Days Of Getting Rich In Another World Chapter 70

"It's really hard for you, by the way, what is the current output of these porcelains? Maybe they will continue to be provided to the Imperial Family in the future?"

Zhao Xuwen hurriedly said: " At present, the output of porcelain is still relatively low, but this small official is already working hard to expand production, and I believe it will soon be able to meet the needs of the Imperial Family."

"That's good, in the future, Baron William, you can focus on your energy. In this matter, if there is any need for human and material resources, you can directly contact Francois, and the empire will definitely support you."

The queen pointed to a middle-aged man in his fifties. Minister, Zhao Xu later learned that this is the minister of finance of the empire, and to put it bluntly, it is the money bag of the empire. The queen asked him to come forward to support Zhao Xu, which shows the importance he attaches to the production of porcelain.

Obviously, the queen was very satisfied with the gift of porcelain. Not only did she enjoy it for a long time, but she also discussed and studied it with the people around her. Most of them seemed very interested in it, except for one person.

"Although this porcelain is exquisite, it's still a trick, insignificant. The Queen Your Majesty still can't forget about that." The speaker was an old man in his 60s, with a fat body, who looked as if from behind A bear, looking at his clothes, it was obvious that he was someone from the church. Although Zhao Xu didn't know him, he could roughly guess that this person should be the Archbishop Andrew Mars of the current empire.

The Queen was stunned when she heard this: "Is it necessary? I think it may not be that serious."

Archbishop said: "Your Majesty, this is about the foundation of the empire. , we must guard against the slightest."

The queen seemed a little helpless at the time, and handed the porcelain in her hand to the attendant, and said to Zhao Xu and the others resolutely: "Baron William, I heard that you have recently been in the territory not only researching Porcelain is out, and some reforms have been implemented?"

"There is no reform, this small official just wants to revitalize the territory."

The queen nodded: "There is no revitalization of the territory. Wrong, this is also the responsibility of the lord, but some of your actions are indeed debatable. I heard that you advocate the same treatment of commoners and nobles, is there such a thing?"

"There is such a thing."

"This is a bit too much. Nobles often have noble bloodlines and have contributed to the empire. It is not respectful to confuse them with commoners, and without the superiority and inferiority, it is easy to make the villains angry. It's not good for the long-term stability of the country."

Zhao Xu knew that his actions would definitely make the aristocratic class dissatisfied. The Queen's argument was actually relatively mild, and of course he couldn't directly talk to the other party about equality for everyone. The prince and general Xiangning have some kind of thoughts on these, one is that the other party can't understand it, and the other is that saying these in this situation is equivalent to courting death, so Zhao Xu had to say euphemistically: "Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable, but this small official just thinks that You can't just use your identity and background to measure a person. The family of this small official is a new aristocrat, and its rise is shorter than that of many famous families, but whether it is contribution to the empire or loyalty, I believe in Your Majesty and everyone present will not doubt it. , since our family can slowly rise, why not the commoners? Similarly, even the famous nobles are not without black sheep. These people are not necessarily better than the commoners in terms of character and contribution. This small official just hopes to give those who are truly outstanding Those who are loyal to the empire have more opportunities and respect."

When Zhao Xu's remark came out, everyone at the scene couldn't help but discuss spiritedly, some agreed and some opposed, in fact, the attitude of most people was relatively mild. The only exception is Andrew Archbishop.

"Absurd, Baron William, your remark is simply deviant. The nobles are all chosen by God, and they are fundamentally different from the commoners. You confuse them not only to shake the system of the empire, but also to Going against the will of God, everyone thinks like this, how can the entire world not be in chaos?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu somewhat understands why this Archbishop is targeting himself, although he keeps on saying for the sake of the empire The stability is actually because he understands that once this hierarchical society is broken, the church will be hit first, and they will lose their authority to control others through religion. Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling a little emotional at the time, and he didn't know what to say about this Archbishop. Smart or stupid.

At that time, Zhao Xu said: "Then I will ask Archbishop for advice. You say that nobles are chosen by God, so why do some families fail, and why do heretics also appear among nobles?"

"What's so strange about this? Even those chosen by God will inevitably be bewitched by demons and degenerate. Once that happens, God will naturally withdraw his favor from them, so we must strictly abide by the teachings."

"Well, if the nobles lose God's favor, they and their families will fall and decline. If God favors the commoners, will they and their families rise again?"

"This is impossible."

"Why is it impossible? Do you want to say that God is not omnipotent?"

"Nonsense, God is omnipotent and omnipotent, I mean how can God be Deliberately caring for the common people."

"That's not right, although I don't know much about theology, but I also know that the church has always claimed that even sinners can be redeemed as long as they obey the teachings and believe in God. Sinners are still like this, why can’t God favor the common people? Could it be that all the church’s words are deceiving people?”

“Of course not, but the will of God is not something we mortals can speculate at will, you Doing so will only confuse the public."

"I confuse the public, so I have to ask Archbishop, are you a god?"

"Of course not!"

"Is that a demon or an alien?"

"How is that possible!? Are you slandering me!?"

"Don't get excited, I'm not malicious, It's just that since you are not a god or a demon, you should be a mortal, so how can you guarantee that what I do is not in line with the will of God?"

"This...but the will of God has already It has been relayed to us through many prophets, and if it violates these contents, it is not acceptable."

"But as far as I know, the prophets are not one, and they do not live in the same era, in other words, to the will of God. The narrative is also constantly being added, so how can you guarantee that what I say is unacceptable."

"But you are not a prophet."

"Then are you? If not, how do you prove what I say is wrong."

"Absurd, this is simply outrageous, Queen Your Majesty As far as I know, Baron William has been arrested by the Illuminati on suspicion of colluding with heretics before. , I now seriously suspect that he is a heretic, and his thoughts have been deceived by demons, which is hopeless!"

"But I have been released by the Illuminati, and I am innocent in this matter. "

"But that's because of the lack of evidence, and it doesn't prove that you are innocent."

"Why, does it mean that Lord Bishop thinks that there is no evidence, and only suspicion can Can you convict someone? Then I can also suspect that you, bishop, are a heretic, confuse the public here, and wrong the will of God! "
