Chapter 668 Bishop Gore

However, Gore believes that the most important reason is that apart from the remnants of the Church of Steam imitating the methods of the Blood Feast Emperor of the Bassatona Empire, the merchants of the Church of Steam used various means to provoke ideological battles.

He, Gore, was an Arabella.

In addition to confronting the Extraordinary head-on in the church's struggle, there is also an ideological battle.

Those merchants from Arabella, although they didn't have the extraordinary ability to influence the hearts of the people from the Dawn Church, they were very good at influencing ordinary people.

However, the group of merchants from Arabella were very good at diverting conflicts.

For those nobles, the merchants who robbed the interests were undoubtedly the enemy, but the merchants were very good at diverting conflicts.

This method is not clever, but very practical.

Divide, cause the lower classes to fight each other, let their own existence be downplayed in this problem.

The aristocratic royal family of the Arabella Federation was disintegrated, and a political structure was established with commerce and industry. However, this made it easier for the people of Arabella to see the essence.

For Extraordinary, what is the essence of status? The right to speak.

What determines the right to speak?

strength.

What is the nature of status for ordinary people? It is also the right to speak.

So what determines the right to speak of ordinary people?

money.

For ordinary people, only money and economy have the right to speak.

You can't eat, wear and drink, so how can you have the right to speak?

People in Arabella, as long as they have a certain amount of education, can more or less see some signs.

But the Arabella merchants didn't want them to see it.

Where do the interests of businessmen come from?

need.

The most basic needs of people are food, clothing, drinking and housing, but what about higher ones?

They are all artificially created.

Where there is demand, there is interest.

So, how to create demand?

To provoke, to divide, to make people think more—

Envy and jealousy are two sides of the same coin.

Or jealousy is the dark side of envy.

This operation not only allows Arabella businessmen to divert the hatred of those lower classes, but also concentrates their envy.

Take Arabella's "downtown" as an example. Among the poor, there are also many rising businessmen, and many people come to the upper city to work hard for work.

Faced with these merchants, the merchants who were originally located in the "upper city" started a "wave" of propaganda.

Originally, it was the group of businessmen who used various means to lower the wages of the workers and even lay off employees.

But, in their claim, it becomes "Downtown rednecks take your jobs."

People with no brains were provoked to anger.

And those who had conflicts with the people from the lower city, either with ulterior motives or were really stupid, also joined this "condemnation", adding various negative names to the people from the lower city.

From then on, the distinction between the upper and lower cities in Arabella, which was originally vague, began to gradually become clear.

People began to be ashamed of living in the lower floors and honored to leave the lower city.

People intentionally wear different clothes and use different items from the downtown people, as a "division".

Many people ignore the fact that those businessmen are exploiting workers.

Demand, too, arose.

Kill two birds with one stone.

And among the merchants who rose from the lower city, not all of them are the kind of people who are ashamed of their origins. There are quite a few people who have done nothing wrong. Up and down town.

Then to buy things, I will selectively go to the merchants from the lower city to buy and work, and I will also go to work with the merchants from the lower classes.

If something goes wrong, the businessmen will also transfer the conflict. It is obvious that the businessmen are squeezing the employees in order to get more benefits. They will say that they are persecuted and discriminated against by the people in the upper city.

Originally, it was a section-by-section exploitation of the pyramid. After the businessmen used various sayings, people who agreed with it agreed, thinking that it was the businessmen at the top who oppressed themselves and caused their misfortune, but the people at the same level as themselves. outsider.

People who do not agree are also diverted part of their attention under the repeated voices of others. Even if they know who is oppressing them, it is difficult to do their best because of the loss of attention, and they even act with a clear purpose. Sometimes, it will be thwarted by those who agree with misleading.

This is still the lowest-level and simplest application.

The division of regions, divisions of bloodlines, divisions of occupations, businessmen stir up conflicts among different things one by one, create demand and gain benefits, and at the same time divert their attention and divert the jealousy and threats they will receive .

Although it can't be completely eliminated, it is worth their joy to change from 10 to 4 or even 3.

The Hidden Pope archbishop divides these bishops to fight with each other, using which bishop has obtained resources as a provocation, thus hiding the fact that they themselves have taken a lot more from the resources that the bishops originally deserved.

And Gore himself used this differentiation very skillfully.

However, he is also very clear that this method of differentiation will strengthen a concept.

faction.

Merchants will use workers to strengthen the various characteristics of workers. Different regions are different factions, different occupations are different factions, and different genders are different factions.

Factions will fight each other, confront each other, workers will ignore resource managers, and how much those merchants have taken from what they should have been entitled to.

Originally, the workers who moved the goods onto the ship should get 10, and the workers who brought the goods to the dock should get 9, but in the end the former only got 5, and the latter only got 4. The merchants provoked the conflict between the two and asked them to think——

Among the latter, those who are satisfied will think: It is very tiring to move onto the boat, but it is not too tiring to pull it to the pier, and it is okay to be lower.

For the latter, those who are dissatisfied will think: Why can they get 5 when they put it on the boat, but they only get 4 when they pull it to the dock?

Among the former, those who are dissatisfied will think: Why is it so tiring to move onto the boat and only get 5, and they can get 4 when they pull it to the pier by car?

Among the former, those who are satisfied will think: moving on a boat is more tiring than pulling it over, and it is right that the pay is higher.

From the beginning to the end, they ignored the real core issue of "how much they should get", and the contradictions set by the businessmen discussed and even fought around the false core of "who should pay more for handling and transportation".

From the Rose Church's method of absorbing nobles, he is sure that the Rose Church has been absorbing various useful methods.

According to his survey, there are more female followers of the Rose Church in Cartesia than in other countries.

As for the Western Land, although the Rose Church has fewer believers than the Eastern Land, the proportion of female believers is higher than that of the Eastern Land.

Why did Gore care about these things?

Because, there has always been a situation——

Whichever church has more believers, that church will have more Extraordinary people.

This situation is the reason why he always pays attention to the situation of believers in various churches.
