Chapter 293: Controversy in the Sacred Chamber (Part II)

"But that would cost a lot of money......"

Bishop Pelonandi had finished speaking, and one of the bishops stood up, "And we don't have so many jobs to introduce to them, I know it's right for them to be able to support themselves, but we don't have enough resources at our disposal, even if we use all the financial resources of the church, we can't help everyone." ”

"We can create more jobs. ”

As soon as the bishop finished speaking, Bishop Pelonandi took over, apparently prepared.

The bishop pondered for a moment and said to the god of radiance, who was sitting at the top: "My lord, I would like to apply to argue with Bishop Pelonandi. ”

The God of Radiance nodded, "Granted." ”

After receiving permission, the bishop looked at Bishop Pelonandi, "Bishop Pelonandi, I don't know what you see in the Sadwind Leader, why it has affected you so much, but even if we do our best to help those who need to help, what about the others, those who depend on our church for survival?"

"Our church is the number one church in the world, every move is involved, we represent not only ourselves, but also others!"

The others nodded, including Bishop Pelonandi, who agreed with what the bishop said.

However, Bishop Pelonandi did not like such a tone!

"Bishop Ofro...... paused, and Bishop Pelonandi pondered before he spoke: "I want to ask you not to just look at the world, can you take a look at the things around you?"

Bishop Ofro pursed his lips, "...... What do you mean by that?"

"It's true that our church is a behemoth, we care about the order of the world, we care about justice in the world β€” for hundreds of thousands of years! But the world ......."

Bishop Pelonandi shook his head, "It has never changed!"

"When the Church was born, it was just people begging for a barrier against chaos and brutality, and we did it, and people just wanted to protect their own happiness – their families, their villages, and we only existed to protect people. But unconsciously, the church developed, all kinds of ideas began to collide, the church gradually became stronger, we began to crusade everywhere against evil, suppressed chaos, and then slowly, we began to maintain the order of the world, save the world from danger, and take these responsibilities on our shoulders. ”

"However, since when has it become the norm for people to bow down when facing us, and we only care about maintaining order, but we can't even continue to protect the initial little happiness?"

Bishop Ofro was silent, and the others followed suit.

"Of course, you can say that the original glory was created by us together with the sages and nobles, and the current nobles are a bunch of waste, a bunch of greedy misers......"

Bishop Pelonandi sighed, "But did you ever think that the responsibility lies not only with the nobles, but also with us?"

When human beings have not yet developed to this extent, a small village can be self-sufficient, at least no one will starve to death in the years when there is no drought and famine, and now human society has slowly developed, but not only 'starvation to death', other freezing death, suicide, murder, murder and other various ways of death have appeared.

Is it just because the human heart has become complicated?

"There is no doubt that our church is one of the founders of the existing order, but it is our mistake that as time goes on, society progresses, people's needs grow, we do not change much!"

The argument was not heated, both sides had their own opinions, and both tried to convince each other, although it was the god of radiance who made the final decision, but if they could convince each other here, then the god of light would favor the side that convinces people with reason.

The God of Radiance was not a self-serving deity, especially after experiencing the catastrophe of the fall of the gods, he understood that the wisdom of mortals should not be underestimated, and the regular meeting once a month was to summarize the gains and losses of the month, and to brainstorm ways to solve those difficult problems.

"We should not only look at the world, but also pay attention to the people's livelihood, without those seemingly ordinary people, it will be difficult for the front-line fighting regiments to get supplies, without them, we will not even be able to grow crops well. Like the paper mills that have already been built, we should learn from Wynder City, create more jobs, and prioritize recruiting poor people who don't have enough to eat. ”

Bishop Pelonandi describes the future in a straightforward but hopeless way: "We all know that there are bandits who become robbers because they don't have enough to eat, in order not to starve to death, these people's hearts are black, and they are not worth saving, but we can save those who are like them, if people are able to eat enough, get used to a peaceful life, and the cost of crime has greatly increased, then how many people will choose to become robbers?" If they could support themselves through work, how many people would choose to become thieves?"

"Don't forget, we are the church, 'the lord rules the body, the gods guide the soul', if we build schools and teach our descendants from childhood what to do and what not to do, what will the future of society become?"

Everyone present was deep in thought.

There is no doubt that they were all touched by the words of Bishop Pelonandi, and that kind of future is indeed what they want.

"Bishop Pelonandi, if we pay attention to people's livelihood and the world, do we have so much energy and financial resources?"

The questioner was Bishop Ofro, who could frankly admit that he was moved by Bishop Pelonandi's vision of the future and began to seriously consider the possibility of its success, which is why he asked the question.

"Yes!"

Bishop Pelonandi guided the party from afar, "It's like the Sadwind Leader - at first Winde City was just an ordinary small city, and the Sadwind Leader was also poor, but with the efforts of the head maid, they succeeded, which is an irreproducible miracle, but compared to them, we Lolandal are very poor?"

"We don't lack manpower, we don't lack financial resources, although we don't have as many whimsical ideas as the head maid, but there are so many of us, is it really not as good as her?"

"The system that the head maid built in Wende City and the Sorrowful Wind Territory is not so much her own creation, but more like the kind of writing she spread in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, she brought it to this world from another world, and now, I led a team to study in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, brought back this management system, and brought back a lot of means of production, with these, can't we make people rich?"

After listening to Bishop Pelonandi's words, many elders and bishops couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Perhaps none of the people present could be as good as the head maid, but if they were united and used the wisdom of the group, they would think they would be no worse than the head maid.

'Lolandal' is the child they are proud of, and the 'Holy City', which has been watered by generations of people, how can it be worse than Windcity?

"We should put down our shelves and bow our heads, for our Lord teaches us 'humility,' not 'pride.' Don't think about saving all the poor people in the world at once, it's too difficult, if we first save the poor people who are right now, many people can be saved, and then slowly broaden our horizons, until finally, really face the whole world, this is what we should do. ”

After speaking, Bishop Pelonandi bowed slightly to the god of radiance, "My lord, these are the things I want to say in this meeting. ”

The time has come to decide, and everyone present looks at the God of Radianceβ€”

"That's a good proposal, do you have anything else to add?"

The God of Radiance smiled gently, "If not, so be it!"

Obviously, the god of radiance also agrees with what Bishop Pelonandi said.
