Chapter 553 Damn, we are not birdmen(1/2)
The church's top leaders did not say that they had not thought of stopping maritime merchants from doing trade with the Americas.
But after some of them made this suggestion, they were immediately rejected by Pope Carlos, and they didn't even listen to the suggester's explanation.
In Carros's view, only a brainless person can think of such a proposal.
Today's maritime merchants are not comparable to those fools.
The materials and wealth of European countries, including the church, are all guaranteed by those merchants who do maritime trade.
If merchants are not allowed to trade with America, then they will teach these people how to maintain a luxurious life.
You know, now only trade with America is the most profitable transaction.
In addition, products on the American continent, such as shampoo, shower gel, fine salt, sugar, milk tea and other daily consumables, have become very popular in the church.
If they don’t trade, they will never be able to use those products again, right?
After getting used to the products from America, if he was letting Carlos return to his past life, he would not agree even if he beat him to death.
Moreover, the church understands the thoughts of the merchants of this era very well.
For money, they even dared to fight against God. If the church blocks their path to wealth, these merchants will hate the church.
And these merchants have money, boats, and people.
This is simply forcing them to defect to the American Song Empire. Carlos would never do such a stupid and idiotic thing.
So, he did not agree to the proposal.
Those marquis don't know anything about this.
They were already very happy just to see that the church did not stop them from continuing the trade.
I will still pay attention to the things behind this.
As long as you can continue to trade and make money, there is nothing else to do with them.
Yes, it doesn't matter.
In this way, the church declared that Satan came to America, saying that America was paradise and base camp for the devils.
But on the other hand, it did not stop the merchants from crossing the Atlantic Ocean and heading to the American continent to continue their trade.
In addition, the church continues to sell exorcist items, holy water, and indulges to the merchants.
The excuse and name of selling indulgences is also very funny. It is said that trading with the American continent is deepening the sin, because the people there are all devils.
Therefore, if you do trade, you need to buy indulgences to offset the sin of trade with the devils.
The church made a fortune.
Although the merchants complained a lot about this, they also agreed to this matter.
Who made their families live in the Americas?
However, because of this church practice, many businessmen have the idea of bringing their families to America.
However, because of the rumors about the church, the families of the merchants shook their heads when they heard that they were going to America.
In their eyes, America is definitely the kind of dark world burning with flames, and the people there are also guys with horns on their heads and bat wings behind them.
Maybe, green flames will spew out as soon as you open your mouth.
Therefore, although the merchants were a little disappointed, they were still ready to slowly enlighten their families and strive to leave Europe in the future.
These people have understood the church.
As the Song Empire tried the priests and pastors, the church was not a servant of God at all.
Will God's servants still care so much about money?
God does not need money.
A bunch of liars!
Many merchants will curse in their hearts with one or two words to relieve their anger when buying indulgences.
Trade between the two continents continues, but the situation looks very strange.
The concession passed everything that happened here through American warships traveling between the two places and placed it in front of Zhang Tie's desk.
As for what decision Zhang Tie will make, he will have a headache when dealing with this matter.
Of course, the rumor about the church was also spread by the senior officials of Portugal and France.
However, this rumor has not had a great impact on both countries.
After all, they were unhappy with the church, so they did not take this seriously at all.
However, they sent troops into some villages and arrested the church personnel who spread such rumors.
The nobles don’t believe it or not, but the people at the bottom of the two countries are different.
They have no brains and are very easy to believe in other people's words.
If they believed the rumors about the church, it would seriously affect their cooperation with the Song Empire in the Americas.
Therefore, Portugal and France had to make efforts to begin to eliminate the spreaders of rumors that the church had sneaked into the two countries.
However, the rumors of the church still had a little impact on the people of Portugal and France, and began to develop slowly in a worse direction as time went by.
The concession intelligence personnel, who saw that the trend was slowly getting worse, immediately fed the news back to the American continent.
These news were sorted into documents and placed in front of Zhang Tie two months later.
Of course, when Zhang Tie saw the information from the European Concession, his mouth curled up and showed a sneer.
It’s just too much to deceive others. Do they think such rumors can affect us?
It's so naive.
Moreover, the lower-class people in Portugal and France were affected by these rumors and began to cause a little turmoil.
The Chinese genes in the concession have been attacked by some fanatical believers from time to time.
Although there were no casualties, this momentum was not very good.
The top leaders of France are not happy with the church, but the people at the bottom are different.
There are still some crazy believers in the lower class of France.
After all, the church has covered the European continent for a thousand years, and believers are spread throughout the corners of Europe.
This is what makes Zhao Hongyu and the others the most helpless.
Fortunately, the senior executives of Portugal and France have been suppressing it, so no major incident has happened yet.
However, if this matter is allowed to continue to develop, the situation will not be very optimistic in the future.
After gently putting down the documents in his hand, Zhang Tie fell into deep thought.
The "Jie Cult" has now begun to develop, and Jenny has also joined the "Jie Cult". With this girl's joining, the "Jie Cult" has developed very rapidly, and at the same time, it has also established the Inquisition belonging to the "Jie Cult" itself.
Yes, the Inquisition of the ‘Jie Cult’.
However, the Juejiao Juejue is completely different from the church judges on the European continent. The church judges on the European continent are targeting the lower class people who arbitrarily accused some women of witches or merchants of blasphemers to satisfy their perverted selfish desires and their ulterior motives.
The Judgment of the Jie Sect is different, it was established specifically to deal with the false gods.
The members of the Jie Cult's inquisition are all crazy believers.
They have to receive training and learn various killing skills and combat abilities.
In order to deal with the church priests and pastors who continue to come to America in the future.
Although the riot was suppressed last year, Zhang Tie would not be so stupid that he thought the church would completely stop and no longer send people.
The wealth here in America is fatal attraction to the church, a wealth-greedy organization.
Therefore, they will definitely not give up.
Now, there is another rumor on the European continent. So should we use the "intercept teaching"?
Zhang Tie began to think about this issue.
The establishment of Jiejiao was very short and its foundation was not very sufficient.
Although it has developed rapidly, the number of believers is still very small than that of the church.
There are only more than 20,000 believers in the entire American continent. These people finally joined after various tests.
Because Zhang Tie’s original intention is to rather be insignificant than be indiscriminate.
Therefore, the firmness of these believers in their faith is unquestionable.
In terms of quality, it is much higher than that of the church believers in Europe.
Of course, with the role of the "divine artifact", the Europeans living on the American continent gradually changed their minds and began to believe in the European pseudo-god theory.
There is a famous saying that says it well, if you say lies ten thousand times, that is the truth.
This sentence is not unreasonable.
In short, there is a big environment here in America, and people's mentality cannot be unaffected in such a big environment.
