Genocide Online ~Playtime Diary of an Evil Young Girl~

255. Religious and industrial revolution

"... so, what exactly should we do with religious reform?

I will take a look at Ellen who has received a large amount of stomach medicine from one of my employees and explain it to him, thinking about making a special stomach medicine just for him this time with my "super medicine" skills.

"Well, to put it bluntly, I will change from polytheistic to monotheistic."

"... hah?

"It's not just the territory that's gaining control, but the people who live there... and so are their ethnicity and race."

Especially since the northern part of the continent where there is a "Mephie Commercial Nation" is different from the language, it is obvious that there is a "City of Beginnings" here, and the western part of the continent is inhabited by different nationalities and races from the roots.

No, people with different skin have already been disturbed by the western part of the continent.

Alexei, the first important NPC I killed, had a light sunburn, but her white skin had blonde eyes.

However, the old Rong and his son Ronowe, who killed each other with pleasure, appeared to have light brown skin, and we also deal with the same language, but the original roots are different ethnic groups.

Well, it seems that the ancestors worshipped the sea gods who are said to be in the inland sea, so Ronovers are indigenous, and the forces belonging to Alexei and other "former Elmann kingdoms" came from the center and south of the continent....

Ronowe and the others were slaves when we first met, and they probably weren't that far off.

"Even the language you manipulate and the culture you're accustomed to are fragmented, but even the gods you worship break the country apart if they're different."

"... well, that's right."

Now that the foreign war is continuing, the discriminatory eyes hidden behind it are turned to the outside, but eventually the same people will beat each other.

Split rule over newly acquired territories and colonies is different from the division of mainland citizens.

Split rule is just a process of domination, so we won't be doing it forever.

"What do you think religion needs most?

"... prayer?

"No, it's a world interest called community. Only the clergy can polarize the path of faith, which is less important to the general public."

St. Augustine, who lived in the fourth century, also complained that "few people come to church in search of faith" and that people only want to interact with each other in the community and do not want to deepen their faith.

That's what religions have been like for thousands of years… The rapid growth and prevalence of emerging religions in Japan during its first period of high economic growth was probably due to the fact that they served as a new community for people flowing from the provinces to the cities.

I think there is one answer if you interpret and think about what the people want from religion.

"We need a single god that accepts everything as a means of multiethnic governance."

"... hmm"

In Japan, which is almost a homogenous nation, many people may not come much, but even the appearance of skin and hair color, the culture in which they grew up, the language they manipulated, and the roots of even the same nation can be a "collateral of companionship" in themselves.

But that's not the case with other peoples... if you don't know at all whether the people who are in front of you now look and say different things are friends or not, you can't trust them.

Beliefs in the same religion give rise to the guarantee that they are compatriots who operate on the same values and standards.

Multiple gods must not be polytheistic as a value criterion to believe in.

Because unlike Japan, which is a companion because it has the same ethnicity in different ways, it is a companion because it is a different ethnicity but the same way of thinking.

... well, Japan is not a complete mono-ethnic state either... In addition to the Yamato people, there are many Koreans, Han people, and so on, headed by the Ryukyu people.

"We want to ensure that the presence in front of us is not an enemy, and we want to warmly welcome any presence and form a community where local residents come together."

"... the point is, do you really want to sell a fight to the Central Temple?

"Yes, because I would say that the gods they believe in were originally one pillar, the Almighty, the Absolute."

"If you take one wrong step, the nations of the world will invade."

Well, are you going to come up with a one-sided breakdown or something?

Ellen is right, if you make a mistake, something like the Crusades will be organized.

"Yes, so we sell it as a new sect."

"... hah?

"It's like a mountain of dissatisfaction and suspicion about the current central temple, isn't it? I'm going to blow them all up, and hopefully they'll break in half like Catholics and Protestants."

"Katoriku? Plumpy?"

"It's about this world."

Even though they are corrupt, they create new sects while denouncing for various reasons what the true path of faith is.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to use a Luther as an example... not all events on Earth fit together, so we'll need to improve it to match this gaming world.

"Well, it was relatively calm like that," Yamada-san, who believed in different gods among the people, was actually a compatriot! Let's do it. "

"... calm?

"It's more peaceful to take over what we have now than to create a whole new religion and convert it into a group."

"Ah, that's right...."

When it comes to religion, let's try fishing for the house materials again, and then switch the conversation after including Ellen's tea in your mouth.

"Next is about the industrial revolution."

"Ah, it was still there....."

First hand over the loom blueprints to Ellen, who is already tired.

"What is this?

"It's called a loom. Let's start with introducing it."

Tell Ellen that it is relatively easy to create while explaining the advantages and problems of introducing it in detail.

As he listened to me, he leaned his neck towards his face, wrinkling between his eyebrows, and kept talking.

"Well, I know the production speed is going to increase dramatically... but what's the point of equipment that has almost no defense without any enthusiasts?

"Isn't that what you're talking about? Most of the public can hide their bodies, and the market is bigger there."

I'm sure it is.

But, well, this was a game world… you should see that the value of clothes without enchant or defense is a little lower than expected.

I wish we could find a technique that gives you more than a certain amount of granting effect in the process of mass production... Well, let's throw it at Yu, the verification team.

In the meantime, we aim to move to a consumer economy with mass production.

"Then beat them with overwhelming productivity and destroy other countries' textile industries."

"... ahh, I'm scared."

"We buy raw materials cheaply and in large quantities and sell finished products to other countries… while teaching the monotheistic religions we talked about earlier in the process to colonize."

"... he's really not stopping."

─ ─ When the white men came to Africa, we had the land, and they had the Bible. They taught us to pray with their eyes closed. When we opened our eyes, they had the land, and we had only the Bible.

The words of Jomo Kenyatta, leader of Kenya's independence movement and first president.

Living in the real world, I have knowledge of the history of the earth that is not available to the residents (NPC) living in this gaming world, so let's use it effectively.

... did you really call this a knowledge cheat or an internal affairs cheat? I think Yu and Maria said something like that.

"We set up a bank, we set it up, we revolutionized the industry, we destroyed the industries of other countries with its overwhelming productivity, we relied on the products we made, and we proceeded with the acquisition of land by missionaries and private chambers of commerce."

"... the devil?

"The land we acquired in other countries will only be used for raw materials production and mining… and it will be an exclusive market for us to buy our products, which have been produced so much."

"... the devil?

"If another country that is dissatisfied with this unjustly raises the tax rate against our chambers of commerce or tries to seize land, we will attack the" protection of our own citizens "in the name of the cause and conclude a genuine unjust treaty."

"... the devil."

Perhaps Elle will do something similar… gradually stretching the sphere of influence from the northern and southern edges of the western continent to each other, and when the borders of his own country and country collide, it is the beginning of the all-out battle.

Until then, is it the first preparation period?

"If we discuss in detail what will happen with the industrial revolution and how to deal with the unemployed in Japan later, it will look like this."

It is very interesting to me that games begin in the western part of the continent, just as the industrial revolution and colonial race started in the western part of Europe.

In closing, Ellen feels terribly weak and leaves her body on the back of the sofa to say just one word.

─ ─ Bring the stomach medicine.

"Hee, hee!

... after all, shouldn't I make you my special stomach medicine?
