crush the rich

Yin Lian had been thinking about what to shape Ms. Fengrao's sect into.

Just a good harvest is not enough, the goddess of the earth is enough, but it still lacks some deterrence.The problem is, she can't choose a setting that is too strong - because too strong will inevitably conflict with the Magic Association.Two equally powerful organizations cannot coexist.

But she can't make Ms. Rich look too weak.An organization that is too weak will only become dispensable in the end—she did not create such an existence to become a vine hanging on the wall of the capital of the sages.

After thinking for a long time, she thought of the two religions in the original world - Protestantism in Catholicism, and orientalized Buddhism.

These two sects are definitely not threatening, but extremely aggressive religions.What do they depend on?Leaving aside other unimportant details of the scriptures, there are actually only two that are most influential—the judgment of good and evil, and the way of life and death.

Compared with the old denominations, the Protestantism is actually very deterrent-they do not force believers to obey the orders of the church, do not interpret the Bible, and perform worship without mass, but they are closer to the believers.At the same time, it retains the most basic and most deterrent setting of Catholicism-that is, your behavior of faith determines whether you will go to heaven or hell after death.

And Buddhism can be understood better-life and death, wealth and honor, and the six cycles of reincarnation.

Yin Lian realized in an instant that she should also give Ms. Fengrao similar responsibilities.Life is attractive to believers, but death is even more deterrent.

However, life and death can be integrated into one body and rotate each other.

So Yin Lian said: "Bury the body in the soil, and he will return to his mother's arms, and then grow with all things in the spring of the next year, and bear fruit in autumn. When the time is right, the fruit will condense into life. The essence, through the union of mother and father, is born again in this world."

The farmer said: "... But the church says that after death, people will return to the embrace of the underworld."

Yin Lian asked: "Will the priests of the Emperor of Heaven also go to the realm of the Underworld God after death?"

"...The priests are of course going to the palace of their gods..."

"So, my mother will also take away all her pious believers. My mother is very gentle and lenient. She not only treats the priests well, but also treats every believer well."

Yin Lian concluded the conversation simply and rudely, and said to the farmer, "You have to trust her."

She smiled softly, and the farmer was moved by her affirmative tone, and nodded vigorously.

After burying the deceased, Yin Lian continued to distribute potato seeds, and then introduced the characteristics of the two plants to everyone, and said that after the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted, if anyone didn't want to eat them, she would return them all. purchase.Farmers can sell it to her at the price of ten gold coins per mu.

Ten gold coins per acre of land is already a high price for farmers.Yin Lian kept an eye out here - the yield of bread trees per acre of land is about [-] to [-] kilograms, while potatoes and sweet potatoes can reach [-] to [-] kilograms.In this case, according to the price of general grain, the so-called high price has actually been suppressed several times.

However, this little loss can just teach these people what kind of attitude they should treat what she said in the future.

At this time, farmers are still breathing a sigh of relief at this recycling commitment.Although Yin Lian suppressed it immediately, the farmers were nervous and repelled when they heard that the germ was poisonous.But since Yin Lian is willing to recycle, the situation becomes almost like planting poisonous herbs for mages.

Moreover, Yin Lian's requirements for planting potatoes and sweet potatoes are very simple, which is much easier than taking care of herbs.

After distributing the seeds and urging the farmers to plant them, Yin Lian allocated the rest of her time.She divides her time into two parts, one part is used to expand her influence in the capital of the sages and nearby areas, and the other part is used to further build agricultural facilities in the area.During this process, Yin Lian felt the scarcity of his own manpower.

She applied to the Black Sage to summon her followers in Blue Cloud Village—the Black Sage agreed.

Yin Lian sent someone to deliver a letter to the temple in Lanyun Village.After nearly a year, she didn't know how many villagers would be willing to obey her orders, but no matter what, at least she could confirm that the little priest and some members of the adventure group had a high chance of coming.

However, Yin Lian was not just waiting until the available manpower arrived.

Yin Lian didn't know much about Yu - she had never believed in any gods, and her only belief was herself.This kind of concept goes deep into the bone marrow of Yin Lian, and it is not only her support, but also her wall.

But since he doesn't understand the operation of religion, it doesn't prevent Yin Lian from inferring its laws roughly - it's nothing more than three points relying on actions and seven points relying on propaganda.

Being primarily charitable.Whether it is Christianity or Buddhism, charity is the main work of missionaries.And it is only with charity that teachings can be spread effectively.

But when it comes to preaching in real life, actions only account for one-third of the effect at most, while publicity can be exaggerated from one-third to ten.

There are many ways of charity, and in Yin Lian's view, dissemination of knowledge is certainly one of them.Christianity likes to build all kinds of church schools, but building schools is too much trouble, and Yin Lian doesn't have the time and financial resources yet.In addition to building schools, there is also a kind of charity method that churches, Taoist temples and temples often use to build hospitals or free clinics... Unfortunately, Yin Lian still cannot implement it now because there is no talent.

Yin Lian was unable to carry out the two most effective common methods, and she was not upset. She just made a compromise and chose a simpler method that had both effects.

She set up a small bulletin board in the temple, and draws some knowledge lectures every day, mainly disseminating some medical or agricultural knowledge, such as how to prevent colds at the turn of spring and summer, and which wild vegetables are suitable for eating in each season... Announcement A small donation box was placed under the card, and the funds raised were mainly used to complete the construction of canals, waterwheels, mills and other projects.

Yin Lian is not short of money, but she wants the believers to develop the habit of paying for their beliefs.Only after they have paid, will they have a sense of responsibility and dedication to their beliefs... and a belief with dedication is a truly powerful belief.

At the same time, Yin Lian will also explain the teachings to the farmers.

She is not a professional pastor, but she is quick-witted, eloquent, and good at fooling around.The combination of boldness and carefulness makes Yin Lian more effective in fooling people.

And through carefully designed teachings, she added the teaching itself to the good deeds that believers can perform.She deliberately selected a lot of short stories about good and evil, and adapted them into short stories related to Ms. Fengrao, and then spread them out.

The classic stories she chooses are all related to or not related to religion. In addition to the missionary significance, they also bring interesting and popular plots.These novel tales entertained the entertainment-poor peasants, and spread with rapidity.

On the preaching day once every ten days, some people even came to the temple specifically to listen to the story.

This is a situation that Yin Lian likes to hear.Next, she began to pay more attention to fun when she preached, but at the same time, she did not forget to secretly add various private goods to the story, subtly brainwashing the people who came to listen.

The effect is very good.

The black sage has been paying attention to Yin Lian's actions.That day, he stood in a corner of the temple and listened to Yin Lian's soft voice preaching there with two mages. The mages who accompanied him felt incredible.

Yin Lian's behavior was completely different from any priest in any temple. She didn't seem to ask for anything from the believers, she didn't order, and she never threatened or intimidated.Ms. Fengrao... now it should be called the Life Cult—in short, its teachings are not corrosive or threatening. Generally speaking, it teaches people to cherish life, do good and eliminate evil, and believe in karma and retribution.

But it was such a non-oppressive teaching that spread quickly and was welcomed by believers.

"Reincarnation of life and death, karma and good retribution... Interesting theory." The mage stood beside the black sage, looked at him and said, "I didn't think that girl could really have any unusual influence, but now I have changed my mind. Yes. Your Excellency, this disciple of yours looks unusual... this divine envoy of Ms. Abundance...is much more powerful than imagined."

The black sage looked at Yin Lian, did not speak, but frowned slightly, and listened carefully to every word she said to the believers.

This is a divine envoy without divine power.

But the black sage slowly felt the power contained in this girl's body.As the girl herself emphasized, her strength does not lie in her body, but in her will and wisdom.

As the reputation of the Life Sect spread, Yin Lian's reputation also grew.Since Yin Lian wants to achieve three-point performance, she will naturally do some things that can be rumored in the short term, such as water mills and agricultural canals.

"I heard that the capital of the sages opened a stone mill driven by river water, and a water wheel with a revolving door for irrigation. They were all invented by the envoys of God. The stone mill is fast and good, and it is open to everyone for free. Believers grind breadfruit, and a large basket can be ground in ten minutes, which is very convenient. Those who are not believers will be charged three copper coins for a basket."

"I heard that after the death of Ms. Fengrao's believers, as long as they are buried in the soil, they will be taken back to the temple by the goddess, and then in the spring of next year, as the flowers and fruits grow, devout believers can slowly give birth to new life after eating the fruits... If it is a good person, it will grow back into a human being, and it may even grow in a noble family; if it is a bad person, it may become a fish, a bird, or a flying insect, and suffer and die to pay for its sins."

Rumors like this began to spread frequently around the capital of the sages, and they were sent to distant places with the wind.

These unheard of arguments, novelty and extremely detailed logic, make it hard for people to understand how Yin Lian came up with such a wonderful theory.

If it is really the teachings of Ms. Fengrao, it makes all the mages in the capital of the sages wonder: Is Ms. Fengrao such a wise person?

At the end of the day's worship, the black sage entered the interior of the temple, and happened to see Yin Lian facing the stove and didn't know what he was doing.A scent wafted from the tip of his nose, which seemed to smell like breadfruit, but it was not like it.

The sweet smell is much richer than breadfruit, but it does not have the astringent taste of breadfruit.The black sage looked up and found that there were several plates of snacks in different shapes in front of Yin Lian, exquisite and beautiful, all of which he had never seen before.

He walked up, couldn't help but wanted to watch carefully, but unexpectedly Yin Lian saw him
