On March 10, the streets of Tyumen were a little more bleak than the previous days.
At the end of the war, King Paul I set out to return to the royal capital, Petersburg. Winter was about to end, and the refugees packed their bags and embarked on the road back to their hometowns.
In addition to the "Prohibition", the "Wartime Law" that restricted the travel of refugees was lifted along with the war. A huge wave of refugees left this huge city with their families and gathered into a huge torrent. Head west.
They had to climb over the Ural Mountains and cross the Volga River to reach their hometown on the western plains.
This is a long journey. With the railway collapsed, the refugees cannot take the train back as they came. They walk along the railway step by step in the cold wind. Although the weather is still cold, compared with the previous months, It has gotten much warmer.
Standing high in the church, looking at the refugees who had fled Tyumen City, Mawei put his hands behind his back and asked aloud: "Has all the bread gone?"
"They were all distributed. I made all the remaining wheat flour into bread and distributed it to the refugees." Dino from behind replied.
"Not enough... not enough." Ma Wei said seriously: "How far can they walk on two legs every day? We don't have enough carriages, so we can only share more food, otherwise we will starve to death along the way. Few people."
"This will cost a lot of money. If we help so many refugees at once, the church's funds will not be enough..."
"As for money issues, go to those military nobles and ask them to help."
Dino looked confused: "Will they help?"
"They have no choice."
"Okay, I understand." Dino nodded and asked again: "Father, when are we leaving? Her Royal Highness Katerina has returned to Mosk, and she has sent people to urge her two or three times."
"We are the last group to leave, let Katerina bring the horses of the 15th and 19th Cavalry Regiments, tie them to trailers, and help the refugees go home... The repair work on the railway must also be stepped up. I will go see it in person. Officials of Tyumen City.”
King Paul I set out to return to the royal capital the day after the war ended. Their team was huge, and hundreds of carriages were used. Archbishop Henry and two thousand guardsmen accompanied them, as well as countless others. of senior officials....
Once they left, the refugees living around Tyumen City were left alone.
Ma Wei, who originally wanted to leave Tyumen City, saw this scene, so he could only postpone his trip to Mosk, and planned to stay in Tyumen City for a while to clean up the mess.
If the Church of Truth alone cannot take care of 20 million refugees, the priests and monks of the Church of Wisdom are also helping. Archbishop Henry has taken similar measures to Ma Wei, mainly to ensure that the refugees have sufficient food. Ma Wei feels that It is also clear that the doctrinal dispute between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom God...
It's already started.
A few days later, Onufri and Raffl led hundreds of people from Mosk. They brought the horses of the 15th and 19th Cavalry Regiments. After being hitched to trailers, they could help the refugees transport their luggage. This suddenly relieved a lot of pressure from Mavi.
Time passed by late March. Except for some refugees who planned to stay in Tyumen City, the other refugees had almost returned to their hometowns. Mawei also planned to move the Truth Church.
"Put everything away! Get it in the car!"
At noon, Christopher directed the monks to move boxes one by one onto the carriage. This was a mammoth move.
Half a year ago, Mavey and the others came to the Kingdom of Romanov with only a few suitcases. Now when they left, they had many companions around them. The monks, including Kovalev and Rusov, all planned to leave. They went to Mosk with the Truth Church. As for their family, they left Tyumen half a month ago.
"Boss, let's leave. What will happen to Znamensky Cathedral?" After packing up, Laiwen found Mawei and asked, "Who should we let stay here?"
"Find a few monks living in Tyumen City and let them continue to manage the Church of Truth." Mawei folded the drawings in Edward's room and put them into the box. "You all follow me to Mosk. That's the next step." The heart of the plan.”
Although Tyumen has a large population, it is still a little dwarfed by Moscow. As the economic center of the Romanov Kingdom, Moscow's prosperity is not much worse than that of the royal capital, Petersburg, and requires a large number of manpower for management.
Core personnel like Laiwen, Dino, and Christopher all had to follow Mawei to Mosk. Staying in Tyumen would be a waste of their abilities.
It is not difficult for the current Truth Church to find a few believers to manage the Znamenski Cathedral. Having been taught by Ma Wei personally, it is a piece of cake for them to preach and preach, so there is no need to worry at all.
In the evening, all the luggage was loaded into the car. Yunia held the bear doll in one hand and her small suitcase in the other. She quickly followed Mavey and got into the four-wheeled carriage at the front.
On both sides of the street, many residents heard the news that Ma Wei was leaving, and spontaneously came out to see him off. In recent months, everything the Truth Church has done has been seen by them, just as Ma Wei said... .
The seeds planted will one day sprout.
"Everyone, if you encounter problems, come to the Truth Church for help. We will meet again one day."
Ma Wei stood beside the carriage, took off his hat, put it on his chest, and said calmly: "Just wait for our good news."
After waving his hand, Ma Wei got into the car. The driver swung the reins and drove out of Tyumen City at dusk under the gaze of countless eyes.
"I finally left... It's time for me to follow..."
In the crowd, Finn Drost pressed his hat and stared at the direction the convoy was leaving. After a moment of silence, he retreated into the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Dad, what should we do with the cat army?" Yunia, who was lying on the car window looking at the scenery, thought of the cats in Tyumen City and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't they going to have problems?"
"Fat Orange has all been arranged." Ma Wei raised Xiao Hei, who was sleeping on top of him, aside: "The weather will get warm soon, they will be fine, besides, Alyosha and the others are here. "
Alyosha was the monk who succeeded Mavi in managing the Znamensky Cathedral. He was a member of the first group of monks along with Kavalev and Rusov. He had firm beliefs, was measured in his dealings, and was a managerial talent.
After discovering his characteristics, Ma Wei made him a priest of the Church of Truth and led several local monks and nuns in Tyumen City to continue preaching and development.
Priest...Bishop...Monk...The position division of the Church of Truth is the same as that of the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny and the Church of Wisdom. These easy-to-understand names can tell the difference at a glance. There is no need to explain it here. It takes a lot of effort.
The place they are going to next is the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center of the Romanov Kingdom.
Ma Wei believes that the city of Mosk will become an important base for the Church of Truth for a long time to come.
He planned to establish a complete church system there....
On April 2, after a five-day journey, a majestic and huge city appeared in front of the convoy. The temperature had already reached above zero, and the snow on the roadside had melted a lot. The convoy drove through the muddy road, swaying. Arrive at the outskirts of Mosk.
After receiving the news, Katerina went out to greet him in a carriage. She stood on the only road into the city, wearing a long blue dress and hair accessories. She quietly looked at Ma Wei who got out of the car, next to her. Standing were two maids....and Edward.
"Father Mawei, long time no see." She stepped forward and extended her right hand gracefully.
"Long time no see, Your Highness."
Ma Wei held Katerina's fingertips and still did not lower his head to kiss the back of her hand. He just squeezed it lightly and said, "Is Mosk's condition okay?"
"Not very optimistic." Katerina turned around, walked into the city side by side with Mavi, and said bluntly: "The facilities in the city have been severely destroyed. Although the reconstruction work has begun, it will still take a long time. It takes time to get back to what it was before.”
Ma Wei has already seen this city that has been devastated by the war. The rubble has been cleared away, but the damaged houses cannot be repaired in a day or two. The artillery fire during the war inevitably destroyed many houses, leaving a huge impact on this huge city. The city was a little messy.
"You guys should stay at St. Basil's Cathedral. I've had people clean it there. It's the ruins left by the Apocalypse Cult." Katerina said, "It's right next to the Kremlin where I live. What's going on? , it’s good to have someone to take care of you, and communication is also convenient.”
"no problem...."
Ma Wei smiled and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, aren't you angry about my previous refusal to launch a coup?"
"I think you have your own opinion, Father. No matter what happens, we can't live without each other, right?"
"Your Highness, it would be best if you think so...I'm very afraid that you will misunderstand me because of this matter."
"misunderstanding...."
Katerina smiled slightly: "Father, have you misunderstood me? How could I be angry with you for such a trivial matter? You have at least half of the credit for the victory of this war."
"Your Highness, you are too polite."
"In order to welcome you, I have prepared a dinner. If it is convenient, come and attend. All officials and generals loyal to me will be present."
The smile on Katerina's face slowly disappeared, and her expression returned to calm:
"I think it's time to introduce the Church of Truth to them, what do you think, Father Mavey?"
"good."
