A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 453 12. The Three-Self Methods Win My Heart

Xiaopingtai is not afraid of Christianity, but in fact he is extremely afraid of Christianity. When William arrives in Hamamatsu, how many days will he have left after deducting the time spent on casting the cannon and building the church?

In less than a year, he developed more than a thousand followers. The difficulty of going from one believer to a thousand believers is very different from that of going from a thousand believers to ten thousand believers!

One is from nothing to something, the other is from something to more.

Maybe next year, Hamamatsu will become a standard Christian town. There will be many large and small Christian churches in the city. In the morning, the loud bells from the church towers will ring, and in the evening, there will be regular evening prayers.

After thinking about it, since it cannot be contained, it is better to guide it on the spot!

Thank you to all the ancestors for pointing out a bright road for Xiao Pingtai, and it is still effective today.

The first step is to translate the entire text of the Bible, gradually allowing the Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin versions of the scriptures to be lost.

In the short term, this will greatly increase the convenience of missionary work. Not everyone can learn foreign languages. However, the local Japanese is familiar to people who hear it, and its spread will definitely speed up.

But history has proven that the English version used by the British and the German version used by the Germans actually broke Rome's sole monopoly on scripture interpretation. The kings of various countries have actually become the supreme interpreters and supreme rulers of scriptures.

Nowadays, many product packaging bags also carry a disgusting sentence that the final interpretation rights belong to the company. You know how cruel this trick is.

To accompany this, all prayers, sermons, sermons, and various hymns and hymns are all translated into Japanese. I believe that zealous believers will be very happy to spread the voice of the Heavenly Father to everyone’s ears, so that all brothers and sisters can hear it.

After falling from the altar of obscure Latin, it is not so easy to get back to it.

The more secular and populist Christianity becomes, the less likely it is to create threats and problems.

As long as you look at any religion that refuses to be secular, you will know the sinister intentions within it. But the monks in secular temples don't know what to do during the day and at night. Isn't this great? Is this even a bullshit threat?

The second step was to establish a seminary in Hamamatsu, gradually replace the clergy sent from foreign countries, and use domestic clergy.

There have been Japanese clergy in the Kyushu region for a long time. Later, the Tianzheng Youth Envoy to Europe was received by the Pope, and the King of Spain and the Governor of Portugal also warmly welcomed them.

Koheita and the Yamauchi family do not have the financial resources and strength to send envoys to Europe, but it is still very simple to go to Kyushu. Invite two Japanese clergymen to come and open a seminary. If you don’t believe me, they won’t come.

As long as the Yamauchi family's own clergy are trained, then unfortunately, the church affairs of the country will be managed by the clergy of the country in the future. It doesn't matter if you foreigners come to visit, communicate, or even live in Hamamatsu temporarily, but you are not allowed to hold teaching positions in the mountain.

In the third step, the local church in Hamamatsu received strong support from churches in Macau, Manila, Kyushu and other places, and received a lot of missionary funds.

William used the aid funds to purchase food and medicine to help the poor people, and continued to develop believers and expand the foundation of the church.

Xiao Pingtai has always believed that others are short-handed and soft-spoken. Hamamatsu's church took money from foreign aid, and the entangled relationship with the foreign aid was difficult to sort out.

He simply gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and allocated funds to the church every year. If you get used to it, it will end up strangling the neck of the local church.

Fasten it a little tighter, buckle it a little looser, isn't it all up to the Yamauchi family to decide when the time comes?

In these three steps, a large church with more than 30 million members was managed and established for a large country, and it consistently maintained synchronization with the government of the large country.

To sum it up, it’s familiar.

The Japanese teach Japanese Christianity, the Japanese believe in Japanese Christianity, and the Japanese raise their own Japanese Christian churches.

The abbreviations are autobiography, self-confidence, and self-support, all of which belong to the Three-Self Church.

Xiao Pingtai thanked all the martyrs in his heart for the effective and good method. Xiaopingtai didn't even need to change it, he just copied it in full.

In the end, all you have to do is tinker with it, fix some aspects, and adapt to the local customs of the Eastern Kingdom, and it will be fine.

Xiaopingtai drafted a plan overnight and stayed up all night, revising, revising, adding and deleting until he was basically satisfied.

The next day, Chief Accountant Yamauchi and Koheita returned to Yamauchi's mansion on horseback. He finished reading Koheita's thousands-word statement while riding on his horse.

After reading this, I applauded loudly. If a certain religion that is widely accepted by the people can be brought under administrative power, the benefits will be huge. I don’t need to go into details.

(I don’t dare to go into details. If I go into details, it will be blocking, blocking, blocking again! Endless blocking!)

"Xiaoping man, the three steps you proposed are very feasible. Let's discuss it when we go back and then implement it."

Chief Accountant Yamauchi also considered the issue of handling Nanman affairs last night. Obviously, he did not have any specific ideas to form a system or scale. This is not his fault. It is just his inherent limitations of the times.

Xiaopingtai's method of boiling frogs in warm water was devised by countless martyrs who founded a certain great country. Xiaopingtai feels that there are very few people who can defeat such a group of people throughout the ages, and there may be many outstanding individuals. But it is really rare for so many outstanding people to come together.

If you want to say who can come up with a more powerful method than these big guys, Xiao Pingtai will definitely not believe it. If you have this ability, you can still leave me to read bragging novels.

"The Chief Accountant Hall has received the award. I really don't dare to take credit. It's just for reference."

"I'm afraid that you will have to be the first Nanman leader. You must not refuse when the time comes."

Also, based on this statement alone, there will be no one in the whole mountain who knows more about Nanman affairs than Xiao Pingtai. Even if Chen San is a mixed-race person, he may not have the profound knowledge of Nanman affairs that Xiao Pingtai has. Who is to say that Xiao Pingtai is ahead of his time.

"Does the Nanman adhere to it? Can I still decide to adhere to it?"

“Isn’t it enough to take on a concurrent role!”

Chief Accountant Yamauchi knew that Xiao Pingtai would not accept such an important position as being in charge of the family's finances and changing it to one that was not very important at present.

As a good person who will do his best to the end, it is easy for Xiaopingta to take on the responsibility. The financial planning of the Yamauchi family cannot be separated from Xiaopingtao, and there is no one who knows more about Hamamatsu's Nanban affairs than Xiaopingtao.

That's a different thing. Those who can do more work should be able to train future family members for Taro Yamauchi.

Heta Koheta was happy to see Chief Yamauchi agree. As a writer of Yamauchi, he was very sure of making the decision with the three votes of Yamauchi Ichimei. With the two votes of Heta Koheta and his uncle, the matter was settled.
