After spending one night in Novgorod, Mavi and others returned to Mosk the next day.
The affairs of the Night Wolves were handed over to Bishop Gerry, and all the living supplies they needed were provided by the church, which could be regarded as a little compensation to Almeev and the others.
The Yin'ermen Lake incident reminded Ma Wei that the predicted disasters would be not only those extraordinary creatures, but also herbs with strange effects such as Langtou Wu and Blue Moon Algae.
Many uninformed people may accidentally eat or touch it and be in danger.
After thinking about it again and again, Ma Wei found Dino and Li Silde, took out several ancient books and handed them to them.
""Detailed Explanation of Special Herbs", "Encyclopedia of Magic Potion Formulas", "Illustration of Alien Beasts"... Father, why did you give me these things?"
Dino flipped through it casually, not understanding Ma Wei's intention.
"I want you to publish the information and pictures of these special herbs and extraordinary creatures in Pravda and distribute them to the people."
"What?!" Dino's eyes widened and he adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses: "Father, these are ancient books left by the Apocalypse Cult! They are treasures! Do we want to make them all public?"
"If this information is not disclosed, the public will be in danger."
"But even if we do this, the people will not appreciate it! They have no idea how much sacrifice the church has made! It is meaningless!"
"Believers are the foundation of the church, why is it meaningless to protect them?" Ma Wei looked at Dino quietly: "Maybe the people don't know the importance of these data, but this does not prevent us from disclosing the data. What we do is for To protect them, should we not do it just because they don't know? This is complete utilitarianism, Dino... This is the practice of truth. We not only need to know many things and many truths, but we must also do them. "
Dino sighed: "Okay, but Father, have you ever thought about it. If we disclose this information, although many people will avoid danger, there will always be a small number of people who risk their lives to pick these herbs for profit! These herbs are like precious ivory, if people don’t know the value, how can they be poached?”
Greedy poachers do not understand the principle of sustainable development. They are as short-sighted as capitalists and will crazily grab profits until they are exhausted.
"I have already read this "Detailed Explanation of Special Herbs". Most of the herbs recorded in it have terrible side effects, and those who can resist the side effects are only believers or extraordinary creatures who have been blessed by the goddess. Ordinary people cannot deal with them. It’s confrontational.”
"What if there are extraordinary poachers from abroad? The huge profits will make them take risks!"
"Dealing with poachers with extraordinary abilities is the job of the Aurora Society. I arranged the extraordinary races with powerful power near the border to deal with extraordinary people in other areas."
Dino stopped talking and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing his appearance, Ma Wei's tone softened a bit: "Dino, I know that everything you do is for the church. You hope that the church can prosper and that the church's financial problems can be solved. I also believe that You can do it, it's just about protecting people.... The church has to make concessions."
"If you were not such a person, Father, I probably wouldn't have followed you in the first place." Dino smiled and asked Li Silde to put away the ancient books: "It's nothing to publish the information about herbal medicines and extraordinary races in newspapers. Question, what is this "Compendium of Potion Formulas" for? Father, don't tell me that you even want to make the formula public..."
"Of course the formula cannot be made public. This is a means of production that belongs to all the people. If it is made known to everyone, wouldn't it lose its value?" Ma Wei said calmly as he picked up the tea cup: "I give you this formula because I want to Allows you to set a detailed price for the magic potion based on the above content, the rarity of the materials and the effect of the finished potion. For example, Langtouwu can be used to make psychedelic potions. It is very difficult to obtain and requires the attention of the Night Wolf clan. If you pick it from the bottom, herbs like this will be more expensive..."
Dino's eyes gradually lit up, like a hunter who saw a treasure.
That's it...that's it!
He completely understood what Ma Wei was thinking!
Why is the price of Langtouwu high?
Because where a large number of wolf-headed crows grow, there is likely to be a night wolf tribe!
If you want to pick wolf-headed crows, you must pass the night wolf tribe. For other kingdoms, this work is very risky, and you will die if you are not careful, but in the eyes of the Church of Truth...
Need langtouwu?
Say hello to the Night Wolves and buy directly from them!
Invisibly, the cost of obtaining herbal medicines is reduced!
If the cost is lowered but the price remains unchanged, won’t the profit come?
And the tears of the Seran tribe... This thing is extremely precious and must be obtained directly from the Seran tribe. The danger and difficulty are extremely high. Other kingdoms may have to work hard to get a few drops, but the Church of Truth does not need it. Such trouble!
"Father, Father..." Dino shook his head and smiled: "So you have thought about it all."
"There is no absolute bad thing in the world, and there is no absolute good thing. The bad things for some groups may be good things for other groups. The disclosure of herbal medicine information will also be of great benefit." Ma Wei said quietly: "In a few days, , I will set off for the Kingdom of Windsor. As a grocer, I will need you to provide me with supplies. If a buyer asks me how I know the names and effects of these herbs, I can openly say that they are public information from the Church of Truth... ..”
"Use magic potions to get close to the top leaders of the Kingdom of Windsor?" Dino said in surprise: "This is really a good idea. In a few days, magic potions will definitely become extremely popular, and the grocers who sell magic potions will also be very popular... ..Has the identity issue been settled?”
"Daniel will help to find out the identity. He is a grocer from the Kingdom of Frederick. Just like you, he has many connections and buys medicinal materials from all over the world. Only they can't think of it. There is nothing I can't buy... To deal with those old foxes, It won’t do if you don’t have to be more careful.”
"Don't worry, Father, I will prepare everything you need by then. I have experience in this matter." Dino said with a smile.
"The containers used to store herbal medicines must have no markings, and the source must not be traced. The materials must be carefully selected. If it is a wooden box, remember to use wood from the area close to Frederick's Kingdom."
"No problem, I'll cover it!"
"Things are different now, Dino..."
Mavey stood up and walked to the window, looking at the Mosk River not far away. He said in a calm voice: "Now, we have reached the highest point of the Romanov Kingdom. Behind us is the vast and majestic Romanov Kingdom. Our land, beside us, are countless comrades we can trust! We...already have the capital to be on an equal footing with those kingdoms and churches!"
"When the next cold wave hits the world... we are destined to bear the brunt."
"We don't need to be confused or afraid. The light of truth will guide us on the way forward. Everything in the world is based on truth. Under the truth...it's all falsehood!"
....................................................
September 13, noon, Mosk.
A train entered the Central Station and stopped at Platform 1. As soon as the door opened, a non-commissioned officer in gray military uniform rushed off the train, hurriedly jumped onto the four-wheeled carriage waiting for guests outside the station, and rushed towards the Kremlin. .
Da da da....
Da da da....
The sound of almost galloping footsteps sounded in the corridor. Katerina, who was enjoying lunch, held a lamb chop sandwich dipped in sour cream in one hand and the quarterly financial report presented by the Chancellor of Finance in the other. Even during meal time They are all busy with government affairs.
Card!
The door to the office was pushed open violently. Katerina frowned. Just as she was about to reprimand, she heard the noncommissioned officer who rushed into the room pull out a document and shouted loudly: "Urgent... emergency military report! Your Majesty is not good." Yes! The Southwest Front Army, Northwest Front Army, First and Second Army, they are treason!!!"
The Southwestern Front is the army led by the Duke of Tbilisi, the Northwestern Front is the army under Count Shirkov, and the leader of the first and second armies is Duke Ivanovich. Their combined strength is 60 Ten thousand!
More than two months ago, the Church of Truth defeated the Church of Wisdom and the Kingdom's army fled. Katerina did not regard them as a formidable enemy and sent generals such as Makarov, Ruos, Goffman, and Onufri to pursue them. , adhering to the strategy of recruiting and surrendering, trying to disintegrate the military power of Duke Yinvanovich and others, and gather the army without any blood...
No one paid much attention to Duke Ivanovich and others. Although they had many troops under their command, they did not have the help of the church. On the other hand, the troops chasing them, such as Onufri and Makarov, were small but powerful. There are many monks from the Church of Truth in the army, and the strength of the two sides is not proportional at all.
What's more, the defeated Royal Army was frightened and fled in two directions. Count Shirkov fled to Helsinki, while Duke Ivanovich and Duke of Tbilisi fled to Warsaw and Kiev, where they established a final line of defense. When a bloody conflict broke out, Katerina did not order a storm. Instead, she issued a letter of surrender in the name of the queen. All soldiers who surrendered would be exempted from guilt and would never be held accountable.
Under the Queen's invitation, nearly half of the soldiers surrendered in the past two months, escaped from the military camp at night, and returned to the Romanov Kingdom. Katerina also fulfilled her promise, did not embarrass these soldiers, and even allowed them to continue serving. , it just broke up the organization and reorganized it, and changed the commander.
The situation is excellent. Even if they do not launch an attack, Duke Ivanovich and others will not be able to hold on for long. When winter comes, they will be short of supplies and their morale will naturally collapse. By then, Katerina will be able to win without a fight, but... ..
Something that no one expected happened.
Just yesterday, Duke Ivanovich declared independence in Warsaw and wanted to break away from the Romanov Kingdom!
As soon as Duke Ivanovich's declaration of independence came out, the Duke of Tbilisi who was hiding in Kiev immediately responded and also declared independence. As for Count Shirkov in the northwest, I am afraid that he will also issue a declaration of independence soon and break away from Romano. husband kingdom.
boom!
Katerina slapped the desk hard, causing the teacup to jingle. She clenched her teeth and her eyes were full of evil spirits: "They are looking for death! Immediately send an order to Makarov and the others to attack Warsaw, Kiev, and Helsinki, and kill these people who want to rebel." The traitor will be sent to the gallows!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, on the day they heard that Duke Ivanovich and others declared independence, General Makarov and others launched an attack and are currently fighting fiercely!"
"A fierce battle? How come there is a fierce battle? Father Ma Wei has left so many monks here, so there shouldn't be any suspense in this battle!"
"It's Popon...oh no, it's the Bonaparte Empire that has sent troops for reinforcements!" the messenger sergeant said quickly: "A group of monks from the Wisdom Cult bypassed the Kingdom of Frederick and came from the Empire of Barbarossa The country has sneaked into Kiev, Warsaw, and Helsinki!”
"Napoleon!!!"
Katerina instantly understood that the person behind the scenes must be Napoleon Bonaparte! He did everything possible to split the Romanov Kingdom!
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" The messenger sergeant's eyes were horrified. He had obviously heard of Napoleon's name: "Do you want to declare war on the Bonaparte Empire?"
Katerina sat back in her chair, put her forehead with one hand, and rubbed her throbbing temples: "The whole world is targeting us...those damn bastards...not only blocking us, but also secretly creating divisions." ....Okay, okay, okay...well done!"
"Marusha!"
"His Majesty."
"Fetch Father Marvey!"
