"Your Excellency, we have used this method before, but the results were not ideal." An old and frail Archbishop of Shangjin responded, "Some local lords did not do anything after receiving the road construction loans. Only one tenth of the money was actually used for road construction, which was considered diligent and conscientious.
Often in the end, there are no roads, goods cannot be transported in or out, and the losses cannot be recovered in half a century!"
"This is easy. When you sign the road construction agreement with those local lords, you will entrust the road construction affairs to a third-party road construction company and pay the road construction funds directly to the third party. They will build the road on your behalf. This will ensure that the loan will not be misappropriated and ensure the speed of the project progress."
Gavin's eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind. "Or even better, you provide the money and I provide the manpower to set up a road union affiliated with the Church of Woking to be responsible for the construction of various roads. Your loans will go from your left hand to your right hand, and will not need to pass through the hands of those local lords at all."
"This method is good. It not only ensures the safety of our funds, but also facilitates the expansion of our business and ensures that we are profitable."
"The last thing we need to worry about is idiots like this. If they really dare to do this, we will form an army and destroy them directly. No one will be able to find any fault with us. As long as we kill a few idiots like this, no one will dare to breach the contract!"
Gavin's plan completely inspired the business ideas of these Archbishops of Shangjin, and they discussed it at once.
They expanded further on this basis, thinking of more details and possibilities, including taking into account the behavior of local lords who defaulted on their debts.
But they did not feel too worried about this. On the contrary, there was a hint of expectation in their words.
As the richest church in Faerun, the Church of Waukeen naturally has to maintain a large church army to prevent those villains from coveting its wealth.
There is no shortage of fools in this world, and there are many people who are willing to take risks for wealth, no matter whether that wealth belongs to dragons or gods.
This church army is usually scattered in temples, churches, monasteries or caravans in various places, serving as a guard to protect the treasury or caravans.
Once the Church of Waukeen becomes hostile to a certain force, the church's army will gather and then grow in a snowball manner. By the time they arrive at their destination, their number is often three to ten times that of before departure.
The Church of Woking is not only the richest, but also the best at using money. When it comes to spending money, they are not stingy.
During the march, the church army will recruit mercenaries along the way to fight for them. These mercenaries are not necessarily vagrants, but may be elite troops led by the war priests of the Lord of War themselves.
As long as there is money, even the Lord of War will be tempted. If not, it means the money is not in place, so continue to add money.
There is no shortage of beautiful stories about the Church of Waukeen in the history of Faerun. Before their church army arrived, the enemy forces were conquered by mercenary armies attracted by huge amounts of mercenary money.
There is a saying in Faerûn that you can deny paying the debts of the Church of Waukeen, but you must never deny it openly - before the Church of Waukeen sends troops, it will definitely weigh the pros and cons.
If the person is a debtor, refuses to pay back the money, is very wealthy, or the commercial value of the territory is very high, then it is worth sending troops.
However, if the debtor is extremely poor and has no money to pay back, and his territory is in a very remote area, the military expenditure spent on attacking him may not be earned back in decades or even hundreds of years, then you need to think carefully.
Simply put, as long as you are poor enough, even the Church of Waukeen can do nothing to you.
Of course, such people would not be able to get too much loan from the Woking Church. Their loan review is quite strict, and it is more difficult to bribe those believers than ordinary people.
Nothing is absolute, even faith. It depends on whether the temptation is great enough. The soul has a price, let alone faith.
This profit-seeking nature is both the Church of Waukeen's greatest advantage and their greatest disadvantage.
When it comes to profitable things, Gavin only needs to enlighten them, and they will naturally flock to it, promoting the prosperity and development of this industry or territory, thereby driving the surrounding economy.
They would probably have no interest in unprofitable or even loss-making businesses, especially those industries or projects that benefit the people. Even if they use oracles, the effect would not be very good.
Therefore, Gavin only took advantage of the advantages of the Church of Waukeen from beginning to end, and left the disadvantages to territory rulers like Zalanda. This is where their value lies and also where their level is reflected.
If the shortcomings can be made up, the development of this territory will be long-lasting, prosperous and its future will be limitless.
But if they are like the Church of Woking, only knowing how to make money for themselves and not implementing projects to benefit the people, it won't be long before serious wealth polarization appears.
The rich die of wealth, the poor die of poverty, the ruling class and the lower class are alienated, and the slightest disaster will lead to unrest.
"Since you have no objection, let's decide this matter. You are most familiar with the operation of the business model, so you will be responsible for taking the lead in promoting this matter. Who do you think is the most suitable person to host this matter?" Gavin's eyes swept over the group of Woking believers again.
It's not that he doesn't want to take full control of the matter, but that he lacks the talent in this area.
We can't leave this task to those kobolds, can we?
Those gnolls are indeed good at digging holes and building roads, but dealing with other intelligent creatures is their weakness, which cannot be compensated by dragonization.
Rather, it is determined by their own culture and external racial reputation.
As soon as they see them, intelligent creatures will unconsciously associate them with cruelty and evil.
If we have a biased view from the beginning, many things will be put at a disadvantage and business activities will be difficult to carry out.
After all, business activities are largely based on mutual trust.
Although under Gavin's leadership, the Gnoll Road Construction Team has become somewhat famous and has been recognized within a certain range.
But the number of kobolds following Gavin is ultimately a minority, and the kobolds in the wilderness are still their original natures. Most people have come into contact with this kind of kobolds and have preconceived notions about them.
This disadvantage is the advantage of the Church of Woking. Their church leaders are often guests of honor of local lords, and their finance ministers or tax collectors are Woking believers.
What's more, those local lords themselves also believe in the goddess of wealth Waukeen. They often have multiple identities such as lords, merchants, and believers. This is not contradictory, as the world is inherently diverse.
If we talk about the number of identities, I am afraid no one can compare to Gavin. He is not only the representative of one god, but has close relationships with many gods. The attention and power that those gods have invested in him are unprecedented.
As soon as Gavin finished speaking, a young female voice full of vigor immediately volunteered: "I am willing to take on this task."
Everyone's eyes fell on her involuntarily.
She is one of the youngest among all the archbishops of Shangjin. Her young and beautiful face is full of tenderness and vitality, making people wonder whether she is actually twenty years old.
She was also one of the two women who had followed Archbishop Saronda of the Holy Coin to greet Gavin.
As soon as she opened her mouth, several Archbishops of Shangjin, who were eager to try, involuntarily looked at Archbishop Shengbi and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Even in the church there are human relationships.
The person who was brought along by the Archbishop of Holy Pennies to attend such an important matter as welcoming the return of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, must not be an ordinary person, but must be a close confidant.
It is even possible that the Archbishop of Holy Coin deliberately pushed it to the goddess of wealth Waukeen. After all, the church is not a family clan, and there is no such thing as a hereditary system. Everything is based on the approval of the gods.
However, these church leaders still have advantages that ordinary people do not have. They have resources that ordinary people do not have, including meetings with gods.
But that’s all. Whether or not gods are used ultimately depends on ability and faith. If you want to use secular power to control gods, then you simply want to live longer than you want.
Everything they have comes from the gods, and the gods can take back everything they have been given with just one word.
Hence, God’s power is unfathomable.
"Who is this..." Gavin pretended not to know and gave a scrutinizing look.
He would not judge a person by his appearance, nor would he measure a person by his age as shown by his appearance. This is the most inaccurate thing in the multiverse.
But he will not allow anyone to interfere with his great cause.
Archbishop of the Holy Coin smiled and explained, "Her name is Barasta Serries, she is my granddaughter, and she just turned eighteen this year.
But please rest assured, Mr. Road Builder, the reason she became Archbishop Shangjin was not because of my favoritism or corruption, but because she possessed extraordinary talent for business.
When she was ten years old, she entered the Chamber of Commerce for an internship, learning various business affairs, and when she was fifteen years old, she had established her own Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, she had an indirect connection with His Excellency the Road Builder. More than two years ago, when we old guys were still fighting among the Happy Priests, she had already noticed the huge business opportunities brought by His Excellency the Road Builder's opening up of the Conqueror's Road.
As soon as you set out on your journey, she formed a large caravan and led the team to follow you. Not only did she earn her first pot of gold in this new business route, she also completed her own transformation.
After that, she has been following the footsteps of Lord Road Builder. Whenever you go to the valley, her caravan will go to the valley.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Whenever you went to the Eastern Region, she would organize merchant ships to follow you. Every time she did so, she made a lot of money and became one of the most profitable merchants in our Church of Woking.
Moreover, she had boldly predicted a year ago that Mr. Road Builder's road-building philosophy would affect and change the business landscape of the entire continent of Faerun.
Even at that time, the idea of setting up a road construction team for our church had been proposed, but we did not take it seriously.
This is not me flattering her, but it is well documented and everyone present can prove it."
Archbishop of the Holy Coin did not try to hide the fact but openly acknowledged the blood relationship between the two.
And this is exactly his brilliance. If everything is laid out in the open, it will not only not annoy people, but on the contrary it will give people a sense of identification with human nature.
When introducing Barasta's life experience, the key points were also accurately grasped.
It's not just about her talent for business, but her indirect relationship with Gavin, which will invisibly add a lot of points to her.
This was indeed the case. Gavin, who had been somewhat careless at first, couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young Archbishop Shangjin, and saw the undisguised passion on her face.
This kind of passionate expression had been there from the beginning, but Gavin had always thought that it was for the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, in his body. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that it was not just that. Was this a little fan of his? No, it was a potential believer!
When Gavin focused his mind on the young Archbishop Shangjin, he suddenly had a magical feeling, as if he could directly hear what she was thinking at the moment.
"He looked over here, he really looked over here, wow... he looked so handsome... so handsome, so charming... he was ten times more handsome than in the memory projection... no, a hundred times more handsome. The memory projection simply couldn't fully show his charm. How could a person be so handsome... so charming?
I feel like I’m suffocating… I’m going to faint… No, no, absolutely not… This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…
As long as I can take on this mission, I can follow him honestly in the future... and have countless opportunities to meet him in person...
Please forgive me, Your Majesty, it’s not that I’m not devout in your faith... but the Road Builder is so handsome and charming... that people can’t help but follow his footsteps... Please rest assured, I will donate more money to the church in the future..."
This is not telepathy, but the ability to perceive faith - faith is the prerequisite for this ability. Only when the other party truly has a high degree of faith in Gavin can he listen.
This is the best way for the gods to distinguish their believers. The more devout the other person's faith is, the more comprehensive the content they listen to, until they know everything they know and think.
He didn't expect that the other party was actually one of his believers, but what he heard left Gavin speechless.
This has nothing to do with being a business woman, it's just a young girl in love. Could it be that the reason why she followed in her footsteps was not for business foresight, but for star chasing?
Gavin can be regarded as one of the first memory projection stars in the continent of Faerun. Faerun’s first big movie, The Pioneer, was produced with him as the protagonist and is still a hit in various places. Many people’s understanding of him started from this memory projection.
In a sense, this can also be considered as faith.
But this is somewhat different from what Gavin wants. After all, what he wants is not a little fan girl, but a business genius.
Gavin asked, "If this task is given to you, how do you think you should do it?"
The taste of competition is very obvious. No matter how much Archbishop of the Holy Coin brags, or how obsessed she is with herself, real talent and knowledge are the most important.
He now wanted to see, stripping away her family background and luck, how much was in her belly?
Barasta answered without thinking: "If you give me this task, I will start from two aspects.
On the one hand, continue to deepen the Conqueror's Path.
After more than two years of development, the road's impact on the surrounding areas has been fully realized and has gained sufficient popular support.
If we negotiate with the territories along the way to build a road leading to the Conqueror's Road, I believe that any local ruler who is a little bit wise will agree to the deal.
These branch trade routes will be like the branches of a great river, bringing more business trips and business opportunities to this trade route, further promoting the prosperity here, and those local lords will be nourished by this trade route..."
"What about the other hand?" Gavin couldn't help but straighten himself up, because the angle of the other party's speech was indeed unique.
Regardless of whether the other party is trying to please him or not, it is indeed very feasible to start from the path of conqueror that he is proud of.
After all, the Conqueror's Road was opened up from the wilderness. Apart from the original few main roads, there are indeed few branches along the way, leaving a lot of room for maneuver.
Especially for those local lords who have the will but lack the corresponding ability, it itself has great appeal.
Judging from the reaction of the young Archbishop Shangjin, this was not just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but an idea he had already had in mind.
Perhaps the other party really inherited the business talent of Archbishop of Holy Coin and is a rare business genius in the world.
Gavin's unintentional reaction was undoubtedly the best encouragement for the young Archbishop Shangjin. He became more energetic and said eloquently: "On the other hand, it is to create momentum and publicity.
We selected a town as a model and used memory projection to record the various changes before and after we built a new trade route here, in order to form an intuitive comparison. For this purpose, we can increase our investment appropriately.
In the future, we can use this memory projection as our promotional material and send it to local lords for viewing. If necessary, we can also organize them to visit and learn from model towns.
I believe that with real samples, we won’t need to convince them at all. Many local lords will beg us to cooperate with them. We can then change from being passive to active. The price and the right to choose are in our hands.”
"Good, good, good." Gavin said three times in a row, smiling and saying to Archbishop of Holy Coin, "You have given birth to a good granddaughter. These two points alone are enough to show her talent in business."
This set of test questions was made up on the spur of the moment, and there was no possibility of cheating at all. At least Archbishop Saint Coin did not have the courage to give advice to the young Archbishop Shangjin in front of him, which showed that the other party really had real talent and knowledge.
"It would be best if His Excellency the Road Builder could be satisfied." Archbishop of Holy Coin showed an expression of indifference.
At his age, the glory brought by competition himself is far less than that brought by his descendants. This is an instinct for human reproduction.
"Building a model town, you're so smart! This is definitely a genius idea. This is another in-depth application of memory projection and a special kind of publicity."
Gavin's gaze turned back to the young Archbishop Shangjin again, "Regarding the model town, do you have any goals?" (End of this chapter)
Often in the end, there are no roads, goods cannot be transported in or out, and the losses cannot be recovered in half a century!"
"This is easy. When you sign the road construction agreement with those local lords, you will entrust the road construction affairs to a third-party road construction company and pay the road construction funds directly to the third party. They will build the road on your behalf. This will ensure that the loan will not be misappropriated and ensure the speed of the project progress."
