Struggle in the Steam Age

After finalizing the style of the bow, the sampan successfully leaned on the trestle. Then the three people jumped on the trestle and walked towards Lawrence's port office. On the way, Peter talked to Lawrence about some instructions that Lambert had entrusted him to tell Lawrence.

"Priest Lambert asked me to tell you that after you go in for a while, you have to follow them and bargain with the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Fortune." Peter's first exhortation made Lawrence feel that some of the three views collapsed, and he felt that This kind of thing should not be bargaining.

After seeing Lawrence’s face, Priest Peter also probably guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, “If it’s another majesty, in this case, it’s definitely not bargaining, but the Church of the Goddess of Trade and Wealth is one An example. If you don’t try your best, then you can only get about 80% of the reward you deserve. But if you can really convince the other party, you will get 120% of the reward."

"It sounds reasonable." Lawrence realized at this time that gods and gods are also different. For example, for the church of knowledge, preservation, identification and dissemination of knowledge is the core of the church, while for the agricultural church, the development of agriculture is Their core. So for the Church of Trade and Wealth, the core is naturally to maintain the existing trade and make everyone rich.

Therefore, it should be a normal thing to bargain in negotiations with the clergy of the Church of Trade and Wealth, because this negotiation process conforms to the teachings of their goddess.

As soon as he walked into the corridor, Lawrence heard the heated discussion from the conference room echoing in the corridor. And when he opened the door, he saw a group of guys dressed as local tyrants discussing with his father and the priests of the agricultural church.

For the clergy who serve other gods, if you make others feel like a nouveau riche at first glance, it is a very bad situation, but for the clergy of the Church of Trade and Wealth, if you see them, Speak from the heart that these clergy are really rich, and they will think it is a compliment.

Because the welcoming back to the gods was a very formal event for them, each of them wore the most formal dress, but this kind of dress did not have much solemn feeling in Lawrence’s eyes, but made him I think the taste of these people is no different from that of the nouveau riche.

Each of them is wearing a silk shirt, leather sleeves and short boots, a gold-plated crown studded with gems, and various gadgets tied with a silk ribbon on the hem, and wearing a short top, trousers, and stockings outside. . There is a sleeveless short robe on the outside. Of course, these clothes are all made of the most expensive fabrics and furs, and use a variety of bright and gorgeous design styles as much as possible.

Then put a heavy gold-plated red cloak on the outermost layer of these clothes, decorated with thousands of sequins and hooks made of various precious metals, and finally a pair of white gloves and a pair of magic inlaid gems And a gilded scepter. The senior clergyman who led the team also wore a large crown of pure gold inlaid with precious stones.

In short, the dressing style adopted by each of them looks like the dressing style of the rock stars of Lawrence's last life and the nouveau riche. On the whole, it is more than a shirtless tattoo with a big gold chain on the neck. The taste can be a little bit higher.

Obviously, the two other clergy present also couldn't understand the appearance of the nouveau riche of this group of wealth churches. Think about it, both agricultural churches and knowledge churches advocate diligence and thrift, and spend money where it should be. So when they looked at these church priests who looked as if they were opening a jewelry store, although they were very ceremonial, everyone could feel their inner discomfort.

However, the priests of the trade and wealth church on the opposite side did not feel that there was anything wrong. Anyway, this doctrinal difference made everyone look at each other upset. This can be regarded as a common situation when they communicate with some churches. Therefore, these priests were not affected in any way, and arguing fiercely with the two priests present.

After entering the scene, Lawrence quickly joined the arguing negotiation scene, and then began to list various examples to prove how cruel the battle to regain the idol was, what a price he paid, and how powerful the enemy was. . Through these, you can prove how much you have paid in order to get this idol back, and then increase the price.

After six hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on this matter. For the Knowledge Church and the Agricultural Church, the Fortune Church used a favor as a reward for their move. This is far more valuable to the two churches than giving reality.

For the New Sauer Island represented by Lawrence, the compensation given by the Church of Trade and Wealth is to build a small church here. And it is guaranteed that the permanent presence here includes an extraordinary person, and the overall number of priests is not less than three.

For a territory, if more Orthodox churches can live in, it will definitely promote the development of this place. But for any Orthodox church, the clergy of the church will never be enough. Therefore, it is not easy to find a church that is willing to stay in a new area like Neusauer Island.

For example, among the two churches on the island, the Knowledge Church came to the son's territory because Lawrence's adoptive father was a priest of the church. The agricultural church first sent people here because it owed Lawrence a great need for favors. Later, attracted by the various advanced agricultural technology conjectures raised by Lawrence, it decided to set up a permanent agriculture here. Chapel of the Goddess Church.

Therefore, if the Church of Trade and Wealth is willing to set up a small church on the island, it must be a very good thing for this island. Even in terms of attracting immigrants, it can provide great help.

According to what Peter said on the road, in fact, when the new immigrants who were attracted by the information on the island came to the pier, many people wanted to replace them when they saw the rough and temporary buildings in the town. The place of emigration, fortunately, after learning that there are two Orthodox churches on the island, they both chose to stay.

Therefore, ~www.ltnovel.com~ Lawrence is also very satisfied with the remuneration proposed by Fortune Church. At least he thinks this is more sincere than the simple monetary rewards or compensation with some magic items at the beginning.

In particular, the importance of foreign trade on New Sauer Island after the farms, hospitals, and small pharmaceutical workshops attached to the hospitals were gradually built up. The ships passing by were not known to have turned several times. Although it is still dominated by the offshore merchant ships sent from the surrounding islands, the future prosperity is completely predictable.

Therefore, it is quite meaningful to build a church of the goddess of trade and wealth in this place, and such a church can greatly promote the increasingly prosperous trade on the island.

After all the questions were settled, the clergy of the Church of Trade and Wealth inspected and received the very precious statue, and then the leading priest who looked like a wealthy businessman suddenly asked: "You found it on the ship Is this the only thing related to our church?"

"Except for this thing. I guess only a few gems and a dozen gold bars may have been taken from your church." Mr. Lambert stood up and said. "But according to the rules, these are not important and extraordinary items, so they should be regarded as our trophies. If you want to get them back, you must provide enough ransom."
