Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 613 Double Atonement
  The organizers who opposed theocracy are now stupid.

How could this be?
  Why is this happening?

These were completely beyond his knowledge. He couldn't believe that a statue of a god could really grow out of thin air in the open space in the square. However, the statue of the god was right in front of him, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

Turner came to the square, took a quick glance, just smiled indifferently, and continued to let people protect the square. They could pray outside, but they were absolutely not allowed to get close to the statue.

Then he went back and continued issuing indulgences.

At the same time, a piece of news spread in the city.

Those who oppose God are sinful and God will not easily forgive their sins.

Want to atone?

That's easy.

Buy indulgences, buy more indulgences.

As long as you buy it, you can atone for your sins and gain God's forgiveness.

Zhu Xuan had to admire it. In fact, Turner also knew how to use these rhetorical tactics. He immediately released such news based on the indulgences, which should quickly cause a sensation and attract countless people to buy the indulgences.

More than that.

People from other cities heard that there were statues of gods growing here and rushed to visit.

Soon, those in other cities who were opposed to indulgences suddenly panicked and rushed to the church to give money to the church.

As long as there was money coming in, Turner would accept anyone who came.

Just take as much as you can, and pretend that I represent God and come to forgive the sinful people in the world.

"This Bishop Turner is a smart man. Although he doesn't have as many ideas as His Highness, his heart is definitely dark."

Ji Wenjing saw how easily Turner played with those ignorant believers, and sighed: "If the Taoists and Buddhists of the Ming Dynasty dared to play like this, they could make even more money."

Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said with murderous intent: "If they dare to play like this, I don't mind imitating the Three Martial Arts and One Sect. The Taoists may be more low-key, but the Buddhists really dare to do anything."

Ji Wenjing had no doubt at all about Zhu Xuan's cruelty.

In the eyes of many people, Zhu Xuan, like Zhu Yuanzhang, can be very ruthless.

Grandfather and grandson are descended from the same blood.

"I guarantee that we cultivators cannot do such a thing." Ji Wenjing smiled, "But I don't know if those bald donkeys would do this."

There is the demon monk Yao Guangxiao, and there is the White Lotus Sect. You must know that the White Lotus Sect preaches the birth of Maitreya.

They felt that the monk really dared to do anything.

But Taoism is not a fuel-efficient lamp, such as the Taoism of Taiping.

However, Taiping Road has a long history.

Looking at the pre-Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Maitreya Sect of the Sui and Tang Dynasties or the current White Lotus Sect, they are actually related to Buddha, and they do need to be paid attention to.

"Under His Highness's rule, no matter whether he is practicing Taoism or Buddhism, he is very law-abiding." Ji Wenjing added.

"maybe."

Zhu Xuan said calmly: "If your senior brothers are willing to behave themselves, I will believe that they will behave themselves."

Ji Wenjing laughed and said: "My senior brother is just a fake monk. When he puts on a cassock, he really thinks he is the Buddha. According to my understanding of him, the reason why he does so much is just for fun."

"Play?"

Zhu Xuan can understand this meaning.

If you master the dragon-slaying skill and don't use it, what else will you do with it?
  Naturally, he wanted to have some fun, put his dragon-slaying skills to practical use, stir up a commotion and show off his abilities.

"The price for him to play is too high."

Zhu Xuan said: "When they become monks, don't they pay attention to compassion? It turns out that they are fake compassion."

A lot of compassion is false compassion.

Many great monks secretly marry wives and have children.

There are definitely people who truly practice Buddhism, but they are in the minority. There are not many eminent monks who have attained enlightenment. Most of them shave their heads because they feel comfortable being a monk and don’t have to do corvee labor.

"Stop talking about that."

Zhu Xuan said: "Tomorrow, we will go back to the company."

He also told Turner about his intention to return.

"Leaving so soon?"

Zhu Xuan did Turner a big favor, and Turner didn't have time to express his gratitude. Zhu Xuan explained: "I still have a lot to do in Daming, so I have to go back. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to visit Bishop Turner again. Unfortunately, this chance is slim. However, I welcome you, Ying Tian, ​​to come to Daming." Find me."

Turner felt that Zhu Xuan was still a good friend and a person worth getting to know deeply, so he said with some reluctance: "When I have time, I will definitely visit His Highness!"

-

The next day.

Zhu Xuan boarded the ship and left here.

Turner came to the port to say goodbye and was really reluctant to watch the ship go away.

After the church's affairs were settled and the indulgences returned to normal, he still needed to go back and deal with his own affairs, so he quickly put this reluctance aside for the time being.

The big ship rode the wind and waves in the Mediterranean. When we returned to the company, we saw that people were clearly smoking here.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

This sentence is very well said.

People like Adelaide, who are in the upper class of Western society, still smoke, so the people below will not be an exception. They will follow suit and form a trend. This makes Ji Wenjing feel itchy in his heart.

"Your Highness, would you like to give me a cigarette?" Ji Wenjing asked tentatively.

When Zhu Xuan heard this, he smiled and said: "Lei Gang, keep an eye on Mr. Ji. If he dares to smoke, lock him in the small dark room on the ship and lock him up for several days."

Lei Gang smiled.

Hou Xian and Yan Guan also laughed. It was rare to see Ji Wenjing deflated.

Ji Wenjing: "..."

The thought of smoking fell through again.

In fact, he has almost quit smoking, at least he no longer has any thoughts. He just feels good when he sees others smoking, and he will inevitably feel missed in his heart.

"Zheng He."

"Before tobacco can be grown, it has to be purchased in large quantities in the Americas."

“If you don’t plant much, you can also purchase and replenish it.”

"Tobacco is important."

Zhu Xuan warned.

"I understand."

Zheng He said.

Seeing people like this now, he can also understand what it means to be important. This is one of the best ways to make big money in the West.

"And the cotton, how's the harvest going this year?"

Zhu Xuan asked again.

Zheng He said: "The scope of cotton cultivation is wider, and the harvest is getting better year by year. We already have merchant ships to load the goods."

"Good, keep it up."

“However, in terms of production volume, it needs to be determined based on specific sales volume.”

"Avoid planting too much. We will buy it back and we won't be able to sell it all."

Zhu Xuan said again.

They know how to operate these things.

Zhu Xuan can be arranged here, and the people who manage related affairs will not be confused. Zhu Xuan just reminds them a little, and then waits for them to perform freely.

Not long after returning, Adelaide came again.

Zhu Xuan also told him that he was ready to go back.

Adelaide shouted that she was reluctant to leave, and took Zhu Xuan back to her castle, and prepared another banquet to practice for Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan did not refuse.

Soon, it was time to go back.

Everything for the return trip was loaded on the ship. After saying goodbye to Adelaide, Zhu Xuan went to sea with the ship and officially set off back to Daming through the Red Sea.

The next stop is to go back to Guangzhou first, then answer the question, and prepare to celebrate Grandpa Huang’s birthday.
