The situation in the Holy City is not very good.
After a war, people flocked to the slums and it was extremely difficult to restore order.
The conflict between the rich and the poor was serious, especially the wealthy families in the inner city were robbed and regarded the people in the slums as enemies.
The people from the slums began to walk into the inner city with swagger.
Many people took advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, and when they saw the rich, they were no longer submissive and spent money lavishly.
Therefore, the church’s biggest task at present is to reconcile the contradiction between the two.
It can be said that the task is arduous...
Dajing took the opportunity to recruit people to strengthen the city's defense.
To the west of the holy city is the solid diocese of the church. Although there is no movement at the moment, there is no telling when it may suddenly escalate.
The most important thing is to consolidate your position and take the time to help Pope Solje.
Lai Gouer was coordinating matters on the Temple Mount as usual.
Currently, part of the Temple Mount has become Dajing’s office space.
It's not because this place is good, but for the convenience of ensuring Father Soljie's safety.
Although Solger became the Pope, the foundation of the old order in the Holy City had been completely destroyed, and he was no different from a commander without troops.
For now, we can only protect it as a mascot.
Just as Lai Gou'er was working at his desk taking notes, a soldier from Dajing came to report.
"Master Lai, the capital has sent a group of people here. The leader is Wu Sheng. He said he is under the order of Marquis Jianye to see you immediately. They are waiting at the foot of the Temple Hill."
Wu Sheng? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before. It sounds familiar.
Lai Gou'er raised his head: "Please come in!"
Soon, Wu Sheng entered the room.
After a long sea voyage, he stayed in Feka for a while and then immediately went to the Holy City.
The fatigue along the way made Wu Sheng look thinner.
Although the food and drink on the ship are of the highest quality, it is still difficult to adapt to life at sea.
Wu Sheng was finally relieved when he saw Lai Gou'er. He stepped forward and introduced him, "Wu Sheng, meet Mr. Lai."
Lai Gou'er quickly extended his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Wu Sheng took a seat.
"I heard that Mr. Wu came to see me on the orders of Marquis Jianye. I wonder what news Marquis Jianye brought?"
Wu Sheng said: "This visit has nothing to do with the court. It is a private decision between your majesty and the Marquis of Jianye."
As he said this, he took out the envelope he had prepared long ago and handed it over.
"This letter is the request of Marquis Jianye for your plans in the Holy City. I will be responsible for executing part of it, and the rest will be handed over to Lord Lai."
The letter was very thick, and it was the plan that Fang Zhengyi and Wu Sheng came up with after more than ten days of continuous communication.
Wu Sheng was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
Lai Gou'er read the letter for a full half an hour before putting it down. He said blankly, "I understand what the letter means, but which part is Mr. Wu responsible for? The Marquis asked me to listen to your opinions. Where should we start?"
Wu Sheng stretched his waist and said, "Master Lai, I came in a hurry and haven't looked around the Holy City carefully yet. How about we walk outside and talk while we talk?"
"Yes, please!"
.....
On the streets of the holy city, two people were walking on the street.
There are many foreigners on the street, and they are accustomed to seeing faces from the East.
After all, the soldiers patrolling the streets and defending the city are all from Dajing.
After seeing it so many times, I feel that it is nothing special.
Wu Sheng scanned the street scene and said slowly, "When I first came here, I thought this place was very poor, but I was quite surprised when I arrived in the Holy City. Although some places here are severely damaged, it can be seen that the foundation is very good and is not inferior to the capital at all."
Lai Gou'er explained with a smile: "This was the original seat of the Pope. It took all the manpower, financial resources and material resources of the church to build this city. There is no other city in the entire West that can rival it. Unfortunately, many beautiful buildings were burned down by the fire. It is impossible to rebuild them."
Wu Sheng did not comment: "Speaking of construction, the Marquis of Jianye specifically instructed that he hopes you will revise the Yellow Book immediately, count the population of the Holy City, and help the poor build houses. In the future, it will be easier to divide and manage them by districts, which will save a lot of management trouble."
"First we need to fix some... toilets."
"Ah?" Lai Gouer scratched his ears, feeling that he didn't hear clearly.
"That's right. Marquis Jianye has instructed us to build more toilets and make them better." Wu Sheng stroked his beard, also a little puzzled, but he no longer dwelled on this matter. "Many craftsmen from Dajing came with me this time."
"In addition to the toilets, the Marquis also said that we should use Dajing's local craftsmen as the main force and a large number of local craftsmen to build some small buildings with Dajing and Holy City characteristics, preferably six stories each, to divide them into small communities."
"In the early stage, he had roughly planned three communities, named Shuxiang Garden, Wenting Yayuan, and Four Seasons Pastoral."
"Of course, this is just the basics." Wu Sheng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and looked at the memo information on it. "There are some key projects. The Marquis hopes you can speed up the progress."
"For example... Taoyuan County First People's Hospital, Taoyuan Golden Music Hall, Kendeji Restaurant, and Red Romance Club."
"Wait a minute! What are these weird names? What are they used for?" Lai Gou'er said hurriedly.
"I don't know why the Marquis gave them such strange names, but it doesn't matter. Let him do whatever he wants. There will be more to come."
"Education is the top priority. The Marquis said that we should start with children. We will build a primary school affiliated to Dongjiao University, Shengcheng Experimental Primary School, and Shengcheng Yucai Primary School branch... We have brought all the teachers we need, but we need you to find someone to help compile the textbooks."
