    Archbishop Samuel did not wait long, and soon Tian Erniu, wearing crimson robes, came to the living room.

    He stood up quickly, saluted Tian Erniu with a smile on his face and said, "Samuel has met the Governor."

    "Mr. Samuel, please sit down."

    Tian Erniu nodded slightly. When Samuel arrived, Tian Erniu got up and guessed his purpose of coming. It was for the benefit of the church in Hong Kong.

    "Thank you Governor!"

    Samuel sat down gently and looked at Tian Erniu in front of him. He was still very young, with short hair and a shaved beard.

    The beard was an extremely important thing in the Western world at this time. It was a symbol of men. Only those who had been castrated in the palace did not have beards.

    But the other party is from the Ming Dynasty. Almost all the people from the Ming Dynasty are dressed similarly to Tian Erniu, so there is nothing to say. This may be the custom here in the Ming Dynasty.

    "Your Excellency, Bishop, I am here. What do you want me to do?"

    Tian Erniu was also looking at this Samuel, who was similar to the missionaries he had seen in Europe. He was wearing a purple robe with a cross embroidered on it, a large silver cross hanging on his chest, and a purple robe on his head.  Small round hat.

    According to what Tian Erniu knows, this outfit is the most formal one. The bishop is the main person in charge of a large district and has extremely strict dress regulations.

    "Your Majesty the Governor, Cornwall used to be under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of England. Now the Kingdom of England has ceded it to the Ming Empire. Our church has no objections to this. However, the Ming Empire is far away in the east after all.  , we may not understand a lot of things, so this time we came here specifically to consult with the Governor, in case there is anything in our church that violates the laws of the Ming Empire."

    Samuel is a very wise man. He did not directly state his purpose. Instead, he first talked about the relationship between Cornwall and Ming Dynasty, because they had not had any contact with each other in the past.  I know too little about it, so I came here to learn more about it.

    In fact, the disguised meaning is that they do not understand the laws of the Ming Empire. It also means that the Governor's Mansion does not understand the actual local situation, fails to respect the church, and cancels many of the church's privileges.

    "Well, we should get to know each other better."

    Tian Erniu heard the meaning of the other party's words, but smiled and nodded and said: "I wonder what aspects of the matter the Bishop wants to know?"

    "Your Excellency, Governor, God loves the world. Our church has always been committed to spreading the glory of God to the world, and we hope that more people can return to the embrace of the Lord."

    "I heard that there is no spread of our Christianity in the Ming Empire, and I also heard that there is no religion in the Ming Empire, so I wanted to ask if we can spread Christianity in the Ming Empire."

    Samuel thought for a while and asked.

    "It is true that there is no Christianity in our empire, but that does not mean that our Ming Dynasty does not have religion. We Ming people basically believe in Buddhism and Taoism."

    "As for whether Christianity can be spread in our Ming Dynasty, our emperor of tomorrow has also made a clear will. No foreign religion can be spread in our Ming Dynasty."

    Tian Erniu thought for a while and said very directly.

    "God, this is such a pity!"

    When Samuel heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but shook his head and said.

    He has learned in detail that the territory of the Ming Empire is extremely vast and huge. The eastern part of Asia is almost all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it also monopolizes the Americas and Australia. The colonies of the Ming Dynasty are also spread all over the Indian Ocean. The total population of the Ming Empire has reached 1.  Five hundred million.

    He felt it was a pity that such a huge empire and such a large population did not believe in the Lord, and the Emperor of Heaven also strictly prohibited the spread of foreign religions.

    "Nothing to regret."

    "This Hong Kong used to belong to the Kingdom of England, but now it belongs to our Ming Dynasty. Since the people here believe in your Christianity, it is not easy for me, the Governor, to force everyone not to believe in religion."

    "But you are only allowed to develop your Christianity here in Hong Kong. Other than that, you are not allowed to spread Christianity anywhere in the Ming Dynasty."

    "In addition, according to our Ming Dynasty's laws, no temples, Taoist temples, churches, etc. are allowed to enjoy any privileges. At the same time, the property and personnel they own must also be reviewed by our Ming Dynasty court."

    "So your church is not allowed to levy any taxes from the people in the future. The land and farms owned by the churchHe said very forcefully that he would never tolerate such a thing happening.

    Once the church loses many of its privileges and cannot sell various items to make money, what will the church clergy do?  What to drink again?

    Of course, the more important thing is that God cannot allow such a thing to happen. Not only must he continue to maintain his divine power here in Cornwall, but he must also find a way to spread the glory of God to the Ming Empire.

    "Yeah, you can try it."

    Tian Erniu smiled and said nonchalantly.

    "You~"

    When Samuel saw it, he immediately left angrily.

    As soon as he returned to Cornwall Cathedral, Samuel immediately began to write a letter to the Pope in Rome. He must not watch the church lose its privileges. He must put pressure on the Ming Empire to let them know that the church  The powerful power of the Ming Dynasty allowed them to have special privileges and allowed them to preach in the Ming Empire.

    "Immediately send people to confiscate the church's fields, manors, shops and other properties, and at the same time post laws prohibiting the payment of tithes to the church, the purchase of indulgences, etc."

    Here Tian Erniu also immediately issued a new governor's order.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
