Chapter 102: Their Plans (Recommend and Favorite)
The compartments of the temple for official business reveal the smell of incorruptibility, the walls are full of bookshelves, the bookshelves are stuffed with ancient books of the sages studying various prayers, the sunlight from the skylight on the roof fills the cover of the ancient books, a warm golden yellow, a few mischievous squirrels chase and play among the bookshelves, and occasionally jump over the head of the old man under the skylight.
The priest sat at the table, looking at the stack of envelopes on the table and shaking his head.
The letters are postmarked with the Northern Province.
Obviously, the letters were sent from that place.
"Teacher, this is the tea that the Lord of Bright Field sent with the letter, and it has already been brewed. The middle-aged priest walked in with a teacup, and when he saw Dante there, he shook his head and sighed, and chuckled: "Is Miss Anna giving you another problem?"
"Anna doesn't know what ecstasy soup she was poured by Chang Hao, and now she wants 500 craftsmen from our temple. The priest took the teacup and sighed: "This leaf from the East really has a kind of magic that makes people drink more and more. ”
"500 craftsmen?" the middle-aged priest was slightly stunned, "I remember that His Majesty just recruited 200 Minotaur craftsmen of the Bill clan to go to the Bright Field some time ago, right?"
"Yes, a full 200 good Bill Minotaur craftsmen, no one who has an appetite can eat this feast. The priest Dante was angry with himself: "I think Chang Hao, this stinky boy, is because he has already asked for 200 craftsmen from His Majesty, and he is sure that His Majesty will not agree to his request again, so this time he directly threw the problem to our temple, and this kid's abacus is really clear enough!"
"Look at the tone of your voice, the priest, it seems that you are not very angry with the lord. The middle-aged priest smiled softly.
"That young man has the ability, this defeat of the two mercenary groups of the Human Empire who came to provoke has given us the face of the orc kingdom and boosted morale, and it is only natural that he will ask us for some help in terms of materials and personnel. "The priest of Dante, who knew Chang Hao's origin, blew like his own son-in-law.
"500 craftsmen is a lot, but it's not impossible to get together. The middle-aged priest bowed his head and thought for a while, and said: "Recently, the news of Guangye's defeat of the two major mercenary groups of the Human Empire has been spreading, and militia organizations and individuals in many places are eager to join the front line. In this environment, as long as we appoint the priests with the right eloquence to go down to publicize and guide, we can attract a large number of high-quality militiamen and craftsmen to send them to Guangmingye, which is also a merit that cannot be ignored in our temple. ”
"It's just that Teacher, our temple's official funds for this year are not very sufficient. The smile on the middle-aged priest's face retracted, and he walked to Dante's side and said in a low voice: "Raymond and Maier have received the highest share of public funds over the years in the name of the army's need for war sacrifice this year, and the teacher has been left to you very..."
Raymond and Meier, as the other two main priests of the temple, are slightly inferior in fame to Dante, a legendary priest who has experienced sea and land battles, but the two main priests from the noble circle have advantages that Dante's "grassroots" priests do not have.
Strong wrists and wide connections.
With these two advantages, Raymond and Maier easily opened up all the nodes of the temple, council, and other functional institutions, and all kinds of resources would naturally be tilted towards them. Although this situation is not something that everyone wants to see, it has been proven that there is no person or group in the orc kingdom that can stand on the opposite side of the chain of interests composed of hundreds of famous nobles.
Not even His Majesty the King and the Legendary Priest.
"I know this question, and His Majesty spoke to me privately the last time he held a winter battle meeting in Pompeii. The priest Dante put an open letter in the middle-aged priest's hand, "Originally, this situation will have a certain impact on our recent actions, but the young lord doesn't know if it is an unknown prophet who has invisibly helped us solve this big trouble, you can read this letter for yourself." ”
The middle-aged priest took the letter suspiciously, read the content quickly, and when he saw the long list of zeros representing the numbers at the end of the letter, he couldn't help but exclaim: "800,000 gold coins?!
The economic income of the northern provinces depends on traditional animal husbandry within a few dozen miles of the city of Kotav, and it is the lowest fiscal revenue of the five provinces. The financial revenue of the Northern Province in a quarter is only more than 600,000 gold coins, and the self-made Lord of the Bright Wild who set foot on the Varonian Great Wasteland has only been developing for half a year, and he can actually make a generous move to this point? Oh, the gods are above~
"This kid probably sold all the spoils to the nobles who wanted to make a fortune, and he must have knocked a lot of bamboo from the Spencer family, and he became rich overnight. "Dante's presiding priest is worthy of old age, and he breaks through the mystery with one word.
"Chang Hao is worthy of being the person you fancy Teacher, although he has made great achievements and has a lot of money, he has never forgotten you, Teacher. The letter said that 800,000 gold coins were already on their way to the temple, and they would arrive in half a month. At that point, your plan will finally be ready to go. The middle-aged priest put down the letter, and his affection for the Bright Field Lord who he had never met was greatly increased, but when he talked about the so-called "plan", the originally relaxed look on his face subconsciously became serious.
800,000 gold coins, which is much more than the funds received by Priest Raymond and Priest Maier alone, which is enough to ensure that the initial operation of the plan will not be hindered too much.
"The 800,000 gold coins that were sent in the snow are not for us, but in the end, the temple will do a lot of things. The priest smiled and smiled.
"See, Chang Hao said that he not only needs 500 craftsmen, but also needs us to help him find some fighters who are not afraid of heights, but the height and weight must not exceed the standard, and they must meet the standards he gave. The middle-aged priest paused and said, "I have to say that this 'talent plan' he proposed is very bold and attractive. In the current environment where the human empire is becoming more and more pressing, it is estimated that many people with lofty ideals will respond to his call, not to mention that he won the first victory of the kingdom in a hundred years. ”
The middle-aged priest said: "I have several students who are teaching staff at the Royal Military Academy, so I can ask them to find some officers in the academy who are interested in joining the front line. And as long as a small part of the 800,000 gold coins is taken out, you can cast a wide net and catch more fish, which just happens to give many new grassroots sacrifices a chance to exercise. ”
"He's trying to recruit people with special expertise from all over the country and give them the best training conditions so that they can gather and play under his command. ”
In the rising tea mist, Dante's gaze suddenly became deep, "There is an old saying in the East that heroes see the same thing. Our orc kingdom has gone through thousands of ups and downs, and those high-level nobles are still ignorant and short-sighted, even inferior to a child. ”
"The days of comfort have passed, and when humanity does one day put a butcher's knife around their necks, they will realize how hypocritical and fragile this so-called peace is. "The priest Dante looked in the direction of the capital, and his gaze was as calm as a windless lake.
That kind of eyes are full of the regret and helplessness of the old father looking at the bastard son.
"Chang Hao's 'talent plan' conflicts with our plan to some extent. Teacher, do we want to..."The middle-aged sacrifice stopped talking.
"No, his plan and ours don't matter who is more important, just look for the right person according to his wishes, fill out the attached thing called resume, and send it to him. The priest waved his hand and decided on the matter.
"But..."The middle-aged priest still wanted to say something, he knew that the teacher had worked all his life on that plan, and now that the funds were in place, the plan could start at any time, and there was no need to make any concessions here!
"You have to hear me clearly. The wrinkled face of the priest Dante seemed to stretch out a little, and he made a loud noise.
"Those self-righteous aristocratic forces think that they can use the entire orc kingdom as a chessboard, and Guangguang Ye as a chess piece on the chessboard. But they didn't know that the young lord of the bright field had no consciousness to be a pawn at all, and one day, he would jump out of this chessboard and cut off the hands of those who held the chess. ”
The middle-aged sacrificial robe was wet with cold sweat.
The priest solemnly put the letter in a drawer, bathed in the sunlight from the skylight, and sipped the rich tea, with a smile of relief on the corner of his mouth.
