Chapter 47 Legal System
Two months later, the Temple of the Lord of Light.
In the small study on the second floor, Shepard only casually draped in a robe, sitting on a circle chair looking at two lists, which were the available talents he asked his subordinates to recommend, although faith can be found by himself, but personal ability cannot be judged from faith, nearly a hundred pastors of the church, and now only three bishops have been singled, and the rest either have to be honed, or have not yet entered his eyes.
Although it is only a small study, the area is nearly 30 square meters, in the name of the church and the oracle, many units of measurement have been carried out according to his familiarity, one wall in the study is full of equal wall high bookcases, but there are only a few scrolls or clay boards and other original records of the classics, most of which are still empty or placed bonsai.
Including the bookcase, whether it is a desk, a circle chair, a coffee table or a long case, etc., are all wooden or stone, not only because Shepard does not like luxury, but also because he personally likes, for more than a year, the original wooden place of the main shrine has basically been replaced with more durable stone, and the interior decoration and decoration are also simple and practical.
The cathedrals that have been handed down in the past have taken hundreds of years to complete, and some are still under construction for centuries, which is a pure luxury and waste for the current church.
After reading the list, relying on the systematic screening and the induction of the Godhead, I wrote down the names of the appropriate people, and called the attendants to call all the people, these attendants are all probationary pastors of the church or just ordinary people, unless there is something important, and there is no need to let the knights pass on the letter for anything, there are more than 100 clergy in the church, and the number of ordinary people working for the church is even more.
Wait until these recommended people come over, and then observe them face to face, you can arrange them to various positions, and now the territory is still small, you can do everything, and when there are more people, you will have to promote your capable subordinates, each of them will be in charge.
Shepard's eyes fell on the list on the table, and he accidentally saw the jade paperweight on the side, so he picked it up and played with it, when the church was first founded, he had said that the pearl would be the treasure of the church, and then the three towns were unified, and it was re-listed, listing gold, silver, pearls, all kinds of gemstones, all kinds of jade, etc. as the favorite things of the gods, and then thinking that it would encourage the wind of luxury, but fortunately, there were no good minerals inside and outside the Orton territory, and the matter was over.
Occasionally, believers would pick up some treasures in the river valley and present them to the church, and if they confirmed that they were of great value, they would also reward them with a large amount of money for believers, so that many people once searched up and down the river when they were fine, but they were attacked by fierce beasts and killed and injured, and the number gradually decreased.
Both within the church and local people with positions began to learn to collect jewelry, gold and silver, so that the primitive style of gold ornamentation in the territory has long been lost, and at first glance it is not much different from the ordinary towns of the Old World.
There was a soft knock on the door, and it was only when he heard Shepard's voice in the room that the people outside pushed the door open, and Yuguan walked into the study, and the last one reflexively closed the door gently.
There were five men and three women, of all ages, among whom Kramar was recommended from the convoy, Othello and other priests, and the bishops and mayors of the other two towns were also recommended.
At this time, the eight people all lowered their heads a little nervously, and occasionally someone secretly looked at Shepard, and as soon as they saw his gaze sweeping, they hurriedly looked at the ground, as if there was some exquisite pattern on the floor tiles.
Shepard smiled, scanned the past with the eyes of the true god, and saw that he was calm, or enthusiastic, or vibrant, or quiet, and connected the thread of faith with the godhead, all of them are true believers, even if someone deceives, they cannot hide in front of the true God, and righteous believers can already be probed into their inner thoughts, retrieve the past, although their thoughts are different, but there are no intolerable dark corners.
Bowing slightly, it seems that his subordinates also put their mind into the recommendation, the corners of Shepard's mouth raised, and the names and information of the eight people, as well as the arrangements, were all told by him in a calm tone.
"Iffina, your mother has been serving the church since the town of Yanan, I remember that the pumpkin pie she made was delicious, and in the future you will be in charge of the teaching business of all the apprentice saints, and Evie is your superior."
Ivina's name was a blushing and energetic girl, and the information on the list noted that she was twenty years old, and she looked like sixteen, and when she heard her appointment, she nodded her head with joy on her face.
"Turandot, you are one of the first people rescued by the church from the town of Los Ric, Haku is very satisfied with your impression, but you will be the head of one of the three newly formed caravans of the church in the future, and you will need to cooperate with Krut, but you have to remember that you are not his subordinate, you are only responsible to me, understand?"
Turandot was a large man with brown skin and a very rugged appearance, although he wore the robes of the clergy, he always had a fierce aura, and in fact he was also a strong warrior, only to be sifted out of the selection when the Order was founded.
He bowed to Shepard with a serious expression and accepted his appointment.
"Nokhan, you are already an old man of the church, you will be the head of the remaining caravan like Turandot, but your target will not be the Ruth tribe, but the [Tatos tribe] in the northwest, I heard that they were beaten badly by the invaders and the Ruth tribe, but the specific situation is not clear to the church, so your responsibility is very heavy, do you have any requirements?"
Nockhan was a former villager who fled from the fishing village to Orton with the Roses siblings, and had a good relationship with the Sunnier family, except for the Roses siblings, the rest of the Sunnier family lived in Yanan Town, and was in charge of the town's only dock and tavern.
He was like an ordinary fisherman, with bronzed skin and rough hands with calluses and tears, but the escape made him stronger than most ordinary people.
He bowed his head and replied nervously: "Your Excellency, I am willing to give my life for the Church!" It's just that my family ......"
Shepard smiled: "Don't worry, there will be guards and priests specially arranged by the church to follow you in the caravan, the chance of success is very high, although there are risks, but if you have an accident, your family will be raised by the church, and if you successfully return, there will be unexpected rewards waiting for you." ”
Without any worries, Nokhan exclaimed: "Thank you, Your Excellency! Nockhan was willing to give his life for the cause of the Lord! ”
Shepard smiled in encouragement and turned his gaze to the rest of the group.
"Motov," he said, looking at the last of the clergy among the remaining men, "Bishop Othello has already taken the emigrant team to carry out a new mission, and on his recommendation, some of the positions he left behind will be taken over by you, there are many priests left behind in the main temple, and their arrangement and management will be a very important position, I hope you can do it well." ”
Motov is a very friendly person with a smile, and a gentle and friendly smile will easily make people feel good about him, but at this time he replied with a straight face, stiff but quite smooth: "Your Excellency, rest assured, I will not live up to the trust of Your Excellency and Bishop Othello!" ”
Shepard nodded slightly: "Those people are needed, you go back and make a list and submit it to me, if there is no problem, I will approve you as soon as possible, and you will have to assume your responsibilities and obligations as soon as possible." ”
Among the eight people, the arrangement of the clergy has ended, Shepard waved his hand and asked them to leave first to prepare, and then looked at the remaining four, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Avik, you are very smart, you will be the treasurer of the church in the future, responsible to me, and the financial statistics of the Orton Collar will be in charge of you." ”
"Kolov, Karen's militia has caught a lot of criminals this year, after Sato changed from a tribune to a civil officer, I am very dissatisfied with the handling of this aspect, you know the laws and laws of the church very well, you will participate in the operation of the civil court as a church-appointed judge, remember, God's interests come first, the purpose of our laws and punishments is not to punish the people, but to make their lives better."
