This is the border city that Quins once passed through on his way into Neo-Ottoman.
The current Stamburg has expanded three times as much as the Stamburg that Quins once saw.
Compared with a few years ago, Stamburg's economic development has flourished more than ten times.
What caused all this was a chamber of commerce that appeared in Stamburg three years ago, Metis.
When the Metis Chamber of Commerce first appeared in Stanburg, it was inconspicuous. It only developed among lower-class workers. Even for a period of time, the Metis Chamber of Commerce did not develop into a higher business field.
Instead, it only operates in low-end fields such as dock handling, female textile workers, housekeepers, sewer cleaners, etc., and develops rapidly.
In a way, the Metis Chamber of Commerce is more like a half-finished gangster than a serious chamber of commerce.
However, it is such a seemingly unorthodox chamber of commerce that has developed rapidly at the bottom of Stamburg and has firmly dominated the chamber of commerce that is the first choice for lower-class workers to join.
Occasionally, the Metis Chamber of Commerce has naturally experienced many things that lower-level chambers of commerce have experienced. Gangs have harassed, suppressed, and annexed them, and they have resorted to almost every possible means. Living in this world, every class will have its own troubles.
No one can be an exception.
The Metis Chamber of Commerce did not go smoothly in this process. After several ups and downs, the Metis Chamber of Commerce gradually developed and grew, and cultivated many capable backbones.
In this society where classes are almost solidified, 80% of the people are working at the bottom of the society to make a living. Among them, those who can really stand out are as small as non-existent given the huge population base.
But this also means that there are a large number of talented and talented people at the bottom of society who are buried, destroyed and lost to all living beings in the day-to-day work. It is not that they do not want to get ahead, but that they have not risen.
channels.
In this world, in the society of ordinary people, aristocrats control almost all channels for advancement. Even if a rare genius emerges from the bottom of society and wants to have a revolution, it will not make a big splash. Because of this
In addition to the society of ordinary people, there are also extraordinary beings in the world who can suppress almost all discord.
Of course, it is also because of the existence of extraordinary beings that it has opened up opportunities for ordinary people to be promoted. However, people who were once ambitious and vowed to change the world will only slowly grow up after getting this opportunity.
Being assimilated by the upper-class nobility and becoming a member of the interest groups continues to consolidate this stubborn social class.
It can be said that the aristocratic group has formed a complete and effective method of consolidating its own class over the long years. The lower class has almost no hope of turning over and becoming the masters.
The emergence of the Metis Chamber of Commerce has just broken this point, because the church, which is called Metis on the surface but is actually a humanistic church, is almost destitute in terms of talents. If it wants to develop rapidly, it is bound to absorb a large number of talents.
Samuel knew this very well. If you want to develop the humanistic church, talent, a lot of talent, a massive amount of talent, is a must.
After careful consideration, he decided to develop at the bottom of society.
There are many reasons for this, one of which is naturally the number of people. If you are developing in the middle and high-level, regardless of whether there is a leakage problem, the number of people is the biggest problem.
The second is attraction. The low, middle and high levels of society are almost like three separate worlds. Samuel is the kind of person who has experienced the peak of his life, experienced the arrogance and contempt of the nobility, and experienced the middle class.
People have also experienced the trough of life, been knocked down to dust, and tasted the helplessness and despair of the bottom.
Therefore, he knew very well that facing the middle class and high-ranking aristocratic groups in society, his little wealth was not very attractive.
On the contrary, at the bottom of despair, giving a little hope can make people feel as if they have embraced the whole world.
From this point of view, almost none of the church believers secretly absorbed by the Metis Chamber of Commerce are pan-believers, light believers, or at least devout believers. Moreover, the ratio of fanatical believers to devout believers is terrifying.
one.
And as he wished, Samuel discovered many buried talents among these people.
Of course, there are many advantages and disadvantages. The first is the upper class society. Samuel almost turned a blind eye. Although this has nothing to do with the teachings of human principles, there will inevitably be obstacles in the development and expansion of human principles in the future. It’s just that in
Human science in the initial stage has not yet reached this ceiling.
The second is that the good and the bad are mixed. There is a lot of gravel among ordinary people at the bottom, but it is not so easy to find gold and diamonds in it. Samuel, who has rich experience, has undoubtedly done a good job in this regard.
In addition to providing additional development funds, the Metis Chamber of Commerce, a peripheral organization, is actually an external target to a certain extent. Many gangs and low-level chambers of commerce are his touchstones.
Although Metis has gone through many ups and downs, it has also discovered a large number of talents. Gold will always shine, but Samuel's creed is that you can't tell the quality of gold without trying.
After identifying talents, Samuel will slowly be absorbed into the core Humanistic Church, granting occult knowledge and teaching the key to the door. Almost all of the five major gods have become believers one after another.
Only after becoming a devout believer, Samuel will teach the key to the door, and then send these backbones to surrounding and small border countries to continue to let them develop the Metis Chamber of Commerce, recruit talents, and populate the Humanitarian Church.
Gradually, those believers who established a sign of faith in the sea of consciousness and worshiped the true godly statue called themselves disciples within the human realm.
Three years is a short time, but it is also a long time. After a large number of talents poured out and joined the Humanity Church, the Humanity Church gradually divided into five branches based on the five major attributes of God, namely wisdom, love, brilliance, cornerstone, and rationality.
.
Samuel is the pope and wise leader, and the leaders of the other four branches are deputy popes.
Each has its own duties, the wisdom branch is responsible for decision-making and training, the cornerstone branch is for logistics development, the brilliance branch is for internal supervision and interrogation, the benevolence branch is for preaching and purification, and the rational branch is for intelligence and combat.
Of course, at this stage, each branch has many other responsibilities, but this will gradually change in the future. If there is another god who splits from the world and the door again, some responsibilities will be handed over.
.
In three years, due to the power of the gate seeds, all the disciples have progressed very quickly. The leaders of each group have reached level 4. Samuel has reached level 5 because of his early mover advantage.
The speed is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.
But only Samuel knew that his advancement speed had slowed down, because if he wanted to accept the mission as a fifth-level wisdom disciple, those Heisei people would have very few contribution points to give him. He himself
After some calculations, if you want to exchange for the sixth-level wisdom secret and do the task of developing the church, it will take at least ten years to redeem the sixth-level secret. If you add some special advanced materials, it will be even longer.
Not enough.
Samuel knew clearly that this was the God of Wisdom urging him to complete the task of purifying the mysterious land. In three years, although the Humanitarian Church had grown a lot and had even secretly controlled three small border countries, it had not completed any of them.
