Reborn as Hokage, I am actually a god

Chapter 26 Accumulation (page 12)



After listening to the reports from the following priests, Leah said calmly:

"Everyone's development is very good, but we can't relax. According to the Holy Light's reminder, the war between various countries will end in about two years! When the war ends, maybe we will fight with the daimyo of the Land of Rain and the Rain Ninja Village. Time for all-out conflict!

Therefore, we must vigorously develop people's livelihood, intelligence and enhance our strength next! "

"Bishop Leah, to increase combat power, shouldn't we strengthen our soldiers! Why should we develop people's livelihood and intelligence?" the young cleric asked doubtfully.

Leah glanced at the young cleric and did not criticize him, but nodded to him and said, "You can ask this question, which means you haven't understood where our combat power comes from!

The reason why we need to develop people's livelihood is because our clergymen all come from the people. Only when people's livelihood is developed can the people trust us more and feel that the concept of Holy Light is not empty words or deceiving them. Only then can you feel the goodness of the Holy Light! Only then can more people invest in the great cause of Holy Light! "

After Leah finished speaking, the young cleric suddenly seemed to understand something! He lowered his head in shame, "Thank you Bishop Leah for clarifying my doubts!"

Leah smiled faintly, nodded, motioned for him to sit down, and continued:

"In the past, because we were busy developing ourselves, we rarely paid attention to the layout of intelligence. Apart from the news brought back to us by various caravans, there was no other way of intelligence. This made us very passive and lacked understanding of the entire world. So I am planning to establish a department dedicated to operating intelligence. Do you have any opinions?"

"Bishop Leah, this is a good suggestion, but it's a pity that we don't seem to have the talent in this field!" Mina said with a frown.

"There is someone who is suitable for doing this!" Mei Li said leisurely.

"Oh, Pastor Meili, who is it?" Mina looked at Meili in surprise.

Meili smiled slightly and said, "That's the Leili businessman from Huayu Town!"

"Businessman Rayleigh, is he a priest? Information is very important!" Leah asked in surprise.

"Bishop Leah, you may not know that some time ago, the great businessman Rayleigh has believed in the Holy Light and changed his profession to become a priest, but his level is still very low, maybe he is only level 5 or 6 now!" Meili replied .

"It seems that the great merchant Rayleigh has become our partner!" Leah sighed. Originally, she thought that it was impossible for a profit-oriented businessman to believe in the Holy Light, an existence that favors the good camp. Unexpectedly, it was in her heart that Prejudice exists!

"Okay then! Since Merchant Rayleigh has changed his profession to become a priest, he is trustworthy. Let him handle this matter. I hope that all professional leaders will give enough help! Is there anything else you can do? Any opinions?" Leah asked calmly.

The priests present all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that there was no objection, Leah continued, "As for people's livelihood, it will be our main development route in the near future. The places we occupy now, especially Corona City and the villages and towns below it! At least every Every town in the village must have a school, a medical priest, and the construction of water conservancy roads must be accelerated! It must be connected to Corona City and Huayu Town as soon as possible!”

"But this way, we won't have enough manpower!" Tieshan said with a frown.

"I know there may be a shortage of manpower, so for the third-level temple, let's slow down for the time being!"

"Is this good! If the third-level church can be completed quickly, our professionals will surely experience explosive growth again!" Tieshan said not sure.

"There's nothing wrong with it. We still have at least two years to prepare. And here, we can't just ask the people to follow us and spend a lot of time building the church, completely ignoring their lives. In this way, we will be different from those nobles. What’s the difference!”

"Yes, Bishop Leah is right. The people in the city are living without delay. Maybe you haven't been here for long and haven't noticed that most of the people in the city have actually reached the warning line where they can't survive. If we hadn't come here, We opened the lord’s mansion to release grain. I don’t know how many people will starve to death, and winter is coming after just one harvest season. We must go all out to resume production, otherwise we will definitely let the people down this winter!” Ah Ping shouted loudly.

After everyone listened to Aping's appeal, they all started talking quietly.

"That's right, what Captain Aping said is definitely not alarmist. My colleagues who work in the office should all know how many street children we have taken in during this period, and how many of them still have no place to live! This is true in big cities. I don’t know what other villages and towns are like!” Mina said with a trembling tone.

"Yes, this matter must not be delayed any longer!"

"We have to take responsibility. I don't know how those people who have eaten but not eaten will survive this winter."

For a time, the clergymen who also worked in the office also agreed one after another.

Leah frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Since the situation has reached this point, all the priests will immediately go out tomorrow, bring enough supplies to prepare for going to various towns and villages to prepare for relief, and strictly control the food in the city. If there is an emergency, As for the unscrupulous businessmen who raise prices, there is no need to say anything, they should be suppressed immediately, leaving enough personnel to guard, and all other clergy members will participate in the construction!"

"Yes!"

All the clergymen immediately stood up and replied.

The next day, people saw four or five clergymen gathered together, one after another, dragging supplies and starting to rush out of the city.

At first, everyone was a little panicked, thinking that the daimyo was coming, and that the new forces were preparing to abandon them and evacuate the city.

But later, when they heard the large number of recruitment announcements broadcast by the Magic Tower, the panicked people no longer cared about their worries and rushed towards various recruitment offices.

As various priests led people to carry out construction, the city began to fall into a busy state, and everyone was caught up in the construction in a hurry.

Yahiko frowned slightly as he looked at the priests wearing white clothes who were everywhere on the streets recently, directing the people to renovate the roads, or tear down some dilapidated slums.

Nagato and Konan next to them were also full of doubts, "Brother Yahiko, what are they doing? Why are they knocking down people's houses?" Konan gave full play to his spirit of asking questions when he didn't understand, and asked with a curious look on his face. Yahiko.

"I don't know much about it, why don't we find someone to ask!"

After saying that, the three of them walked towards the old man in front.

"Uncle, what are you doing!"

The uncle stopped the hammer in his hand and saw a few children. He replied without thinking, "These are the priests who have arranged to rebuild this slum. Originally, this place was dilapidated, dirty and smelly. There were many No one has any work to do. The new adults saw us as pitiful, so they gathered us together today and asked us to renovate this place and take care of the food!

"But aren't you afraid that after it is demolished, this house will no longer belong to you?" Yahiko continued to ask in confusion.

The uncle quickly waved his hand and said, "This is impossible, you probably don't know yet! We are relatively late here. Two days ago, a large group of homeless people started building houses on the open space in the west of the city. All food and accommodation are provided by the church. Not only did they cover it, they also just started the construction. The real main force in the construction was the soldiers of the temple. Within two days, a row of new houses were built. They were so beautiful, and they were all given to the homeless people in the end! Although you still have to pay, I heard from the refugees that as long as they work in the newly built factory in the church for a few years and pay it back slowly, they can pay it back and still have a balance!"
