These three Popes are really hard to serve, and they firmly rejected the offer to stay at the Cathedral of the Goddess of Fortune - as the highest representatives of the Church of the Dawn Temple, the Temple of Punishment, and the Temple of War, how could they stay in the churches of other gods?
?This is undoubtedly a betrayal of their beliefs!
But in the entire Vyas territory, only the church of the Goddess of Wealth exists!
Lin Qi had no choice but to vacate the Golden Dragon City and arrange for the three popes and their entourages who were rarely served. The three popes expressed great satisfaction with Lin Qi's arrangement, and then they went to find
Various excuses were made, and Lin Qi and Alda were constantly summoned.
After a while, they will say that they have received orders from the gods and have certain instructions for the future of the Longshan Empire.
After a while, they will say that the gods once again gave them a prophecy that they must discuss with Lin Qi about the future of the Longshan Empire.
All in all, the three popes are like three pieces of candy, stuck to Lin Qi and Alda. The problem is that there are three popes, while Lin Qi and Alda only have two, and the future emperor of the Longshan Empire, Earl Longshan,
There was only one person! The two people, who were unable to do anything at the same time, were tortured to death. In the end, even the three popes almost started fighting each other.
Everything is just for the former Vyas Commercial Federation and the future Longshan Empire, a piece of fat that makes people drool!
In the loose federal state of the Vyas Commercial Federation, the government can receive tax revenue that far exceeds the sum of the Gallic Empire and the Great Yan Dynasty every year. It is conceivable that once the Longshan Empire is established, the Longshan Empire will have a
A strong tax department can at least double tax revenue every year.
After all, in the federal state, many big nobles, such as the consuls, always have various excuses to provide tax exemptions for their family's shops, and whether these big nobles or these consuls control profits, they
The highest part is bought and sold.
According to the estimates of the think tanks around the three major popes, once the Longshan Empire is established, as long as the person sitting on the throne is not a stupid pig, the annual tax revenue of the Longshan Empire may reach that of the Gallic Empire and the Great Yan Dynasty.
The total annual fiscal revenue of the Harlan Empire is more than double!
What a terrifying number this is!
Coupled with the vast territory and lush population of the Longshan Empire, the potential of the Longshan Empire is really great! No powerful temple will give up its interests in this country, especially the Dawn Temple. They are old friends with the Longshan family.
Yes, we have always had good cooperation and friendship!
Griscoe Chenxi has regarded the Longshan family as his own. He is even willing to give up most of his interests in the Gallic Empire and the Haran Empire. He even proposed that Holy Light I and Shenghui I abdicate.
He firmly believes that the two core figures of the Longshan family are saints of the Dawn Temple, so the Dawn Temple must monopolize all the interests of the Longshan Empire.
But the Seal Pope, who represents the Temple of Punishment, and the Wand Pope, who represents the War Temple, how could they allow such a thing to happen?
Compared with the plump pig's trotters of the Longshan Empire, the Gallic Empire and the Harlan Empire are just two large pig leg bones. Although there is a little skin and meat hanging on the bones, they are definitely not as fragrant and fat as the pig's trotters when chewed.
One mouthful is oily!
Lin Qi and Alda were caught in the endless wrangling and disputes between the three major popes. Various exchanges of interests, various promises, various promises, and even intentional or unintentional threats and intimidation from the Temple of Punishment and the Temple of War, Lin Qi almost came close
I just want to close the gate of Golden Dragon City, release all the demons from the Sixth Abyss, and kill all three popes!
In just a few days, if the secret negotiations between Lin Qi and the three popes were leaked, it would definitely cause a huge shock in the Western Continent! In the end, the interest division plan proposed by Hu Xinzhu and Yun won the support of the three popes.
It was unanimously approved, and Alda came forward to represent the Longshan family and the Longshan Empire and signed a formal contract with the three popes.
The three most powerful temples, on the premise of ensuring their unconditional support and unconditional asylum for the Longshan Empire, the Longshan Empire and them reached a four-three-three interest division model.
The Dawn Temple exclusively occupies 40% of the faith resources of the Longshan Empire, and the other two major temples each occupy 30%. The gold coins that the Longshan family donates to the church every year will also be divided according to this ratio. The secret contract also stipulates that the Longshan family pays to the church every year.
The number of gold coins cannot be less than one billion, and there is no upper limit; at the same time, in addition to gold coins, the Longshan family is also obliged to replenish part of the ordnance, food, mounts and magic tools of the three major temples.
The Longshan Empire will build churches of the three major divine systems in every city within the empire, as well as religious colleges!
The Longshan Empire must guide the residents' beliefs within the territory, guide them to believe in the gods of the three major gods, and abandon worship of other gods.
When the church needs it, the Longshan Empire's army must also assist the church's army in fighting. For example, if the church doesn't like a certain empire and wants to change its owner, then the Longshan Empire is obliged to send out troops to cooperate with the church in attacking that empire.
.
After paying such a huge price, the benefit the Longshan family received was that the Longshan family received unlimited religious immunity and religious asylum!
The explanation for this unlimited religious immunity and religious asylum is that as long as the Longshan family is not so crazy that they become the spokesperson of the devil in the world, no matter how many outrageous things they do, the three major temples will take the initiative to wipe their butts for them!
For example, in the future, a certain prince of the Longshan Empire beats up a divine descendant of a divine descendant family. As long as the one he beats is not a core divine descendant of the divine descendants of the three major temples, the church will not investigate or deal with this matter.
For example, in the future, if a certain prince of the Longshan Empire commits a criminal case in another country and accidentally kills ten or eight civilians or nobles, the church will provide religious protection to the prince and declare him innocent in the name of the gods.
And he claimed that the people he killed were heretics!
For another example, if in the future the emperor of the Longshan Empire becomes confused and suddenly launches a war to attack neighboring countries, if the war is won, the church will immediately declare that the territories they occupy are legal territories; if the war is lost,
Then the church will immediately come out to mediate, so that both sides will value peace, and don't let the soldiers bleed for no reason anymore. Let everyone withdraw their troops and go home!
All in all, the Longshan Empire will pay a huge amount of gold coins in the future, but in exchange, it will receive overwhelming support from the church.
When Alda signed his name on the contract seriously, Lin Qi applauded enthusiastically.
"It's perfect, let's have a drink together! The three noble majesties, and our respected Emperor Longshan, I think this may be the most valuable contract in the history of the Western Continent! It's incredible, this
It is the perfect combination of divine power and imperial power!”
Touching the saint's badge on his chest, Lin Qi said with emotion: "I think the Longshan Empire's model can be promoted to the entire continent! Why does imperial power have to be in opposition to divine power? Why can't imperial power become the strongest of divine power?
Assistant?"
"As long as we are full of faith and full of reverence for the gods, we will create an unprecedented situation in the Western Continent!" Lin Qi took a deep breath. He looked at the three popes with red faces, full of enthusiasm.
He said with a sense of holiness: "The will of the gods walks on the earth, and all civilians are devout believers in my god. All glory belongs to my god!"
With his finger gently touching his forehead, Lin Qi's whole body released a divine radiance.
A bright and bright morning light fell on his head, and Lin Qi was immersed in this morning light with great enjoyment.
Alda also stretched out his finger and tapped his heart gently: "I firmly believe that imperial power and divine power should not be in opposition, but should assist each other. This is just like men and women, who are born to be in harmony.
Let’s do it together! Praise the great morning sun for giving us such glorious guidance!”
Another ray of morning light fell on his head, and Alda was soaked in the divine light comfortably. He was so comfortable that he almost hummed.
The training of the four old demons was very effective, and the mysterious magic weapon they made for Alda was very useful. After all the divine light of the dawn was integrated into Alda's body, it was quickly converted into energy without any attributes, and was used by Alda.
Da's body slowly absorbs it.
Seeing that Arda and Lin Qi, the two most important figures in the Longshan Empire, were actually devout believers of the God of Dawn, Grisco? Chenxi couldn't help but say, "Haha, laugh." He demonstrated to the other two popes with ugly expressions
After taking a quick look at his expression, there was a feeling that all the benefits of the Longshan Empire should have been exclusively owned by the Dawn Temple, but now it seemed that the Dawn Temple had given some to the other two temples.
Pope Seal took a deep breath and said solemnly: "In the future, you will understand that fair and just punishment is an indispensable force for a country!"
Hu Xinzhu, who tied her long golden hair into a small braid and wore a set of bright red judge's robes, slowly walked out of the court train of the Longshan Empire. He nodded to Pope Seal with deep feeling: "If
As you said, Your Majesty the Pope, I feel the call of the law, and I will use fair and equitable laws to punish all criminals in the empire!"
Hu Xinzhu bowed deeply to Pope Seal. A faint golden-red divine light suddenly appeared on his body, and a strange divine pattern emerged on the top of Hu Xinzhu's head, and then sank into his body. This divine pattern represents
In addition to the divine power of the old pervert, the God of Laws and Orders, only his believers, and believers with relatively firm beliefs, can summon his divine power for blessing! ((To be continued,
