Chapter 680
Chapter 680 – Chapter 670: Black And White [ First Update ]
“Young master, three bishops have come over. They want me to abolish the household registration of the poor.”Barton came to the temple and spoke to Dudian.
Dudian asked: “What do you think?”
Barton whispered: “I think young master has other purposes. But in my opinion, we must pacify them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the outer wall will be in chaos.”
“You know more about the lives of the poor than anyone else. Don’t you want this to come true?”Dudian said without raising his head.
Barton bitterly smiled, “Of course I hope that the poor will not be bullied. But to be honest, it is not worth offending others for the sake of the poor. Even if all the poor are grateful to us, it is just gratitude to us. But the nobles and civilians control the land and farms as well as other high-end resources. If they resist, it is a bit dangerous.”
“Did the three bishops tell you these words?”Dudian casually asked.
Barton blushed: “I think they are right. I also think so.”
Dudian quietly put down his chopsticks and quietly looked at Barton, “You see, even you are not willing to help these people. Who is willing to help them?”? Because no one has changed the current situation, the abnormal situation has always existed. It is reasonable to exist. This sentence is BULLSH * T! If you go back to the slums and continue to live, do you still think the words of the three bishops are right?”
Barton was stunned. After a while he hesitated: “But, to us…”
“The nobles haven’t jumped up yet and the bishops have jumped up. They usually talk about benevolence but at the critical moment they are the first to stand up against benevolence.”Dudian said in a cold voice: “If someone in the Holy See tries to persuade you about this, then immediately deal with it!”
Barton saw that Dudian was angry and bowed his head: “I know.”
Neuss saw that Dudian’s anger had subsided after Barton left, he whispered: “Young Master, don’t be angry. These people from the Holy See talk about it in an open and aboveboard manner. They spread the faith of God and love all living things. But you also know that this is just fooling the civilians. It will really affect their own livelihood. No one will hesitate.”
Dudian coldly said: “That’s why we need to clean them up!”
Neuss was a bit puzzled.
Dudian continued: “Why did the monastery set up the Holy Church and the Dark Church? The purpose is to do bad things and to catch thieves!”! If the Holy Church had become the same as the dark church then what was the need for them to exist? There are enough people who have done bad things for us, but there are fewer and fewer people who have done good things for us. In the long run, what prestige does the holy church have? What is the need to exist?”
Neuss woke up and felt ashamed. He admired Dudian’s foresight.
“The people will trust the holy church because of the dark church. Some of the Knights of the holy church have killed the enemy bravely. They have sacrificed their blood and sacrificed their lives to gain the trust of the people! If one day the people think that the holy church and the dark church are the same as the vampires then what should they use to manage them? Should they rely on force and deterrence?”Dudian snorted, “Richelieu has failed to manage the dark church and the holy church at the same time for a long time. The two places have been mixed up. The White has become cloudy and the Black is not dark enough. The two swords have become incomplete so they have failed!”
“Why don’t some nobles or military officials believe in the god of Light?”? “It’s because they have been in contact with the god of light for a long time. They know that they are fighting for their own interests so they don’t believe in the god of Light.”Dudian continued: “If the holy church was pure then there would be no military and magistrate in the outer wall. Unfortunately, Richelieu didn’t use the two swords well. He only knew to use the dark church to promote the strength and holiness of the Holy Church. He didn’t know that corruption would arise in the inner wall of a powerful force!”
“Some people can see the corruption at a glance, so they won’t believe it. It’s like you see an apple that is rotten inside. Will you eat it? No.”
Neuss nodded and said: “Young Master, I have been taught.”
Dudian finished the dishes and poured out a small cup of white wine from the white porcelain bottle. He felt a trace of warmth in his stomach. The coldness in his body and the cold feeling in his left hand had dispersed a lot, his mood also became a little better.
This white wine was brewed by him. It was the only one in the entire outer wall and was not sold to the outside world. Other people here liked to drink red wine. The pungent smell of white wine was unbearable and he couldn’t swallow it. But he liked to drink it.
However, he didn’t dare to drink too much. He needed to keep his mind clear at all times. As long as he drank until the cold air in his body slightly subsided, he would stop.
The night was long. Dudian looked at the super chip in the room and learned from it. Aisha accompanied him. She sat quietly like a virtuous wife.
Dudian looked back at her when he was tired. He felt that his fatigue had subsided a lot.
At the same time, in the bustling commercial district outside the Utoto Mountain, the lights were bright. People came and went from the densely populated commercial district. The relaxing and lively night life began, carriages with noble flags were going in and out of some high-end places.
In the homes of these nobles, some of the heads of the families were frowning, unable to fall asleep.
The night would eventually pass, and Dawn would break.
Amidst all kinds of anxiety, anger, and unwillingness, the nobles in the business district received the morning newspaper that had been sent out by the Holy See and the military ministry today. The headlines on the front page were almost identical.
When everyone saw the contents of the newspaper, they were all stunned.
If the news of “Abolishing the household registration of the poor”that had been released yesterday was a bomb, then today’s news was equivalent to a clap of thunder!
First of all, the Holy See and the military confirmed that the plan of abolishing the household registration of the poor would not change. Furthermore, all the poor could apply to leave the slums and live in the commoner district. However, they had to follow the rules of the commoner district in their daily lives, and they had to pay basic taxes, they could not sleep on the streets, they had to sleep in houses, and they could not be naked in the street. And all the poor who entered the civilian areas could apply for a house and a job opportunity from the military, but they had to pay rent and payroll taxes to the military every month..
Other than a series of policies aimed at the slums, the real thunder was the news aimed at the nobles and civilians.
First of all, all civilians would have the opportunity to apply to become nobles. As long as they met the corresponding conditions, they could become nobles!
And the nobles could apply to enter the inner wall and obtain the title of nobility!
