Chapter 357 How about building a city?
Divine power is a good thing.
Novin has expressed emotion more than once.
This world has not developed complex and sophisticated technology, but a system of "divine arts" transformed by the blessings of gods. This is because divine power is really outrageous!
In the world where Novan originally lived, the issue of currency anti-counterfeiting was almost a never-ending dilemma.
From the type of currency material, to the type of ink, to various special anti-counterfeiting methods.
It's simple here.
As long as you are not afraid of being damaged, even if you get a leaf and add [divine text] words and patterns on it, you can still form a "currency" that cannot be counterfeited.
All Novin had to do was to put restrictions on divine magic.
When believers use this magic.
While "deducting" the destiny points you have, you can rub them into currency of the corresponding denomination.
Or "increase" the number of destiny points corresponding to the denomination, the magic becomes invalid, and the words and patterns disappear.
As for those who have not yet become believers, they can directly use these rubbing "destiny points" as currency like gold, silver and copper coins.
…
Townspeople in several small towns soon received similar news:
"Destiny points?"
"Only minimal relief will be provided."
"If you want to get more help, do you need to pay destiny points?"
"The Qiuzhi Church has enough things for everyone to help. As long as you help and work hard, you will be rewarded with destiny points?"
"After the disaster is over, can the relevant work still be done?!"
Regarding such a request, the townspeople said - they have no objection at all!
Not only did they have no objection, they even felt quite happy!
The reason why I’m happy is: this is a stable job!
Stablize!
Stability is the key!
Although these people live in small towns, their quality of life is actually only a little better than that of farmers in villages.
The most "upper-level" ones have stable jobs, such as running a certain store, or being employed as clerks or helpers.
Although most ordinary people have broken away from their status as farmers, their income is still very unstable.
Wearing multiple hats is the norm.
Go work in some workshop during the day and help prepare some magic materials and magical materials;
I have to do some chores in the evening to support the family.
If you lose your job one day, you may go bankrupt very quickly and become a homeless person, a beggar, or even a refugee.
What the seekers of knowledge can provide is equivalent to a stable, long-term job, and they will also provide corresponding remuneration.
Some townspeople who were good at math scratched the ground with wooden sticks for a while and came to a conclusion.
"If calculated based on destiny points, the income is the same as before!"
The townspeople are even happier!
There is no need to worry about one day suddenly losing the source of income and the whole family will go hungry. They have secured this iron-clad job!
They can do this job until they can't do it anymore!
…
How to provide enough "jobs" for ordinary people in Ceylon came from an extremely bold idea by Pat.
"How about we...take Chim Town as a starting point and gradually expand this town into a city?"
"Building a city will always require a large number of workers!"
"When this disaster is over and the city is established, they won't be like small workshops that can only produce a little bit of materials here and there."
“It is completely possible to organize a medium- to large-scale production chain!”
“From collection, to processing, to preparation!”
"It just so happens that our consumption of various materials will also increase, and this industry chain will become more and more prosperous!"
As soon as the idea came up.
The believers thought about it.
It seems...it can really be done!
The main reason is that as this disaster relief operation progresses, everyone begins to realize one thing:
The production of materials in the Ceylon region has gradually failed to keep up with the increasing consumption needs of members of the Seeking for Knowledge Church.
Nothing else.
The proportion of believers of the God of Knowledge, professionals, or chosen ones, is 100%.
Everyone can receive blessings from God.
In the past, there were only a handful of God-chosen people who could receive blessings from the Ceylon Territory and master powerful divine arts.
Take the Crusaders as an example. The minimum recruitment requirements of Level 3 result in a population of tens of thousands in the entire Ceylon region, and the Crusaders only have the size of a hundred-man regiment.
As long as the output of materials can supply these people.
Excess production can only be squeezed into the warehouse, and timeliness must be considered. If it is not used for too long, it will become invalid.
Most of them are produced in small workshops and family-style, and then passed on to middlemen who are responsible for purchasing and selling.
Except for a few specialty materials, the output of most general materials is quite low, only at a sufficient level.
After all, if you have too much, you won't be able to use it up, it will just be wasted.
It's different now.
With the ever-increasing number of believers in the Church of Seeking Knowledge, the material consumption of various magical arts is simply a bottomless pit that cannot be filled at all!
The production capacity in the Ceylon region cannot keep up!
Expanding production is urgent.
Now is just the right time!
Under the disaster of eternal night, the threat of monsters was firmly suppressed by the believers seeking knowledge.
The order in the place where mortals gather is no longer deteriorating, and the environment has returned to safety.
Simply integrate everyone, take the lead of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, organize large-scale projects, and provide batches of jobs!
Regarding the issue of whether the construction of the city complies with the legal principles of the Kingdom of Reyak.
Pat's thinking took advantage of a loophole in the Kingdom's laws.
no way.
Being born into a noble family was an advantage. Pate knew the information and knowledge about the kingdom's laws very well.
He did not build a new city from scratch in the wilderness.
Instead, it will be expanded on the basis of Qim Town.
Nominally, this place is still Chime Town.
It's just that the population is dozens of times larger than a normal town, the area is dozens of times larger, and the economy is countless times more prosperous.
But at the administrative level.
Well, it’s a small town!
What a small town!
Who dares to say that it is not a small town? Who is Pett worried about?
Ordinary people in Ceylon came to live in Chimu Town "spontaneously and voluntarily". This is an individual act and cannot be controlled by the laws of the Kingdom.
Pick the place Chime Town.
It's because Pate took its location into consideration.
The Ceylon region has a hilly terrain with undulating terrain, and several towns are basically in relatively gentle areas.
The transfer station between the border and Ceylon City can be said to be the only way to the dark forest. It has a superior geographical location and high strategic value. After the disaster is over, it can be easily connected with several territories of the Church of Seeking Knowledge. trading.
Moreover, there is a low stone mountain next to it, which can use local materials to provide the building raw materials needed for expansion.
After the city building plan was finalized, it was natural that the current chief architect of the Church of Knowledge, Mr. Ray Wayne, lost his hair.
Listen to the ideas put forward by Peter and the others.
Ray Wayne went half crazy on the spot.
"What the hell?"
"Ask me to design a city that is expected to be larger than Ceylon?!"
"Don't you think this is something that can be done by just one person?"
