Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 262: : Building a religion

In ancient Rome and ancient Greece, the bathing culture was very developed. At that time, nobles, commoners, and even slaves loved bathing. ,.

But as the Black Death rages in Europe on a large scale, countless Europeans have died because of it. People at the time couldn't find the cause. He blamed it on the problem of bathing. In addition, he believed that bathing in the classical era was a symbol of sex.

There is a monarch in Europe who is very famous in later generations.

It was Louis XIV of the French "Bourbon" family, who uttered the famous saying that I am the country, and at the same time established an absolute monarchy with far-reaching influence in Europe, which lasted until the Great Revolution.

However, it was this monarch who claimed to be the Sun King, who had only bathed seven times in his life. The smell on his body can be imagined. According to the memoirs of his mistress, Mrs. Montspin, one can also see such a description.

"The stench on Louis XIV's body can be disgusting and disgusting at ten paces away!"

...

Baron Baptiste babbled endlessly, and the Chinese official in charge of receiving him covered his nose and mouth with his hands. And said: "If you don't clean yourself first, then you still go from where to go."

"Lord, is this how you treat a country's messenger?"

Tang officials said with a look of disgust: "Even if you spray a lot of perfume, it is difficult to cover up the stench from your body. Our great monarch will never see you."

Baron Baptiste fought hard, and he was embarrassed by the words of the Tang Dynasty; at this moment, he blushed and continued to argue, but the Tang officials remained unmoved, even far away.

It's really a barbaric country, and it's hard to imagine what all their citizens and even the monarch would look like without taking a bath. This official made some replenishment in his mind, and he was almost sick and vomiting.

This kind of picture is too shocking and unbelievable.

In the end, Baron Baptiste accepted the suggestion to take a bath.

After all, the purpose of his coming to Tangzhou from Europe across the sea was to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang people. Even, holding an attitude of wining.

If only because of the problem of taking a bath, he was expelled by the Tang Dynasty. So when he returns to China, his future is basically the same.

Therefore, when I saw the impatience on the face of this Chinese official became stronger and stronger. Baptiste also went downhill and agreed to the request made by the Chinese.

...

"The bathroom is so luxurious? The bathroom in the Roman period, I'm afraid it can't match it!"

Walking into a huge bathroom, looking at the marble and stone tiles on the ground floor and the smooth slabs on the walls, and even the pictures carved on it, Baptiste and his entourage marveled at the wealth of the Chinese. .

"what is this?"

Picking up the rectangular object that looked like solidified grease in the wooden box on the side, Baptiste turned to ask the staff on the side.

"This is'fat' soap, used to cleanse the body."

The staff replied patiently, even though he could not bear the body odor on them. But he still endured his ‘sex’, answered the question carefully, and then ran out quickly.

"It's incredible, it's incredible."

Looking at the bubbles on his body, Baptiste marveled at the Chinese enjoyment of life. Carefully clean up the dirt on your body, and wipe your body vigorously until your skin turns red.

Then use a bucket of clean water to rinse off the dirt on your body.

Seeing his red and clean skin, his body seemed to be lighter by dozens of catties.

"Please bless me, don't make me sick!"

After taking a shower tremblingly, he put on a dry cloth made of linen. After that, he stepped on a carriage prepared by the Tang Dynasty towards the huge palace built high on the hills.

Immortal palace!

...

Through the glass windows installed on the carriage, Baptiste looked at the city buildings and streets outside in amazement. The hustle and bustle of people, the extremely busy shops, coupled with the people coming and going, and the traffic, gathered together into a picture of an extremely busy city. The metropolis with a population of 40,000 is prosperous, which is beyond the comprehension of Europe today.

"Constantinople, it's nothing more than that!"

The harmonious picture, beautiful and rich, stable and full of passion and hope.

Such a harmonious scene, put in Europe, is beyond the imagination of people there. I am afraid that only the legendary Garden of Eden or Elysee Paradise can be like the city in front of me.

...

"What are you up to?"

Elizabeth brought a cup of tea and put it on Jiang Ning's bookcase. Then she turned to Jiang Ning's back and gently massaged his shoulders with her hands to relieve non-existent fatigue.

"I'm trying to compile the doctrine!"

"Edit the doctrine?" Elizabeth widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him in surprise.

Then Elizabeth asked him: "What religion are you going to spread? Catholicism, Islam?"

Jiang Ning slowly shook his head: "Neither, I plan to create a new religion by myself! With me as the supreme **** and surrounding me, the religion created is the state religion."

"Take you as the supreme god? Honey, have you thought about the consequences?"

Jiang Ning asked, "What are the consequences?"

Elizabeth replied: "Our country is very small and our population is very small. Although you can rely on your prestige to make all the people believe in you. However, we are surrounded by two major religious groups, and our missionary career in the future must be difficult! These are all. It's all resistance and the fuse of war."

Jiang Ning looked at Elizabeth in surprise, but did not expect Elizabeth to have such a long-term political vision. I actually saw this, the hidden dangers in the future ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You said, I have considered all of them, and the plan also has a draft in my heart. "

"Did you think of a solution?"

"Yes!"

Elizabeth asked, "Quickly tell me!"

"The problem to be solved is also very simple. You only need to spread the doctrine to the outside world. North Africa, the neighboring Apennines, the Iberian Peninsula, and even the Frankish territory."

"This is very difficult. Religion has long been entrenched in the above-mentioned areas. The Apennines is the basic plate of Catholicism. It is the center of Catholicism. It will not tolerate external beliefs at all. This will provoke war!"

Elizabeth sees it thoroughly and has a long-term political perspective. Indeed, as she said, the religious atmosphere in the above-mentioned areas has long been entrenched, and new religions will never penetrate.

Even the relationship between the neighboring Apennines will conflict with the Pope. Then Jiangning can foresee that the future Crusaders will probably not go east, but will first solve the heretics who are entrenched at the door of the house.

Jiang Ning knows exactly how powerful religion is.

But he was not reconciled to let the Tang people be assimilated by white people in the future. Especially the assimilation of ideas is even more serious! Jiang Ning wanted to solve this point once and for all, and for this reason must be controlled by religious means.

However, Elizabeth's words are correct. The country is too small and the population is too small. The mission of mission is bound to not be smooth sailing, even if the official does not resist. The resistance from the people is also very strong.

Therefore, for future security, the forces must allow the new religion to spread smoothly among some of the above-mentioned regional powers. Become the state religion of the country where you live, so you will have a religious population base, and the future will be much safer.

However, this thing is a ‘fine’ work that requires slow thinking and implementation step by step.
