt that it is contrary to the beliefs of the two. But under Chen Daolin's persuasion and bewitchment, he said to the two of them the righteousness of "sacrificing the ego", and finally made Montoya and Ade succumb.
The two men completed the initiation ceremony almost with the intention of martyrdom.
During the ceremony, Chen Daolin, wearing the special white curly gold-rimmed robe, stood in front of everyone, mainly in front of Montoya and Ade, and made the two bend down. Chen Daolin walked over one by one, touched the top of everyone's heads with his hand, and then recited some words.
As his palm stroked Montoya's head, Chen Daolin distinctly felt the Holy Knight's body tremble. This man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, this fierce general who dares to assassinate the emperor on the street, is actually as frightened as a wounded little beast at this time. As for Ade...... Well, in Chen Daolin's opinion, this guy was originally a guy full of "receiving" attributes.
"Are you willing to turn your back on the Hongmen and escape into the devil's path...... Ah no. Said the wrong word...... "Chen Daolin pressed Montoya's head: "Are you willing to serve the peerless martial god with your body?"
In the face of Chen Daolin's sarcastic words, Montoya sighed helplessly, nodded, and said "yes" - Chen Daolin bet that this guy must be swearing in his stomach.
The ceremony was much smoother when it arrived at Ade. This guy's face did not change, and he could even calmly recite the oath that Chen Daolin taught him to recite - he only listened to it once, and he recited it word for word!
Chen Daolin sighed in his heart: This guy learned badly from the corrupt officials in Mulan City - this guy will not be so easy to deceive in the future.
All right. Chen Daolin's "Peerless Martial God Sect" was officially established.
In this emerging religious group, the structure of the first leadership was as follows:
High Priest and Pope: Mr. Darling Chan, the supreme leader of all believers, is the only spokesperson of the Warrior God on earth.
Deacon's seat: Baron Pierre. Responsible for the general administration of the church.
Martial Arts Seat: Martin. Responsible for leading the armed forces of the church and defending the interests of the church.
Hall of Precepts: Montoya. It is responsible for maintaining the authority of the canon and punishing a member of the congregation who violates the canon.
Church of the Doctrine: Elf Barossa. In fact, this church of doctrine has no specific business, and it is only nominally for the purpose of intensive study of doctrine. As for what the doctrine is...... Didn't you say it with Chen Daolin's mouth?
Foreign Affairs Hall: Lodel Liszt. In fact, this so-called Foreign Affairs Hall is nominally responsible for the church's external liaison - but God knows where there is any external liaison affairs now that this Peerless Martial God Cult has only been established. In fact, this department was strongly requested by Laudel - specifically to give the Liszt lady an identity. Lordelle insisted that since she had already invested, how could she not occupy a seat on the board of directors as an investor? Chen Daolin happily agreed to such a reasonable request.
Of course, Chen Daolin knew that Lordelle's request was completely aimed at Barossa's appointment as the "doctrinal seat".
The little girl's mind is very simple: if she can occupy a position, then I will also occupy one!
......
It can be said that the ceremony was held in secret, and the number of participants was limited to the first small group members of Chen Daolin's current career, and even core members such as Captain Hook were absent because they were away.
The ceremony was also very short-lived, far less grand than the previous temple unveiling. But in practical terms, this simple initiation ceremony is far more important than that grand ceremony.
Chen Daolin knew very well in his heart.
With the completion of this ceremony, I have this cause in the Northwest. The first official team has been established!
From this day on, he officially became the rightful leader of this group of people in name. The fate of these people will be firmly tied to him, and even to him alone.
The day after the ceremony was completed, Chen Daolin kicked Ade, who had rushed back, back to Mulan City again.
Of course, Ade has one more mission. It is to take the main personnel of the "Peerless Martial God Sect", which has just been officially established, to take a list and go to the Governor's Mansion of Nulin Province in Mulan City for filing in accordance with the requirements of the imperial decree.
After the establishment of the church, in this gathering place of 10,000 people, Chen Daolin had an official identity.
All the people when they saw this guy. The previous messy titles such as "lord" and "adult" have been abandoned.
In its place, there is a new, very powerful, and cool name for the bunker:
"His Majesty the Pope!"
This title made Chen Daolin's heart feel dark for several days.
After all, I had witnessed the majesty of Pope Heynckes in the Temple of Light before, and after all, it was a state-level church with a history of thousands of years. The majesty of the world made Chen Daolin secretly envious in his heart.
But now...... Hmph, brother is also the Pope, and he is also His Majesty!
It's just that the only thing that makes Chen Daolin a little regretful is that in his own place, although those guys call themselves His Majesty the Pope, the content of their words can't help but make people sigh......
"His Majesty the Pope. Have you eaten it?"
"His Majesty, Walk?"
"Your Majesty, the septic tank will have to be dug up tomorrow by some more people. ”
"Your Majesty, the river workers are working so hard that they have to add two pieces of meat to their lunch every day!
......
Chen Daolin soon lost interest in this title! How does this look like a pope! It is clearly a production team leader and village party secretary!!
After a few days of pride, Chen Daolin finally cleared his mind and ordered. The title "Pope Majesty" was abolished, and everyone was no longer allowed to call themselves "Pope Majesty".
As soon as he came, this kind of nonsense pope made Chen Daolin lose his heart. Second, come on. After all, his power is still weak now, so he rashly called "His Majesty" and spread it, wouldn't he be misunderstood as a thief? !
Is the title of 陛xià casually called?!
And another annoying thing followed.
As the seat of the Hall of Precepts, Montoya will be responsible for upholding the canons and punishing a qiē for violating them.
As for this canon, of course, Chen Daolin was responsible for formulating it.
And Montoya asked Chen Daolin a question that Chen Daolin himself ignored.
"Your Excellency...... What I want to ask is, does our Peerless Martial God Sect allow clergy to marry?"
"Huh!?"
Chen Daolin was stunned.
This was something he ignored when formulating the canon.
According to Montoya, the Temple of Light is clearly stipulated that high-ranking clergy are not allowed to marry!
The senior clergy, of course, including the Pope. Specifically in the Temple of Light, generally speaking, only some people who slowly climb up from the low-level clergy will have family children and the like. Then there are some members of the Holy Order, who are not included in this commandment.
But in any case, the Pope must never get married! The Temple of Light has been in church for thousands of years, and I have never heard of a Pope who has a wife!
This question annoyed Chen Daolin a little.
Do you need to ask?!
Uncle has worked hard to come to this place and start this business, is it to make himself a monk? !
Marry a wife! Of course you want to marry a wife!! How can you not let people marry a wife!! this is simply too inhumane!!
Chen Daolin's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude!
Montoya remained silent, and then slowly asked the second question:
"So...... My lord, if marriage is allowed, then the rules of my religion are that men are allowed to take several wives?"
"Huh?" Chen Daolin suddenly became calm.
And also...... Such a good thing?!
Montoya continued solemnly: "My lord, according to the imperial code of my Roland Empire, my Roland people are monogamous, and only the emperor and royal family can be excluded from this case. ”
All right. This is also an important slander of Chen Daolin against the Roland Empire after he came to this world.
As a backward, evil, and ignorant feudal civilization, what kind of monogamy is it doing! Do you know what is the superiority of feudalism! Do you know what is the greatest welfare project of traversing the masses!!
Crossing can't build a harem.,It's just a loss of more than half of the fun!!
"That's what the Imperial Code says...... Can we be accommodating?" Chen Daolin asked embarrassedly.
Montoya's expression remained the same, still a businesslike look, but he replied. But it undoubtedly made Chen Daolin very excited: "That's the case, my lord! Although the imperial legal code clearly stipulates monogamy. However, the newly established Religious Laws of the Empire also had explicit provisions that allowed and recognized special forms of marriage customs for some special new religions, provided that these marriage customs did not violate the rule of the royal family of the Roland Empire. According to a real-life case, the year before last there was a small and emerging religion in the South. It is called Lunatic, and its followers are all women, and this religion allows women to marry more than one woman. The matter was later discussed by the Imperial Government after intense discussion, and this special case was agreed and allowed, except that only Lunatic followers could follow this special marriage custom. So, there are such examples ahead. If the canons of the Musou Martial God Cult formulated by you are contrary to the Imperial Code in terms of folk marriage customs, you can also make a special declaration and file it with the government, which should be acceptable. ”
Lunaticism, a small all-female religion?
More than one daughter marries?
I rub ...... It's crazy, isn't it!!
Darling swallowed hard and looked at Montoya embarrassedly.
How many can we marry?
Learn from the Arabs?
Or learn Mormonism?
At the same time, he couldn't help but complain a little about Montoya.
You say you're just not going to be flexible!
It's the kind of interesting thing you need to find a time to ask the Pope for advice in private...... On an occasion like this now, at a regular group meeting, how can you make people embarrassed to express their position......
Chen Daolin looked at his group of people sitting on the left and right sides...... Well. Mainly looked at the elf Barossa and Rodelle with empty eyes.
Baron Pierre and the others hung their heads wisely, not daring to meet the Pope's embarrassed eyes at this moment.
Barossa and Lodel both blushed, but the elf also lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Daolin, while Lodel stared at the Pope with a smile.
"Ahem...... Ahem, that ......" Chen Daolin pretended to be majestic and muttered for a while, before he said in a deep voice: "This...... Principle...... Only...... That one...... Let's not limit the number. ”
Burst!
There was a laugh from the little maid Xia Xia behind him, Chen Daolin glared fiercely, and the little maid realized that she was in trouble. I quickly found an excuse and ran out of the conference room.
Barossa's face was red, and she almost hung her head down to her chest.
As for Rodelle...... This chick glared at Chen Daolin fiercely, but the look in her eyes seemed to say: You know each other!
I thought that this thing would be fooled, but I didn't expect this damn Montoya to throw out a third question:
"So, my lord. There is one more thing that you would like to clarify...... There is no limit on the number of marriages, so what about the people to marry?
Why are you so so problematic with your sister!!
Chen Daolin finally became angry: "Yes, yes, yes, yes!, no matter who you want to be with!!"
Montoya didn't seem to feel Chen Daolin's anger, raised her eyelids and glanced at His Majesty the Pope: "Is it okay to be with whom......?" What about the same sex? Do I also allow marriage between people of the same sex?"
Chen Daolin gritted his teeth! You Montoya did it on purpose, right? You don't ask about so many things, just grab the matter of marriage and ask about it?!
"Quasi!" Chen Daolin stared at the Holy Knight viciously: "If you like Ade, I will officiate the wedding for the two of you tomorrow!"
......
In June, summer is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and in this dry northwest, the ground temperature is the worst enemy for those working in the open air because of the lack of vegetation on the ground and the scorching sun on the surface.
Even so, little by little, the new city is showing its outline.
Every day at a gathering place outside the new city. There is a constant stream of vehicles coming and going. Tens of thousands of people gathered here, attracting many caravans from the surrounding area, especially the city of Rova, who brought with them a large number of goods of all kinds of daily necessities for sale.
Moreover, Chen Daolin made it clear that he welcomed these merchants who came to do business, not only took the initiative to divide an area for them to station, but also ordered the military team to send people to them to maintain law and order and protect the safety of these merchants and goods.
Of course. The most important thing is that Chen Daolin, intentionally or unintentionally, promoted his Peerless Martial God Sect to these merchants. His intention was simple: he wanted these wandering merchants to spread some interesting things about their new religion to all over the world.
Before you go on a large-scale mission, you should be familiar with each other.
There are a lot of people coming and going, and gradually there are more foreigners here. It's a little messy.
Every day, more and more foreign faces appeared outside the gathering place, and in addition to the merchants who came to do business, there were also many people from near and far, some craftsmen, farmers, or idle people, who heard that great works were going on here. Just come and try your luck to see if you can find a job to do and make some hard-earned money.
For these people who came here, Chen Daolin also expressed a great welcome. He handed over the matter to Baron Pierre and his son, and asked them to send people to set up a recruitment point in the market outside the gathering place, and recruited these later people together and organized them into several temporary groups to work as craftsmen. Mining, farming, blah blah blah.
What makes Chen Daolin even more proud is that his new city has not yet been built, but many businessmen who have come to do business have already expressed great interest in the loess bricks that Chen Daolin fired here.
These merchants had a close-up look at some of the houses made of loess bricks, especially the temple of the True Monarch. I am very satisfied with the texture of the loess bricks.
There have already been requests from Chen Daolin to buy some of these loess bricks.
Even, there are some merchants who are more thoughtful, and Chen Daolin proposed to buy the firing process.
How could Chen Daolin agree to such a request?!
He also plans to make money by selling loess bricks in the future!
For the procurement of loess bricks. Chen Daolin took a welcoming attitude, but also made it clear that the scale of the brick-burning is not large enough at present, and that he will expand the scale of the brick-burning yard in the future, and only after meeting his own engineering needs will he consider exporting the rich output.
As for those who have their own craft ideas...... Chen Daolin showed a ruthless side!
He asked Martin to send a military team to be stationed around the brick-burning yard, clearly marking out a forbidden area, and no outsiders were allowed to enter!
In just a few days, the people of the military group caught several spies sent by other chambers of commerce to explore the process, and these people tried to enter the brick-burning field to secretly learn the brick-burning process, but were caught by the people of the military group.
Chen Daolin's treatment was to whip twenty whips fiercely, hang them outside the market for a day, and then put them back!
Among them, there was an unlucky ghost, the head of a chamber of commerce, who sent people to try to buy off the workers of the brick-burning yard, and sent people to disguise themselves as traders selling daily necessities, and ran to the artisan residential area of the gathering place, trying to get close to the craftsmen of the brick-burning yard, but was caught by the patrol of the military group.
Chen Daolin was furious and ordered all the people of this chamber of commerce to be arrested from the bazaar, all the goods confiscated, all the people were whipped with twenty lashes, and then driven out of their own territory! At the same time, it was clearly announced that this chamber of commerce would be persona non grata here in the future, and they would be forbidden to come to their own territory to do business.
It's not that no one has ever thought of being hard with Chen Daolin.
But these chambers of commerce, even if some of them are not weak, they also feed some of their own guard thugs and the like, but this kind of guard thug, where is the opponent of a fierce man like Montoya?!
As for wanting to take the official route and put pressure on Chen Daolin?
No kidding!
There are also people who don't have long eyes to do this. There were two chambers of commerce who didn't know how to buy off the officials in Rova City, and came here to talk to Chen Daolin about conditions.
After all, nominally, Chen Daolin's land is also the jurisdiction of Rowa City.
But the two officials came to Chen Daolin with a few representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and Chen Daolin was not angry, and led them to his warehouse with a smile on his face.
Open a storeroom, and there is a mountain of military weapons in the Tulip family! swords, shields, armor, riding guns, and bows and arrows!
Enough to arm two infantry regiments!
Seeing this kind of thing, those officials and businessmen suddenly turned colorless!!
In the Roland Empire, hoarding ordnance was definitely a felony! But Chen Daolin hoarded the Tulip family's ordnance...... That's a deep thing!
Without the support of the Tulip Family, who can have so many Tulip Family's standard ordnance?!
Armaments that can arm two infantry regiments!!
After learning that there might be a tulip family standing behind this master, all those who dared to fight his idea all died down!
The two chambers of commerce even hurriedly sent someone to meet Chen Daolin, gave him a generous gift, and groveled to express his apologies.
Watch the new city gradually become larger, watch the buildings take shape day by day, and watch the market outside the residence become more and more lively......
Chen Daolin also had a sense of pride in his heart.
He even had a habit of riding around his new town and the markets outside every day before the sun went down, as long as he had nothing else to do.
At the same time, I enjoyed the reverent eyes of the soldiers patrolling the military group, as well as the awe-inspiring gazes from the crowd.
Chen Daolin was very proud.
He didn't know that in the past two days, there was a beam of eyes in the bazaar, quietly looking at him curiously......
"Peerless Martial God Sect? hum...... Interesting. ”
