The situation in the Holy City is not too good.
After a war, people from the slums poured in, and it was extremely difficult to restore order.
The antagonism between the rich and the poor is serious, especially the wealthy households in the inner city who have been robbed, and the people in the slums are regarded as enemies.
And the people in the slums began to walk into the inner city in a big way.
Many people took advantage of the chaos and made a fortune. When they saw the rich man, they stopped being submissive and spent money lavishly.
Therefore, the biggest task of the church at the moment is to reconcile the contradiction between the two.
It can be said that the task is arduous...
Dajing took the opportunity to recruit people to strengthen the city's defense.
To the west of the Holy City is the solid parish of the church. Although there is no movement at the moment, there is no guarantee that it will break out.
The most important thing is to consolidate his position and take time to help Pope Sorje.
Lai Gouer was coordinating matters in the Temple Mount as usual.
Now part of the Temple Mount has been converted into Dajing office space.
It's not because the place is good, but because it's convenient to ensure the safety of Father Solje.
Although Sorje became the pope, the foundation of the old order in the Holy City has been completely destroyed, and he is no different from a polished commander.
For now, we can only protect it as a mascot.
While Lai Gouer was at his desk taking notes, a soldier came to report the great scene.
"Sir Lai, the capital has sent a group of people over. The leader is Wu Sheng. He said that he was ordered by Marquis Jianye to see you immediately. He is now waiting at the foot of the Temple Mountain."
Wu Sheng? Why do I seem to have heard it somewhere? It sounds familiar.
Lai Gouer raised his head: "Please come in quickly!"
Not long after, Wu Sheng entered the room.
After a long sea voyage, he stayed in Fika for a while and immediately transferred to the Holy City.
The fatigue along the way made Wu Sheng look like he had lost weight.
Although the food and drinks on the ship are all provided with top-notch expenses, it is really difficult to adapt to life at sea.
Seeing Lai Gouer, Wu Sheng was completely relieved. He stepped forward and introduced him proactively: "Wu Sheng, I have met Mr. Lai."
Lai Gouer quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Wu Sheng sat down.
"I heard that Mr. Wu came to see me on the order of Marquis Jianye. I wonder what news Marquis Jianye brought?"
Wu Sheng said: "This visit has nothing to do with the imperial court. It is a private decision between Your Majesty and Marquis Jianye."
As he spoke, he took out the envelope he had prepared for a long time and handed it over.
"This letter is Marquis Jianye's request for some of your plans in the Holy City. I will be responsible for executing part of it, and the rest will be left to Lord Lai."
This letter is very thick, and it is the plan that Fang Zhengyi and Wu Sheng came up with after more than ten days of continuous communication.
Wu Sheng was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
Lai Gou'er read the letter for half an hour before putting it down, and said blankly: "I understand the meaning of the letter, but which part is Mr. Wu responsible for? The Marquis said above that I should listen to your opinions more. , where should we start?”
Wu Sheng stretched his waist and said: "Master Lai, I came here in a hurry and haven't taken a closer look in the Holy City. How about we go outside and talk while we walk?"
"Yes, please!"
.....
Two people were walking on the streets of the Holy City.
There are many foreigners on the street, and they have become accustomed to faces from the East.
After all, the people patrolling the streets and the soldiers guarding the city are all Dajing people.
After seeing it a lot, I feel like it’s nothing special.
Wu Sheng glanced at the scenery on the street and said slowly: "When I first came here, I thought it was very bad here, but I was quite surprised when I arrived in the Holy City. Although some places here were seriously damaged, it can be seen that the foundation is excellent and completely Not inferior to the capital city.”
Lai Gou'er explained with a smile: "This was the original seat of the Pope. It was built with the church's manpower, financial and material resources. No city in the entire West can match it. Unfortunately, many beautiful buildings were destroyed by fire. It was burned to the ground. Rebuilding is no longer possible."
Wu Sheng was noncommittal: "Speaking of construction, Marquis Jianye made a special statement. He hopes that you will immediately revise the Yellow Book here, count the population of the Holy City, and at the same time start building houses for the poor. In the future, it can be divided and managed according to areas. This can save money. Lots of administrative headaches.”
"First of all, we need to repair some toilets."
"Ah?" Lai Gou'er picked his ears and felt that he didn't hear clearly.
"That's right, Marquis Jianye told me to build more toilets and make them better." Wu Sheng stroked his beard and was a little puzzled, but he no longer bothered about it. "Is there anyone coming with me this time?" Shao Dajing’s craftsman.”
"In addition to toilets, the Marquis also said that we should build some small buildings with the characteristics of Dajing and the Holy City, mainly with local craftsmen from Dajing and a large number of local craftsmen. It is best to build a six-story building to divide the community. .”
"In advance, he has roughly planned three communities, named Scholarly Home, Wenting Yayuan, and Four Seasons Pastoral."
"Of course, this is just the most basic." Wu Sheng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, looked at the memo information on it and said, "There are some key projects, and the Marquis hopes you can speed up the progress."
"For example... Taoyuan County First People's Hospital, Taoyuan Golden Music Hall, Ninja Chicken Restaurant, Red Romantic Club."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! What a weird name these are, why are they used?" Lai Gou'er said quickly.
"I don't know why the Marquis has such strange names, but that's not important. He can do whatever makes him happy. There will be more later."
"Education is the top priority. Mr. Hou said that we should start from childhood and build the primary school affiliated with Dongjiao University, the Shengcheng Experimental Primary School, and the Shengcheng Yucai Primary School branch.... All the teachers needed among them have been brought. But I need to find someone here to help compile the teaching materials."
“What is taught in these schools is Dajing’s culture, and Dajing’s language is a required course in these schools.”
Lai Gouer frowned and reminded: "The children here go to school through education provided by the church, and we also need to open a school ourselves..."
Wu Sheng raised his hand: "It doesn't matter, these princes have already considered it. The content taught in Dajing Academy must not conflict with the content of the church, and even theology can be taught. However, two new courses must be added...called What's going on, let me see."
"Oh, for logic class and critical thinking, Master Hou has already given me the outline."
After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he handed the memo message to Lai Gouer: "Generally speaking, these are the things that you need to move forward quickly. There are some other things, but they are all in my luggage. I will show them to you later."
"All in all, the Marquis has no particular restrictions on us doing things, as long as we do things beautifully."
Lai Gouer looked troubled: "Some things are easy to say, but there are a lot of things to do, and the task is a bit heavy."
"There is nothing wrong with you thinking that way. The task is indeed heavy, but the Marquis has no time requirements, so take your time."
Lai Gouer could only nod in agreement, and then asked: "Mr. Wu, what are you responsible for?"
"Is there a brothel here? Take me to see it first."
