Chapter 136 (1/2)
Land tax exemption, not to mention that Sean is no worse than military power. He is not prepared to give this privilege to any organization or individual, even himself.
This privilege may bring small profits to a force that wants to develop and expand at the beginning, but in the long run, it will have endless poison, which will give many people channels and opportunities to abuse their power for personal gain. This is a bloody lesson. It is the same in both past and present life and throughout history.
In this era of waste, whether a territory or a country is strong or not depends on how much land you can produce and how much taxes the Lord can get from it.
Even if a lord occupies more than one territory, if the tax collection is general and the Treasury is empty, it is difficult for this territory to prosper.
The eastern and Western Odin empires are the best examples. The two empires have a lot of land. The eastern and Western Odin grasslands are tens of thousands of kilometers in length and thousands of kilometers in the north and south. They are not the same. They were held outside the duanmai mountain by Byron alliance. The main reason is that there are huge differences in tax collection.
One leader of Byron league can produce more than the whole year of the East Odin empire.
Because the Western Odin Empire occupied the territory once occupied by the exiled family Cummings, miracle Peninsula has begun to transform into a semi nomadic and semi farming civilization, producing more, but also relatively limited.
At most, it can be compared with the relatively bad environment of Manyu army leader. As for the most prosperous plain of Asia Minor, it is the most prosperous place in Ashan continent.
If these two privileges are abandoned, the holy see is not totally without positive significance.
At least, his doctrine, like most religions, is to encourage people to be positive for good, not only to do their own charity, but also to persuade those lords and nobles to do charity. Their churches and monasteries, in many territories, even shoulder the functions of orphanages, orphanages, hospitals, and relief homes.
Although this has something to do with the inaction of many lords and nobles, his achievements are indelible. He can develop and grow in the Byron League, and he does not just blow it out with his mouth.
In the Legion of eternal night, Sean would not give the Holy See the opportunity to do these things, not to mention anything else, but to care for orphans. Although the Legion of eternal night dare not say that it is perfect, it has done a good job.
After all, they started with this. Many officers and soldiers of the eternal night army were born in this way, and they had a natural affinity and compassion for those orphans.
The eternal night Corps has set up a special adoption home to collect and educate the children. The learning materials are the same set of Shawn's education for the youth army, which has been basically formed in the exploration of more than ten years.
Compared with the previous loose model, this time it is more organized and scale-up. At a very young age, they began to divide the work according to their conditions.
Those who are strong and healthy rely on soldiers, while those who are physically weak or have congenital disabilities tend to be technical.
The eternal night army should not only nurture them, but also cultivate them into talents, so that the eternal night army has a continuous stream of new blood.
Therefore, these adoption homes are also known as the new youth camp of the eternal night corps, which can not be envied by the children of mountain people with sound parents.
In addition, they also run free schools. Educational materials are the same as adoption homes. Children of school age in the territory are encouraged to take part in the study.
At present, the effect is very good, and it is rarely difficult to persuade students. Even if many half of them are already half of the labor force at home, they also try to get in.
Because the precedent of the eternal night army is set here, the treatment in it is coveted by those mountain people, but they have no ability to join.
Now that their own children have the opportunity to join, how can they sit back and wait for this kind of good thing to fall on others? Although they are not smart, they also have their own smart calculations.
The most important thing Sean valued most about the Holy See was their spiritual comfort for the people. If there was a spiritual pillar in his heart, he would not easily collapse even in the face of great difficulties and setbacks.
Every missionary and pastor is a teacher of natural life. If you have something to do, it's a good choice.
From the political point of view, if it can be recognized by the Holy See, although it does not mean that the Andes mountain people have integrated into the Byron alliance, they will not be heretics at least, and will shorten the distance between the two sides and no longer be as antagonistic as before.
Access to the holy see is not purely a bad thing as long as the locks are set in the first place.
What's more, Darnell is just an independent missionary and does not represent the Holy See. What he wants to spread is not the original doctrine of the Holy See, but a new doctrine after his own thinking and improvement.
In other words, Darnell is going to take the Legion of the night, the empty land of the Holy See, as his experimental field.
Sean didn't pay much attention to this. Darnell's brainwashing ability has already been seen by him. If it is anywhere else, it is absolutely one-on-one. Even if he has never heard of the name of the God of truth, he will believe it.
But in the eternal night corps, that's just average.The deputy of the Yongye army is not for nothing. Their task is to focus on the spirit and ideology of the Yongye army from top to bottom. That is the true sense of collective brainwashing. The brainwashing of loyalty and obedience to military discipline is carried out by various means without teachers. Now it is not only carried out among soldiers, but also one of the objects of spiritual work for mountain people.
As he saw more, his resistance naturally improved. It was not so easy for Darnell to preach here.
Now Sean shows Darnell his chariots and horses directly. Only by following the rules of the game he has made, will he be allowed to enter, otherwise nothing will be said.
If he can't agree with Sean, even if he has no power to threaten his life and death, can't he?
This will directly poke the hornet's nest, and the whole Legion will take him as the enemy of life and death. Although he has not been here for a long time, he has deeply understood the influence of that young man here. Everyone speaks up. General Sean, a young man less than 20 years old, plays such a world with bare hands, even Darnell I don't have to look at you.
When he got Sean's note, Darnell thought for just a few minutes and said to Ralph, the messenger.
”My mission was an attempt. I was not prepared to go the old way. General Sean's conditions seemed harsh, but it was a new way. I could promise it.”
”It's not impossible to be an instructor, but my main energy will be on the church side, so I can't put too much energy into it.”
”This is nature, this is nature, this is nature.” Ralph nodded again and again, with uncontrollable surprise on his face. The last one was added after he discussed with Sean. He didn't have much hope, but Darnell agreed without hesitation.
This is a top player. Even if something leaks from his fingers, it will help them enormously.
”As for the church, don't worry, Mr. Darnell. We have a construction team. You just have to ask for it. If you can provide drawings, it's fine. But if you don't, it doesn't matter. We have masters in this field in the Legion of eternal night.”
In order to have a good relationship with Darnell, Sean could not give in to some principled issues, such as building a church. He opened the door to all kinds of things and did not mention money at all.
It's hard to change the advice of a top player.
