Chapter 181 The Northern Divine Envoy
Chapter 181 The Northern Divine Envoy
His departure was not only a personal loss for him, but also a huge loss for the Church of Light. It can be said that it was because of Jamil's incident that the church directly lost a future foundation.
"Elder Azkaban, please don't be so emotional. We are just stating a fact, not trying to fight for power or anything."
These elders spoke very bluntly. They knew that if they did not make it clear and the Pope really agreed to his request, it would be a huge loss to the church and the spread of faith in the God of Light.
"Elder Keqin, I am not being emotional. Jamil made a mistake, so he should follow the rules of the canon. I, Azkaban, also made a mistake and should follow the canon.
And when you go to the Great Wall in the North, you should not feel disappointed, but happy.
The barren and desolate land of the North needs the light of God, and Azkaban will be the first torch."
Azkaban said with a pious smile on his face.
After hearing Azkaban's words, those elders who felt that Azkaban was not worth it all showed expressions of shame.
Unfortunately, they always call themselves loyal servants of God, but none of them has the awareness of Azkaban.
In this atmosphere of shame, several elders stood up and expressed their willingness to follow the elders of Azkaban to the Great Wall in the North to preach and resist the orcs moving south.
Pope Beams had been holding Azkaban's resignation document and reading it. Finally, he raised his eyes and said:
"Elder Azkaban, I, Beams, as the Pope, will crown you as the Emissary of the North and take charge of all missionary affairs in the North."
After saying this, Bims waved the scepter in his hand, and everyone found that the things in front of them had changed.
The original long conference table disappeared, and all the people who were sitting there before were now standing in the hall. At this time, Pope Bimus was standing on the stage in the hall, wearing a formal dress that was only worn on important occasions.
At this moment, his whole body was emitting a sacred glow, and there was a divine gem-shaped mark on his forehead. It was no longer possible to tell that he was the old man in the meeting just now.
At this moment, Azkaban was half kneeling in front of him.
Bims stretched out a hand and stroked Azkaban's forehead. The next moment, the elder's clothes on his body immediately broke into pieces, and then he put on the clothes of the messenger of God again. At the same time, a mark similar to Bims's forehead appeared on his forehead, but this mark was smaller and lighter than Bims's.
At this moment, all the elders in the audience saw this scene and knew that Azkaban had been recognized by God. Wherever he passed on his way north, it would be embraced by God.
At this time, all the elders put their hands in front of their chests and bowed to Azkaban facing them and said:
"Greetings to the Envoy of the North."
Although Azkaban did not have the strength of a demigod at this time, his status in the church was already one of the few high-ranking officials under the Pope.
After everyone finished their ceremony, the scene in front of everyone changed again. They returned to the previous venue, and everyone was still sitting in their previous seats, as if what had just happened was an illusion.
However, the divinity in Azkaban, which had not yet been completely contained, was telling everyone that it was not an illusion.
"Just now, Azkaban has been recognized by God. God has appointed him as the Messenger of the North outside of time. Those who have said that they will follow the Messenger of Azkaban to the north, you must obey the orders of the Messenger of Azkaban and help him to preach."
Beams said to everyone in the meeting.
"Okay, let's end the meeting here. We should go out and meet the other servants. The birth of the Azkaban Envoy should also be made known to all the servants."
Bims leaned on the scepter in his hand and announced the end of the meeting.
Time flies, and a month has passed in a flash.
During this month, the Huidun Territory can be said to have changed its appearance.
Huidun Bank has made a name for itself because those big businessmen were temporarily half threatened and half bribed into accepting the issuance of vouchers.
At the same time, because Huidun's territory was severely hit by the disaster, all the people in the territory lost almost all their property, so they could only accept Huidun's proposal of work-for-relief.
Of course, this plan is not to exploit these disaster victims, but to let them take the building materials distributed by the government and rebuild their homes according to Huidun and his team's plan.
During this process, bank-issued vouchers are directly issued.
Although many people could not accept it at first when they heard that the things distributed were not food or metal coins but pieces of paper.
However, once the decree was issued, coupled with the cold and hunger, everyone had to accept it.
Of course, during this process, Huidun also sent a large number of people to promote the vouchers. They can use the vouchers to go to all the shops open in the city to buy what they need.
Of course, if you ask where these so-called merchants get their supplies from, the answer is naturally Huidun, who transfers the relief supplies from one hand to the other.
Although this was suspected of misappropriation of disaster relief supplies, he had to do so for the future of everyone in Huidun Territory.
Because the supplies are distributed directly for free, once the supplies are used up, Huidun Territory will become even more desolate than before Huidun arrived.
Of course, in order to compensate the victims, the number of vouchers issued by the government represented by Tofis far exceeded the amount of relief supplies.
In this way, after the disaster, all the people will not only have their own new homes, but also have a considerable amount of savings.
Although these deposits are now worthless outside the Huidun Territory, in this world, once the lower-class people belong to a noble territory, they will hardly leave for other places.
As long as Huidun can stabilize the value of the vouchers and allow people to use the vouchers to buy goods in the future, the vouchers can be said to be truly successful.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the various economic situations that occurred due to the vouchers within this month. Long before the vouchers were issued, Chen Cheng and his team had already simulated such situations, so they were able to handle them with ease.
The most important thing is the revenue of several major businesses that serve as bank deposit collateral during this month. As long as this part of the revenue can be guaranteed to be normal, the vouchers will be stable in the hands of these merchants.
Today is the one-month anniversary of the issuance of the vouchers, and it is also the time when Bryusto promised the merchants to ship back all the profits from the cloth and other businesses as a deposit.
Through observation over this month, these businessmen have more or less accepted the vouchers because they found that the vouchers have a profound impact on business development.
If this voucher can be implemented throughout the kingdom, then in the future when they go out to do business, they will no longer need to hire a large number of adventurers as bodyguards to protect the gold, silver and copper coins they need to do business.
They only need to go out with a stack of light vouchers, and then ride on fast horses with a few personal guards, and they no longer need to worry about being robbed by bandits.
