"I've gotten rich, I've really gotten rich now... Nobles are indeed rich!"
In the warm study room, Dino looked at the ruble coupons covering the table, his eyes shining with excitement.
He just counted that these military nobles sent a total of two million rubles!
Converted into gold pounds, that’s two hundred thousand!
This made up for the previous losses. Not only that, the military nobles also said that they would donate the same amount to the Truth Church every month in the future, which is equivalent to a regular income for them!
Two million rubles a month?
This is much more profitable than being a grocer!
More importantly...
This is only the first batch of nobles with military merit who surrendered. The more nobles surrendered in the future, the more nobles surrendered. Isn't it possible to get as much money as you want?
Dino grabbed a handful of ruble coupons, sniffed the ink smell on them, and said intoxicatedly: "If I had had so much money, I wouldn't have gone to the Kingdom of Windsor to do business..."
Suddenly, after speaking for a while, Dino seemed to remember something and looked at Mavey: "Father, should we continue to distribute broth and dairy products to the refugees?"
"Of course, now that you have started, don't stop and continue until the refugees return to their hometowns."
Dino's cheeks twitched slightly, and his excitement suddenly dissipated: "Then the money is not enough... I can hold on for three more days at most..."
"There is nothing to worry about. The next step is the avalanche effect." Ma Wei said disapprovingly: "The first batch of military nobles have sent money. When other military nobles know about it, they will definitely have to express their opinions. We are already on the dam. After digging a hole, even if nothing is done, this thousand-year-old dam will leak out and collapse overnight."
Dino nodded with deep understanding. This is indeed a domino effect. As long as the first person to eat crab appears, crab will become a delicacy on the public table, and the same is true for the Truth Church.
Today someone comes to give money to show their loyalty, and tomorrow there will be more people coming, and the day after tomorrow... and the day after tomorrow... there will be an endless stream, contagious like the plague.
And those latecomers, in order to show their unwavering loyalty, will donate more and more money, and in the end...
Some people even have to donate all their net worth to get Ma Wei's favor.
"This is power."
Ma Wei stretched out his hand and shook it in the void: "It is invisible and intangible, but it is enough to corrode the power of the mind."
"Father?"
Seeing his appearance, Dino was stunned: "Is this what you...are after?"
"That's all I said."
Putting down his arms, Ma Wei smiled and shook his head: "What I pursue is the truth. I did before and I still do now."
"So should we introduce a indulgence system?" Dino asked: "After all, we are still short of money. We don't know how long the war will last. If we don't regain the lost ground for a day, we will give the refugees a day's payment." Broth, if things go on like this, even the richest countries will not be able to sustain it. Money must beget money. Sitting back and resting on nothing is not a long-term solution."
"Indulgences?"
Ma Wei raised his eyebrows and said categorically: "Impossible. The indulgence system is a representative of sin and corruption. Crime is crime. How can money atone for sin?"

"But these military nobles give us money to prepare for the future! Do we want to settle accounts later?"
Ma Wei fell into thought.
He really needs to think about this issue carefully.
Should we make a clean break today and forget about the past, or should we tolerate it for the time being and settle the score later?
From the bottom of his heart, Ma Wei didn't want to let it go, but if the scores were settled in the future, would other nobles choose to surrender in the future?
The Romanov Kingdom is just the first step in his plan. The development of the Church of Truth will not stop here. Sooner or later, he will return to the Windsor Kingdom to fulfill his wish.
And the United States of Citi on the other side of the ocean....
This is one of the biggest threats to the future.
Ma Wei would never allow them to develop in peace.
Thinking from a rational perspective, letting go of past deeds is the best choice for the overall situation.
"Let me discuss this matter with Her Royal Highness Katerina before making a decision." Ma Wei said: "We can't just go our own way and do the things in front of us first."
"Okay, I'll pay the balance and order the supplies I'll need in the next few days."
With money, Dino's back is straightened up, he walks with a breeze, and he feels more confident when dealing with farmers.
After lunch, Ma Wei started the afternoon's 'training' again. Cultivating new believers is the most important thing at the moment. If you have money but no power, you can only become a fat sheep in the eyes of others. Ma Wei is also in this matter. Almost all the energy was invested.
If what he expected was good...
The next major counterattack will be the main battlefield for the second confrontation between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom.
But this time, the fight is about the foundation.
....................................................
"Archbishop Henry, it's already the third day..."
It was approaching noon, and Paul I had not gotten up yet. He had a fever. He leaned on the bed sickly, holding Ke Lulu in his arms, frowning: "The Truth Church has not shown its fatigue yet. Yesterday I tested Yin Wan. The Duke of Norwich and his colleagues found out that they have no intention of continuing to raise funds..."
Archbishop Henry, who was sitting beside the bed, was not surprised at all by this. Paul I had given away enough benefits and he could not retreat again and again. The nobles could not see the benefits and would certainly not continue to spend money and invest their family wealth. On the thankless task of relieving refugees.
"Obviously, the Church of Truth has received help from other forces." Archbishop Henry said solemnly: "Although we still don't know who is secretly funding them, but no matter what, we should not argue with them on this matter. Competition."
"Are we just going to give up like this? Are we going to fall short?"
"No, Your Majesty, the Church of Truth is too small. The only area where they can increase their reputation and support is the area around Tyumen City. And there are 20 million refugees affected by this disaster. It is impossible for everyone to eat Meat, drinking broth, the priests of the Wisdom Cult have established churches in other cities and recruited many believers. The only area where we have failed is in the area of Tyumen." Archbishop Henry said: "The advantage is still in our hands . ”

After a pause, he added: "In order to expand our advantage, I suggest that we should not let the Church of Truth get the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence. We should send all their priests and monks to the battlefield, and use the war to continuously consume their strength and The manpower prevents them from looking at each other, and during this period, the Wisdom Cult can fully establish a foothold in the Romanov Kingdom. In this way, we will be invincible!"
"Ahem..." Paul I coughed twice, a flush appeared on his face, and he was a little excited: "This is a good idea. I am also planning to send Katerina to the most intense fighting area to let her Charge into battle.”
"Not only that, we should also promulgate wartime laws. In the name of stabilizing the situation on the rear, we should prohibit refugees from moving around and order local police officers to strictly monitor them." Archbishop Henry drew a circle in the air: "It's like a cage. Imprison the Truth Church and their believers near Tyumen City!"
As a king, Paul I certainly had the power to promulgate laws, not to mention that the Senate, composed of nobles, was also under his control. This was an extremely sharp sword that must be used properly.
Taking this opportunity, the Wisdom Cult will occupy the cities in the hinterland of the Romanov Kingdom one after another, vigorously promote their doctrines, and develop believers. With the support of the king, they can easily gain a large number of fans.
Faced with this cunning conspiracy, the Church of Truth can only accept it head-on, with no other way out!
