Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 116 Challenge
When did you find out about this? "After careful consideration for a while, Wufeng asked cautiously.
"My lord, it should have been a while ago, I guess it should have happened half a year ago, but since there are a considerable number of immigrants from the western continent in our entire northwest, we didn't pay enough attention at that time, I also thought that it was just the religious beliefs brought by these immigrants from their hometowns. We just routinely grasped it. The daily monitoring work was handed over to the local internal affairs department. It is estimated that they have not attracted enough attention. Neither we nor they have taken other measures. Special precautions. Not long ago, our eyeliner in Northwestern University reported that many teachers from the Western Continent were advocating religions from the Western Continent in the university, and there was a big debate because of different teachings. Attention, after investigation, it is found that the situation is quite serious, and a small number of students in the university have accepted these teachings from the Western Continent, and gradually began to transform into believers, which is particularly worrying for my subordinates." Diao Su's face was also full. In the haze, the only eye is shining.
"The origin and family background of these students...?" Wu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"My lord, according to our investigation, there are about ten people in Northwest University who have become relatively devout believers, and there are about fifty more people who are still hesitating and accepting influence. These dozens of people Almost all of them are recruited from the society, and there are no local officials who we have trained in universities. Moreover, we have also analyzed the composition of these people. Most of these dozens of people are the children of immigrants from outside the empire. The family influence is relatively strong, and almost all their parents and relatives believe in religion." Diao Su obviously attached great importance to the infiltration of religion into the Northwest, and spent considerable energy on investigation and analysis.
Wufeng nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Diao Su's meticulous investigation. The result of the other party's investigation was not much different from what he expected. It has not spread in Northwest University. After all, it will take quite some time for the people of the empire to accept this teaching from the Western Continent. This requires the local rulers to adopt a supportive attitude.
But this has already given Wufeng a chill. After religion has permeated people's minds, fanatical believers can set all their struggle goals to dedicate their lives to the gods they believe in. This kind of spirit erupts The power is quite terrifying, if it is not well controlled, this kind of thing is enough to destroy everything. Wufeng used to study in the Western Continent, and traveled and studied in the Western Continent for quite a long time. During this time, he also witnessed believers discussing publicly under the altar of the school many times because of their different understandings of the teachings. There were many onlookers , I even went to observe it a few times out of curiosity, but maybe I was not a pious believer by nature, Wufeng found that these religious teachings were difficult for him to identify with, so he didn't have a good impression of these religions .
However, for various purposes, Wufeng also spent a certain amount of time during his studies to learn, 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 (the southern part of the Western Continent is called the Holy Bishop) , this religion originated in the central part of the Central Continent about four or five centuries ago. At first it was only spread among the ordinary people in the lower class in some parts of the Central Continent. Later, it flowed into the Western Continent three centuries ago and began to spread widely in the Western Continent. , on the contrary, it lost its market in its original birthplace and gradually shrank. Up to now, the Holy Spirit Church has become the well-deserved number one religion in the Western Continent, but there are not many people who believe in this religion in its original birthplace.
I remembered that when I was studying, those fanatical religious people had disputes and even conflicts because of the differences in the doctrines of different sects. The whole family could turn against each other because of different understandings of doctrines, no less than some radicals in the Central Mainland. Religion, even Wufeng shuddered. If the people in his own territory believed in those sects with radical doctrines, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
But Wufeng also knows that if he blindly wants to suppress the spread and development of these various and complex religions, it is an unwise move. In the flood. A wise ruler can make good use of the situation and divert this force to flow smoothly, which can make his rule more stable; a clever ruler can even use and control this force for his own use, and drive this force to add to his imperial ambitions. Of course, it depends on how the ruler thinks about it and what measures and methods he adopts. Wufeng believes that he will not be a fool, and he is confident that he is no less than anyone else when he uses these methods.
Seeing his master's face is cloudy and uncertain, and his expression changes are rarely visible, Diao Su also knows that he has caught a big fish this time, but it seems that his master is also a little uncertain, Diao Su really I don't understand how such things that don't seem too complicated can stump him who has always been calm and unrestrained in front of major events, but he also knows that he should not think too much about things that should not be considered and asked by himself, otherwise some things will Thinking too much may not be a blessing to me.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and I don't know how many times Wufeng walked around in the study room. Maybe he was tired from wandering around, so he slowly sat back in the big chair behind the desk, looking at him with deep eyes. Sunny outside the window.
"According to your information, there are also many people who believe in the Holy Spirit Cult in our Northwest?" Wu Feng finally asked.
"There should be quite a few of them in the four prefectures of Qingyang, Jinzhou, Bonan, and Guide. After all, immigrants from the Central and Western mainland account for about 30% of the total population of these four prefectures. Not counting, because most of them believe in their own primitive religion, and the immigrants from the western continent also account for about 10%, and most of them are religious." Diao Su replied while thinking, "But although they believe in religion, they are not the same as they are now. The situation in Northwestern University is somewhat different, because the origins of these immigrants are from all parts of the Western Continent, not the same region, and the sects they believe in are also different. According to the information we have now, they are now in religious belief. All aspects are still in a relatively scattered and unorganized state, and a relatively unified custom has not yet been formed. At least for now, we have not found any full-time religious personnel among them, such as missionaries and pastors.”
"The situation at Northwestern University is a little different. Among the so-called faculty members who are more active, apart from teaching some knowledge from the Western Continent, the rest of their leisure time is devoted to missionary affairs. He doubted whether their true identities would be a problem, so his subordinates have boldly sent personnel to the Western Continent to find out the details of these teachers, to see if there is anything suspicious, but the Western Continent is a long way away, and it will take at least three to five months The news will come back, and the real situation will not be known for a while." Diao Su added immediately.
Seeing that his subordinates are so thoughtful, Wufeng is very relieved. It seems that Diao Su is no less than himself in terms of political acuity and intelligence system command ability, and even surpasses him. You did not choose the wrong person, and nodded slightly: "Good job, you thought of it one step ahead of me. The purpose of introducing some teachers from the Western Continent was to let our people learn more about new knowledge from foreign countries. Thinking that it will bring about these by-products, it seems that this work should not be relaxed for a moment."
"Well, my lord, although the phenomenon in Northwest University is just beginning to emerge, but the subordinates are thinking that once their behavior spreads to the common people, especially those immigrants from the Western Continent, I am afraid that it will soon It forms a considerable force, so we must guard against it." After being praised by his superiors, Diao Su showed no arrogance, and still put forward his views indifferently.
"Well, that's for sure, of course we have to take the necessary countermeasures." Of course Wufeng would not reveal his deepest thoughts in front of his subordinates, and said with a faint smile: "Since the immigrants from the Western Continent all have a tradition of religious belief~ IndoMTL.com~Then it is impossible for us to forcibly suppress their religious freedom, we can guide them correctly. Of course, if it is someone with ulterior motives, it is another matter.”
"What do you mean, my lord...?" Diao Su had vaguely heard some meanings, but for a moment he couldn't fully comprehend the full meaning behind the boss's cryptic words, and his eyes of inquiry were firmly fixed. His gaze was on Wufeng's face.
"Those outstanding faculty members at Northwestern University are now stepping up monitoring and strictly restricting their activities outside of normal academic affairs activities. We will 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 Now, let’s go back to their hometown and spread the word slowly, if it’s just because of your love for religious affairs, then you can collect the situation of these people, especially their hobbies and temperament, maybe it will be useful to us.” Said In the end, Wufeng's eyes were deep, but a mysterious smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"What about folk religious activities?" Diao Su refused to let go of any question.
"Well, this is a problem. My opinion is to strengthen the monitoring to see if there are any people who have outstanding abilities in this area and have high prestige among the immigrants. Political attitudes and views on us at present, if there is a suitable candidate, let me know immediately." Wu Feng replied thoughtfully while rubbing his chin.
The master's words are meaningful, and have already faintly revealed his views on the follow-up issues. Even Diao Su couldn't help but admire his master's vision and far-reaching consideration. He bowed deeply, "The subordinate understands."
"Then you go." Nodding slowly, Wufeng nodded slowly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
