These small and medium-sized nobles did not dare to stand up directly against the Archbishop of Edward.

If Edward was disgusted, they would have lost a lot without their cooperation with the Crucifixion.

They could only hope that the three dukes of Lotsyd, Brewster, and Carter would speak out against it.

When Duke Lo Saidi heard about Li Changqing's conditions, he only frowned tightly and did not make any statement.

William. Brewster was a little breathless, coughed and said, "Archbishop Edward, you have to take thirty percent of your income, which is indeed too much. ”

"After all, we have opened a factory, and we still have employees to be responsible for their salaries, but you have to take seventy percent of the profit at the moment......"

"Otherwise, let's go five-five?"

Li Changqing shook his head with a smile on his face: "If Duke Brewster thinks that my conditions are too harsh, the part of the interests you are responsible for can be handed over to Duke Locetti." ”

And this kind of good thing?

Duke Locetti was overjoyed on the side, and hurriedly spoke: "I am duty-bound! ”

"No, no, no."

William. When Brewster heard this, he could only nod his head and agree.

And Duke Carter, who was on the side, knew in his heart that this Archbishop Edward would probably not retreat in this regard, so he naturally stopped talking.

Li Changqing glanced around at the many nobles present and said, "The work that everyone is currently responsible for remains unchanged, and the interests are accounted for by our Cross Church. ”

These interests are not Li Changqing's own, but one of the main sources of income for the entire Cross Church.

Those present no longer objected.

Seeing this, Bishop Diravi and Bishop Sipa in the room were also slightly surprised in their hearts, this group of nobles was not so easy to talk to.

These are the powerful classes in the entire Lamela Empire, such as Duke Luxetti, Duke Carter and Duke Brewster, who occupy nearly half of the entire empire's arms business, not to mention real estate and other businesses.

The three of them are real nobles.

At this moment, the new bishop was directly about to take away thirty percent of the profits, but they stopped talking.

Li Changqing is also measured in his heart.

If it was from the beginning, it would be almost impossible to take these thirty percent of the profits, and it would cause resistance and resistance from most of the nobles present.

But at first, everyone thought they would hand over a large part of the internal business of the Cross Church to the Duke of Locetti.

If this large part of the business were to be handed over to the Duke of Locetti, the people present would get nothing.

Now although it has been scraped away by thirty percent, it is profitable.

Li Changqing knew in his heart that the group of nobles present was not easy to mess with.

It is impossible to really give all the profits to the Duke of Locetti alone.

I have just become the archbishop of the Cross Church, and if I really want to do this, I am afraid that I am looking for death.

Her Majesty Lamela still has a curse on her.

It really provoked this group of people, and the backlash of these families' power that had taken root in the Lamela Empire for hundreds or thousands of years was not something that a new archbishop could stop.

"Looks like everyone shouldn't have any opinions? Bishop Dilawy, open a few good bottles of wine, and I will have a good drink with the knights. ”

I opened a few bottles of the good wine that Archbishop Jonathan treasured during his lifetime.

The nobles present were bitter in their hearts, but they were also a little helpless.

Although the Duke of Locetti was unable to reap more benefits, he was not in the slightest dissatisfied.

Duke Locetti's eyesight is not comparable to ordinary people, and he has to take a long-term view.

This Archbishop Edward's style of doing things is so tough, he will take 30% of the profit as soon as he takes office, and with Kelly's relationship with him in the future, sooner or later he will be able to eat other businesses.

Some people rejoice, others are sad.

In the end, the nobles left with their own hearts.

"Archbishop, if you come up, you will take thirty percent of the profits, I am afraid it will cause them to be dissatisfied, our Cross Church is not too short of money for the time being, in fact, there is no need to do this."

Dilawi stood beside Li Changqing, holding a red wine glass in his hand, with a little worry on his face.

Li Changqing shook his head and said: "It's good to change the rules, I don't mention it when the new official takes office now, and if I mention it later, they won't agree to come down." ”

"As for the extra 30% of the profit every year, how much?" Li Changqing asked.

He doesn't yet know how much this part of the 30% profit is.

When Sipa on the side heard this, he thought about it and said, "The main source of income for our Cross Church is the business of cooperation with the nobles, and the divine tax paid by the believers. ”

The divine tax is paid separately to the church by believers.

He thought for a while and said, "The extra thirty percent should be able to add two billion lang coins a year." ”

"Two billion francs?"

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized something.

In the future, he is afraid that he will lose the important experience of trying to make money in his life.

If you move your mouth, you can earn 20 billion francs.

The Cross Church is too rich.

Dilawi on the side said: "This money can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, our church's financial expenditure has always been very large, new churches in various places, or the annual maintenance of churches is expensive, in addition to building roads, bridges, and building church hospitals." ”

The Empire of Lamela, why did the Crucifixion Church be so reverent?

Because 80% of the roads and bridges of the entire Lamela Empire were repaired at the expense of the church, saving a lot of money in the imperial treasury.

And the church hospital allows ordinary people to see a doctor for free.

All these make the entire Cross Church a lot of money, but the annual investment is also very large.

In particular, the lack of an effective regulatory system throughout the Crucidian Church, embezzlement of funds appropriated is extremely common.

If you set aside 10 billion lang coins a year, half of them can finally land below, which is not bad.

Dirawi also told these situations one by one.

Li Changqing frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Then why don't you set up a regulatory agency within the church?" ”

Dilawi said embarrassedly: "A hundred years ago, the church did do this, but ...... The end result of this is just one more institution reaching out to make money. ”

When Li Changqing heard this, he also understood that corruption is a moth of the state and organization, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it.

At the very least, it is difficult for a standard otaku like him to come up with a solution in a short period of time.

The Crucifixion had been conceived by so many people before, but none of them had been able to succeed.

Li Changqing didn't think he could be much smarter than them.

At this time, Li Changqing noticed a question: "Hey, since there is a church hospital, why is there no church school?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Changqing also remembered that in the entire Lamela Empire, there didn't seem to be many schools.
