Hank left the temple in embarrassment, everyone knew that the divine punishment had taken effect, and then Liang Lidong was surprised to find that the system reminded him that more than a dozen super believers were born, and then he got 4 temple contribution points, and Piety increased by 2. ⊙
A purely soft policy is not a panacea, and an appropriate display of force will also win respect and recognition. Liang Lidong closed the management interface of the temple. He looked at the children below who hadn't fully recovered from their astonishment, and the dozen or so adults sitting at the back who looked a little at a loss, and said, "Next, I will teach you the specialties of combat. ... In terms of weapons, I only know swordsmanship. In terms of magic, my theoretical knowledge is not bad. You have to consider which path you want to take. Of course, if you have confidence in yourself, you can learn magic and swordsmanship together, but in the end According to my observations during this time, there are no such talents among you, or there are, but I haven’t found it.”
These words are suspected of being demeaning, but no one in the room felt that there was anything wrong. The children here are all students of Liang Lidong. After getting along for more than half a year, they admire their teachers very much. Even if Liang Lidong called them idiots, They wouldn't have any complaints, not to mention that this was just a kind pointing, that is, the tone was direct and not tactful, but there was no malice.
"It usually takes a long time to practice combat expertise. If the family conditions do not allow it, and if you have no patience, I suggest not to become a professional." Liang Lidong stood behind the stone table and slowly swept over it with stern eyes. The children below: "In addition, professionals are easily involved in inexplicable battles. People who are timid or don't like fighting are not recommended to become professionals."
Although the children did not dare to make eye contact with Liang Lidong's serious eyes and lowered their heads one by one, none of them left.
"Okay, since you all have confidence in yourself, let's all learn it first." Liang Lidong sighed, and then said in harmony: "Kyle and Belin, I will leave the children to you, teach them well , and if any of them has almost practiced, bring them over to see me."
it is good!
Understood!
The boys and girls responded almost at the same time. Liang Lidong looked at the people below, and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today's evangelism. Before disbanding, I have to convey two meanings to you here. First, the church in our Wojin Temple can be left alone. Everyone is here to rest and pray, whether you are a nobleman, a commoner, or even a beggar, because all living beings are equal before God. Our only request is that you must keep quiet."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised, especially the adults in the back. They all knew that other temples would not allow civilians to come in and out.
"The second point is that our Wojin Temple can use divine magic to heal everyone's pain and disease. Of course, this has to be paid. According to the severity of the disease, it is divided into four grades. The most basic minor injury and disease only need five Copper coins, the most troublesome serious illnesses cost three gold coins, of course, I believe that under the protection of the goddess, ordinary civilians will never suffer from serious illnesses, at most minor injuries and pains."
Liang Lidong looked at the stunned people below, and smiled slightly, not knowing how many people understood what he said. Because it will be exchanged for divine spells soon, he intends to exchange for exorcism... So Liang Lidong intends to use the temple as a medical point to provide services for the nearby people, so that he can quickly accumulate the power of faith and expand the group of believers.
Exorcism is a very practical magic. At first glance, exorcism seems to be an auxiliary magic, but in fact, in this magical world, it plays a very important role, not to mention that as long as it is a living thing, it is possible to get disease, then this magic will be able to play a role. Another reason is that a lot of magic can cause quite bad diseases, such as plagues, etc... Most of the physiological phenomena of diseases, or magical phenomena, can be relieved by exorcism, no matter when , Exorcism is an excellent divine art, and it is also one of the most common divine arts.
In addition, Liang Lidong can also use magic scrolls to achieve problems that cannot be solved by exorcism. Magic can indeed be regarded as a kind of 'destruction', but at the same time it is also a kind of 'creation', and it can also be regarded as a kind of 'processing'. It depends on how the magic user views their abilities.
From now on, the temple will charge for ordinary people, no matter how serious the illness or how exaggerated the injury is, they will be treated as "minor injuries and minor pains". Aristocrats make money easily, but they are afraid of death. As long as they catch one, they will try their best to 'pit them', and use the money they got from the aristocrats to ordinary people.
Speaking of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor', Liang Lidong remembered that he still had things to deal with, and after announcing the disbandment with his students, he went to the village chief's house in Reed alone. The old village head was sitting in front of the door basking in the sun, and when he saw Liang Lidong, he was a little surprised: "Oh, Your Excellency Beta is not in charge of affairs in the temple, but you actually come to visit me, the old man, what a rare visitor."
There was a trace of displeasure in the old village chief's tone, presumably he was 'earned' by the temple to take away a hundred gold coins, accumulated over several generations, so he felt a little awkward. Liang Lidong can understand the old man's obsession with money, after all, it is the capital of his life.
"Don't be so 'polite'." Liang Lidong smiled, with a smile on his face: "This time, I just want to ask you to send the gold coins I have stored in your home to the temple. In addition, there are I want to do something, but this thing needs your nod."
The old village chief sat up straight: "Oh, please tell me if you have anything to say."
"I'm going to tidy up Reed." Liang Lidong took out a few pieces of parchment from the space backpack: "This is the planning map I drew. I plan to pave all the roads in the village with stone slabs, and then draw a few In addition, dig a big pit in the mountain behind the village, build a sealed cesspool, and build a large latrine for men and women nearby. Now the village is full of feces and water. When it is cold There is nothing, after the hot weather, it is easy to breed germs and become the source of disease."
The old village head was not very interested in the parchment in Liang Lidong's hands. He said slowly: "Your Excellency Beta, it's time for spring plowing, and we don't have much spare energy to do such things. If we don't do farm work, we will enter There will be no rations to eat after autumn."
"You don't need to worry about this matter, the temple will pay for it." Liang Lidong put away the drawings and said word by word: "I only need young and strong laborers, up to twenty people. Each laborer can get seven copper coins for a day's work. If they can complete the work I assigned within five months, then each will be rewarded with an additional five silver coins. Goddess Volgin never takes advantage of others, she is the god of commerce, and only reciprocal benefits, this is a compliment to the temple , and things that are beneficial to the villagers."
The old village chief sighed: "We have lived here for hundreds of years for generations. The village has always been like this, and it has never changed. Your Excellency Beta, if I disagree, what will you do?"
Liang Lidong just smiled and didn't speak.
"It seems that I have to agree." The old man said lonely, looking up at the sky, looking very intently, as if there was a god he worshiped in the sky.
Seeing that the old man fell into his own world, Liang Lidong didn't bother, turned and walked away. Building a few stone paths for Reed Village is only the first step. He plans to slowly 'distribute' the 2,000 gold coins to the villagers through work. If the villagers have money, they will naturally come to the temple to receive blessings. Giving, even paying to heal the body.
Then Liang Lidong distributed the collected money to the villagers in various ways. In this way, a small circle of wealth circulation will be formed nearby, and the work released by the temple should be based on infrastructure as much as possible, such as building bridges, roads, and so on. As time goes by, the word-of-mouth of the temple will get better and better, and there will naturally be more and more believers.
Of course, this is just Liang Lidong's idea, and he can't guarantee whether it will be successful.
The next day, after hearing the report from the village chief, many young and middle-aged people came to the entrance of the temple to apply for jobs. For the villagers, seven copper coins a day, even if they didn't include food or shelter, were still worth it. After all, two kilograms of brown rice are only worth three copper coins, and the beta priests are worth seven copper coins each, which is already quite generous treatment.
The old village head watched from a distance, and all the young and strong people in the village went to the gate of the temple to wait for Beta's selection. He picked up a dead leaf on the ground, and now he is like this fallen leaf, no one cares about it, and no one notices it. Since Beta came to Reed Village, the village chief found that his appeal was not getting better day by day. Now the villagers only know Beta as a caster, and they respect him very much. Reed is the head of the village.
I'm old and washed out! The old village head threw away the dead leaves in his hands and walked home slowly.
