Chapter 51: Religion

Link looked at the papyrus in front of him, rubbed his brow heavily, and wanted to rest for a while, but thinking of the current situation of being in ruins, Link still sighed, and began to review the exchange of work points in the commune yesterday, and according to the exchange situation and the materials in the commune treasury today, he formulated today's exchange price list.

It has been three days since the establishment of the commune, and the tribesmen have begun to adapt to the new system in the commune, and the division of labor system has begun to be accepted by the clansmen.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, Link wants to shear the sheep on the people, and on the other hand, he also wants to protect the people from pits, but Link has seen those scenes where merchants use colored shells to lure the people, and the commune implements a unified purchase policy for the goods brought by the merchants, which will form a buyer's market, which is beneficial to the tribe and the people.

The current division of labor is the actual currency of the commune, and it not only brings the commune closer to the people, but also frees the people from the chaos of bartering: one ounce of sweet pepper for two ounces of basil, one ounce of basil for an old iron kettle or two iron knives, an iron knife for a pair of camel boots or seven pounds of camel jerky, and a pair of camel boots for five dates or eight thumb-thick salt lizard jerky.

How can a warrior who has three ounces of basil in his hand want to eat both salt lizard jerky and a new pair of boots?

In the past, merchants also brought metal coins to the tribe, but bad merchants have used steel coins, amber coins or silver coins trimmed by coin shearers on the edge to lure the tribesmen, and the tribesmen who do not understand the outside market have been fooled, even if it is a serious currency brought by honest merchants, it is also controversial due to the different weight, size, and gold content, you must know that in the continent of Faerun, almost every country or region has its own currency of different shapes, and the clansmen who have suffered the losses of the merchants finally accepted the barter trading method.

In the commune, this currency is the price of the commune's announcement of the exchange of materials, how much work is exchanged for spices, how much labor is exchanged for camel jerky, but this price cannot be changed, and it is still necessary to refer to the market supply and demand.

Similarly, if there are too few materials in the commune and too little labor in the commune, it will cause deflation and the value of the work will rise, and the tribesmen choose to wait and see no longer exchange for materials, which will also cause chaos, so it is necessary for Link to regularly adjust the exchange price of the work according to the exchange situation of the commune the day before, the inventory of materials today, and the expected increase or decrease of materials in the next few days.

Link intends to accumulate data for a period of time and conduct research, the scale of the commune is very small now, and if it develops and grows in the future, it will definitely not continue to do so, it will stifle the enthusiasm of the market, and there will be the disadvantages of being too rigid and lagging behind through policy adjustment, and in the future, it will still take semi-policy and semi-market means to regulate, and what can be done now is to accumulate data to facilitate future investigation and research.

After a large number of seemingly random events are repeated, the inevitable law of events - the law of large numbers will be discovered

Link took a charcoal pen and wrote back and forth on the papyrus, feeling in his heart that it was fortunate that there was a large amount of papyrus left in the camp of the Santalin Society, otherwise the large number of rules and regulations he had made would not have been enforced, and he had not even made any records to make a ledger? He also taught a few treasury management and audit double-entry bookkeeping and how to close accounts and write off accounts, and glanced up at a priest apprentice who was reviewing the work records beside him, Link nodded, these few priest apprentices left behind were not only literate, but also had a slow brain, and a few of them could perform first-level magic skills, but Link thought of a key issue they represented, religious issues.

The current commune is composed of five tribes in the past, the ancestral spirits of the Link tribe have been hit hard and fallen into a deep sleep, and there is a tribe that believes in the god of justice Tyr very strangely, and the ancestral spirits of the remaining three tribes have been killed by the Santarin Society or the Yin Soul Mage, and now the commune has actually fallen into a gap of faith, in the Faeron Continent, no faith is a very terrifying thing, and after death, the soul is either in the wall of the unbeliever, or reborn in the bottomless abyss Demon Worm and other very terrifying ends.

In fact, among the five tribes, except for the believers of Tyr, who can go to Tyr's god domain after death, the fate of the believers of the remaining tribes is actually eaten by the ancestral spirit as a tonic, in fact, even if it is a believer of Tyr, after going to Heaven Mountain to become a prager, they will slowly lose their memories after spending a happy time, and finally they will be transformed and reborn into the Yakong Celestial Clan, or they will be transformed into positive energy and integrated with Tyr, but the clansmen don't know ah, although the mages and scholars of Faeron are very clear about this set of gods, but they have not seen anyone hype it to the civilians, if there is such a person, whether it is a true god or an evil god, he will be regarded as a mortal enemy。

Link knows very well in his heart that there is no problem of faith in the commune now, but the lives of the clansmen were threatened by the Santarin Society before, and their lives have not settled down, and when the clansmen settle down, they will think of the fact that they have lost their ancestral spirits now, and there will be big problems if they don't handle it well, and more importantly, now the tribe has a conflict of faith, and now more than one-fifth of the clansmen in the commune believe in Tyr, and the ghost people believe in the goddess of the night, Sha'er, although the high-level mage of the Yin Soul did not speak, but one of the low-level priests of Shar in his companions has already greeted him and wants to preach。

Glancing at the Tyre apprentice priest in front of him again, Link thought thoughtfully. Feeling Link's gaze, the shy big boy who was a little shy smiled, and seeing that Link didn't look away, he lowered his head in a little panic and continued to review the accounts.

Link smiled dumbly, and secretly thought to himself what to do if there was a religious conflict in the tribe? In the face of Pastor Share's request for proselytizing, he took a compromise approach, transferring several Tyre priest apprentices to his side as auditors, calling them all day long, so that they had no time to preach, and believed that the God of Justice would not care about his small actions.

However, the departing mage merchant made Link a little worried, this suspected harpist from Waterdeep City seemed to be a believer in Tyr, and the conversion of the desert tribe from the ancestral spirit to Tyr was also very strange, and thinking of the sophisticated weapons and equipment provided by the merchant for the converted tribe, Link believed that there must be something wrong with this.

The merchant promised to mobilize a batch of urgently needed materials from the commune to trade with the commune as soon as possible, and on the way back, he would try his best to persuade the caravan he encountered to come to the commune to trade, what did the merchant obviously expect from the commune, and the content of his conversation with the ghost mage Link also did not know, but there is no doubt that some of the merchants' expectations are being transferred to the newly established commune, and there will be no conflict of faith between Tyr and Shar in the future in the commune?

Thinking of the Yin Soul Mage, Link felt a haze in his heart again, this guy has always been on guard against himself, secretly supporting the independence of the Toucheng tribe, and now there is still a detachment led by the high-level of the Santarin Society in the ruins, and Link has not been told what the specific situation is.

Just as he was thinking about these things, a sentry's siren sounded outside: "The spider-eater is here again!"

The spider-eaters were frightened away by the flames of the camp that night, and the owners of the spider-eaters who had abandoned themselves fled, and now they flew back to the camp from time to time, and when they saw strange people, they began to attack, which caused a lot of trouble to the camp in the past two days, Link was angry and picked up his scimitar and walked out of the tent.
