    On the streets and alleys, processions from nearby shrines kept appearing. Some boasted about the efficaciousness of the fox gods they worshiped, some boasted about the boundless mercy of the Buddha they worshiped, and some even shrines directly enshrined comic characters, but  There are still many believers.  This is really a picture of all living beings.  No matter what, after a lot of hard publicity, the Poseidon Church where Li Dawan is located finally has dozens more believers and hundreds of underage believers.  Not to mention that the number of believers in Poseidon churches in various places in Nimaru continues to increase due to the efforts of pastors.  Cheng Kong can also feel the increasing number of believers.  At this time, Cheng Kong was sitting on the sea in the palace, with waves rising and falling all around. Small hurricanes hit one after another on the sea, causing huge waves to rise one after another, and lightning flashing. This was Cheng Kong's rule related to his own divinity as he was consuming his divine power.  Conduct in-depth analysis.  It was probably barely enough. Cheng Kong counted the faith connections connected to him. The number had increased from more than two hundred at the beginning to over five thousand. Although these new faith connections were all as thin as hair, one  It looks like it could break at any time, but the power of faith provided to Cheng Kong every day is not small.  It is enough for Cheng Kong to analyze the rules twice a day.  When the waves subsided and the hurricane clouds and lightning dissipated, Cheng Kong slowly opened his eyes. At this time, lightning flashed in Cheng Kong's eyes from time to time, or a wave rolled up. After a long time, the abnormality in Cheng Kong's eyes slowly began to change.  Retreat.  Cheng Kong stood up at this time, and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the palace gate.  When they arrived outside the palace, the stream of light passed through the air mask channel and fell on the nearby sea. Cheng Kong stretched out his hand and touched the sea surface gently, and then a piece of golden light spread out, forming a huge light mirror on the sea surface.  ¡°The scene shown in the light mirror is thousands of meters deep on the seabed.  ¡°It is different from the seabed scene that most people imagine. The seabed scene shown on the light mirror is a light red.  The low, circular hot spring vents are densely packed on the seabed, and countless underwater creatures thrive on this seabed hotbed.  There is the warmth brought by the hot springs here, and the undersea creatures survive by replacing oxygen with the sulfur emitted by the hot springs, forming small biospheres near the hot springs.  Under Cheng Kong's gaze, a cloud of yellow mist suddenly emerged from a circular hot spring spout. As the yellow mist spread, a black-gray substance with a hint of red appeared at the hot spring spout, and caused  The seawater above it began to bubble.  Obviously, that black-gray substance is magma. After the magma cools down with water, it solidifies into black-gray volcanic rock. The red color on it is due to the increasing pressure below, which pushes the magma out of the hot spring mouth and has not yet solidified.  That¡¯s all.  Soon, the magma pouring out from the hot spring vents continued to increase, and a series of dense bubbles rose toward the sea surface.  For a few minutes, the seafloor was like boiling water, and magma continued to gush out. Finally, the crust around the hot spring could not withstand the huge force brought by the magma, and cracks appeared.  After more than ten minutes of brewing, a stream of magma burst out and condensed in the seawater in the blink of an eye, forming a towering stone pillar.  But as the magma continued to erupt, the stone pillars were broken and collapsed, and another stone pillar stood up.  The sea floor also began to rise, but this was just a prelude to the volcanic eruption.  Finally, the earth's crust cracked open, and countless magma surged out, accumulating on the sea floor, and quickly spreading toward the sea surface.  When it is three to four hundred meters away from the sea, the erupting volcano is unable to follow up. The cold seawater continues to take away the heat of the magma, causing it to solidify rapidly. At this point, a steaming reef is formed under the sea.  At this moment, the golden light mirror shattered and dissipated on the sea, and Cheng Kong's face turned pale for a while before returning to its rosy color, but his brows furrowed.  Compared with the other divinities, the divinity of the earth is the weakest link in Cheng Kong's own divinity. Cheng Kong spent all the divine power accumulated in these days and could only survive under the weak crust of the seabed.  It's just a small volcanic reef everywhere.  If it is in a place with thick crust on the sea floor, the magma may only be able to flow out a little, just like squeezing out toothpaste.  Such a result was not what Cheng Kong wanted, but Cheng Kong had no choice but to accept this.  After returning to Achilles Island, Cheng Kong happened to meet the completion of the second Japanese crash course and the start of the third Japanese crash course.  However, in terms of personnel composition, there are differences between the second term and the third term. ?? 100% of the students in the second Japanese crash course were born as big liars, while the third JapaneseThe crash course is a newcomer selected by Butler James through the offices of Achilles Security Company in various countries.  These new pastors from all over the world are attracted by the high salary.  "Compared to the current economic recession in various countries, the salary offered by Achilles Island is enough to make these young people who have just graduated from college excited.  Well, this approach is also done by Butler James to prevent the pastors in the Poseidon Church from showing a single tendency. Although in this way, the pursuit of those pastors becomes money, but for Cheng Kong, as long as the number of believers can be increased, the pastors  It doesn't matter whether you are religious or not.  What¡¯s more, Cheng Kong is confident enough that this situation will change once he ignites the divine fire.  Cheng Kong did not go to meet the newly graduated priests. After all, it was necessary for Cheng Kong to remain appropriately mysterious.  If you are too familiar with something, you will lose your sense of awe and will not be able to develop faith.  Next, Cheng Kong just called Butler James over and asked a few questions carefully.  This group of new priests is also preparing to be sent to the Kingdom of Hinimaru.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  "It has been two months since Li Dawan and others went to Riwan. I will give you a list. The pastors on the list can be promoted to the presiding pastor of the new church." Cheng Kong did not need Butler James to tell where the church would preach.  How many believers can know it as long as Cheng Kong has a slight thought.  Cheng Kong closed his eyes, and a trace of divine power spread along the faith connection. After a while, the information Cheng Kong needed was fed back.  Which pastor worked hard at preaching, which pastor was lazy, which pastor was pious, and even which pastor had escaped, all appeared in Cheng Kong's mind one by one.  For Cheng Kong, as long as the other party has prayed to him, even if the faith connection is broken, he can still find the whereabouts of the other party within a period of time.  Of course, if the time drags on for too long, more than three or four months, there is nothing Cheng Kong can do.  After all, Cheng Kong has not even ignited the divine fire. Whether it is converting the power of faith into divine power or using divine power, it seems quite difficult.  Just for a while, Cheng Kong's face turned a little pale, and the magical power he had accumulated in the past few hours was exhausted.  However, after such exploration, Cheng Kong sorted out a list, grabbed a piece of white paper, and shook it lightly, and dense words appeared on it, all of which were the names of priests who were going to Hinimaru Kingdom. Of course,  At the end, there are several red names that are crossed out.  These red names are pastors who secretly defected from the Poseidon Church. Three of them even turned the Poseidon Church they were in charge of into a place of filth and evil, and used the water and fire ring passed down by Cheng Kong to do evil.  , recruited a group of Bosozoku, and extorted money from the surrounding residents. It can be said that they did all kinds of evil.  Not to mention the children who heard the night cry, they were at least as good as the Street Tigers. How could Cheng Kong let people like this corrupt the Poseidon Church go?  If Cheng Kong hadn¡¯t been unwilling to waste his divine power, he would have thought of extracting their souls and torturing them slowly.  Butler James took the list and saw that Cheng Kong's face was not very good, so he didn't dare to say anything, and then backed away and left.  An ordinary man is angry and his blood splatters three feet. An emperor is angry and his blood flows into a river. The gods are angry and the mountains collapse and the earth splits.  To be honest, Cheng Kong was quite angry after this incident happened, but it was not to the point where the earth would collapse.  But in this case, the fate of those priests is hard to say.  ??Himaru Osaka, Rikutian Town, is located in the Poseidon Church in the East 1st District. Powerful heavy metal music is constantly roaring, and various chattering sounds are constantly coming from inside.  The three priests stationed in the Poseidon Church were currently hugging several women, drinking red wine, and kept stroking the women in their arms with their hands.  The originally solemn and sacred prayer hall of the church has been turned into a bar. Young and Dangerous boys, bosozokus, etc. wearing all kinds of strange costumes, with earrings dangling from their noses and ears, are having fun in this bar.  The place where the statue of Cheng Kong was erected has been turned into a bar, and a bartender is performing his bartending skills on several girls, constantly attracting cheers.  As for the dark corner of the church, there was a group of guys who were almost drunk, and they hugged the woman and groped her up and down for a while. Finally, they went straight up with their guns, and the live broadcast started. ??The entire Poseidon Church has turned into a big den, extremely smoky and unsightly.  However, these guys did not notice that the door of Poseidon Church quietly opened, and a hot breath spread in.  Looking at the scene in the church with a pair of fiery red eyes, he couldn't help but become angry.  This time, the person sent by Butler James to deal with the defecting priest was a hero who Cheng Kong had personally led.  Li Feijun!  This person was originally a game studio owner. After not knowing how to enter the hero world, Cheng Kong took the time to take them with him in Demon Fang City, thus giving them a place in the hero world.  Now Li Feijun is no longer the little fire-throwing monster he was back then.  Although its evolutionary direction is not very good, it has now evolved into a violent fire demon.  The violent fire demon is a level 5 unit and a long-range unit. It can throw hundreds of powerful fireballs in an instant and attack enemies within a kilometer.  Although the violent fire demon is weak in close combat, there is no problem in killing the fifth-level evolved troops and seriously injuring the sixth-level troops with this violent fireball after widening the distance.  After possessing such strength, Li Feijun was extremely loyal to Cheng Kong, and is now one of Cheng Kong's followers. Although his faith is not pious, it is much more pious than other heroes.  So after receiving the order from James¡¯ steward, Li Feijun immediately set off overnight and rushed to Riwan.  After finding this church according to its address and opening the door, Li Feijun almost burst out of anger.  Although he said his faith was not pious, he was extremely loyal to Cheng Kong. Therefore, after seeing this scene, Li Feijun couldn't control his emotions, and a burning smell came from his body.  In the blink of an eye, the white suit on Li Feijun turned yellow and burned in a moment. Li Feijun's body also straightened up, and his muscles became stronger as if he was blowing air.  "Go to hell! Blasphemer!" As a beast-like roar sounded, Li Feijun's right hand, which had turned into sharp claws, waved towards the church.  Whoosh, whoosh, more than a dozen fireballs the size of human heads appeared in the air, and then flew towards various parts of the church.  This sudden scene caused the church to fall into chaos, and the drunken people woke up. They made piercing screams and tried to escape.  But at this time, it was too late. The fireball thrown by Li Feijun was by no means comparable to that of the fire-throwing monster. It flew close and exploded on its own, forming a ball of fire that spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the church was filled with fireballs.  Turned into a sea of ??fire.  But there is something strange about the sea of ????fire, that is, even if it falls on the paper, it will not cause burning. It seems that it does not exist in this world, but those who are enjoying themselves are emitting flames that reach the sky.  After a few seconds, the fire gradually extinguished, and the crowd inside the church gradually dissipated into the air like dry ice as the fire went out.  By the time Li Feijun turned around and left, the entire church had been completely renovated and no one was left. It only needed a short rest before it could reopen.  With Li Feijun taking action, the defecting priests were found and burned to nothingness one by one. In less than three days, Li Feijun's mission was completed.  "Compared to these defecting pastors, pastors such as Li Dawan who are serious about preaching are extremely happy.  Li Dawan had only been preaching for two months before he was officially promoted to the presiding pastor of his church. There is also news that after all 270 churches in Nimaru Kingdom are opened, the current pastors from various places will be replaced.  Three pastors were selected from among the priests to take charge of the entire Hinamaru diocese.  Of course, there will not be only three pastors in the entire Nikumaru Archdiocese, but the promotion of the first three pastors will definitely be smoother in the future.  When Li Dawan was studying in the Japanese crash course, he actually studied and understood the organizational structure of Poseidon Church in detail.  He knows that once he is promoted to the chief pastor, he will be called a big shot below three people and above ten thousand people.  This is the benefit of emerging churches.  As long as you make achievements, you can be easily promoted due to the vacancies in high-level positions.  If it were an old church, it would be very difficult to move even if we put in ten times the effort.  To be honest, in Poseidon Church, as long as you are promoted to the main pastor, you can be regarded as a big shot.  As it stands now, there are 270 churches, and each pastor has to manage 90 churches. This is not a small number.  Of course, if the number of churches continues to increase in the future, the number of pastors will also increase accordingly.? In addition to Li Dawan who was so happy that he even woke up laughing from his sleep, the other two pastors who lived in the same church as Li Dawan were also overjoyed.  Due to their outstanding missionary achievements, these two pastors were also promoted to presiding pastors, but the presiding pastors needed to take up their posts in the new church.  But even so, it is enough to make people happy.  It can be said that after these two months of training, most of the first batch of new pastors who went to Hinimaru Kingdom have adapted to this kind of missionary career. Therefore, nearly two hundred people were promoted and became the first batch of pastors in churches from various places.  the presiding pastor.  Most of the pastors among them will go to the new church to take up their posts, and use their experience to teach the second batch of new pastors who come to Rimaru.  Although these priests may not be qualified clergy after two months of training, they are at least much better than the second batch.  Cheng Kong doesn¡¯t have a good way to train these priests now, so he can only do this.  In this case, at least the organizational structure of the church can be quickly spread out.  As for some of the guys inside, they can only blame themselves for not working hard.  Just like the more than 90 people in the first batch of pastors who were not promoted, they will be redistributed and compete with the second batch of pastors.  Of course, if they don¡¯t work hard, they are likely to continue to compete with the third and fourth batch of pastors.  Well, of course, as long as they don't defect and leave the church, even if they are lazy, they may have a chance to be promoted.  After all, the Church of Poseidon was in its infancy and there was a shortage of clergy. After the Hinamaru Kingdom was fully developed, the African countries around Achilles Island and even the territories in the United States would need a large number of clergy to fill it.  No way, although the earth is not as vast as the heroic world, the population density is much higher than that of the heroic world. The number of priests required to preach with such a large population is at least 500,000 or 600,000, and at most is hundreds.  Thousands or millions are possible.  Well, Cheng Kong has now regarded the entire earth as the grazing land of his faith.  Although there are many legends and allusions about gods on the earth, Cheng Kong has also sensed that although there are still fluctuations of divine power in some places, the entire earth has not seen any miracles for thousands of years.  In Cheng Kong¡¯s view, the gods on earth may have had some accidents and therefore did not appear in the world.  As long as you light the divine fire yourself, are you still afraid of the failure of those old churches that don¡¯t show miracles?  As time continues to pass, Cheng Kong spends most of his time in the Island Turtle Palace, concentrating on analyzing the rules and completing his divinity. He occasionally goes out to deal with some major matters that Lao Ma and others cannot make the decision.  As for the negotiations between Achilles Island and the United States, they are still in progress.  No way, at the beginning, the vice president who acted as the president had some integrity and only agreed to half of the many demands made by Achilles Island, which were all unworthy of mention.  However, the right to free and legal preaching and the ransom of five billion US dollars, which Cheng Kong valued most, were vetoed by the vice president.  To be honest, Cheng Kong didn't care at all that the ransom of five billion US dollars was rejected. After all, the five aircraft carriers alone exceeded the five billion US dollars.  Even if the United States is unwilling to redeem the aircraft carrier fleet, then if Achilles Island is directly sold, I am afraid that someone will be willing to pay for a US$2 billion aircraft carrier.  You must know that these five aircraft carriers are built with the world's first-class scientific and technological level in every aspect. If any country can buy one for various aspects of scientific and technological research and analysis, it will be beneficial to the overall scientific and technological improvement of its country.  Very helpful.  Of course, Cheng Kong also knows that if the ransom is demanded based on the value of the entire aircraft carrier fleet, I am afraid that the United States would rather fight another war than pay this money.  The cost of building an aircraft carrier formation is at least 10 billion US dollars, and the total cost of the five-carrier formation in Laos and the United States is probably no less than 50 to 60 billion US dollars.  Even if it¡¯s half the price, Americans won¡¯t pay for it.  There is too much money. Whoever agrees to this condition may not be able to explain it in the future.  Cheng Kong asked for five billion U.S. dollars, funds originally intended to be used to build and renovate churches in the United States.  And this number is not large compared to the value of the aircraft carrier formation. I originally thought that the other party would nod.  Who would have thought but it was rejected, even the right to free and legal preaching was rejected.  Of course, His Excellency the Vice President prepared a separate negotiation clause, which deleted a lot of things.  The United States paid 200 million US dollars to redeem the aircraft carrier fleet and all captured personnel, but the right to free and legal preaching did not appear.  Of course, this may be the intention of His Excellency the Vice President.One of the negotiation strategies.  But this angered Butler James, who was directing the negotiation process behind the scenes.  In the view of Butler James, the free and legal right to preach requested by Mr. Cheng cannot be modified in any terms.  Even if the United States does not compensate, as long as the right to free and legal preaching is guaranteed, it is not impossible to return the aircraft carrier fleet to the United States.  After all, for Achilles Island, these aircraft carrier formations basically have little threat.  ?Subsequently, under the instructions of Butler James, the negotiators from Achilles Island immediately protested righteously to the United States and stated that they had received an order to shelve the negotiations indefinitely.  With Achilles Island actually withdrawing from the negotiations and expelling the old and American negotiating team directly from Achilles Island, the vice president who was trying to play a hard-to-get trick became anxious.  Playing offline! ? Originally thought that I could use my strength to blackmail the other party so that I would pay less and gain the support of the people.  But now, the negotiations have been directly put on hold. Although he does not have to worry about Achilles Island abusing the captives, the impeachment case in the parliament has entered the process, and it will not be long before the impeachment case is voted on.  Of course, needless to say, the impeachment vote this time, the President who was paralyzed by a stroke, stepped down properly.  But the problem is that when the president steps down, an election will be held immediately. If I cannot achieve results on this matter, I am afraid that I will not have any advantage in the subsequent election.  The frantic vice president even called the presidential hotline with China when official channels could not communicate, requesting China to intervene.  Well, this makes the Chinese senior officials feel very happy. After many years, the United States, the bully that has been running rampant in the world, finally bowed its head.  Of course, although China¡¯s top leaders agreed to the coordination, they were not very diligent.  You must know that Achilles Island is now an ally of China, not to mention that excessive efforts in coordinating this matter will cause misunderstandings on Achilles Island.  ¡°It would be detrimental to China if the United States is allowed to reach an agreement with Achilles Island so quickly.  In this regard, only Cui Jianguo contacted Butler James with China's intentions. After Butler James said that he would not discuss the matter in a short time, Cui Jianguo was not discouraged at all and turned around and left. For him, how to communicate with James  Gaining a greater advantage in the war of the indigenous kingdom is what one should strive for.  After Butler James reported to Cheng Kong, Cheng Kong also agreed.  After all, the Poseidon Church has not even taken down the Hinamaru Kingdom, let alone the United States.  "Well, it's okay. It's okay to hold them off for a while." After Cheng Kong said these words, Butler James immediately relaxed his heart.  After all, although this matter was for the sake of the master, it would be unclear when the negotiation would end. James was not sure of Cheng Kong's thoughts, so he was quite anxious before.  Shortly after Achilles temporarily put the negotiations on hold, the U.S. Congress unanimously passed the impeachment case against the current president, making the president who was still lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital the fourth person to be impeached in U.S. history.  president and the second president to be successfully impeached.  This is really history-making. You know, it is quite difficult to successfully impeach a sitting president in the United States.  The impeachment case needs to be passed by the lower house of parliament and then passed by a two-thirds vote of the upper house of parliament before it can take effect.  ??This is not to mention the number of members of the Senate who support the president¡¯s party.  It can be seen from this that this President is indeed very unpopular.  Since His Excellency the President was successfully impeached, it also triggered a series of cascading effects.  The Vice President who had unfavorable negotiations was re-elected as President because of the downfall of the President.  But the problem is that because Achilles put the negotiations on hold and the news came out that the Vice President had set up obstacles to the negotiations, some members of Congress soon filed an impeachment case against the Vice President.  Of course, in order to prevent the continuous replacement of presidents from bringing forward the election and increasing domestic instability, the upper and lower parliaments jointly rejected this impeachment case.  But the condition for vetoing this impeachment case is that the Vice President who has successfully taken office must restart the negotiation process as soon as possible.  After all, compared to His Excellency the Vice President who has already taken office, those congressmen want to take this opportunity to expand their influence. ????????????????????????? The former Vice President and current President, His Excellency, is like a duck that has been caught in a trap. In just one month,Here, more than ten envoys were sent to Achilles.  In the end, the negotiations started again, but this time Achilles Island was not in a hurry. Every clause had to be negotiated for more than half a month, which almost made the president suffer from his old habit of being anxious.  In short, the negotiations were carried out bit by bit under the control of James Butler. This time, Achilles Island was like a lion, asking for 20 billion in ransom alone.  Of course, it is a necessary process of doing business or negotiation to pay the high price and pay the money on the spot.  The President now feels the difference between ice and fire. His refusal to agree has delayed the negotiation for too long, and he is expected to be impeached again. If he agrees to this huge sum of money, he will also be impeached.  This speed is difficult to control.  Negotiations are proceeding slowly, but the captives imprisoned on Achilles Island have become props for the new priests of Poseidon Church to practice.  By this time, Achilles Island had sent five groups of priests to the Hinamaru Kingdom, totaling more than 1,300 people. Among them, liars or language enthusiasts from the country accounted for about one-half, about 600  There are more than 400 university graduates recruited from various European countries, and more than 300 people are residents of Achilles Island.  After the TV station was launched, James Butler installed large outdoor TV screens in crowded places to broadcast live programs.  Although this TV station currently only has one channel, it contains a lot of content.  In addition to vigorously promoting Cheng Kong as the reincarnation of the Poseidon, he also listed many of Cheng Kong's great deeds. Of course, many of them were fabricated out of thin air.  ¡°No one would be serious about it anyway, and even if someone were serious about it, these great deeds all happened in the heroic world, and there is no way to find evidence of their non-existence.  Of course, in addition to promoting the greatness of Cheng Kong, there is also some propaganda about the Poseidon Church. Well, there are also some interesting questions and answers related to the Poseidon Church. If you answer correctly, you will get certain rewards.  With the continuous insidious influence of TV programs, the religious atmosphere on Achilles Island has finally changed a little.  Some relatives of heroes who could not find their place on the island and felt that they were of little value saw opportunities here.  Since the fourth batch of the Japanese crash course was officially renamed as the Poseidon Church Pastor Training Course, more than 100 local residents of Achilles Island have signed up to participate.  Although many of them are elderly people, ranging in age from fifty to more than seventy, their registration applications were still approved through special approval.  Not to mention, even though most of these local residents are old people and are not as good as young people in terms of memory and physical strength, their hard work in studying is enough to put the first three batches of new pastors to shame.  Therefore, when this group of new priests went to Japan, Butler James deliberately arranged for the older ones to go to an area with a better environment.  Not to mention, after this group of new pastors arrived in Hinimaru Country, the ones with the best preaching results were these uncle-level pastors. Their performance in the two or three months of their missionary work in Hinimaru Country even exceeded the top three.  Batch of priests. ??????????????????????? Well, the reasons are more complicated, but they are related to some social customs of Nishimaru Country.  As we all know, the Himaru Kingdom is a rather peculiar country. While advocating Confucianism, it has formed its own unique samurai spirit. In modern times, it has striven to leave Asia and join Europe, vigorously promote Western culture, and has been castrated a lot by the United States.  After the East and West, some world-famous cultural industries were born, such as pornography, comics and cartoons, mystery novels, etc.  Under such influence, Japanese society appears to be more impetuous, but it also follows some basic social norms similar to those in China.  The key points here are seniority, following the rules and even worshiping the wisdom of the elderly.  When this basic social norm is applied to faith, it is these old pastors who are more popular.  This is just like how people in the world choose older doctors when they see Chinese medicine. They feel that older people have more experience and better medical skills.  For those believers, the priest is equivalent to the status of a soul guide.  If the pastor is too young, believers may naturally develop a sense of distrust.  ¡° Elderly pastors can create a sense of trust and dependence in believers without saying much, making it easier to carry out missionary activities. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? for the country has now made great strides into the aging society stage, the age structure in various places is aging rapidly, which also makes the believers more older.  It is easier for older pastors and these believers to communicate and share common topics. ?If a pastor in his twenties were to communicate with these believers, the effect would probably be much worse.  It is precisely because of the beneficial effect of older pastors on preaching that when recruiting the fifth batch of pastors, Butler James also increased the recruitment of older people.  Of course, after these five batches of priests are trained, Achilles Island will no longer import priests from Asahimaru Country.  The total number of pastors in the five batches has exceeded 1,800, and they are scattered among 270 churches in Hinimaru Kingdom. On average, there are more than six pastors in each church, and even in some larger churches, there are  Eight priests.  As a result, the number of priests in the church seems slightly denser. You must know that some churches were originally converted from small shrines dedicated to mountain spirits and monsters. Small shrines like this can only provide housing for three to four people at most, and six people.  If a priest lives in it, it may seem very crowded.  But this is just a temporary congestion. With sufficient funds from the Indian war reparations, more churches are being built. These more than 1,800 pastors may not be enough if they are really spread out.  The most critical problem is that the population of Japan Maru Country is really large, with a population of 130 million in a much larger territory.  Cheng Kong also made special calculations for this purpose. If he wanted to control the religious beliefs of the entire Japan Maru Kingdom, and each priest was responsible for preaching and managing 10,000 believers, then the entire Japan Maru Kingdom would need 13,000 believers.  Priest.  Of course, when applied in practice, this is not how it is calculated.  For example, it is necessary to remove children under the age of fifteen. Children under the age of fifteen have undecided minds. Even if a faith connection is established with Cheng Kong, it is extremely unstable and provides very little power of faith.  Therefore, they cannot be regarded as true believers.  ¡° In this way, at least 13% will be removed, and some people who are unlikely to believe in Poseidon for professional reasons or other reasons will be removed. Then the number of Poseidon¡¯s followers who need to be educated will drop to less than 100 million.  Of course, if a pastor is really responsible for preaching and managing 10,000 believers, I am afraid that the pastor will be exhausted to death.  Therefore, less than five thousand is more appropriate, but in this case, the number of priests needed by the entire Hinamaru Kingdom will rise to more than 20,000.  This is a huge number for Poseidon Church, which has only been established for less than a year. You must know that even if some outstanding pastors are transferred back from Japan Maru Country to expand the scale of training new pastors, this pastor training class  The number of trainings has been expanded each time, but now, the number of new priests trained in each batch has only increased to more than 600.  No way, the current space on Achilles Island is not generous.  When Cheng Kong learned the news, he had to sigh and told Butler James to increase investment in Agadas Island and develop the purchased land as quickly as possible.  By this time, Cheng Kong had come up with the idea of ??creating a professional clergy school.  As the number of pastors continues to increase, the inferior impact of some crash courses also appears.  The so-called crash course naturally compresses the teaching time, replaces quality with quantity, and spawns a large number of priests in a short period of time.  Of course, one can imagine how high the quality of such a pastor is.  There are quite a few people who embezzle donations from believers, but as long as they don¡¯t betray the church, it¡¯s hard for Cheng Kong to punish these people too harshly.  In addition, the most critical problem is their lack of missionary experience.  You must know that in Japan Maru Country, religion can be called an industrialized structure.  To be precise, for now, the religion of Hinamaru Kingdom can be called a divided world. Buddhism and Shinto each account for more than 40%, while the middle share is less than 10%.  , is shared by shrines dedicated to various mountain spirits, earth spirits, and strange monsters.  According to incomplete statistics, the shrines that account for 10% of the total enshrine thousands of kinds of gods, mountain spirits, earth spirits, etc., but even so, the incense of these shrines is still abundant.  It can be imagined from this that the rich preaching experience of the priests and monks who were cultivated in such a religious atmosphere is definitely not comparable to that of newcomers like Poseidon Church.  During this period, the best performers were the more than ten pastors headed by Li Dawan. For more than half a year, each of them recruited an average of about 200 more believers per month, which works out to seven or eight new members every day.  believer.  But this is only the best result. As for other priests, on average, it is good to be able to recruit thirty or forty people every month.  The worst-performing pastor is a bit of a bloodbath, every monthA dozen or so people may even lose followers and become a negative number. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? are and were were working in full swing in Japan is that each of them only recruited more than a dozen believers to join the church on average.  The total number of followers in the entire Poseidon Church now only exceeds 25,000.  Although compared to the few believers on Achilles Island at the beginning, it can be considered a relatively outstanding achievement.  But if you count the money invested in Japan Maru Country, even James Butler would blush.  (To be continued.
