053 The loneliness of the village chief

Hank left the temple in embarrassment, everyone knew that the divine punishment had worked, and then Liang Lidong was surprised to find that the system prompted him that more than a dozen shallow believers were born, and then he received 4 temple contribution points, as well as an increase in piety by 2.

A policy of softness alone is not a panacea, and a proper display of force will also win respect and recognition. Liang Lidong closed the temple management interface, he looked at the children below who had not fully recovered from their surprise, and the dozen or so adults sitting behind him who seemed a little confused, and said, "Next, I will teach you combat expertise...... In terms of weapons, I only know swordsmanship, magic, and my theoretical knowledge is okay. You have to think about which path you want to take. Of course, if you have confidence in yourself, you can learn magic swordsmanship together, but from what I have observed during this time, there are no such talents among you, or there are, but I haven't found out. ”

These words are suspected of belittling people, but no one present feels that there is anything wrong, the children here are all Liang Lidong's students, they have been getting along for more than half a year, they admire their teachers very much, even if Liang Lidong scolds them for being idiots, they will not have any complaints, not to mention that this is just kind guidance, that is, the tone is more direct, not tactful, but there is no malice.

"It usually takes a long time to develop combat expertise, and if your family conditions don't allow it, and if you don't have much patience on your own, I recommend not becoming a professional." Liang Lidong stood behind the stone table and slowly swept over the children below with a stern look: "In addition, professionals are easily involved in inexplicable battles, and those who are timid themselves, or who don't like fighting, are not recommended to become professionals." ”

Although the children did not dare to make serious eye contact with Liang Lidong, they lowered their heads one by one, but none of them left.

"Well, since you all have confidence in yourself, let's learn them all first." Liang Lidong sighed, and then said in a harmonious voice: "Kyle and Belin, the children will be handed over to you, teach them well, and if any of them are almost finished, bring them over to me." ”

Good!

I see!

Boys and girls answered almost at the same time. Liang Lidong looked at the people below and said, "Okay, that's the end of today's preaching." Before we disband, I would like to convey two things to you. First of all, the church of our temple of Waujin can be left to rest and pray here, whether you are a nobleman, a commoner, or even a beggar, because all beings are equal before God. Our only requirement is that you have to be quiet. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised, especially the adults in the back, they all knew that other temples would not let civilians enter and exit.

"The second point is that we in the Temple of Waujin can use magic to heal injuries and illnesses for everyone. Of course, you have to pay for it. According to the severity of the disease, it is divided into four classes, the most basic minor injuries and illnesses only cost five copper coins, and the most troublesome serious illnesses cost three gold coins, of course, I believe that ordinary civilians will never suffer from serious illnesses under the protection of the goddess, at most small injuries and small pains. ”

Liang Lidong looked at the stunned people below, smiled slightly, and didn't know how many people understood the meaning of his words. Because he will soon be able to exchange for divine magic, he plans to exchange it for exorcism...... Therefore, Liang Lidong plans to use the temple as a medical point to provide services to the people nearby, so that he can quickly accumulate the power of faith and expand the community of believers.

Exorcision is a very practical magic technique. At first glance, exorcism is auxiliary magic, but in essence, in this magical world, it plays a great role, not to mention that as long as it is a living being, it is possible to get disease, and then this magic can play a great role, and another reason is that a lot of magic can cause quite bad diseases, such as plague and so on...... Most of the physiological phenomena of diseases, or magical phenomena, can be solved by using exorcism, which is an excellent magic technique and one of the most common magic techniques at any time.

In addition, if the exorcism technique cannot solve the problem, Liang Lidong can also use the magic scroll to achieve the goal. Magic can indeed be counted as a kind of 'destruction', but at the same time it is also a kind of 'creation' and it can also be regarded as a kind of 'processing'. It's up to the user of the magic to see their abilities.

From now on, for ordinary people, no matter how serious the illness or exaggerated injury, they will be treated according to the 'minor injury and small pain', if it is a nobleman...... Hehe, the condition has increased by one level. The money of the nobles is easy to earn, and they are afraid of death, as long as they catch one, they will make every effort to 'pit', and use the money they get from the nobles to ordinary people, which can be regarded as a disguised 'robbing the rich and helping the poor'.

Speaking of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor', Liang Lidong remembered that he still had something to deal with, and after announcing the dissolution with his students, he went to the village chief's house alone. The old village chief sat in front of the door basking in the sun, and when he saw Liang Lidong, he was a little surprised: "Oh, Your Excellency Beta is not in charge of affairs in the temple, and he actually came to visit the old man and me, what a rare guest." ”

There was a hint of unhappiness in the old village chief's tone, thinking that he had been 'earned' by the temple for a hundred gold coins, the accumulation of several generations, so it was a little awkward. Liang Lidong can understand the old man's obsession with money, after all, it is the capital of his life.

"Don't be so polite." Liang Lidong smiled, with a hint of a smile on his face: "This time, I want to ask you to send the gold coins I stored in your house to the temple." The other thing is that there is something I want to do, but this thing requires your nod. ”

The old village chief sat up straight: "Oh, please say something." ”

"I'm going to tidy up Reed." Liang Lidong took out a few pieces of parchment from his space backpack: "This is the planning map I drew." I plan to pave all the roads in the village with stone slabs, then draw a few aqueducts, dig a large pit in the hill behind the village, build a sealed septic tank, and build a large toilet with separate men and women nearby. The village is now full of manure and water, and when it is cold, there is nothing, and when it is hot, it is easy to breed germs and become the source of disease. ”

The old village chief was not very interested in the parchment in Liang Lidong's hand, and he said slowly: "Your Excellency Beta, it is now time for spring ploughing, and we don't have much spare energy to do such a thing. If we don't do farm work, we won't have food to eat after autumn. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the temple pays." Liang Lidong put away the drawings and said word by word: "I only need young and strong laborers, at most twenty people." Each laborer who worked for one day would get seven copper coins. If they can complete the work I have assigned within five months, then each will be rewarded with an additional five silver coins. Goddess Waujin never takes advantage of others in doing things, she is the god of business, and she will only benefit each other, which is good for the temple and the villagers. ”

The old village chief sighed: "We have lived here for hundreds of years, and the village has always been like this, and it has never changed. Lord Beta, what would you do if I disagreed? ”

Liang Lidong just smiled and didn't speak.

"Looks like I have to agree." The old man said lonely, looking up at the sky, looking very attentively, as if there was a god in the sky that he worshipped.

Seeing that the old man was trapped in his own world, Liang Lidong didn't bother, turned around and walked away. Building a few stone paths for Reed Village is only the first step, and he plans to slowly 'distribute' the 2,000 gold coins to the villagers in the form of work, and the villagers will naturally come to the temple to receive blessings, alms, and even pay for physical treatment.

Then Liang Lidong distributed the money collected to the villagers in various ways. In this way, a small circle of wealth will be formed in the vicinity, and the work of the temple will be as close to infrastructure as possible, such as building bridges, roads, etc. With the passage of time, the reputation of the temple will get better and better, and the number of believers will naturally increase.

Of course, this is just Liang Lidong's idea, and he can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not.

The next day, after hearing the village chief's relay, many young and middle-aged people came to the gate of the temple to apply for jobs, and for the villagers, seven copper coins a day, even if they don't have food or shelter, are worth it. After all, two kilograms of brown rice are only worth three copper coins, and as soon as the beta priest speaks, each person is seven copper coins, which is already quite generous treatment.

The old village chief watched from afar, and all the young people in the village went to the gate of the temple to wait for Beta's selection. He picked up a dead leaf on the ground, and now he was like a fallen leaf, falling aside and no one noticing. Since Beta came to Reed Village, the village chief found that his appeal was getting worse day by day, and now the villagers only knew Beta as a spellcaster, and respected him, and told him everything through his children, and consulted with him, but they seemed to forget that Reed was the head of the village.

I'm old and out! The old village chief threw away the dead leaves in his hand and walked home slowly.
