Are rulers as foolish as the people in foolish regions and countries?
Certainly not. Ignorance, backwardness and occlusion are actually a means for rulers to rule the people. This is like the blockade of knowledge by the aristocracy in the past. Incompetent rulers do not want the people ruled by them to have the ability to think independently.
They hope that all people are fools and idiots. Just act according to their own requirements every day. Don't think so much, because the more things you think, the more unstable the ruling power is.
For example, when people begin to think about "Why me", rulers will start to panic.
Because the question "Why me" is followed by "why not you" and "how to change".
So no matter how stupid the region is, the rulers will not be stupid, just like the high priest in front of Lynch.
He has many children, and there are several unbelievers among his children, such as the youngest.
They were born in a very good era in the eyes of the high priest. With the progress of communication, transportation and society, these children went abroad to study and were exposed to some of the most cutting-edge science, technology and culture in the world. They have been separated from the category of ignorance. They began to examine the society in which they were born.
Knowing that sending a child out will bring some possible unstable factors to this society, why does the high priest still send his child out and still plan to send the last child out?
Because he is not a fool, or a fool in people's imagination. He knows that people can be foolish, but rulers can't.
If a fanatical believer is allowed to become a high priest, it will not bring religious prosperity, but destruction. He hopes that one of his children can successfully blend into the believers to become a high priest and take over his rule.
In fact, the high priest himself can be regarded as an unbeliever. It is precisely because he holds this important position that they understand that there is no God in the world?
Even if there is, those gods have long rested or left. For decades, countless prayers and sacrifices have been made, and the gods have never given even a little feedback.
At first, he was very frightened. When he first became a high priest, he was very upset and frightened. He found his father, the last high priest, and talked about these things.
His fear and anxiety came from the God's lack of response. He thought that the God hated him and didn't like him, so he didn't respond to his prayer.
How can a man who hates gods become a qualified high priest?
Until his father, the last high priest, a worthy religious leader in the province, personally told him that there was no God in the world!
At that moment, the faith collapsed, but he survived. He became his father and the high priest in everyone's eyes.
Mysterious, kind, but keep a distance from people, get the favor of the gods, and often listen to the teachings from the gods.
But this is not the way. With the expansion of international exchanges, more and more foreigners have come to nagary, which can not be resisted.
No matter how closed the country is, it can't stop the enthusiasm of "gold miners". They will come. Everyone knows from the beginning.
And these people will bring some terrible things, such as thoughts, which will awaken those who are fooled by the regime and theocracy.
Their guess was correct, so they expelled some businessmen who brought dangerous ideas, left some businessmen who were willing to treat people as people with them, and continued to exploit the whole society.
But it can't last long. I don't know if it will be broken in a few years, ten years or decades. What will angry people do at that time?
They will tear up everything that was above the mountain above them in the past and establish a new order. How noble and arrogant these priests and noble families are today, how miserable they will be when the real "great destruction" comes.
So when Lynch joked that the religion of eating horse shit to treat diseases had a foundation and believers in the Federation, the high priest was moved.
It's a retreat, and it's so... Wonderful, yes, wonderful!
The Federation is very rich, but their people are also very stupid, or stupid, which is not much different from local people. He doesn't expect his faith to be comparable to the largest religion in the Federation, but even if only 10000 people believe in the gods he believes in.
These 10000 people donate one dollar a month, that is, 10000 federal sols, almost more than one million galilees, which is enough for their family to live a decent life.
Even if the things here are lost, their future life will be carefree.
Thinking of this, the high priest had some ideas. He originally planned to send his youngest son and the most beloved youngest son to gavra. Gavra, as the country with the best market in the world, not only has a high status, but also has good development potential.
But now the idea of the high priest has changed, and perhaps the Federation is the most appropriate place.
He thought that he had made a decision in his heart. When he came back, he didn't know how long it had been.
"Just now the God was calling me..." he explained his absence, which was very consistent with his identity. "Where did we just talk about?"
"The Union and those foolish religions!" Lynch gave a hint.
"Yes, the Federation, and religion." the high priest nodded noncommittally. He soon changed the topic, "I heard you're going back these days. Will you come again?"
Many people know that Lynch wants to go back to the union, and the high priest naturally knows it, but he is a little uncertain whether Lynch will come again.
To be honest, the provincial governor created a problem for Lynch. Originally, the high priest didn't care and could watch a lively scene, but now he thinks these people's brains are really bad. They only look at interests and don't understand the long-term.
He was worried that Lynch would not come back after being targeted by these people, which was not a good thing.
Soon, Lynch's answer made him relax, "why not? I like it here and I'll come back. This time, I just transport some things back and look for projects that can cooperate with the local government."
The answer let the high priest breathe a sigh of relief. He asked in a slightly deliberative tone, "my little son is old enough to go to school. He is younger than you. For young people, going to the outside world is very helpful for their growth."
"What do you think if I let him go to the Federation?"
Lynch certainly can't object. This is also his plan. "It must be very good. Although the Federation didn't participate in this world war and didn't show our military and scientific and technological strength, we have to say that we have always been the forefront of the world in science and technology."
"We just happened to meet a somewhat stupid president, but we won't continue to be stupid next."
"In the Federation, your child can enjoy the best education, the most relaxed attitude and the most free environment in the world, which cannot be given to him elsewhere!"
This is not an exaggeration. In a semi feudal country like gavra, people can't discuss the royal family, matters related to the royal family, dignitaries and some sensitive current affairs.
There is only the Federation. Even if someone stands outside the presidential palace with the sign "the president is a silly beep", as long as he doesn't make a noise and affect the office order in the presidential palace, and as long as he doesn't illegally invade the warning area marked with yellow line outside the presidential Palace, no one can take him.
According to the Federal Constitution, releasing, expressing and transmitting ideas is everyone's most basic power, but it is difficult to do in some other countries.
The high priest immediately made a decision. "Is there a problem with him going with you?" Lynch shook his head and the high priest patted the handrail. "Then it's settled."
It seems that the high priest asked his favorite little son to go with Lynch to trouble Lynch to take care of his little son on the road or even in the Federation. In fact, it is not.
The contradictions and differences between Lynch and some people in the province have not been resolved. Someone has sent word that Lynch will run into a wall. It is even rumored that if Lynch doesn't stand in line one day, he can't leave nagaril one day, and if he leaves, he is not allowed to come back.
It's hard or even impossible to go. The high priest doesn't know how Lynch will leave, but it doesn't prevent him from being a favor at this time. If his little son goes with Lynch, no one will dare to intercept him and his boat.
Because doing so means that not only the contradiction with Lynch has been completely intensified, but also offended one of the largest forces in Magura Na Province, offending so many people at once. These people should seriously consider whether it is worth doing so.
Of course, the high priest did mean to let Lynch take care of his youngest son in the Federation. He sold a favor to Lynch in order to get feedback from Lynch.
Both of them knew it, and the matter was settled.
Originally, the high priest wanted to remind Lynch of the value of religious belief in the local area. Now he was led by Lynch, and he was too lazy to talk about the supremacy of divine power.
Casually asked him if he was used to it here and if there were any things he was not used to. After giving a few free blessings from the gods, he asked Lynch to leave.
After Lynch left, the high priest sat in the empty room with some strange expressions, some smiles, some sarcasm and some self mockery.
