Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"Lord, Superintendent Yurio and Commander Pierce are asking for a visit!" The guard at the entrance of the study knocked on the door and reported to Harvey.

"Let them come in together."

Pierce, who was overjoyed, and Yurio, who had a hint of worry on his face, walked quickly into Harvey's study side by side.

Just as Yurio was about to salute, Pierce opened his mouth and said directly: "Sir, after yesterday's public trial, a large number of new immigrants from the South China region flooded into the military recruitment department, and they actively signed up to join the army... It seems that public trials have aroused the common hatred of the people. The emotions are really effective!”

Harvey rolled his eyes helplessly. This guy was really unsatisfied. More than 20,000 people adopted a professional army of more than 3,000 people. It made Harvey feel financially stretched. He was still thinking about it. To expand the army.

"Without issuing a new recruitment order, why did they go to the military recruitment office to join in the fun? Even if the army is to be expanded, at least half of these new immigrants in the southern border will not pass the physical fitness test of the recruitment office. Don't you know it yourself?"

Harvey raised his face and scolded him, and finally cooled down Pierce's blood. He scratched his head and thought it was right. Compared with the locals in the north, the physical fitness of immigrants in the south was indeed much worse than that in the north. Judging from his figure, he is obviously shorter than the one in the Wasteland people. If he really follows the selection criteria of the military headquarters, he will probably be defeated on the spot.

"Then... the garrison gap in Grizzly Castle..., we can't keep the defense army and the northern army stationed, right? It's a big city with a population of nearly 10,000, and 500 people just control the city gate and guard the outside world. , they were all a little tight. "Although Pierce's mood continued to wilt, she still decided on the matter.

Harvey pinched his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, saying, "It's not that no one is recruiting. First, satisfy the job gap in various production departments in the territory. The remaining new immigrants can be trained in the form of militia and pulled to the east coast. The garrison troops will go and let them ensure that they can integrate into the territory as soon as possible while ensuring that they can grow and produce. At least their thoughts and appearance must be comprehensively improved..."

After saying that, he reluctantly approved the note that Zhang expanded the 500 militia team and threw it to Pierce, who was happy and finally sent him away first.

"After saying that...what's happening to the Police Department?"

Yurio calmed down and stepped forward to report slowly: "Sir, yesterday's public trial pointed all the fingers at the church and the nobles in the southern border, which led to the later being taken to interrogate... The criminals who sold food privately acted as a warning to the people. The effect is not good, I'm worried..."

Harvey was stunned for a moment. After the church priest was tried yesterday, he was too lazy to watch the hanging scene and left in a hurry. He didn't remember that there would be such a case in the future.

"What? The onlookers are very tolerant of such acts of enriching themselves and damaging the interests of the territory?"

Yurio shook his head and explained, "It's not a question of tolerance. After these people pleaded guilty on the spot, although they did not enjoy the treatment of being thrown into stones and hit on the sludge, it was obvious that the onlookers' emotions were not considered hatred... Everyone was just He shouted loudly and angrily, and there was no big objection to the decision to finally sentence them to enter the mining area to work hard for three years."

Harvey laughed and said, "That's all. I don't want the people to be completely engulfed by hatred, nor do I want to threaten them through too strict laws. I just need to instill a concept in all the people--Don't stretch out my hand. , you will be caught if you reach out! ”

Theft of a little bit of old grain that was originally to be disposed of as scrapped, was fined and confiscated for personal property and engaged in hard labor for three years was considered a serious punishment. There is a typical case here as a lesson for the past.

"There is one more thing, sir... After the public trial yesterday, among the immigrants in the southern region, many families who were originally believers of the church took the initiative to take the altar statues and objects for sacrifice and prayer at the municipal square. The police department sent people to maintain order on the scene, but did not stop them."

Harvey burst out laughing happily. This is what he really wanted to achieve in the public trial yesterday!

About 60% of the people in the occupied land have almost no religious beliefs. When they struggle to survive on the deserted and cold land in the northern border, no gods like the glorious gods gave them a little help and fed. "Thank God" when you are in your stomach, and "Damn God" when you are hungry is the norm.

But the increasing number of immigrants in the southern border are completely different. They live in peaceful countries that are completely free from evil orcs and demons. Except for the common noble lords, most of them have not been baptized by war and severe famine. Therefore, most of them have a certain foundation of faith, and a large number of people are shallow believers of the glorious church.

After coming to the northern pioneering leadership, which had no religious activities at all, they spontaneously worshipped the things they carried with them at home to make up for the regret of not being able to go to the church to pray for Mass. Many bold people even took the initiative to go to the municipal government. The hall made a request to recruit missionaries to build a church.

This is not the result that Harvey wants to see. Forcibly depriving them of their faith will definitely cause secret dissatisfaction among the people. Instead of planting the seeds of disharmonious emotions, it is better to directly and openly put a slap in the church with ironclad evidence. Completely expose their past conspiracies and allow these shallow believers who are not originally determined to be completely free from the mind control of the church.

"The same public trial also needs to be carried out in Grizzly Castle. Although the church's charlatans have evacuated there, the church still stands in the city, and arranges some spies to mingle among the people in the city to secretly spread the truth about today's public trial first. , let the public opinion and emotions among the people ferment for a period of time, and then completely ignite their suspicion and hatred of the church! ”

Harvey said to Yurio in a faint tone, "I will let the Town Hall issue tax reduction and halve land rent to the people of Grizzlies and surrounding territories at the same time. Trevor, the new owner of the Fegan family, The Count will also cooperate with each other. At that time, the people in the city will clearly understand which force they will attract real benefits."

Yurio couldn't help but feel refreshed and said, "Sir, in this way, the people of Grizzly Castle will inevitably turn to us. In less than a month, there is no need for us to take action. They will take the initiative to tear them down. Left in the church and nearby monastery."

After all, compared to praying day and night, the wasteland lords who have never responded to their glorious gods. They can reduce land rent and taxes and issue various decrees for the benefit of the people, the benefits they have brought to them are much greater.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

If the grizzly bears the church, the civilians can still pay a lot of tax on believers, and they do not have to be forced to recruit the church in winter, and do all kinds of free labor such as repairing churches and expanding monasteries.

The fool also knows how to choose.
