Working Prophet

The Shuangxiu Church currently adopts the traditional missionary method.

The advantage of sending monks to go deep into every village and every household to preach is that the preachers can have full contact with the preaching targets and formulate corresponding strategies according to different goals and be flexible.

The disadvantage is that the efficiency is too low, and with the existing armed forces of Shuangxiujiao, it is impossible to equip each monk with enough guards.

In this case, Li Yu planned to change his mind and divide Luye into four parishes, and gather the villagers in the parish in one place every time he preached.

In this way, the monks who are on holiday do not need to go deep into each village. They can form groups of dozens of people to preach together, which greatly reduces the dangers they may encounter, and they can also share a guard to reduce the risk of black dogs. The security pressure of the guards.

"Well, your idea is good, but the question is how do you plan to gather people together?" Miss Rabbit asked, "I can give orders to those serfs to let them listen to your people's preaching, but only Limited to those estates owned by the family.

"And there is no such precedent in the Bratis continent, or I count this as a corvee..." Although the Arias family is now rich, Ilea still feels a little bit when she thinks of wasting so much manpower. Feeling distressed.

But then she saw Li Yu shaking his head and saying, "You don't have to do this. The effect of using orders is not good. On the contrary, it will easily arouse the resistance of the people in the territory, and it will be more difficult to preach.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, send eggs."

"Hand out eggs?"

"Eggs are just a metaphor, and eggs don't necessarily have to be given. You can also give out bread, ale, or pay directly. Please help me write a letter to Frodo, the vice-president of the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce, and ask him Recently, something has been unsalable in Black Rock City.

"If the price is attractive enough, we can consider purchasing in large quantities during the holidays and use them as gifts to distribute to the villagers who come to listen to the lecture."

The female lord was dumbfounded when she heard this, "Spend... spend money to preach? This, this is inappropriate."

In her impression, no church seemed to have done this kind of thing, but there were quite a few that raised funds through missionary missions. The Silver Moon Church often did this, saying it could please Pissia.

Noble families like the Arias family also pay an additional sum of money to the church every year to sponsor various celebrations and sacrifices to show their respect for the goddess.

This was the first time she had heard of the church paying believers.

Although the money spent was not the female lord's own money, she still subconsciously felt that it was not possible. This was too wasteful. Who could bear to lose a sum of money every time she preached?

"Actually, it's not much." Li Yu said, "I have calculated that if one person has half a piece of white bread, one hundred people will only get less than three golden lions, one thousand people will only get thirty golden lions, and ten thousand people will only get thirty golden lions." With just 300 golden lions, there are only over 20,000 people in Luye now."

"Six hundred gold coins a day, isn't that a lot?" Miss Rabbit was shocked when she didn't know.

Because they have been doing business together, she is relatively clear about Li Yu's family background.

The two of them sold pepper together, and they could only earn three hundred gold coins after a hard work. Li Yu got two hundred, and Miss Rabbit couldn't get one hundred. Moreover, this business only happened every twenty days, plus The money they got from selling "Dragon's Blood" was basically all the two people's early income.

All the money was spent before the battle with the black dragon. The two of them actually became rich through the wave of likes and coins from the major families after slaying the dragon, as well as the rewards from the Figuerola family.

Not only did they help the Arias family and Shuangxiujiao upgrade their weapons and equipment, but they also received a lot of money and a large amount of supplies. The Figuerola family alone gave them 10,000 gold coins. These money and gold coins were given to Ilea. Divided equally with Li Yu.

So how much money Miss Rabbit has in hand now, Li Yu should have as much money.

The girl made some calculations in her mind. If she converted those supplies into money and used them all for missionary work, it seemed that they could only last for two or three months.

This consumption is too terrible, and this is only in the green field.

Based on Ilea's understanding of Li Yu, she believed that the latter would not be satisfied with just settling down. But if we expand further, the costs will become even more astronomical.

"It won't take that long." As if he had seen through her mind, Li Yu explained, "According to my estimation, as long as the preacher does not make any big mistakes and preaches twelve or three times, he should be able to transform. More than half of the believers.

"Then the frequency of missionary work can be slowed down to once a week on Fridays, and there is no need to pay additional fees."

"What about the remaining people?" the girl asked again.

"Rely on the influence of the people around him. As long as there are enough Shuangxiao believers around him and their lives are better than him, he will gradually convert to Saturday."

…………

Since they have already planned to start a war with Shuangxiujiao, in addition to secretly sending out black-armored cavalry to smear the reputation of Shuangxiujiao and intimidating Shuangxiujiao's Shushi, the Silver Moon Church has also taken actions openly.

After Gil, dozens of priests rushed to the green fields one after another. A priest could be seen in almost every small village, which was unimaginable in the past.

The status of priests in the Western Region is no less than that of nobles. Many ordinary farmers have never had the opportunity to meet such a big shot in their lives, let alone imagine that one day such a big shot will settle in their village.

Eating the same rudimentary food as they did, and sleeping on the same haystacks where they once lay.

When I see them every morning, I will even smile at them, call each of them by name, tell them personally about the mercy and justice of the goddess, and take the trouble to answer their doubts.

Suddenly, all the villagers were moved.

Especially the elderly believers couldn't help crying. Those who were originally wavering soon realized the mistakes they had made with the help of these priests, felt ashamed of their previous wavering, and returned to the embrace of the goddess again.

However, in just a few days, the Silver Moon Church swept away the previous decline and regained its footing in the green field. Taking advantage of the fact that the monks who were on holiday did not dare to go out, they also sounded the clarion call for a counterattack.

There was even a young priest who was daring and not afraid of death and went to the territory of Shuangxiu Sect to preach. Although he had just spoken a few words, he was tied up, gagged and thrown out by the lizard people.

But his heroic act inspired many people and boosted the morale of the Silver Moon Church.
