Chapter 61 The First Church
The priestess used gold to buy materials from him, which was much more convenient than transporting the materials directly from them, but she was the only one in the entire priest team. It is far different from those in later generations where tens or even hundreds of people would fight with great fanfare.
For the sake of gold, Ji Lin sent several powerful citizens to help her.
In this way, the territory had its first church.
Far away from the city.
A building the size of a house built on a field of green fields.
The Church of the Goddess of Life is not a building with green as the main tone. On the contrary, it is extremely traditional. The square vertical exterior walls and the light brown ceramic tiles on the walls make the whole church shine slightly in the sun. , the top of the church is a light white square pointed roof, and the sunlight reflected from it can be seen from a long distance.
Except for the statue of the Goddess of Life surrounded by green branches in the open space in front of the church.
The goddess statue was brought by the priest, and the green branches were planted and spawned by life spells. The stretched green branches surrounded the marble statue of the goddess.
When Ji Lin went to visit her, he saw her sowing seeds on the land around the church. She said that she would cultivate some medicinal herbs here. With the vitality provided by the surrounding farmland, the plants here would grow very quickly.
She takes care of the four acres of medicinal herbs fields nearby by herself. According to her, these medicinal herbs will be made into various primary medicines for internal and external use in the church.
The healing effect is much better than that of his herb house. There is not even a competent doctor in the territory now. This is not a problem of the herbal house. No matter how many herbal houses are built without anyone to run them, it is meaningless. The affairs of Zhongshan and Changheng Officers only master basic first aid and bandaging skills.
The priests of several gods have the sub-professional occupation of physician. These priests can reduce the medical costs of the territory to a certain extent.
She seemed very happy about the location of the temple.
"This place will be quite far from the center of the town. If you need it, I can ask the subjects to send food and meat. It is too far from the town and cannot be allocated for every meal. Wheat flour is 2 gold and 3 kilograms, pickled. 1 kilogram of gold for meat, and 0.5 gold for 1 kilogram of wood.”
Then he saw the embarrassed expression on the face of the priestess.
She didn't have that much money, and Ji Lin had already collected 200 gold from her just for the cost of building materials for the chapel and the cost of land use.
For the sake of the herbs and a doctor, Ji Lin allowed her to take credit. Since there was no herb planting nursery in the territory, he would first borrow the church's herb cultivation capabilities.
There is no reflection on one's own evil behavior.
Maintaining a friendly relationship is not a bad thing for Ji Lin. Maintain multiple friendly relationships and exchange or obtain the required resources from them.
Ji Lin does not require the people to be absolutely loyal to him. He only needs the people to stand on his side before the crisis comes. To achieve this goal, he must first teach the people to distinguish right from wrong.
Possess the ability (physics) to enable the people in the territory to distinguish right from wrong.
In a materialistic world, everything can be analyzed into replicable solutions, and they do not need to believe in mysticism. On the contrary, mysticism will also be a branch of science. This way of thinking, regardless of spells, runes, or divine spells, all lead to the same goal through different paths.
Cracking the black box.
All mysteries will eventually fade away under the burning sun of reality.
If all the mysterious technologies that can be used are shelved, then civilization cannot take a step toward self-maturity...
This was what a lord from the Age of Stars said to him.
The civilizations of countless lords are constrained by this problem, and even the industrial age has difficulty breaking through.
Of course he wanted to run faster.
In addition to the priestess of the goddess of life, a businessman with a carriage caravan also came to his territory. He sold his resources on the 'house street' composed of houses.
The current territory has a total of sixty houses, all of which are full of people. Two rows of brown stone and wood buildings sandwich a stone street. This stone street is called House Street by the territorial residents. Both sides of the street are dedicated Two slightly sloping ditches were dug for the houses to dump the wastewater used in daily life.
Specialized personnel are arranged to clean the water channels every day to ensure that there are no residues and mosquito breeding.
There is a clear distinction between the clean and tidy streets and the ugly wooden houses next to them that look like they were built together.
The businessman's abacus was very good. There must be citizens living in such neat houses, and they often have some property of their own, and only rich people can buy goods from them.
He had been there for almost an hour, and people around him occasionally gathered to take a look at him, just out of curiosity about this outsider and the goods on his car.
No one was the first to go up and buy something. Everyone was waiting for the first mover to buy something. The members from the pioneer team had some wealth of their own - as for wages, there were no wages in the territory, even for professions like blacksmiths. He can also eat more meat than others.
If each person's salary is one gold per month, he will lose gold every month.
The first thing Wu Bai, who was responsible for the internal affairs of the territory, did after receiving the news was to look for Ji Lin.
Ji Lin was checking the germination status of a new batch of seeds sown in the floodplain. Whether they can germinate smoothly determines the autumn harvest.
He simply wanted to see the farmland he owned, the green fields created under his own planning.
A wonderful sense of accomplishment.
The second thing is to find Chongshan.
Chongshan collects new sea salt on the coast. The salt field produces coarse salt once a week. These coarse sea salts are dissolved in water and can be used for daily use in the territory after removing the mud and sand. These sieved and recrystallized sea salts will be placed in a cart and pushed back to the territory for storage.
Well, he is the only one here.
"Why don't you take a rest first? We have to wait for the lord to come before we can make a decision."
Wubai, wearing a blue dress, ran to the merchant who was almost unable to bear it, handed him a glass of sugarcane juice, and explained to him the special nature of the territory.
The other party nodded as if he understood.
The sun was low, and Ji Lin rushed to the merchant.
The merchant's caravan brought some books about folk stories, some books about plants, and some glass bottles.
Some carrot seeds also came to the territory with the merchant's caravan. As long as the plant seeds have not been through the system, they can be planted normally. There is no such thing as too much of various crops, which increases the food diversity of the territory.
Although he doesn't like carrots.
The merchants used a kind of docile animal that looked like a cow but was half as strong as a cow to pull the cart. He also spent a lot of money to buy two to replace human-powered carts.
At the final settlement, the merchant happened to see the people in the territory bringing back a full load of salt from the coast in a cart. He proposed that he would not use his gold to settle the bill, but use the sea salt that had just been produced in the territory to settle the bill. He hoped that he could buy all his goods, and he would give him a discount.
The merchants chose to take the full cart of salt away.
Each takes what he needs.
