Chapter 297: True Pig Killing Plate: The Nun Who Was Trapped
A week has passed since the end of the international conference at the Faros Lighthouse.
Colony of the Confederation of the Rhine, Brandenburg Cathedral.
Most of the religious clergy who used to be active throughout the Bantaan Islands like stragglers gathered here.
Everyone knew that once the Kingdom of Castile was victorious, it would choose the lay priests it had cultivated.
But the other two winners will definitely choose them in order to maintain their independence.
The eyes of the religious priests of the religious faith shimmered with holy light, and they were always ready to contribute their strength and even their lives to the sacred missionary cause.
And they also have a kind, pious, and loving "leader", because all of her are confident about the future.
"Mother Teresa, the Lord is with you."
"Good day, nun."
“”
Having just finished today's congregational prayer service, a group of religious priests in the Great Hall humbly greeted Teresa, who was presiding over the ceremony.
Even if you just say the last sentence, you can be very satisfied.
And nuns are also worthy of the name of mercy, whether the other party is mortal or transcendent, elderly or young.
"Christine, your devotion has touched the Lord, and the spirituality has begun to flourish, and the awakening can be completed in three days.
I have a little more fine spice here, and I want you to give you some of them, and I hope that you will make a greater contribution to the cause of the Lord after you become a transcendent being. ”
A nun named Christine has not felt such care for a long time, leaving her family and friends to serve a missionary mission.
After receiving a small bottle of spices like gold dust with both hands, he couldn't help but slightly red in his eyes and thanked him again and again:
"Thank you for your generosity, nun."
Teresa, who looked as delicate as a doll, had a holy light on her face and smiled softly at her:
"Don't thank me, it's the Lord's mercy that allows us to meet here. Piety to the Lord is the best reward for me. ”
Then he turned his head to a young man next to him and admonished:
"Francis, you contracted blood sucking disease when you first came to the Bantaan Islands, and you have not been well recovered for a long time, and I will not arrange for you to do manual work recently.
The portman's wife just needs a scribe to fill the family collection, and I have promised you to do so.
I'll give you an extra pound a month.
I hope that you will be able to study with peace of mind and become familiar with the Gospel of Creation before your spiritual awakening, so that you will not be able to satisfy the pre-knowledge of the ordained clergy in a hurry. ”
The young priest was grateful for the thoughtfulness of the nun and bowed deeply:
"Thank you for your concern, Mother Teresa."
Teresa, who was surrounded by everyone, did not have any impatience, and even knew everyone's situation well, and was extremely patient to solve their difficulties.
In this overseas land, far from home, give them spiritual or material encouragement and support.
With his kindness and his thinning wallet, he warmed every religious priest who gathered here.
For the sake of her ideals, the nuns are busy but willing.
After she was hit by her own "boomerang", a kind heart finally stopped being so evil and had a somewhat normal appearance.
With each encouragement, the light in Teresa's eyes brightened.
As if with God.
Obviously, everyone has their own pursuits.
The nun's ambition and obsession was to exercise the power given by the Creator to spread the glory of the Creator and ascend to heaven with glory after death.
When she was on board, she declared at the outset:
"The power exercised by our clergy is the dominion over the immortal souls of men.
Each of our clergy is worth more than anything in the world, whether it be gold, silver, or precious stones, or even more than the heavens we see from here.
The Creator has given us the power to bring people's souls into the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, both the mainlanders and the natives should respect and fear the Creator's messenger, obey God according to our instructions, and make all people obey God (chapter 192)! ”
Sequence Proverbs of the Temple Sequence: Be with God!
The series of ceremonies that promoted them to higher ranks were basically related to missions.
The more widely the Creator faith is spread, the more devout, fanatical, and righteous believers are cultivated, and the faster the promotion will be.
Their initial mission to hunt down the Wild Hunt had effectively failed, and they had not even seen a shadow of the Wild Hunt in the Bantaan Islands for months.
This time she was appointed to preside over colonial affairs, even if it was just to do dirty work and tiring work for those real related households during the development period, she must firmly seize this opportunity.
The small goal set is also to become the archbishop of this diocese and promote to the fifth-order legend!
Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared, and if she wants to seize them, she must prepare in advance and unite everyone who travels with her, just as Byron is doing now.
In fact, there is no essential difference between encircling clergy and encircling ordinary people.
According to the doctrine, they are not allowed to wear luxurious clothing and jewelry, but they must have a good weapon to defend the faith, right?
You can't indulge in enjoyment and advocate frugal penance, but you must always need the best spices for daily practice, right?
The simplest configuration for any first-order squire-level clergyman to go out on a mission requires at least a sterling silver or even a mythril cross, plus a traditional armor-piercing crossbow, right?
That's all money!
According to the calculation of the [Wild Hunting Servant] quasi-sword saint Herman, who has been with her for most of the day.
A transcendent monk who seems to be poor to the point of suffering on the surface secretly consumes resources and wealth several times higher than a rich merchant who eats and eats all day long.
Teresa, who often used private money to subsidize other clergy, was naturally under extremely heavy financial pressure.
And that's what Byron wants.
Click!
The door to Teresa's room closed again, blocking the fanatical gaze of the priests from the outside world, and the warm smile on the nun's face faded.
"Wealth, spices, and resources are only means to my ends, and they have never been my pursuit.
But just as a tree always has a process of rooting, germinating, flowering, and bearing fruit, even the gods cannot expect to have no process, as long as it bears fruit.
The premise of achieving a great career is to make money first!
Money is not everything, but no money is everything. ”
On the surface, she pretended to continue to pray in front of the silver cross, but her consciousness took the initiative to enter the virtual platform - Financial Street through a yellow diamond intermediate membership card.
This street, located on the line, has changed from the desertion of her first visit, and is bustling with at least a few thousand more newcomers.
Many already had the Red Diamond Junior on their heads, and a sense of urgency arose.
Her mind couldn't help but think back to what Mr. Wednesday had said:
"As you can see, this attempt to test my abilities has only just begun, and it's very rudimentary.
But I believe that soon it will become lively and the facilities and services will gradually improve.
Eventually, it will become a financial, commercial and logistics center that cannot be ignored by the entire human world.
By the way, start a fortune-making movement for a wave of people who can seize the opportunity, such as you! ”
Teresa had already sworn to her shriveled purse:
"We must rely on the first-mover advantage of our financial street number 001 customers to earn a mountain of gold and silver that can support us to realize our ideals."
But reality is always contrary to ideals.
She found that she had no business talents, and the biggest deal she ever made was a monopoly indulgence.
Even if she is given a large number of high-quality goods at low prices, there is no place and manpower to sell them for cash.
Until Teresa found an excellent investment business in Financial Street some time ago.
There is no need for complicated business acumen, just sufficient funds, keen eyesight and the blessing of the Creator to use money to make money "good deals".
That is
"It's half past nine, and the stock market is open!"
With a greeting on the financial street, a stock exchange in the core area that had just opened for a short time suddenly lit up with a phantom projection screen.
Many doors along the street opened one after another, and a stock market owner pushed the door out, and "Hulala" poured into the exchange.
Teresa is naturally among them.
Most of the fanaticism in the eyes of others is just pretending, but her fanaticism is unpretentious.
Relying on his petite stature to squeeze to the front of the line, he looked up and saw the eight stocks displayed on the phantom projection screen:
Code 000001: Hattings Vanguard Pilot Colonial Trading Company; Code 000002: Dutch Ocean Shipping Company; Code 0000003: Rhine Union vs. Bantaan Trading Joint Stock Company
A pair of eyes glittered with gold, not without envy:
"Although it is very profitable to buy stocks, it is the eight companies themselves that are the most profitable.
However, these people are really rich, and not long after the opening of the Financial Street, they bought a premium membership, which allows their projects or companies to be registered and listed on the Financial Street.
I don't know what I can do to package the church I lead and make money from all over the world.
When the victor chooses our religious priests to settle in the colony, I will try it, and then it will be called the 'Bantaan Cathedral Joint Stock Company'!"
I have a hunch that under my leadership Teresa, the company will open a few more peripheral sectors: vegetarian food, cross peripherals, clothing, and remote prayer will definitely make a lot of money! ”
The membership levels of the financial street are mainly divided into: red diamond, yellow diamond, and green diamond, which can also be simply understood as junior, intermediate, and senior members.
At the premium membership level, you are eligible to use this online platform to raise funds for your own enterprises or projects, share risks, and distribute dividends.
And this joint-stock mode of operation is not a very trendy thing, Teresa already has a concept in her head.
At the beginning of the Great Voyage, merchants with limited strength often had to look for partners and investors in order to raise funds for their business activities.
This is especially true for high-return, high-risk business activities like ocean shipping.
In order to facilitate fundraising and risk diversification, they distribute the shares of a one-time ocean trade to different investors according to the amount of capital contribution, and the investors share the profits and risks of the enterprise through capital contributions.
Today, the stock exchange market here has only expanded this model to add the tradable nature of the stock.
Whoever takes the money to buy a stock back, is the shareholder of the company, and takes out the stock to trade, this is the stock market.
By setting up a unique account in the financial street, you can buy and sell at will, and you can cash out your funds at any time without waiting for a months of shipping cycles.
Of course, it is inevitable that normal business behavior will become a naked speculative market.
Teresa didn't care about speculation or not, she just knew that this thing was coming in quickly.
After observing others for a few days, I saw that more and more people participated, and they all made a lot of money.
After hearing from a few members about the winning tricks such as "chasing the rise and killing the fall" and "selling high and buying low", I finally couldn't help but go down in person.
She also knew about the "great good" operation of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company to buy merchant ships, and even if she had some friendship with the [Sea Hunter], she still didn't buy dogs.
Instead listened to the grapevine of the "insiders" and bought the code 0000003: the Rheinland Union against Bantaan Trading Joint Stock Company.
On the first day, he invested all his hard-earned savings.
I listened to the advice of people to eat a full meal, and after buying it, it really rose sharply on the same day!
Because of the good news, the company carried the first silver shipment business of the Rhine League volcanic silver mine (Chapter 69), and the stock price rose by 20% in a single day (the stock market has no upper limit or lower limit when it first opened).
The next day, in accordance with the principle of "chasing the rise and killing the fall", she and a group of stockholders she knew continued to chase the investment.
The public money from the sale of indulgences in the past few months, as well as the savings of [Armed Priest] Brandon and Quasi-Sword Saint Herman were also invested.
Unsurprisingly, the stock price continued to rise.
On the third day, that is, yesterday, she couldn't withstand the agitation of several stockholders, and the financial pressure on her body became heavier and heavier.
All the public funds of the congregation in the books of his temporary management were pressed up.
I even borrowed the highest two times leverage that only intermediate members can borrow from the exchange, and get ready for a stud!
According to the expected increase, the fruits generated by the principal alone would be enough for her, a third-order transcendent, to work without eating or drinking for twenty years.
As long as this one wins, there is everything.
In a hot head, he has long forgotten the slogan of the exchange: "The stock market is risky, and investment needs to be cautious".
Keep your eyes open and just wait for the chart to update
Mr. Wednesday and Ms. Friday, each holding a glass of red wine, touched it lightly by the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the exchange.
Catherine looked at her younger brother who was "cooing" and bubbling with bad water, and her eyes that had quietly turned into golden vertical pupils were full of adoration:
"The rehearsal of the pig killing plate went well, you're going to get rich, Monopoly!"
Byron also smiled back:
"You're going to get rich, little rich woman!"
"In other words, although this is just a rehearsal virtual disk that has not been authorized by the company to issue shares, everything else is true, and there is also a stress reaction to the positive and negative news market.
Whether it is the staff or the atmosphere group, they all starred in their true colors, and even Teresa's income from the previous few days was a subsidy from our own pockets.
It's all real money that goes out every day.
However, there is no money to be made again, and there is no conscience"
The two sisters and brothers, who personally mobilized thousands of group performances and directed a good play, looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison:
"That's a lot more money. Boom"
"Now, too, it is time for Miss Nun to know the dangers of the world and the cruelty of the financial markets.
Come on, teach her how to be a man! ”
