Chapter 80 The Priest Visited Again
The king received Aurora's taxes this year, and turned his attention to the taxes of other nobles. Because of the extended winter disaster, only a few thousand people paid tens of thousands of taxes in previous years.

However, Beichen, who paid dozens of gold companies two years ago, unexpectedly paid over [-] yuan this year.

The king knew how to read accounts, but he didn't know if there were any loopholes in Aurora's accounts, after all, they were too perfect.

He invited his trusted Chancellor of the Exchequer to see it.

Read the account books that Beichen submitted over the past few years, and compare them with those of other nobles.

The other nobles are full of mistakes and omissions, and it looks like I just don't want to pay more.

And the account that Aurora sent was impeccable, the kind of perfection that couldn't be done even if he took advantage of legal loopholes to mess with her.

Both the king and the finance minister are good people, but sometimes they are confused, and they think that Beichen is loyal.

They didn't think that it was Aurora who deliberately made the accounts so good in order to prevent people from being caught financially in the future.

The king looked at Beichen's increasing tax revenue year by year, and thought of the thriving shops in the imperial capital.Although Miguel disobeyed him in the council, he was not really on the opposite side of him, he was happy.

But what the king should want to do, he will never change his mind just because Bei Chen is loyal.

I heard that Miguel held his wife's wedding formally not long ago, and now Aurora is also pregnant.

As a father-to-be, Miguel will most likely not come to the capital for a long time.

……

On Beichen's side, winter was approaching again, and Father Alza came to visit with his apprentice.

Arza will be amazed and pleasantly surprised by Beichen's changes this time.The purpose of his coming to Beichen was to blow the tortoise silk cloth, and it was said that Beichen would auction off one piece every once in a while.

People in the church believed that the tortoise came from the blessing of the God of Light, so the cocoons had the attribute of light. Arza came here to discuss that all the tortoise's fabrics should be handed over to the church.

But he also knew that the Taylors couldn't give it for free, so missionary brainwashing was necessary.

The priest is here, Aurora, meeting with Father Alza with her belly upright, Miguel is beside her, it is similar to the previous meeting, except that Alza is not surrounded by a retired priest, but an apprentice of Alza.

Alza's apprentice had despised Beichen as a poor place before, but after attending Aurora's wedding, he no longer had such thoughts.

But he somehow disliked Aurora.

Father Arza faced Aurora with a friendly smile.

"Earl Taylor, Countess Taylor, good day." Arza performed a courtesy that is exclusive to the God of Light.

According to the tradition, Aurora and Miguel should return the same church etiquette, but Aurora only returned the half salute of a nobleman, and Miguel did the same.

It was a far cry from the first meeting.

Father Arza was helpless, he hadn't seen him for three years, Aurora's eyes were the same as when they first met, just as gentle and alienated.

He admitted that he was mistaken, and all changes in the territory were linked to Aurora.

This time Arza's apprentice finally introduced the name, Daisy.

Daisy frowned.

They are respected everywhere, why the two lords of Beichen don't want to see them.The master still looked okay, if it was him, he would have left immediately, how could he be so useless.

But no matter how much he hated the Taylors, he couldn't show it.

Both parties sit down.

Aurora straightened her meticulous sleeves, and said nothing, the atmosphere was dull.

In order to achieve his goal, Arza started his chattering.

In the past three years, Aurora's common sense knowledge has increased a lot.

I used to listen to Alza talk and thought he was knowledgeable, but listening to him now, it’s a bit superficial, more like showing off.It's not at the same level as Miguel.

Before Miguel answered the priest with ease, it was completely intentional to keep a low profile.

Aurora yawned, and Miguel rubbed her hand, "Are you sleepy? I'm here, you can go to sleep."

Miguel's act of pampering his wife like no one else made the two outsiders a little embarrassed.

Daisy vaguely understood why he hated Aurora, the house and the house, and he didn't even like Miguel.

The two are too personal, commonly known as out of gregarious, in stark contrast to other nobles.

"No, if you sleep during the day and stay active at night, the rest time in your stomach will be messed up." Aurora said to Father Alza with a smile, "I don't know why the priest came to Beichen this time?"

Father Arza nodded, "There are indeed some things. Is there a church missing in your territory? The church means that it wants to send priests to preach, so that the people in the territory can have good hope and faith."

Aurora stared directly at Alza with her blue eyes, and firmly refused: "Beichen will not have a temple, nor will it build a church."

Arza wanted to ask why, but Aurora directly pushed the reason to what happened in the imperial capital Taylor Manor.

"I don't like your church's way of doing things. If one day your church says that I am evil and that I am hostile to your church, I would rather kill one thousand people than let one go. I can't argue with it."

The blunt and disgusting tone made Father Arza deeply realize that some time ago, someone might have offended Aurora for his tough behavior.

The older Arza was calm.

Dais is different. Anyone who disobeys the priest is disrespecting God.

He stood up excitedly, "The oracle given by our oracle is not wrong. Witches are the source of the plague. You Beichen is far away from the source of the plague. I don't know how many people died and how miserable the victims were. Those People infected with the plague, no one can cure them, but they recovered when they arrived at our main church. Her Royal Highness was in a coma for several days, and she was also cured by the gift of our God. Only our Guangming Church has miracles, and we are the only ones favored by God. Church Never wrong the innocent."

Facing the sincere accusation, Aurora laughed out loud and shed tears.

Daisy froze, "What are you laughing at?"

"Is your pope lying to you bishops? I can't blame the Church of the God of Light for becoming more and more arrogant. You really think that there are angels descending from the earth." Aurora just spent 30 likes to exchange information with the system.

Not only Aurora was shocked, but the system also felt that the world was in danger, with planes running wild and creatures invading. It took some effort for the system to break through the church's anti-peeping magic and find out the information of the envoy.

"Do you call the octopus monster under your main church an angel? Do you know what it is that you are feeding? Under the guise of witches spreading the plague, capture innocent women back to the church, feed that monster, and then your pope will get The power to cure the plague."

"Your pope's healing ability is only effective in the main church. Once outside the main church, people can still be infected with the plague again. You don't even know what caused the plague. Your church should spend more energy on promoting the teachings. Some teachings are quite good. Okay. Stop doing the baiting. I might not be tempted to tear you down."

Aurora smiled slightly, but the smile couldn't reach her eyes.

"You're talking nonsense." Daisy yelled, "They all stood in front of the statue of light and prayed for recovery. How dare you blaspheme the god."

Dais looked at Father Arza, wanting to say something to Alza.

Alza said in a calm voice, "Your Excellency, please speak carefully."

How did she know that the envoy is under the head teacher, the power of the oracle is very strong, and it will be alert whenever a stranger enters the [-]-meter range of the head teacher.

Father Alza knew that this topic could not be allowed to continue. The source of the plague, the Pope only said it came from witches. As for how the witches did it, the people below did not know.

And Aurora seems to have more theoretical basis. If the two are really pursued, the church will definitely suffer.Arza is a loyal believer of the God of Light, so he chose to avoid the important and light, "Earl Taylor, it seems that Madam is not in a good mood. Let's talk another day. I guarantee that we, the Church of Light, came here with great goodwill."

"No, what Aurora means is what I mean. Beichen doesn't allow any church to step in. I hope you don't carry out church activities quietly." Miguel also put his words to death.

The determined attitude made Dais jump his feet in anger.

Arza pressed the exploding Daisy.

It seems that the previous witch incident offended people a lot. Father Arza didn't know the ins and outs, so he needed to go back and check.

Arza had no choice but to retreat temporarily politely, took Dais away, and rented a house outside the manor.

The next day, Beichen issued an announcement, which stated that the territory of Beichen did not prevent some people from praying for belief in God, but all publicity and gatherings were prohibited.The implication is that you only need to believe what you believe, don't promote it, and don't try to draw others to join you.

There is a sentence at the bottom of the announcement.

Read more books, less superstition, all beliefs that require payment are not good things, they are frauds. —Aurora Taylor
Residents and outsiders: "..."

The lords of some territories are loyal believers of the Church of Light. In order to obtain the church's key protection, they pay tithes every year.

Ordinary believers will also give offerings every time they pray.

So everyone understands why Beichen doesn’t have a church. In Aurora’s eyes, the church is not a good thing.

Dais was very angry when he saw the announcement. Anyone who was told that his belief was not a good thing would be like him, wishing to crush the other party to death.

But it's useless to be so angry that his liver hurts. If he dares to tear up the announcement in the morning, he will be thrown out of Beichen at noon.

Earl Taylor and his wife made it clear that they did not welcome the church, not for the Temple of Light, but for all churches.

Father Alza thought that with the current power of the church, Aurora would give them some face and let them preach without talking about flattery, but it turned out that it was difficult to even establish faith in Beichen, not to mention brushing turtle silk cloth.

They have not preached for many years, and many of the farmers do not believe in religion. The content of the prayer before the meal is that Aurora, the God of Wealth, will make a fortune and then give them more work.

Arza laughed angrily when he heard it, he was more successful than their church brainwashing, no wonder he had to stop people from having faith, so let's all believe in her.

Since Aurora was pregnant, she had a very violent temper, but for the sake of the baby's health, she restrained herself and thought about happy things.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. She is gentle and gentle with her family members, and she can scold them bloody if they make her unhappy.

A few days later, people from outside came to report that a foreign businessman, a loyal believer of the Temple of Light, tore up the announcement issued by Aurora in order to avenge the temple.

After waking up early in the morning, the anger had not dissipated. Upon hearing the news, Aurora took a carriage to the door of the rented house of the foreign businessman.

The knight went to catch him, but the foreign businessman was still in a daze.

Aurora rolled up her sleeves and said, "You are the one who tore up our Beichen announcement?"

The foreign businessman generously admitted, "Yes, what happened to me, you are blaspheming, I tore it up, because I don't want Beichen to suffer retribution in the future."

"Retribution? I will repay your grandfather. If you want to be a dog, you can be a dog. Don't represent Beichen." Aurora scolded: "Are you really wronged by the church you believe in? The bishop's apprentice barked twice in front of you." In other words, you can’t wait to help out? I understand, you must feel that as long as you dare to take the lead, someone will follow behind, and when there are more people protesting us, they will cause trouble and suppress it. Then you insist on standing as your bishop Over there, your bishop didn't want bloodshed to happen, and stood up to be a good person. In the end, the incident was resolved peacefully. At that time, we should not only be grateful to him, but also give them money to build churches, so that everyone in the territory can believe that your faith is It is a good faith, your gods give you strength in the dark, and you can defeat anyone."

The foreign businessman blushed and dodged his eyes when he heard this. He really had such an idea.It is not the first time that the United Church of Believers has done this. The other territories are going well. Why is the wife of the lord not playing her cards according to common sense?

Aurora crossed her hips, "I'm not clear-headed to allow the church to settle in. Isn't it good that Miguel and I rule Beichen? The territory I have tried my best to bring up has been developed. My people Now that I have a little money, I can buy food for my children and clothes for my family. Why should the church meddle in and take a share of the pie? Your church will not only cheat them out of their money, but also fatten you up. What good is it for them. Doctors say they don’t cost money, but do you dare to say that you don’t sell medicines at high prices? Prayer requires dedication, and if there is less dedication, believers are said to be insincere. You can’t relax on holidays, and you have to suppress desires. Zhou, do you think I'm stupid, or are all the citizens stupid?"

The mind was completely exposed, and the foreign businessman wanted to find something to say, but he was not Aurora's opponent at all.

"You." Aurora pointed at the foreign businessman, "Two of my wives died, and the church will help you claim that your wives were possessed by demons, and the bruises on your body were caused by demons. In fact, you beat them, and killed two of them." Ren’s wife is not counted, and he took two children from the church back to continue fighting. Hell is empty, and demons are in the world. The church is your accomplice, what a good bird it is.”

The foreign businessman looked dumb, how did she know, how dare she speak in public.

He looked upstairs, only to find the windows closed.

Then, Aurora glanced at the people around her with sharp eyes, and said seriously: "It's best for you to live in peace and order. Those who do business should do business, eat and shop. Don't let your mind wander in Beichen. , everything about you, I have watched, I know. It is best not to misunderstand my kindness as an excuse for you to act recklessly. Your interests have been violated by the people, and I will punish them severely, but my people have been hurt , and I will maintain it without hesitation."
