A constant stream of people is in front of the temple.

After the temple was unveiled, incense was lit here. Under Chen Daolin's instructions, the temple began to burn incense day and night.

There is no custom of burning incense and praying to the gods in the Roland Continent, but for Chen Daolin, it is not difficult to make such a thing as "incense". And under his intentional guidance, burning incense and worshiping God has become a new thing in the gathering place here.

The traditional belief of the Roland people in the Temple of Light only has a prayer ceremony, but there is no ritual of burning incense and worshiping, Chen Daolin's "transplantation and grafting", I have to say, aroused the curiosity of many people.

These days, every day, there will be believers going to the temple to burn incense and pray for the otherworldly version of Second Brother Guan, so that the incense in this temple of the True Monarch Temple is endless.

In the beginning, only those believers and servants would come to burn incense, but later, it was inevitable that some local artisan families, after hearsay, out of awe, curiosity, yearning, and many other psychology, also came to the temple to pray and burn incense.

Chen Daolin originally just ordered people to make a small amount of incense and candles in front of the temple to confess that they were used to burn incense at will, but he didn't expect that later there were more people who burned incense, and the incense candles were greatly insufficient, so he had to ask someone to make another batch of them.

However, what satisfied Chen Daolin was that although there were many people who came to the temple to burn incense and pray, many of them just came out of curiosity. But it is clear that the Roland people still have the fear of God, and no one takes advantage of the chaos to take the incense and candles home for their own use - especially the candles. The quality of the candles made in Chen Daolin's workshop here is so good that even businessmen who have seen these candles have asked to buy them from Chen Daolin.

Chen Daolin would go to the temple every night, and as the Pope and High Priest, he, the chief priest, naturally had to lead by example.

Every night when he came to pray and burn incense, he would attract onlookers from the people around him. Chen Daolin has long been accustomed to such a scene.

Chen Daolin was very satisfied with this, which proved that his subtle religious influence on these tens of thousands of people was still very successful.

It seems that the heat is about the same. It's time to launch your own second step of religious expansion!

In full view. Chen Daolin slowly walked into the temple with a sacred and awe-inspiring expression, stood in the middle of the statue in front of the statue, and bowed to the statue of Guan Gong above. Then he took three sticks of incense from the werewolf Chuck from the side of him. Ignited the ...... with his own hands

In the process of burning incense and praying. It was obvious that the crowd of onlookers around them also fell silent, no one spoke loudly, and the eyes that looked at the "Pope" were obviously a little awe-inspiring.

Chen Daolin stood there. Burning incense and praying, in fact, he was silently thinking about his own plan in his heart.

The second step of religious expansion is to pull all the tens of thousands of people here into their own religion as much as possible!

Chen Daolin knew very well that the time for the establishment of his Peerless Martial God Sect was too short, and he did not have time to follow the process of Christianity or Buddhism slowly propagating doctrines and slowly mythologizing itself.

If you want to rise in the shortest possible time, the only feasible way is to...... Tempt them with profit!

For the tens of thousands of people who were recruited by himself, Chen Daolin knew very well that he could not wipe out all of them. In this world, there are always wise people who exist, and there are always atheists who do not believe in God.

Fortunately, Chen Daolin comes from reality, and he has many templates from history books that can be used to emulate.

In the first stage, a small number of Protestants selected by him had begun to gradually establish a certain prestige among the crowd, especially Chen Daolin deliberately learned the practice of one guy: Zhang Jiao in the late Han Dynasty.

Of course, the sky should be dead and the yellow sky should stand, and this kind of thing cannot be learned for the time being. Chen Daolin learned the routine of water curing diseases, expanding influence, and buying people's hearts.

He was a magician and proficient in pharmacy, so in these days, after the temple was unveiled, in addition to burning incense and praying, it also played an important role in openly accepting the sick in the gathering place!

Whether you are accidentally injured on the construction site, or some minor ailments such as headache, brain fever, cold and flu, you can run to the temple for help.

As long as you kowtow a few times to the statue of Guan Gong and burn a stick of incense, then in the temple, there will be a divine servant who will accept you and give you a free copy of the commonly used medicine.

Of course, only those Protestants, or members of the family of the servants of God, who are seriously ill, can call in the senior clergy of the church, that is, Lord Darlingchan, to personally go to the clinic for treatment. Chen Daolin's treatment techniques and pharmacy skills, basically ordinary patients are also eliminated from the disease.

Although some incurable diseases are difficult to cure in the short term, a treatment can be performed to alleviate a lot of results immediately.

This time, the unintentional expansion of the weight in people's hearts!

Everyone gets sick, and in this kind of feudal world, the level of medicine is undoubtedly very low, especially in a sparsely populated and backward area like the northwest, where only those densely populated towns have the existence of doctors.

These days, the "Fu Shui" of the Warrior God has spread among the crowd and is said to cure many minor ailments such as headaches and brain fever.

Of course, the ingredients of this rune water, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than some banlan root fat sea and the like, and it is quite effective in treating some simple colds and coughs.

As for the next stage, Chen Daolin's idea is very clear, to tempt these people with greater benefits!

You must know that the people who can be recruited by Chen Daolin and bring their families here with him to open up the wasteland are some people living on the poverty line!

Who would want to take his family and children to follow him away from the city to such a place?

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of the tens of thousands of people recruited by Chen Daolin are "proletarians"!

What is the greatest characteristic of the proletarian? Of course, it is the strong hope for "proletarianism."

As an aside, in the real world. In the founding process of the Celestial Empire, why did the slogan "communism" attract countless people to follow?

Quite simply, at that time, ninety percent of the people in the Celestial Empire were proletarians. Proletarians, anyway, they are proletarians, so of course they can't ask for someone else's property.

If you don't believe me, you ask, how many of those who are themselves "propertied people" are willing to run away to communize with others?

Since the needs of the proletarians are to become propertied people, then Chen Daolin has a way!

His second phase of religious expansion. It's actually quite simple.

He's waiting.

Wait until the time of autumn. After the first batch of corn test plots are ripe and harvested, then at least on their own territory, grain will no longer be a material to be imported and purchased.

There are crops suitable for this place, and Chen Daolin still has a large area of land in his hands......

One of the upcoming plans for Chen Daolin is:

Teaching property!

He will set aside at least 2,000 acres of arable land. As the "cult property" of the Warrior God Cult!

He will be publicly announced to everyone. The cult property will be the common property of all the cultists of the Warrior God Cult!

As long as you enter the Peerless Martial God Sect. Then everyone can get a piece of "religious land", and the ownership of the religious field belongs to the church, but the right to cultivate belongs to the believers who are assigned to the field. The congregation is responsible for farming, and it is enough to know that a small portion of the income needs to be handed over to the church.

Chen Daolin has no doubt that this practice will cause a sensation to the tens of thousands of proletarians under his command!

He would never underestimate the desire of a civilized, agrarian and civilized man for land!!

As soon as you hear about joining the church, you can get a share of the land...... Even if the ownership belongs to the church and you can only farm, it will definitely attract countless people to break their heads and join their own church!

And as long as you come in! and want to get the field, then you have to obey the rules of my Peerless Martial God Sect!!

People are like that, you don't care about anything when you don't have anything.

But once you have it, you will be willing to make a lot of sacrifices and compromises and work hard in order to keep what you have!

And at this time, if someone wants to take away what you have, then, many people will dare to fight hard!!

With the yield of 1,000 catties per mu of corn, three acres of land is enough to feed an ordinary family, and there is still a surplus!

Chen Daolin is going to take out 2,000 acres of land, which is enough to recruit six or seven hundred households, and roughly calculated, that is, at least three or five thousand people!

In this way, Chen Daolin has the confidence that half of the 10,000 people under his command will become staunch supporters and supporters of the Peerless Martial God Sect! Even if they may not believe in God, in order to protect the land and interests they have obtained, they will become resolute defenders of the Peerless Martial God Sect!!

And there are still a lot of idle wasteland here, Chen Daolin has sent people to observe everywhere, and there are still many places where the land is also suitable for burning waste land and turning it into cultivated land.

At that time, as his power expands, he can continue to slowly buy land from the city guard government of Rova City.

At that time, when a large number of proletarians joined the Wushuang Martial God Sect and became "propertied people", the Wushuang Martial God Sect will really gain a firm foothold in the northwest place!

Whoever wants to attack their Peerless Martial God Sect will face a large group of believers who swear to defend their "Sect Property" to the death!

"Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. ”

Chen Daolin stood in front of the statue of Guan Gong and smiled to himself in a low voice.

......

When walking out of the temple, all the crowds along the way will automatically separate to the two sides, make way of the middle road, make a respectful gesture to the "high priest" who strolls over, and some people will bend down to salute Chen Daolin from a distance.

Chen Daolin's heart couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.

When he returned to his residence, he immediately saw Laudel sitting in the hall, discussing something with Baron Pierre.

Seeing Chen Daolin walk in, Luo Dale immediately jumped up and ran towards Chen Daolin, with an excited expression on his face, he grabbed Chen Daolin's sleeves with both hands, and said quickly: "Darling, you came just in time, I thought of a good idea!"

"What's a good idea?" Chen Daolin sat down on the chair in the middle and poured himself a glass of water. The little maid next to her had already walked over, picked up a fan and stood beside Chen Daolin to fan him.

"Aren't you going to get a school?" Lordelle laughed, "I thought." Since we want to buy people's hearts, we might as well do it thoroughly! How about we get another church school? Let all believers who profess our religion have their children enrolled in church schools for free and teach them to read and write...... In this way, there will definitely be many people who will be grateful to you!"

Chen Daolin smiled slightly, his expression did not change much, and he glanced at Luo Daer: "You came up with this yourself?"

Rodelle smiled a little embarrassedly: "I...... I have read the historical materials of the rise of the tulip family, and Du Wei did this kind of thing when he was in the territory of the tulip family in the northwest and created the situation, but the one he got is called ethnography. We can make it a church school. It's the same thing......"

Chen Daolin was silent for a while, glanced at Luo Daer, and then said slowly: "The idea is good, but for the time being...... There is no rush to do this. ”

"Why?" said Rodelle, a little dissatisfied. The little girl rarely came up with a good idea. It's a time of excitement. didn't want to be splashed cold water directly by Chen Daolin, so he was a little unwilling: "Isn't this idea good?"

"The idea is good, but the time has not yet come. Chen Daolin shook his head. He sighed, knowing that it would not be good to discourage Rodelle's enthusiasm, so he had to patiently explain it to her.

"First of all, our business is still very small, looking at 10,000 people, but in fact, only one-third of the people bring their families with them, and I have counted the proportion of the population composition of these people, and there are less than 200 underage children. So, for the time being, it's not a matter of urgency to get a church school.

Second, these people are just attracted to us now, but they don't really come to us. The result of building a school is to win their favor -- as soon as we start the project of 'teaching the field,' it will be enough to make them come back to us! And it will be the kind that will completely turn to us. Under such circumstances, it is actually dispensable to get a church school to win that little favor.

Third, don't worry, I'm not saying you have a bad idea. On the contrary, your idea is good. However, my idea is that the purpose of building a church school is not only to win the favor of these people! The greatest significance of the existence of a church school is to instill our doctrine and concepts in the next generation! At the same time, it will cultivate a group of all kinds of talents that I will need in the future! Therefore, this school must not just gather a group of children at random and teach them to read and write! I have a very detailed plan for this school in the future! This thing must be done, and it must be done big and well! I will consider this as a key plan for me to train future talents. But it's not yet time! At least we haven't come up with a complete set of systematic religious doctrines ourselves, or to put it more bluntly, we don't have our own clear 'isms,' you know? When we have something that has taken shape, we can take it out and instill it in others! And then there's the fact that I want to train all kinds of talents, so I need people from all kinds of fields to be teachers! This matter, wait, in the near future, I will get a group of very good people to come and become teachers. When the time comes...... Maybe our church school can produce magicians. ”

Cultivating a magician?

"You...... You don't want to make a magic school, do you?" said Rodelle's eyes.

Chen Daolin pursed his lips: "Magic...... Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that everyone has been pretending to be mysterious all along. Cultivating Magical Talents...... Is it difficult? I don't see it. ”

Although Luo Daer was still a little dissatisfied, Chen Daolin was finally convinced.

Then both Laudel and Baron Pierre left, and Chen Daolin also returned to his room to rest.

He closed the door, went into his bedroom, took off his robe and hung it on the wall, went to his desk again, pulled out a book on pharmacy from the shelf, and lay down on a chaise longue, snapped his fingers, and a candle burned on the shelf beside the chaise longue.

Lying on the recliner and turning a few pages of the book, Chen Daolin felt that his whole body was relaxed.

It's one of the few things he's enjoyed. There is no entertainment in this world, and if you can't warm the kang head with your wife and children at night, then you only have time to read books and play.

After Chen Daolin turned a few pages of the book, he was looking at it......

Suddenly, a voice fell in his ears!

As soon as he heard this voice, Chen Daolin's whole person was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on! The hairs on his whole body suddenly stood up, and he jumped up from the recliner with a pop!

In the room, behind my desk, I don't know when, there was already one more person!!

The man sat behind his desk, holding a paper cutter on his desk, playing with it casually.

His figure seemed a little blurred in the dim candlelight. Even Chen Daolin, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly......

And this person, an understatement fell into Chen Daolin's ears, this sentence is......

"What Du Wei did back then, I didn't expect someone to want to do it again......"
