By the time Evanian woke up, most of the day had passed, but it felt like the sun was a little brighter than it had been. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the position of the moon has indeed set to the west, the tea party has ended, everything has returned to normal, although there are still wounded patients on the lawn planted with silver roses, and the vast majority of people are already busy with their own work.

Evanian sat up, yawned, and handed a wrung wet towel to the side.

"Iophta...... Evan Ian naturally took the towel and wiped his face vigorously, "What about the others?

"Archbishop Yarlin is here. Iofita put it succinctly, "He brought the Holy City's reaction. ”

Evan Ian took the wet towel and was quiet for a moment, "Oh. ”

Finally, he nodded.

In the end, the church's reply surprised Evan Ian.

Originally, he thought that since the Holy City had sent the results back so quickly, and he had hardly even thought about it, then eighty percent of the talks would collapse, but when Yarlin greeted him with a smile on his face, the contract amendment that he took out of his arms was simply a little too neat.

"First of all, 20,000 gold coins is a bit too much. Yarlin explained to Evanian one by one, "Now all the savings of the entire Southridge Church are only more than 10,000 gold coins, and then add the needs of operation, 8,000 gold coins can't be more. ”

"......," Evan Ian frowned, sat down in front of Arlin, and tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair, "18,000 Imperial Gold Coins, and then you take 3,000 of them, Lord Archbishop." ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Arrin suddenly coughed violently.

Evan Ian didn't care, he knew very well that the development of the church in Southridge had not been very good, as a slippery and somewhat selfish guy, Arlin had been the archbishop of Southridge for more than 10 years, but he didn't get much oil and water, and these 3,000 imperial gold coins should be a lot of money for him.

Hmph, stupid people from other worlds, probably don't know that there is still such a big killer weapon as "kickback" in the world that can set things right at the negotiation table and turn enemies into friends.

Sure enough, Yarlin coughed and peeked into the room, and after carefully casting a small miracle, he didn't say anything more on this point.

This did not surprise Evangel, for the Southridge Church, 18,000 Imperial Gold was indeed a lot of wealth, but for the wealthy Central Church, or the Emperor's Hall, the tax revenue of the large territory in the eastern part of the empire alone was more than that.

Without further confirmation on the issue of 3,000 imperial gold coins, after coughing, Arrin lightly brushed over the first article: "In addition, among the tax exemptions, agricultural tax and commercial tax are easy to say, but the toll tax and the donation tax are too great an obstacle to the development of the church, so this royal hall cannot agree." Also, Mr. Sir, as you know, the church in Southridge is not doing well, and in some rural areas, the money that missionaries have worked so hard to raise is barely enough to make ends meet. It should be said that this little money does not mean much to you who own the entire factory in Wenning District. ”

Evanian's face sank, but he didn't relax at all: "I can exempt some of the four basic taxes, but I can't miss any of the fundraising taxes." I don't want any kind of unearned among my people. ”

"This ......" Arrin was stunned for a moment, he felt that he couldn't keep up with Evan Ian's train of thought.

"If you don't have enough to eat with the money you donate, go farming, pray to the gods for spiritual comfort, and do your own thing honestly, and the priests of your religion, as the agents of the gods, should take the lead in setting an example. ”

Evan Ian has always been calm about religion, neither as hostile to religion as some in his previous life, nor as religious necessity theorists, who exalt too much of the church's role in stabilizing the hearts and minds of the people. For him, the only thing that law and morality can't do compared to religion is the theory of the afterlife.

If he is good in this life, what will happen after death, and if he is evil in this life, what will happen in the next life, this has always been an important factor for the major religions in his previous life to absorb followers. And like a certain Crescent cult, there is no shortage of doctrines that drive believers to become jihadist fanatics with empty promises after death. These empty promises are indeed very important for believers, and if used correctly, they do have a very positive effect on the values and morals of believers. But everything else is just religious dross, and the clergy are superior to others because they believe in God, and they don't have to work or anything...... It's even more something that Evan Ian wants to spray on the church's face.

"This ...... Let the priest work with the rest of the congregation......" Arling suddenly struggled.

Evanian tapped lightly on the arm of his chair and turned his gaze to the corner of the room, "Three thousand ......"

"Okay!" Arrin gritted his teeth, anyway, according to the current treaty of the Imperial Palace, his departure was inevitable. As a young sect, instead of looking forward to getting him a new position in the Imperial Hall after returning to the Holy City, it is better to wholeheartedly eat the 3,000 gold coins that Evan Ian promised him, plus the savings that he has earned little by little over the past ten years, it is enough to go home and retire.

This world is also going to be in chaos, retreat bravely, withdraw and leave, and do not leave even any legend of the Lord in the world. This is the romance of his little people who survive in the cracks.

"As for the registration ......"

"3,000 ......"

"That's no problem!"

After three of them, Yarlin's whole person seemed to have run five kilometers, his eyes were wide and he was out of breath. Both eyes are a little red, quite a bit of "whoever cuts off my wealth, I cut off his descendants!" fierce momentum.

However, Evanian knew very well that the first three did not touch the fundamental interests of the church at all, and what kind of outcome of Yarlin's final negotiation would only affect his own future, and the last three were the real focus of both sides.

"But the fourth one can't be let anymore!" As if he was afraid that Evan Ian would continue to gag himself with "3,000 ......", Arrin quickly clarified the theme as soon as he came up, "You can't say anything about hard service! Not to mention military service!"

"In the thousands of years since the church was established, there has never been a secular lord who can override the church, even the first emperor of the empire, when he sees the Pope, he has to be called a 'great teacher', this precedent must not be opened, if you have to insist on this, the church will fight with you to the end!"

Evan Ian tilted his head and looked at Arlin for a moment, "What about the priesthood? That is, your church sent someone to my school to be a teacher. ”

"Teacher?" Arrin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Evan Ian actually had this idea, but it was not a matter of interests or interests, whether it was suitable or not, but about the face and reputation of the church in the empire, and there was no possibility of retreat.

So in the end, he said categorically: "No, no matter what form of hard labor, labor will not work!"

"Well......" Evan Ian pondered for a moment, considering the wording, the church was unlikely to agree to this, which he had known from the beginning. However, he has built nearly 30 schools, large and small, throughout Nanling, and according to the plan, in the next five years, the number of schools will be more, but more schools need not only enough students, but more importantly, they need enough teachers. Expanding the education system by training teachers, judging by the example of his previous life, was both a success and a failure. This kind of lucrative model seems to be cool for a while, but for the real talent he needs, it is extremely obliterating.

So he has been considering, at least to some extent, to recruit some people with actual combat or practical engineering experience into the school, and guide the students in the knowledge of magic and art for him, and at the same time take his hands out, compile teaching materials, formulate teaching plans, and improve the entire education system.

And these things, for the mage and scholar resources that Evan Ian already has, are already a little stretched. So he has been thinking about opening up new channels for teachers, and this idea has hit this group of church priests who eat and raise money all day long, study theology and theology, and worship God all day long, and have nothing to do all day long.

He was not afraid that these priests would abduct his students into believers in the gods, and that he would not find anyone to teach people, but when it came to supervising them, there were quite a few military junctuaries in the New Model Army who had a cult of personality to the point of fanaticism, and these gendarmerie groups, which had been selected and armed with the strictest ideological education and political examination, had always been the morale engine of the entire New Model Army, and if they wanted to convert to the Church, we had to ask the military gendarmes the orphans and bitter masters who had been bullied by the clergy and hated the Church!

That's it! A priest accompanied two military juncers and his entourage! I don't know how to turn around and get out two war hammers in one hand and one hand in the other, shouting wildly Marx, "piupiu" The priest who threw magic tricks around, and even the political commissar's technology tree was also pointed out.

Thinking of this, Evanian said to Arlin: "Then let's do it, didn't you say before that there are clergy in the church who don't have enough to eat? Then you tell the Pope's Hall, let them open the free employment rights of the Southridge priests, they will give me work, and I will pay them." As for the nominal position, if you add a nominal order under the Nanling General Church, I will transfer my salary directly to this church at that time, and it will be a fundraiser in name. “

And Yarlin was stunned: "Is this so...... It doesn't seem impossible, I'll tell the Supreme Bishops of the Pope's Hall when I go back. “

"As for the bishop's right to recall......" Yarlin lost his previous momentum, he subconsciously looked down at the treaty, "this ......"

"Accept my request to remove the archbishop, but it is impossible for the next bishop and archbishop to be accepted?"

Evan Ian directly recited this article from the treaty, which is why he was surprised before.

"Yes......" Arrin smiled bitterly, and as soon as he saw this, he knew that he had been completely abandoned.

"And one last ......" Speaking of this, Evanian's expression was complicated, "If there is no objection to Articles 4 or 5, the Papal Chamber may grant the request to add my friarity to the Church ......." 500,000 words! The Expedition of the Saints finally gets to the point! Hurrah! Long live!
