crush the rich

Martil's chefs all have some problems with the matching of ingredients and the mastery of the fire, and the use of spices is even more appalling.There are reasons for this, half of which is due to the allocation of social resources, and the other half is probably born to be as bad at inventions in this field as England.

They are worse than England because they are poorer.

But because of this, they are more receptive to foreign food.Some of the more convenient and edible recipes brought by Yin Lian before have basically become popular in Matil, at least among nobles and mages.Although it can't be 100% original, but with various plant spices that the Church of Life is currently promoting, at least it is much more colorful than the previous diet.

Because of this, Yin Lian's reputation spread far and wide.

Now few people call Life Church a wild sect or a cult.

Ordinary people have more or less a steelyard in their hearts, knowing what is beneficial to them, what is harmful, what is good, and what is evil.In some respects, due to the gap between times and cultures, the definitions of good and evil may not be unified—just like how to treat captives, Yin Lian from the modern earth would feel that he wants to protect everyone’s rights as human beings, but Martil's concept is that kindness to an enemy is cruelty to a dead companion.

This kind of thinking is not wrong, but it is not enlightened enough, and the vision is not broad and far-reaching enough.

From the perspective of civilization, captives are also labor force. Rough use will make them a labor force with a short shelf life, while rational use will make them an active, recyclable, and highly dynamic labor force.

Of course, this is Yin Lian's personal conclusion.Her way of thinking is somewhat utilitarian. If it were someone else, it would actually be more emotional, more pleasant, and easier to accept.

But whether it is utilitarian or not, it has the same meaning.

And other behaviors will be recognized no matter which world they are in, and they are considered good deeds.

Such as raising orphans, giving money to the poor, and helping the injured.

Now the Church of Life has established a very complete relief system in both the capital of the sages and the Holy City. Although it is not perfect, it is already a huge charity that Martil has never seen before.And as the number of beneficiaries increases, the influence of Life Church is also growing.

In addition, several major churches have been severely hit and are currently in a weakened state. Under the ebb and flow of each other, the Life Church can almost sit on an equal footing with the other party.

It stands to reason that by doing this, the Life Cult is stealing the results of the war from the Magic Association, but in fact the two sides get along quite well.The relationship between Yin Lian and the black sage is one reason, but not the main reason.Magicians are a group of characters who are more focused on research and destruction. Of course, they still have some interest in power, but they are very limited in things like governing the city and winning people's hearts.

After conquering the Holy City, the Life Cult made an irreplaceable contribution to the world, and many mages might have breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their burden had been relieved.In addition, the teachings of the Life Cult itself were mild, and the priests were also deliberately told to avoid the edge of the mages, which disappointed many other sects who were expecting internal fighting between the two sides.

Are the followers of the Life Cult so gentle and talkative, willing to do chores for the mages?In fact, this group of priests from the bottom has not been able to change their thinking so far, thinking that they are just ordinary civilians, while the mage is an unattainable figure.Most of them will instinctively fear the magicians, saving Yin Lian a lot of time to analyze their interests and explain their development strategies.Yin Lian felt that this kind of thinking was good for their current situation, so she was not in a hurry to break it.Anyway, with the changes in life and social environment, they will always grow up slowly.

On the other hand, they are currently obsessed with making money.

Yin Lian brought a lot of seeds for them to plant, and also taught them to configure and make some animal and plant products.Although Martil is not as rich in species as the earth, most of the common plants still have similar species, but they have not been fully utilized.

Yin Lian asked people to take in orphans and poor people in the name of the church, arranging and organizing their work in exchange for food and shelter.In addition to maintaining the operation, Yin Lian will take part of the money earned, nominally to buy seeds and other resources, but in fact, she doesn't use so much at all, and she uses it to stock up on magic props and materials—this born-born A capitalist product of a socialist society.

The rest is used to build cities.

The current expansion of the capital of sages, the life religion has made great efforts.The black sage can see the benefits of the whole thing to some extent, and specially designated a place for the life religion. According to Yin Lian's instructions, Dale built a temporary residence on it for foreigners and refugees. The rent is very high. It's cheap, and even those who can't afford it can help out with daily work to offset the rent.

As for the original shelters, they were all assigned to the orphanage's territory.Yin Lian asked these children to be taught skills, but at the same time they also had to work.Children between the ages of six and ten need to help pick vegetables in the cafeteria, or pick and soak seeds, and children over the age of ten will start running errands for others, or help with chores.Yin Lian didn't want to exploit them. In fact, this bit of labor is useless, but they must learn to adapt to their status as orphans, and they must not develop a lazy attitude or a mentality of being generous.

The society they live in does not have this condition and does not allow it.So they had better adapt to this environment from the very beginning. Yin Lian could treat them a little better than the local natives, but it must not be so good that they were divorced from reality.

Fortunately, no one in this world is critical of Yin Lian's decisions.The so-called good person does not mean how kind you are, but that you are kinder than most of the same kind in society in the same era background and because of the same social status.Kindness is born out of comparison.

So at this time, the Church of Life has an excellent reputation and a very high reputation.Even if other churches want to attack them, there is no way to turn black and white before such achievements.

But if you want other forces to learn, firstly, they don't have Yin Lian's ability and technology, and secondly, in the eyes of many people, the benefit is not directly proportional to the contribution.With their current political development, they still can't see the true role of Yin Lian's knowledge, technology, and ideas instilled in children since childhood, and it is difficult to understand the deeper meaning of faith beyond enshrining divine power.

Maybe it will take many years for them to learn superficially from social changes, but at that time, the Church of Life has already become the climate, if Yin Lian still can't control the steering wheel of Matil, she will be named Yin Changsheng!

At present, the believers of the Life Church in the Capital of the Sages are definitely the part that has the best knowledge of different world cooking techniques.Yin Lian specially added a new doctrine for this purpose, including cherishing food and being grateful for food.The optimization of the taste of the bread tree has already been scheduled on the earth, but at present, Matil's main diet upgrade still depends on Yin Lian's selection of suitable plant varieties to promote in Matil to optimize the diet structure.

The civilians sheltered by the Church of Life grow grains and vegetables, herbs and spices, collect wild ingredients, and raise various livestock, but it is difficult for them to enjoy the fruits of their labor.Wheat and the like are still too labor-intensive compared to the bread tree, so this kind of food is often exported to various countries, or sold to high-level mages in exchange for money and cheap breadfruit, and the common people rely on these breadfruit to satisfy their hunger .

Sounds very exploitative, right?But in fact, without this kind of exchange, the food grown would not be enough for ordinary people to eat.And compared to before, Yin Lian has upgraded various cooking methods, the same is breadfruit, the cooking and production level of the church is much higher than before.

Breadfruit, if handled properly, can also be turned into bread flour by drying and grinding. After mature cooking techniques, it can play a lot of various tricks, so even if you can’t eat the ingredients you planted yourself, For most farmers, their dietary standards have improved dramatically compared to before.

So many civilians at this time have no awareness of being exploited at all, they are just grateful to the church.

If capital in this world wants to be appreciated while being exploited, it can only rely on technological innovation.In this regard, Yin Lian vaguely understood that the future capital giants of the earth must be scientific research giants.

In fact, there are signs of this now.

But compared to these long-term things, it is obvious that the immediate influence is more real.After the invitations were sent out, Yin Lian didn't prepare for everyone to accept the appointment. As a result, almost all the mages came, and even [-]% to [-]% of the nobles who received the invitations came, which is surprising.

After all, although the banquet held in the city of sages is just an ordinary banquet on the surface, it is hard to prevent any hidden dangers.It’s really because of political considerations, or it’s more lenient... Yin Lian thought this way, but she was still too young after all. The analysis of the truth was limited by her own class and experience, and it was far from the truth. .

The invitation was sent by the Black Sage.When he saw the large stack of invitations, his expression was very pretty, and he finally managed not to secretly burn more than half of them.

With Black Sage's ability, he doesn't even need to use a magic mailbox to send a letter.

With a straight face, he touched an invitation card with his finger, and saw the invitation fly up, the cover page opened like a butterfly, the invitee's name emitted a faint white light, and finally the entire invitation card also turned into white light , disappeared in mid-air.

One letter after another, like glowing butterflies, spread their wings at his fingertips, and they appeared thousands of miles away with the flapping of their wings.

The sudden appearance of the letter really shocked many people at first, but when they realized the source of the letter and the content of the invitation, many people inevitably became interested.

In a distant palace, a princess wandered back and forth in her bedroom, and asked the female officer, "Say, this banquet... shall I go or not?"

The female officer replied: "Although the king's capital has set up a magic circle leading to the city of sages, there are magicians everywhere there who do whatever they want. In my opinion, it's better for the princess not to go there for the sake of safety."

"But...the invitation says that there will be a dinner party and rare ingredients...should it be that person who appeared again?"

"...I don't know when you started to believe in the Goddess of Life."

The princess replied: "I am not ready to believe in the Goddess of Life, but I do have a good impression of her at the moment, and I also want to meet the Goddess Angel. I think their teachings are very interesting."

The female officer asked: "Is the doctrine more interesting, or the food more interesting?"

The princess waved her fan and said, "I hate it! What do you mean!" Then she replied, "It's all very interesting, but the delicious food is overwhelming."

The female officer was speechless, and said: "I just hope you pay attention to the difficulty of wearing your waist, and restrain your desire."

The princess was silent for a long time, and said: "If it's really not possible, let's not tie the waist."

Female officer: "..."
