Happy Tycoon

This priest, who was almost 70 years old, was named Fernandez Moreno. After seeing Yang Jing and Grid walk into the church arm in hand, he first introduced the church to the two enthusiastically. Walk to another room outside the church.

What surprised Yang Jing and Grid was that this small church had a history of more than two hundred and fifty years, even older than the age of the city.

But think about the time when the Spanish invaded South America, the missionaries were at the beginning, and the soldiers were even slower than the missionaries.

This situation is very common in South American countries. The oldest buildings in many cities are mostly Catholic churches, and these cities even developed with Catholic churches as the center.

Ita's scale is not large, and as a satellite city of Asuncion, this city was most likely developed on the basis of this seemingly inconspicuous Catholic church.

Going out of the side door of the church, only more than ten meters away from the church is another house in the church. This kind of house is mostly prepared for priests and other church staff. It is usually a place for priests to rest. Of course, some items that cannot be placed in the church are also stored.

The floor space of this house is not small, only slightly smaller than the church. Father Moreno took out a bunch of keys, opened the hidden lock on the door, and took Yang Jing and the couple into the house.

The house is neat and tidy. Rows of shelves are filled with various objects, including crosses, imitation chalices, bibles, porcelain, metal products, etc. There are many types.

"These things are donated to the church spontaneously by the local churchmen. This is the heart of their worship of God. The church will preserve these items well. The oldest of these items can even be traced back to the middle of the eighteenth century. That is when the church was just established. Look at this vase from Huaxia, which was donated by a Spanish general in Paraguay at that time. At that time, Ita was just a place not much bigger than the village."

"Look at this silver cross. This was donated to the church by Francia, the great dictator after Paraguay's independence. There is also this silver statue of the Virgin, which was the first president of Paraguay, Carlos Antonio. Lopez donated to the church; and this..."

With Father Moreno's slightly proud tone, Yang Jing seemed to have walked into a museum.

These things are not very valuable, but the sum of these things happens to be able to compose a history of Ita, and even the history of Paraguay as a whole, which can be clearly seen in these donated items.

These things that can be placed on the front shelf and occupy a separate floor are obviously donated by celebrities in Paraguay's history. The farther you go, the more things on the shelf. When you reach the next few shelves, the shelves are simply all kinds of boxes. Needless to say, the boxes are filled with donated items, but most of them are donators. Just ordinary people.

Father Moreno took out his reading glasses and put them on. He searched for the second-to-last shelf for a while. Then he pointed to a wooden box on the bottom of the shelf and said: "This is what Mr. Schroeder donated back then. It's just us. There is limited space here, and many donated items can only be put in boxes."

Yang Jing smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and then stepped forward with a little force and pulled the slightly heavy box out of the shelf.

After opening the box on a table, Yang Jing saw what was in it.

There are many things, but most of them are small pieces, such as silver crosses, statues of the Virgin, statues of God, and some other silver products. Of course, there are also several books that look very old, most of which are the Bible.

Most of these things are silver, and if they were placed half a century ago, the value would be fine. Of course, Martin Bowman was able to donate these things back then, and he must have donated a lot of checks or cash.

Because the church is a non-profit organization, all operations, water, electricity and coal, house repairs, including the living expenses of the clergy, rely on the donations of the faithful. In addition to donating some items, the faithful also donate money. That is the key to the sustainability of a church.

This church can be favored by so many celebrities, and there are so many celebrities who donate items, and I must have received a lot of donations. The reason why Martin Bowman’s donations can stay here is that he also donated a lot of money at the beginning, otherwise the things he donated might have been sold by the church for money.

"Can I see these things?" Yang Jing asked Father Moreno.

Father Moreno nodded, "Yes, but you have to pay attention, these things are more than half a century old, and we have few people here and don't have the energy to maintain the items donated by the faithful."

Yang Jing nodded. Of course he heard another meaning in the priest's words-take a good look. If you think it works, you can take these things back. We have few people and places, so we can’t let it go. So many things. Of course, you'd better take a little storage fee and the like, as it is to worship God...

This kind of thing is very common in churches abroad. Many faithful donated some items to the church long ago, but some of these items may be of commemorative significance to their descendants, so the descendants of these faithful will spend money. Money "redeemed" these things...

Yang Jing carefully took out these items one by one, and looked at them carefully for about ten minutes, and finally took all these items back into the box.

"Father Moreno, I think these items left by Mr. Schroeder are very commemorative to my family, so I want to take them home. Of course, in order to show the church's long-term preservation of these items, I will donate Give the church fifty thousand dollars. What do you think?"

Hearing Yang Jing’s words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Father Moreno’s face showed a happy smile, "God will bless you!"

This is promised.

In fact, although most of these things are silver products, and they have been around for more than half a century, the total value is estimated to be more than 10,000 US dollars. Yang Jing "buy" them with 50,000 US dollars. It is absolutely impossible not to agree.

After Yang Jing was carrying the big box and being sent out of the church by Father Moreno, Grid asked in a low voice: "Yang Jing, are there clues in these things?"

"It's still unclear, but there is a notebook left by Martin Bowman that year. Maybe you can find some clues in this notebook, but it will take time."

"Then I will help you find it after I go back! I know Spanish..."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "But Martin Bowman is a German..."

Gorgeous.
