Chapter 151: Church Treatment
David, who was explaining the decree, had been observing Lee Seungji's face. Seeing that he suddenly frowned slightly, he thought that he had not explained well. Immediately, my heart tightened, and I began to speak.
He hurriedly retracted his mind and explained the decree in more common words.
It took a while for David to finish explaining.
The people sitting at the bottom listened and discussed in whispers from ear to ear, but did not dare to speak loudly. But looking at their eyebrows, flying, lust and dancing looks, they were obviously moved by this condition.
"As long as you do things for the Governor's Palace, can you really eliminate slavery?" , Gu Yimaiti still didn't believe it, so he took the lead in speaking.
When the chief steward heard this, he immediately became a little dissatisfied and said, "Gu Yimaiti! The governor is sitting here, do you think this lord will still deceive people? ”。 Although it is 50,000 dinars, it is not a small amount. But after paying it off, it is considered a free man.
and does things for the Governor's Palace, but it is very face-saving. Ordinary people, even if they squeeze their heads, can't squeeze in. What's more, the Governor's Mansion gave a lot of money that was not low. Compared with the previous Bai Gan, it is much more merciful.
Nurmat was also afraid that Li Chengji and the others would be angry when they heard it, so he followed and persuaded: "Brother! The Governor won't lie to us! ”。 After all, Li Chengji's reputation is there, and he can't fake it.
"I--I-I-", for a moment, Gu Yimat was a little dumbfounded.
Li Chengji, who has been in a fugue, also came back to his senses. Knowing that he couldn't watch from the wall, he said, "It's okay! No problem! Doubts are human nature, and they don't matter. ”。
Hearing this, the big boss and the others couldn't say anything more.
Gu Yimaiti suddenly felt that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! I was a little ashamed, and I didn't say anything.
Li Chengji naturally didn't care about it, and was relieved.
When they left the mansion, a large group of subordinates sent them out very enthusiastically. Many of the subordinates of other mansions were looking forward to watching. Li Chengji looked at it and felt that it was done.
In this way, at noon, many slaves lined up at the Sadr Palace. They believed the decree issued by the governor's palace and came early. Ten to hundred, hundreds to thousands, more and more people to come.
Guyimat and Nurmat were also in the crowd.
Originally, they thought they had come early enough, but the queue was still crowded. They did not dare to cut in line, because there were always patrolling Puritans. Once discovered, the opportunity to eliminate slavery will definitely be gone.
For them, this is the equivalent of a death sentence. Therefore, no matter how many people there are, they have to wait
It was probably in the evening that the line reached them.
To tell the truth, after living for so long, it was the first time that Guyimat entered the Sadr Palace. Although it is an inconspicuous side hall, it also came in. He had only passed outside Sadr before, and had never had a chance to get inside.
When I saw it today, I couldn't tell him how shocked I felt.
Just when he was stunned, a Puritans who led the way said very unceremoniously: "Let's go!" Don't mess around! The people in the back are still waiting! ”。
Gu Yimat immediately retracted his mind and quickened his pace.
In order to save time, 20 people will be allowed in at a time. Then I went into a room, stripped naked, and let people scrub hard. I don't know if that person has done too much rough work, and his hands are very strong.
Gu Yimat felt that his body was rubbed apart.
Finally, after washing, I came to a dimly lit cubicle. A choking smell of herbs immediately entered his nose.
This is a potion to erase the mark on the neck!
In order to prevent slaves from erasing it privately, a special potion was specially added. Now to get rid of it, you also need a certain lady potion to neutralize it. Otherwise, it's not that easy.
The whole process is still tinged with a burning pain. But Gu Yimaiti endured it, so he insisted on it without saying a word.
This made the Puritans who removed the mark for him a little impressed. Then he said, "Not bad! Physique is OK too! Do you want to come to us Puritans? ”。
"Puritans?" The news of Guyimat is relatively closed, and the Puritans maintain a sense of mystery. Let him have some doubts in his heart.
"Hmmm! It's the Puritans! Join us and eat fragrant and drink spicy. The man encouraged. The treatment of the Puritans, from the very beginning, was very high. Ten dinars per month for one person is enough to catch up with the income of an ordinary person for a year.
Of course, this refers to ordinary civilians at the bottom of society!
Then the man went on to explain in detail some of the treatment of the Puritans. Like what you can join, you can immediately receive a generous pension. If you die on the battlefield, your wife and children will be supported by the church.
Even if he didn't start a family, the church also helped Zhang Luo get married.
It was also Li Chengji who deliberately asked Li Dawei to use money to open the way in order to recruit enough people.
It is said that money can make ghosts grind!
After pouring a lot of money down, the Puritans did gain a foothold in Bancheng County at great speed.
But in addition to this, Lee Seungji has another consideration. That is, with enough money, to cultivate good military discipline.
In this day and age, soldiers are like bandits.
Even though the Puritans were actually bandits, Lee Seung-ji formed them with the intention of building a good army.
Therefore, since its founding, the Puritans' canons have been particularly strict.
For example, it is not allowed to loot property under any circumstances without permission. On weekdays, you can't disturb the people. The Puritans were not allowed to rob people's daughters, rob homes and houses, and other common methods of bandits.
So much so that in Bancheng County, the reputation of the Puritans was excellent.
Li Dawei used to think that Li Chengji had money and no place to spend it, but he didn't understand. But after the Puritans grew up, the benefits were realized. I can only admire it from the bottom of my heart.
Now he obeys Li Chengji's words and plans, and he also comes from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, Gu Yimat listened, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "But I am a Muslim, and I can't apostate!" ”。 In the doctrine of Islam, only believers are allowed to join the Church, and apostasy is not allowed. Otherwise, not only will you go to hell after death. Even if you live, you will be punished by the Imam.
Knowing that Guyimat had misunderstood the Puritans, the man smiled and explained, "Hahaha, you don't need to apostasy to join the Puritans..."
Because when the Puritans were founded, they knew that most of the ethnic groups in Pancheng County believed in Islam. So joining the Puritans was still allowed to retain their faith.
In the end, one side of the water and soil raises one person!
For the Puritans to grow, they had to win the psychological identity of the locals. After all, at the beginning, there was no strong force. And to change the faith, it is necessary to mobilize the strength of the country. Otherwise, in Bancheng County, where there are many Muslims, they will only become a minority.
Li Chengji also thought of this, so he didn't ask for more in faith.
But doing nothing is not in line with Lee Seungji's nature. Because he didn't want the army he had built to be a bunch of crazy people full of extreme ideas. and according to their own understanding, in their doctrine, they have made many distortions.
In any case, in the region ruled by the caliphate, Islam has been divided into many sects since ancient times. Each sage was understood according to a different doctrine and thus became a new sect.
