Chapter 16, The Inspiring Spy_1

With the implementation of the three-year plan, a plethora of messy issues was gradually accumulating on Hudson's desk.

The most notable of these was the issue of religion. The clergy's influence on the upper echelons of the kingdom had been cleaned out in the power struggle between the royal power and the divine power. However, its influence on the lower strata had not diminished at all.

This was not very noticeable when the population in these territories was small. After all, fanatics were in the minority and did not cause significant disturbance.

But now, the situation had changed. With the rapid increase in the population in these territories, the number of fanatics grew, and even penetrated into the grass-roots management team.

Hudson did not rush to take action. The issue of religion was never something that could be solved overnight. The lower classes, struggling at the line of death, could not live without faith.
