Chapter 70: The Wartime Act (Subscription Requested!! )
"It's been sent, it's really sent.... The aristocracy is really rich! ”
In the warm study, Dino looked at the ruble coupons that covered the table, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
He just counted, and these military nobles sent a total of two million rubles!
Converted into gold pounds, it is enough to 200,000!
This time it made up for the previous loss, not only that, but the military nobles also said that they would donate the same amount to the Church of Truth every month in the future, which is equivalent to their regular income!
Two million rubles per month?
That's a lot more profitable than being a grocer!
More critically....
This is only the first batch of military nobles who surrendered, and the more nobles surrendered later, the more money they wanted.
Dino grabbed a handful of ruble coupons, sniffed the ink on them, and said with an intoxicated expression: "If I could have had so much money, I wouldn't have gone to the Windsor Kingdom to do business..."
Suddenly, after a pause, Dino seemed to remember something, and looked at Ma Wei: "Priest, are we going to continue to distribute broth and dairy products to the refugees?" ”
"Of course, since it has already begun, don't stop and hold on until the refugees return home."
Dino's cheeks twitched slightly, and the excitement suddenly dissipated: "Then this money is not enough.... Hold on for three more days at most...."
"There's nothing to worry about, the next thing is the avalanche effect." Ma Wei said disapprerovingly: "The first batch of military nobles sent money, and after the other military nobles knew about it, they would definitely have to express it." We have already dug a pit in the dam, and then, even if we do nothing, this thousand-year-old dam will collapse overnight. ”
Dino nodded thoughtfully, this is indeed a domino effect, as long as the first person to eat crabs appears, then crabs will become a delicacy on the public table, and the same is true for the Church of Truth.
Someone comes today to send money to show their loyalty, and tomorrow more people will come to the door, and the day after tomorrow.... The day after tomorrow.... The stream is endless, contagious like a plague.
And those who come later, in order to show their unwavering loyalty, will donate more and more money, and in the end....
Some people even have to donate their entire net worth to get Ma Wei's favor.
"That's power."
Ma Wei stretched out his hand and shook it in the void: "I can't see it, I can't touch it, but it's enough to corrode the power of the mind." ”
"Priest?"
Seeing him like this, Dino was stunned: "Could it be that you.... These are the things you're looking for? ”
"That's all I said."
Lowering his arm, Ma Wei smiled and shook his head: "What I am looking for is the truth, it was and it is now. ”
"So do we want to introduce a system of indulgences?" Dino asked: "In the end, we are still short of money, we don't know how long the war will last, if we don't regain the lost territory for a day, we will send a day's broth to the refugees, in the long run, even the richest countries can't hold on, money must make money, and it is not a long-term solution to sit on the mountain." ”
"Indulgences?"
Ma Wei raised his eyebrows and said categorically: "Impossible, the indulgence system is a representative of crime and corruption, crime is crime, how can money atone for sin?" ”

"But these military nobles send us money to prepare for the future! Do we want to settle accounts after the fall? ”
Mavi fell into deep thought.
He really had to think about it on this issue.
Is it to cut off from today and not blame the past, or to forbear it for the time being, and settle accounts after the autumn?
Starting from his heart, Ma Wei didn't want to just settle it like this, but if the autumn queen settles the score, will other nobles in the future choose to surrender?
The Romanov Kingdom is only the first step in his plan, and the development of the Truth Church will not stop there, and sooner or later, he will return to the Kingdom of Windsor and fulfill his wish.
And the United States of Citi across the ocean ....
This is one of the biggest threats to the future.
Ma Wei will never let them develop with peace of mind.
Thinking from a rational point of view, it is a choice that is beneficial to the overall situation by not blaming the past deeds.
"This matter, wait until I discuss it with Her Highness Katerina before making a decision." Ma Wei said: "We can't just go our own way, and do the things in front of us first. ”
"Okay, I'll go pay the balance and order the supplies I need for the next few days."
With money, Dino's waist is straight, not to mention the wind when walking, and when dealing with farmers, he has enough confidence.
After lunch, Ma Wei started the afternoon 'training' again, cultivating new believers is the most important thing at present, only money has no power, can only become a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of others, Ma Wei also invested almost all his energy in this matter.
If he's expecting it right....
The next great counteroffensive is the main battlefield of the second confrontation between the Church of Truth and the Cult of Wisdom.
And this time, it's the foundation.
......................................
"Archbishop Henry, it's the third day now...."
Near noon, Paul I hadn't gotten up yet, he had a fever, and he leaned on the head of the bed sickly, holding Kelulu, frowning: "The Church of Truth hasn't shown any fatigue yet, and yesterday I tested the tone of Duke Yin Vanovich and found that they didn't have any idea of continuing to add funds...."
In this regard, Archbishop Henry, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was not surprised at all, Paul I had given up enough benefits, he could not retreat again and again, and the nobles could not see the benefits, and would certainly not continue to pay for the thankless task of relieving the refugees.
"It's clear that the Church of Truth has been helped by other forces." Archbishop Henry said in a deep voice, "Although we don't know who is secretly funding them, no matter what, we shouldn't fight them over this matter. ”
"Are we just giving up? Falling short? ”
"No, Your Majesty, the Church of Truth is too small, the only area where they can increase their prestige and fund is the area around Tyumen City, and there are as many as 20 million refugees affected by this disaster, it is impossible for everyone to eat meat and drink broth, the priests of the Church of Wisdom God have already established churches in other cities and recruited many believers, and we have lost only this area of Tyumen." Archbishop Henry said: "The advantage is still in our hands. ”

After a pause, he added: "In order to expand our advantage, I suggest that we not allow the Church of Truth to get the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence, but to send all their priests and monks to the battlefield, and use the war to continuously consume their strength and manpower, so that they cannot care about each other, and during this period, the Wisdom God Cult can completely gain a foothold in the Romanov Kingdom, in this way, we will be invincible!" ”
"Ahem...."Paul I coughed twice, a flush appeared on his face, and he became a little emotional: "This is a good solution, I am also planning to send Katerina to the area where the fighting is most intense, so that she can charge." ”
"Not only that, but we should also enact wartime laws to prohibit refugees from moving around in the name of maintaining stability in the rear, and let local magistrates strictly guard them." Archbishop Henry drew a circle in the air: "It's like a cage that imprisons the Church of Truth and their adherents near the city of Tyumen!" ”
As king, Paul I certainly had the power to enact laws, not to mention that the Senate, which was made up of nobles, was also under his control, and it was an extremely sharp sword that had to be used properly.
Taking this opportunity, the Cult of Wisdom will occupy the cities in the hinterland of the Romanov kingdom in turn, hype up the teachings, develop believers, and with the support of the king, it will be able to gain a large number of followers without much effort.
In the face of this cunning scheme, the Church of Truth can only accept it head-on, and there is no other way out!
