"You are the king, and your son will become the king. In the foreseeable future, Targaryen will become the representative of the royal power.
And an overly powerful church will definitely clash with the royal power, "Marvin warned.
"You said it yourself. The Great Sparrow doesn't count the living," Danny said with a faint smile.
"The Great Sparrow saves the commoners. It draws the blood of the nobles to feed the commoners of the Seven Kingdoms, but Targaryen represents the nobles! "Marvin stomped his foot.
Danny was momentarily dazed.
"Doctor, do you know the reason why the entire world formed an alliance to besiege Slave Bay?" she asked softly.
"Because you want to abolish slavery in the entire world." Marvin was deep in thought, and the urgency on his face gradually disappeared.
"Why do I have to go against the entire world?" Danny asked again.
"Why?" Jero Dane, who had been silent all this while, asked.
Danny glanced at him and sighed. "Because my original wish was to build a world without oppression, without slavery, where hard work can earn wealth and dignity …"
She suddenly smiled strangely. "The City of Knowledge wants to build a real world, and I want to build a normal world."
— I think you're abnormal!
Dark Star complained in his heart.
"Look, look." Danny pointed at Jero's twisted expression and smiled. "He must be thinking that I'm abnormal."
"No, no!" Jero blushed and quickly denied it.
"If you think I'm abnormal, it proves that this world is abnormal," Danny said.
"Uh …" Dark Star's face began to twist again.
Looking around at the confused, confused, or enlightened gazes, Danny continued, "Jero represents the nobles, Doctor Marvin represents the scholars, and all of you represent the upper middle class of this world.
But all of you think that the commoners are oppressed by the nobles like pigs and dogs, and that it's natural and right. "
"Isn't such a world abnormal?"
"If the nobles don't have privileges, what kind of nobles are they?" Jero could not help but retort.
Danny smiled helplessly and said, "That's why I kept the nobles' system and did not raise the red flag in this world."
"What kind of flag is the red flag?" Dark Star asked in confusion.
— — A flag specifically designed to take your life.
Glancing at him indifferently, she continued, "It is impossible to build a world that is completely equal and free of oppression, but it is possible to effectively restrain the power of the nobles and provide institutional protection to the common people under the premise that it conforms to the actual situation of this world."
Establishing the World Empire was just to satisfy her selfish desires. Her original intention was to make the world better because of her arrival.
Even though he didn't have a mission, he didn't forget his original intention.
Under the premise of having the ability to change the world, it would be too low for a transmigrator to only indulge in personal desires.
"Your Majesty, your thoughts may not be very extraordinary, but they are very noble."
Scholar Pylos' somewhat rigid face was filled with respect at this moment.
'Is that a compliment?'
Dragon Queen was stupefied. "You don't understand now, but twenty years later, when you look at this world again, perhaps you will understand what I'm saying today."
"I don't need twenty years. I can understand it now, but I don't understand why you didn't choose to restrict the power of the nobles through the laws of the kingdom, but chose the church instead," Marvin said.
"You really understand?" Danny asked curiously.
"Yes, in fact, there were similar thoughts in the City of Knowledge in the early years, but they were suppressed by more scholars and professors as they were afraid of such thoughts."
"Scholars know fear? They even dared to mess with the real world, even daring to plot against me, "Danny said doubtfully.
"Sigh, the nobles have knives!"
"I even have dragons!"
"It's not the same." Marvin shook his head. "The City of Knowledge has never directly confronted the Megalosaurus, but to restrict the power of the nobles, we have to be serious about it."
"Sigh!"
Danny shook her head and raised her index and middle fingers. "Let's continue with the original question. Second question, between the kingdom's government and the church's system, which is more honest, efficient, fair, and just?"
Marvin frowned. "Your Majesty, the Great Sparrow is the same as Saint Bailey, a once in a millennium oddity. Under normal circumstances, the archbishop of the church is inferior to the officials of the Seven Kingdoms.
Even if the officials are inefficient and bend the law for personal gain, at least they are still working to maintain the kingdom's normal operations.
But the archbishop …
They are greedy, extravagant, and indulge in pleasure, and … they are frequent visitors to the King's Landing Academy, and even lay their hands on the young monks in the cloister, and … sigh, they do not do good deeds, but they are full of evil! "
"It's different now." Danny shook her head.
The church and the kingdom could be seen as a company, and the kingdom's management was decided by the ruler.
But it was hard to find a good ruler, not to mention every generation of kings with great talent and strategy.
.....
If the church did not have a god behind it, like the Seven Gods Church, its CEO would be the same as the kingdom, still a mortal, and its revenue would be completely decided by the management.
But the kingdom was a family business with unlimited responsibility, while the church was an irresponsible state-owned enterprise. Without a doubt, the family business had more core competitiveness.
.....
If the church had a powerful and intelligent god, it would be impossible for the god to manage the grassroots, but for the archbishop and archbishop of the leadership, the god could easily choose the best talents — the believers who were most compatible with his teachings.
The god needed faith, and would not be tempted and corrupted by the power and money of mortals. At the very least, they could ensure that their church was fair and clean.
In this way, the church's competitiveness would be far higher than the kingdom's.
Even if Danny did not make any adjustments, and even suppressed the church's power for the sake of the royal power, the Seven Gods Church, which was managed by Dahei, would not be filled with incompetent people, and would inevitably prosper and flourish.
Sooner or later, the Seven Gods Church would be able to suppress the royal power.
This would be more fatal to the royal power, and it would not necessarily be beneficial to the church, because the purpose of the church's existence was to serve the god, and the god did not need the royal power.
In other words, secular power was only to facilitate the spread of faith.
If the current political system could ensure the smooth spread of faith, the church would not need any political power, and could completely not interfere with the royal power.
Did you notice?
The church and the kingdom seemed to be competing for the royal power, but they did not have any fundamental contradiction, they were just one selling flour, and the other selling lime.
As the saying goes, the one who sells flour can't stand the one who sells lime — this was the limit of the common people's vision.
If one reached Danny's level, one could see the difference between the two at a glance, and even …
She was the owner of both shops!
The kingdom was inherited by her blood descendants, and the church was inherited by her eldest son, Dahei.
Since the two companies had no fundamental conflict, it was better to unite.
.....
The combination of enterprises that produced similar products was called a cartel.
If there was no church, and only a feudal kingdom was established, the world would be divided into countless small kingdoms, and Danny's son would be the king, and this would form a cartel-style "Targaryen Kingdom Company".
In fact, a cartel was the lowest and most primitive form of monopoly.
Above a cartel, there was the second-level syndicate, the third-level trust, and even the highest-level Conzeun (in terms of the economic development of the world, Conzeun was the highest form of monopoly)!
What was Conzeun?
The shops that sold flour were all under one company, called a cartel.
The ones that controlled all the flour and wheat shops were called a syndicate.
The ones that controlled the planting of wheat, the processing of bread, and even the shops that sold bread, a series of industries related to the production of flour was called a trust.
A trust for flour.
Similarly, from lime mining, lime processing, sales, and even construction, real estate, and even property companies, they were all controlled by one company, and could be called a "lime trust".
Flour and lime did not have any industrial connection, but they had one thing in common — they were daily necessities for ordinary people.
On this common point, a core company began to extend its tentacles into "small trust" companies in different fields like an octopus. A complete trust was too reactionary and was not conducive to productivity improvement, so it would be boycotted by any country.
This was a "fourth-grade monopoly technique". Once used, it was easy to massacre a city and destroy a country.
Yes, Korea's Sour Star was the Conzeun model.
So, now everyone understood Danny's choice, right?
99.99% of the transmigrators in the world would overthrow the church and then establish a world empire.
But in the end, they were just creating a low-level cartel.
With the opportunity to establish the Conzeun Group, Danny naturally would not choose a cartel.
As the helmsman of the Long Group, the first thing she had to do was to adjust the business of the two subsidiary companies under her, and clearly standardize the budget allocation and profit points of each company. She had to separate the royal power from the church, and turn conflict into harmony.
To be honest, Danny's Conzeun Group was more than a hundred times scarier than Li's Sour Star. The king's subsidiary company controlled most of the material resources — secular political power. The church's subsidiary company controlled spiritual civilization — faith and education. It almost completely deprived the "new child of destiny" of the opportunity to rise.
If Danny was more evil, the world of the Song of Ice and Fire would be shrouded in Targaryen's shadow for the next ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years. It would be like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
Fortunately, she did not forget her original intention and remembered her mission. She resolutely carried out the concept of a "normal world" of "fighting against evil nobles and improving the social survival rights of the people."
.....
Danny was still dreaming of the church in her left hand and the royal power in her right hand, holding up the world with both hands. Then, the Iron Throne moved again.
Big Sparrow's death left the position of archbishop vacant. An archbishop from the Starry Cathedral named John stood up and announced himself as the archbishop of the Southern Diocese. He also crowned Cersei as the official Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
Archbishop Matthew of the King's Landing Cathedral immediately stood up and publicly reprimanded the Starry Cathedral for their sinful act of dividing the church.
— Actually, after Big Sparrow came to power, the Starry Cathedral and the Cathedral of Baylor had already formed a substantial division.
Big Sparrow even mortgaged the church bank of the Starry Cathedral. How could the archbishops of the old town not be angry and jealous?
Moreover, the gods who developed faith must be fair and just.
Most of the Starry Cathedral were fallen, but it was not that there were no devout believers, such as Archbishop John.
He was a believer with more than 200 faith points. Theoretically, he could communicate with the Holy Mother. In fact, the Holy Mother rarely paid attention to these believers. Archbishop John could also use divine spells, so he was fully qualified to run for archbishop.
As for why John was bribed by the Iron Throne …
Devout belief did not mean that believers had no personal will.
Unless the Seven Gods sent an oracle, believers would have thoughts, desires, and choices.
That was why Pope Danny was needed to establish new rules.
As for Archbishop John, Danny was not in the mood to pay attention to him. Because there was a sudden news from the valley: Her nephew was gone.
Well, it was real this time.
