I have a lot of wives

Leo X: "You can rest here. This is the world, one of the closest places to the source of the Holy Light. It is a supreme honor to be allowed to own a room here."

Lu Cheng: "Can this honor be converted into a large-value draft and sent to me directly? I'm really in a hurry."

Leo X: "No."

Chapter 6 When I die, you will...

"Tell the truth. The way of operation of your Holy See should be changed."

Lu Cheng couldn't help sighing: "If this continues, sooner or later something will happen."

Leo X: "It's not'you' but'us'. Crow, don't forget, you are also a member of our Holy See."

Lu Cheng: "My memory is often proportional to commissions, old man. But to be honest, if I were Emperor Otto, I saw that this place is taking advantage of the money. My royal family wants to manage territories, form an army, and open up new territory. But I can’t get out gold coins. I’ll be psychologically unbalanced.”

Leo X: "Are we collecting money for ourselves?" He shook his head helplessly: "Yes, there may be some priests who have become corrupt and live extravagantly. But is the whole Holy Light the same?

Those taxes were taken away by the emperor and lords.What will they do?

They will enjoy luxury, hold dance parties, buy meaningless luxury goods, or start wars, and their lives will be destroyed.

And us?

We will build hospitals and churches.Distribute medicine and holy water for the people.Distributing food to satisfy the hunger for the poor and supporting widows and orphans... Isn't it obvious to whom the money should be allocated?"

Lu Cheng: "..."

Looking at the opposite, Lu Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, expecting him to identify with Leo X. "Ah, ah, it's so beautiful." He said, "If you work harder, I might I'm going to be persuaded, old man."

He looked at the level description of Leo X—not to mention those combat professions, only civilian professions—

The civilian profession is a production and life profession that basically does not provide combat bonuses.Therefore, it is calculated separately from the combat occupation.

Even if the civilian occupation reaches level 50, it is not a legend.

Leo X’s civilian profession, in addition to the initial "secretary", is an upgrade sequence of “eloquent” at level 17, an upgrade sequence of “professional politician” at level 22, and an upgrade sequence of “teacher” at level 24.

If these ranks are included in the war post, then Leo X will probably be the first person below Lu Cheng in the west of Oros continent.

So Lu Cheng made the decision the first time he saw him.

No matter how sincere and beautiful Leo X spoke, it was entirely regarded as a vent.Never waste any feelings.

"You seem to have different opinions?"

Seeing Lu Cheng who was completely indifferent, Leo X asked tentatively.

"Yes, that's right." Lu Cheng nodded.

As a person living in modern society.Regarding the question of "what should I do after collecting taxes".Lu Cheng's answer is different from religious personnel and the noble class.

Of course it is to expand reproduction-popularize education, build infrastructure, build bridges and roads, water conservancy projects, conduct scientific research and promote new technologies, build industries, factories, and increase employment.

This is what a ruler should do after receiving the tax-the decadent luxury of the nobility is certainly wrong.However, in the case of insufficient productivity, it is also undesirable to invest the balance in "welfare services"-because this will not promote the progress of society.

Unable to expand productivity, unable to promote production progress.Then another thousand years.Those poor people still have tears in their eyes because of the small piece of black bread distributed by the church.

From the perspective of historical trends, this is meaningless.Not to mention, the Holy See itself is not as good as Leo X said.Whether it's the public eleventh tax, or the fundraising that is difficult to count.Those who can devote one-tenth to welfare undertakings are rare good people.

Therefore, Lu Cheng firmly believes that expanding reproduction is the real way out.

But in the west of Oros continent, whether it is the Holy Faro Empire or the Argos Empire.Whether it is the imperial royal family or the Holy See.Lu Cheng has traveled to countless places, and so far has not met a guy who does this.

Don't say that this is done, even such thoughts did not appear.

The whole world's thoughts on money and wealth are completely profligate and costly.There is no production at all.

So in the everyday world, these nobles will be driven off the stage of history and replaced by the bourgeoisie.There is only one "deserve it" for Lu Cheng's evaluation.

These guys deserve to be eliminated if they fall behind.

Leo X: "..."

"Then let us be honest and honest. Crow, what kind of reward do you want?" He looked at Lu Cheng seriously, and then asked.

"First of all, of course the Bright Diamond."

Lu Cheng's tone also became slightly relaxed.

"It's easy." Leo X smiled: "As long as you transfer from the court. With your merits and abilities, you will be promoted from priest to regional bishop in three years, and from regional bishop to archbishop in five years. From archbishop to red in seven years Bishop Yi. After that, I will spend ten years or eight years on my qualifications. After I die..."

"stop."

Lu Cheng interrupted the other party: "According to you, I might as well just grab it directly."

"I remember what you said." The old man smiled and said: "Someday I lost three artifacts. I will be the first to find you."

The joke ends here.After a second time, Lu Cheng said his true purpose: "The Principality of Albaches." He calmly said, "I want to be the leader of the church there."

"This." Leo X smiled: "It is indeed much simpler than the Diamond of Light. He was promoted from priest to regional bishop in three years, and archbishop in five years..."

"No, no, no." Lu Cheng interrupted his chariot: "I mean now."

"just now?"

"Well, now."

"This...it's difficult to do..."

Leo X frowned: "You are now the magistrate of the first order of the court. According to your status, you are indeed equal to the archbishop. But you are not a system...never have happened before..."

Lu Cheng: "Oh, then I still want the Bright Diamond."

Leo X: "——You wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, he showed a serious thought.Lu Cheng couldn't help rolling his eyes.

With the astuteness and calculation of Leo X, the pros and cons must be analyzed clearly in the first place.Now showing this appearance, just playing mystery.Make a look like: "You see me embarrassed, you have to support my favor."Let Lu Cheng be touched a little--

No, maybe his calculation is deeper than this.Because he should know that Lu Cheng can see through him.

So is it just to show weakness, to maintain this relaxed and happy state of friendship with Lu Cheng?

In any case, Lu Cheng did not hesitate to speculate on the other party with the greatest malice.

There is a power outage again... it has been interrupted for 3 consecutive days.Orange sesame wheat pi, zero English pear.
