Blackstone Code Chapter 316: A person representing theocratic power is an unbeliever
"Blackstone Password()"
Are the ignorant regions and countries, the rulers as ignorant as the people?
Certainly not, ignorant, backward, closed, it is actually a means for the ruler to rule the people, this is like the blockade of knowledge by the aristocratic class in the past, incompetent rulers do not want to be owned by the people they rule The ability to think independently.
They want all people to be fools, idiots, just do what they want every day, don't think about it so much, because the more things you think about, the more unstable the ruling power will be.
For example, when people start to think "why me", rulers start to panic.
Because after the question "why me" is followed by "why not you" and "how to change".
So no matter how stupid the area is, the ruler will not be stupid, just like the high priest in front of Lynch.
He has many children, and among his children are several unbelievers, such as the youngest.
They were born in a very good era in the eyes of the high priest, communication, transportation, and social progress. These children went to study abroad and were exposed to some of the most cutting-edge technologies and cultures in the world. They have already left the category of ignorance. , they began to examine the society in which they were born.
Knowing that sending a child out will bring some possible unstable factors to the society, but why does the high priest still want to send his child out, and is still planning to send the last child out?
Because he is not a fool, or is not foolish as people imagine, he knows that people can be foolish, but rulers can't.
If a fanatical believer really takes the position of high priest, it will definitely not bring religious prosperity, but destruction. He hopes that one of his children will be an unbeliever who can successfully infiltrate the believers. Become a high priest and take over your own reign.
In fact, the high priest himself can be regarded as an unbeliever, and it is precisely because he holds this important position that he makes them understand that there is no **** in this world?
Even if there were, those gods would have rested long ago, or left. After decades of countless prayers and sacrifices, the gods have never had the slightest bit of feedback.
He was terrified at first. When he first became a high priest, he was very uneasy and frightened. He found his father, the previous high priest, and talked about these things.
His fear and anxiety came from the lack of response from the gods. He thought that the gods hated him and didn't like him, so he didn't respond to his prayers.
How can a person who is detested by even the gods become a qualified high priest?
Until his father, the last high priest, a well-deserved religious leader in the province, told him personally that there is no God in this world!
At that moment, the faith collapsed, but he survived, he became his father, and everyone thought a high priest should be.
Mysterious, friendly, but distanced from people, and favored by the gods, often listening to the teachings from the gods.
But this is actually not the solution. With the expansion of the international community, more and more foreigners come to Nagalil, which cannot be resisted.
No matter how closed the country is, it can't stop the frenzy of the "gold diggers", they will come, everyone knows from the beginning.
And these people will bring some terrible things, such as ideas, and their ideas will start to awaken people who have been fooled by regimes and theocracy.
Their guesses were correct, so they expelled some merchants who brought dangerous ideas, and left some merchants who were willing to join them in not treating people like people, and continue to exploit the whole society.
But this can't last long. I don't know if it will be a few years, a decade or a few decades later, all this will eventually be broken. At that time, what will the angry people do?
They will tear apart everything that was above the mountain above them in the past and establish a new order. Today, these priests and noble families are so honorable and invincible. When the real "Great Destruction" comes, they will How miserable.
So when Lynch joked that the religion that advocates eating horse feces to cure diseases has a foundation and believers in the Federation, the high priest was moved.
It's a retreat, and this retreat is so... wonderful, yes, wonderful!
The Commonwealth is rich, but their people are also stupid, or rather ignorant. This is not much different from the locals. He doesn't expect his beliefs to be comparable to the largest religion in the Commonwealth, but even if only Ten thousand people believe in the gods they believe in.
These 10,000 people donate one dollar a month, which is 10,000 federal sols, or more than one million galils. This money is enough for their family to live decently.
Even if the things here are thrown away, their future life will be carefree.
Thinking of this, the high priest already had some ideas. He originally planned to send his youngest son, who was also the most favored young son, to Gevra. As the country with the best market prices in the world, Gevra not only High status and good development potential.
But now that the High Priest's mind has changed, perhaps the Federation is the most suitable place.
He thought about this, he had already made a decision in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long it had passed.
"Just now the gods were calling me...", he explained his absence, an explanation that fits his identity, "What did we just talk about?"
"The Commonwealth and those ignorant religions!" Lynch gave a little hint.
"Yes, the Federation, and religion." The high priest nodded noncommittally, and he quickly changed the subject, "I heard that you are going back in the next few days, will you come again in the future?"
Many people know that Lynch wants to return to the Federation, and the high priest naturally knows it, but he is a little unsure whether Lynch will come again.
To be honest, these people from the provincial governor created a problem for Lynch this time. Originally, the high priest didn't care and could watch the fun, but now he thinks that these people's brains are really useless, and everything is just looking at Interests, if you don't understand, look at the long-term.
He was very worried, worried that Lynch would not come back after being targeted by these people, which is not a good thing.
Soon, Lynch's answer reassured him, "Why not? I like it here, and I'll be back. This time I'm just shipping some things back and looking for a project to work with locally."
This answer was a relief to the high priest, who asked in a slightly consultative tone, "My youngest son is of school age, he is younger than you, for young people, go outside A look at the world will be a great help in their growth.”
"What do you think if I let him go to the Federation?"
Lynch certainly cannot object, this is also his plan, "It must be very good, although the Federation did not participate in this world war, did not show our military strength and scientific and technological strength, but we have to say that we have always been in technology. It is at the forefront of the world.”
"We just happened to meet a president who was a little stupid, but we're not going to be stupid any more."
"In the Commonwealth, your child can enjoy the best education in the world, the most relaxed attitude, and the most free environment, which cannot be given to him anywhere else!"
This is not an exaggeration. In a semi-feudal country like Gafra, people can't discuss the royal family, things related to the royal family, the powerful and sensitive current affairs.
There is only the Federation. Even if someone stands outside the Presidential Palace with a sign saying "The President is a fool", as long as he does not make a loud noise to affect the office order in the Presidential Palace, as long as he does not illegally invade the warning marked with a yellow line outside the Presidential Palace Within the range, no one can do anything with him.
Under the Federal Constitution, releasing, expressing, and transmitting ideas is the most basic right of every human being, but in some other countries it is difficult to do so.
The high priest made the decision right away~IndoMTL.com~ He's going with you, any questions? ", Lynch shook his head, and the high priest patted the armrest, "Then this matter is settled. "
It seems that the High Priest sent his most favored young son to go with Lynch in order to trouble Lynch to take care of this young son on the road or even in the Federation, but it is not.
Lynch's conflicts and disagreements with some people in the province have not been resolved. Someone has already spoken out, which will make Lynch run into a wall. There are even rumors that if Lynch doesn't stand in line for a day, he will not be able to leave Nagalil for one day. Leaving and not allowing him to come back.
If he wants to walk, he can't walk, or even he can't walk. The high priest doesn't know how Lynch will leave, but it doesn't prevent him from being personal at this time. If his youngest son goes with Lynch, he won't Someone dared to intercept him and his ship.
Because doing that means not only intensifying the conflict with Lynch, but also offending one of the biggest forces in Magurana Province, and offending so many people at once, these people must seriously consider this is not worth doing.
Of course, the high priest did have the intention of letting Lynch take care of his youngest son in the Federation. He sold a favor to Lynch in order to get feedback from Lynch.
Both of them knew it well, and the matter was settled.
Originally, the high priest wanted to continue today's activities to remind Lynch of the local value of religious beliefs, but now he is led by Lynch's nose, and he is too lazy to talk about the supremacy of theocracy.
I casually asked him if he was used to it here, and if there was anything he was not used to, and after giving him a few blessings from the gods without money, he let Lynch leave.
After Lynch left, the high priest sat in the empty room with a strange expression, some smile, some sarcasm, and some self-deprecation.
