Chapter 626: My Election Manifesto (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Schillia stood on the stage, scanning the white-bearded old men below, and now they were all staring at her, and suddenly felt a flustered for no reason.

Because she knows that these old men are all over the age of six, and they have extremely rich experience in dealing with people and things. As the saying goes, these old fellows have eaten more salt than they have eaten.

No matter what, even in the robes of the big red protagonist, Schillelia is just a young girl who has just walked out of school.

Even she has caught troublesome students in the maple leaf danlin, resisted the invading armies of Almohd, made expeditions to Abdewad, and traveled deep into the savannah to spread the faith.

has fought with the masters of the Dark Council, fought with the old fritters of the Holy See, and her footprints are all over half of the big 6, but in the eyes of the old guys of the Holy See, she is still a girl, a pink newcomer, and a rookie.

Getting along with them is like a naughty boy playing chess with a master, even if there is some kind of brilliant plan, maybe they will see through it at a glance.

When it comes to cunning and conspiracy, Shilmelia is not a little worse than them.

Just when Sylmelia's heart was getting weaker and weaker, she felt a pair of concerned eyes cast on her.

Seeing Lorraine smirk and mouth open, as if she had said something, and the triumphant gesture at her, Schillelia immediately came to her senses.

She looked at the sanctimonious old men, looking at herself with various gestures and expressions, and Schillelia secretly said in her heart: Just think they are a pack of dogs

This trick is a killer trick for flustered students when they face the road test officials when they take the driver's license test, Lorraine has tried it repeatedly, and has taught it to many people, and the effect of breaking the mental panic is extremely powerful, and it has been tried and tested, of course, provided that you can't let the road test officer know what he thinks.

After Schillea silently recited that sentence in her heart, and then subconsciously, she replaced the heads of all the cardinals sitting with dog heads,

Look at the rows of big dans, blackbacks, sled dogs, Pekingese, huskies, Shar Pei...... Dressed in the robes of a cardinal archbishop, sipping tea, drinking coffee, and smoking cigars......

This is a real human being.

As soon as she thought of this, she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone saw that she stood on the stage and didn't speak, one moment nervous, and the next moment with a smile on her face, they couldn't help but feel a little strange, and they all talked in a low voice.

These old men are all characters who have been in the Holy See all their lives, and they all know about this new cardinal who was strung together at a young age, and they know that there are big people behind them, so they don't dare to be too contemptuous.

But more often, everyone is in a game mentality. This is the Holy See, and although it says that all beings are equal, it is a patriarchal society.

And all the people here are tried and tested, experienced old men, and the other party is just a yellow-haired girl. It's an eye-opener for her to be a cardinal archbishop.

Almost everyone present did not think that this girl had the qualifications to become the Pope. Asking her to speak on the podium is nothing more than a matter of procedure, and she goes through the motions.

Everyone is just tired from fighting a few days ago and needs to take a break. Therefore, I look at her with a game attitude. No one really took her seriously at all.

At this time, Shilmelia was also aware of her gaffe, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her lips, coughed lightly, and steadied her feelings slightly, and then said: "Gentlemen, times have changed."

"Times have changed"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was talking in a low voice immediately stopped and cast puzzled glances at her.

Shirmel nodded and said, "That's right, times have changed. You can't make much money just by collecting rent. I think you're aware of that.

If you don't believe me, I have a detailed number on hand. ”

Everyone couldn't help but show thoughtful expressions when they heard her words. Some nodded approvingly.

As old guys who have lived for decades, they have been working hard in the Holy See since they were there, and they have a deep understanding of the increasingly difficult days of the Holy See.

Sylmeria continued: "It's not like it was before. In the past, as long as everyone went down and said a word, someone would naturally send something, and they would pick the best one.

And now?

Have those ordinary people become more horizontal?

It's not crying poor, or it's just playing tricks, and it takes a lot of effort to collect some things, and the result?

Either the sand is mixed with it, or it is the worst. ”

The cardinal archbishops below couldn't help but nod their heads.

Although they are not directly involved in the expropriation work, this work is the focus of the work of the Holy See, which is directly related to the quality of the red wine everyone drinks, as well as the quantity and level of the second and third wives, so everyone has never relaxed.

They also have a deep understanding of the specific situation raised by Shilmelia.

Schillea was already gradually getting into the groove at this point.

She didn't write it, but slowly walked off the podium and came to the middle of the room, pacing leisurely while continuing: "Have you ever thought about this question, why do we have indulgences?"

Hearing the second question she threw out unguardedly, everyone couldn't help but be stunned again, and some people sneered at random, who in the Holy See didn't know this reason.

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Shirmel Melia had already revealed the answer herself, and said: "It's not because there is no money or that the money from those incomes is not enough for everyone to spend. ”

Everyone looked at each other at the moment, and then nodded in agreement, the money in everyone's hands has never been enough to spend, the allocation at the beginning of the year is not in place, and the funds at the end of the year are insufficient, and everyone has to find a way to make extra money every year.

The two questions thrown by Shilmelia immediately reached everyone's hearts, so up, so far, no guy who is not long-eyed has jumped out and made trouble for her.

Of course, another very important reason is that before the meeting, everyone has already been hinted. Shilmelia was Obakhim, the webmaster's disciple.

If you start making trouble now, it is clear that you will not give face to the network administrator, and if you don't give the network management face, of course, the network administrator will not save face, silence and delete posts, kick out the game, force offline, close the black house, or even directly delete the account and block the account

As a qualified webmaster, he is a higher plane of existence than the final boss like the Lich King. But there are ways to clean up these players themselves, and if they say that they are really picking people, they will really pick up people.

Therefore, everyone looked at Shilmelia with shining eyes and full of anticipation just like the pot friends of the kindergarten class looked at the teacher holding a large pile of cakes.

"One of the biggest problems we face is how to increase revenue

This answer is nothing more than two, one is open source and the other is throttling. ”

The crowd immediately began to make a commotion again.

Everyone is a professional-level god stick, you said that you are cheating others of the money in their pockets, everyone is good at this. But doing business?

Come on

is that everyone adds up and exerts all the strength to eat milk, and the business wisdom is at most comparable to that of the aunt who sells vegetables on the street.

And it's still the kind of waste that loses more and wins less, and loses again and again

If you don't have this in your brain, you can't do it professionally.

And the second, throttling. This is going to kill everyone.

Throttling, to put it nicely, is still not to reduce everyone's appropriations.

Eat good wine and meat every day, if this is a throttle, you can only go back to gnaw corn on the cob and drink dry two pot heads.

It's not enough to spend, and if you reduce it, how can you live this day?

In the history of the Holy See, there is not only one big man who has called for throttling, and there are even many who have really implemented the policy of solving the problem, but what is the result in the end? It is not that the more festivals are over, the more they are spent.

Shilmelia saw that everyone kept talking in a low voice, and she didn't press it, and waited for a while, and when everyone's discussion gradually subsided, she said: "Our Holy See is now bloated, and people are floating in things.

On average, there are only about 30 clergy in the official number of the main church in a city, but there are more than 200 people who eat in the organization.

This is also true. What's more, they don't work, and they take money. ”

A trace of worry couldn't help but appear on everyone's faces, because what Shirmel Melia said was so right, the original allocation of only thirty was needed, but two hundred people were needed to spend it, which was naturally not enough, which required everyone to sell indulgences or something, and engage in some projects to increase income.

Although Schillelia accurately grasped everyone's thoughts, if she was planning to roll up her sleeves and make drastic layoffs, then she would have to fight to the end.

We all know that bloated institutions are a big problem facing the Holy See now, and this has given rise to many stubborn diseases of the Holy See, but everyone knows that this bloated institution cannot be reduced, and it is impossible to prevent it from continuing to expand.

You know, although those guys just eat and don't work all day long, and they are always dangling in front of their eyes, which makes people hate to kick them a few times, but none of these second ancestors who just take money and don't work are not related to themselves.

And there are many nepotism such as brother-in-law party and sister-in-law party. It's extremely cumbersome to deal with.

As there are more and more second wives and three mothers, these brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law will also grow in geometric progression.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Shilmelia smiled and said, "But don't worry, if I become the Pope, I will never do anything to them." ”

Everyone immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

If nothing else, this show of grace alone is enough to increase everyone's favorability for her by thirty points.

Lorraine, still dressed as a squire, stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching Hilmelia speak to the cardinals like a bear.

By this time, he had already appeared, because Schillelia's words were to the point, and they were very reasonable. Now the archbishops are dancing to the beat of her dance steps.

At this time, someone has already made a mistake, if it is allowed to continue, maybe, the primary election alone will have made Shirmel Melia a sure winner.

Therefore, he hurriedly stood up, wanting to make trouble with Shilmelia. But then he was stopped by the people next to him.

After all, what Schillelia said was extremely important, and it accurately hit the key issue in everyone's minds, and it was related to their own wallets.

And when it comes to wallets, there's no one who doesn't take it seriously.

Why do you fight desperately with your colleagues, why do you fight so hard to climb up, it's not all because the higher the position, the more comfortable it is to hold money.

Schilla stretched out her fair index finger and said, "Since we want to increase our income, but we can't throttle our expenses, then there is only one way left, and that is open source." Broaden your financial resources"

Someone finally couldn't bear it anymore, knowing that he must no longer let this girl control the situation on the field, and immediately said in a loud voice: "It's easy for you to say, but how to expand the source of wealth? It's not that we blow it, we have thought of all the ways we can think of, is it also like Archbishop Wesley to increase the indulgences, or let everyone all push the cart to the street to sell vegetables?"

This is a good idea, and it seems that the price of vegetables has risen again. ”

His words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

But this also annoyed one person

"Order, order" Obakhim unceremoniously knocked on the wooden clames in his hand and cried out in a loud voice, "Thor, I warn you, this is the Great Council of Light. If you do not comply with the rules of the meeting, you will be expelled from the Assembly."

This is too much

Even some referees of Chinese football, who are invincible in the world, have not been so biased.

This is blowing a black whistle in front of everyone

Two days ago, when everyone had a meeting together, they broke their heads, and this old guy sat on the rostrum and didn't lift his eyelids. There is wood, there is it

And now, just two sentences of coaxing, he screamed violently, to give himself a box lunch.

This is too bullying, there is wood

The cardinal's cheeks were immediately angry, and his eyes were on fire.

Obakhim also looked at him coldly, holding the wooden gas in his right hand, and gently slammed it into the palm of his left hand for a while. If you have another word, try to see if I will immediately seal your account

Someone next to him hurriedly pulled Nathor to sit down.

Obakhim is a notoriously old rascal, and if he pisses him off, he won't care what you do, and will definitely fight you to the end. He just put on a shameless look, what can you do with him?

At this time, everyone was silent, and then said: "Regarding open source, my construction is also extremely simple, that is, while attaching importance to agriculture, vigorously develop industry and commerce. When the local economy prospers and the economy expands, our profit wallets will naturally bulge. ”

Everyone's eyes immediately flashed with disdain, everyone has heard a lot of this kind of cliché, just like not saying it, no matter which empire it is, as long as the new prime minister comes to power, what kind of inaugural speech is made, opening his mouth is basically this set. It never changes.

As long as he was fine, he squatted at the door of the government, listened to it eight times for a penny, and took a lunch with him.

Everyone knows that these words are just that.

It's just that, despite everyone's dissatisfaction, there is Obakhim there staring at everyone like a wolf, so everyone can't help but make no noise.

Schilla's words changed and she said, "Gentlemen, I don't understand, what do you think? Where there is a town, there is our church.

We have a well-developed intelligence network, and the flow of information is smooth and fast.

We have a strong military backing, and we have hundreds of millions of loyal believers.

But all of you are guarding such a treasure mountain all day long, living by collecting rent, or going down to treat the common people. Or officiate at a wedding funeral and receive two red envelopes.

But if you charge two dollars slightly, it will be said that it is a sky-high fee, and you will be scolded by them for the eighteen lifetimes of your ancestors, are you comfortable living this kind of life?"

Everyone listened to her accusation, and they were all embarrassed for a while.

Some people have a weak heart, and they can't help but defend in a low voice: "Now that the economy is in a recession, it is normal for everyone to not drag their families and bring their families, and life is not very easy......"

Someone else had already come to his senses and asked in a loud voice, "Then may I ask Archbishop Shilmelia, is there anything you can do?"

Shirmel Melia put her hands behind her back, and then said proudly: "This method is very simple, let's open a bank"

At this time, I saw the level of these cardinals.

Many people immediately realized that they slapped their foreheads heavily

Some people are still confused.

Others were smiling and eagerly snapping their fingers and starting to calculate profits.

Others were gloomy and suspicious.

Someone whispered, "Is it possible to open a bank?"

Like a teacher teaching arithmetic to her five-year-old friends, Schillea patiently asked, "Why can't it be?"

Empires can set up their own banking systems, so why can't we?

We have branches throughout the Big 6. It's easy to build an equally large bank branch.

We have a well-developed intelligence system that can be used to provide a perfect service to those customers. So that they don't even have to carry a penny, just sign a check, and they can travel all over the Big 6.

We have strong military backing and believe that no one will dare to rob our bank and use our crooked brains.

Finally, we have hundreds of millions of faithful believers.

As long as God the Father is here, our credit will not fail"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads. This is a bank

Moreover, since the Holy See was not subject to the native imperial government, even the Imperial Treasury could be completely ignored.

What's more, although everyone has not secretly lent usury in the past, they have also accumulated a certain amount of experience.

Moreover, usury is to lend money, and opening a bank is also to lend money, but the nature of the two is completely different.

This is like robbery, robbers used to rob money, it was a crime, but officers and soldiers ran to rob things, it was called levy, and it was justified.

But there are still some people who have some doubts. said: "We don't have much experience in opening a bank." What if someone takes advantage of the loophole and reverses the account?"

Someone from Shirmel Le asked this question, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Excellency, your question is very good. ”

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to the other party.

It's like politicians going to the streets to shake hands and talk to ordinary people for votes, and pull their votes in this cordial way. This polite gesture immediately won the favor of the other party.

The cardinal decided secretly in his heart that he would vote for her if he had the chance

Shirmel Lia paused for a moment, then said, "I think you all know about the Flying Eagle Group, right?"

Flying Eagle Bank Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Flying Eagle Group, has abundant funds and huge assets. It is one of the top 10 banking companies in the world and one of the world's top 500 companies.

Moreover, its performance is good, the benefits are high, the risk and the return rate are amazing. Known as the most profitable company in the world.

What's more, it also has a modern management team, as well as the world's most advanced technology. ”

When everyone heard this, they were about to drool for a while.

Everyone here, who doesn't know the Flying Eagle Group?

That company fattened the runny butter. It is said that their company's income is like a Tiber River flowing with gold, rushing day and night.

Shirmel smiled lightly and said, "And I happen to be one of the directors of this company.

If you elect me as the next pope, then I am well placed to convince the Eagle Bank to take a stake and build the bank of the Holy See with us.

In this way, with the help of their funds and personnel, everyone only needs to pay a small part of the money. In a very short period of time, the preparation of the bank can be completed and the bank can be opened for business. ”

Countless glittering gold coins began to flash in the eyes of the crowd. It turns out that there are still such easy and wonderful things in the world where you can make money

This is equivalent to saying that everyone doesn't have to worry about anything. As long as you put up a name, and then you can wait for the bank to open, and then the large amount of gold coins will line up by themselves, step forward, shout the slogan of 'one-two-one', and enter their wallets.

"We can also use the banks to lend money to the craftsmen of the city, to the farmers who are about to go bankrupt. Help them expand their production, or get through it. Revive the local economy.

In this way, we not only make money, but also get their gratitude. Strengthen the position of our Holy See in secular society.

Let our Holy See have a better tomorrow. ”

When she finished, she stopped.

There was silence in the church, and no one spoke.

Schilla waited for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, if someone objected, then they should speak out, and if someone agreed, they should also applaud loudly. What's going on with this silence?

Just when she felt a little uneasy. At this time, there were bits and pieces of applause, and then more people joined in. The applause grew louder and louder.

The last tidal wave of applause echoed through the vaults of the church like thunder.

Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief at the moment: this first level was passed

He looked at the faint gloomy faces of several groups of people in the dim light, looked at Shilmelia, and couldn't help but continue to think: Correspondingly, the road behind will be more difficult if you continue to walk
