Working Prophet.

Chapter 265 Spending... spending money to preach?
The Shuangxiu religion is currently adopting the traditional missionary method.

The advantage of sending Hughes to go deep into every village and every household is that the missionaries can fully contact the missionaries, formulate corresponding strategies according to different goals, and be flexible.

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

In this case, Li Yu decided to change his thinking, divide the green field into four parishes, and gather the villagers in the parishes in one place each time he preached.

In this way, the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Church do not need to go deep into every village, and dozens of people can form a group to preach together, which greatly reduces the danger they may encounter, and they can also share a guard to relieve the black dog. Guard's security pressure.

"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 listen to your people's preaching, but only Limited to those estates owned by the family.

"And there is no such precedent on the Bratis continent, or I count this matter as corvee..." Although the Arias family is now rich, Ilea is still a little bit a little bit at the thought of wasting so much manpower. Distressed.

But then she saw Li Yu shaking his head and said, "No need to do this, the effect of using orders is not good, but it will easily arouse the resistance of those leaders, and it will be more difficult to preach.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, send eggs."

"Send eggs?"

"Eggs are just a kind of reference, and it is not necessarily necessary to distribute eggs. You can also distribute bread, ale, or direct payment. Please help me write 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, the Shuangxiu Church can consider purchasing a large number of them as gifts and distributing them to the villagers who come to listen to the lecture."

The female lord was dumbfounded when she heard the words, "Spend... spending money to preach? This, this is not appropriate."

In her impression, it seemed that no church had ever done such a thing, but quite a few raised donations through missions. The Silver Moon Church often did this, saying that it could win Picia's favor.

And noble families like the Arias family will pay an extra sum of money to the church every year to sponsor various celebrations and sacrifices to show their respect for the goddess.

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

Although it was not the female lord's own money that was spent, she still subconsciously felt that it was not good.
"Actually, not much." Li Yu said, "I have calculated that if one person has half a loaf of white bread, 100 people is less than three golden lions, 1000 people is only thirty golden lions, and 10,000 people is three hundred gold lions." Golden Lions, Green Field now has a total of more than 20,000 people.”

"Six hundred gold coins a day, isn't that much?" It's not like I don't know, but Miss Rabbit was taken aback.

Because she has been doing business together, she is quite clear about Li Yu's family background.

The two sold pepper together, and after a hard work, they could only earn three hundred gold coins, Li Yu got two hundred, and Miss Rabbit got less than one hundred, and this business only happened once every 20 days, plus The money they got from selling "Blood of the Giant Dragon" was basically all their previous income.

The money was spent before the battle with the black dragon. The two of them really got rich because of the wave of likes and coins from the big families after the dragon slaying, as well as the rewards from the Figuerola family.

Not only helped the Arias family and the Shuangxiu Church upgrade their weapons and equipment, but they also received a lot of money and a lot of supplies. The Figueirola family alone gave [-] gold coins. Divided equally with Li Yu.

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

The girl thought about it in her heart. If those materials were also converted into money and used to preach, 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 Yi Liya's understanding of Li Yu, she believed that the latter would not be satisfied with just being in a corner.But if it expands outward, the cost will be even more astronomical.

"It won't take that long." As if seeing through what she was thinking, Li Yu explained, "According to my estimation, as long as the missionary Hughes don't make any serious mistakes and preach twelve or three times, they should be converted. More than half of the believers.

"Afterwards, the frequency of preaching can be slowed down to the normal one every Friday, and there is no need to pay additional fees."

"Then what about the rest?" the girl asked again.

"Rely on the influence of the people around him. As long as there are enough believers in the Shuangxiu Church around him, and they live better than him, he will gradually convert to Saturday."

…………

Now that they have planned to start a war with the Shuangxiu Church, in addition to secretly sending black armored cavalry to discredit the Shuangxiu Sect's reputation and intimidate the Shuangxiu Sect's Hughes, the Silver Moon Church will of course also take actions on the bright side.

After Jiller, dozens of priests went to the green field one after another, and 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 not inferior to that of nobles. Many ordinary farmers have few chances to meet such a big man in their life, let alone think that such a big man will settle in their village one day.

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

Every morning when I saw them, I would even smile at them, call out each of them by name, tell them about the benevolence and justice of the goddess, and answer their doubts tirelessly.

Suddenly, all the villagers were moved.

Especially the elderly believers couldn't help crying.And the people who were a little vacillating, with the help of these priests, quickly realized the mistakes they made, felt ashamed of their vacillation, 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 foothold in the green field. Taking advantage of the fact that the Hughes of the weekend church were afraid to go out, they even sounded the horn of counterattack.

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

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