Chapter 18 Holy Treasury System
"Holy Treasury System? What is that?"
There is a circulation tree near the hunter's cabin, which is the largest circulation tree nearby.
I heard that when the Thousand River Valley was still under the rule of the Norns, this circulation tree was once one of their sacred trees.
Under the circulation tree, there is a large blue-black rock, like a giant snake sticking its head out from the ground, and Horn is standing on top of the black snake's head.
About sixty villagers were sitting cross-legged in front of the big rock, looking up at Horn with confusion in their eyes.
After it was revealed that the magic rabbit was caused by the devil Barnett, before the cheers of the villagers stopped, they heard another unfamiliar word from Horn's mouth.
Since Master Sheng Sunzi returned from Ji Le Mountain, the villagers have always heard many new terms from his mouth.
Master Sheng Sunzi did not say it himself, but most villagers believe that these magical names and systems come from the Paradise Mountain.
Take the sacred ten-household system as an example. Under the original rural order of the empire, the essence was that the knights would talk to the armed peasants if they had anything to do, and then the armed peasants would take over the public records and work on the farm.
Without an organization and no explanation, the results often lead to ineffectiveness in doing things, resulting in various waste and inefficiency, changes in orders day and night, and duplication of management.
Some knight lords don’t even know how many public farmers and armed farmers they have.
Due to their extraordinary power, the power of the lords and nobles was unprecedentedly powerful, their hierarchy was stricter than that of the Middle Ages, and their system was even more backward than that of the Middle Ages.
This is the first time they have seen such a fair and efficient advanced feudal system like the sacred ten-household system.
As for the gatherings of believers that Horn often convenes, they are not an advanced system, but an old tradition of the church, a habit left over from the Ayr Empire.
The early elections of the bishops of the Messianic Church relied on this universal suffrage model, which is the village election method of "I elect so-and-so, and he is the one everyone hopes for."
This time at the gathering of believers, each family still had a representative sitting together, while Horn had his feet on the moss, his hands behind his back, and his face was sullen.
"Master Saint Sunson, what does this holy treasury system mean?" an armed farmer raised his hand and asked unaccustomedly.
This was the rule that Horn had previously set for the chaotic Believers’ Assembly. They had to raise their hands to get permission before speaking. Those who had previously disobeyed the rules were refused to participate in the meeting this time.
Go back and wait for the notification.
"As the saying goes, all things belong to the Holy Father, because all things are created by the Holy Father, so no matter who owns something, does it really belong to him?" Horn waved his hand righteously, "No, he just borrowed it, really It still belongs to the Holy Father, the Holy Tree, and the Holy Lord.”
This is to establish a spiritual foundation based on scriptures and principles. After all, it is an illegal fund-raising, and it must have a noble name.
“In the eyes of the Holy Father, we are all brothers and sisters, a big family. The Holy Father has given all things to all of us. In other words, all things are our property.
Since It’s a big family. Have you ever seen a family’s property separated?”
Many villagers’ eyes lit up.
This was the first time they heard a similar statement, but when they first heard it and thought about it carefully, they immediately felt that it was right. It was absolutely right!
All living beings are equal under the Holy Father. We are all brothers and sisters. Why are knights superior to others?
Since we are a big family, why are you so rich and I so poor? So why are we farmers and Barnett a knight?
It should be the knights taking turns to come to my house next year!
“So, this holy treasury system is everyone’s grain treasury. All personal food is put into the holy treasury. Even I am no exception. The grain I earn every day and the seizures also belong to the holy treasury, instead of taking it myself. For your own use.”
Horn looked down at the crowd in front of him, and waved it suddenly in front of him: "As for the food and money in the holy treasury, everyone will use it together, everything will be equal, everyone will be fed and warm, more work will get more, less work will get less, no matter No need to work, everyone said, "Should you roar?"
"Okay!"
Most of the villagers nodded in agreement, their faces almost unchanged, but almost all of them were armed. Nong was squirming and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
You know, Gongbo farmers and refugees have no food to begin with. Of course, they can just open and close their mouths and say so.
The armed farmers really have food.
An armed farmer raised his hand impatiently, standing in the crowd like a rock rising from the waves.
Busak wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time.
But Horn didn't seem to see it. His eyes were cold and he was still talking to himself: "Now is the time of disaster, lack of food and clothing. If someone still wants to go against the wishes of the Holy Father, If he takes possession of the Holy Father's property, then he must be a devil!" Pointing a finger towards the cloudy sky, Horn raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "This kind of devil should be drowned by water, burned by thunder and struck by thousands of swords. Die with your heart! You will go to hell after death!"
Everyone present was shocked when Master Shengzi said this and sat up straighter.
"Hmm... Hey, you were raising your hands just now. What did you want to say?"
In the cold eyes of dozens of other villagers, the armed farmer who raised his hands looked around and swallowed. A mouthful of water: "I, I, I'm thirsty, I want to pee."
"The attitude of raising your hands is very good, it shows that you have taken the teachings of the Holy Father into your heart, but such a small thing, and you Just say it to the head of the ten households." Horn smiled gently, "Since everyone has no objections, let's do it. Tomorrow morning, everyone will put all the food at the door of the hut, and if anyone hides it, they will report it to the devil. ...Busak, what do you want to say?”
“Master Shengsun.” Putting down his raised hand, Busak stood up and bowed, “For the Holy Treasury system, I very much agree, but each household of the armed farmers only has one or twenty pounds of rations at most, and the total is only about a hundred pounds. Now that the wild animals in the forest are extinct, where will the food come from? "
Looking at the doubtful eyes that all turned to him, Horn smiled and took out the potato root from his pocket and held it up high: "When I was in Mount Bliss, the Holy Father told me how to feed The way to feed His lambs, therein lies the way to salvation.”
"Potato roots?"
"Eating more than two bites of that stuff will kill you. I only eat one and a half bites when I'm extremely hungry. I'll have diarrhea all night long?"
"Master Holy Sun Sun, the human world is different from the Paradise Mountain. You can't eat potato roots."
Looking at the cassava in Horn's hand, everyone tried to dissuade him, but Horn smiled slightly: "This potato root comes from the ground." It grew out because it was cursed by the devil, so it was poisonous, and the Holy Father has passed down the method of detoxification.”
If you guessed correctly, it will be based on the performance of the man who ate potato roots and died. Look, the toxicity inside the potato root is very similar to the cassava in his hometown.
Then the method of detoxifying cassava can also be applied to potato roots.
If the detoxification method was chemical, Horn would still hesitate, considering the different microscopic internal structures of the world.
But since the poison is removed physically, this world is no different from his hometown on a macro level, so maybe it can be used.
“You can peel off the inner skin of the potato root and cut it into pieces, put it in a wooden basket, soak it in running water for a whole day, and use the holy water to wash away the poison from hell. When eating, You need to change the pot with cold water and cook it twice."
Horn introduced it confidently to the people present.
"There are quite a lot of these potato roots and they are everywhere. If they can be used as a staple food, they will definitely be enough for us to eat."
Furthermore, Horn has checked and found that the starch content of this kind of potato root is quite high. There is absolutely no problem in using it as a staple food.
"Hail, Holy Father and Lord!"
"Hail, Holy Grandson, Master!"
Under the leadership of Jeshka, most of the people present cheered again Call out.
As for the armed farmers, they whispered in pain and fear.
Rearranged the affairs of these villagers and asked them to try their best to collect enough potato roots before dinner. Horn also called Jeshka and asked him to pay close attention to the movements of the armed farmers and report at any time.
After everything was arranged one by one, Horn had time to walk to the hut.
Every day, one thing comes after another, when can we rest?
Stepping into the cabin, Horn saw Jeanne standing in front of the window, doing something with a top-like thing in her hand.
I saw her first wrapping a bunch of rabbit hair around the twisting pole, twisting it tightly and then turning it upside down. Then she put her hands together like twisting a bamboo dragonfly when she was a child, rubbed it hard on the long pole, and then pulled it from below, and a long spinning The thread was pulled out.
“Sneeze!” Maybe there was too much dust and rabbit hair, so Horn sneezed. He rubbed his itchy nose and walked to Jeanne.
“Are you spinning rabbit hair?” Horn stepped forward and picked up a rabbit hair thread. “There are two pieces of cloth in Barnett’s box. Use this to spin yarn. What are you doing?”
A mysterious smile appeared on Jeanna’s face.
She picked up the wool from Horn's hand, and a flash of lightning jumped from her fingertips to the wool.
A golden light suddenly lit up, causing Horn to squint his eyes, but then his eyes suddenly opened wide.
"What's going on?"
