"If you're always this excited, count prime numbers and math will help you calm down."
Fang Zhengyi stood up and patted the priest on the shoulder, pushing him back to the chair.
But Father Solje still looked at Fang Zhengyi with hatred in his eyes.
Fang Zheng smiled with an indifferent expression: "Just now, I noticed that your belief has been shaken."
"I don't!"
"You have."
"No!"
"have."
Seeing that the priest was about to get angry again, Fang Zheng reached out and patted the priest on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I completely respect your ideals."
"I have gone through a lot of hardships along the way, and I have seen too many evil people. When I was young, I fanatically followed many people, including those who were magnanimous and selfless, those with high moral standards, and those who asked for orders for the people. All of these people sparkled in my heart. Always illuminates me.”
"But as I get older, I see more and more things, and the things I understand become more and more complex. Those who I once regarded as role models all fall from the altar and lose their glory."
"Since then, I have understood a truth. Those flawless people are just the idols I created in my heart. No one is perfect. But I am not disappointed by this. I even have a little joy in my heart. Because I firmly believe that the ideal is Really, faith is real, those shattered idols have fallen on the road to pursue their ideals. And I stepped over their corpses and continued to move forward."
"If you have a little heat and a little light, you can be like a firefly. You can also shine a little in the dark without waiting for a torch. If there is no torch from now on, I will be the only light."
"I am just saying this to tell you that although I think there are some aspects of the Taifu Sect that are not good, your personal beliefs are still pure and I have no prejudice against you."
Father Solje retorted: "You are just saying it with your empty teeth, right? It's not true!"
Although his expression was a little distorted, his tone softened a lot. I have to say that some of the heretical words quite touched him.
Father Solje was about to continue to refute, but Fang Zheng interrupted him and said: "I have a famous saying. Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. This sentence has been praised by countless people. Consider it a classic.”
"It can be seen that the readers of Dajing have the same vision as you, and we can say that we have the same destination by different paths. Each of us hopes to be in heaven, but what is different from you is that we do not believe in God. We believe that we can use our own hands to Use your own efforts to create heaven and create a world where everyone is unified and everyone is satisfied.”
Father Solje keenly caught the flaw in Fang Zheng's words and said disdainfully: "You are on the wrong track. People are born with sins. As long as they wash away their sins, they can go to heaven. But it is absolutely impossible to create a world where everyone is full. Yes, the human heart is boundless in its greed.”
"If the Holy Father was the first to be born, he should be the biggest sinner. After all, he is responsible for all the bad things now." Fang Zheng said in a nonchalant manner.
"..."
The priest tilted his head and stared blankly at the teapot at his hand.
Smash it down! Smash it down and the heretic will be completely wiped out!
Just when he was hesitating, Fang Zheng stood up suddenly and waved his hand: "You are right! The greed of human beings is infinite, but we can completely make progress to use unlimited material growth to make up for the shortcomings of human beings. I firmly believe that we will One day, even if it takes ten years, hundreds of years, and thousands of years, we will eventually be able to do it!”
The priest was shocked and looked at Fang Zhengyi's back in a daze.
This is a road that I have never imagined. I have to admire the oriental man in front of me for having such courage!
But after all, he still disagreed with Fang Zhengyi's words.
Father Solje said: "Master Fang, your daydream is very good, and I don't want to hear you attack the church for no reason again. Since you said that we reach the same goal by different paths, I just want to get a definite answer now. Can we preach? , the three conditions you mentioned before are really harsh and cannot satisfy us."
Fang Zheng smiled: "Of course you can. I have said so much just to let you feel the huge difference in concepts between East and West. What I think represents what the people think. If you copy the old methods of preaching in the West, you will definitely be in trouble in the country. Jing's head-knocking might even lead to conflicts, so I put forward three restrictive conditions, all for your own good."
"The purpose of letting you work and make money and build a church is to let you understand the culture and people's conditions so that you can make some localization changes in the future and be able to better preach. Setting goals for you is also to help you integrate into the big scene more quickly. As for the third point, It is a mandatory requirement. In Dajing Buddhism, many criminals once shaved their heads and entered the temple to avoid punishment. In order to prevent the same situation from happening in the Taifu Sect, this is a necessary process."
"You have to know that this is not just for the Taifu Sect. If a monk in our temple dies and wants to be reincarnated, he must get approval from the government. Can you understand?"
Father Sorje shook his head painfully: "I can't understand."
The Imperial Court in Da Jing didn’t believe that the divine hand could stretch out so long... Wouldn’t it be possible for him to escape even if he died?
"It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, as long as you know that this item can't be changed," Fang Zheng said.
"Although I hate some of your Taifu Holy See's practices of fooling and defrauding the weak, I have great goodwill toward you devout believers, so I will help you obtain the greatest benefits within my ability."
"What benefits?" Father Solje's eyes showed hope, completely ignoring that the heretic in front of him had once again slandered the church.
"I will provide you with work and make money, and I will provide you with interest-free loans to provide accommodation, and allow you to build churches in Taoyuan County after you get the approval. Of course, it is only allowed in Taoyuan County, and the court in other places does not allow it."
"Where in Taoyuan County? I've never heard of it!" Father Solje said dissatisfied, "And it seems like he's trying to stall me! I want to preach in the capital."
"Hmph! Prevaricating you? Let me put it bluntly, Taoyuan County is the number one county in our world. It is even more prosperous than the capital city. The people in the city are widely educated, with simple folk customs and extremely high quality. Let you You are working as a missionary in Taoyuan County, so you can have some fun!" Fang Zheng spoke loudly.
"So good?" Father Solje had doubts in his eyes.
"Because it's my official fiefdom, I can bypass the court's regulations and let you go. I'm personally funding this to help you! Do you still think I'm targeting you?" Fang Zheng said loudly.
"Ah, um... thank you." The priest's face turned red.
Whether this person is good or bad, his mind is a little messed up, and now he is completely unsure...
"But even if Taoyuan County is very good as you said, then when can we save enough money from working? The land price there must be very expensive."
Fang Zheng said: "Hey, no! Taoyuan County is really cheap compared to the outside world. Tea that is hard to find outside is extremely cheap in our county. However, the land price is indeed a bit more expensive, but you definitely don't have to worry about life. Yes. Okay, do you use copper coins to charge your card?"
"Why do you ask this?" Father Solje asked doubtfully.
"That's enough. I dare say that you will be happier earning two thousand copper coins a month in Taoyuan County than you will earn three thousand silver coins a month in the West! In this case, do you think you will still have difficulties?"
