Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 440: Church work

"You were sweet with him for a while, and bitter for a while, what are you talking about?" After Lawrence watched Count Santo Domingo leave him with milk tea, Nora's voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Obviously, Nora has been linking his soul through the connection between the two souls when eating just now, so after listening to the exchange between Lawrence and the Earl of Santo Domingo, she said something that interests her. Inquired.

"We were talking about business just now." Lawrence was happy to explain to Nora what happened just now, so he ate a lot of Yingzhou-style fried food in front of him, and through the soul connection to the little doll Explained. "I have to say that as a nobleman who has passed on for hundreds of years, they have many merits in inheritance. At least this generation of Santo Domingo has an unprecedented sense of business."

"Business smell, how do you say it?" Since the soul connection is two-way, Nora will not defend Lawrence's soul. So after concentrating. He saw Nora swallowing a fresh cream cake about the size of her face and wiped her mouth, and then she was sitting there with a serious face, ready to listen to Lawrence's talk.

"Because he realized that this new type of beverage has a rigid demand for sugar when he first drank milk tea." Lawrence said, although he had drank various salted milk tea in the northwest and north during his travels in his previous life. And I think the taste is not bad, but it is undeniable that the most popular is the sweet milk tea.

After all, compared to other flavors, intelligent creatures actually prefer sweet food. It is a pity that traditional tea is not suitable for adding sugar, so everyone can only drink pure tea directly. But this changed quickly after the new black tea was invented by Lawrence.

Because there are memories of two worlds, Lawrence himself is naturally aware of this trend. But considering that sugar making is a labor-intensive industry and the most lack of manpower on his island, he gave up the idea of ​​growing sugar cane by himself. Of course, this just makes him feel a little regretful. He also knows that people cannot greedily want to keep all the profits of the entire industrial chain in their hands.

Therefore, the proposal of the Earl of Santo Domingo actually fits his current needs. Because his neighbors do not currently grow sugar cane to produce sugar, so as long as the earl’s sugar is of good quality and he is willing to pay a sufficient price, Lawrence naturally does not mind letting the sugar on his island and his own black tea. Bundle promotion.

Just like the industrial chains of the Caribbean island countries in the previous life, not only did some top coffees be produced there, but also the most luxurious sugars on Jamaica. And this kind of industrial chain not only allows the islands to earn a lot of extra wealth through mutual cooperation, but also makes the relationship between the islands become closer.

Lawrence, as a newcomer to this sea area, naturally doesn't mind connecting the surrounding islands and various forces with himself as the core. So if the earl is willing to tie up the economy of his island with the island of New Sauer, for example, using the work points issued by Lawrence as a settlement, Lawrence is even willing to give up some of the benefits to the earl.

"Ah, this kind of thing sounds a bit annoying." Lawrence began to explain to Nora one by one through the soul connection the content of his communication with the earl and the things behind it, but the little doll only listened for a few minutes Just a little bored. "I just need to know that you can benefit from this matter."

Obviously, the puppet is not very interested in these tedious and mundane things, and even scorns the way the nobles communicate. The reason for asking Lawrence about this matter was purely out of concern for him. So when she learned that Lawrence could benefit from this matter, she immediately turned her attention back to the pile of delicious foods in front of her. Lawrence saw her end the call and directly lifted a cup full of eggnog the size of her thigh and drank it.

In fact, Lawrence has been curious about one thing. That's how the puppet can eat so much food. At least today, the things he saw the little doll ate were about three or four as big as the little doll, but in this case, Nora hadn't changed at all in appearance. Lawrence thought it might be because of the power of magic.

In the next period of time, Lawrence and Syfiel mainly communicated with the clergy of various churches about the next steps of the island in addition to eating food. Now there are three churches resident on the island. They are the agricultural church, the knowledge church and the wealth church. These churches have gradually merged with New Sauer Island after this period of running-in.

For example, the members of the Church of Knowledge have been busy holding mobile literacy classes in various farms and settlements, and at the same time gathering the children for basic education. Even Lawrence's adoptive father was busy putting aside the business he used to do and spent most of the day in the only elementary school in New Sauerport. After all, for them, spreading civilization and educating sentient beings is more important than their own research.

People in the agricultural church are busier than those in the knowledge church, because it takes a lot of experimentation to verify the circular agriculture proposed by Lawrence. Therefore, they usually keep only the most basic personnel in the church in the port of Neussauer, while the rest of the personnel all go to the fields and even take a boat to the fishing grounds for various observations.

In the beginning, the farm workers and fishermen did not understand why these big men put on coarse cloth and worked with them on the farmland and fishery. But after discovering that these big people in their eyes were not only amiable, but also able to help them point out some shortcomings in their work, these fishermen and farm workers naturally accepted them.

For the clergy of the agricultural church, the practice of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is also one of their traditional methods of preaching. And they also know that these frontline farmers and fishermen are actually people who have a full knowledge of that piece of land, so only by going deep into these civilians can they get the precious first-hand information.

But a direct manifestation of this is that every clergyman in the agricultural church is actually very busy at ordinary times, especially when there are important topics to be studied. Today I can gather here because these two days are harvest festivals and everyone is resting. So when Lawrence told them that the agricultural church in Elsion would also send people to help with the research, they all smiled happily.

As for the Fortune Church, it was originally the most idle of the three existing churches on the island, because at the beginning there was not much economic circulation on the island. In order to prevent them from making any moths because of their boredom, Lawrence simply asked them to help issue the currency on the island.

As a result, the Fortune Church immediately became busy. Since there were only five or six members of the Fortune Church on the island, each of them now has a lot of work on their hands. However, because Lawrence had previously considered that in order to let the horses run, the horses must graze, he specially wrote some financial knowledge related to currency issuance in his mind and gave them as a reward. So they are now actively working overtime and busy with these things.

In addition to planning the next development of the island together, Lawrence and the others also discussed some matters related to the coming of the Church of the Crucifixion to the island, such as trivial matters such as the location of the church in the future. And while they were discussing, those nobles also filled their stomachs with food and started various kinds of communication.
