"Brother?" Louise looked at Eric puzzled.
"If Qi Jingchen can really cure you, and we have definite evidence, then we only need to put pressure on the Light God Cult in the name of the mother emperor. Will the Light God Cult not let him heal you?" Eric laughed He smiled, thinking of Louise's temper, and persuaded: "Louis, this is the site of the Light God Sect, that Qi Jingchen is still very important in the Light God Sect, you can stop offending him then."
Louise nodded aggrievedly, she was really frightened, and even if she was unwilling now, she would definitely not offend Qi Jingchen.
Seeing Louise like this, Eric touched her hair distressedly.
The paper mill has started to recruit workers in the west area. With the current situation in Yere, no matter how much paper is produced, it can be sold. Therefore, Qi Jingchen has opened the paper mill very large and needs a lot of workers.
Qi Jingchen promised that all men with labor can enter the paper factory to work. They are responsible for the construction of the paper factory at the beginning, and then they are responsible for producing paper or printing books. As for those women with labor, since the West District is basically eating a big pot of rice now. In this state, they need to be responsible for cooking, cleaning, and dealing with various chores. Basically, they can be assigned to work as long as they want.
At this time, the household registration in the Western District has also been completely completed, and every citizen in the Western District already has his own household registration.
Qi Jingchen found Old Norman and said with a smile, "It's time to start."
Old Norman nodded. On the same day, he asked the priest under him to pass on the news that in the future, the West District would not provide free food to the adult strong laborers.
The West End Church will continue to provide food to children and the elderly, but it will no longer provide food to the adult strong laborers, who, whether men or women, have to work to earn food.
Of course, when arranging work, they will consider the physical condition of these people, and when someone is sick or a woman has a child, they will get vacation.
"No, how can this be? Then we don't have a job, so what will we eat in the future?" Someone asked angrily.
"The paper mill still needs a lot of workers, so you don't have to worry about finding a job." Qi Jingchen said, in fact, there are too many workers under him, but he will continue to recruit workers, even if there are too many workers in the end , he may only allow some of the workers to farm the land - he has already bought a large piece of land in order to build a paper mill.
"I don't know any craftsmanship, and I haven't worked for a long time." The man said again, eating free food for too long, he was used to getting nothing for nothing.
"Our work doesn't require any skills from you." Qi Jingchen said coldly.
The lazy man finally dared not speak any more.
Old Norman just informed the people of the West District, and did not intend to discuss with them, and on the next day, he would no longer provide food to those adult men and women.
Seeing this, most of the people who have not yet worked chose to go to the place where they were recruited to find a job for themselves, but there were also some people who stubbornly decided to fight to the end.
These people are basically men, and many of them came from other parts of the Holy City to the West District. Before, some of them lost all their family property because of gambling, and some did not work. At first, they depended on their parents for support, and their parents died. After that, I didn't want to work, so I just went to the West District...
They are used to doing nothing, and are not willing to work at all, and they are even convinced that the people of the Light God Cult will not watch them starve to death, but they are unwilling to work.
However, how can an adult with a foot in his right hand actually starve to death? Just know that as long as you sign up at the confession place, they'll get a loaf of bread right away! The Light God Sect really looked on from the sidelines towards these people!
After discovering this, some of them went to work, and then they found that they couldn't be lazy while working, and if they were lazy, they could only get a little bit of food.
Some of them try to snatch other people's food, relying on their physical advantages to let others give them food, but...
Qi Jingchen had already organized several security teams to maintain order in the Western District. The members of these security teams were still staring at those who were not working. When they saw them doing something bad, they immediately caught them and then whipped them.
The people in the Western District are not all good. On the contrary, many of them have various bad habits. Qi Jingchen doesn't expect these people to change at once, but he will try his best to make it better.
The situation in the Western District has indeed improved a little bit. Occasionally, if someone commits a crime, they will be dragged out and whipped, and then locked up and starved for a few days, and gradually no one dares to commit any crime.
Qi Jingchen is very satisfied with this situation, and what makes him even more satisfied is that the construction of the paper factory is almost done - the people in the western area who have experience in building the western area are really fast in building the factory.
This day was the day when the factory building was completely built. Qi Jingchen came here, and before he got close, he saw neat trees and large fields near the factory building, as well as the road that had just been paved, which made the place look very beautiful.
They have too many workers, so Qi Jingchen asked the extra workers to plant the land, build the road from the factory to the holy city, and clean up the river... In short, he just didn't let these people go empty.
It is because of this that the factory is so beautifully built.
Today, the factory workers went to clean up the river, and they caught a lot of fish. The kitchen cleaned up the fish and made them into lunch.
All the small fish and prawns were deep-fried, and the larger ones were all steamed.
This is the opinion put forward by Qi Jingchen. Ordinary people in Yere like to cook all kinds of things together, and this is not suitable for making fish. He thinks that it is better to let those women play freely and make all those fish. Dark cooking, it is better to let them cook the fish in the easiest way.
There is a large canteen here in the paper mill. The ground floor is for ordinary people to eat. According to their work performance, they will be assigned to different cards at the top, middle and bottom, and then they can use these cards to go to the canteen to eat different meals. meals.
This is used in the excessive stage. After they have worked for a period of time, the factory will pay them wages. At that time, the canteen will provide the most basic food such as bread for free. If they want to eat well, they must use their wages to Buy those delicious food too.
Qi Jingchen sat on the second floor of the cafeteria, eating Nie Yi's food while watching the situation downstairs.
Those who work very hard are assigned to the cards with the words "上" written on them. There are not many such people. They enter the cafeteria with high spirits and choose their favorite meat dishes such as barbecue.
The vast majority of people were assigned the "medium" card, they didn't eat as well as those who were assigned the highest card, but they were well fed, and they could eat fish and drink broth.
The people with the worst performance can only be assigned to the card with the word "below" written on it, and with this card, they can only be assigned a black bread...
Qi Jingchen watched for a while, then smiled and turned back to eat his own meal.
On Earth, it’s not easy for him to eat fish or shrimp, but here, if he eats such a thing, others will make a fuss about it—how can the honorable priest eat such ordinary food
Nie Yi was impatient to eat things with shells, such as shrimps. He used chopsticks to put one in his mouth, and he could only spit out the head of a shrimp, and then chewed and chewed it all into his stomach with his tail attached to the shell.
Seeing this, Qi Jingchen peeled a few shrimps and put them in Nie Yi's bowl.
Nie Yi finished the shrimp and his own meal with lightning speed, and then started... Peeling the shrimp for Qi Jingchen.
"I can't eat a few, you can eat it yourself!" Qi Jingchen was a little speechless, but he couldn't deny that he felt sweet in his heart because of Nie Yi's behavior.
After eating at the paper mill, the two decided to go to Chenguang Restaurant to have a look.
There was someone in the West District who would drive a carriage, and now that person has become Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen's coachman. They just need to stay in the carriage. Although it is impossible to do anything in the car, they can still have mental energy and hold hands.
The carriage slowly moved forward, and after driving for a while, Qi Jingchen's brows suddenly wrinkled: "It smells of blood!"
Yes, the smell of blood came from the front, and it was not from animal blood, but from human blood. They also heard some painful moans.
Qi Jingchen swept over with mental power, and then his expression changed: "Stop."
The carriage stopped, Qi Jingchen got off the carriage, and then saw a blood-covered child on the side of the road.
This child is not particularly young, he is estimated to be seven or eight years old, but his current condition is really bad. There are all kinds of wounds all over his body, not to mention, blood is still coming out of his mouth, and it can be seen that, He was very, very painful.
Qi Jingchen rescued Qi An because Qi An was a child, and now, the one who fell in front of him is also a child.
When the magic of light was used, the face of the child in front of Qi Jingchen suddenly changed, and the whole person passed out. At this time, Qi Jingchen had time to check the wound on the other side.
This child has a lot of whip wounds, and now it is getting better under the influence of light magic, and those relatively shallow wounds are completely invisible.
But even so, his situation gave people a shocking feeling, especially, Qi Jingchen found out that this child has no tongue.
His tongue was not originally missing, but was cut off.
"This child is a three-line magician." Nie Yi came over and gave this conclusion only after looking at the child.
"What did Louise do?" Qi Jingchen thought of that woman almost immediately.
"It should be." Nie Yi said, with disgust in his eyes, that woman Louise turned out to be a lunatic. In order to test them, she even tossed a child like this!
"They should want to know how to make the repulsion of the magic core smaller, and now... I found that my magic power has such an effect." Qi Jingchen said.
The magic around this child was a bit messy before, but after he used his light magic, the child's situation improved...
"Throw him?" Nie Yi suggested, as long as he thought that Qi Jingchen was going to treat Louise, he felt depressed.
"Forget it, Louise will try it like this. Most of them have already found that my magic power is different from others. It's pointless to cover up now." Qi Jingchen said, then looked at Nie Yi: "Let's take this child back."
Nie Yi nodded, picked up the child immediately, and gave him a bath with water magic.
Although Qi Jingchen decided to take the child back, he had no plans to take the child to Chenguang Restaurant or Central College. He simply went to the West District and handed the child over to Old Norman.
"This child..." Old Norman had a very thorough understanding of light magic. When he saw this child, he knew that this child should have just been healed by light magic. He couldn't help feeling a little distressed for this child.
"His tongue was also cut..." Qi Jingchen said, "Please take care of Mr. Norman. When he wakes up, if he is in good condition, he can go to class to learn Chinese characters."
"I will." Old Norman said, and then paused: "But this child has three elements of magic, so I'm afraid he won't live long?"
"It's not necessarily." Qi Jingchen said, attaching his hand to the child's head, and then some light magic power entered the child's head through his hand.
There was a comfortable expression on the child's face, and the three magic nuclei in his mind became more and more stable.
"Your magic power..." Old Norman looked at Qi Jingchen in surprise.
"Because I have this." Qi Jingchen said, and then took out the Mirror of Light to show Old Norman. If the special feature of his magic power is discovered, he must find something that can take the blame for him, the Mirror of Light. Absolutely the best.
The flesh and blood of the Holy Body of Light are all elixir, and it is very dangerous to expose it. The fact that he has the Mirror of Light is exposed, but it is not a big deal. The Mirror of Light must belong to the God of Light, and only people of the God of Light can use it. , other people will never take action to snatch it, as for the people of the Light God Cult may deal with him... Those elders have long known about him.
Old Norman felt the rich energy contained in this very ordinary-looking stone almost immediately. He was a little puzzled at first, and then he lost his temper: "Mirror of Light?"
"Yes." Qi Jingchen said.
"No wonder..." After old Norman learned about this, everything could be understood.
It turns out that Qi Jingchen owns the Mirror of Light. No wonder the Sixth Elder will be the dean of the Holy Light Branch, and the Holy Son Lancelot is so friendly to him.
This child was handed over to Old Norman by Qi Jingchen, but he also paid attention to this child.
He was terrified when he first woke up, terrified of everything around him, but old Norman was very nice to him, telling him over and over that it was safe now, and he relaxed.
Old Norman began to teach him to read and took him to class - this child has no tongue, and the light magic of severed limb regeneration can only be performed by saint-level powerhouses, so at this stage, he wants to communicate with people without a tongue , you can only learn to recognize words quickly, and then learn more words.
It's just that he was very afraid of leaving Old Norman, so although he did not reject literacy, he was unwilling to go to class. Old Norman thought about it and did not force him, so he let him live in the church.
Those priests are somewhat superior when they treat ordinary people, but this child is a magician, and he is really pitiful. They are very friendly to this child.
After experiencing extreme pain, life in the West End couldn't have been better for this child, and within a few days, his face turned rosy.
"The child was raised in the West End Church, and the magic core has always been stable." Eric told Louise about the child's situation, and then said, "Tomorrow, my brother will help you find Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen for an explanation, If they are stubborn, we will go to the Light God Cult."
"Brother, thank you!" Louise said excitedly and happily.
"No thanks, you are my dearest sister." Eric stroked Louise's hair.
Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen had long guessed that the child was related to Louise, and when someone told them that Prince Eric of the Rose Empire was visiting, they were even more sure of it.
Qi Jingchen actually doesn't care about many things. If Louise behaves better, even if she likes Nie Yi, he doesn't mind helping her solve the problem of the magic core. However, not only did Louise target them several times for no reason at the beginning. , and treat a child that way.
For such a person, he does not want to save the other party at all.
"Hello." Eric came in from outside and said to Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen. He was a handsome, handsome man with a very gentle appearance.
"Hello." Qi Jingchen said lightly.
Eric glanced at Qi Jingchen without saying much, and said directly: "The reason why I am here this time, I think you should already know, Qi Jingchen, you obviously have the ability to heal Louise, but you deceived our Rose Empire with lies. , is this looking down on us?"
Qi Jingchen looked at Eric and said directly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
