Pioneering

To put it bluntly, the free belief platform described by Zhong Ming’s so-called Shared Believers Plan is the same as cutting leeks like the shared bicycles, shared cars, and shared ** that burned money to grab users and then went public to make money.

It's just that the entrepreneurs of Blue Star use this method to harvest retail investors, and what Zhong Ming wants to harvest in this PPT is the weak gods of the star world.

There are many small countries in the Northern Continent. Many weak gods rely on this foundation to accumulate devout believers in the kingdom of God. Zhong Ming wants to unify the Northern Continent. The will of these weak gods to resist must be stronger than the twelve main gods and powerful gods. much.

After all, powerful gods can not only support kingdoms and empires on the mainland, but also explore the subplanes attached to the world tree.These sub-planes are large and small, and those with perfect rules can even support hundreds of millions of believers.

Moreover, powerful gods can also attract the souls of devout believers into the Kingdom of God after death, thereby continuously accumulating a large number of high-quality sources of power of faith, and can also select souls who are good at fighting to transform into heroes/guards/angels, privately They don't know how many powerful divine guards they have trained to form the Cloud Corps.

The most profitable ways are often those that ordinary people cannot touch or hear.The best way to earn faith is often something that ordinary gods can't hear or touch, which makes them feel itchy, scratching their heads and ears, and feeling endlessly disappointed.

This snowball-like growth method can easily narrow the gap between the powerful gods and the weak gods. It is also this situation that makes it extremely difficult for the weak gods to break through the star realm after they have obtained the method to gather power the day after tomorrow. s reason.

Zhong Ming smashed Poseidon's job in the North Continent, Poseidon was very angry, and the gods descended many times and Zhong Ming made real offline, but after the kingdom of Anason gradually rose in the West Continent, Poseidon, although very unwilling in this struggle, But he still pinched his nose to admit it.

This means that the more wealth (belief) you have, the stronger your ability to resist risks.

The world doesn't starve politicians, does it?
But if Zhong Ming cuts off the belief in the god of cakes, the god of spring breeze, the god of thieves, etc., it will be equivalent to the feudal dynasty robbing the farmers of their food.

He will definitely have to fight to the death with Zhong Ming.

These gods are not strong, and their ability to fight power is weak. Zhong Ming is not afraid of fighting head-on with ten or one hundred. Just kidding, is it possible that he is afraid of being entangled in cakes?
But these little gods are really determined to do bad things. Today a saint descends to make trouble here, and tomorrow there a projection destroys a village. Then Zhong Ming can’t do anything, and be ready to put out the fire as soon as possible all day long.

Of course, as long as they resist the initial wave of counterattacks, these little gods with less and less sources of faith will naturally reduce their attack frequency and eventually return to normal.

But after the conversation and bet with Suoke, even after accepting the bet, Zhong Ming realized one thing, that is, he is not omnipotent, and the expansion of human desires cannot be controlled by himself forever.

One day, the descendants of these believers who are worshiping them now, out of desire and pursuit of freedom, will smash their own temples, destroy their own idols, cut off their own beliefs, knock down those who are high in the clouds, and treat themselves Raise the flag of rebellion.

It's just the length of time.

By then, perhaps after a long time, there will be enough devout believers in my own kingdom of God, and I will also use my divine power to destroy these traitors like the gods did back then.

Or at that time, I was already strong enough to not need faith, and would kill the leading rebel first, and then said disdainfully in front of all the former believers: "Why should I cherish your faith? If there is no me, they will Is this possible today?" Then he left these people behind without looking back and went to explore the endless mysteries of the universe.

Now, in order to ease the arrival of this "Minsky moment", Zhong Ming decided to build this free belief platform, on the one hand, to leave a way for the weak gods to survive, so as to save themselves from playing fish and fish; on the other hand, it is also to take advantage of the power of these gods , better meet the needs of believers, share the dissatisfaction of believers, and delay the demise of Yashai.

How can there be anything eternal?

Zhong Ming never thought that the Kingdom of Yashai created by himself would last forever and be immortal.Just make the most of everything before it dies.

This PPT is enough to kill most of their sense of resistance. After all, there is still hope, who wants to die together.

Anyway, due to ordinary people's desire for wealth, and the real power of the territory is controlled by the Asshai Kingdom, and the free belief platform is still controlled by him. At that time, these weak gods will not only cling to themselves, but also pray for more Flow...faith, what else can be done?
It's nothing more than temporarily giving up a small part of your faith. When the cake becomes bigger, won't he who is sharing the cake benefit the most?
What's more, these little gods may hang on the battlefield of the abyss one day, and the shareholders are gone, so the shares will still return to their own hands?
Powerful gods may look down on this plan, but weak gods may have been a tiny hope.

……

"Father, I don't want to go to the red house, I don't want to go!" A young girl fought hard under the pull of the soldiers.

"My lord, my lord, let us go, haven't we paid that kind of tax?" A dark-skinned old farmer begged on his knees, pulling a soldier's trouser leg with one hand.

"Go to hell!" The soldier was furious, kicked him, raised his gun and fired it into the air, scaring the whole family living in the dirty longhouse to scream.

"The lord said, yesterday it was a confiscation of stolen food distributed by foreign forces! It was not a payment of taxes. Just listen to me!"

"Now that your family can't pay the cannon tax of the Church of the Sea God, it is reasonable and legal for us to take your daughter away as a mortgage, you old bastard, don't be ashamed!

If you tremble again, I will treat you as a tax resister and kill you, sleep with your daughter, steal your wife, and sell your son to work as a miner! "

The soldier grinned grinningly while pointing his gun at the crying little boy.

The screaming mother immediately rushed to her emaciated son, knelt down and begged.

boom!
A shot went off.

The bullet grazed the mother's hair and hit the dirt wall, and a pothole appeared instantly.

The family was stunned and suddenly became quiet.

"Haha," Da Bing laughed wantonly, "Are you scared to pee? Hey, you should be glad you obediently surrendered your guns, otherwise, this gun will hit you in the head!"

"This Yasha's gun is really easy to use, much better than our previous trash!" The soldier sighed while touching the gun body, "I didn't expect that our group of half-baked knights and servants could also touch this enchanted weapon , I really don’t know what those idiots in Yasha think? Isn’t this sending us equipment?”

"Maybe Yasha wants to send weapons to these people to destroy us. Then why didn't there have been serf uprisings in Vized, and now it's Yashawu province." Another soldier who grabbed the girl said .

"Raof, don't be ridiculous, don't these untouchables who can only kneel on the ground and cry and scream dare to resist us?"

"That's right, let's go, go back quickly, and hand in the job early, otherwise it will be bad if it's late. The peasant woman caught yesterday is very popular!"

"Okay, okay, come back now, come back now!" As he said this, the soldier put the muzzle of his gun against the back of the girl's neck. The still warm gun muzzle made her shiver. "Go by yourself. Don't let us brothers do anything." , otherwise, hey, your family..."

As if her soul had been taken out of her, the girl was pushed and pushed all the way, her resisting hands drooped feebly, allowing the two soldiers to take advantage of her.

When she came to the intersection, she numbly turned her head to look at her dilapidated home, and her godless eyes met the figure of her father.

Then he quickly turned back and walked towards the castle in the center of the town step by step... This kind of thing happened again and again in the Kingdom of Winkrel.

This year, there was a big problem in the trade between the Kingdom of Asia and the Kingdom of Winkrel. Businessmen in Asia suddenly significantly increased the export price of grain, significantly reduced the volume of grain exports, and lowered the purchase price of cotton.

In the past, food was worthless, and the huge amount of high-quality food brought in by Yasha had completely damaged the local agriculture of the Winkrell Kingdom. The food that the farmers had planted for the previous year was not enough to pay the newly added taxes.

On the contrary, it is more profitable to grow cotton purchased by Yaxia merchants at high prices and pay taxes.

It's not that the newly appointed Pope Heller of the Sea God Church has never thought about getting rid of Asshai's food dependence, but Winkrell, who ceded land and paid compensation to start a business, is already weak, especially when the wealth of the great nobles in the country was swept away by some unscrupulous people. In the Mori Kingdom, the small and medium-sized nobles were wiped out by Yasha, leaving him only hungry people and crying nobles.

One poor and two white.

There is no industrial capability.

When he ascended the throne, he couldn't even take out a decent mount with the blood of a monster.

In desperation, he could only choose to continue planting cash crops to quickly restore blood.

After all, the price offered by the Yaxia merchant is really attractive. The price of a catty of cotton is twenty times, twenty times that of a catty of grain!
"Even if I don't allow it, these poor and crazy nobles and priests will do the same. It's better to sell people's favors along the way. The worst is to store more food and gradually increase the amount of cultivated land in the future." Heller comforted himself.

As a result, the agriculture of the Winklell Kingdom is like this "tomorrow and tomorrow", with more and more cash crops planted, and less and less farmland.

Every time Heller proposes to increase food planting, he will be blocked by all vested interests, including his own few confidants who have been cultivated by himself, but they are also silent.

He seriously doubts that if they forcefully promote grain planting, they will use the excuse of signing the "Chang'an Contract" to betray the country and seek glory, and play "Why did your majesty rebel"!

Heller's family also migrated to the Kingdom of Anason, where they lived well. Only a few people heard that Heller became Pope and returned to Winkrell to join him.

Some of Heller's confidantes have been fighting openly and secretly with the major noble families remaining in the country over the years.

Because of the unequal treaty signed, Heller couldn't be tough on them.Both sides are vying for each other, opposing for the sake of opposing, fighting for the sake of fighting, holding each other back.

And the Kingdom of Yashai grew stronger year by year, with territory, population, weapons, trade...

Seeing that the enemy was getting stronger and stronger, not only was he unable to fully control the situation, but he was also required to pay large sums of war reparations every year. Heller saw that there was little hope for revenge, and he was very impatient.

Later, he didn't even think about whether to grow food or not. He made money first, bought weapons and food, and formed a new army to consolidate his rule.

Under Heller's idea of ​​revenge, the entire Winkrel quickly slipped towards the wartime economy. In order to support the new army, farmers and businessmen were severely exploited, and even many small nobles suffered unspeakably.

This year, under the banner of "threats from the war between the two empires of the Central Mainland", the merchants of Yaxia, the sudden change in commodity prices dealt a heavy blow to the already fragile domestic economy of Winkrell.

Farmers couldn't afford the soaring price of grain, a large number of cotton merchants were throwing cotton in their hands, and nobles were worried about cash crops that could not be sold at a high price.

But Heller seems to have seen a good opportunity to avenge Yashai, a good opportunity to avenge his shame!

The two empires are attacking Yashai. If he takes advantage of Yashai's troops in the south... wouldn't it be the best opportunity to avenge his shame and take advantage of your illness to kill you?
Heller gritted his teeth and announced that taxes would be raised. Yes, the year was not good. Not only would they not open warehouses to release food for relief, but they would also levy additional taxes, stockpile military supplies, and prepare for war.

Tax hikes, no matter how indiscriminate they are, will inevitably be transferred to the bottom layer in the end.

The big nobles suppress the small nobles, the small nobles suppress the common people, and the common people bear the responsibility.

The aristocrats suppressed the merchants, and the merchants raised the price of their commodities, which the common people paid for.

In order to regain their strength, the nobles were greedy and amassed money. The common people of Winkrel had been having a hard time in recent years. They were hungry and full and worked long hours.

The benefits of industrialization were taken by the nobles, leaving the common people with nothing but toil from morning till night.

For this, the civilians have to be grateful to Sea God, to the church, to the lord, to them for not letting themselves be eaten by dark creatures, and to them for giving them a mouthful of food that is not enough!

As for the civilians who had to die suddenly from exhaustion in order to support their families, what did it matter to them? Wasn't it because they didn't work hard enough?
The Kingdom of Winkrel can be described as political corruption, social turmoil, economic difficulties, and frequent internal fighting!

A scene at the end of the dynasty.

At this time, suddenly in some villages and towns, after one night, there were inexplicably more guns and a little food in front of every house.

There is not enough food, and the family can barely drink some porridge, but the gun is a good gun that is worth the money.

With guns in their hands, these people still did not dare to resist, and most of them obediently handed over their guns.

The farmer of this family even handed in the grain that suddenly appeared at the door to offset taxes, but unfortunately, his daughter was still taken away.

Before the war, in order to boost morale, sometimes we would make some...

Thinking of his daughter's numb and expectant eyes when he was about to leave, the farmer fell to his knees, beating the ground with his right fist, tears streaming down his face.

"Why? Why? I am already very obedient, I have already handed over everything I have, why!!!"

It was night, and guns and food appeared again at the door of every house in this small town.

boom!
It is unknown who pulled the trigger. (end of this chapter)
