People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 177 (Five Thousand)
"My Miguel is awesome. We can also make money selling gems by then." Jewelry has always been the fastest way to make money. As long as a high-quality gem is famous and fetched a sky-high price at the auction, then the price of this gem will be It will double in no time.

Although it can be said to be a capitalist scheme, when the Taylor Territory was short of money, the school was about to expand and was preparing to increase enrollment by 5000 students the year after next.

The area reserved for expansion is similar to the area of ​​the manor, and is estimated to be larger than the area of ​​the manor, but it includes some experimental fields.

Such a large building complex can easily cost hundreds of millions.

Additional financial assistance is available to meet urgent needs.

It could lighten Aurora's burden. Miguel was very proud. His smile was brighter than the spring sunshine. Aurora continued to hold his hand, clasping their fingers together, and went to find the alchemist and the others.

It was previously said that military equipment would be added, but only telescopes were added.

Now it’s time to add bright flashlights, batons and handcuffs.Manufacturing quantities have begun to take shape.

As long as it is sent out, the drawings of the Arctic defense project will be released.

The reason why Aurora walked through the tunnel was simply to avoid getting cold.She went to collect the baby dragon right after giving birth, which always caused damage to her body.

She is even more afraid of the cold than before, otherwise she would not often hold the warm baby dragon and not let go.

The baby dragon can be shrunk into the size of a chinchilla, which is gentle and warm.

Hand warmers are not as useful as it.

Xiao Xiami complained that she was tired while walking and wanted Aurora to hug her.

Miguel, an incompetent father, joked: "Aren't you a man? Why do you want your mother to hold you?"

"Then you can hug me. Mom can't hug me, but my dad can hug me." Xiao Xiami is smarter than expected. This is called the "face-saving effect" or the house-breaking effect.

He knew that it was impossible to ask his mother to hold him, but when he asked his father to hold him in the first place, his father would definitely make excuses.

Miguel muttered: "Why is my son so smart? It's not fun." As he spoke, he hugged him.

It’s better to be smart and not easy to deceive. Aurora secretly hoped that her son would grow up quickly.

Little Xiami still didn't know her mother's sinister intentions, so she hugged her father who always wanted to let him go and wouldn't let go.

"Bad dad."

"I'm not bad, but you are too cunning. You can't walk by yourself. You have to follow your mother here, and you end up bothering me." Miguel said.

"I am your son, you must protect me when I am young."

"I am your father, you must respect your old father."

The two father and son were quarreling. You said something to me, hoping that the other would be defeated. Unfortunately, the two language skills were evenly matched.Miguel deliberately released the water again, so the two were tied.

The completion of the laboratory greatly increased the rate of progress in alchemy.

The alchemists have changed to a new environment and are very satisfied with this laboratory. The equipment is clean and complete, and there is a 24-hour constant temperature magic circle. What's even better is that the experiment can finally be separated into separate rooms.

This research institute opened in Aurora's name has more than 300 large and small laboratories in total. It is built on warm stone ground, about four kilometers away from the castle. However, this time it was moved away from the river and instead dug a large pond. , used as a fire-fighting pool.

Nudesi's job as a power station supervisor has ended. He applied for leave this winter and invited his parents to come and live in Beichen.It's just that his parents didn't like the cold weather in Beichen, so they didn't come to settle down. They just came to take a look and left.

So Nudes had a long vacation.

He was lying on a beach chair in the courtyard outside the laboratory and saw Aurora coming over.

Aurora waved her hand to him, indicating that there was no need to salute.

Nudes nodded casually and continued to lie down and bask in the sun. They, the people in the laboratory, were not exposed to the sun all year round. Aurora asked them to sunbathe and do some exercise when they had time, so as not to get sick at home.

So Nudds followed the instructions and came to bask in the sunshine when the weather was nice.

The attitude is quite leisurely.

Seemingly seeing something funny, the little shrimp quickly left his father's arms and threw himself into the beach chair.

Not to mention, it’s very comfortable to lie down like this, and the winter sun is warm.

Miguel said: "Xiaomi, are you lying here? Let's go in first."

"Go on, go on. I, a kid, have nothing to do with your adults' affairs." Xiao Xiami said goodbye and turned sideways to chat with Nudes.

"Uncle Nudes, you said you would make me a big cat lantern, have you made it yet?"

Nudesi was amused by his little adult appearance, "I'm waiting for you to color. Why don't you go into the laboratory with daddy?"

"Dad likes mom the most, only second. When I'm with him, I feel the difference." Xiao Xiami sighed: "The most annoying thing is that dad always likes to find trouble with me."

"When will I pick a fight with you?" Miguel's voice sounded faintly above his head, "I was worried just now that you would be cold outside, so I wanted to give you a small cape of the same style as the military and police."

Little Xiami cried, climbed up and hugged his father's thigh, "Dad, I love you the most. Mom is your big baby, and I am your little baby, right?"

"Don't pull me, I'm looking for trouble with you." Miguel almost laughed at him. Day by day, he was ruining his reputation.

Nudes laughed loudly. He also recently had a girlfriend, who is Levander's niece, a young noble lady.

If the two get married, he hopes to have a child like Xiao Xiami.

Definitely a pistachio.

Miguel caught the little villain and took him to the laboratory. The little military policeman's cape was gone, and the little shrimp was about to cry. I could only hold the baby dragon and accuse Miguel of his crimes.

"Baby Dragon, when you grow up, help me defeat my bad father, okay?"

"But when I grow up, Miguel will be dead."

Xiao Xiami was even more sad. He hadn't seen the true appearance of the dragon, so he didn't know that the dragon could fight Miguel now.

"Apart from mom, aren't there any kind-hearted people in this world who can cure dad?"

Baby Dragon: "I really don't think so!"

Xiao Xiami: "How do you know? There are many people in the world."

"Because I can't beat him." The baby dragon also found it incredible that a human being more powerful than the dragon had never appeared in its inherited memory.

Although it is still a baby, it already has half the strength of an adult.

Xiao Xiami looked at the brazen baby dragon and stroked its head lovingly. How could it be so small and yet so confident?

Comparable to rice balls.I definitely learned it from that little cat on rice balls.

"It's better to wait until I grow up to compete with him."

I don't count on you anymore.Xiao Xiami thought so.

Aurora went to the laboratory for a walk and saw that the medical equipment tools had also been made. They were already being processed in the workshop and would be ready for use in the hospital in less than half a month.

Aurora was very pleased, as expected, the top students would not disappoint.

Recently, a group of apprentices who graduated from the school have entered the laboratory, and the experimental process has been accelerated.

The phone has already been created. The chip and circuit board of the phone are much easier to get than the chip of the broom, and it does not require too complicated technology to crack.

Communication equipment can also keep up with schedules.

Wired calls only need to be available in every territory.

She no longer has to suffer from slow communication.

As for wireless communications, separate base stations must be built.It would be better if there is a touch screen mobile phone. It will be difficult to consider it in this decade because satellites need to be put into the sky and more network settings need to be prepared.

Without funds, Aurora didn’t want to borrow, let alone raise financing.

When technology falls into the hands of capitalists, it is bound to cease to be a monopoly.

Monopoly behavior that is not well controlled is a disaster.

Aurora has always tried her best to control her mentality and balance her psychology, so as to suppress her greed.

The power station is fully prepared and will be put into use before Christmas.

That's good news, the circuit is laid and once it's activated, the phone calls are scheduled.

When Aurora returned to the castle, a servant told her that the call for submissions for the temple had closed, with a total of [-] manuscripts.

The newspaper office has already screened and determined that fifty of the manuscripts can be used. Three of them are very well written, with a strong anti-temple atmosphere, but each has its own characteristics.

They wanted to ask Aurora to take a look and give her a ranking.

Aurora: "Bring it here, just take a look."

Among the three articles selected by the newspaper, the ranking cannot be determined because the three articles are of different types.

One is more humorous, one is more dark, and the other is precise in wording and uses irony incisively.

"Then decide on No. 1 for all three and give them a little sweetener. Sign a contract with them and say that if the sales exceed the reward amount, additional money will be given. But it can only be released exclusively to Beichen."

After the servant delivered the message, he came again the next day. He told Aurora that one of the people who won No. 1 was a former clergyman.

He asked Aurora if she needed to reject the manuscript. "who?"

"Father Arza."

"Pfft." Aurora wanted to laugh loudly, but she held back in front of the servants.She said: "No, no, no. I said there is no restriction on his identity. Don't reveal his identity. Just let him write more. As much as he reveals the secrets of the temple, he will be paid as much as he wants. If he writes well, he will get extra money."

When the servant left, Aurora laughed so hard that her stomach twitched, it was so ironic.

The loyal priest finally became a young man and revealed the dark side of the temple. If it were publicized now, the topic would definitely explode.

Who would have thought that one day, her writer would be a priest.

Being a priest has always been a sacred profession. If Arza could put down his dignity as a priest and submit an article, he would be desperate.

……

Arza was pacing anxiously in the rented apartment, and there was a manuscript he was writing on his desk.

He knew it was time to reveal his identity.

He wondered: Would Aurora reject the manuscript? Would she not accept his manuscript because of previous conflicts?

Arza was indeed desperate, and he was also wanted within the temple. The apprentice threatened to draw a clear line and would come to catch him personally soon.

He has worked diligently in the temple for so many years, but he would not do it if he said he had no money.It’s just that I don’t have enough money to support myself in retirement.

As I get older, I used to rely on my apprentice to support me in my old age, but now my apprentice can't take it, and I can't go back to my family.

He was so focused on his work that he had no descendants.

Survival in old age is a problem.There's really not much money in his wallet.

He was so depressed that he rented a small house to maintain his dignity.

If Aurora doesn't accept his book manuscript, he may really end up living on the street in two years.

Arza was so anxious for several days.

Until he saw his name published in the newspaper.

He really does have a pen name, and he is tied for first place with three people.

Father Arza was excited. The No. 1 Jinsi was enough for him to be popular in Beichen.

Father Arza understood that Aurora had forgiven him.

He was not rejected because of his status as a former priest. It seemed that Aurora would not look down on him as long as he was not from the temple.

He used to think that Aurora was not only targeting the temple, but also individuals.

He is too cautious.

Arza also vaguely understood Aurora's intention. Smart people would not mention it consciously, and it was best for both parties not to meet.

Otherwise, if he mentions the past again, he will sink into the ground and not be able to lift his head up.

On the day he received the award, Arza deliberately grew a beard, put on a felt hat, dressed like a gentleman, and went to the newspaper office.

Several of the newspaper's reporters knew Father Arza.

It's just that the president told me in advance to just treat him as if he didn't know me, and she would take care of the rest.

Anne will be solely responsible for subsequent negotiations.

Regarding the inside story of the temple, if Father Arza can write more, he can sign a labor contract. He will become a writer for the newspaper and write articles about the temple specifically for the newspaper.

"You should know who I am, right? Don't you feel uncomfortable using me?" Arza looked at the labor contract in his hand with a complicated expression. All the terms were very reasonable, and he was not treated badly just because he was a priest.

Annie said: "Why do you have to be so hostile? Think about it seriously, do you and the Taylor family have any deep hatred?"

Arza lowered his head, yes, there is really no deep hatred.

He was a little ashamed and almost wanted to cry, because he had traveled around many places before and people in many places knew him.

Other territories were unwilling to use him because of the temple's affairs. They just felt that he was useless without the temple.

Now, someone is willing to hire him, and at least he doesn't have to worry about being insecure in his later years.

At this moment, Annie somewhat realized why Aurora wanted to use Alza.
There is nothing better than a former enemy becoming one's subordinate.

Not only will it allow him to make more money for himself, but it will also allow him to make more money with all his heart.

"You can take the contract back and look at it more. You can add some conditions or modify it. We are not a black-hearted enterprise and we can discuss it. But after signing the contract, I hope you will not be half-hearted. The traitor himself will give people It leaves a bad impression, and the second and fifth boys have no future." Although Annie followed Aurora's instructions and planned to use Alza, she still gave a few warnings to prevent this person from being too brainwashed by the temple and running away again if someone came to win over him. go back.

But Anne also understood that Aurora would reuse this priest because he had never done anything that would offend both humans and gods.

Arza nodded cautiously. He took the contract and went back to read it. He had studied Beichen's laws carefully.There are no traps in the contract, the newspaper does not take a big share, and the income is [-]-[-] with him, but if the popularity is high, he needs to cooperate with external publicity.

The contract was signed in the end, but he added that he could go out for publicity, but he would never go outside Duke Taylor's territory, that is to say.

He only operates in Duke Taylor's territory.

Anne agreed to the additional condition that Alza spared his life, after all, he was still being hunted.

People from the temple are not allowed to enter the Dukedom of Taylor.

If one is found, he will be treated as a criminal.

Father Arza can completely give up his identity and sneak into Beichen, which is already very powerful.

The other authors signed contracts, and Anne immediately began publishing their stories in newspapers.

The temple's once benevolent exterior was peeled away one by one, revealing its stinky true face.

In these stories, it is mentioned that in order to increase the number of believers, priests violated young girls and forced them to become the playthings of local nobles in order to obtain the construction of temples.

At that time, the innocent girl who believed in the temple and was willing to sacrifice everything for it entered the devil's cave.

They were brainwashed and tortured, but in the end they felt that the temple was good and were willing to continue to worship the temple and pray to enter heaven after death.

Readers' views are shattered after reading this, and they don't understand why people have such a mentality.

The newspaper also gave people popular science about what Stockholm Syndrome is and what mind control is.

There is also the purpose of the temple to collect orphans in order to train minions. Like when McGill was attacked in the imperial capital before, all the children disappeared in the end. Instead of being retaliated by McGill, they were killed and buried by the temple.

In the back mountain of a certain temple, countless lonely souls are buried
The author uses storytelling to tell the story of his discovery of the corpse.

Finally, he also wrote that if the undead invaded this place.

That would be another lost Hunter territory.

These shocking stories, large and small, shocked the entire empire.

The stories published in newspapers gave people an intuitive understanding of the temple's methods.

How the temple promotes people step by step, then brainwashes them, and then makes money.

In the early stage, priests with true faith are allowed to go to the local area to promote the doctrine. If the nobles do not accept such priests, they will change priests. If they are willing to accept them, they will also change priests in the later stage.

Those priests who truly believed either worked for the temple like Arza did, or they disappeared.

There was also a newspaper issue that mentioned the temple before the Temple of Light. It was almost the same model, but it changed over time.The reason why they disappeared so quickly is because they have done many evil things and it is difficult to survive again.

Then the Temple of Light appeared, taking the place of the former temple, and it looked very different.

In fact, the core few people have not changed.

Only Arza knew this secret. When he fled to Beichen, he consulted a large number of documents to understand what was going on.

In order to get rid of control, the current Pope of the Temple of Light unknowingly used believers or assassins to assassinate those people.

Then the family dominates.

What the Pope did actually indirectly caused his status in the empire to decline rapidly.

Otherwise, Aurora would not have suppressed the temple so quickly.

Wherever there is a cause, there must be an effect. The Pope first cut off his own foundation, and then Aurora uprooted himself.

These dark stories not only shocked the common people, but even the royal family couldn't believe it. This temple of light turned out to be the product of the renovation of the former temple.

At this moment, the reputation of the Temple of Light has plummeted, and there is no way it can be restored.

The Pope, who was planning to visit the ruins again, was furious after receiving the news, "What did you say? Then you won't publish a newspaper to counterattack, will you go?"

The priests who delivered the news to the Pope were very innocent. They only knew how to brainwash public opinion, but they did not know how to run a business. They summarized the temple’s style in newspapers.

They say that they can obviously steal money, but they want to give you some faith before robbing them, making people feel that being robbed of money is a gift.

This explanation is in place.
