Chapter 608 Political Game
"The church wants to participate in this imperial operation?" Purficott stroked the bear skin under him and stepped on the bear head that was specially preserved. On the top, the expression on his face was a little playful: "It's okay, but I want to know the reason."
Although he said that, in fact, Purficott also wanted to know the reason. It was just that the church wanted to use it. This is an opportunity to clean up or sort out the situation of heretical sects in the colonies.
After all, in the past, with the official support of the empire, the church had always been the most mainstream faith school in the empire. It had missionary activities both in the empire itself and in the colonies, and had accumulated a very deep foundation of faith.
But the arrival of the apocalyptic winter not only cut off the communication between the empire itself and the colonies, but also caused the church to lose control of the branch churches in the colonies.
Now that the empire has decided to regain its colonies, how can the church not step in and regain its own branch churches?
“The church hopes to reintegrate the colonial beliefs into the orthodox faith, and we sincerely ask your lordship for your permission.” Although Sabel changed her words, the meaning remained the same. The core idea is that the church should regain control of the beliefs of each colony. .
Perfect didn't have any objections to this. She just nodded and asked: "Why do you want my permission? Shouldn't you go directly to the imperial officials for this kind of thing? I remember the relationship between the church and the royal family. We have always had a good relationship, right? Aren’t Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess better at talking to each other than me?”
Faced with Purficott’s question, Sabel suddenly found it difficult to answer.
If I answer from a politically correct perspective, there is no doubt that it is better for the queen and the eldest princess to speak.
But who doesn't know now that the person who really speaks for the empire is Perficott, the Earl of the North?
However, this kind of thing obviously cannot be revealed. After all, once this matter is revealed in person, it will undoubtedly accuse Perfectcott of being a powerful official.
Although this is something that everyone knows now, as long as Purficott is still a loyal minister of the empire, it is impossible to say this in front of her.
So Sabel could only say at this time: "My lord, you are a living saint personally proclaimed by the Patriarch, and a person blessed by the Father. As a believer in the Lord, we should seek your opinion."
"A smart answer, but also a cunning answer." Purficott didn't care, just waved his hand and said: "In that case, you can send someone to go with you! But think clearly, it is a choice Follow the people in the north, or follow the people in the empire center.”
After speaking, Purficott didn't wait for Sabel to say anything more, and asked the old butler to see the guests off.
After Sabel left, Purficott stood up and walked to the window barefoot.
The Lord's Mansion has complete heating, and there is an energy tower and constant temperature barrier in the square at the door. Purficott is barefoot in the house, and at most he only feels a little cold, but will not be cold.
But at this time, it was snowing outside the window.
Although the energy tower and constant temperature barrier keep the temperature within its coverage within a range acceptable to humans, it is still below freezing.
So when it snows, even within the constant temperature boundary of the energy tower, snowflakes will still fall and form thick snow.
Compared to the extreme low temperature of tens of degrees below zero outside the constant temperature barrier, the temperature within the constant temperature barrier is less than ten degrees below zero, which is already very comfortable.
However, the snow will eventually have some unnecessary impacts on people's production and life. Therefore, government agencies across the northern border have also arranged dedicated personnel to be responsible for cleanup work to ensure smooth roads.
This job was originally mainly done by robots. It was as if there was a robot in front of Purficott cleaning the snow in the square in front of the Lord's Mansion. However, with the arrival of the final winter, the population in the north has experienced a large increase due to the migration of the empire's center, making the employment rate a slightly surprising issue.
So now this job is mostly done manually, and the machinery is only responsible for clearing the snow-covered roads and transporting the snow outside the city.
The weather is so cold that it is conceivable that it is impossible to wait for the snow to melt. Therefore, the snow in the city can only be transported out one by one after being cleared and piled in the city. A city wall slowly formed outside.
The reason why I say this is because the Chernobog city government really plans to use the snow to build a city wall.
It is said that they thought this would protect them from the wind.
Perficott did not comment on this, but did not stop it. After all, this was indeed possible in theory.
And the snow in the city really needs to be cleared away, just like some things will inevitably happen even if she doesn't do it.
"Aunt Anne, I have paved the way for you and created opportunities for you. It depends on whether you can grasp it or not." Purficott sighed, but she There really is no more energy to focus on these things.
Although she seems to be relaxed and lazy recently, in fact, most of what people see is just her stand-in doll.
As for herself, she stayed in the laboratory for a long time to conduct new research, in order to be able to complete the research topic at hand, meet the requirements of the Jade Record, turn the seventh page, and obtain omniscience. ability.
Perfect clearly knows how powerful the ability of omniscience is and what changes it will bring to the world.
She must devote most of her energy to this matter. As for political struggle? She really couldn't be distracted too much, so she could only put on a lazy look, give a big policy when necessary, and leave the rest to her subordinates.
Fortunately, whether it is the officials from the northern border or the team left to her by the old prince, these people are very capable and handle the matter under the guidance of the general policy given by Purficott. It's pretty decent.
Although he maintained political suppression on the center of the empire, he did not make things too stalemate. It seemed as if Purficott was going to follow the old example of Grand Master Dong and Prime Minister Cao, and wanted to blackmail the emperor to order the princes.
Although with Purficott's current power and strength, she can really do this, but she does not intend to do so.
After all, she was not interested in power and politics, and she was able to sit where she was today only because of the situation, not to mention that she had more important things to do now.
But, as she said, there are some things that someone will do even if she doesn't do them.
Power is never in a vacuum. If she does not hold these powers in her hands, then naturally there will be careerists who want to grasp these powers.
So in order to prevent the power of the empire from being really controlled by some careerists, Purficott can only hold these powers in his own hands first, and then hand them over to Princess Anne after she has grown to a qualified level. she.
