At noon, a hint of sweet fragrance floated into the bedroom upstairs. Yunia, who was sleeping soundly under the quilt, opened her eyes in confusion, grabbed the little bear doll on the bed, and staggered downstairs. Go to the kitchen.
"dad..."
Yunia yawned and walked behind Ma Wei who was squatting in front of the oven. She was about to ask what made it smell so fragrant when she suddenly saw the plump cake embryo in the oven.
"Yeah!" She suddenly opened her eyes wide and woke up completely: "Dad, you are baking a cake!"
"wake up?"
"Um!"
"Go wash your face and brush your teeth first, and you can eat the cake later."
"Know it!"
Yunia ran upstairs. Seeing that she was in high spirits, just like usual, Ma Wei was relieved, sat down at the dining table, and picked up the latest issue of "Daily Fun"... No, it was "Contemporaries", watched the news.
At this moment, Fat Orange jumped off the roof and jumped into the kitchen with a Siberian forest cat.
"There is news from the nobles."
Ma Wei put down the newspaper, glanced at the forest cat following Fat Orange, and asked, "What's the news?"
"Yesterday, Paul I and Archbishop Henry held a private meeting. All the nobles in Tyumen City are currently participating. The main issue they discussed is how to deal with the Church of Truth." Fat Jue said: "At the meeting, King Paul I wanted to We asked the nobles to provide more food and funds to help the victims, but they met with unanimous opposition, and no one was willing to pay more."
Ma Wei narrowed his eyes, knowing what Paul I and Archbishop Henry planned to do.
Now that the cold wave has arrived, the temperature is even colder than before. If you want to maintain a sufficient body temperature, in addition to cold-resistant clothing, food is the most important thing.
If they distribute more food in the name of the Kingdom and the Wisdom God Religion, this will naturally be a great thing for the refugees, but for the Church of Truth...
The policies they implement may not be so attractive.
Many people are bound to join the Wisdom Religion under the Kingdom's vigorous propaganda. Over time, differences will arise among the people. Believers who have joined the Wisdom Religion and believers who have joined the Church of Truth will definitely be incompatible and dislike each other. The situation will risk getting out of control.
The Wisdom Religion, backed by kings and nobles, has greater advantages in many aspects.
but....
The idea is very good, and the plan is also very good. If it can be implemented smoothly, it can indeed have a big impact on the Truth Church, but the problem is...
Are the aristocrats willing?
They paid for it, but the beneficiary was the God of Wisdom, and they didn't benefit at all. How many people in the world would do this kind of loss-making business?
Therefore, the aristocratic faction will definitely not obediently agree to the king's proposal, and objections are inevitable.
"They finally reached an agreement." Fat Orange said: "Paul I and Archbishop Henry, in the name of the Wisdom Religion, promised to give the nobles some future territorial autonomy and reduced taxes in the ten years after the war. The two parties reached a cooperation, and the nobles Pai agreed to pay.”
"What a great idea..."
Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Paul I seems to be dealing with us, but in fact he has strengthened the rights and interests of the nobles. After the contract is established, the Wisdom Cult's control over the Romanov Kingdom cannot be circumvented by the nobles. The two sides contain each other. But Paul I only paid a small amount of taxes to re-stabilize the situation, pitting the aristocratic faction and the Wisdom Cult against each other, and even disgusted the enemy... Killing two birds with one stone, what a brilliant plan."
"Paul I probably wouldn't have been able to become a king if he hadn't tried to trick others." Fat Orange curled his lips and said, "But what they did did have an impact on us. Once the Kingdom's disaster relief materials are distributed on a large scale, our bread and other products will be affected." The food-for-work policy will be impacted."
"Yes, we want the people to stand up, but Paul I wants them to kneel down again..."
Mavie tapped her fingers lightly on the dining table, lost in thought.
The Wisdom God Sect has taken action. They have used their greatest advantage to attack the Church of Truth, and they are attacking aggressively. Once they take action, they will fundamentally kill the Church of Truth.
The temptation of getting something for nothing is too powerful. This is also the most common method used by capital. It uses immediate benefits to seduce the enemy and break the enemy's will. Once they succeed, the enemy will become a beast that can be slaughtered and exploited by them.
Facing the sugar-coated shell offensive, Ma Wei did not panic because he understood the enemy's methods. This move was not unusual and was a conspiracy.

If you want to break the move, you must hit it head-on.
"How come such important news was only sent back today? Wasn't the meeting held yesterday?" Ma Wei looked at the Siberian Forest Cat. There was no blame in his tone, just a little curiosity, because any news in the past was always sent back as soon as possible. of.
"Don't mention it. I don't know what kind of madness Paul I is. He hugged it and didn't even let it go to sleep." Fat Orange shook his head and said: "It sneaked out while Paul I was going to the toilet."
"oh...."
Ma Wei nodded and considered, "Has there been any news from the other cats who were sent out to keep an eye on the nobles? I need their weaknesses and information."
"Not yet. I've asked Xiao Hei to go find them and ask what's going on." Fat Orange said helplessly: "These cats are not our old team in New Ross City. They are doing eavesdropping work for the first time. Some are not very skilled and often get into trouble, so they need to practice more.”
............................
"Ke Lulu? Ke Lulu? Where did you go?"
At the Central District Academy of Sciences, Paul I, who had just come out of the toilet, suddenly discovered that his beloved cat was missing. He was immediately anxious, calling its name, and looking around.
He was impressed, or... surrendered, by the Siberian forest cat that appeared in the conference room yesterday.
Paul I had never seen such a well-behaved cat, neither noisy nor fussy, obedient and sensible, as if it could understand what its owner was saying, and could always comfort its owner when he was worried.
Paul I didn't like cats before, but that's different now.
Ke Lulu - the pet name he gave to the Siberian forest cat. After Ke Lulu disappeared, he suddenly became anxious and couldn't calm down. He searched everywhere in the Academy of Sciences and mobilized maids, internal affairs officers and even guards. For a moment, Everyone was calling Ke Lulu's name, but the other person just didn't show up.
"Who opened the window?"
In the bedroom, Paul I was furious and smashed the wine glass on the floor. He believed that Ke Lulu had jumped out of the open window.
The maid in charge of cleaning was trembling with fear, lowering her head and not daring to breathe. She was ventilating the room. She had done this in the past, but today she was reprimanded.
Listening to the growl coming from downstairs, Xiao Hei squatting on the ridge of the house touched the head of the Siberian forest cat next to him and warned: "Go, Paul I is looking for you, don't leave for a long time in the future, I I will come to see you regularly and talk to you if anything happens."
"Meow."
Ke Lulu jumped off the ridge of the house and jumped onto the windowsill with precision and dexterity. When he saw it, Paul I shouted in surprise: "Ke Lulu! You are back!"
"Meow..."
"Good cat, you are so good, I have prepared the freshest beef for you..."
Listening to Paul I's doting voice on Ke Lulu, Xiao Hei looked up at the sky and said with some pride:
"The beautiful cat trick really works, meow..."
