"Dear Songbird Priest, there are more than 7,000 believers in the Yomei tribe. Half of them are located in the core camp of Yomei Village, and the other half are scattered in the eight surrounding tribal villages. The most obvious difference in their wealth is the residence they live in! They can survive the winter.
A warm shelter is the core property of every tribesman family... According to the calculations of the priests and apprentices, 50% of the houses in Yomei Village are cave shacks, 40% are steeple huts, and less than 10% are newly built wooden houses.
…”
"Each shack and hut is the residence of ordinary tribesmen, who live in a family of about four or five people. The wooden houses are the residences of Chief Shanying, clan elders, and tribal warriors, with an uncertain number of three to five people. And the surrounding tribal villages
, they are all shacks and thatched houses, with only a few wooden houses..."
"Obviously, less than 10% of the tribal noble chiefs in the core camp account for the vast majority of the tribal output. Especially in the past three or four years, they have gained a lot of property through the coal mine trade with the kingdom. And ordinary people
There has been almost no change among the tribal people, and they have even become more tired and poorer because they were forced to mine coal!…”
The sun rises over the mountains in the east and sets over the bay in the west. The Songbird Priest, with dozens of priests and apprentices, and a thousand warriors, has been staying in Yomei tribe for half a month. In this half month, in addition to converting and converting, and spreading the Lord God
Apart from faith, the most important task of the priests is to establish a new order of the Lord God. And the so-called order, simply put, is the distribution of interests and the gathering of people's hearts.
In order to accomplish this, the top priority is naturally to inventory the land and property and distribute it to the tribesmen. Under the ancient tribal system, the land is the property of the entire tribe and will be cultivated and mined by the entire tribe.
, there is no issue of land ownership. The chiefs and elders have the most critical rights to distribute coal, grain, and catch, as well as the rights to build and live in wooden houses that truly symbolize property status.
With the coal trade with the kingdom in recent years, and the influx of large amounts of copper, pottery, cotton and gems, the originally relatively average primitive tribal communes are rapidly disintegrating. The tribes have better bronze tools and tools that can trade in large quantities.
Coal, a channel to exchange for property.
A large number of tribal people at the bottom were arranged to engage in heavy mining and logging work. The chiefs and elders at the upper level began to build spacious wooden houses, wear better cotton clothes, and use pottery flowing in from the south. They even
I smoked the "sacred smoke that communicates with the gods", embedded gems in the wooden house, and offered them to the skulls of my ancestors...
"Witness the Lord God! In just a few years, the gap between the top and bottom of the Yomei tribe has begun to form rapidly... No wonder our missionary work at the bottom is so smooth!... Well, all these changes are also brought about by the kingdom's trade.
Goods, especially luxury goods start!…”
"From this point of view, trade is the first stepping stone, triggering drastic changes within the tribe. It is like a originally solid bird's egg that was incubated by the sudden influx of wealth. The shell was broken from the inside, allowing the brilliance of the Lord God to illuminate
Go in! Then, preaching is like the second spring rain, flowing into the hearts of the lower-class tribesmen. In this way, with the infiltration of faith, what hatches may not be a 'big mountain eagle', but can also be the 'big hummingbird' of the Lord God! ... And
If we wait for the previous generation to stabilize the new tribal order, increase the production capacity, and stabilize the top and bottom like the plateau tribes, it will not be so easy to take action..."
The Songbird Priest picked up the charcoal and drew the symbols of trade and missionary work on the newly chipped wooden board. Through several years of practice in the Yolem Tribe and the Yome Tribe, as well as studying at Shenwei University, he gradually understood
I have learned a few effective missionary strategies and can even summarize some theories.
"Witness the Lord God! The strong fortresses in the mountains are all broken down from the hearts of the people inside. The so-called change of people's hearts lies in the word 'change'! And the large amount of wealth flowing in from trade is something that no large tribe can resist."
Change'. With 'change', there will be new tribal conflicts, and there will be a rock for the kingdom to intervene... And with a rock for a foothold, when it is time to take action, it must take action decisively!"
"According to this idea, similar to the Yome tribe that produces coal mines, there is also the large Salt Lake tribe located inland that produces a large amount of salt mines, and the Ipa tribe that changes hands with lake salt! These two large tribes both belong to Kume
There should have been distribution conflicts within the Yazhu tribe, and there are already priests who are preaching in the early stages...but they are located on the edge of the west coast, under the jurisdiction of the chief priest of Miki, who can only write poetry and divinely inspired literature.
On the surface, a guy who talks about benevolence every day will definitely not be able to use Pili’s preaching methods!…”
"Well... I have to think of a way to see how to get involved. The Yipa tribe is located on the coast, and it is classified as a West Coast parish. But the Salt Lake tribe is in the interior, and its ownership is still undecided... The Great Salt Lake, but
No diocese can give up this strategic location! At least, it must be shared by the West Coast and Xiwan Diocese!…”
The Songbird Priest stood up with his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the chief's wooden house. After a while, he squinted his eyes, lit a sacred cigarette, and looked at the Beehawk Priest who was waiting without leaving.
"Beehawk, do you have any ideas? It doesn't hurt to just tell me..."
"Yes! Songbird Priest. We have distributed the property of the die-hards to the devout believers, and also let the lower-level tribesmen share some benefits. You said that faith is a real benefit, and it should be like flint
Coal can be seen, touched, and can be burned... And the autumn harvest has been completed. The next biggest problem for the tribe is to survive the winter! One needs coal for the winter, and the other needs a sturdy house..."
"Therefore, I was thinking, can we mobilize the manpower of the tribe to build some warm new wooden houses before the winter snow comes? This is the most practical and important survival residence... These wooden houses can be allocated to the most devout believers, and also
Some can be distributed to ordinary tribal people. And wait until next year, we can build more, and even build those 'brick kilns', and in a few years, everyone can live in warm houses..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well... building warm wooden houses for tribal people is a good starting point, but the method is not mature enough!..."
Upon hearing the Beehawk Priest's suggestion, the Songbird Priest raised his lips. He nodded first, confirming the original intention of the suggestion, then shook his head and smiled.
"Fengying, it's the end of October now, and in one or two months at most, how many wooden houses are you going to build, and how many can you build? How do you allocate so many wooden houses, and to whom? How big can the wooden houses be built before they can be allocated?
Are the believers satisfied? Will the believers who have been allocated wooden houses still contribute to helping others build houses next year? And the believers who have not been allocated wooden houses, aren’t they pious enough? What will ordinary tribesmen think after seeing this?…
So, Bee Eagle, you are stirring up people's hearts and causing the order that was originally restored to become chaotic again!"
"Ah! Priest Songbird, I never have such thoughts... I just, I just think, believers can't live in shacks all the time! People will freeze to death in winter, especially the poorest believers, who freeze to death every year
batch…”
"Praise the Lord God! He brings light, and he will naturally bring warmth! Warm houses need to be built, but they cannot be built like this. After they are built, they cannot be divided, but must be shared by believers.
They always remember the kindness of the Lord God!…”
The Songbird Priest smiled slightly and pointed to the north of the camp, a small slope leeward from the river, which is also a good place for several clan elders. The sacred smoke in his hand floated a faint smoke, rising and changing in the sunlight.
Like a smoke mirror, it reflects the unpredictable human heart.
"Bee Eagle, you have to remember! The Lord God's favor cannot be a one-time transaction, but a long-term spring water. Allocating wooden houses is not as good as renting it out. Renting out wooden houses is not as good as the temple's charity, which can last for a long time.
Leave behind the divine grace!…Yomeibu has been renamed Firestone Town, and I have already chosen the location of the great temple in Firestone Town, on the small slope leeward of that place!”
"Confiscate the wooden houses of the clan elders and use them as the initial sacrificial venue for the temple of the main god. Then, recruit the tribesmen from the entire Huoshi Town to start building the side halls around the temple! At the beginning of the construction, the tribesmen must be told that these
The side halls are not only built for the main god, but also for themselves. After the side halls are repaired, the believers who participated in the construction can spend the winter in the side halls of the temple, and the temple will provide fuel!…
"
"Witness the Lord God! How many people can live in a wooden house, and how many tribesmen can survive the winter? Who should be given it or not given to whom? It is also disturbing people's hearts. And a spacious side hall of the temple can accommodate dozens of people.
Hundreds of tribesmen sleep to let them be grateful in winter. In the temple, collective prayer ceremonies can also be held to make believers more pious and better able to serve the main god!"
"As the temple of the main god, we must treat all believers equally and provide the minimum survival guarantee for all believers. This includes fuel for the winter and relief for the spring famine...but there will never be enough people! As a priest in charge of a place, you must always remember
, the mercy of the Lord God is implicit, and must be exchanged for believers with piety and dedication. A once-in-a-lifetime great favor is like a dangerous flood, and an enemy turns against you. But long-term small favors, like a trickle, can make faith
Be firm and let piety be engraved into your bones!…”
Having said this, the Songbird Priest paused and looked around with eagle-like eyes. All the priests were stunned and lowered their heads in awe. Then he concluded with a solemn expression, like a compassionate statue.
"His Majesty once said in Divine Power University, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.' But this is what he said to the priests. It means that you must master the methods of preaching, control the hearts of the people, power and wealth.
The way to distribute!…”
"As for you priests, I just want to say that for the believers under your rule, you must always remember, 'The human heart will not be satisfied, and those who are satisfied will desire more. And when the Lord God cannot give them, faith appears.
The cracks may even cease to exist’!…”
"Therefore, for the believers under the rule, 'It is better to teach them how to fish than to give them fish to eat!', 'To give them fish to eat, it is better to hire them to dig coal, exchange the coal for a lot of fish, and then give some to them!'
…”
"The key point here is that the priests must control trade, circulation and distribution, so as to guide the tribesmen to engage in different labors. No one can be self-sufficient! And the output of the tribes in Xiwan Diocese already has huge
The difference... Who is responsible for production is not important, who is responsible for exchange is the most important. Whoever controls exchange will control the power of distribution, and it will not be so obvious to make people hate..."
"Remember, don't let believers leave you, let them always need priests and always need the Lord God! Self-sufficient believers are the worst and will never be pious for a long time!..."
The words of the Songbird Priest were so enlightening that everyone opened their eyes and felt like they were enlightened. Many of the priests here have studied at Shenwei University. But no one has the talent of the Songbird Priest to learn from it.
From a set of His Majesty's divinely inspired scriptures, this set of economic laws and tips for controlling people's hearts have been "refined"!
"O Lord God! The human heart is never satisfied, and faith is the need of the human heart... It is better to teach people to fish than to give people fish to eat. To give people fish to eat, it is better to let believers work, master exchange and distribution, and then give believers fish... Believers who are self-sufficient,
You will never be pious for a long time?…”
The Beehawk Priest murmured to himself, as if a new beam of light illuminated his mind and led him to an unimagined path. And he was not the only one who took this path, but also the entire
Priests of the Diocese of Saiwan.
They don't know where this road will go and what kind of storm it will cause in the next era. But at present, this is the most effective missionary strategy and the best way to control people's hearts. And their original goal is
It’s just the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth…
"Singing Bird Priest! Song Bird Priest! A messenger from the Feather Clan is here!…"
"Huh?! With the blessing of the Lord God, these cunning Feather Clan finally appeared!..."
Hearing the warrior's reply, the chief priest of the song bird stood up suddenly, with the sharpness of the eagle and the murderous intention of the eagle hidden in his eyes. He gave a few instructions and asked everyone to leave their business. Then he leaned on the staff and sat on the table a little higher.
On the wooden platform, waiting for the Feather Messenger's audience.
