Seeing the little brother in front of him being impressed by his magnanimity, Wu Sheng did not show a trace of joy on his face.
Too many... He has seen too many people like this.
"Since you understand, then cooperate with me fully. We will each do our job. Is there enough manpower in the Holy City now?"
Lai Gou'er nodded: "We have enough manpower. Master Wu can rest assured. We can start several projects at the same time."
During the previous turmoil in the holy city, although a large number of poor people came out to rob and cause trouble, only a few people benefited and could enjoy their lives.
Most of them just take advantage of the situation and continue to look for opportunities to work.
If you want to build a house, it is enough to have a group of people who understand the technology to lead others to work together.
As for ship repair, Dajing also has craftsmen who specialize in maintaining ships.
It is not difficult to transform a ready-made large merchant ship into the kind of luxury cruise ship that Master Wu requires.
"Master Wu, do you have any other requests? I will help you coordinate it first."
Wu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I need an accompanying translation assistant, preferably one who is smart and studious, and familiar with the local customs and practices."
Lai Gou'er said immediately: "No problem! One of my assistants is quite smart. Master, please follow me back to the Temple Mount. I will bring him to see you and help you arrange accommodation."
"Oh, there's one more thing. Before I left, the Marquis asked me to ask you how the coffee shop and oral liquid are going?"
Lai Gou'er thought briefly and said, "I'm working on it, but I've been very busy lately. I'll be able to get it done after a while."
Wu Sheng nodded, and the two of them immediately went out and returned to the Temple Mount.
Inside the office on Temple Mount, Wu Sheng and Lai Gou'er were still discussing the documents in detail.
Not long after, a young man in his twenties appeared in the house and looked at Wu Sheng curiously.
Lai Gou'er immediately pulled him to his side and introduced him to Wu Sheng, "Master, this is the deputy assigned to you. This guy is usually quite smart and is fluent in Spanish. If you need anything, just tell him directly."
Wu Sheng looked at the young man and said with satisfaction, "Well, not bad. He looks quite smart. What's his name?"
The young man straightened his body and said, "Lo Yide!"
Lai Gou'er smiled and said, "Master, this kid's name sounds a bit like a foreigner's name. Many people misunderstood him as a local when they heard his name."
"Xiao Luo! You should learn well from Master Wu in the future. The master is very knowledgeable! Even a few words he said are enough for you to learn for a lifetime! Now hurry up and accompany Master Wu to find a place to live and serve him well!"
"Yes!" Xiao Luo guided Wu Sheng to find a place to live with a respectful look on his face.
Not long after, Pope Solje pushed open the door and walked in with a tired look on his face.
Seeing Lai Gou'er weakly said: "Master Lai, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm still preaching."
Lai Gou'er sighed, "Father... No, you are the Pope now. As the Pope, you should act like a Pope. Why are you still doing the work of a priest? Aren't you tired of running around every day? You are going to be in charge of management now. You will tire yourself out if you do everything yourself."
"Besides, who among the people below will obey you if you do this? Keep some distance from them and restore the order of the church as soon as possible. The most urgent thing is to consolidate the foundation."
Pope Solger sat in front of him, picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it all.
"I've been doing this for half my life. I'm used to it. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"Okay." Lai Gou'er spread his hands and said, "Luckily I'm here, otherwise it would be a miracle for you to survive until today."
"I came to you today because I have something very happy to tell you."
Pope Soljie raised his head and asked in surprise: "What's the good news?"
"Da Jing sent a group of people who are willing to help rebuild the Holy City and put it in order."
"That's great!" Pope Solje said in surprise.
As Pope, he has no awareness of becoming a leader and obviously has not yet freed himself from his identity as a priest.
"Yes, but I need your help here. There are many priests following you in the city now, right? I need them to help me compile the Yellow Book when they are active in the Holy City. That is, the specific information and distribution of the number of people in the city, or you can call it the household registration."
"At the same time, we will first rebuild housing in slums, and then distribute houses according to household registration, or sell them at low prices."
"This is the plan I just discussed with the people sent by Dajing. The first batch of communities will be built in the slums of South City. The name has also been chosen, and it will be called Shuxiang Home."
Father Solger scratched his head, looked at the map and nodded repeatedly: "Very good, very good."
"Also, some important locations in the city need to build schools, places for market activities, and hospitals... Do you have any objections?"
After looking at the location pointed out by Lai Gou'er, Pope Soljie hesitated and said, "Other things are fine, but the school... There are many church schools in the city, so there is no need to repair them, right? Besides, we need to teach theology here..."
"The school in Dajingxiu can also teach theology, you can rest assured about that. However, we have taken into account that a large number of people in the slums have been released, and now there are many more children from poor families. The church school may not be enough, so we can supplement it with these three schools."
"Moreover, they will teach some unique knowledge in Dajing, which will be of great benefit to the children in the Holy City. They will be fully capable of visiting Dajing in the future. If you are worried, you can loan me a group of teachers from the church school. Anyway, the teachers from Dajing don't understand the language here, so we need cooperation from both sides."
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with saying this, and that's the truth.
After careful consideration, Pope Solger agreed cautiously.
"Well, it's not a bad thing after all. Just do it. If you need my help, just let me know."
That's it.
Lai Gou'er was happy.
Although Soljie's current influence almost all comes from Dajing, the church represents the entire grassroots after all.
If he feels that it is not possible, there will inevitably be some trouble if there is a lack of cooperation in the future.
"Okay! Since you agreed, let's start making arrangements from today. You arrange the priest, and I'll assign you some professionals to record the Yellow Book in the city and help us publicize the project plan. All other engineering matters can be left to me. As for the other details, we'll discuss them in the next few days."
"no problem."
