My name is Ren

Chapter 81 New Year's New Weather

The first time I saw Renn, Iger had only one impression of the city lord, and that was youth.

Really too young, too young to be believed.

This is not to say that he has never met young city lords. In the Orlando Empire, there are many city lords who suddenly became in power due to the accident of the previous patriarch, and there are many city lords who are in their teens or even younger.Ren's youth is different from those of those people. After staying in Ortrenburg for four days, he inquired about this city lord who wanted to introduce the church on a whim from many aspects, and his curiosity suddenly turned into surprise.Strictly speaking, Ren's method was not very clever. He used the credibility of his identity and blood to throw out a huge pie, which convinced the lawless bastards and villains in Ortrenburg and fought.

Looking at this incident from the perspective of a bystander, it may feel too dramatic. Every step is like the plot of a well-written script, and every character is acting according to the absurd idea of ​​the screenwriter.But all of this is true, and it just happened so ridiculously.

His finesse, his daring, and his wit were seldom seen in a man his age.Some young people are very executive, but lack overall control.Some people have control, but lack the ability to execute.Only the experience and experience accumulated over the years can make this script so perfect. This kind of thing often happens to those old and cunning nobles who are over 40 years old.

So Ryan was really, really young, shockingly young.

Iger bowed his body and saluted. The etiquette is very standard and in place. The church attaches no less importance to etiquette than the nobles. Inside the church, they consider themselves servants of the gods, and their spiritual status is higher than that of the nobles, so all standards are also respected. All look up to the nobles.

Ren nodded in return. He pointed to the position not far to the left. The world is also respected by the left. It is a respect for the guests to let the guests sit in the first seat on the left.Under the effect of the curing lighting technique, the fair fingers have a jade-like roundness, plump and full of nobility.The meticulously manicured nails make Ryan's fingers look beautiful and elegant.

"Please forgive my curiosity, I heard that the bishop-level apostles of the church all have their own surnames?" Renn showed a puzzled expression appropriately, and of course this is also an external expression of his heart.

The surname is something only nobles can enjoy. The appearance and use of the surname means the birth and continuation of a family.For the common people, family is a very distant term. A poor life is not enough for the common people to reproduce a large number of offspring, because they cannot afford the cost of raising offspring. One or two children in a family is the most common phenomenon in this world. With such a few family members, naturally there is no need for a family management form.

What's more, whether it's a surname or a family, it's the privilege of the nobility.

Iger nodded and said: "That's true. Our servants who worship the gods will get the surnames bestowed by the gods according to the gods they worship." There is nothing you can't say about this issue. The imperial ruling class has long acquiesced, "For example, I , My surname is Suya, and my full name in the church is Aig Leye Suya. Aig is my first name, Leye is the name of my godfather, and Suya is the surname of the god I worship."

This answer leads to another question, "Don't you believe in the God of Light? I don't know the God of Light's surname is Su Ya."

Iger hesitated for a while, and decided to popularize the common sense of the church to Ryan. He said: "The God of Light is the Supreme God, but there are many other gods under the Supreme God. God does not refer to one god, but many. It’s like a family and a country. There are other gods under the Supreme God, such as the god of war in charge of war, the god of agriculture in charge of farming and mulberry, and the god of seasons in charge of the weather. The Suya I believe in is in charge of fighting A very powerful god of the Ministry."

So that was the case, Ren subconsciously touched the copper ring on his index finger, he gave a slight touch, and staggered the topic, "People from the outside world say that Ortrenburg is a city full of pus, and it has been several years since I came here. God, what do you think of this city?"

"The rumors are not credible!" Iger first confirmed his position, "This is a city of miracles, which is completely different from the rumors outside. I see a positive force here, which is enough to create A miracle that shocked the world!", he laughed, "This is also what I hope, I hope to build a cathedral as soon as possible, so that people's hearts have a home. Believing in God does not mean being divorced from reality, but A kind of spiritual richness, only when the spirit is satisfied can more miracles be created.”

Ryan couldn't help nodding, "You're right, that's why I wrote to the Pope." He paused and sorted out his thoughts, "I will arrange the affairs of the church as soon as possible, and I will plan the DC area. Make a place for the church to use, and the church will pay half of the construction cost. But here, I have a small request."

"You say!"

Ren stretched out two fingers, "At least [-] priests need to be stationed here, and it would be better if there were more. Ortrenburgers have suffered from illnesses and injuries. I hope that under my rule, My people can be freed from this heavy burden."

"Of course!" Iger didn't hesitate, and agreed immediately. This time it's his turn to ask for conditions, "Then about the missionary..."

The empire has always been in a semi-controlled state of missionary work, and firmly opposes the church's unrestricted missionary behavior. It is said that one of the reasons for the final collapse of the Holy Empire is precisely because the excessive spread of beliefs led to the collective runaway of the ruling class and lost The royal family who controlled the power raised the butcher knife, which triggered a protracted "War of Faith", and was eventually overthrown by twelve families with sacred blood, and established a brand new country.

Excessive belief will make the people lose their minds, devote themselves to the spiritual world, and ignore the factors of material existence, which will make Rennes lose the ability to control the city.

However, what is unexpected is that Ren didn't have too many reservations about this issue, "You can preach, as long as you don't violate the agreement in the Imperial Code."

Aiger immediately cheered up, stood up and bowed to Ryan, he was a little excited, "Your generosity and vision are something I have never seen before, and I will arrange to report it to the church as soon as possible. After the spring, the pastors will will be in place. Here I assure you that there will be no fewer than thirty priests."

Ren leaned forward slightly, and after returning the salute, he asked, "I heard that there is a kind of flower in the church that can bloom white flowers, round and round."

"Are you talking about the flower of purity?" Ren was stunned for a moment, but nodded. Iger smiled and said, "Of course, this is one of the church's specialties. Why, do you like this kind of flower too, my lord?"

Ren smiled and said, "Not only do I like it, but I also like it very much. I need a lot of seeds, do you have any?"

"Of course!"

Watching Iger leave, Ren shook his head with a smile. The young bishop thought things too simply. The reason why Ortrenburg is called the city of evil and the city of chaos is not because of the high crime rate here. , but refers to the mental state of the person here.Anyone who looks kind, kind, honest, and straightforward, but they all have a dark side, and they can become villains in a flash.Take that siege battle as an example. After the "ruthlessness" in the hearts of the people of Ortrenburg broke out, they directly defeated the elite shield guards.

They can even exchange their own death for the death of their opponent when necessary, this is an extremely ruthless mental state.Before the arrival of Ryan, any seemingly ordinary person could pull out a knife as soon as he turned around, and stab a stranger when necessary, just to feed himself and his family.

This is a city without faith, and there is no basis for faith. Everyone lives in reality.If the church can't give them enough to betray the future promised by Ryan, they will not believe in God at all, but in Ryan.

This is the interest and the reality.

As the weather gets colder, the snow gets bigger and bigger, and the moist air blown from the ocean continuously condenses into rain clouds, and sprinkles water in another form to the world.

Ortrenburg in winter is still full of energy. In the face of the ever-changing homeland, every Ortrenburger shows his enthusiasm.

Also in the deep winter of this year, the empire ushered in Orlando VII.

The health of Orlando VI is deteriorating, the elusive fire of life is about to be extinguished, and the entire empire is in a strange atmosphere.Every emperor's accession to the throne means a round of reshuffle. There is no such thing as an emperor and a courtier here, but there is also a saying that "an emperor will only grant high positions to those he loves and abandon those he hates".The political storm in the imperial capital is taking shape, just like the "quilt" covering the sky, accumulating in people's hearts.

From the ringing of the New Year's bell, the storm is stirred up.The first is the issue of enfeoffment among the princes and princesses.The enfeoffment system was a national policy during the period of Orlando I. Its purpose was to use the enfeoffed members of the Golden Family to suppress the aristocrats who had just experienced bloody storms and were out of balance.The identities and backgrounds of members of the royal family and members of the golden family are enough to make those disobedient nobles put away their fangs and lie dormant under the high-handed rule of the golden nobles.

But from Orlando III to Orlando V, the consequences of the enfeoffment system and the hereditary nobles finally broke out. More and more nobles were born and the empire was overwhelmed.These nobles are like leeches, sticking to the body of the empire and desperately sucking blood to satisfy their selfish desires.After a huge civil war, the top rulers headed by the Golden Family formulated brand new rules of the game and began to let the war between noble groups.

Every time a family dies, every time a blank power appears, it means that the power of the royal family, together with the golden nobles, is quietly expanding.Some wise nobles have seen the ultimate goal of the royal family, but there is nothing they can do about it.Not every nobleman is so clever, nor can every nobleman put aside his prejudice and hatred and unite against the royal family.

This includes the members of the royal family who were entrusted before, as well as the branches of the major gold nobles.Once their power in the local area is too large, they will get rid of the control of the central government, secretly establish themselves as kings, and refuse the central government to intervene.

This is why the contradiction between the "official city lord" and the "local lord" is becoming increasingly serious, and conflicts will erupt from time to time.

Just like Teman Ball's family, the answer given by the Bell Province was that they were attacked by bandits and lost all their lives.This kind of nonsense that even the common people don't believe, but the empire agrees, why?It is because the position of the Bohr family belongs to the "local lord", which is the kind that the empire is happy to see it eliminated.If another "official city lord" dies inexplicably, I am afraid that the central government will immediately send an investigation team to suppress local disturbances by force.

In this political storm, it was unexpectedly lingering on his last breath. Orlando VI, who was in the last stage of his life, suddenly awakened, rejected all the requests of his children, and only entrusted them with some less important and less wealthy places. .Even his favorite youngest son, Kant, only got a slightly richer fief, which was not big.Some princes protested this, thinking that these fiefdoms did not apply to their identity and status. As a result, they were brutally suppressed by Orlando VII regardless of brotherhood, and they were imprisoned in the imperial prison. It is not known when they will be released.

The rest of the princes and princesses shut their mouths obediently, and left the imperial capital silently under the power of this elder sister/sister.

In addition, the Imperial Prime Minister passed the "Imperial Non-Wartime Troop Amendment Act" in the Imperial Parliament with a unanimous vote. To put it simply, the system has changed from a sticky system to a rotation system.Prior to this, the local garrisons were all appointed by the military department of the imperial capital, and the governors appointed the officers of the garrisons in various places. The usual transfers only involved the level of officers, and did not affect ordinary soldiers.But after the passage of this bill, the transfer of local military affairs will be directly issued by the Imperial Military Department. Every three years, the garrisons in various places, together with soldiers and officers, will start to rotate and transfer to other cities and other troops.

The governor will no longer have the right to appoint military officers, but only the right to suggest, supervise, and call. This bill once again limits the possibility of the governor's expansion in the local area, and at the same time increases the central government's control over the local military.

In addition, more than ten families were demoted and exiled, and the top rulers of the entire country united around the new emperor, His Majesty.

Empire has also opened a new page.

=====
Today, it was snowing heavily for me, and I had to buy more goods, and my son was discharged from the hospital. I was so busy that I didn't even have time to rest, so I had to make a change.In addition, my son's condition has improved a lot. The shadow in the lungs has been reduced a lot, and he doesn't cough very much anymore. Now he still has a little inflammation. After taking the medicine for a few days, it will be almost the same.As for giving birth to a second baby, I have this consideration, but it is definitely not possible in the past few years. Economic ability and family manpower are restricting the birth of a second baby.

Look at the situation in a few years, if you have the ability to reproduce, I hope it is a small public opinion.
