Chapter 953: Meeting the Priest Again



The exciting days are approaching.

Just three days ago, all arrangements were completed and Qian Zhengyi had already reported part of the plan to the court.

With Chen Hong's help, and so many overseas delegations having decided to participate, no one among the court officials objected. After all, it was just a competitive event to promote friendship and a celebration at the same time. Since everything was ready, let's just do it!

Many people even have a secret expectation in their hearts.

Civil servants are not very interested in activities to promote friendship. After all, they are all small countries. Which one of them would actively try to cling to the big guys? What's the point of that?

But the celebration sounds much more interesting. Think about it, the last time such a large-scale "celebration" was held was the battle between Zhang Biao and Heishan Chilie a few years ago.

It was a truly memorable experience, with a grand scene and cheers everywhere.

It is indeed exciting to see two strong men fighting, and the music playing at that time still makes people's blood boil when they think about it.

I wonder what form this celebration will take?

The public also started to warm up the idea in newspapers in advance, and after receiving collective approval from the court, they turned to intensive propaganda.

Of course, this time all the content is positive, and the main direction is to promote the spirit of sports and the details of each project.

And the slogan of this year's Jingyun Games is...Higher, Faster, Stronger~

The main purpose is to attract private businessmen to invest in advertising.

Nowadays, private businessmen have already witnessed the power of advertising through newspapers, so they are naturally eager to participate in such a huge event involving many countries.

For a time, countless businessmen with a keen sense of smell heard the news and flocked to the newspaper office to sign up.

As long as you successfully register, no matter the size of the advertisement, you can claim to be the strategic partner of the first Dajing World Games when selling products in the future.

This sounds really awesome! Plus, the newspaper will definitely promote it vigorously after the sports meet, so won’t their products be sold out?!

People also opened the market and started making predictions for various events.

Although the sports meet has not yet begun, the entire capital city has begun to become restless.

On this very day.

Emperor Jing left the palace and, surrounded by hundreds of officials and countless royal guards, headed for Dongjiao University.

Behind them were the envoys from other countries.

Fang Zhengyi was beside Emperor Jing, looking very happy.

In addition to promoting culture, this event will definitely boost business and make a ton of money!

Emperor Jing asked, "Zhengyi, are you sure there won't be any problems with this sports meet?"

He was well aware of the reactions of the people and the court, but the more things got complicated, the more uneasy he felt.

After all, this is the first time that there is such an event to welcome foreign guests.

If anything goes wrong, China will lose all its face!

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely satisfy everyone and have already thought of the rewards for the foreign envoys."

Emperor Jing nodded, still feeling a little uneasy, and asked, "You mentioned before that there would be an opening ceremony. Will your Taoyuan County troupe come to perform?"

Um?

Fang Zhengyi's face turned serious. "Absolutely not. The opera troupe has been banned! They won't have a chance to perform this time. Besides, foreigners can't understand our essence."

"That's good, that's good." Emperor Jing comforted her.

As long as you don't act in those messy dramas, I don't think it will be too embarrassing.

"I did not see the Feika Kingdom on the list submitted a few days ago. Could it be that they still harbor resentment against our Great Jing and are unwilling to participate?" asked Emperor Jing.

Fang Zheng said, "Your Majesty, those who came to Feika are missionaries and craftsmen. It's not that they don't want to, but we don't have the right people, so we only invited them to visit."

Naturally, all foreigners had to be invited to this event, so he specially ordered people to go back to Taoyuan County to bring Father Soljie and others over.

Emperor Jing looked back and saw Father Soljie who looked sick. He asked, "It must be them. Why are they in such a bad mood? Is there something wrong with them?"

Fang Zhengyi also took a look and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. He probably didn't sleep well. I'll go check on him."

After saying that, he pulled the reins and moved closer to Father Solger to observe Liang Yan carefully.

Although the priest was not in high spirits at the moment, the other missionaries seemed to be in a good mood and were all in high spirits.

If nothing unexpected happens, those people should have been naturalized. After all, according to his experience, the time to brainwash a group of people would not exceed five days!

Brainwashing is just a virtual thing, but it is different in Taoyuan County. The combination of the real and the virtual is more effective.

After all, the living standards are really good, and no one can refute it.

Fang Zhengyi jokingly said, "Father, long time no see. Are you feeling well?"

Father Soljie raised his head with fatigue in his eyes that could not be concealed. When he saw that it was Fang Zheng, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.

Devil, I saw this devil again today!

He forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Lord Fang, for your concern. I'm fine."

"You look so tired, you must have worked very hard, right?" Fang Zheng asked with innocence in his eyes, "With so many of you in the past two months, you should have saved enough money to buy land and build a church, right?"

When talking about the church, Father Soljie's eyes turned red and his mind was filled with unbearable memories.

Two hundred people worked desperately, fourteen or fifteen hours a day, and ate the cheapest meals, just to save money to buy land and build a church.

It turned out that the land price in Taoyuan County was ridiculously expensive. It would take a rough calculation to save enough money to buy the land and build a church.

After hearing the news, many people on the spot began to waver. If they continued like this, they would be ruined!

Fortunately, he suppressed it with all his strength and promised to go to the county government to apply on behalf of others to transfer to a 996 job.

I only found out when I got to the county government that in order to change to 996, I had to withdraw from the association and become a citizen!

Some missionaries who couldn't stand it turned against the government for this 996-hour job, and more than 50 people were lost in this wave...

Making money was slow in the first place, and now with a quarter of the population gone, building a church is even less hopeless.

However, there is always a way out. After get off work, he continued to study Dajing culture and finally discovered that local monks have a magical skill called begging.

So after get off work, he started taking the missionaries out to beg for alms.

According to Taoyuan County's requirements, he cannot preach yet and can only shamefully call himself a foreign monk...

Fortunately, the people of Taoyuan were considerate enough and helped the foreign monks collect enough money to buy the land before the notice of Taoyuan County prohibiting rewarding foreign monks came down.

But when I went to buy the land, I found that I could only buy a piece of land as big as the fucking land temple, and I was not allowed to buy any other place!

Bad things happened one after another. Not only could I only buy a little, but I couldn't increase the amount.

Taoyuan County insisted that no discussion was allowed, and more than 70 people had mental breakdowns on the spot. They went to the county government to apply for withdrawal from the union and work an additional 996 hours.

The remaining one hundred people decided to buy land and start digging.

It's small on the surface, but you can't control it if I expand it underground, and there's wilderness around it!
