Chapter 1380 New Taipei District National Education Headquarters
New Taipei District has lagging behind in its development, but as the economic center here, the interior of Yuancheng is still quite lively. It can be said to be full of traffic along the way.
The internal facilities of the city are basically all that should be available, not like remote mountainous areas.
Among them, the National Church Cathedral occupies the central area of Yuancheng!
The state religion of the Great Zhou was different from the sect in the conventional sense. It was not a simple religious facility, but a practical and functional department, and it was more like an important department under the Great Zhou development system.
Departments like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Propaganda Department that actually play a role are now under the leadership of the State Church.
In addition, the state education also has the functions of modern society similar to the "citizen center" and the "talent market".
One of the areas has set up a business window, and some identity registration, work assignments, and even children's schooling in the city are registered and handled at this business window.
Simply put, you can understand it as the current National Church Cathedral, which is the largest municipal complex in a city.
Of course, apart from these functional facilities, they also have some religious functions as a nominal sect.
Therefore, there is often a cathedral inside.
To be honest, this is Zhou Xu, a cathedral, for the first time.
As the state religion, the only one who believes in himself as the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
Although this matter is fine, Zhou Xu always feels strange, so he has never been to this area before.
However, the National Church Cathedral in Yuancheng, New Taipei District can be said to be famous.
In other aspects, New Taipei District can be behind, but in terms of the development of national education, New Taipei District can only be said to be far ahead.
After all, don’t forget that the National Education made its fortune in New Taipei District.
Even now, the state religion has covered every existing city in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the one with the best development and the most pious members is still the New Taipei District.
The core area of New Taipei District is the National Church Cathedral in Yuancheng, which was once called the National Church Headquarters!
Compared with this, in the minds of the believers, even the state religion of the capital Black Moon City can only be called the capital branch.
This made Zhou Xu feel a little curious and wanted to come over and find out.
As soon as he walked in, the first thing that attracted his attention was the statue of the emperor standing in the middle of the church.
The statue was bathed in a ray of light, as if it was sacred and inviolable. Just a glance would make people unconsciously feel respectful.
Such an effect will be formed, which is inseparable from the design of the church.
The upper half of the church, all the way to the roof, is almost entirely made up of painted windows.
The glass used to make windows is no longer a expensive material inside their big circumference, but the cost of painting is extremely high.
At the same time, these paintings are not just for the sake of splendor. Each painted window has actual content, and it is the history of their Great Zhou Dynasty so far!
From the earliest exiled tribe to the arrival of the emperor in the ceremony, he changed the fate of the tribe, settled in the black forest, established the Salt Lake tribe, and then developed step by step to this day.
Looking at these painted windows, Zhou Xu felt like he was a different life.
Even he himself did not realize that he had experienced so much without realizing it.
For a moment, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
[Good guy, according to the conditions at that time, I really can't do this without some faith! 】
Following the normal thinking, you may think that the conditions were so difficult at that time. If you had the spare money to build this church, it would be better to use it all for the people and construction.
In fact, at that time, Zhou Xu had the same idea.
As the main staff member of the State Education, Kong Daqian had reported to him, and then he was convinced by Kong Daqian.
At that time, Kong Daqian was still cultured and his words were a little rough, but he could only say that his words were rough but not rough.
According to Zhou Xu's understanding, what Kong Daqian wanted to express at that time was, "How much does it cost to build such a church?" The development and construction of the entire New Taipei District, or used for the people, is a drop in the bucket, and it cannot even be wasted. However, if this church can be built, it can provide countless spiritual food for the people of New Taipei District. , let them strengthen their will and persevere! ’
When the living conditions are so difficult that they are not enough and there are limited resources and they want to survive, they have to talk about their faith!
Zhou Xu really can't say that this idea is wrong, because the facts are right in front of them, and they have indeed survived.
This incident also gave Zhou Xu a new understanding of Kong Daqian's talent.
He found that in addition to being able to speak and being eloquent, he had to understand others' ideas and ideas well, otherwise how would you "dispute"?
From this point of view, this is really an excellent talent, which is enough to allow Kong Daqian to join the ranks of three-star god-level internal affairs personnel.
Of course, this is actually related to Kong Daqian's own hard experience in the early years. He understands these people very much. To a certain extent, this experience has also added a lot of help to him.
After passing through the outside hall, a confession room was arranged behind it, which was the idea proposed by Zhou Xu.
To put it bluntly, it is the psychologist of this era who provides some psychological counseling and comfort to believers. Once launched, it has become a popular project and is greatly beneficial to the mental health of believers.
In addition, the cathedral holds a ‘livery ceremony’ every Sunday, without restricting its identity. No matter whether it is a believer or not, anyone can come to attend.
To put it bluntly, the essence of this ceremony is to promote doctrines, or to promote patriotism and teach ideological education classes to the people.
In order to improve the effect, they often distribute some eggs and milk on this day in the name of "Emperor", which is generally called "Emperor's gift".
At present, the results are very good, significantly increasing the loyalty of the people in the region to him and the cohesion within him.
After receiving the exact feedback, Zhou Xu also wrote a big stroke and directly ordered the establishment of small churches in various blocks.
Compared with the cathedral, the chapel is much simpler and has a low cost. The fundamental purpose is to set up a confessional room in every block.
While ensuring the mental health of the people, the coverage of "living ceremony" is increased, thereby further expanding the influence of the state religion.
Now it has formed a scale and is integrated into the lives of the people of New Taipei District.
Even when conflicts arise between neighbors, these small church staff are often taken to play guest mediators.
Although this is an outside-plan work, in terms of the results, it further enhances the influence of the State Education among the people of New Taipei District.
Zhou Xu, who received positive feedback, simply included this work directly into the daily work of the State Education.
