I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

The problem is far worse than Pastor Barth had imagined.

Judging from the knights sent by the lords who have arrived one after another, I am afraid that the current problem is far from the situation described in the letter. The matter of transporting grain to the mountains is now not only involving a large number of free people, but even many of the lord's cronies, and even the lord himself, are actively participating in this kind of activity.

After the first taste of profit, they not only participated in it themselves, but also allowed their freedmen to participate, and this phenomenon now had a tendency to spread to the upper echelons - several kings' chancellors of finance began to pay attention to the problem, and many lords, after seeing him, enthusiastically sold themselves this shortcut to riches as his godsons.

No one thinks that it is wrong for a large amount of food not to be sent to the front line of the battlefield, and to send it to a barren mountain with no people, no one thinks so. In fact, many peasants and lords even tried every possible way to sell grain from their warehouses and rations.

Because this high-end sales model requires a large amount of grain, the price of grain in the market has more than tripled, and it will continue to rise.

Based on the experience of previous years, the lords and peasants would be desperately trying to hold on to their food stocks in order to push up the price of food and survive a possible famine.

But as far as Bishop Barthes now knows, the situation is quite the opposite.

On the one hand, the price of food is frantically high, on the other hand, everyone is desperately selling food, and many lords take the initiative to go to farther areas to contact caravans and let them transport food to make up for the lack of food in the area around the Citor. If there is no such thing as a "great cause", Bishop Barth is very relieved that this situation has occurred, which is enough to show that his missionary work has been very successful, and everyone is spontaneously contributing to the cause of jihad, but now, he only feels chills.

Xiaoyang is above, this so-called "barren mountain grain transport" organization has only appeared for less than a month, and all the people who come into contact with this organization are more fanatical than the most devout fanatics Bart has ever seen. Everyone spontaneously sold all their possessions, their fields, their houses – everything was exchanged for money and put into this so-called "great cause". And the ongoing jihad seems to have been left behind by everyone.

There is no economics in this era, and even if there were, Bishop Bart would probably not be able to understand what the invisible hand is. It is even more impossible to know what Keynesianism is, and what inflation is, and what inflationary prosperity is.

The large number of glass beads, artificial pearls and gemstones that Shen Changwen brought from the earth were like gold in this era, and they could almost be used directly as money. Such a large-scale import of money will form a huge impetus for the entire economic market, revitalizing the deflationary market, which is already heavily constrained by metal production.

The market, which was always in a conservative state, is now opening up little by little, and everyone can clearly see that they are making more and more money, and everyone is now desperately investing the money earned from the MLM system, that is, from Shen Changwen, to make more money, and even began to spontaneously integrate the market. They contacted the lords of other regions and lured them into joining the capital spree with a large amount of gold, while also demanding that the new lords cancel the Rika and taxes along the way.

This is something that even the Xiaoyang Sect does not dare to hope for, even if the transportation materials of the Holy War Army pass through the doors of many daring lords, they may be subject to a little tax.

Bishop Barth did not know the cause of this prosperity, but he knew very well the consequences of this prosperity. It is very likely that jihad will be in an embarrassing situation because of this, and when all the people are obsessed with making money, even making it easily, who will want to go to the front and give their lives for God?

His original plan was to consolidate the lords' forces, immediately launch a blow against the organization, search for all the participants, send the young men to the front, and return their savings to the Holy See in the form of ransom, part of which was distributed to the lords as hands-on benefits. But judging from what he had seen now, he was a little afraid to make this decision hastily, because he was not sure if these lords would willingly obey his command. Chances are, these lords will also send a message to the participants below - as many of the convoys have been developed by themselves.

On the one hand, Bart placed the most descendant forces of these lords by his side in the name of protecting the logistics line, and actively discussed the issue of commissions with them, making his own intention to join the organization. On the one hand, he had personally written a letter to the Pope, asking him to send a pious, elite armed force directly under the Holy See - the enemy of the Incisor Fort was only a disease of moss, and this inexplicable organization of transportation was the real henchman of this holy war!

……

"Wu Xiaoqing, wake up."

Professor Shen's voice sounded very familiar, Wu Xiaoqing opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the light in his room had been turned on, and Shen Changwen was standing at the door of the room, and he was unexpectedly wearing chain mail - Professor Shen has always hated wearing this thing. At this moment, he was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in Wu Xiaoqing's room, quickly piling Wu Xiaoqing's things in front of his bed.

"Hurry up, armor, pistol...... Where did you put your guns and bullets? ”

"Under the closet," Wu Xiaoqing still didn't understand the situation, "Professor Shen, what's wrong?" ”

"Plan B is going to fail, and now we have to implement Plan C ahead of schedule."

While Wu Xiaoqing was dressing, he listened to Shen Changwen talk about Plan B.

The listening equipment placed by the search and rescue team in the city has clearly detected that a bishop of the Xiaoyang Sect who has returned from the front line is mobilizing troops from the Holy See to prepare to attack them.

In addition, Xu Yan, who is mainly responsible for pyramid schemes, has also received several reminders from several lords who have been promoted to the level of captain - the Holy See should be unfavorable to the organization!

It's not that these people are loyal to Xu Yan, who has only known him for less than a month, but that they want to be able to send them a commission for the goods they have shipped in advance, and for this reason, they even do not hesitate to leak the top-secret information they have obtained from the highest levels of the Holy See.

Even Xu Yan and Shen Changwen have thought about the crimes, sabotage jihad, espionage, heresy, blasphemy against Xiaoyang, and harboring Dayang...... Large and small, there are a total of 23 crimes, and this time there is no atonement.

Wu Xiaoqing listened carefully to the twenty-three charges, and was a little strange: "There is no pyramid scheme? ”

"All religious systems are pyramid schemes...... It stands to reason that they are the ancestors of pyramid schemes," Shen Changwen couldn't help but shake his head, "I have always asked Xu Yan to keep a low profile, a low profile...... But something went wrong. ”

In fact, Xu Yan is not to blame for this, although Wu Xiaoqing did not participate in the whole process of progress, he also participated in all the meetings and knew the development of the whole situation.

As far as the organizational model of MLM is concerned, Xu Yan is only the top-level organizational structure, and after the establishment of the entire organizational model, the entire development is no longer under his control. Xu Yan and Wang Youquan basically had no way to participate in the specific actions of the entire MLM organization, how to transport the grain, how to procure it...... They didn't care, at most, at the beginning, they helped get a few street signs on the road to guide the transportation team.

Their main job is still at several predetermined terminals, where they are responsible for receiving and paying according to the goods.

As for the specific distribution of these remunerations, in fact, it is completely an internal matter of the MLM system, and some individual team leaders and captains even spontaneously changed the rules - originally promised that their set of rules still gave a considerable part of the money to the new entrants, but later many people, especially those transport teams organized by the lords, not to mention the money, even the few pieces of bread sent to everyone at the terminal were not eaten, and they had to be taken back and stored for the lord.

But for Xu Yan, they can't control this kind of thing, anyway, as long as the grain is delivered to the destination, they will give the money according to the agreed price, that's all. As for the middle link, there are only four of them in total, plus dozens of mercenaries, it is impossible to manage it at all.

Not to mention those lords who have joined, according to some of the latest news that Xu Yan has gotten, several kings have even begun to send ministers of the exchequer to inquire about the price of grain - if it is cost-effective, several kings are even ready to secretly come and sell some of the military rations that have just been levied for holy war.

Recently, the price of food has risen sharply, and luxury goods based on crystals and pearls have become popular in the market, and the king also needs to make some extra money, right?

Such rampant development, in this era when grain is the main product, can almost be said to have shaken the country's foundation, how can it not be that the Holy See is angry? What is the jihad when they are organized? Do children play at home? In this way, where is the prestige of the Jihadist Army! Where is the prestige of the Xiaoyang Sect! Where is the prestige of the Pope?

The most important thing is that everyone has gone to participate in pyramid schemes, who still comes to believe in religion! Changing the name of MLM can be regarded as a new religion, and in this regard, MLM is simply digging into the foundation on which Xiaoyang Sect depends.
