Chapter 62: Crescent Village
But you can't develop it in one day, you can't do it, just spend a few more days, and Bai Ling is not in a hurry.
Bai Ling began to look for the places on the note one by one, and crossed out one after another when he went to a place, so that there would be no repetition and omission.
The first place is naturally the nearest Jiangnan area, but the Jiangnan area is very large, and several groups have come here to develop believers, and Bai Ling first went to the nearest small village.
As for why it is a small village, it is because the small village is not taken seriously, and no matter what the believers do, as long as no one informs them, then no one knows. Unlike in the town, in the city, if there is a slight disturbance, then the whole city will be known. Blatantly recruiting so many people like this, if you want to avoid trouble, then it's better to keep a low profile.
Although the strength of believers is not afraid of these troubles, it will still slow down the speed of recruiting believers, and it will not be good if it spoils the master's major affairs. Because of this consideration, most believers choose to recruit believers in the countryside, and in fact, this also has an advantage, that is, there are many poor people in the countryside, so it is naturally better to develop believers.
Of course, there are also believers who have been sent out earlier and have gained a firm foothold in the local area, so these people do not have to go to the countryside to develop, but to develop in the city, because there are people above, who are low-key and are not afraid of trouble.
Bai Ling came to Crescent Village, which is known as Crescent Village because of a crescent-like river. There are a lot of people in the village, originally this village is very poor, there are many people, but every family can't have enough to eat, since the believers of Bai Ling came, everything has changed.
The believers not only brought food, but also money, and even declared that as long as they believed in their masters, they would be able to read and write, teach martial arts, and their families would also receive a sum of silver.
The people in the village were simply boiling when they heard the news, and such a good thing fell on them, it was like green smoke from the ancestral tomb. Although they believe in their master, they will have to do things for their master from now on, but with the ability, there is still a moon of silver every month, which is better than digging in the soil and not having enough to eat.
What's more, they recruit men and women, and after entering, they will issue a sum of silver taels, such a good thing, who will let it go, not to mention these hard-working peasants, even the people in the city who can get by will be tempted.
Because of this, the recruitment of believers was very smooth, not only in the village, but also because there were relatives between the villages, so the people from the surrounding villages were all tempted, and hundreds of people surrounded the few people who recruited believers.
However, believers are not recruited casually, first of all, they must be innocent, everyone meets this condition, no one will come to pretend to be poor people, and the people in ten miles and eight villages basically know each other, and it is really not easy to pretend.
The second is the age limit, the youngest is seven years old, and the oldest is forty years old. In ancient times, the living conditions were not good, and forty years old was considered very old, but the organization also needed a group of people of different ages, otherwise it would definitely only admit children.
Of course, this is also instructed by Bai Ling, after all, regardless of age, after developing into a believer, he can bring faith points to Bai Ling, so Bai Ling is not picky, if he only recruits children, then there will be many less faith points. Besides, older people have more experience and experience, and some things are more reliable than children.
The third point is the most important point, that is, to be able to believe in Bai Ling, although this decision is not exact, but it can be obtained from the phone exchange. After all, what they want to recruit are believers, and if they don't believe in Bai Ling, wouldn't it be a waste of resources to recruit them?
So many people, the three people who came to recruit believers, took a whole day to register all the qualified people, and then asked everyone to gather the next day.
Recruiting believers is only the first step, but it is also necessary to educate believers, teach them to be literate, reasonable, and revere the white spirit. This step is very important, otherwise when Bai Ling comes, he will have to mobilize believers and develop believers by himself, which does not mean that these subordinates are very useless.
Therefore, every day after the admitters are recruited, these future believers are brought together, first to establish their faith in the larks, and then to learn knowledge. As for martial arts, let's wait until the master develops them into new believers.
After all, at that time, it was twice the result with half the effort, and teaching now is simply half the effort.
After recruiting people, several Bai Ling's subordinates did not miss the appointment, and gave each person a sum of silver, and now the organization is rich and rich, this money is nothing, and it can be used to buy people's hearts, and it can be regarded as a good use. After all, when Bai Ling leaves this world, it is impossible to take all the wealth here with him, so he uses it to develop believers, and he doesn't feel distressed at all.
It is also for this reason that the conditions are so good, otherwise in fact, as long as you are full of food and knowledge, you can make people crazy to join, and you don't have to spend so many silver taels. Of course, the effect of spending money is still significant, and it can be seen that 400 believers have been recruited in just one day from Crescent Village, presumably after the news spreads, people from nearby will come over one after another, and those who are watching will also come.
Of course, it's not just Crescent Village, there are now more than 1,000 places across the country where things like Crescent Village are happening, of course, some places have not been discovered, but there are many people, and some places are still noticed. However, because the people who noticed it didn't think it was a big deal, they didn't report it.
Those people thought that a great good man had come to help these poor people, after all, these people gathered, and they did not make trouble, nor did they rebel, they just read and read together, so no one came to make trouble. Of course, this also reduces a lot of trouble for the organization, after all, recruiting believers, the news will always get out, and if it does not attract the interference of the government, then Bai Ling's subordinates can teach believers wholeheartedly and recruit believers.
Because there is not such a big place in the Crescent Village that can accommodate believers to study together, everyone studies in the open air, and after studying, they go home. Not only does this break down the whole into pieces, but it also doesn't have to go through the hassle of building houses to house these people.
Therefore, recruiting believers here has these benefits, after all, it takes time to build a house, but the master lets them complete the task as quickly as possible, if the house is built, then I am afraid that the master will not be able to recruit a few believers, how can this be worthy of the master's trust.
When Bai Ling came to Crescent Village, several subordinates had actually only arrived here for more than ten days, but in just these ten days, they had already recruited nearly a thousand believers, if it weren't for the surrounding population restrictions, there were only so many people, except for the unqualified ones who had been eliminated, they had basically been recruited, in fact, there could be more.
After a few days of brainwashing and education, these people basically began to believe in Bai Ling, just waiting for Bai Ling to develop them into believers.
