Heroes of Silver Moon Chapter 368

In the quiet monastery, Simon sat cross-legged on a square cloth cushion, racking his brains.

To help the church make money, what channels does the church have to make money?

Let believers collect donations? Selling holy water? Holy water baptism? The church has been doing these things all the time!

Oh, no, holy water baptism, which is paid for, is a unique industry unique to the church in the southern border.

Besides, what else can the church do to make money?

No, why does the church need so much money? Feeding corrupt elements?

Suddenly returning to his senses, Simon's eyes became sharper in an instant.

As the holy son of the church and the next boss of the church, he cannot just sit back and watch the church become corrupt like this!

So Simon shouted: "Hey, the church's corruption needs to be rectified."

The corner of Pope Moonlight's mouth twitched, what is this kid going on?

Sighing lightly, Pope Moonlight slowly explained.

The church now has two sources of income. One is the various properties of the church, such as allowing believers to collect donations during holidays, selling holy water, pastors collecting money for busy people to treat diseases, and so on.

The annual income of these industries is about 150,000 gold coins.

On the other hand, it is the annual donation from the royal family to the church, which is fixed at 200,000 gold coins.

Adding these two parts together, the church can have an annual income of 350,000 gold coins.

Although it looks like a lot, Moonlight Church also spends a lot of money every year. The churches scattered all over the kingdom need to be taken care of, priests and priests need monthly money, and celebrations need money.

In order to prevent heretics, monsters, and necromancers from raging in the Silvermoon Kingdom, the Moonlight Church's Trial Office and the Demon Hunting Squad must run around to eradicate these evils.

Several monasteries of the Moonlight Church have also adopted nearly ten thousand orphans, which is also a considerable expense.

It is also corrupt, and the church's finances do not run into deficit every year, which is already very good.

Simon was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. Is the church already so poor?

Rubbing his head with his hands, Simon fell into deep thinking. The church had helped him so much before, and now that the church is in trouble, he naturally has to find a way to solve it!

Thinking about it, Simon thought of some churches on Blue Star, how they made money in the Middle Ages.

Recalling the history he had learned, Simon's eyes lit up first, then he hesitated to speak, and finally fell into deep thinking.

Ma De, if the Moonlight Church sells the Atonement Roll, will the Moonlight Goddess directly send down divine punishment and hack him to death!

Or, try it?

Maybe Her Majesty the Moonlight Goddess would not care about such trivial matters at all.

His mind became active, and then Simon told Pope Moonlight in detail about the idea of the Atonement Scroll.

After hearing this, Pope Moonlight's eyes shone brightly: "Wonderful! It really is a good way to make money!"

Listen to Simon and Pope Moonlight discussing how to issue the Atonement Scrolls, how much each Atonement Scroll should cost, and what should be printed on the Atonement Scroll.

Behind Simon, the vision invisible to mortals, the phantom of the goddess of moonlight, the color on her face is getting uglier and uglier.

If these two people are allowed to go on like this, everyone in the Moonlight Church will have to shout and beat them!

If the reputation of the Moonlight Church is rotten, where can she go to collect the power of faith!

Simon and Pope Moonlight were discussing in high spirits, when suddenly divine power descended, and under the suffocating coercion, the two froze in place.

No way! They were just discussing how to earn money to support the Moonlight Church, why would the Moonlight Goddess pay attention to this place!

"If you two want to die, I can hang you on the Wall of Sighs right now"

A female voice full of anger rang directly in the minds of Simon and the Pope, shaking their heads in fright.

The Wall of Sighs, located in the Divine Kingdom of the God of Life and Death, is an execution ground specially used to punish blasphemers. Once the soul is hung on it, it will be endless pain and torture.

The divine power dissipated, and the two people in the monastic room hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

It's too scary, how could the goddess of moonlight pay attention to this place!

After a long silence, Pope Moonlight said weakly: "The Atonement Scroll is useless, think about it and see if there is any other way."

Simon fell into thinking again. It is really troublesome for such a religious organization to earn more money!

Thinking of helping the church earn money, Simon gradually thought of the paper-making workshop.

Thinking of the paper-making workshop, typography, and the teachings printed for the Moonlight Church for free, Simon seemed to think of something again.

Well, what was the purpose of printing the teachings of the Moonlight Church for free?

Well, it is for the Moonlight Church to help the royal family bear the difficulties that may be caused by cheap books.

Cheap books, cheap books have already been contracted by the royal family, it must be too late for the church to intervene.

But after the cheap books are released, the church may be able to prepare in advance for the additional industry brought about by the release of cheap books, and earn part of the gold coins when the cheap books are released.

The role of cheap books is to expose more people to enlightenment knowledge, but without anyone teaching it, it may be difficult for these people to quickly learn this knowledge. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Perhaps, while the Royal Chamber of Commerce sells cheap books, the church can start some cheap tutoring classes for literate priests and nuns to teach the contents of these cheap books.

With an idea in mind, Simon told Pope Moonlight his idea.

After listening to Simon's thoughts, Pope Moonlight also fell into deep thought.

The pastors and nuns of the Moonlight Church are naturally literate, but the people who buy cheap books must not have much money themselves.

Can I really make money doing this kind of cram school?

Moreover, although it is said that cheap books are issued, the church has a limited understanding of the specific situation.

He doesn't know how many such cheap books will be distributed, whether they will be distributed only in the capital or throughout the country, whether they will only be distributed in this batch or will be distributed all the time.

Knowing the Pope's concerns, Simon laughed outright. The cheap books were created by him, and no one knows the situation better than him.

According to his discussion with the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the first batch of cheap paper could not be made into cheap books because it had already been ordered by the BRIC Chamber of Commerce of the Holy Empire.

But starting from December, all the 300,000 copies of paper produced by the paper workshop every month will be printed into cheap books, that is, 100,000 copies per month.

A total of 1.2 million cheap books a year, excluding 900,000 books, are sold to the Holy Empire and other human countries.

The remaining 300,000 copies were all kept in the Silver Moon Kingdom for self-sale. Among the 300,000 books, 50,000 copies were printed for the teachings of the Moonlight Church.

The cheap books that the public can really buy are 250,000 books per year.

As for the content of the cheap books, it is tentatively determined to be a encyclopedia of commonly used words and basic arithmetic.
