Father Mavie

Chapter 363 One step is wrong, every step is wrong (please subscribe!!!)

Saturday, June 6, Saratov.

"Wyson! Wyson!"

When Huaisen dragged his exhausted body and returned home with a few shriveled potatoes in his arms, his wife Veronica ran out of the kitchen quickly, and took out a brand new 5-ruble coupon with a joyful face. Look, Sen! We are rich!"

"Where did you get the money?" Huaisen took off his sweat-soaked linen shirt, picked up a towel and wiped his body, "Did it come from Father Goncharov?"

"No! It's a subsidy from the kingdom! 3 rubles for children, 5 rubles for adults, every citizen can get the money!"

Huaisen looked suspicious. It wasn't that he doubted his wife, but that the kingdom gave subsidies to civilians. It had never happened before, and it felt very unreal.

But the 5 ruble denomination in the wife's hand, the coupons that still exude the fragrance of ink are real.

"The king still cares about us!" Veronica said excitedly: "I heard that the grant of subsidies is the suggestion of the Wisdom God! The king adopted the proposal of Archbishop Henry and decided to give each citizen 5 rubles. It's great that we finally Food can be bought!"

Ever since receiving the potatoes sent by Scott King, Wyson has accepted the kindness of the Church of Truth. He even secretly joined the Church of Truth behind his wife's back. He believes in Scott King, Father Goncharov, and Mavie Enders believed by Scott King, Father Goncharov.

Now that the kingdom is suddenly granting subsidies to all citizens, Huaisen is a little worried, thinking that this is the enemy's sugar-coated shells, trying to paralyze the people.

The secret police arrested the rioters, and the kingdom gave subsidies to the people. Isn't this a typical way to give a sweet date with a stick?

Although Huai Sen is illiterate, he is not stupid and knows that there is no such thing as a good thing in the sky.

"There should be food at home, Veronica, cook first, I'm going out for a while."

Putting on a soft nylon hat and a clean shirt, Wysen opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Veronica asked, "Are you going to collect the money? Now they are off work, let's go tomorrow!"

"No, not to collect the money, I" Huaisen made an excuse: "I went to Uncle Lisong's house. I heard that he has been ill recently, so I have to visit him."

"Oh well, come back quickly, dinner will be ready soon."

"Ah."

After leaving the house, Huaisen looked around to make sure there were no secret police or police eyeliners around, then hid in the shadow of dusk, walked quickly to the next street, and knocked on the door of No. 56 residents.

Soon, a middle-aged man with beard and rosy nose appeared in front of Huai Sen holding a wine bottle. Huai Sen ignored the greetings and hurriedly said, "Uncle Lisong, let me borrow it."

"come in."

The middle-aged man moved away, let Huai Sen enter the house, then glanced at the street, and quickly closed the door.

"Recently, the secret police have become more and more strict. All residents who have anything to do with the Church of Truth will be taken away for interrogation. The world is really chaotic."

While muttering, Huaisen pushed open the cabinet standing in the corner. There was a big black hole behind the cabinet, and the wall was opened to connect with the next door.

"Go and come back quickly, don't be discovered." The middle-aged man said after taking a sip of his wine.

Wisen knocked on the closet of the next-door resident, and a woman opened the closet not long after. Wisen got into her house along the hole, ran to the other side, and finally came to Father Goncharov after going through many times. leased house.

"Father!"

"It's Watson"

Sitting at the tea table, Goncharov, who was reading the "Book of Truth", raised his head and smiled at the approaching Huaysen: "What's the matter?"

"Do you know that the kingdom has started to distribute subsidies?" Huai Sen spoke eagerly: "5 rubles per person! What does the God of Wisdom want to do?"

"Father Marvie has given us instructions on this matter."

Goncharov closed the "Book of Truth", put his palms on his chest, and nodded respectfully at the statue above the fireplace: "What he means is to let you rest assured that you will receive the money, after all, it is free, don't want it .”

"Is this really good?" Wysen asked, "The God of Wisdom must want to use this money to do something!"

"They just want to appease the anger of the people." Goncharov poured him a cup of black tea: "Everything is expected. With the financial resources of the Romanov Kingdom, the subsidy will not be issued for a long time, and it will end soon. .”

"If only our anger could be appeased so easily"

Huai Sen curled his lips, he didn't have much affection for the Wisdom God Cult. After all, the Wisdom God Cult was on the king's side. Strictly speaking, they were also the accomplices of the aristocracy, at least in Huai Sen's eyes.

"When you go back, remember to use the money to buy some food and stock it up," Goncharov reminded.

"why?"

"Because... Father Mawei said so, and I don't know the specific reasons." Goncharov shrugged: "He asked all the priests to tell the believers that after receiving the subsidy, they should immediately buy the cheapest and long-term products. Stored staples like potatoes, corn, etc.”

"I see. After I go back, I will ask Veronica to spend all the money to buy food."

"Very well, we have to trust Father Mawei's judgment, he will not make mistakes."

"Praise the goddess."

After drinking the black tea, Huai Sen bowed to the statue, returned home the same way, found Veronica who had just made dinner, got a 5 ruble ticket, hurried out, and went to the market to buy potatoes.

It wasn't until the sun had completely sunk into the horizon that night was approaching that he returned home with a whole sack of potatoes.

"Wysen! Why did you buy so many potatoes!"

Seeing that her husband bought potatoes with all the money, Veronica was a little angry: "You didn't discuss it with me! There are almost no seasonings at home! You should buy some salt and sugar!"

Huaisen lowered his head, obediently listened to his wife's reprimand, and never mentioned anything about the Church of Truth. Just like Goncharov chose to believe in Ma Wei, he also chose to believe in Ma Wei.

June 6, Moscow, St. Basil's Cathedral.

"Something happened! Something happened!"

The shouts broke the quiet summer morning. Dino rushed into the church with a newspaper in his hand, trotted all the way to the bathroom, and slammed on the door: "Father! Something serious happened!"

"and many more!"

Ma Wei put on his trousers, washed his hands, walked out of the bathroom, looked at the same place, and Dino, who was sweating profusely, asked, "What happened?"

"Latest news! The subsidy issued by the kingdom is not the money donated by the nobles, but the new banknotes printed by the central bank!!!"

Dino said in an almost roaring tone, "Father, do you know what this means?"

"I know." Mavi nodded slowly: "Inflation is a very simple and basic economic principle."

"You know you know."

Dino suddenly lost his temper, and it took a long time before he said quietly: "Father, you can't be pretending?"

"Pretend what?"

"Pretend you don't understand economics."

"It's true that I don't understand economics better than ordinary people, but I still have a big gap with a big businessman like you." Ma Wei said frankly.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Dino reacted and became anxious again: "Inflation! Father! The Central Bank of the Romanov Kingdom printed 8 million rubles in cash at once and put them all into the market. This...prices will soar!"

"At first, I thought that Archbishop Henry would let the nobles spend money to subsidize the deficit of the Romanov Kingdom, but just in case, I still let the believers use the money to buy food. I hope I am wrong, but unfortunately .”

Ma Wei sighed long, not knowing whether he should be happy for Archbishop Henry's stupidity or sad for the impending plight of the people:
"It seems that the turmoil will come earlier than I imagined. What a pity, Archbishop Henry. One wrong step, every step is wrong."
